Description

2G 89: BAST features an architecture practice that has adopted a proactive attitude towards research, seeking to experiment with the diverse potential of each project. During every step of the design phase, they offer multiple different solutions. As a result, they do not adhere to a strict formal method; instead, their projects evolve through an ongoing process.

BAST's architecture practice is based in Toulouse, France. The architects draw on concepts of modern assemblage and montage: the structural unit is tested through the superposition of logics, façade layers, intersecting structures, and sections. The overall logic emerges from resemblances, elements that appear like something else but defy expectations. These components are mixed together thoughtfully.

Managing the resulting combination necessitates a clear idea, as without it, the building site could quickly spiral into chaos. The structural principle serves as the logic, while the design sequence integrates these elements cohesively. Once the design principle is established, irrespective of whether the window frame is positioned here or there, the underlying catalyst is already active. The fragments can then be assembled with a vision for a promising future.
