EXP 3 - MASH UP WITH THEORY

Theory : Transform, Separable, Disturbance


Known as Lajkó to his friends, Marcel Lajos Breuer (21 May 1902 – 1 July 1981) helped define the work of Elemental. Puigjaner is a cofounder of MAIO Studio, which has executed several design projects, including furniture, interior spaces, and urban planning. Beginning as a furniture designer at the height of Bauhaus, Puigjaner notes that this typology is "deeply understood as a tool for social transformations," and through her investigation, she hopes to apply new thinking to the housing dilemmas of today. Instead, the office has made a reputation on what is called “incremental housing,” building hundreds of two-story, two-bedroom homes with roofs, kitchens and bathrooms, each with an unfinished second half, left indeterminate in order to keep costs low. These ideas reached a height with his "bi-nuclear" archetype of separate night and day wings divided by an entrance hall, all underneath a centrally drained "butterfly" roof.
