City Analysis Collage

ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

Creatively debate the city using the collage technique.

“… because collage is a method deriving its virtue from its irony, because it seems to be a technique using things and simultaneously disbelieving in them, it is also a strategy which can allow utopia to be dealt as image, to be dealt in with fragments without having to accept it in toto, which is further to suggest that collage could even be a strategy which, by supporting the utopian illusion of changelessness and finality, might even fuel a reality of change, motion, action and history.” ROWE, Colin, KOETTER, Fred, “Collage City”, p.149, the MIT press, 1983.

Her Vertical Retain Us

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Los Cerrillos, Chile, Architects: Cruz-Mandiola, elton_léniz, Artists: Fernando Prats, Ámbito Cero, Photographs: Cristóbal Palma / Estudio Palma

The work of Fernando Prats sustains itself in the landscape of Chile, both geographical and human, and the immersive energy of its extreme nature. The piece entitled “Her Vertical Retains Us” (Su Vertical nos Retiene) arises out of continuous observation of the Andes, the “Poem of Chile” (Poema de Chile) by Gabriel Mistral, and drawings from the 1875 Atlas of Physical Geography of the Republic of Chile, done by geologist Pedro José Amado Pissis.

House of Light Voids

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Medan, Indonesia, Architects: byrayboedi – Raymond Boedi, Photographs: Saputra Hendy

This residential project is located in Medan, Indonesia. The land itself is 150 m2 and the 3 storey house is 250 m2. It all starts from a simple line and altogether, they transform into varying sizes and shapes. With a hint of nature’s greatest source of life – light, they form a perfectly balanced architecture. The façade is a 3.8 meter high concrete wall, shielding the porch that are purposively hidden at first sight to trigger interests and curiosities.

Caseta de les Brugueres Refurbishment

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: El Priorato, Spain, Architects: GMO Arquitectura, Photographs: Del Rio Bani

“Caseta de las Brugueras” refurbishment is a Project to rehabilitate a listed small Catalan country house or “Mas”, to turn it into a small refuge for short-term vacation breaks. The “Mas” is located in Priorat, an area of volcanic origin, a region with a rough and wild appearance, with landscapes of impressive luminosity. The building, settled in this same environment, retains the essence of the region; the silence and tranquility with maximum respect for the pre-existing construction and in close contact with the environment.

G House

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Tel Aviv, Israel, Architects: Axelrod Architects, Pitsou Kedem Architect, Photographs: Amit Geron

Appearing to effortlessly float above the ground, the G House advances the firm’s residential design beyond a purely minimalist approach. The G House is horizontally expressed but uses vertical space and light in surprising ways. The simply shaped residence on a small half of a dunam lot is organized along a horizontal framework which contains two living levels and a basement. The main level features copious glazing which opens to a private yard and pool; it is the entire wall of glass that creates the illusion of a floating building. The roof itself hovers above the house, separated by a slim glass window line.
