Concrete jungle : tropical architecture and its surprising origins
Gestalten
- Die Gestalten Editions
- 6 Avril 2023
- 9783967040890
Combine concrete's stoicism with luscious vegetative environments and you get to the language of tropical modernism. In continuity with its founding principles from the mid 20th century, today's architectural visionaries renew the use of raw materials, such as exposed concrete, to explore functionality rather than aesthetics.
No matter if works are created in total symbiosis with the tropical landscape or surrounded by flourishing nature, Concrete Jungle presents the dichotomy of the rough material being softened by interaction with the interior and exterior. When gray meets green a never ending range of impressions awakens. -

The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1970s and 1990s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behavior.

Jaro Gielens's personal collection is one of the world's largest selections of artifacts that pay homage to this iconic era of design.
Soft Electronics explores a nostalgic and unique set of products from a very distinct time for design. Each object possesses a sense of longevity, quality, and innovation-one that has been hard to match since manufacturing was moved overseas and planned obsolescence redefined our relationship with electronic goods. -
