FUJIMOTO HOUSE

in

Simply put, this house is like a geometric forest.Combining untreated wood in its natural form in an irregular lattice to create a loose boundary. Natural breeze flows through the gaps, and strong summer sun is shielded by this loose lattice structure; between nature and artificiality. A place both loosely protected and at the same time, thoroughly open. One is able to physically climb through this lattice, to the upper part of the structure is a space like a sky-terrace where one can find a place of refuge. Move through the space like climbing a tree.

The gaps, or spaces between the lattice structure can be used as shelves, or a place for your favorite pot-plant. A place to live, can be re-written as a place filled with opportunities or cues where one can engage, it is also a place to harness and invite elements such as wind and sun to orchestrate a pleasant space. This Forest of lattice structure will be place for living which is new yet primitive.

UPSTATE HOUSE

in

Architect :  Andy Bernheimer Houses throughout the 20th Century have attempted to create a seamless transition between interior and exterior through the use of transparency.  Rather than induce contact between the two, however, the use of glass has only served to isolate the two into hermetically sealed conditions which, through the use of ever more efficient technological envelopes and climate control systems, have less and less to do with each other.

HOUSE IN SPAIN arch FAUSTINO

in

“Didier Fiuza Faustino works reciprocally summons up art from architecture and architecture from art, indistinctly using genres in a way that summarises an ethical and political attitude about the conditions for constructing a place in the socio-cultural fabric of the city. Spaces, buildings and objects show themselves to be platforms for the intersection of the individual body and the collective body in their use." read more http://didierfaustino.com/ [gallery link="file" columns="1" orderby="title"]
