THE ACCOUNTS

These Accounts Document A Collection Of Inspiring Things For/from My Thesis (September 2009-April 2010). If you type "thesis idea" in the search engine, you'll get the gist of what I worked on! You can also check out my personal blog - bjornsrandoms.tumblr.com
VILLANUEVA’S PUBLIC LIBRARY Materials as political agents Each of these volumes is built in separate techniques and materials, one in stone gabions (taken under permission from a nearby river) and the other one in pine wood (taken from an ecologically controlled planted forest). In the middle, five metallic white lattice boxes group the program, allowing the air to run though and also creating an open atmosphere where you can see both the wood and the stone. The final outside image renders a monumental project given its scale in the context, but a the same time a down-to-earth sort-of craftsmanship result, an hommage to local made-by-hand objects for the daily life , in short, a minimal tropicallized modern building built for/out of the site. via www.archdaily.com
