Self-service Library Station / Architectural Services Department

November 1, 2019 Collin Chen 0

The architectural design concept of the library station is based on the traditional Chinese bamboo writing slips, which were the main media and writing medium in China with a deep cultural and historical reference. Together with modern spatial composition, use of environmentally friendly materials and barrier free design, a comfortable and harmonious library station is created. The bamboo-tubes ceiling and bamboo-strips screen are few of the design features that bring the traditional reading atmosphere to life.

Beyond Bauhaus RIBA Exhibition / Pezo von Ellrichshausen

October 21, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

Instead of a literal translation of the Bauhaus aesthetic, we propose an architectonic experience that evokes both its original ethos and its current deviations. Our exhibition explores a severe sense of order, a kind of rational objectivity, together with a rather oblique presentation of the archival material. Beyond Bauhaus, in our view, can be understood as a form of ubiquitous transparency: a precisely regulated yet universal space that promotes a degree of mystery, curiosity and an endless variety of informal human encounters.

Mathieu Merlet Briand takes statistical data and thousands of photos from a web search as his raw material, which he then reworks with image manipulation algorithms that he has developed. The installation #Blue-Screen Temple is reminiscent of the blue screen that serves to indicate a crash in a computer system.

Volkssportenschuur Folk Sports Barn / De Gouden Liniaal Architecten

August 27, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

The main objective of the design is to create a site that naturally attracts visitors and encourages them to play actively. The interaction between visitor and museum was already unique in the folk sports barn. Another aspect that fascinates us as a designer is dealing with architecture and objects from the past, in a contemporary way.

Pop-Up Park / Collectif Parenthèse

August 14, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

The Armada of Rouen, France, is an event that brings together the world’s largest sailboats and ships, every five years. Faced with the majestic immobility of the most beautiful boats in the world, passersby can take the time to stop on the installation carried out by the Collectif Parenthèse. The proposed scenography is organized in a harmonious dialogue between the geography of the site and the maritime architecture. A succession of vertical lines drawn by a wooden structure of masts and sails that accumulate on the site responds to the horizontality of the sheds, the wharves, the water, and the bank.
