French architect Patrick Bouchain says “I don’t do any new buildings, I only transform the existing fabric”. Likewise, in SMA, we opted to transform the 3 small existing buildings. Surely, convincing the principals was a tad bit challenging but eventually, they got on board as this approach is environmentally better. 

We transformed one foundation and two small existing buildings into semi-open reception, open foyer, admin/ fin. office, topped by a lovely cafeteria with a view. 

The principals of KORA retreat wanted to do something related to halotherapy – a salt room. Why not design it more prominently? So, Jeenus, Janek and Anne came up with the idea, got to work and found out more on halotherapy: it became a Salt Cave! Located just beside swimming pool and bar area, it completes the whole process of bodily movements, relaxation, healing and wellness. 

More updates soon!

Ashoka's Lion Capital at Sarnath 250 B.C.E. Carved out of a single block of Chunar sandstone and measuring 2.3m in height, this magnificent highly polished sculpture of Mauryan art is the best known piece of ancient sculpture in the country, and simply has to be seen to be believed. It was mounted on top of a tall pillar at the site where Buddha gave his first teaching, just outside Varanasi. In modern India these four lions are an iconic image, found on all government documents, coins, banknotes and passports. It was adopted as the official emblem of India after independence in 1950.

562 Today there was the final presentation of the results of the Erasmus+ Key Action 2 ACPUS Workshop. Amazing to see how well our students have worked together despite not knowing each other and what level they have reached in such a short time. Workshops are always a reservoir of nice surprises. Thanks to the students, tutors and fellow teachers who have attended all this and thanks to @uchceu_universidad who hosted us. Also shots from the Lonja des Mercaderes with its twisted columns, an urban ficus and a detail of a painting by Sorolla. All this is Valencia! #valencia #workshop #palaciocolomina #architecture #architecturedesign #sorolla #ficuselastica #lonja #llotja #stonearchitecture #unesco @polimi @dastu_polimi @politechnika_krakowska (presso Llotja de la Seda) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHu5GnscYg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
