"Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron “reinvent” (??) the barn typology for the Parrish Art Museum…."
~

The final result seems a lot clunkier than the initial drawings and model.( really ? ) (MN note: Photos in my opinion are in general a poor way to access (or judge) architecture… they (photos) can serve a purpose, but photos are very flat…)

nice shimmer!
svanemøllen koblingsstation (facility for the distribution of electricity),
østerbro, copenhagen, denmark 1966-1968.
architect: hans chr. hansen, 1901-1978, working for the copenhagen municipal architects department under f.c.lund, 1896-1984.

KEY NOTE: ”the wood here is neither cladding nor part of the supporting frame. rather, it is the actual shuttering which the concrete walls were cast against, left in place - the process quite literally becoming the architecture. the layers of svanemøllen’s exterior walls are - from the outside - wood shuttering, left in place; tar paper; hard insulation batts; concrete. the inside formwork was dismantled as it played no part in fastening or protecting the insulation.” via SEIER+SEIER - notes.
Highly recommend browsing around SEIER+SEIER - some great features!

This is the thing… a simple idea, well executed is difficult to screw up! Imagine the different qualities of the interior with changing light levels from the outdoors…
