Notable works
edit2009, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
edit2008, Sky is the limit
editTea house, Yang Yang (South Korea) Purpose: Sky Is The Limit is a domestic space sample propulsed 20 meters above the ground, a tea room projected in a state of weightlessness over the troubled horizon. The building's body is nothing more than a fragile skeleton. Its thin arachnoid structure sets under tension a vertical void. A bicephalous head over this fleshless body is composed of two entities. Two captive voids of strictly similar dimensions provide two opposing experiences.
Mobile home video Purpose: H-Box: Mobile home video, is a mobile space designed to display video art for Hermès International. It is composed of modules of high-resistance lightweight materials, easily assembled, disassembled and transported, to travel around the world. Videos specially made for the touring project are updated every year.
2003, One Square Meter House
editOne person dwelling, Hygienapolis Purpose: By reducing living space to its smallest unit, the square meter, this dwelling for one person promotes a critical view of land speculation. Beyond this, it subverts the notions of habitability, adaptability and evolutivity. A body-trap that takes contemporary narcissism to its most absurd, One Square Meter House makes public space the only possible terrain for social interaction.
