Special previews of Alain de Botton’s revolutionary architecture project
What do Herzog & de Meuron, Sou Fujimoto and MVRDV have in common? Answer: they are just some of the most cutting-edge practices returning to one of the most traditional of architectural elements: the gable.
Recent projects incorporating this 'most typological' of features include Fujimoto's Tokyo Apartment, a three-layered stack of 'gable-shaped forms' and The Balancing Barn, by MVRDV, for Alain de Botton's Living Architecture project.
