Romanian architect Corvin Cristian has designed the office interior for Headvertising, an advertising agency in Bucharest, Romania. In the old Stock Exchange building, the shipping case themed furniture acts as storage, dividing walls, young dynamic company statement and reverence on the genius loci. The meeting room has the proportions of a shipping container. The chesterfields and the oversized lamps bring a homey feeling to the otherwise austere design. MORE…

Piran_5

The old medieval town of Piran with its narrow streets and tightly packed houses reigns already for centuries over the bay of Piran. Maritime trade and the trade with the hinterland, salt pans and the ideal climate ensured wealth and power to Piran. Elder scientists support the supposition that the origin of the name Piran could derive from the Celtic word bior-dun, supposed to mean a settlement on the hill, while younger generation advocates the explanation of the Greek word pyr – fire, as the original settlement was primarily used as a lighthouse for vessels sailing to nearby Greek colony Aegida on the site of today town Koper.

The series of buildings made in the more that ten-year-old career of Graphisoft Park faithfully mirror the change in the requirements of the commissioner or the tenant of office buildings.

Wood is the materia prima, the basic element or primary material, caught in a form, a shape. It is the bearer of some type of archetype wisdom which reminds us that man is part of nature and that we should learn how to observe it and learn from it. If wood is the materia prima, the primary material, then a wooden product that features designer craftsmanship can be called the materia secunda, or crafted material. The relationship between them generates an experience of harmonious pulsation which calms us, providing us with a sensation of warmth, safety and beauty.
