GUGA Books / WT Architects

January 7, 2021 罗靖琳 - Jinglin Luo 0

At beginning of 2020, everyone stays at home, traveling is not allowed. During this special period, there is still one thing that could let our mind fly far away, talk to ancient wise people beyond time and location, which is reading. The mode of Bookstore Plus does not fit our social environment well, and the to-do just a popular project is never our main target. During the only face to face communication, we agreed that the bookstore design work should go back to the behavior of reading itself. One civilization arrived a strange universe cross time and space, a spaceship landing on an unfamiliar planet, setting up a new camp. The whole bookstore is a journey of the new human who enjoys traveling in the universe of knowledge.

Two years ago, Atelier LAI constructed a bridge in an old village in Huizhou, named “Suspended Flying Bridge” for it spanning the two ends of the bank and hanging above the river. The material is taken from the local bamboo. The design utilized modern structural knowledge and picturesque conceptions to bring out the resilience of bamboo, showing a tectonic scenario of the countryside. Here and now, the material and the technique are interwoven into an organic and self-contained object.

The CC house is located on a sloping terrain, which has  a double access. This condition allowed us to use the privileged position to organize the house in a composition of two volumes that overlap each other. The lower volume contains the public program of the house, while the upper volume contains a private access from the garage that leads directly to the bedrooms.

Oficinas Wakasabi / Wakasabi

January 7, 2021 Andreas Luco 0

Wakasabi arises as the fusion between Mexican and Japanese culture. Wabi-sabi refers to a Japanese aesthetic term that describes a type of aesthetic vision based on the beauty of imperfection. In our work, this reference highlights the valuable patina on objects, where we allude to perfection within the imperfections caused by time; the ageing, the deterioration, the layers of time that form on the walls and that represent a different generation. Our office is located in the heart of Colonia Tabacalera in a building whose construction dates back to the arrival of the modernist movement in Mexico. It emphasizes those imperfections that tell us stories that correspond to the users who inhabited the space in the past.
