New Studio!

Time for the ol' blog to shift focus once again. No more photos from France or posts about the CivicFriche studio in Paris. Now it's InFlux Studio all the time! Curiously enough, this first post on studio work concerns the study of work by two French architects. Go figure.

I'm beginning to work on the precedent study. Just a start, but the unit plan is coming along and some 3D modeling has been done. Figuring out/dealing with the windows will be interesting, as the typically private areas of the bathroom have been placed in a strip on the facade.






P.S. I find it curious that while the project is described as having "a certain passive quality at its core, while all of the energy, ... is to be found in the facade," the section drawing below, that cuts off the facade and shows the interior core, is really pretty darned energetic. And so far I have not been able to find any elevation drawings, which presumably would support this premise of activating the facade...
