A large “floating” covering, made of steel mesh and corrugated translucent plastic, is hung from the mountain side via a network of cables and hangs freely from any of the adjacent historical buildings. Thousands of rocks are placed on the canopy, which filters the light to the ruins below, provides the weight to stabilize the canopy from shear forces, and denotes the site’s history of frequent landslides. <a href="http://www.designboom.com/architecture/savioz-fabrizzi-architectes-couverture-ruine-archeologique/">Via</a>, photos (C) <a href="http://www.jantscher.ch/de/projekte.cfm?pid=G3M8B334&command=details&id2=219">Thomas Jantscher</a>. </p>http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50840517436http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50840517436Sun, 19 May 2013 15:00:29 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/P6G9wFr0h5w?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>No a la privatización de la Univesidad a modo ETSAM SHAKE, El Harlem Shake en la cafetería de Arquitectura</p>http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50826860875http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50826860875Sun, 19 May 2013 12:00:16 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6063f3e8154d7c0e5b261bfde07a2885/tumblr_mmvrqmBZnc1rsd388o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4757a7e8665c05590bf6431ab6ed5701/tumblr_mmvrqmBZnc1rsd388o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8e5a658165bb38fec662bf70b6008bbb/tumblr_mmvrqmBZnc1rsd388o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7ce95a09d79c1d1d29b63addd1cc2eeb/tumblr_mmvrqmBZnc1rsd388o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.thefoxisblack.com/2013/05/15/dozens-of-windows-in-beirut-and-another-into-the-internet/">DOZENS OF WINDOWS IN BEIRUT</a></p> <p>Have you ever gotten excited about a fenestration pattern?

Parade 7, 2012<br/>Context: ECAL, 2012</p> <p><span>The collection<strong> Thalie</strong> is based on a dialogue between an industrial process and an artisanal finalization. It is composed of a plate, a fruit bowl and a bread basket.</span></p> <p><span>Inspired by handcrafts like crochet or knitting, I approximated the characteristic of the metal sheet close to a textile quality. The chemical etching allowed to cut a sheet of spring steel in a very precise and fine manner in order to produce my patterns. These two dimensional elements are afterwards manually transformed into volumes with the help of a metal wire. Thus irregular and sensual forms result from a first very mechanic drawing.</span></p>http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50657406254http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50657406254Fri, 17 May 2013 12:00:17 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/10a3c238b5c79f92ec830fc99b084bf3/tumblr_mmuamfb0O61qdqlnso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>black & white by the lake shore</p>http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50616978405http://www.elcontexto.net/post/50616978405Thu, 16 May 2013 21:00:29 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/52addd4d694039338f44e803c6c6e738/tumblr_mmwuhedMJo1qat99uo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d9ba7e870e1052a8bec0bebeea1fc0a7/tumblr_mmwuhedMJo1qat99uo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.wespidemeuron.ch/">Wespi de Meuron</a> - <a href="http://www.wespidemeuron.ch/showPage.php?template=opere&id=63">Kü house</a>, Brione 2005.
