Architecture – Deconstructivism

June 22, 2022 by Claude Jobin Leave a Comment


Last week while exploring Günter Behnisch it was stated that his predominant style was deconstructivism. The word of course means taking apart, but in reality the style is about breaking down the symmetry of the logical, perhaps expected construction and creating something unexpected. It is the juxtaposition of shapes and volumes.

So far we have explored the following architects who incorporate that style in their practice.


Frank Gehry




Peter Eisenman




Zaha Hadid




Bernard Tschumi




Rem Koolhaas




Daniel Libeskind




Wolf D. Prix – Coop Himmelb(l)au



Names also association with the style, to be explored another day are Mark Wigley and Vladimir Tatlin.

Archictect – Günter Behnisch

June 15, 2022 by Claude Jobin Leave a Comment




Günter Behnisch (1922-2010) was a German architect, born in Lockwitz. His first career led him to be a submarine commander during WW2. He surrendered his submarine and subsequently was a prisoner of war. A fellow prisoner sparked his interest in architecture – there’s a line I shan’t be using again. He studied architecture at the Technical University in Stuttgart. He taught architecture at the Technishce Hochshule Darmstadt. He was a proponent of deconstructivism. Deconstructivism in architecture means the breaking apart of a shape – perhaps next week’s exploration. He is Stefan Behrish‘s father.

Thanks!

For being customizable! Julie

Claude and Molly are truly amazing!

I live very far out of town and needed an Ottawa real estate agent after my father died.
I picked them after looking online.

Well I picked the right ones! They were and are extraordinary. Because I live so far away our family needs for cleaning the house out and getting it ready to sell were huge, and to me, insurmountable.

I couldn't have done it without them, and to top this off, they are friendly and just great people. Thank you so much Claude and Molly.

All the best, Rachel


You’re fantastic!

Allan

A huge Thank YOU

You did a yeoman's service with helping us find and buy our house.
We are so grateful for your insights and patience.
It was a big learning curve (and I am still trying to figure out why milk is in a bag . . .) I look forward to hanging out, I mean possibly working with you when I arrive here full time;-) In the meantime, thank you again from us both. Arica and Eric

Fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle

Over the past couple of weeks we were very fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle.
We were selling our home and Molly brought her client to view it knowing it would be a home that they would be interested in....which by the way they were as they did end up purchasing. It was our fortunate luck that we met Molly through this endeavour. My husband and I were selling our house with Grapevine and as we are not experienced sellers there were a few times we were very close to just taking it off the market and staying here. Her experience, knowledge, kindness to us, her understanding that this was a difficult decision especially for my husband made the whole difference for us. Molly's professionalism and expertise, her ability to 'walk a fine line' while working for her client and yet to be so kind and gentle with us was amazing. We feel the whole experience gave us the opportunity to meet and talk with Molly and to value her knowledge. You can be assured that we will highly recommend her to any of our friends who need a conscientious, honest, trustworthy realtor. Sadly we will miss talking with Molly but we only wish her the very best in the future and say 'thank you Molly' for all her help and support. Sincerely, Lenore and Ralph

I really appreciate your hard work,

I will refer you and Molly to friends and family if they are looking to sell. Yana
