A personal review of design creations
Maison du Parc
In Montréal, an early-century mansion has been completed revamped with an original space organisation creating a special atmosphere.
Hive House
By the Tapi River, the Indian city of Surat (Gujarat) has built its fame as a centre for textiles. In Vesu, the upcoming part of the city, a metallic structure constructed as a mono-space living has recently been completed.
#ConcreteWeek - Sharing Space Building
To end the series (for this time), we focus on an irregular polygon on an island that perfectly has succeeded to mix traditional craft with contemporary techniques.
Day 5: Sharing Space Building, Taiwan
#ConcreteWeek - Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tears
In Sicily, the island of Gods, one is more used to see Greek temples and heavy baroque churches… except for this one in the centre of Syracuse…
Day 4: Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tears, Italy.
#ConcreteWeek - K. Barghouti House
Thick concrete slabs running in parallel, massive structure connected to each others… the incredible lightness of concrete construction.
Day 3: Barghouti House, Jordan.
#ConcreteWeek – Brutalist Beach House
Concrete is not only a grey, dull, cold material… It could be warm too.
Day 2: Sonoma House, Mexico
#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
Iconic Australian Design
Design Tasmania in Lauceston inaugurated (on line for now) a new exhibition dedicated to Australian design icons. Over 100 products designed in Australia are presented in this display curated by Ian Wong.
#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.
