Longchamp flagship store, New York
The studio's solution uses natural light, from a large glazed core cut through the building, to draw people up a landscape, rather than a conventional staircase or escalator, to the floor above. Constructed in 1¼" hot-rolled steel and taking six months to build, the stair landscape weighs 55 tonnes and is an installation of ribbon-like forms that divide and converge to form a topography of walkways, landings and steps.

Video Kubik 555 at the Kunsthalle Hamburg
German-based creative director and graphic designer Daniel Rossa, in collaboration with the projection maestros at Urbanscreen, has created Kubik 555. Projected against the expansive wall of the Kunsthalle Hamburg, Rossa's interactive film plays with architectural constraints to produce a hallucinogenic, three dimensional take on a façade that you might otherwise never have noticed.

Chateau Versailles
Xavier Veilhan: “My project for Versailles mainly addresses the outdoor realm, following an east/west axis across the estate, from the Place d’Armes to Le Nôtre’s formal gardens. I will be placing several works or groups of works conceived especially for this exhibition, which will articulate the continuity that joins the site’s history to its contemporary protraction. This is a project that is dynamic, classical, open and universal, aiming to establish a new bond between visitors to the place and the spaces they come into contact with.”
