PROJECTS / Architecture

The project is located in a small village in La Cerdanya. Located on the north valley side and facing south, the dense rural core is formed by about 20 houses, is surrounded by fields and meadows where agriculture and farming are the main activities. Breathtaking views of the Cadi in front make this setting, a natural paradise. Most buildings in the village are formed around an era. We can see in the village distribution map, that outside eras spaces organized the old constructions around them. They formed a structure grid set with old barns, stables and houses.

MORE INFORMATION ON:

PROJECTS / Architecture One group of constructions formed by a haystack, a barn, a warehouse, a small house and badiu belonged to our client who wanted to rehabilitate the space set and make his home and several guest pavilions. We keep the volumes of the existing buildings, rehabilitating their facades and roofs and redistributing all interior spaces. The badiu was and old haystack, and now becomes a large covered and open space. It has been renovated keeping the old trusses that supported the roof. We use a roofing system where is no bonding material between timber and tiles. Inside the house several rooms and guests living areas area faced keeping stone walls, wood coating, using iron elements and combining wood flooring with hydraulic tiles. The idea is to create large spaces, in a rural environment, where the surroundings privileged views become part of the interior. Text by DOM Arquitectura

SHIDO

PROJECTS / Interior Design

Kampo lounge is a new shape of herbal pharmacy where doctor prescribes based on oriental medicine and also those who are willing to take herbal medicine in their lifestyle are able to learn deeply about it. Moreover, clinic for acupuncture and moxibustion is a place where treatment based on oriental medicine is provided. A space surrounded by many medicine shelves. Since early times, there have been many medicine shelves at pharmacies where handle herbal medicine. Though furniture with many drawers is supposed to be filled with medicine, I felt that it is also filled with history and deep knowledge of herbal medicine.

PROJECTS / Interior Design

The medicine shelves are lined up and stacked up. Opened drawers are designed to display natural medicine samples and feel its aroma and texture. Furniture used for providing counseling sessions such as a light fixture, desk, and sofa, which constitutes its space, was also designed to have a uniform expression as medicine shelves. Many drawers represent how SUMIYOSHIDO faces to treatment with integrated methods. The space painted in mint green color freshly expresses a world of herbal medicine which is derived from plants. The soft color is intended to create curiously ambivalent atmosphere that heaviness and lightness of furniture coexist. In contrast, the clinic for acupuncture and moxibustion is a quiet space painted in uniformed white. Thick drape curtains were intended to create a soft impression even though it is an examination room. Taking advantage of its wide opening frame, the place was intended to be looked like a large show window. Kampo lounge in mint green and clinic for acupuncture and moxibustion in white is clearly separated by a waiting room. It expressly tells that one building has two spaces for each different purpose.

LOCATION: SWITZERLAND YEAR: 2009 MORE INFORMATION ON:

PROJECTS / Architecture

â&#x20AC;&#x153;this dwelling, which reinterprets the typology of the surrounding gable-roof houses, gains its marked design by adapting form to context parametrically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;

TRIPTOD.COM

PROJECTS / Architecture

The stipulations of two geometric operations were used to determine the groundplan shape of the house. One condition was to keep the neighbouring houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of the lake free; the other was to permit access and parking behind the house. Like a tent, an overhanging pitched roof covers the high rooms in the upper storey. The window strip, which runs along the edge of the roof, emphasises the horizontal structure. 315 vertical wooden slats, affixed to the surface of the wall, completely envelope the facades. By milling the edges, the cross sections of the slats were modulated in correspondence with the window strip so that requirements of sight and sun protection were fulfilled, and various, flowing levels of transparency could be set.

PILA CHAIR

RONAN & ERWAN BOUROULLEC

MORE INFORMATION ON:

PROJECTS / Furniture Design

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Pila, our intention was to design a chair that would be brought down to its minimum, using the least quantity of material and assembling items. The ply wood seat and back parts of the chair are supported by four very thin sticks in solid wood which are maintained together by a structure in injected aluminium that is almost invisible. The back of the chair, like the blade of a knife, subtly comes into the main frame while guaranteeing high support resistance. We wanted this chair to be as light as possible, to almost float in the space as if it would stay on its feet by magic. Pila comes in natural and stained ash.â&#x20AC;?

explosion cabınet

“Inactivated, Explosion sits as a tidy, beautiful credenza. Transparent glass sidewalls provide a glimpse inside this intriguing but staid box. Further exploration of the central vertical seam reveals an entirely different object: With a gentle push, the rails slide further and further open until it seems that the cabinet has exploded beyond the bounds of stability. Even as Explosion’s exterior expands outward, it retains beautiful geometric proportions, using mechanics so complex that they took more than a year to perfect, despite borrowing one of cabinetmaking’s oldest tricks, the sliding dovetail.”

ARTICLES / Introducing an Artist

Austrian artist Valentin Ruhry is mostly known with his experimental light installations. Living and working in Vienna, Ruhry has a unique approach which can be defined as illluminated Minimalism. He prefers to combine various materials such as wood, plastic, metal with fluorescent tubes as the light source. Percieving himself as a researcher as well as a sculpturor, Ruhry reinterprets functions of analog technologies and adds them an aesthetical aspect, generating a composition out of different forms and textures. Geometrical lines and balanced compositions gives a monumental expression to most of his works. Emphasized relations of the sculptures with the space they are installed, provides an appealing tension in an extreme minimalistic manner. Noticable fact about his works is that each project has an absurd way of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;enlightingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. His most fameous and much-debated study, Untitled (Hello World), 2011, shows his intellegence and talent among creating harmony with forms and patterns.

ARTICLES / World Heritage

Each property accommodates up to 800 people, divided vertically for different families, featuring two or three rooms on every floor. The living quarters are surrounded with maximum five stories high, thick and load bearing walls built out of a mix of earth, wood, stone and bamboo, all local materials. The resulting architectural piece functions without any problem: structurally stable, enlightened and well-ventilated.

All 46 of the Fujian Tulou site is regarded as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008, propounding the harmonious relationship between the local culture and architecture.

1968: Radical Italian Design is a recent project of two photographers ‘Maurizio Cattelan’ and ‘Pierpaolo Ferrari’, published as a board book in collaboration with the Deste Foundation. “At the beginning it was a sort of game: Dakis Joannou asked us to combine two imaginations, the one of the Italian radical design and the one of the first Playboys that had been released in the same years. These two revolutions in visual cultures took place in the same year, 1968, that is also mentioned in the title.” The project offers a surreal, unorthodox look from Greek art collector Dakis Joannou’s Italian Radical Design furniture collection. Including the works of most significant avant-garde design firms such as Superstudio, Global Tools and Archizoom; Cattelan and Ferrari aims to merge the seducing effect of the furnitures with modern-day dolls all snuggled up to the products.

ARTICLES / Design Heroes

Eileen Gray (4 September 1913 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 22 March 2005)

Born in Enniscorthy, Ireland in 1878, Kathleen Eileen Moray Gray is a very influential furniture designer and an architect whom had great contributions to modern movement in her time. Spending most of her childhood in their family house, Gray travelled back and forth between Paris, Ireland and London throughout her career. She attended painting classes at the Slade School of Fine Art, yet she decided to work and practice in design rather than graduation. Also known with her intermittent bisexual relationships, Gray continued her practice even on her 90s and managed to be considered as one of the biggest influences on modern architecture. She died in Paris, at the age of 98.

MORE INFORMATION ON:

Design Heroes / ARTICLES

Gray’s artistic interests begins through her childhood with the influence of her painter father. At an early age, she was a fan of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s works which she came across at World’s Fair in Paris, 1900. She worked with lacquer for several years, until she made enough contacts and improved her skills enough to prepare her own collection. She persisted her work though she developed a lacquer disease on her hands and established herself as one of the leading designers of art-deco lacquered screens and decorative panels. V&A Collection and adjustable E1027 table is now a part of MoMA’s design collection. On the other hand, besides her success in furniture design, Gray was a pioneer of the modern architecture too. Encouraged by Le Corbusier, houses she designed in her late years were the purest examples of domestic architecture and interior design. She was appointed as a Royal Designer for Industry by The Royal Society of Arts in 1972.
