The Pink Poodle unearths and projects the architecture of mid-century leisure modernism. It presents new ways of tropical living between glitz and glamour, of greatness and greed. It wants to resurface the lasting spirit of the 50s and 60s design, its values and most important its atmospheric qualities of openness, transparency, details and construction. Bringing closer the past and its hidden gem, Studio Florian Schätz projects a new architecture that is formed by technology, structure and atmosphere. While learning from modernism, with all its relevant bold moments and stringent forms, The Pink Poodle merges brutal-structuralism with the tropical and hospitality
The Pink Poodle studio documents a design strategy for a hotel destination in Cambodia through model-making, rapid prototyping, 3D printing and visual communication, where new architecture emerges in the intersection between tourism, real estate and new construction techniques in the tropics.
