This small scale temporary project underlines and sublimates the intimate character of the Hotel Saint-C�me?s courtyard, emblem of the 18th century architecture of Montpellier. The courtyard becomes a field of experiences, where a spatial kaleidoscope comes out from nowhere to surprise the visitors. The raw material of our intervention is made of cardboard materials. We hijacked 40x40cm packaging boxes that generate by accumulation an extruded portico (computing CAD process). A warm, bright and reflective skin covers the interior walls, creating a contrast with the rough external surface.
it should come as no surprise that photographing architectural spaces with cats and dogs is gaining traction as a trend. Suppose it’s one way to warm up a space without filling it with the owner’s questionable furniture.

The Dekalb Market will be housed in a collection of salvaged shipping containers and include food vendors, work-sell spaces, an incubator farm and a performance venue.
Uses for the space could be, but are not limited to: a farm structure, store, art installation, work-sell space, restaurant, sports and music venue….
Using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper 3-D modeling software to distort a Voronoi diagram, a mathematical sequence that was developed for spatial analysis, Noiz created the wall and floor sculptures that compose Gravity Fields.
Breaking the Retail Design Mold
Design Indaba (“A better world through creativity”) began yesterday in South Africa, and kicking it off was Tel Aviv-born
Dutch-educated Dror Benshetrit of Studio Dror, who unveiled a revelatory innovation called QuaDror.
QuaDror is, at the most basic level, a structural system. It’s a space truss geometry that maintains the strength of a solid cube with only 20% of the volume.
