Zusammenfassung: | Natural, upcycled and economical materials in buildings by Ecuadorian firm Al Borde. "Less Is All" is the motto of Ecuadorian architecture firm Al Borde-founded in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena, David Barragán, Marialuisa Borja and Estevan Benavides. Naming Al Borde one of the top 100 architecture firms in the world in 2019, the editors of Domus wrote: "Convinced that the strength of an architectural project lies in the later autonomy of its users, Al Borde's design and decision-making process rely on the involvement of the community in all phases of planning and construction, and the systematic exploration of the local context." The materials they use and the projects they adopt reflect the state of a globalized Ecuador. For example, for their House of the Flying Beds Al Borde refurbished an 18th-century family house by restoring the rammed earth walls, installing tire rubber and recycled glass on the roof and suspending beds above the open-plan, ground-floor living area with eucalyptus trusses, thus maintaining the form of the house but turning the interior into something indubitably modern "Less Is Universe" is the motto of Ecuadorian architecture firm Al Borde -founded in Quito in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena (Quito, 1977), David Barragán (Quito, 1981), Marialuisa Borja (Quito, 1984) and Esteban Benavides (Quito, 1985). Considered one of the top 100 architecture firms in the world , their sustainable ecologically-friendly projects use natural (eucalyptus trusses, etc,), recycled (tire rubber and recycled glass) and economical materials to construct open-spaces in ground-floor living areas. "The architecture of Al Borde is a manifesto for collective construction. Making use of low-cost, recycled and found materials is part of their radical approach. Exact measurements and detailed plans don't matter when it comes to fine-tuning the build with integrity, patches, perforations, additions and so on. There are no outer membranes or finishes; all the materials are exposed as what they are. It's a direct and honest architecture."-Page 8 |

"Less Is All" is the motto of Ecuadorian architecture firm Al Borde-founded in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena, David Barragán, Marialuisa Borja and Estevan Benavides. Naming Al Borde one of the top 100 architecture firms in the world in 2019, the editors of Domus wrote: "Convinced that the strength of an architectural project lies in the later autonomy of its users, Al Borde's design and decision-making process rely on the involvement of the community in all phases of planning and construction, and the systematic exploration of the local context." The materials they use and the projects they adopt reflect the state of a globalized Ecuador. For example, for their House of the Flying Beds Al Borde refurbished an 18th-century family house by restoring the rammed earth walls, installing tire rubber and recycled glass on the roof and suspending beds above the open-plan, ground-floor living area with eucalyptus trusses, thus maintaining the form of the house but turning the interior into something indubitably modern "Less Is Universe" is the motto of Ecuadorian architecture firm Al Borde -founded in Quito in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena (Quito, 1977), David Barragán (Quito, 1981), Marialuisa Borja (Quito, 1984) and Esteban Benavides (Quito, 1985). Considered one of the top 100 architecture firms in the world , their sustainable ecologically-friendly projects use natural (eucalyptus trusses, etc,), recycled (tire rubber and recycled glass) and economical materials to construct open-spaces in ground-floor living areas. "The architecture of Al Borde is a manifesto for collective construction. Making use of low-cost, recycled and found materials is part of their radical approach. Exact measurements and detailed plans don't matter when it comes to fine-tuning the build with integrity, patches, perforations, additions and so on. There are no outer membranes or finishes; all the materials are exposed as what they are. It's a direct and honest architecture."-Page 8 Al Borde Firma (DE-588)1226911676 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 2007-2019 gnd rswk-swf Wohnungsbau (DE-588)4066772-8 gnd rswk-swf Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 gnd rswk-swf Bauökologie (DE-588)4069183-4 gnd rswk-swf Leichtbau (DE-588)4035165-8 gnd rswk-swf Erdbebensicherheit (DE-588)4113456-4 gnd rswk-swf Ecuador (DE-588)4129321-6 gnd rswk-swf Al Borde (Firm) Architecture, Domestic / Ecuador / Designs and plans Architecture, Modern / 21st century / Designs and plans Buildings / Remodeling for other use Sustainable architecture Architecture, Domestic Architecture, Modern Ecuador 2000-2099 Architectural drawings Catalogs (DE-588)4145395-5 Bildband gnd-content Al Borde Firma (DE-588)1226911676 b Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 s Wohnungsbau (DE-588)4066772-8 s Geschichte 2007-2019 z DE-604 Ecuador (DE-588)4129321-6 g Erdbebensicherheit (DE-588)4113456-4 s Leichtbau (DE-588)4035165-8 s Bauökologie (DE-588)4069183-4 s Griborio, Andrea edt wst Tcherkassky, Céline wst |
