Dear Frank,

another, you add a new element, another
gesture. (...) We wanted a fairly sculptural
and complex result, like a landscape,
intense." (Jacques Herzog)

1641.The Design Museum. "Plain Space" exhibition installation designed by John Pawson.
Dear Nicholas,
"The goal here was to communicate the thinking
and give a sense of the body of work, whilst also
engaging the widest possible audience. Since
engagement is facilitated by first hand experience,
a site-specific, 1:1 installation was conceived as a
key element -the first time anyone had constructed
a building inside the Design Museum"
(John Pawson)

899. Marina Bay by Night
Dear Laurent,
In the center of this picture is the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, topped out with a remarkable cantilevered platform that contains a vanishing edge swimming pool. Moshe Safdie, the architect of this building complex, looked for inspiration in card desks, since the casino is one of the main features of this outstanding resort that also includes a 2,500-room hotel, a convention center, two theaters, a museum, an ice skating rink, seven restaurants, and more than 300 stores.

Querida Benedetta,
Enhorabuena por haber creado este edificio fascinante.
Cuando lo visité recordé un pensamiento de Coderch
sobre la importancia que tiene para un arquitecto el hacer
compatible el progreso con la humanidad que irradian las
viejas construcciones. Este Pabellón evoca no a una
construcción sino a un tipo de artesanía pero igualmente
antigua, humana y de gran utilidad.
Te deseo lo mejor.
R
