Civic Friche - Part 4

CHARLES KAISIN

EXAGGERATING THE STRUCTURAL QUALITIES OF THE ORIGINAL WITHOUT REVERTING TO IMITATION.

SCÉNARIO MANOEUVRE

IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN INDUSTRIAL FACILITY PROJECTED TO THE SCALE OF RATIONALIST TOWN PLANNING.

ALL GLOSSY, CHEEKY INSERTIONS WHICH UNAMBIGUOUSLY PROJECT THEIR PRESENCE THROUGH THE MAINTAINED FAÇADE.

A TINY SLIVER OF SPACE BETWEEN TWO UNASSUMING BUILDINGS IN THE MENILMONTANT NEIGHBORHOOD.

EACH STUDIO, A FORMER REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT, COMES FULLY INSULATED (THE SOUND SEPARATION IS ENVIABLE) AND SECURED WITH A BOLTED DOOR.

INDUSTRY DE-MEMORIALIZED

BY BOAT, AUTOMOBILE, BICYCLE OR EVEN ON FOOT.

WITH NO MONUMENTAL ENTRY – PEOPLE SLIP IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING SEAMLESSLY.

FIGHT TO CATCH A MOUSTACHE

THEY INFUSE THEIR MONSTERS WITH THE ENERGY FROM OUR IMAGINATIONS.

I THINK LUXURY IS NOT RELATED TO MATERIALITY, IT’S JUST SOME INCREDIBLE SITUATIONS. AND AS ARCHITECTS, YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE INCREDIBLE SITUATIONS.
