BIG House

Prima oara am auzit despre proiectul residential al biroului BIG la o conferinta TED tinuta de Bjarke Ingels.



Astazi am vazut pozele, si arata mult mai bine decat imi imaginam ca va iesi. Apartamentele respira intr-o atmosfera calda care creeaza un "homy feeling" pe care il gasesti mai greu la locuintele colective.

SIZE 62,000 M2, 505 RESIDENCES
COST €73,000,000
LOCATION COPENHAGEN, DK
STATUS COMPLETED 2009

Favourite Architects

Here is a list of architects I admire the most.

Here is the list:

-Louis Baragan is maybe the first architect who really impressed me in the second year at the school of architecure, I remember digging the internet to find more about him. Well, I can sum up his work to Architecture of Silence.

-Herzog & de Meuron because they have a subtle sense of context that amazes me every time they build something new. Bird's Nest is one of best known building and it is as wonderful as they say. I have visited it and I didn't want to go out.

-Peter Zumthor because the Vals Thermal Baths are just amazing. The firm line that "induce" serendipity and relaxation, the materials that blend into the rocky landscape. It is a place I plan to go before I will really need to go. :)
Bruder Klaus Chapel is another breathtaking building. The technical aproach itself is ingenious, but the esthetic result is as considerable as the effort of  molding 50cm contrete layer by layer and burning the encasing logs inside it.

-Tadao Ando because I haven't seen an architect to play better with the light as he does.

-Toyo Ito mainly because of very well structured functions inside his buildings.

-BIG approaches projects in an innovative and joyful manner.

 The list will continue, these are the one who came though my mind at once.
