A personal review of design creations
#ConcreteWeek – Contemporary Brutalist
After a successful #BrickWeek, here is the #ConcreteWeek, another series dedicated to another material that I particularly like: concrete.
Day One: Contemporary Brutalist House, Brazil
#Brickweek 1 - Augmented Bricklaying
To close this series for now, here is a project demonstrating that bricks are not a material from the past with an ancient technique. AI and humans skills are combined here…
Season One, Episode Five: Greece (with a Swiss touch!)
#BrickWeek 1 - Entre Pinos
After Asia, we are off to the Americas, where bricks are also used very often. Here is a project rewarded in 2018 by AZ Awards in the category Best in Architecture—Residential Single Family Residential Interiors.
Season One, Episode Four: Mexico.
#BrickWeek 1 - Krushi Bhawan
For indoor or outdoor, for humble shelters or sophisticated homes, bricks are providing solutions for every architectural need. Today’s project involves bricks of course but much more by supporting local craftsmanship too.
Season One, Episode Three: India.
#BrickWeek 1 – Sleepless Residence
“Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begin” said once Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This is for sure the speciality of WARchitect for this Sleepless Residence.
Season One, Episode Two: Thailand
#BrickWeek 1 - Cuckoo House
"No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune." ~ Plutarch. This ancient wisdom demonstrates the power of this humble material that has gone through the ages… Let’s start today a week dedicated to the brick!
Season One, Episode One: Vietnam.
Pavilion A – A Tribute to Modern Architecture
In Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, right outside Montréal, Canada, a pavilion with luminous transparency and even a tropical touch magnifies the experience of rest and relaxation.
Lourcine: from Military to Civil Law
In Paris’ 13th Arrondissement, the former Lourcine military barracks erected in 1875 are now home of an extension of University of Paris I. A library, a lecture theatre, classrooms and offices are now installed within the old buildings and in basement levels under the parade ground.
The Rajasthan School
Imbibing the organic character of Indian villages & old cities, the Rajasthan School is a low rise 3 level school with open, enclosed and semi-enclosed spaces of various volumes.
#LifeAfterLockdown – Berghaus Zallinger
For the last post of our series, we mix everything… The location is Italian but people speak German, the mountains are stunning in the winter but remain an endless field for Summer activities too… And the interior combines here as well traditional wood structures with contemporary flavours…
Episode Eight: Berghaus Zallinger, Italy.
