Reiulf Ramstad Architects are showing an exhibition in Paris with an emphasis on new projects with architecture in dialogue with the Norwegian landscape. Common for the projects shown is that they represent the agency’s desire to create an innovative, contemporary and timeless architecture with the landscape as the contextual raw material. The office has recently worked on several challenging assignments in this field, with architecture in landscapes ranging from wild magnificent scenery to cultivated land.
The overall form of the building is the result of both a pragmatic approach and a determination to express the future structure’s volume in terms of “a material that fills the negative” of the site in which it rests.
A wall with curved surfaces was designed to softly wrap around the space on the ground and 1st floor of the existing building of the 18th century. Pierce this wall of the space for sell the cheese on ground floor and the space for eat the cheese on the 1st floor in the existing building, it integrally changes to the space like the cave of the cheese.
This project closely articulates three elements : a base for the cultural center ; the church as a contemporary monument rising on this base ; and the central garden as an outdoor space for contemplation and meditation. The rehabilitation of the building located rue de l’Université and the enhancement of the Palais de l’Alma add finishing touches to the urban design part of the whole project.
Building an elementary school and restructuring a kindergarden not far from the Arc de Triomphe. Offices done in antique style. Environmentally conscious development.
Since the seventeenth century, time of the emergence of literary cafes, the cultural history of Paris has been linked to the alcoves and the counters of its taverns. Places of intense life and intellectual dynamism, the Parisian cafes vibrated with hushed or noisy ambiance, stimulating and often smoky atmospheres generated by their users and also perhaps by an intangible part, more inherent to the place.
Vincent Callebaut Architectures of Paris, France has designed a Floating Ecopolis for Climate Refugees, predicting that by 2100, there will be a large crowd of ecological refugees to occupy the “Lilypad.” According to the principle of Archimedes, the melting of the arctic ice-floe will not change the rising of the water exactly as an ice cube melting in a glass of water does not make its level rise, said Callebaut. However, there are two huge ice reservoirs that are not on the water and whose melting will transfer their volume towards the oceans, leading to their rising. These are the ice caps of Antarctic and Greenland on the one hand, and the continental glaciers on the other. Another reason for the ocean rising, that does not have anything to do with the ice melting is the water dilatation under the effect of the temperature.
