Project Next Gen20 / Architecture + edge technology in Taiwan
For a couple of weeks are the first pictures of the project Next Gen20. A pilot project that brought together 20 leading architects to design 20 homes on the north-east coast of Taiwan. The excuse, offering cutting-edge types of housing for modeling, preserve and enhance the natural and built environment. Among those selected are architects MVRDV, Graft, Kengo Kuma and Julian De Smedt, along with 10 other emerging Taiwanese architects. The list of styles including complex designs and new styles like minimalism to produce modulated bioformas. Many of these projects are united by a common purpose, integrate seamlessly with the environment. The results of these projects are the result of an intense cultural exchange and is expected to mark the trends in housing concepts for the future.
The project NextGen20 Genuine Group was developed as a way to combine different ideas born in the West as in East. Each design seeks to work closely with the best and harmony with the environment.
The draft Kengo Kuma "Aimai" Japanese word that describes a condition or problem unambiguous-looking completely dilute the boundaries between perception and interior-exterior, and the natural-artificial. The house and the nature are mixed with one another.
Julien De Smedt for his part suggested a similar approach, mixing your project with the surrounding hills. In the words of De Smedt "We designed a house that handled the landscape without adding anything to it. A house based on a symbiotic relationship with the context. A house that holds hearings to defend themselves instead of being seen. "
The construction of these 20 projects are expected to commence in July 2008, ending in December 2009.
