wrecking, you can't post an image directly from your hard-drive, it has to be uploaded to a site (flickr, photobucket, etc) and then use the grey code below the text box to post the image.

they're all small, 10-15, except for lochau, which should have received my resume within the last week or so...

i know someone who just got a job with HdeM... new regulations (at least in switzerland) state that in order to employ a u.s. citizen the office must have projects going in the u.s.

yeah its a little quirky... its this one:

{img}http://www.image.com/image.jpg{/img}

but use [ ] instead of { }. if your image is really large, you can constrain it by adding a space after the url and typing width=418:

{img}http://www.image.com/image.jpg width=418{/img}

again with [ ] not { }

ah yes, swiss protectionism at it's finest. it's a bad reg and will only hurt.

well it's also b/c the united states have made it increasingly difficult for them to come here...vicious cycle.

no, actually. although there certainly are a lot of us out there...

you have the first part right.

it's what the website says.

when i worked in DE, i wwould swing down to basel and hang outside the office for a job - didn't work!

next up...
the renderings for this made me really hopeful, but the reality is depressing.
but i doubt this will take more than 5 minutes.

oh, and wb what's the connection to consoni? he's pretty obscure for a swiss architect...

what is the country of origin?

looks like a lot of the projects i worked on in DE, with the interior atrium garden being used to heat in the winter and the screen to keep sun exposure to a minimum. profilit galore... like it a lot...

agreed, such a simple, effective gesture that also betters the quality of life for everyone who works there, should become a model for office design. I'd love to work here:



it's spanish, designed for a company that manufactures industrial electronic parts. the facade is a sun screen that is laser cut from the recycled scrap metal produced by the company:



The company's hi-tech facilities allowed the laser cutter to be programed to cut randomly, yet with a certain set of guidelines to create a unified and collage like exterior:

it's a tough one, these guys have no web presence whatsoever, can't even find any other projects by them. but they deserve a place in the arch portraits thread:
