The architectural structuring principle of the cellular compartment
floor plan is as simple as it is economical, yet it allows for
spatial and combinatorial freedom that can be interpreted in
ever-new, ever-different ways. The resulting self-contained units
or spatial sequences are suited for residential purposes as much as
for office buildings, museums or schools, with the floor plans
providing highly dynamic and surprising traffic patterns and views.
The cellular compartment floor plan is the generating principle in
many buildings, projects, and competition entries by Basel-based
office Luca Selva Architects, who have been continually developing
this typology in their many years of practice, modifying it and
adapting it for new applications in different projects. It is
therefore at the centre of this new book on the work of the
prolific office. The numerous plans and photographs are
supplemented by a theoretical essay by Christoph Wieser and a
conversation between Luca Selva and Patrick Gmur. The book for the
first time sheds light on this surprisingly sparsely researched
topic, and thus its wider significance for the discourse reaches
beyond the exemplary designs by Luca Selva Architects. Text in
English and German.
