House 4x— | Mauro Turin
Invited architecture competition. 2nd Prize St-Sulpice / Switzerland / 2011
5
The house 4x— solves three types of relations, with itself, with the lateral forest and with the frontal lake, by a centrifugal rotation of some horizontal pieces wich move vertically ones to the others, at the time that, counterbalancing themselves, they balance each other mutually.
The horizontal pieces are crossed by others in vertical that support them, without managing to balance them. The balance is reached multiplying these pieces, in a luck of descending spiral that come up to the ground, so that the following sequence of pieces supports the precedent sequence in an act of four phases.
