point92

Point 92’s latest edition, is a white armadillo, the gucci bag or however we wish to name it. but it has a large hole in it, this interconnecting void that offers lush greenery and landscaped courtyards that slowly climb around the corner of the building is the green bit, the part that makes it sustainable. These are actually break out areas , they need to be planted with big trees, none of that shrubby stuff. once organised, they can be used as proper shaded from the hot sun, nice ‘dining is possible’ roof terraces. From here we let our brilliant engineers design m/e systems to bring in lots and lots of fresh air for a naturally ventilated atmospheric condition. The ‘hole’ is made large enough to be seen from afar, we think at night it can be lit by a number of different ways to evoke yet another iconic conceptual work. an armadillo with a heart? or the gucci bag unzipped.

on design

"Design may indeed be complex, but I could not yet imagine it to be complicated...A work can be torturously complex, extravagant, excessively vulgar even…or it can be so simple and plain, almost to the point where it is devoid of any embellishment or decoration, I wouldn’t have an issue with either, but when it is neither that it is considered utterly mundane and ugly."

on architecture

Yet there is still a little problem I have to solve in my head, and that is that I think architecture is taking a bit too long to becoming like what good art is, generative and always assuming an emotive role. We have yet to make it possible for us to connect to our buildings as easily as we do with a work of art or a piece of music, or things we adore, like our children or our books.
