Continuous mess...
“Eifini” — so the boutique which sells lady's wear is called; under this brand works more than 180 shops across all China. SAKO Architects have thought up an interior for new shop in Chengdu.
Claret scenery
To allocate clothes subjects (as in gallery), walls, the ceiling and a floor are painted in white colour. All other interior is very simple. A counter which grows from a floor, and the long integral hanger, the nickelized pipe in length of 250 metres.
The pipe is freely twisted in an interior, softly dividing space on various zones. The clothes freely placed on a spacious hanger, create bright colour stains in an interior. Hangers are suspended on special fastenings. Besides clothes display, the hanger also carries out set of other functions. For example, near an input, the pipe frames a corridor and carries out a role of entrance gate.

The project of the threefold bridge for medieval village
The Italian architects from bureau Progettospore have offered the project of the threefold bridge for pedestrians and easy transport which is developed specially for medieval Italian village. The matter is that this small settlement is on a mountain slope, at height of 480 metres.
The bridge in eternity
The concept has been created for competition on the project of the new bridge which should connect village to an external world. Project Progettospore consists of three bridges which are hanging together.
“Creating this bridge, we have drawn lines which as though are groundless”, — authors, — “that the person moving on this bridge speak, felt free, as a bird, moving in air space”.
The medieval modern bridge
We have broken a stereotype that the bridge should have one input and one exit — the given bridge offers their set. The third bridge is accessible to pedestrians with the complicated traficability, on invalid carriages. Trajectories of the bridge and mutual crossing has allowed to use a minimum quantity of support. These three paths in the sky actually represent the uniform interconnected design.
