The concept for the benches draws on the predominant visual motif found throughout the cemetery - the cross. This motif is composed into a three dimensional form to create two galvanized steel bases, between which spans a solid timber seat. The clean, delicate metalwork contrasts with the heft of timber and its expressive grain to create a sculptural form in the landscape.  Five benches were commissioned for the central memorial zone in the cemetery, three of which were specially adapted to include backrests and are now located in the Garden of Remembrance War Memorial. The design was chosen as the winner from over 50 international entries and is part of the wider project at the cemetery, which was shortlisted for the 2021 RIBA MacEw... More

This pavilion is located in the limits of the campus of the NCKU in the city of Tainan. It emerged as part of an exercise to analyze the idea of ​​what a pavilion is and represents for architecture. The studies and material processes of this exercise are part of an investigation related to the evocation of an organic origin of the material through curved geometries.   By observing the immediate context we detected that there was a need for a space to allow moments of rest, relaxation, observation and reflection. There is a particular emphasis on the lighting characteristics in the night landscape and can be considered as a beacon for its atmospheric capabilities and the special views from Xiaodong Avenue.   The conception of the project is...

For the project of this Startup the challenge was to transfer the structure of the old office of 120sqm to a reduced space, with half the original area, keeping the spaces of games, canopy, warehouse, besides the work benches, without losing comfort and functionality. The solution to this project was to focus all the needs on a large woodworking in natural OSB and leave the rest of the environment free to the workstations. The use of materials such as concrete, raw OSB, black conductors, white standard tile, which are common in the use of civil works at low cost, but which bring identity to the project, were defined as potentializing the startup identity and making the cost of the work feasible.   In the single blind wall of the spac...

In this specific case: pine wood and reclaimed agriculture me... More
