Se propone la puesta en valor y en uso de un huerto abandonado que ha permanecido intacto en el límite del núcleo urbano y los cultivos agrícolas, haciendo un ejercicio de memoria y ofreciendo al pueblo un nuevo espacio público: un huerto de gestión colectiva, un parque y un espacio escénico usado como cine de verano, escenario para actuaciones y conciertos y plataforma para la conocida banda del pueblo.

Sin título . 1971-1973

+ Museo Reina Sofía

La obra de Ree Morton (1936, Nueva York-1977, Chicago) se sitúa en el contexto de la escena artística de los Estados Unidos a principios de los 70, caracterizada por una enérgica reacción contra el expresionismo abstracto de posguerra, que se reflejó, por un lado, en el minimalismo y, por otro, en el arte conceptual y el arte pop.

La riqueza espacial en una vivienda en altura para las buenas vistas, en la empinada ladera de un volcán, no puede venir sólo de la fluida relación de la estructura bidimensional del espacio. Gran parte de su riqueza se establece en la estructura tridimensional y en su relación con el panorama o en su contacto con la ladera.

The ground floor to the 4th floor consti­tutes the plinth volume with vertical façade elements, which is crowned by the actual resi­dential tower. The appear­ance of this tower is dominated by cubic structures that are inserted in the western façade with axes that are slightly offset towards the south, giving the building a scale-like structure. The closed surfaces of these exposed concrete cubes serve as solar collectors at the same time.

A cooperative house with eleven dwelling units located in the suburb of western Tokyo. Firstly, skeleton plan was provided to the potential residents. Infill design was developed based on this skeleton frame. Under such scheme, the challenge was to develop the space dynamically through interactivity of the skeleton and infill design instead of simply adjusting the infill design into the skeleton frame.

Zij het met de verborgen agenda van de ontwerper. Achter het huis sluiten twee nieuwe volumes op elkaar aan, in rode baksteen en elk met een zadeldak. Het ene volume leunt tegen de buur aan, het tweede staat in het midden van het perceel.

A succession of everyday spaces occupied the lower floor of an 18th century building on castle hillside. The estate existed ilustrating a period and an identity that were clouded due to extended neglet. The plan for the house elected spatial values, designed geometric affinities, precision in relation to exterior windows. The garden made ir possible to enhance the depth of the view over the Baixa rooftops and the river. An existing addition was rebuilt to house more private functions. The secular spaces were opened up to incorporate more significant uses. The unexpected discovery of a cistern crosses the depth horizontally and connects with the sky, the most protected space of the house.

The works in Dip address core concerns in Lund’s practice, interrogating the limits of the object. They lean on the history of photographic processes and techniques, erasure and imprint, as well as sculptural processes of casting and carving, bringing into play contemporary concerns surrounding the precarity of object-hood in a dematerialised world.

The Velenje "Promenada" is an important city space and a vital city thoroughfare. It is one of the central axes of the centre of Velenje, a young town designed in the 1950s, based on the Modernist ideal of the garden city; as such, it is unique in the Slovene space. The renovation of the Promenada represents the first step towards the gradual revitalisation of the city centre. It's tasks are to supply the city with the missing programmes and to help it reclaim its original character of a town-in-a-park. A successful renovation, informed by the awareness of the excessive surfaces designated for traffic, must bring together two requirements seemingly at odds with each other: "More greenery and more programme."

With the addition of this building, Columbia University, one of the world’s most prestigious institutions for arts and sciences, greatly expands its capabilities in an interdisciplinary approach to scientific research. The building is located on the Northwest corner of the University’s historic Morningside Heights Campus designed by McKim, Mead and White in 1897. It adds approximately 4.500 m2 of laboratory space and 2.000 m2 of classroom, office and study space. It also includes a 1.300 m2 research library, a 170-seat auditorium, a public café and a new entrance to the University’s Basketball and Volleyball Gymnasium.

Un ecosistema en el que las relaciones entre organismos- humanos o no- y sus entornos- construidos o no- nacen desde las preocupaciones de las tres ecologías: medioambiental, social y mental (imaginativa).

Pfanner House . Chicago

The Pfanner House explores an evergreen architectural issue of architectural boundaries and the idea of an open space, and sets itself a task of opening one space to the other space.
Much was said in recent years about the Self and the Other. That would mean that in order to accept another person we do not need to expect them to be like us, not even exaggeratedly different than us, but just accept them as being Other. Other just means that – OTHER – without judgment, comparison, pretenses toward the other, without categorizing the other, (without saying ”he or she is like this or that”), but instead acknowledgement of the Other. There is a certain “COOLNESS” that is involved, in a way when we are glad of the distance and at the same time very aware of the Other.

A seminal figure in the generation of post-war German artists including Martin Kippenberger and Albert Oehlen, Förg’s multidisciplinary practice—initiated in the mid 1970s—foregrounds a dialogue between painting, sculpture, photography, and architecture. Always interested in a critical investigation of modernism and its legacy, Förg challenged artistic conventions, equally considering the pictorial field, the frame, and the physical space beyond it.

El proyecto activa el patio del castillo y sitúa el programa a ambos lados del mismo, haciendo revivir este vació, susceptible ahora de utilizarse para realizar eventos festivos del pueblo. El acceso se realiza por el porche. A un lado se localizan la cocina, la sala de exposiciones y la sala de proyecciones, y al otro los talleres para los artistas invitados, los niños y las dependencias administrativas.

Sunflower House . Port de la Selva

Moving their home to the outer limits of a small town in the province of Zaragoza is the wish of a newly married couple about to retire. Embodied in their decision lies the conviction that it is possible to both undergo a radical change and still enjoy the comforts of their previous life. To explore this dual situation a project has been designed which attempts to evade its usual position as a solution at the end of a process and to take positions as starting point or state previous to the development.

The house also deals with the extreme weather conditions of its location: a very windy peninsula of “la Costa Brava” right near to the Cap de Creus National Park.
