Le président du Real Madrid Florentino Pérez a récemment dévoilé le projet gagnant pour le redesign du stade Santiago Bernabeu. Ce dernier, proposé par GMP Arquitectos , L35 et ribas & ribas arquitectes, fait du stade un lieu à part et celui le plus moderne et développé du XXIe siècle. A découvrir dans une série d’images.
A diagonally stacked arrangement of cardboard shoe boxes covers the back wall of this footwear store in Santiago, Chile, by Move Architects (+ slideshow).
Move Architects designed 140 wooden supports with x-shaped profiles and inserted them into corresponding CNC-cut indentations on a large sheet of plywood mounted to the back wall of the shop.
“The X shaped perforations and supports are generated from the store’s name and logo, Bestias XX,” said the architects, explaining that the solution was also the result of a need for lots of accessible storage in a small space.
Shoe boxes can be stacked in a cascading arrangement between the supports and different patterns visible from outside the store can be created by leaving gaps or allowing some boxes to protrude.
“Given the project’s short construction time and it’s restricted budget it we decided to minimise the use of conventional manual labour and instead of what would traditionally be called ‘building’ a store, we decided to ‘manufacture’ the shop,” the architects explained.
Once the panels and supports had been created, the interior was assembled by the clients in 12 hours.
The store also features a plywood counter and metal stools for customers to try on the range of shoes.

Here’s a project description from Move Architects:
Bestias XX
Bestias XX can be summarized in two constrains: quantitative and qualitative. On one hand, 12 sqm has to hold at least 380 shoeboxes, 2 employees and 3 potential customers. On the other hand this quantitative restriction must be the image of the shop.
As a result space restrictions, from the beginning of the design process the project was treated as combined need for storage space and a strong image. Therefore, we decided that the shoeboxes would define the shop image. To achieve this, 140 wooden X’s were built and inserted into six 18 mm plywood sheets over a perforated grill at 45 degree defined by the size of the box (33x13cm).
The plywood sheets are hung from the store’s perimeter walls. Since the store is located in a corner of an urban shopping centre in Santiago, the boxes mounted on the X’s create an exterior façade. The X- shaped perforations and supports are generated from the store’s logo: BESTIAS XX.
Given the project’s short construction time and it restricted budget it was decided to minimise the use of conventional manual labour and instead of what would traditionally be called “building” a store we decided to “manufacture” the shop. The store was “mass-produced” mostly using two types of plywood sheets (one used to obtain the X’s) that were cut using a CNC router, thus reducing the cutting time to one day. The rest was only a matter of assembling and mounting.
From the construction of the 6 panels that contains the perforations and the X’s, the structure was assembled by the clients themselves in 12 hours of uninterrupted work.

Chilean architect Ricardo Torrejón wanted to integrate the garden into this concrete house in Santiago, so he added huge windows at the back and glazed recesses along the front and sides (+ slideshow).
Ricardo Torrejón had originally planned to renovate an existing house on the site, but instead decided to demolish it and start again so that he could direct more views towards a large garden at the rear.
“Despite being uninhabited for almost 20 years, the backyard was luckily well preserved and felt like a forgotten park,” said the architect. “The relationship to the garden, particularly to the existing trees, should be in the foreground.”
The front and sides of the two-storey house are made up of flat concrete surfaces, only interrupted by the slit-like openings that create tiny semi-enclosed courtyards around the edges of the interior.
At the back, the concrete framework is infilled with large glazing panels that provide floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden and swimming pool.
“We thought that architecture should not compete with nature – on the contrary it should enhance its presence, colours and lights,” said Torrejón.
“Architecturally we had to remain neutral and silent in both material and colour in order to let nature play its part,” he added.
The house’s entrance is contained within one of the glazed openings and leads into an open-plan living space that occupies the entire floor.
Two separate doors offer a route out to the garden, while a staircase ascending to the bedrooms is contained at the centre of the plan.

Here’s a project description from the architect:
Casa La Cañada, Santiago, Chile
This house is set on a 1,060 square metre site in the last flat urban area of eastern Santiago before the Andes begin. The plot is 15m wide by 67m length with an existing garden with mature 40 year old trees.
The original house, built back in the 70’s, took no particular advantage of the garden. Despite being uninhabited for almost 20 years the backyard was luckily well preserved and felt like a forgotten park. Instead of remodelling, we decided to build a house from scratch. The relationship to the garden, particularly to the existing trees, should be in the foreground.
We thought that architecture should not compete with nature; on the contrary, it should enhance its presence, colours and lights. Architecturally we had to remain neutral and silent in both material and colour in order to let nature play its part.
The house is a solid monolithic concrete block opened up through carvings instead of windows and openings. Externally, each carving becomes a place itself, some fitting just a single person, others more.
Internally, they are a sort of glazed prisms letting light in and natural ventilation and allowing frontal and diagonal views as well as an internal see-through between contiguous rooms.
The most direct result of this carving operation is that the garden is present everywhere in the house. Even in rooms on the opposite side of the house it is possible to have a glimpse of it.

A herb garden surrounds this glass-fronted spa in Santiago by Chilean studio LAND Arquitectos.
The single-storey building is named Spa Atrapa Árbol, which translates as Catch Tree Spa, because it wraps around a courtyard and tree.
A narrow skylight runs along the ceiling of a corridor connecting the sauna and hot tub rooms with a furnished living room.
The sauna is located on the glazed north side of the building and overlooks an outdoor terrace.
An exposed brick wall lines the rear of the building.
This isn’t the first building we’ve published that wraps around an existing tree – see our recent story about a house cranked around an oak tree.

Here’s some text in Spanish from LAND Arquitectos:
Spa Atrapa Árbol
Trabajamos el modelamiento del lugar en conjunto con el diseño del objeto arquitectónico, de manera de poder llevar el espacio exterior natural hacia el interior de la obra.
Este proyecto se genera desde el paisajismo, como un jardín aterrazado, se pliega desde el comienzo hacia el final del terreno, a través de jardineras escalonadas, escaleras y macetas, rematando en una maceta central, espacio donde existía un antiguo Damasco en el terreno, contenido entre los dos espacios principales del interior del proyecto.
El trabajo de la luz pretende lograr un espacio permeable entre exterior e interior que constate el paso del día, a través de lucarnas y piel vidriada a lo largo de casi la mitad del perímetro del proyecto.
El color del interior Blanco, y muebles en obra de espejo, aportan también reflejos y constatan sombras de la vegetación que rodea al proyecto.
Uno de los muros perimetrales de ladrillo, entra hacia el interior, a modo de conectarse visualmente con el exterior.
Espacialmente también se logra esto, en el espacio de estar, al poder abrirlo en dos de sus caras completamente.
Desde el programa, los dos espacios principales están separados físicamente, pero conectados visual y espacialmente, a través del patio central del Damasco. La lucarna principal atraviesa el proyecto aumentando la percepción del espacio exterior en el interior del proyecto.
