SPECIAL K - 4
The French harbour town of
St Nazaire is lifted from its
war history by K-architecture’s
theatre. Herbert Wright learns
how the shell of the new
theatre space is softened
by its intricate cast concrete
pattern. The question is
whether the raw materials and
ornamental finish is enough to

U-boat bunker left over from
the town’s wartime past,
providing a new ‘theatre for
everyone’

Over two decades the French
graphic design practice M/M,
otherwise known as Mathias
Augustyniak and Michaël
Amzalag, has built an incredible
repertoire of collaborative
work. From Balenciaga to
Björk, from Madonna to M/
Mink, its very own perfume,
Yolanda Zappaterra meets
the pair on the occasion of the
release of their monograph to
discuss their canny conceptual
approach towards working with
other artists and disciplines
FISH O FOWLER -10
While the Shoreditch environs
of his studio have morphed

seafaring synth creatures and
Super Furry Animals. On the
eve of a large retrospective
exhibition in his native Wales,
Fowler
talks
technology,
synthesisers
and
finding
inspiration in the ocean.
