INTERIOR DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
The new Strasbourg's school of architecture is called Le fabrique, since it was built in a former industrial area in the east side of the city center. Until the construction of the new building the school was accommodated in an old building of 1950, known as Le garage. The architect and engineer of the project is Marc Mimram, known for the design and construction of several bridges.

The idea for this DIY project, came from the art monevement of "objet trouve" or "ready made", where common objects of daily use (and definitely with non-art function) can be converted into art objects... or into unique design objects. Marcel Duchamp was the originator of this term, in the early 20th century. His bottle Rack is a bottle drying rack signed by Duchamp, and is considered to be the first "pure" readymade.
So, could you also consider the following object a subversive object of contemporary design?
Curtains are a strong and necessary décor element as they add elegance and enormous personality to a space.
Recycle tin cans by converting them into pencl holders.
Reader’s question
Our friend from Greece asks: "I have attached the floor plan of my house showing the furniture placement I am planning. I would like your opinion if it is properly placed; otherwise could you suggest me a proper arrangement? I also need your help in arranging the entrance/office area. I have chosen to arrange the home office desk there because we are spending a lot of hours on the computer. In your opinion is this a good choice? Thank you in advance."
Reader’s question
"I am in the process of purchasing furniture. The problem is that the open plan living dining room is long and narrow and I have difficulties in furniture placement. I have attached a plan of the space, I hope to be helpful! I would like your help in order to create a functional and stylish space. I am thinking of placing a three-seater sofa with two armchairs in front of the large window. In front of the fireplace I would like a sectional, opposite the TV, which will be placed next to the fireplace, and maybe an ottoman bench in front of the sofa. The dining area seems to be the easiest for placing furniture. Thanks and I am looking forward to your reply! "
