Dussart Pedron Winery, designed by CRUX arquitectos, is the new space formed by rehabilitating an old structure with numerous former lives. The intervention uses the passing of time like another construction material without hiding the scars. In this ‘territory space,’ the new installations have been placed using easily identifiable materials of the times. The original structure has been revised, acting with each element personally. This intervention represents a layer upon construction, just skimming the surface, like a reversible installation that simultaneously provides a blank page from which to begin again.

Tease me Café by Wallmakers is a renovation of a café with a challenge to design a cramped, area-deficient space flanked by shops on all sides. The perfect answer arose in the form of using cloth as an incongruous partition that gave privacy, became comfortable seating, and was also aesthetically pleasing. The lighting of the café posed the next dilemma as it had to be dramatic yet subtle. The café is a poetic expression of the beauty of free-falling cloth manipulated cleverly to be of use, with an added sculptural quality.

Byg Brewski, designed by Mathew and Ghosh Architects, captures the openness, dramatic scale of spectacle for events, and its ruined character to create the ambiance. A heady mix of enterprise, visual understanding, and who could feel the course of the narrative. The openness of the central area brings people together much like town squares / community village spaces / an oasis– somewhat making notions that are subconsciously felt as familiar. Many materials were recycled from old Mangalore tiles, stones from the site and surrounding including the boulders from the adjoining sites etc.

Figure-Ground, designed by Takuyahosokai, is composed of multiple volumes with the same physical and intimate scale as the surrounding environment. They sought to create a space surrounded by soft and homogeneous indirect light because the program is a hair salon. To obtain natural light at the back of the building, the shape of the building gradually expands from the front to the back, both in plan and elevation. Through the manipulation of form and the interdigitation of volumes, the boundaries between interior and exterior, architecture and context, become blurred.
