Star Arch
let me know what you think of the new project we have in the office:
We have to design this house somewhere in the 94 where 20 young student
architects are going to live for 2 months - of course the house is full
of remotely controlled cameras (reflecting the urban environment of an
imminent 'google street live' future).
The students are taught academy style by tough and ruthless young wolves
(winners of Moniteur premier oeuvre prizes and the like) who shout at
them bawl them down and generally rip up their drawings.
At the end of each week they are told they will be able to sketch up a
scheme with a great architect - on friday night Jean/Norman/Zaha turns
up in his/her ferrari/porsche/mini cooper and the whole thing goes out
live on prime time (well, ok maybe Arte). at the end of the evening the
audience votes for the scheme that sucks the most and the poor sod gets
kicked out on his arse. The show will unfortunately lack one of the main
ingredients of the previous shows - the students will be too shagged
out to get shagged. The winner of the whole thing (only one stupid
enough to be left at the end of two months for those of you without
television) gets to recover the 10 year defects liability on the house
and goes on to be an outplacement student helping out Bradd Pitt do the
difficult curvy bits in Frank O Gherys office.
It's called StarARCH, or maybe TOPArch or Master Builder?
it's coming soon on a screen near you.
Le projet, dan sa volumétrie, est une réponse simple et économique à l’évolution des réglementations multiples et contraignantes d’urbanisme dans une zone inondable.
L’hétérogénéité architecturale du quartier pavillonnaire permet une esthétique unique exprimée par le choix des matériaux pour les façades et la composition informelle des baies.
La maison consiste en un volume rectangulaire implanté entre les deux limites séparatives. Le volume est
divisé en trois éléments principaux:
