The typology of these town villas is related to the two houses by Alfred Roth and Marcel Breuer in the Doldertal (1936) and to the concept of the palazzine as, for example, developed in Rome by Adalberto Libera and Luigi Moretti.
The Werd office building complex was built between 1970 and 1975 by the architects A. F. Sauter and A. Dirler (see also the housing complex in the Sunnige Hof siedlung).
The two similar building volumes ¾comparable to the Tintin detectives “Thomson” and “Thompson”¾ are specified in the design plan. They define a courtyard-like external space that forms the social centre of the complex with a view of Multengut, which gives the complex its name.
The semi-transparent sunscreen, which can alternately be fixed close or rolled up open, uses specially-manufactured membrane (polymer-laminated) fabric printed on both sides with an ultra large plant motif.
The volumes of the individual buildings are staggered, both horizontally and vertically. In this way they react to the sloping topography.
They illustrate the move towards increased density at present occurring in this popular residential district. The issues are therefore integration in the existing context, the grain and the sculptural design of the volumes.
The unique premise situated below Pflugstein, a popular recreational destination above the lake of Zurich, consists of two different zones, one on a higher artificial plateau and the other one on a declining hillside overlooking the lake.
The two housing blocks are part of an overall plan by burkhalter sumi architects. In a reference to the guideline planning for the Sulzerareal in Oberwinterthur the long building volumes are at right angles to Eulachpark.
The site is a 100×45 parallelogram oriented north-south and limiting on the west with a new urban park and on the north, east and south with similar housing blocks, located into a new development in the south of Madrid
These three blocks, bordered on one side by the avenue and on the other by the quay, are part of the large-scale redevelopment of the Katendrecht district in Rotterdam.
The assignment for Antwerp’s Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten (KMSKA) consists of the drawing up of a Master Plan for the extension and restoration of the museum; and this encompasses more than purely physical changes to the building.
Waterschap Breda Building, contemporary architecture in The Netherlands – new offices development design by Claus en Kaan Architecten on the Bouvigne estate.
The principle inspiration for the project is the meeting of the collective and the individual, a characteristic inherent to the dormitory building type.
