SCAPE EXPO 2000  

Designed by Barefoot Design

Hannover, Germany (2000)

“Designed as a multilayered perception space which enabled physical and virtual experiences at the same time: In several lounges with different themes visitors could alter their surroundings atmospherically using interactive installations.

The design of both the real and the virtual architecture was developed from the conceptional approach of ‘genetic architecture’ which achieved its first realization in this project. The organically shaped, textile structures were designed with reference to computer simulated growth processes. They symbolize the increasing convergence of biology and technology.” –  World-Architects

Corberó house, Xaviér Corberó, 1968-2017

There are many similarities between Corbero’s sprawling 40-year labour-of-love, and Ricardo Bofill’s reclaimed factory La Fabrica. Both look as if they’ve emerged from a Giorgio de Chirico painting, and both were gradually shaped into distinctive homes and studio spaces over the course of each architect’s life.

In the last couple of years, the properties have become popular as locations for print, film, and television. Both were used in the Emma Roberts- starring fantasy thriller PARADISE HILLS (2019), but the film’s filter-heavy fairy tale aesthetic doesn’t really do justice to their genuine otherworldliness.  For the best way to explore each, I’d recommend a couple of lovely short films by NOWNESS: IN RESIDENCE: RICARDO BOFILL (2014), and IN RESIDENCE: XAVIER CORBERO (2015). These pre-date the current fashionability of the buildings’ minimalist, arched forms, and look beyond them - to the way the two architects each sculpted a unique home which expressed their lives and artistic visions.
