All the different pipes and networks have been left visible to be easily and rapidly changeable in the future. This project showcases the agency’s approach. It is the result of thoughtful mechanisms and parameters, chosen and negotiated by and with a project team. It was drawn gradually, spontaneously, in motion as smooth as automatic writing. It is neither the result of a drawing nor the result of architectural inspiration. Continue reading Bétillon & Freyermuth . crypto

In 2017, when we were contacted for our first housing competition, we responded positively, though with many preconceptions about real estate development and its architectural quality. We believed we could do better than others. The reality check was painful. We found ourselves overwhelmed by the constraints, norms, regulations, and economics of such projects.

The office claims no radicality in his work. The radicality asks for a strength of persuasion that we do not pretend to have. We do not have this talent. Our experience showed us that we do not go to the end of our projects if we persist in a too radical approach, especially with a private clientele. Therefore, with this type of customers, projects rarely go to the end. We could say that we are rather opportunists and analysts. We try to figure out where to put our energy.

In a text written in 2001 entitled The Default Aesthetic,Vanilla flavored beauty, the artist Etienne Cliquet, defines the bases of a new aesthetic appeared on the Internet of the relation between man and machine. It shows itself in the form of oldfashioned, simple interfaces, result of a collaboration man / computer in which the design is totally absent. Indeed, the established dialogue can be only pragmatic, the machine lacking any shape of sensibility. Continue reading Betillon & Freyermuth
