Week 9 Task

barcelona pavillion

This building was used for the official opening of the German section of the exhibition. It is an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and its spectacular use of extravagant materials, such as marble, red onyx andtravertine. The same features of minimalism and spectacular can be applied to the prestigious furniture specifically designed for the building, among which the iconic Barcelona chair.


Redin House

Located in a village at the limit of France and Switzerland (Leymen), was one of the earliest works of Herzog & de Meuron, conducted for the art gallery owner Hanspeter Rudin.
At first glance one might say that the shape and external appearance is a very typical home, as we imagined a house in our childhood: the waters of two roof, windows and doors and a great big fireplace. The roof is nothing more than a roof, walls, and both are simple walls forming a single plane where they have perversely doors and windows.

house at bordeaux

It is a house where the technology meets the architecture to create a universe at the same time simple and complex.
The house in Bordeaux has been designed for a family of parents and three children, but with a purpose.
The client, Jean Francois Lemoine, was paralyzed as a result of an automobile accident and wanted a home that could meet their own needs and at the same time it was a home for the whole family: a solution that combines two parallel lives. The building should not be a house for a disabled person, quite a diverse and amazing universe, a creative scenario in which developed most of his days.
