Mikou Studio via Designboom
Selma and Salwa Mikou are all over Designboom this week. The French architectural firm won a competition to design the primary school and recreation center in Bobigny, France that is covered in green roofs and hanging plants.
It is part of a body of work that is covered in green, a trend we are seeing everywhere as green roofs become the new normal.
But were not so lucky with their entry in a competition to design a new building for a French social security organization.
If I hadn’t seen the work of Édouard François when in France last spring, I would still be wondering who takes care of all this, or if the buildings are ever going to really look like the renderings when they are done.
A lot of interesting work by Selma and Salwa Mikou of Mikou Design Studio
