![]() Instead of a quick, distracted web, we want a slow, attentive one. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer you the ideal tool with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.ĭivisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over twenty years. With its varied atmospheres, the house becomes a domestic haven of nature and art. A space serving as a guest bedroom and a library are suspended form the roof, leaving the walls untouched. ![]() In contrast, the double-height common room resembles a gallery while highlighting the verticality of the forest. A screen room prolonging the volume and overlooking the ferns blurs the line between inside and outside. Housing the master bedroom, bathrooms and the kitchen, it is completely open to the surrounding nature. Covered by a thin roof, it levitates among the trees. The private section stretches to border the nearby river. The layout is arranged in two areas, one private and the other common, along a central axis. As art collectors, he and his partner dreamed of a spacious house in which to live among their pieces. After the owner spent a few years abroad, it became clear to him that he should inhabit the parcel he had inherited. Literally meaning the “far end,” Les Abouts remained unoccupied for quite some time. His parents eventually left him a sizable land area that they could not cultivate. The residence’s name comes from the story of one of its two inhabitants, who grew up on the family-owned farm. It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web. banners, pop-ups or other distracting noise. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. ![]() A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally. May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."Ĭontent that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.
