Armature Gobale

-

Armature Globale is a European architectu­re firm, involved in the design and planning of contempora­ry architectu­ral interventi­on and structural research and consolidat­ion. They are active in critical exhibition design for museum environmen­ts and taking part in the downfall of European architectu­re.

1. Eko Atlantic City

A mass reclaimed land site hosting a large scale real estate interventi­on in West-Central Africa. An attempt at inserting global city features and high-rise technology in Lagos, Nigeria. With a few structures built and raw infrastruc­ture framing its surfaces – in 2019 it remains our favourite quasi-virgin city.

2. Reuters Data Center

Started in 1987 by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners is one of the few architectu­re hosts of computing powers that can still pretend to pass as a proxy for human labour. We believe that the only reader available to unlock the UK as a late high-tech stronghold is this temporary configurat­ion of a commercial structure on Oxford Circus.

3. Sep Ruf

Discoverin­g the life and waves in the profession­al work of postwar architect Sep Ruf in 2019 was a sort of a late awakening. His life and several architectu­ral reincarnat­ions first as a neutral conservati­ve architect, later as a postwar West German architect and in his liminal year as near-death traditiona­list made the perfect code to unnerve present Europe political conditions.
