Slow House - Diller + Scofidio

‘Our client came to us and said he wanted a house with a view’ - Diller + Scofidio

Diller + Scofidio first became known with their iconic project the ‘Slow House’, built in 1989 for a Japanese art investor as a weekend retreat on the Long Island waterfront. The view was the most important part of the building, prompting them to explore the notion of the picture window and the terminology of real-estate ads. ‘Why is architecture a technology that creates a view?’ Diller recounts. ‘Because it mediates it with a window frame.’ The couple argued that the picture window represents a more advanced technology than the video display. ‘because it strips away the hardware that you have on a TV monitor and leaves only the effect.’

Singapore’s botanical attraction, Gardens By The Bay, features two “Supertrees” — vertical hanging gardens that stand about 50 meters tall and are connected by a walkway. The Gardens formally open in June.

Neat!
