Alejandro Aravena: My architectural philosophy? Bring the community into the process

Posted by

When asked to build housing for 100 families in Chile ten years ago, Alejandro Aravena looked to an unusual inspiration: the wisdom of favelas and slums. Rather than building a large building with small units, he built flexible half-homes that each family could expand on. It was a complex problem, but with a simple solution — one that he arrived at by working with the families themselves. With a chalkboard and beautiful images of his designs, Aravena walks us through three projects where clever rethinking led to beautiful design with great benefit.

The 27 Club in Paris: Chef’s Night Out with Inaki Aizpitarte

Posted by

The best-known “27 Club” has some very well known members—Cobain, Hendrix, and Joplin, to name a few. But French-Basque chef Iñaki Aizpitarte has forged his own version of the 27 Club: he began his culinary career as a 27-year-old novice, and his self-effacing Parisian eatery, Le Chateaubriand, currently occupies the 27th spot on the world’s best restaurants list.  

He may have made good, but on his recent Chef’s Night Out, Aizpitarte and friends proved that they can drink themselves into stupors worthy of doomed rockstars. Their four-stop sojourn starts modestly enough, with afternoon salads, tentacles, and vino at sunny Chez Aline, where they used to slice and dice horses. Then come the G&Ts at Clamato, a sidewalk chat with multi-Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse, plates of clams and pâté  at Le Verre Volé, and much mescal at El Cafe Bar. Pretty soon, our cadre of European gents are sheepishly slap-happy, fondling egg yolks and scuffing their shoes at some of the most sought-after counter space in the City of Light.
