Tape Installation #5 took place at 09.-12.06.2010 and won the DMY Award 2010. It is part of an ongoing series of Tape Installations.

Due to planning restrictions the façade had to be three metres wide or less creating a corridor-like space on such a narrow site. The architects tried to resolve this problem by creating a sense of continuity between the street and the back of the house.

The aim was to test the fitness of a particular module, copied from nature, to generate architectural space, with the assumption that the intelligence of the smallest unit dictates the intelligence of the overall system.

A Clothing Store As Soft As Clothes, As Soft As Skin. PVC sheeting is pulled down from the ceiling onto the walls; it’s pulled out from the walls, and pushed back in, to make shelves; it’s pulled out and around to make a counter.

L’Atelier des enfants at the Centre Pompidou has been up and running from 10th July in the new area designed by Mathieu Lehanneur. It now offers a more spacious setting (300sq.m.), which is better adapted to activities for children aged from 2 to 12 years. With its rounded corners, a direct allusion to a skate park as recreational scenery, the preview last Saturday confirmed the delighted ease with which the children became immersed in the venue!

French designer Eric Jourdan and art directress Francesca Avossa redesigned the Première Vision trade fair as a white town made out of translucid Corian.

Aqua Creations specializes in custom design for contract projects including hotels, casinos and restaurants, as well as residential projects.

The highlight of this free-flow exhibition is a dynamic spatial experience that has been staged with multimedia allowing visitors to experience the Big Bang as a phenomenon.

The architects concentrated on the idea of artic glacier, and developed a methodology to virtually design artic furniture and literally printing them out into the real. It was a virtual exercise with physical form as outcome that cuts new ground for realising and materialising a usable product from unhinged creativity.

Zerafa Studio’s design called for the installation of a museum quality interior with careful detailing and a thoughtful material selection that would retain the character and scale of the original space.

‘We understand the skin as the ideal and primordial presentation surface for jewels. Thus the qualities of the skin are translated to the space. With a softly embracing carpet, the initial space is newly formed and becomes a sensual happening…’

A former hat factory is transformed into offices. The industrial loft offers ideal conditions with its open structure for the development of new ideas.

The main challenge was to reconfigure a public housing apartment amidst the regulatory constraints into an object of spatial flow. The concept was simple: to create a large space with distributed furniture and a mirrored surface to reflect the surrounding spaces.

The new design offers a uniform, open space which expands, becoming more complex or dense depending on its orientation and use.

The architects interpreted a round pattern of plants called “Kourin pattern,” which was designed by the famous painter in the Edo period, Ogata Kourin.

The staircase as a compressed spatial motion element of a former free field.

A bathroom where mutually alternating fragmentary mirror surfaces and lighting fixtures form a jigsaw puzzle of an image and a reflection.

A house with a dual personality accommodates an intimate, introverted, closed house with a courtyard and an outward looking, open glasshouse above.

An incredible idea for an elevated garden minimising the building’s footprint and having your Big Mac in style!
