From Eliinbar’s Sketchbook 2014– Rem Koolhaas and SANAA Typology of  “Shifted Buildings”

   This post is the second

In a series of posts, I call “In my backyard“

In which I present for your review, buildings that I found “in my backyard” and photographed them for you.

All buildings are within 60 km from home

The choice to photograph these buildings was not random

They reminded me of forgotten posts

For you to judge

In 2010 and later in 2014 I published posts that presented a relatively new trend for that period-  “Shifted Buildings“

 Here is a sketch from my Sketch book

which explains the morphological characteristics of shifted buildings

What do Rem koolhaas  and SANAA have to say?

This is how Rem koolhaas describes the main configuration of the De Rotterdam complex: “a building that consists of separate volumes that were slightly shifted vis-a-vis each other”

From: DEZEEN

 

And this is SANAA’s description for the museum in New York: “We knew we could not maximize the entire site with solid architecture, we had to reduce the buildings mass somehow to create space between it and the perimeter. The solution of the shifted boxes arrived quickly”.
