Archident

Chair design, TU Delft!

Three advices by Wolf Prix :

1. if you only think in architectural terms, only architecture will come out.
2. it’s a quote (again from bob dylan), ‘don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters’.
3. ‘you don’t need the weatherman to know how the wind blows’.

‘We didn’t know what to draw on the elevation, so we just drew X’s over the facade because we hated the facade. But then we began to like the X’s ~ because the X (makes large X gesture) means love (hugs himself). And I love this building …’

MVRDV, lack of inspiration?

A while ago I founded this amazing architecture timeline, but it was missing some important architects. A few Pritzker prize winners were missing and other influence architects like Wolf Prix. So I added them myself!

Which architects are still missing?

This is a project at the ”Technische Universiteit of Delft”, here I study architecture, and follow a studio called House of the future.

In the future cities will grow more and more and there will be less green ! As we said:
” More people, more city, less green ”

We answered this statement with :
” More people, more city, more green ”

When their is less space in the city, you need to find in innovative way to build. So we chose to build on the existing buildings. Here we place a new green, lightweight housing typology!

Those are concept sketches and a visualisation!
