Casa G+S by Grooppo.

Rehabilitación de una vivienda del siglo XIX en Savona, Italia.

El diseño del pavimento imita el original, baldosas hexagonales de diferentes colores que combinados en distintos diseños definen la secuencia de espacios, diferenciándolos pero enfatizando la continuidad entre ellos.

Christopher Dresser, ‘Botanical lecture diagram’

Christopher Dresser (1834-1904)
Botanical lecture diagram
About 1855
Pen and watercolour
Museum no. 3981

This diagram shows how Dresser reduced botanical drawings to their core structural elements. He hunted within these basic arrangements of stems, leaves and flowers to discover new models for design. This scientific deconstruction of form and structure was similar in spirit to Owen Jones’s methodical study of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra.

Savioz Fabrizzi - Protective canopy for the archaeological ruins at St. Maurice Abbey, 2010. A large “floating” covering, made of steel mesh and corrugated translucent plastic, is hung from the mountain side via a network of cables and hangs freely from any of the adjacent historical buildings. Thousands of rocks are placed on the canopy, which filters the light to the ruins below, provides the weight to stabilize the canopy from shear forces, and denotes the site’s history of frequent landslides. Via, photos (C) Thomas Jantscher.

Ok so, me and my friend went and explored this old abandoned christian church hospital. Lemme tell ya, I almost didn’t go in. It’s that freaky. The bottom 2 floors are completely pitch black because the windows and doors are cemented up. But we carried on and I’m glad we did. Looking down the elevator shaft was terrifying. Way more scarier when you’re there let me tell ya. - By Rantar
