Description

The April 2026 issue of a+u features BAST (Bureau Architectures Sans Titre), an architecture studio based in Toulouse, France.

Founded in 2013, BAST develops an interdisciplinary practice focused on ecological building methods, including timber frame construction, CLT (cross-laminated timber), lime hemp, and straw bale techniques.

Rejecting excessive formal expression, the studio embraces simplicity and directness in construction, avoiding fixed stylistic identity. Their work is deeply rooted in sensitivity to local vernacular architecture and landscape, while critically rethinking the relationship between construction and architectural heritage.

This issue presents 18 projects, including renovation works such as Maison 47 and Equipement 53, as well as new construction projects like Maison 37, each responding to site-specific conditions and structural logic rather than a unified design language.

In addition to completed buildings, the magazine highlights the dynamic construction process itself, emphasizing the continuous negotiation between people, site, and materials.
