Ron Arad and Kengo Kuma pavilions test new ways of living within landscape

by Jenny Brewer, It’s Nice That

Architectural installations by Ron Arad, Jean Prouvé and Kengo Kuma will form part of this year’s Design at Large series at Design Miami Basel, exploring new ways of living within landscape. The series of pop-up structures will be curated by Cabana Magazine’s Martina Mondadori, and aim to demonstrate inventive approaches to architectural design for the outdoors.

Ron Arad Armadillo Tea Canopy is a free-standing structure comprising five overlapping timber shells, designed to blend with natural surroundings and provide an intimate enclosure within a garden. The pavilion was originally made for Revolution Precrafted Properties in 2015 and presented at the festival’s US show, Design Miami.

Jean Prouvé’s Temporary School of Villejuif was originally made in 1957 as part of a commission to design a lightweight, easily dismantled and rebuilt school for the inner Paris suburbs. This is presented by Galerie Patrick Seguin.

Kengo Kuma will present a brand new pavilion with Galerie Philippe Gravier, called Owan, made from interweaving metal strands with an inner membrane. The architect previously showed two other structures at Design Miami in December, including the Oribe Tea House (pictured).

The Design at Large programme will also show pop-up gardens and prototypes for urban farms. Design Miami Basel opens 14-19 June in Basel, Switzerland.

Calm in the storm: Hugh Dutton designs Art Basel’s Swire Properties Lounge

by Ann Binlot, Wallpaper*

For the occasion of Art Basel, British architect Hugh Dutton created a rare oasis of calm in the middle of Hong Kong. The Swire Properties Lounge – located on the Level 1 Concourse opposite the Hall 1C entrance of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre – provided select visitors with a place to relax and have a drink or snack while perusing the seemingly endless aisles of galleries at Asia’s biggest art fair, which ended its five-day run on 26 March.

For the lounge, Dutton referenced the Climate Ribbon he designed for the almost-finished Brickell City Centre by Swire Properties in Miami, a city that has a very close connection to both Art Basel and the Hong Kong-based real estate developer. The floating ribbon took the shape of a figure eight, a symbol of infinity and continuity, winding around the front column where the circular bar area was situated, before completing the figure eight around the opposite column. In front of the bar was an area for visitors to take a break from the crowds and discuss the myriad works of art they had just viewed while enjoying the view of the harbour. The figure eight echoes, according to the press release, ‘Swire Properties’ commitment to environmental sustainability’.

‘The essence of this lounge design is about creating a canopy — a shelter over people to come and celebrate and enjoy Art Basel,’ explained Dutton in a short film on the project. ‘And to do that, we have this idea of creating a fluid ribbon that begins at one end, and then just wraps around a column and then engages with the people and the shelter and then comes back down again. So it’s a simple movement in light, picking up the light we have from the harbour, and celebrating architecture and design, science and art, here at Art Basel in Hong Kong.’

In partnership with UTA Fine Arts, the Swire Properties Lounge also hosted a number of talks during Art Basel touching upon topics like temporary architecture, art disruption in fashion and art in malls. Invited to participate as a panelist, Dutton engaged in conversation with artist Larry Bell, UTA Fine Arts head Josh Roth, Serpentine Gallery director Hans Ulrich Obrist, curator and art dealer Jeffrey Deitch, Paddle8 co-founder Alexander Gilkes, M+ curator Aric Chen and collector Robbie Antonio.

Legendary designers like Tom Dixon and Zaha Hadid create prefab houses and pavilions

Robbie Antonio , founder and president of New York-based Antonio Development and managing director of Philippine-based Century Properties is offering anyone this possibility, through Revolution: a range of pre-crafted limited-edition homes and pavilions, exclusively designed in partnership with an impressive list of over 30 architects, designers and artists that include Pritzker Prize-winner Zaha Hadid, Kengo Kuma, Gluckman Tang, and David Salle.

What do you do when living in a condominium designed by a starchitect no longer cuts it? You get a pavilion designed by said starchitect built for you and only you. Or if you wish, even a house. You just need the space, permit and a local contractor to make that happen.

Each pavilion and home is individually branded by its designer’s personal concept of spatial form and social function. The result is a diverse and global collection of architecturally innovative, pre-crafted properties, ranging from functional pavilions to modular homes.

“As an art collector, I had the idea to make high-design architecture collectible and available to the public,” says Mr Antonio, on the idea behind Revolution.

Revolution was launched at Design Miami 2015 with two pre-crafted pavilions by Zaha Hadid and Gluckman Tang. It will continue to debut new designs – both homes and pavilions – at Salone del Mobile in Milan this April. Mr Antonio says that there has been interest throughout the world. He recently closed a deal with a developer for 27 homes, but declined to give further details.

Prices start at US$35,000 (S$48,000) for pavilions and the wait time is a minimum six weeks for certain models. The average price of a pavilion is over US$100,000, while the average price of a home is US$300,000.

Mr Antonio says that Revolution targets a variety of markets. “It could be the individual collector who is looking to have his very own Zaha Hadid-designed pavilion to serve as ‘architectural jewellery’,” he says. “Additionally, Revolution targets businesses, such as real estate and hospitality developments, that have chosen to invest in the value of design and the experience of branded architecture.”

The homes and pavilions are crafted around the world and then shipped to the buyers’ doorsteps. On the design brief, Mr Antonio says he told his collaborators that the designs had to be fully transportable and cost-efficient and gave size limits for pavilions and homes, but allowed the creatives to run free with design concept.

Pavilions are designed as dynamic one-room spaces, adaptable for a variety of functions and existing environments. As each pavilion is individually branded by its designer’s personal concept of spatial form and social function, collectors can choose from a range of designs specifically tailored to their lifestyles and tastes.

Zaha Hadid’s Volu Dining Pavilion has her signature organic form and curves, with cells on the ceiling and the floor. Bespoke designed furniture complement the pavilion. Meanwhile Gluckman Tang’s Model Art Pavilion is a light structure that mediates the relationship between its site, the participant and the art object.

Besides, homebuyers keen on high-design living can purchase multi-bedroom homes, complete with spatial functions and fully equipped with premier amenities and finishings. One such house is Eden by Marcel Wanders. Open and unfenced, the generous use of glass and a roof that extends over the exterior connect the inside and outside spaces to create twice the living area for special private and social gatherings. A row of signature Marcel Wanders columns clad in synthetic textile, woven according to local craftsmanship, lines the periphery, casting shadows during the day and lighting up dramatically at night.

Mr Antonio says Revolution is more than just picking a home or pavilion from a catalogue. “Revolution is somewhat customisable – clients can select different models, sizes and materials depending on their needs, their budget, and their lifestyle.”

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: NEST POD BY FERNANDO ROMERO

by Daria Speiwok, Coveted Edition

Our interior design magazine will introduce one of today’s most relevant international architects. Fernando Romero is tightly involved in architectural design. The architect has designed a house of the future Nest Pod.

Fernando Romero’s projects address a wide range of public and private initiatives from community education to urban development. Fernando Romero has been selected to design the New International Airport for Mexico City. It is estimated that the project will require an investment of 9 billion dollars. It is going to be the most sustainable airport in the world. During his practice in Europe, Romero worked in Paris under Jean Nouvel and in Rotterdam under Rem Koolhaas.

CovetED Architectural Design Nest Pod by Fernando Romero

Fernando Romero has found a firm FR-EE. Converging organic and systematic design approaches, FR-EE’s projects translate contemporary moments of society and culture into built form, achieving ground-breaking results through extensive technological advancements, through research, and implementation of green infrastructures. The concept of translation embodies his understanding of architecture, using design to transform context, conditions and moments into buildings and places with structured identities. Ultimately, the goal of each project is to experience and render periods of societal, political and economic transformation into three-dimensional form.

Today FR-EE is a global architecture and design practice operating at the intersection of culture, development and technology with offices in New York and Mexico City. Collaboration is central to FR-EE’s design investigation, working closely with clients, policy makers, curators, educators, non-profit entities, developers, engineers, contractors, artists and anthropologists, to ultimately reach comprehensive and innovative solutions. Beyond practicing design, FR-EE orchestrates initiatives aimed at elevating standards of living and education, particularly in Latin America, through research, sports and curation.

The Nest Pod is a pre-crafted home that belongs both to Architecture and Product design worlds. Manufacturing this house will require the same discipline of the construction of a car, a yacht, or an airplane. We live in a world where mobility became a very important asset, and this house is designed for a new generation of people that can live simultaneously in different parts of the world. It is an innovative prefabricated house, which is intelligently suited for any environment or location, answering to these urging necessities. Its elliptical shape allows the building to harmoniously relate to any context. The minimized footprint greatly reduces the impact on the build site, by preserving a natural environment or requiring a small site in an urban landscape.

Derived from the elliptical forms found in nature, the home responds to it environment with a slight shift of the main horizontal axis, which provides passive shading on its most vulnerable sides. The 95 sqm. dwelling’s interior is split along the North-South axis, creating opportunities for flow of natural ventilation and interaction through the interior spaces. The structural grid, which radiates from the center, allows the home to be easily fabricated off-site, shipped, and constructed on location.

The sleek, smooth exterior dialogues with its gently carved interior spaces. One single public area opens to the exterior by its panoramic windows, oriented North and South. A wall compression in the center of the house allows two areas, for dining and living, which defines as well on the sides the space for the two private rooms. Each dwelling is customizable in room number and color, allowing each user to create a one of a kind experiential dwelling.

The Revolution brings with it a culmination of nature derived forms and environmental spaces designed for the modern dweller.

This futuristic pop-up home looks like a pod from outer space

by Chloe Pantazi, Business Insider

First, a French architecture firm released a pop-up home that looks like it’s made out of LEGO blocks.

Now, the Mexico City-based architect Fernando Romero has designed a concept for a prefabricated home called The Nest Pod, a saucer-shaped structure that can be built anywhere and customised according to room numbers and colour.

The unconventional home, which we first read about on the design site De Zeen, was conceived for the precrafted property firm Revolution Precrafted.

It’s designed to fit in multiple environments and locations, with an elliptical shape that “allows the building to harmoniously relate to any context,” according to Romero’s write-up of the project.

“We live in a world where mobility became a very important asset, and this house is designed for a new generation of people that can live simultaneously in different parts of the world,” he wrote.

The Nest Pod wouldn’t bear a burden on the landscape around it, either. “The minimized footprint greatly reduces the impact on the build site,” Romero explained, and only requires “a small site in an urban landscape.”

Take a closer look at the futuristic pop-up home below.

The Nest Pod is developed around a North-South axis, and takes up a mere 95 square-metres of space. “The structural grid, which radiates from the center, allows the home to be easily fabricated off-site, shipped, and constructed on location,” the architect explained.

This is the living room. Though the sofa doesn’t look that comfortable, the “panoramic windows” could mean spectacular views depending on where you set up your pod home.

Here’s the dining area, divided from the living area by a wall compression to create “gently carved interior spaces” that reflect the home’s exterior.

For a good night’s sleep, you would need to put up some curtains in the bedroom. As you can see, the structure’s curved theme continues inside, where even the light pours through in an elliptical shape.

The bathroom is a minimalist’s dream.

This design includes a pool outside. One single public area opens to the exterior by its panoramic windows, oriented North and South. Each dwelling is customisable in room number and colour, allowing each user to create a one of a kind experiential dwelling.

If the home looks more like a vehicle, that’s not entirely unintentional. “Manufacturing this house will require the same discipline of the construction of a car, a yacht, or an airplane,” Romero explained in the write-up.

While you might have to forget about privacy, the best part of living in this pop-up pod would be getting to choose the colour of your home and the number of rooms it has.

J Mayer H and Fernando Romero launch designs for prefabricated houses

by Amy Frearson, Dezeen

Fernando Romero and Jürgen Mayer H have become the latest architects to contribute to Revolution Precrafted, a prefabricated building service that already offers designs by Zaha Hadid, Sou Fujimoto and Kengo Kuma (+ slideshow).

Revolution Precrafted homes — The Nest Pod by Fernando Romero

Mexico City-based Romero and Berlin architect Mayer H have both designed compact homes for the company, which was launched by developer and art collector Robbie Antonio to make high-end architecture more accessible.

Romero‘s design, named The Nest Pod, is the most unusual of the two new designs. Elliptical in plan, it is intended to be manufactured more like a car or an aeroplane than a house, according to the designer.

The main floor level is set above ground – a move to prevent the building impacting too much on the landscape beneath it.

Inside, curved rooms are organised around a north-south axis. They include two living spaces – one for lounging and one for dining – and a pair of bedrooms, creating a total floor area of 95 square metres.

“The Nest Pod is a pre-crafted home that belongs both to architecture and product design worlds,” explained the FR-EE founder, whose best-known designs include the anvil-shaped Museo Soumaya in Mexico City.

“We live in a world where mobility became a very important asset, and this house is designed for a new generation of people that can live simultaneously in different parts of the world,” he said.

“It is an innovative prefabricated house, which is intelligently suited for any environment or location. Its elliptical shape allows the building to harmoniously relate to any context.”

Mayer H’s design meanwhile has a more straightforward rectilinear plan. Its rooms are encased by glass, while an opaque outer structure frames a series of terraces, and also provides shade.

Broad diagonal columns support the overhanging roof, which prompted the name The Diago Home.

“The Diago Home is a comfortable home with large covered terraces,” said a statement from the architect, who works under the studio name J Mayer H and previously completed the revamp of Seville’s Plaza de la Encarnacíon.

“Floor and ceiling undulate around the enclosed rooms, offering a flexible floor plan with generous outdoor areas,” he added.

Indoor and outdoor curtains will be included, according to the architect, so residents can maintain their privacy.

Revolution Precrafted launched during Design Miami 2015, offering prefabricated homes and pavilions by 30 notable architects and designers, also including Tom Dixon, Marcel Wanders, Ron Arad and SelgasCano.

The company aims to harness the benefits of prefabrication, which include low construction costs and build times, to make aspirational architecture more collectible.

Fernando Romero — The Diago Home by J Mayer H

“The core appeal of prefabricated structures is the freedom from location and construction constraints; however, the result is often monotonous, homogenous design,” said the company during the launch.

“Revolution Precrafted Properties reinvent this model by creating unique, high-design spaces that transcend geographic borders and excite the senses.”

Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher unveiled their design for the company at the Design Miami fair – a dining pavilion shaped like an open clam shell.

Prefabs designed for extreme locations

by Ian Spula, The Spaces

This article was originally published by The Spaces, a digital publication exploring new ways to live and work.

Prefab housing — designed by computer and made in modules — is inherently suited to extreme climates and topography.

It can be assembled in a matter of days, sometimes hours, which makes it ideal for isolated sites. And the need for a frame to survive a trip on a flatbed means that extra rigor generally goes into engineering and manufacturing.

A little dressing up and you have a highly durable dwelling.

As prefab comes of age, the offerings are becoming ever more diverse. On one end of the spectrum, Zaha Hadid and Ron Arad recently designed collectable pavilions for garden tea parties for Revolution Precrafted Properties. At the same time, governments are using modular units for Antarctic research stations.

There’s something for everyone, it seems.

Storm-resistant homes have been designed for the US Atlantic coastline in response to Hurricane Sandy and there are even dwellings conceived to withstand tsunamis and earthquakes. Other designs pay heed to snow loads or polar chill. Once one of these tough-as-nails structures arrives on-site, all it needs is anchoring.

Here are six head-turners designed to battle the elements.

Visit The Spaces too see more durable dwellings for intense climates and tricky terrain.

An Interview With Revolution Producer Robbie Antonio

by Madelaine D’Angelo, Huffpost

Design and real estate developer, Robbie Antonio is known for his visionary work and innovative collaborations. His latest project, Revolution, is a collection of limited edition pre-crafted homes and pavilions that seek to democratize design and architecture. The project unites over 30 of the world’s renowned architects, artists and designers to create exclusive, pre-crafted livable spaces. Currently, Revolution is collaborating with Kengo Kuma, Cluckman Tang, Campana Brothers and Pritzker Prize-winner Zaha hadid, to name a few.

One of the biggest collectors in the Philippines, Antonio’s passion for art has established him as a leading tastemaker, cultural influencer and patron of the arts.

How did you start collecting?
Robbie Antonio: I began collecting a decade ago. New York was a major influencing force that cultivated my experience in culture, art, architecture and design. I took every opportunity of free time to visit museums and galleries.

What was the first piece of artwork you purchased and when?
Robbie Antonio: My first piece of artwork was a map piece by Julian Schnabel.

Tell us about Revolution. What was your inspiration for the project? Who are you working with? What should we look forward to?
Robbie Antonio: Each pavilion and home is individually branded by its designer’s personal concept of spatial form and social function. The result is a diverse and global collection of architecturally-innovative, pre-crafted properties, ranging from functional pavilions to modular homes.

My inspiration for the project came from my own passion and experience in art collection. I wanted to make architecture collectible – but at an accessible price point. Revolution preserves the exclusivity of art collection and by introducing prefabricated technology, expands the potential of ownership.

Currently I’m working with some of the world’s top designers and architects, as well as collaborating with brands like Wallpaper* to sign designers.

Throughout 2016, Revolution will continue to debut new designs – both homes and pavilions – at select art fairs.

12 Young Art Collectors to Watch in 2016

by Artnet News

Galleries and auction houses are always searching for emerging art collectors who they can bring into the fold. With the art market boom in recent years, there’s been a proliferation of young international collectors with passion for art, and pocketbooks to back it up.

Below are 12 collectors who have been making names for themselves in the wild and ever-changing world of art.

1. Emma Hall
Emma Hall comes by her love of art honestly—her parents are mega-collectors Andy and Christine Hall, whose appointment-only Vermont art museum, the Hall Art Foundation, features work by Anselm Kiefer, Georg Baselitz, and Joseph Beuys.

Hall got her start in the art world working at Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Haunch of Venison and now manages special projects and communications at the family museum. She’s also passionate about painting. “I like to feel the artist’s presence in the work. I like to feel color and emotion in art,” she told Artinfo in 2012.

2. Robbie Antonio
Real estate developer Robbie Antonio has filled his Manila home with a rapidly ballooning art collection filled with the likes of Damien Hirst, Francis Bacon, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. He’s been called “the biggest collector in the Philippines” by Larry’s List, refers to Marina Abramović as a pal, and hopes to surpass Peter Brant in portrait commissions from blue-chip artists.

“You see Peter Brant do this for Stephanie Seymour. [B]ut I do it for myself! I want to surpass that,” he told Vanity Fair in 2013.

3. Fabiola Beracasa Beckman
Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, whose mother is Hearst publishing heiress Victoria Hearst, is a film producer, philanthropist, and creative director/co-owner of the Hole gallery, Kathy Grayson’s hip Bowery outfit. She also sits on the board of the Art Production Fund.

Needless to say, Beracasa also has an impressive art collection, which boasts names like Matthew Stone, Genesis P-Orridge, Rob Pruitt, and Aurel Schmidt.

4. Aarti Lohia
Indian-born, Singapore-based Aarti Lohia has been collecting art for the past five years, assembling a trove of work by blue-chip Indian artists like Bharti Kher, M.F. Husain, Subodh Gupta, and Dayanita Singh, in addition to a growing number of artists based in Singapore and elsewhere.

“I look for imagination and inventiveness and am often drawn to pieces that have an overwhelming sense of memory—both visual and tactile,” she told the Straits Times.

5. Mohammed Afkhami
Iranian-born financier and art lover Mohammed Afkhami, who has been collecting Middle Eastern contemporary art for over a decade, has been identified many times over as one of the Middle East’s major players.

“[A] friend of mine called me up and said, ‘Look, there’s a great Iranian art scene flourishing. Come and have a look at some of these galleries.’ So I went with him, and he took me to this gallery. And I bought my first pieces,” he told Ibraaz. “I mean these were pieces that were $300, $400, or $500. And in the West, a canvas costs much more than that. And I brought the pieces back, and I started getting a little bit into it.”

6. Daniela Hinrichs
Daniela Hinrichs, a German curator, dealer, entrepreneur, and founder of online commerce platform DEAR Photography, has a keen eye for all things related to film.

Hinrichs designed the platform with the hope of inspiring first-time collectors to take the plunge. “Don’t let yourself become embroiled in discussions about what art is and isn’t. Buy the artwork you still love even after you’ve looked at it for the 100th time,” she advises on her site.

7. Amar’e Stoudemire
Amar’e Stoudemire may be best known for his skills on the basketball court, but he’s made it clear that he’s also committed to making a name for himself as a “legit and serious” art collector.

Stoudemire, who was spotted around this year’s Art Basel in Miami Beach festivities, owns work by collector staples like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, as well as Rob Pruitt, Retna, and Hebru Brantley.

8. Michael Xufu Huang
Michael Huang, a Beijing-born collector and founder of non-profit museum M WOODS, is actually still a student at the University of Pennsylvania, which makes his regular pilgrimages to New York from museum and gallery openings relatively easy.

“I started collecting when I was sixteen,” he told Linda Yablonsky at Artforum.

9. Tiffany Zabludowicz
Tiffany Zabludowicz is another college student who also started collecting at 16—though with the last name Zabludowicz, no one is too surprised.

She has quickly made a name for herself in the art world as not just a well-heeled collector, but also a curator, erstwhile MoMA PS1 intern, and occasional Artspace columnist.

10. Sharmin Parameswaran
Malaysian-born curator Sharmin Parameswaran has been dubbed “one of the most eagerly watched art curators in the country” by local publication Women’s Weekly.

She’s following in the footsteps of her collector father, Dato N. Parameswaran, the former Malaysian ambassador to Vietnam. In 2012, she launched Interpr8 art space, an exhibition space in Kuala Lumpur featuring a large collection of Malaysian and Southeast Asian art.

11 & 12. Patrick and Lindsey Collins
Patrick Collins, CEO of Texas-based Cortez Resources, and his wife Lindsey began buying art several years ago with a painting by Ryan McGinness, and now have an extensive collection featuring Tom Burr, Jill Magid, Dan Finsel, and Pedro Reyes.

“We really care about the artists and the relationships we’ve made—and helping people of our generation realize what they want to do in terms of their work,” Patrick told D magazine in 2012.

Prefab luxury in amazing pavilions

Zaha Hadid, Sou Fujimoto and other big names sign the projects

by MARIANA KINDLE, CASA Vogue

The Japanese design office Muji was a pioneer in associating luxury with prefabricated structures. Robbie Antonio then launched the Revolution PreCraft project , which brings together a set of prefabricated pavilions designed by 30 renowned designers and architects, including Zaha Hadid , Sou Fujimoto , Daniel Libeskind and Gluckman Tang.

Its objective is to democratize the design of prefabricated structures. Some of the projects have already been built and presented at exhibitions, others are still in 3D, as future promises. See here a selection of products from the Revolution Precraft line.

CHECK IT OUT: The architecture of the last 40 years

David Salle + Aldo Andreoli Studio (AA Studio) – Art House in the Desert

“Our idea was to make a sort of house-studio for an artist (me) and his family that could be easily set up in a location in the West Texas desert There are few obstructions, as the house was designed to ensure maximum visibility of the surroundings when you are inside.With its areas, the work accommodates different activities: writing, painting, outdoor moments and social gatherings.

Prefabricated pavilions (Photo: Revolution PreCraft / disclosure)

Estudio Campana – Installation Bamboo

“We focused on a simple structure with a basic form. We chose to use bamboo in its pure and natural form because it is a light material and very present in Brazilian culture. The installation results in a portable, sensitive piece of furniture and flexible”.

Sou Fujimoto – Infinite Ring

“Our project proposes an investigation into the ergonomics of being in private and public environments. The pavilion takes the concept of predefined spaces and wraps them around a ring, creating a continuous band of habitable spaces. The entire ring is then rotated, generating infinite configurations of spaces and infinite ways to sit, climb or lie down. The result is spatial configurations much richer than the sum of their parts”.

Sou Fujimoto – Esférica Greenhouse

“By transporting the user to an intimate world, where only he and his plants exist, the Spherical Greenhouse intends to investigate our relationship with plants. The pavilion built as a sphere full of circles evokes the idea of having a cosmos in your garden.

The space inside the sphere is flexible and can be arranged according to each one’s taste. The user shares inhabits the same space as the plants: seats become vases for plants and vases become seats for people .”

Tom Dixon – BLOCK

“Inspired by themes ranging from science fiction to Polynesian architecture, BLOCK explores adaptable ways of living, working or playing. For us, spaces intended for such activities can be built on any terrain, with multiple configurations of shelter, from a simple kit of parts. The hard metallic exterior hides a smooth interior, with an all-cork finish”.

Zaha Hadid – VOLU Refectory Pavilion

“Defined by sophisticated digital processes, the structure was developed in such a way that its components are curved to the maximum. This allows the development of comprehensive projects in a complex and expressive way, through the bending of flat sheet materials , in a relatively simple process, which generates almost no waste of material”.
