Project • By Rene van Zuuk Architekten B.V. • Pavilions
Resettle
The focal point of the Re-Settle project is to create a village environment with minimal resources, in which refugees can live safely and privately. The accommodating structures consist of detached, semi-detached, as well as connected units, and can be combined as desired. The units resemble hotel rooms, featuring a mezzanine with a bed, a wardrobe, a table with chairs, a toilet, a sink, and a shower. By using a start segment, an end segment, and adjusting the number of the intermediate segments, it is possible to fabricate a 1 person unit (15.0 m²), a 2 people unit (20.7 m²), and a family suite (26.5 m²) for 3 to 4 people. Every unit has the same interior module. If necessary, up to 59 units can be joined together, and form... More

Product • By Pablo Designs • Solis
Solis
In creating Solis, designer Carmine Deganello set out to engage with light in its archetypal form: the sun’s rays. The resulting piece is an engaging blend of light and shadows, casting shimmering rays and radiating patterns onto a space. The effect is a sense of weightlessness — and a redefined environment that invites a new kind of relationship with the light source. A suspension lamp made of lightweight polyester fabric and stainless steel, Solis can be used as a pendant, hung from a wall, or as a freestanding, portable luminaire. More

Project • By Atelier Oslo • Libraries
Deichman Bjørvika
The international architecture competition to design Oslo’s new main library was won by Lund Hagem and Atelier Oslo architects in 2009. The librarians wanted a house that would inspire visitors to explore all the new facilities and activities the modern library can offer. This motivated us to create an open and intriguing building in which you are constantly invited around the next corner, to discover new places.
