Posted in: Uncategorized
This week on Dezeen, Danish architecture studio BIG revealed designs for the expansion of a former supermarket to create a museum in Denmark.
Named Museum for Paper Art, the building is set to be topped with a folded roof that resembles a “single sheet of paper”.
Developed by BIG alongside psaligrapher Bit Vejle, the 2,300-square-metre museum proposal is designed to celebrate the history of paper art in Denmark.
In other architecture news, British studio Fosters + Partners has been appointed by English football club Manchester United to lead the redevelopment of the grounds surrounding its Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, UK.
The proposal will aim to redevelop the site into “a world-class football destination” and is set to be followed by the redevelopment of the stadium itself.
Also this week, we rounded up eight buildings featured in the Outré West exhibition in Oklahoma, which examines the work of the American School of Architecture.
The buildings are situated in the western United States and designed by architects including Bruce Goff and Herb Greene.
In design news, a line of outerwear clothing was created by Jony Ive’s brand LoveFrom for fashion brand Moncler.
The clothing features customisable “shells” that can be changed by the use of a magnetic Duo button.
Other design collaborations featured on Dezeen this week include a trio of whisky bottles wrapped in metallic “brain” cases that designer Philippe Starck envisioned for alcohol brand Mortlach.
