Lago Maggiore - round plunge pool...

Another variation with round plunge pool in front of the villa...

Lago Maggiore - more details...

 We added the pool. And also few details - openings, windows, partition glass wall.
I still don't like the combination of this form of the house and pool.
But... I think this form is best I've created for this project and, for another things, I want a pool for the house...

Lago Maggiore - few changes in basement...

 Just few changes in basement... maybe they are not visible enough for first look.
Now left wing of basement has front inclined face and we added spiral stairs.

ArchMoscow 2011 final assembling

Final assembling at the exhibition area. We are very care about visitors behavior...

Everybody tries touch this model:)))...

By the way, you can see few suspenders above the structure... actually this is reinforcement of these partition-walls, these suspenders NOT belongs to our model.

Our model is completely cantilevered and has only one joint with the wall for each part.

Of course, we tested this structure before... and we've seen it is strong enough!

Arch Moscow 2011 run-up the model part 2

Second composition we have tried absolutely free form...
Chaotic structure wich has two opposite movements, like two waves.

Arch Moscow 2011 run-up the model

Yesterday we erected first part of the model for Arch Moscow 2011,

annual architectural exhibition in Moscow, Russia.

But few days ago we have started reserch with something very simple.

Lago Maggiore model 02 support study 03...

 Most simple support structure...
Only basic idea about few streams flowing down the mountain play а role in creation of the image.
Also the idea is viewable enough from the bottom...

Lago Maggiore model 02 support study 02...

 This variation has onle three legs as a supporting struucture.
It means the house itself has only one level...
I still like metal as a cladding for this building... We can build wooden structure behind the metal wraping. Cheaper and faster I guess...

Lago Maggiore model 02 support study 01...

 Some wrong intersections are inside the structure.... This model is still in progress.
In this case support structure works as the underground level...

Zaha Hadid MAXXI museum details...

This is second time I visited this site. Mostly I was attracted by details... Small, sometimes invisible things but important for real construction. My external overview describes few level-top professional solutions for compression joints. It is always important for such a big concrete building.
Two pictures below are just to refresh a look.
