The Raybould House is located on a partially wooded lot in
that there are several existing structures: a barn, a swimming pool, and a
traditional "saltbox" type house, to which this project will be connected.
new house is the result of the double procedure of 'mapping of
"shared quotes" and "chimera" developed by Kolatan & McDonald.
The R House is conceived as a hybrid in the form of a chimera between the
logic of the existing architecture and that of the surrounding landscape. The
lines and the outlines of the site and the irregular contours of the
section inform each other. The characteristics of the land, "co-
"cited" in the shape of the house, are, on the other hand, transformed by
the addition of parts of the molds used to build it. The
architects have opted for a concrete panel system over

THREE HOUSES ON PLANETVEIEN


A small development of ten houses was designed on the hillside of
Vettakollen with views towards the Oslo fjord valley, of which only
three were built in 1955, two of which as their own homes
and the third for the landowner. The group is
structured as a set of three cubic volumes of two floors,
interconnected by the service areas of a single plant. The
the set is designed from a very regular square modulation and
restricted to 3.60 by 3.60 meters. On this compositional base, a very light structure is arranged around the perimeter.

interior distribution. Essentially, these houses were conceived
as a place where one could both work and perform

how to live in an environment as hostile as loved; a
territory that forces them to take cover for a large part of
vital time.

OLIVETTI TRAINING CENTER


The project commissioned by Olivetti was the expansion of a
Edwardian mansion located in the middle of a lush estate
in the south of England. Stirling chose for his project a
definitely technological appearance. The plant is
relatively simple and consists of two wings placed
obliquely in the glade of the forest. These wings are articulated
through a common space that extends like a tube of
glass until connecting
with the old mansion.
In the shelving corner, there is a square space that can
divide into several rooms using panels that descend from the
cross-shaped cover. The usual themes of picturesque composition and
the glass and metal skins appear here attached to a construction system
radically novel. With this building, Stirling began a path of
technological expressiveness that was going to have many followers in its country.

THEATER OF THE WORLD


The Theatre of the World was designed for the Biennial
from Venice from 1979-1980. The idea was to evoke the
floating theaters, so characteristic of the city
and its carnivals. The form of the theater is given
for the sum of pure elements: a
square parallelepiped of the central stage,
with two attached staircases and a
octagon as a finish. He structured his work in

all the details that will resonate with the Serenísima, including the metallic sphere that crowns the

a simplified architectural element recurring in their designs that grants them a
feeling of nostalgia.

The idea of the proposal is a network of cities that move like
insects, until the residents find a place they want

NAGAKIN CAPSULE TOWER


The Nagakin Capsule Tower is the first building
built in 1972, based on the idea of the
capsule habitats. The capsules are designed as
modules that cover basic needs of
a compartment. They are conceived as a piece
economic that will be built in a factory and
transported to the building site for
to be inserted on site, so they must be
easily transportable and lightweight. Given that they
foresees an approximate duration of the capsules of
twenty years at most, these must also

basically consists of towers or axes

the base of the building and the towers were built with
a rigid structure of steel and concrete
armed, leaving the lighter materials for
the construction of the capsules.
