Murphy’s Law, right? The thing is, since technology moves so fast, chances are you’re using slow and/or outdated hardware to build and render your models. Of course, those software crashes always get you when a client needs to see your work. And yet, when you tell the bosses you need better hardware, or updated software, they often scoff and lecture you about the costs. Perhaps one day they’ll understand the struggle of the production staff, but it seems like for now, not so much. So, good luck at the office today, hopefully, everything will work.

Have you had similar experiences fighting with the outdated technology in your office? Tell us about it for our new book project, Architects, LOL.

From the architect. Between city and park, the university area weaves, student life awakens … Between architecture and landscape structures – all buildings were made in around ten years and they are all “signées” – the last empty site, is dedicated to students, north / east, open to the park, a “maison”

A “maison” for association’s offices and other leisure areas. A house that, at the intersection of mutually perpendicular axes of the park, could not escape the strict morphology of the site, but could however claim to be the focus of the “campus”.

Radical in its implementation and in its volume, it chooses to make a difference. It becomes a landmark. Claims the status of “madness” nestled in the park, coppery red monolith, lodge also hyperfunctional.

From an “architectural object” in distant vision, to a “rational architecture” in short vision, there is a world of details and reasoning…

Details, to wedge with a required accuracy the “carpenter’s nails” in weathering steel and perforations that serve as double skin.
