Feld72 establishes a dialogue with the existing via a holistic, ecological kindergarten extension
In South Tyrol, Italy, Feld72 architects devised a seamless expansion of a kindergarten in Lagundo. The new extension links the northeastern part of the complex, originally designed in 1976 by architect Gutweniger Willy.
David Schreyer
Following the dialogue of the existing flat and pitched roofs, the new design proposes a two-storey gabled roof structure and a two-storey flat-roofed building. Constructed as a glue-free solid wood structure with wooden facades and green roofs, the design explores a holistic and ecological approach.

BUREAU creates a cross-cultural sculptural respite for artists and wanderers in the French woods
Set amidst the woods of Sergy, France, architectural firm BUREAU crafts Therese, an organic sculpture and a temporary shelter for artists. The work of Swiss novelist Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz serves as an inspiration for the design, a quaint architectural being in the form of a boulder fostering wanderers and nature lovers. The narrative continues, evolving into a brief series with the emergence of Thérèse.

The modest structure is perceptible through the expanding trees, but the wooden exterior forms the first stage of the design process. The wooden interiors feature two wooden benches and a table for the travellers to use as seating and places to set up their belongings.

Archstudio revitalizes a rural house in Beijing’s suburbs with recycled wooden construction
Located in a typical Chinese village on the outskirts of Beijing, ‘Mixed house’ designed by Archstudio, is a transformation of a courtyard house into a holiday retreat. The project seeks to build anew while retaining the essence and character of the old, built landscape of the village.
Jin Weiqi
The original house had two pitched-roof buildings, two courtyards and several flat-roof volumes. While the north wing has been retained with certain modifications owing to its frequent use and decent structural condition, the south wing had to be conserved and renovated owing to its historical value. Other ancillary volumes for temporary use were dismantled completely.

Fue realizado en madera para facilitar el proceso y minimizar el peso. De hecho, a pesar de añadir una planta, se redujo el peso sobre la estructura del edificio, que fue construido en 1940 y está dotado de una fachada catalogada con grado de protección ambiental.
