THE WATERFRONT

AART architects

The 19,500-m2 residential complex has been designed as a sculptural, homogeneous entity of built structures nestling very closely together and creating a myriad of passages and courtyards. The form and expression of the Waterfront drew inspiration from the mountains and landscape surrounding Stavanger, while the complex reflects the scale of the city and accommodates the wishes and requirements of the individual residents.

MAISON D'EDUCATION DE LA LEGION D'HONNEUR

Belus & Hénocq Architectes

In the heart of the landmarked park of the Maison d’Education de la Légion d’Honneur, aligned with the former canal now filled in, the project takes the form of a bayonet grafted onto the gable awaiting an unfinished building. This composition makes it possible for each wing to have a particular relation with the site. The East wing signals the presence of the building in the perspective of the park while the West wing is turned toward the world outside.

Timber Revolution

Timber has many advantages, but I think the biggest is speed. Timber is lightweight and with computer fabrication it can now be machined to incredibly tight tolerances. This makes it ideal for prefabrication and rapid assembly.
