What he wanted was described as a house that “provides the least privacy so that the family members are not secluded from one another, a house that gives everyone the freedom to have individual activities in a shared atmosphere, in the middle of a unified family”. After reading his fax, I knew that I should take up this challenge. The site of the house sits by a river and is surrounded by fields with greenhouses here and there. The external walls made of two sheets of corrugated fiber-reinforced plastics and the inner walls made of a nylon fabric are both mounted on wooden stud frames and sit in parallel. In between are attached clear plastic bags, carefully stuffed with strings of foamed polyethylene for insulation purpose. SBA_Nine Square Grid House.

For example, it makes possible a simpler and less noisy assembly process on site, avoids condensation by adding urethane-foam insulation during production process, and eliminates annoying vibration. The spatial composition combines the systems of two walls and a Universal Floor. A large square floor space, 10.4 meters to a side, can be partitioned by full-height sliding doors into nine square areas. These sliding doors allow a variety of spatial arrangements, adjustable to accommodate seasonal or functional needs. これまで開発してきた「家具の家」のシステムを木製フレームに替わってスチール材で構成している。 SBA_Curtain Wall House.

It is open to the outdoors and utilizes contemporary materials in new interpretations of traditional Japanese styles. Wide deck spaces are attached to the east and south sides of the second-floor living room and tent-like curtains are hung on the outer facade between the second and third floors. Interior conditons are controlled by opening and closing this Japanese-style "curtain wall". In winter, a set of glazed doors (in combination with the curtain) can completely enclose the house for insulation and privacy. This thin membrane takes the place of shoji and sudare screens, and fusuma doors that appear in the traditional Japanese house. 施主がこれまで続けてきた古い日本家屋の下町的でおおらかな生活を、現代的素材を用いて継承しようとしている。 STEVEN HOLL ARCHITECTS.

The latest residence in question is the so-called "push-button paradise" at Thunderbird Country Club, designed in 1955 by Welton Becket for power-tool magnate Robert McCulloch.

Introducción 1a. Aproximación a la obra de Prouvé Una vez conocedor de la postura del arquitecto, al remontarme hacia atrás y hacia adelante en el tiempo, al considerar obras suyas de distintos usos y funciones, pude comprobar que existía una fuerte correlación entre ellas, y que la aproximación adoptada a la casa de Jean Prouvé me permitía analizarla separadamente de las demás y, a la vez, enlazar muchas de las que de otra manera no parecían tener relación.
