Windows become frames that narrate the space
A home filled with peace, built with a few essential gestures and a palette of materials in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The anthracite-colored windows by Edilpiù take center stage in this visual narrative.
With economic resources often at a minimum, Anne Lacaton and Philippe Vassal are able to make a virtue out of necessity and create minimal but incisive designs, such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (Domus no. 847, April 2002). The exhibition at the AA in London has been conceived as a kind of “spiritual extension” of the two architects – the gallery is filled with sofas where one can sit back and enter, at least in theory, the world of Lacaton & Vassal.
