位于内华达州拉斯维加斯以西的一个偏远地区,设计要求是以可持续的、环保的方式,尽可能地使用当地的材料,建立与周围环境的直接联系。作为回应,Chenin设计了一个开放的结构,分为三个不同的区域,每一个体量都被精心放置,作为一系列的岩石块来抵御恶劣的阳光和风,同时也提供了周围景观的不间断的视野。 本书通过着茗建筑评论家Aaron Betsky的文字、James Moore McCown的介绍和对建筑师的采访、Stetson Ybarra、Stephen Morgan和Daniel Joseph Chenin的豪华摄影作品、富有启发性的图纸、图表和布局,提供了对这一炒级结构的构思和执行的特权一窥。作为对该地区蕞初定居时建造的堡垒的敬意,该建筑在宁静的风景中孤犭虫地耸立着:真正的现代杰作。
Along the fringe into its tranquility | Set in a remote location to the west of Las Vegas, Nevada, the brief was for a residence that established a direct connection to its surroundings in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly manner using locally-sourced materials as much as possible. In response, Chenin produced an open structure divided into three different zones with each volume carefully placed to be read as a series of rock masses to protect against the harsh sun and wind while also offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. This book provides a privileged glimpse into the conception and execution of this superlative structure with a text by the renowned architectural critic Aaron Betsky, an introduction and interview with the architect by James Moore McCown, sumptuous photography by Stetson Ybarra, Stephen Morgan and Daniel Joseph Chenin, illuminating drawings, diagrams and layouts. An homage to the forts built when the area was first being settled, the building sits resplendently alone in the tranquility of the landscape: truly a modern masterpiece.
