Christmas Installations in Paris

Two prominent Parisian retail facades are getting the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac treatment this month to brighten up the Holiday season. At the second-oldest department store in Paris, Bazaar de l'Hotel de Ville, or better known as the BHV, a funky neon-lit facade will be lit up on November 17, with the help of powerful vocals performed by the 28-year-old, Arkansas-born Beth Ditto of the group Gossip.

Dupli Casa by Jürgen Meyer H
private residence by the Neckar river
Dupli Casa, a private residence by the Neckar river, near the old town of Marbach in South- Western Germany, is a wonderfull example of connection and fluidity. It connects the inside with the outside, up with down, air with ground and - most cleverly - past with present and even future.
From the outside, the three-storey concrete villa looks like a bit like some sort of a fiberglass motorboat job gone funny, yet it also manages to look immensely appealing and intriguing. From some angles, the structure appears to be standing upside down - the lower exterior rim spilling onto the lawn and forming a part of a roof structure, if the building were to stand the other way around. It could have been blown there by the wind; it could be a StarWarsian vehicle frozen in place; it could be just taking off to outer space.
The outdoor swimming pool and the white surface surrounding it seem like a perfect reflection of the house, almost as if the house had been face down on the ground, and when it was lifted off the ground, the process had left an imprint of a swimming pool on the ground and the large window opening in the house.
The views from the inside are amazing, especially from the vast ground-level openings that again, give the sensation of flying, being airborne, weightlessness. Everything is fluid, flowing and smooth.
All of this is very much in keeping with the main inspiration for the house. The new residence follows the footprint of the previous dwelling and its numerous extensions. The idea was to let the 'family archaeology' continue in the new building. It's a house that remembers its beginnings in 1984 yet projects boldly into the future.
Dupli Casa is the work of Jurgen Mayer H., founder and principal of his cross-disciplinary studio. J. Mayer H. Architekten in Berlin. Other team members include Georg Schmidthals, Thorsten Blatter and Simon Takasak, plus Uli Wiesler's architecture studio based in Stuttgart. - via coolhunter

David Chipperfield at the Design Museum
Dezeen podcast: in this podcast for the Design Museum in London architect David Chipperfield talks about an exhibition of his work, which opened at the museum this week.
In the podcast, Chipperfield describes his architectural background and what informs his approach.
Works on show span his early UK commissions up to major recent projects, represented primarily through models and drawings.
The exhibition continues until 31 January.
Photographs are by Luke Hayes.
Here’s some text from the Design Museum:

David Chipperfield – Form Matters
21 October 2009 – 31 January 2010
One of the most important architects working today, David Chipperfield’s architecture uses concrete, brick and wood to create awe, beauty and meaning with an appealing clarity.
His beautifully crafted buildings, whether small scale private houses and shops or large scale public buildings and civic plans urge the user, or the passer by, to enjoy them.
This major exhibition of Chipperfield’s work will span his early UK commissions including the acclaimed River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames, which sits in the wetland meadows subtly poised between the traditional and the modern, as well as the recent Museum of Literature in Marbach, Germany, winner of this year’s Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize for Architecture.
An intense and yet restrained building, it has been described as “a shrine to the soul of a literate nation”. Important public commissions for the new Hepworth Museum in Wakefield and the Turner Contemporary in Margate will also be on display.
