Mother Fuksas
Reminds me of the
Tamade bar, so I include it.
Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas. Emporio ArmaniThe write-up starts in a reasonable place...
Architecture appears to be permanent whereas fashion is ephemeral, but the acceleration of our society puts these values in competition.
...but unfortunately devolves into theoretical prattle and misses the point entirely.
The Emporio Armani in Hong Kong refuses any form of traditional architectural formalism: it is attentive on the “empty” space rather than formation. The real inspiration is not the decoration, but the fluxes inside the shop.
The invisible traces of people moving through space are the only possible reference.
Cool bar, though. More pictures at the link.
