Our world is changing. Again. And again. And again. And what about us? We discover and invent, try new things, discard old things, adapt, apply. FRAME.
Change? Just another word for progress. And if you want both, you sometimes need to look beyond the framework. To redefine it. REFRAME.
For this fourth edition of the Finstral magazine, we invited people with innovative ideas from all over Europe to explore new contexts with us—thinking outside the box.
180 pages of inspiration: interviews, essays and opinions on current topics from the vast field of architecture! In other words, Frame and Reframe.
Does a room need a window to be considered a room? No. So is the window the first fixture in a room? The first piece of furniture? Absolutely, says Jonathan Olivares, Senior Vice President of Design at international furniture brand Knoll. A discussion about function and intuition.
How can we maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while the climate outside keeps changing? With these questions in mind we visit the Arquitectura-G practice in Barcelona, we then take a trip into the past to Villa Girasole in Italy - a monumental mechanical house that rotates to follow the sun.
Quality is a matter of definition. That’s why we have requirements, standards and guidelines for all sorts of things – including windows and doors. For over 50 years, the family-run company Finstral has been setting its own standards in quality and diversity. A glimpse into our production facilities.
Time is relative. That much we know. What we don’t know is, how timeless can architecture be? And how durable is a building? Answers, ideas and inspiration from architectural theorists, architects, experts and practitioners.
