The Crime of the “Dirty Puss” (Sale Geuele – Francis Bacon)
The corner remains marginal, allowing the appearance of another identity. Set back within this corner, it remits us another image of ourselves. Understanding this setting back is the start of an introspection – the emerging architectural project becomes the body of an ambivalence between integration and retraction. To avoid the renunciation, the project integrates the notion of being an eye-catcher. The views and their relationships appear as the foundation of the project. They sculpture the basic volume, transform it, the relationship with its environment beomes sublime.

This strategy of the project is neither the one of affirmation, nor the one of effacement: It is the one of the everyday. We find it back in the volumetric expression of the project, comparable of the portraits of Francis Bacon, a dirty puss that is amusing itself.
A “dirty puss” which amuses itself for its hybrid functions.
A “dirty puss” which affirms itself in a body dispersed from daily life.
A “dirty puss” which exults the space it is occupying.

The connection between the write-up and the architectural treatment is very weak. Maybe it could be used for another project.
nice project
the comparison with Bacons portraits is questionable, no?
(by the way it’s gueule)
Beautiful, finally postmodern has been asimilated with no shame in contemporary architects.
Almost paint like! a like this very much.
you´r not very smart are you?
I don’t understand this project…
panudec – yes at last!
Good, solid piece of architekture. Well done, congratulations to the team. I love the result – blend between left and right streetscapes.
This facade remind me Cino Zucchi residential building in la Giudecca, Venice.

it reminds me of a lot of zucchi projects to be honest which is ok … it’s a formula which works. I think it’s a modest project which I respect but I wouldn’t go as far as to say I love it etc. good job though.
very nice colour composition and shape on the corner of the street
Lindo
if the flat was built in anther site,i mean ,not at the special corner of the city ,will be better than it was now.
so,i could not find the feeling through what you wanna do.maybe you wanna make the flat intergrated with the environment.when the imagation becoming reality ,would be a little further than you can control.
somthing wrong with it,the corlor?the windows shape.and whatever……
the problem is that Bekerman is full of it…
he does not understand SH*T of what he is talking
Very .very nice ! Bravo !
