treading lightly on the landscape, the building cantilevers out 27 meters to a point 18 meters above the terrain below.
franck bohbot traveled to richard neutra's VDL research house II and documented it, capturing two generations of architectural experimentation.

the micro-hotel room is enclosed by a tiny topography of stepping terraces.
the architects say that the building, and the activity that takes place within it, is meant to transform the way in which buildings are designed, engineered, and built.
another project having so little to do with the significance of the place except for a cliche ‘wave’ form. good grief…
Beautiful, but also concerned about heavy handed security measures coming in to take the fresh edge off it.
couldn’t it just touch the ground on the low side with no rail like an indoor cycle track with less slope?
Lovely, individual. Gives a special mood. thanks!
Nice form; sensual in shape. In harmony with surroundings. Thanks for showing d;-)
interesting!!!… although cannot escape the OMA casa da musica wavy landscape/public square with niches…..
Hey guys, its just the conceptual renderings for a competition.
obviously the safety concerns will be worked out throughout the development of the project.
and rest assured, the codes will most always assure the practical safety (and most of the time, added ugliness), of the built structure.
too many handrails have no place in a competition rendering.
it’s almost like the fashion runway… the practicalities of life kick in once the clothes make it to the stores. in a competition, architects must sell an idea. their cv will prove their capabilities for viable building.
Large holes, one guard/safety rail on one side = Lawyers gong ker-ching to each other while rubbing their hands in glee!
It’s beautiful and a wonderful idea but some aspects will have to change.
Yeah, just practically one could fall into those holes in the evening. Might be better if they grew out of the form rather than cut into it. It’s lovely though.
Pretty dangerous about sitting holes. Nice “wave” however.
Watch out for the 400kph high speed train…splat
