An avant-garde blend of contemporary design and art informs the work of architecture’s enfant terrible. This first book on his practice presents a variety of immersive living and working spaces that push the limits of practicality and imagination.
Best known for UNESCO’s Cop22 in Marrakech and the extension to the French Embassy in Vienna, as well as his daring “guerrilla architecture” such as the Bow-House made from scaffolding and repurposed doors and windows in Holland, architect, urban planner, author, and former graffiti artist Stéphane Malka is at the forefront of the architectural avant-garde.
Malka’s work blends art and architecture from a humanistic perspective informed by the designer’s intent to create work that is both positive and sustainable. His practice, with offices in Paris and Los Angeles, produces homes, offices, art installations, and stage sets with the idea that we should always rethink our typical notions and challenge established conventions. The result is surprising places where dreams and pragmatism, baroque and minimalism, ecology and sophistication intermingle.
The book, an expression of Malka’s daring aesthetic and conscientious spirit, showcases his groundbreaking exploration of contemporary housing. Included is his cliffside Casa Mugu, in Malibu, California, a dramatic expression of housing that meets the mountain in a delicate tracery of wooden slats and glass. Beyond freestanding structures, also on display are Studio Malka’s interventions and transformations of existing architecture, and the exploration and development of sustainable construction and design, which embraces the adaptation and repurposing of existing structures and materials—a dazzling expression of art and innovation that opens its doors and windows to the future.
