| Student Accommodation at King's Cross / Stanton Williams Posted: 17 Feb 2017 09:00 PM PST  © Hufton+Crow
 © Hufton+Crow From the architect. Designed by Stanton Williams, the Victoria Hall student residential building at King's Cross provides 198 bedrooms, predominantly for use by graduate students attending the Aga Khan University - Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations (AKU-ISMC) and the Institute for Ismaili Studies (IIS). The scheme has been developed by the King's Cross Central Limited Partnership on behalf of the Aga Khan Development Network, for whom it is the first of a planned series of buildings at the King's Cross site.  © Hufton+Crow  © Hufton+Crow The design for this new residential building draws reference from the solidity of the adobe architecture of the Middle East and aims to provide a stimulating and collegiate environment for its students in the urban setting of King's Cross.  © Hufton+Crow The building has been conceived as a form carved from a single block, creating two 12-storey 'bookend' wings above a ground floor plinth, flanking a central south-facing eight storey element set back from the street.  Section The primary building volume is expressed as a textured brick surface, with all recessed areas in contrasting lighter tones. In order to maintain the visual solidity of the form, light enters the building through both windows and hit and miss brickwork animating the interior living spaces with dappled light.  © Hufton+Crow Central to the building's character are the two courtyard gardens on the first and eighth floors that have been designed with reference to Islamic gardens found in the Andalusia region of the south of Spain, and the courtyard gardens of Morocco. Lush planting, water features and high quality stonework form the generous open communal spaces that allow residents opportunities for recreation and social interaction.  © Hufton+Crow This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| House Vlijmen / Jan Couwenberg Architectuur Posted: 17 Feb 2017 06:00 PM PST  © Claudia den Boer
 © Claudia den Boer From the architect. In the village of Vlijmen this house was designed for an elderly couple, who wanted to keep on living in this house as long as possible. Therefore, most of the program is located on ground level, on the first floor only a spare bed- and bathroom are being made. The program of the ground floor can be seen as a compact box. This box is being perforated with voids, giving rythm and scale to the flat box. In the voids a small patio, carport, wooden Western Red Cedar parts, or windows were made. By making this rhythm the house gets an extra layer between in- and outside.  Diagram On top of the first ground box a small first floor was realized, featuring a pent roof starting from the top of the box. In a gentle slope the roof lifts up the entrence facade, facing a little forest and the morning sun. The morning sun penetrates the house in the open plan kitchen, where a void to the first floor also marks the heart of the house. In the ground floor plan one clear line defines the sequence of different spaces.  © Claudia den Boer The main material used is a brown brick, with a strong horizontal seam. The wooden WRC parts are placed in a vertical manner; in time they will get a grey finish being left untreated.  © Claudia den Boer  Foor Plan  © Claudia den Boer This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © hyperSity office The office of 751D·park is located in the northeast of Beijing, which is transformed from adeclined gas plant built in 1954. The factory is one of the 175 focal state-owned industrial projectsimplemented in the socialist First Five-Year Schema.There was over 1/3gas supply delivered from this factory at that time. In the turn of the 21th Century, it became the agglomeration of creative industry in Beijing.  © hyperSity office In an area of about 150 square meters, the new office is on the third level of a three-storey brick building, connected the footbridge system and the boiler area. Given the heritage protection policy that strictly prevents alterations of architectural appearance, the design maintains the general feature of the factory plant with new railings, doors and windows. It also adds additional two shear walls in the building center to enhance the structural stability of the old building.  © hyperSity office The lighting is exclusively made, which echoes the design of working table in irregular linear form. The sculpture-like table and lighting not only create zones within the flexibly working area, but also provide a coherent order and lively cooperated environment.  Axonometric  Plan To create more flexibility of the office space, the original partition wall was demolished so the entire space becomes a continuous one. The working area of the office director and pantry area are functionally separated through the division of new added shear walls. The north and south sides were designed as open working area, meeting room, bar, and the lounging area.  © hyperSity office The southern part of the office is horizontally divided into a conference room and an upper-level small tatami area.The staircases in-between not only have storage function, and also allow the setting of a smalltheater, which provide leisure activities beyond working hours. Couple of seating areas is designed next to the bar. They are usually used for casual chat, and occasionally can be transformed into working table.  © hyperSity office In addition to the new design elements, the history of the old industrial buildings has integrated into the renovation of the new office. The original large instrument box was transformed into the locker room and storage space after repairmen and repainting. The terrazzo floor below the instrument box was retained and polished. The center bookshelf accommodates a large number of historical documentsand archives. The retaining blackboard and chalk writing recall the old memories implanted from the age of socialist production era.  © hyperSity office The extensive use of straw board greatly helps reducing cost and promotes the low-carbon and renewable material, as the entire project was completed in a very low budget. Complementing the minimal materiality, the application of straw board has also created a set of playful custom made furniture, lighting and spatial division, which is an exploration of the wide array of means for both designing and fabricating space.  © hyperSity office This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Quang Tran From the architect. The Vietnam South Central Coastal area has long been shaped by one-storey houses, which are simple but glamorous. We are not an exception.  © Quang Tran The agreement to renovate an ancestral house from the 1960s was a huge challenge for the design team. Trusted by the homeowner, we have come up with a bold idea, which is not only to preserve the traditional speciality, but also to harmoniously combine it with the modern features into the construction. In order to pursue that target, we have reorganized the inner spaces, as well as simplified the house function. Generally, the house is divided following the rule of thirds (1:3), segregating tradition and modernity. In the worship space, the homeowner wants to make use of the old interior.  © Quang Tran The living space is separated by using the furniture, combining with an inner garden and a big skylight, which enhances the provision of natural light and plays a big role in creating of a comfortable living space.  First Floor Plan We have also considered experimenting the facade solution, which may bring something new but not too different from the surrounding neighborhood.  © Quang Tran TP House represents a perfect combination of the traditional and local architecture with the modern one, familiar but not so popular.  © Quang Tran Product Description. For the spinning windows system, main door and some other decorative details on the facade, we have considered using the local Pyinkado wood as the most possible material. This type of wood can be easily found at any local carpenter's shops and has long been applied in house construction. Moreover, with flexibility and water-proofing, Pyinkado wood has proved its durability through years and become a speciality of local houses.

 © Luigi Filetici From the architect. The renovation of an apartment is always a fascinating challenge, then when we get our hands on a penthouse at the one of the most beautiful and representative streets of Rome, a penthouse from which there is even the view of the Dome of S . Peter, thus the work becomes passion.  © Luigi Filetici The pre-existence: a penthouse on two levels. central element of the project becomes the lift which with its crystal walls, becomes the main receptor of light from the top. The architectural totem is set in the heart of the apartment and is formed lightly around it, without touching it, the steel staircase.  © Luigi Filetici The interior spaces are overlooked from a pitched roof in any environment, they become dynamic volumes and the Interior Design takes a unique plasticity.  Sixth Floor The white color on the background magnifies and multiplies articulated and enclosed spaces by a terrace that surrounds the whole apartment. Few color accents on a nearly monochromatic palette, dotted with punctual light, to emphasize the primary functions, dinner, preparation and conviviality.  © Luigi Filetici The large outdoor terrace becomes the scene's representation of itself and the beauties around. The "pergotenda" structure is illuminated in its bearing elements, emphasizing the retractable awnings lightness between them including, giving rhythm to the space during the day and night.  © Luigi Filetici Product Description. The choice of materials and finishes was weighted by the desire to build an almost monochromatic space: Floor in shiny white ceramic in large format Ariostea, Absolute white. In each space, we find this White finish, except in the kitchen, where the same material was chosen with a "textured" Onyx finish, to identify the different function, however choice also tense to heat a dominated environment by the important technical kitchen with many details in steel with the Arclinea company. The same kitchen in the most convivial space, the dining table, welcomes a "live" wood material. The lighting is the mistress in every corner. The spider web with suspended wires, the Vibia's Wireflow, characterizes the living area, the same company with Skan, identifies the dining area. All the passageways are characterized by a ceiling light beams, the Minimal60 from Xal company, simple, linear elements with dimmer devices for modulating the light at different times of the day.

Image © The Barnes Foundation Tod Williams and Billie Tsien have been selected of the recipients of the 2017 LongHouse Award for their "for their outstanding body of work in architecture." At Wednesday evening's ceremony, the husband-wife team opened up about the conceptual ideas driving their yet-to-be-revealed design for the Obama Presidential Library. In a lively discussion with Vanity Fair architecture critic Paul Goldberger, the architects revealed the nature of their working relationship with the President and First Lady, and how their upcoming library may draw from what TWBT learned in designing the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.  Tod Williams and Billie Tsien in discussion with Paul Goldberger. Image © Sean Zanni, Patrick McMullan Company Completed in 2012, the Barnes Foundation on Benjamin Franklin Parkway was designed as the new home of the world-class art collection that previously occupied a beaux-arts villa in the nearby Merion, Pennsylvania. Speaking about the logic behind the design of the Barnes, Williams explained how the Obama Presidential Library may be inspired by similar motivations: "In the Barnes in Merion, you were either in the building or in the garden. We decided to bring these two together... What we did, in a way, is what we might do for the presidential library: we took the agency of the idea of the garden and combined it with the building so the building didn't exist by itself." "The library is not only Barack Obama, it's Michelle Obama – two amazing people, and people who have very different and powerful separate views. So plurality is critical to solving all architectural problems. It can never been done by a single thing, it has to be using the agency of other elements, in particular the garden." .jpg?1487368474 "The \"Gallery in a Garden\" at The Barnes Foundation. Image © The Barnes Foundation") The "Gallery in a Garden" at The Barnes Foundation. Image © The Barnes Foundation Responding to a question about the architects' relationship with the Obamas (described by Goldberger as 'sympatico'), Williams drew parallels between the two couples: "I think he realized nothing could really be done without her, that's the extraordinary thing, it's a true relationship. And that's why we put together the idea of architecture in the garden, because these are as different as Billie and I are, or as Barack and Michelle are. I think it's a pretty easy relationship because of his respect for her, and her respect for him." "I think the interesting thing was, what we talk about is for a set of principles and ideas rather than specific buildings, and then the buildings became an expression of the principles, so in that way it is much more fluid as a process of designing something because first you agree on the principles."  The 2017 LongHouse Award Ceremony, held at the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects . Image © Sean Zanni, Patrick McMullan Company Well-known for their elegant architecture that centers around the idea of permanence, Williams and Tsien recounted how the Obamas suggested the building take on a strong presence of its own: "He said it was too unflashy," explained Tsien. "He looked at what we did and he said, 'I said you could be sort of quiet, but I think you're a little too quiet.'  The 2017 LongHouse Award.

 © Jérôme Ricolleau The establishment of the project "ESAT Henri Robin" (an organization which provides car through employment) results from the following considerations:  © Jérôme Ricolleau Visitors and staff enter the office center through a landscape strip and a sheltered forecourt. A plant-covered courtyard connects the different workshops and ensures private areas to the users. On the North-West part of the site, a technical courtyard insures the receipt of merchandise. Working on a lengthwise basis, we set up a slider logic in which each hub owes a building appropriate to these spatial issues.  Floor Plan The principal of material distinguishes the gables from the other frontages of each building – we have a wood cladding system ahead of colored panels on the bottom part. The upper part of the frontage is made of polycarbonate in order to provide a diffuse light. The lateral frontages present more neutral material : a natural aluminum corrugated cladding.  © Jérôme Ricolleau This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

However, being at a high altitude level, it is strongly influenced by the municipality laws .jpg?1485163798 "© Marcelo Donadussi") © Marcelo Donadussi The privileged view - at the back of the lot - was the starting point for the layout of the apartments: as a project premise, all units should view the sunset. As there was no possibility of fitting two apartments linearly per floor (facing the view) it was decided to also use duplex apartments. Therefore, in every two floors, two apartments are linear and one is duplex. .jpg?1485163483 "© Marcelo Donadussi") © Marcelo Donadussi The concept of the project seeks the individuality of each housing unit through the idea of stacked houses, which is very evident in the volume - each apartment is easily identified on 3 facades. The different typologies of apartments reflect the different ways of living of the users: the duplex apartments have 89m² and have social and intimate areas well separated, while the linear apartments have 87m² and seek a greater integration between the two programs. The duplex apartment on the ground floor has a very generous patio and the penthouse apartment occupies the whole floor.  Section By emphasize the volumes of the apartments the concrete structure creates a frame around each volume, where the windows are displayed randomly on the side facades. In the back facade, facing the view, the windows are opened to the maximum.

| Yin-Yang House / Brooks + Scarpa Architects Posted: 17 Feb 2017 05:00 AM PST  © John Linden
 © John Linden The Yin-Yang House is a single-family home in a quiet Venice, CA neighborhood. The design objective was to create a space for a large and growing family with several children, which would create a calm, relaxed and organized environment that emphasizes public family space. The home is also meant to serve as a place to entertain and a welcoming space for teenagers as they seek social space with friends.  © John Linden The home is organized around a series of courtyards and other outdoor spaces that integrate with the interior of the house. Facing the street the house appears to be solid. However, behind the steel entry door is a courtyard, which reveals the indoor-outdoor nature of the house behind the solid exterior. From the entry courtyard, the entire space to the rear garden wall can be seen; the first clue of the home's spatial connection between inside and out. These spaces are designed for entertainment, and the 50 foot sliding glass door to the living room enhances the harmonic relationship of the main room, allowing the owners to host many guests without the feeling of being overburdened.  Courtesy of Brooks + Scarpa
The tensions of the house's exterior are subtly underscored by a 12-inch steel band that hews close to, but sometimes rises above or falls below the floor line of the second floor – a continuous loop moving inside and out like a pen that is never lifted from the page, but reinforces the intent to spatially weave together as a single space the indoors with the outside space.  © John Linden Scale manipulation also plays a formal role in the design of the structure. From the back, the house appears to be a single-story volume. The large master bedroom window and the outdoor steps are scaled to support this illusion. It is only when the steps are animated with people that one realizes the true scale of the house is two stories.  Courtesy of Brooks + Scarpa
The kitchen is the heart of the house, with an open working area that allows the owner, an accomplished chef, to chat with friends while cooking. Bedrooms are intentionally designed to be very small and simple, to provide larger public spaces, emphasizing the family over individual domains. The breakfast room looks across an outdoor courtyard to the guest room/kids playroom, establishing a visual connection while defining the separation of uses. The children can play outdoors while under adult supervision from the dining area or the office, or do homework in the office while adults occupy the adjacent outdoor or indoor space.  © John Linden Many of the materials used, including the bamboo interior, composite stone and tile countertops and bathroom finishes are recycled, and reinforce the environmental DNA of the house, which also has a green roof. Blown-in cellulose insulation, radiant heating and a host of other sustainable features aids in the performance of the building's heating and cooling.  Courtesy of Brooks + Scarpa
The active systems in the home include a 12 KW solar photovoltaic panel system, the largest such residential system available on the market. The solar panels also provide shade from the sun, preventing the house from becoming overheated. The owners have been in the home have yet to receive a power bill.  © John Linden This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Islington Maisonette / Larissa Johnston Architects Posted: 17 Feb 2017 03:00 AM PST  © Rory Gardiner
 © Rory Gardiner Located in a conservation area in Islington, this Victorian maisonette has been reconfigured and extended, to convert a previously dark, segmented property into a light, spacious and modern family home.  © Rory Gardiner One of the key issues with the property previously, was that the living spaces lacked any connection with the rear external courtyard which felt detached and unusable. Consequently the bedrooms have been relocated from the lower to the upper level, and the kitchen, living and dining areas are moved to the lower floor to enjoy a direct relationship with the courtyard garden. The property has been extended to the rear with large glazed sliding doors and a continuous floor surface ensuring a seamless relationship between internal and external space.  © Rory Gardiner The lower level is made open plan to maximise the sense of spaciousness. To achieve clean lines, all of the new supporting steelwork is fully concealed within the thickness of the building fabric. Inserted within the large open plan space is a compact and efficient plywood 'box' which incorporates a fitted kitchen, staircase, storage, and a desk with adjacent shelving. A utility room and cloakroom are neatly tucked beneath the stairs. The 'box' also serves to conceal the lowered floor level of the study area /half landing, which could not be raised due to the configuration of the property above. This allows for a continuous high ceiling soffit throughout the main space.  Lower Ground Floor Plan Before  Lower Ground Floor Plan After Natural materials comprising timber, plywood, stainless steel, polished concrete and white plaster are used throughout. The restrained nature of the material palette complements the simplicity of the spaces.  © Rory Gardiner The white rendered facade of the extension provides continuity with the internal white plaster. It also responds to the existing context of adjacent houses which have retained their original white rendered base below the brickwork.  © Rory Gardiner This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Jenny Sabin Studio Selected as Winner of the MoMA PS1 2017 Young Architects Program Posted: 17 Feb 2017 02:00 AM PST  Jenny Sabin Studio. Lumen. 2017 (rendering). Winner of the Young Architects Program 2017, MoMA PS1, New York. Image Courtesy of Jenny Sabin Studio Lumen by Jenny Sabin Studio has been named the winner of The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1's annual Young Architects Program. Opening on June 27 in the MoMA PS1 courtyard, this year's construction is an immersive design that evolves over the course of a day, providing a cooling respite from the midday sun and a responsive glowing light after sundown. Drawn from among five finalists, Jenny Sabin Studio's Lumen will serve as a temporary urban landscape for the 20th season of Warm Up, MoMA PS1's pioneering outdoor music series. Lumen will remain on view through the summer. Now in its 18th edition, the Young Architects Program at The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 has offered emerging architectural talent the opportunity to design and present innovative projects, challenging each year's winners to develop creative designs for a temporary, outdoor installation that provides shade, seating, and water. The architects must also work within guidelines that address environmental issues, including sustainability and recycling. Made of responsive tubular structures in a lightweight knitted fabric, Lumen features a canopy of recycled, photo-luminescent, and solar active textiles that absorb, collect, and deliver light. A misting system responds to visitors' proximity, activating fabric stalactites that produce a refreshing micro-climate. Socially and environmentally responsive, Lumen's multisensory environment is inspired by collective levity, play, and interaction as the structure and materials transform throughout the day and night, adapting to the densities of bodies, heat, and sunlight. "The Young Architects Program remains one of the most significant opportunities for architects and designers from across the country and world to build radical yet transformative ideas. This year's finalists are no exception; their projects illustrate a diversity of approaches and refreshing ideas for architecture today," said Sean Anderson, Associate Curator in MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design. "Jenny Sabin's catalytic immersive environment, Lumen, captured the jury's attention for imaginatively merging public and private spaces. With innovative construction and design processes borne from a critical merging of technology and nature to precise attention to detail at every scale, Lumen will no doubt engage visitors from day to night in a series of graduated environments and experiences."  Jenny Sabin Studio. Lumen. 2017 (rendering). Winner of the Young Architects Program 2017, MoMA PS1, New York. Image Courtesy of Jenny Sabin Studio Klaus Biesenbach, MoMA PS1 Director and MoMA Chief Curator at Large adds, "In its 18th iteration, this annual competition offered jointly by the Architecture and Design Department at MoMA and MoMA PS1 continues to take risks and encourage experimentation among architects. Jenny Sabin's Lumen is a socially and environmentally responsive structure that spans practices and disciplines in its exploratory approach to new materials. Held in tension within the walls of MoMA PS1's courtyard, Lumen turns visitors into participants who interact with its responsiveness to temperature, sunlight, and movement." The other finalists for this year's MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program were Bureau Spectacular (Jimenez Lai and Joanna Grant), Ania Jaworska, Office of III (Sean Canty, Ryan Golenberg and Stephanie Lin), and SCHAUM/SHIEH (Rosalyne Shieh and Troy Schaum). An exhibition of the five finalists' proposed projects will be on view at The Museum of Modern Art over the summer, organized by Sean Anderson, Associate Curator, with Arièle Dionne-Krosnick, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art. Bloomberg Philanthropies has supported the Young Architects Program since 2007. In 2016, MoMA PS1 and The Museum of Modern Art were thrilled to announce that this lead sponsorship had been extended for three years, enabling the Young Architects Program to thrive and excite audiences through summer 2018.

| The Simplicity of Iranian Architecture's Complex Geometry Posted: 17 Feb 2017 01:30 AM PST  © Ariana Zilliacus Iran's geography consists largely of a central desert plateau, surrounded by mountain ranges. Due to the country being mostly covered by earth, sand, and rock, Iranian architecture makes fantastic use of brick or adobe elements. Most of the buildings seen in larger cities such as Tehran and Isfahan are constructed using similar brick-laying methods as can been seen in other parts of the world, but certain constructions, usually ones that date further back, contain incredible geometrical treasures. And it doesn't stop there - old Iranian architecture often contains a layer of tiles over the brick constructions that can create just as mesmerizing geometrical wonders. The art of creating complexity by using many incredibly simple elements is one that has been mastered in Iran. In an architectural world where construction has become hidden by layers of plaster and plywood, we could learn a lot from the beauty of Iran's structural geometry, where skin and structure are (almost always) one and the same. Brick/Adobe © Ariana Zilliacus The common brick is something we are all quite familiar with; fired clay in the shape of a rectangular cuboid. Adobe, which most people are less familiar with, is the name for a compressed mixture of sand, silt, clay, water, and sometimes straw, to form the shape of an extruded square that is often seen in Iranian architecture. Different combinations are used to create different forms such as arches or ornamentation. Sometimes the adobe or brick is covered in plaster as protection, creating the impression of a single carved form.  © Ariana Zilliacus  © Ariana Zilliacus  © Ariana Zilliacus  © Ariana Zilliacus Tiles © Ariana Zilliacus Most commonly seen in mosques, the brick or adobe domes, arches and decorative entrances are occasionally covered in brightly colored tiles. The tiles, like the clay elements, are small individual pieces that come together to form a complex, organic geometry. From afar they appear to be one continuous facade, but up close one can easily see the gaps in between each crooked tile.  © Ariana Zilliacus  © Ariana Zilliacus Wood © Ariana Zilliacus Before architects began installing glass, windows and doors were often made up of beautiful geometric wooden webs, constructed of hundreds of small, wooden sticks, cut to fit together perfectly - another example of the skilled ways in which Iranian craftsmen took a simple element, multiplied it and arranged it in order to create something incredibly intricate.  © Ariana Zilliacus  © Ariana Zilliacus Carvings © Ariana Zilliacus At Persepolis, a site estimated to be over 2500 years old, exists another example of the complexity achieved by building up a series of elementary components. Along the stone walls of the ruins are carvings of people, soldiers, kings, queens, and animals all very nearly perfect in relation to one another. The ability to carve the exact same solider over 10 times in a row without using a template or an automatic machine was achieved by carving them out step by step, just like building a wall brick by brick. One craftsman carved out the general form, another defined it, a third carved out the details, and a fourth focused on the beard and hair. Contemporary architecture © Ariana Zilliacus At the architecture school in the desert city of Yazd, students have explored contemporary ways of combining simple elements with a goal of creating a final structure that is geometrically advanced. Examples include textiles, string, and wires, using the design concepts of traditional Iranian handicraft to produce something just as exciting within modern architecture.  © Ariana Zilliacus  © Ariana Zilliacus This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Tourist Access Adaptation to the Domes of The Cathedral of Malaga / Marina Uno Arquitectos Posted: 17 Feb 2017 01:00 AM PST  © Imagen Subliminal
 © Lluis Casals The result of the building process in which Malaga’s cathedral has been immersed in since 1524 is that even though it possesses a notable architectural unity, it is lacking a clearly defined style. Over these—practically—five hundred years, there have been periods of considerable advance in its construction, like the 16th century, during which the fortress-like apse was built with airs of the Renaissance, and the 18th century, in which the choir nave and the main facade were materialized with the looks of a Baroque palace. The cathedral’s governing body insistence on maintaining the unity of the temple, made the 18th century architects realize a project that, even though it belongs to its day, is laid out upon previously built parts.  © Lluis Casals Towards the end of the 18th century, due to a lack of funds, all work was stopped. Two sacristies, the southern tower and the roofs were never built.  © Imagen Subliminal The unfinished situation of Malaga’s cathedral, with its lack of a roof covering which leaves the outer surfaces of the vaults visible from the outside, has generated a space that is a kind of elevated plaza above the city. This space is situated forty meters above the ground floor and offers visitors a three hundred and sixty degree perspective above the city. With the goal of making it easier to reach this space, the current project is carried out to improve of certain itineraries, including the adaptation of the ascent to this privileged place, upgrading security and lighting conditions, in accordance to the activity that is to take place.  © Lluis Casals But the design is not merely a way of making this privileged space accessible, it also becomes a true promenade architecturale, an artistic itinerary. The tour provides an ascent through stairways of diverse geometries and extraordinary masonry work, strolls on the terraces over the chapels and views to the interior of the temple from above. Multiple romos covered by stone vaults mark the ascent, serving as resting spaces along the itinerary as well as possible exhibition areas.  Axonometric  Axonometric The itinerary through these spaces and the contemplation of the views from the upper levels of the cathedral’s vaults not only allows to grasp the entire building and its historical evolution, but it also helps to understand the city that has grown at its feet. Basically, the intervention has three parts: a system of railings that avert the risk of falling has been placed; a series of platforms and stairs to overcome the existing drops have been built to generate contemplation and resting spaces, and a lighting system has been installed that allows night tours.  Floor Plan  Axonometric In contrast with the overwhelming presence of masonry work, we have used materials such as wood and metal for this installation. Even though they have a degree of presence within the space, they can be disassembled. Each and every one of the elements added by this intervention has been anchored into the joints of the masonry work so that, if deemed necessary, everything can be removed without leaving a trace.  © Lluis Casals This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| New Type of Marble Protection Derived From Human Teeth and Bones Posted: 17 Feb 2017 12:00 AM PST  Courtesy of Pixabay User Falco License Public Domain Researchers at Princeton University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering have discovered that hydroxyapatite, the primary compound found in human teeth and bones, can be used to help preserve the condition of marble, which is prone to cracking and deteriorating as a result of the effects of pollution and the weather. "In spite of being apparently very durable, marble is actually sensitive to several deterioration processes," said visiting postdoctoral researcher Enrico Sassoni, who is also leading the investigation. "Environmental temperature variations cause the opening of cracks inside marble, and rain causes dissolution of the carved surface."  © Giampietro Meneghelli Being composed of the mineral calcite, marble naturally reacts with a phosphate salt water solution to create the hydroxyapatite. The water enters and strengthens the stone by sealing cracks from within, without affecting its color or reflectivity. Hydroxyapatite is also non-toxic and easy to apply, adding to its advantages as a new sealant for marble. It also takes effect within 24 hours of application. Princeton's research team is additionally testing whether the compound is strengthened with the addition of alcohol and electric currents. With the help of sculpture restorers, a preliminary test of the hydroxyapatite's performance is planned for the sculptures at the Palace of Versailles. News via: Princeton University and H/T Curbed.

| How Architects Realized the Curving, Twisted, Slanted Walls in Toyo Ito's Mexican Museum Posted: 16 Feb 2017 10:00 PM PST  © Patrick Lopez Jaimes / Danstek This article is part of our 'Innovative Materials' series where we ask architects about the creative process behind choosing the materials they use in their work. The Museo Internacional del Barroco (International Baroque Museum) by Toyo Ito is located 7km from Puebla, Mexico. The place is noted for its easy access, not only for cars, but also for being connected to a network of bike paths and public transport. In this interview we spoke with Alejandro Bribiesca Ortega and Miriam Carrada. What were the main materials used for this project? AB / MC: Undoubtedly the most important material in the project was concrete, as it made it possible to bring Toyo Ito’s design to life, including its curved and twisted walls up to 15 meters high that lean up to 17° in places.  Courtesy of Toyo Ito The construction system, specially designed for the MIB, used precast concrete walls and slabs that, in addition to being the structure of the building itself, give the final finishing. The slabs, composed of precast gray concrete tablets 7 cm thick, use recycled PET spheres to make them lighter; While the panels that make up the walls are formed by two plates of white concrete between 15 and 21 meters high and 36 cm thick that, once placed in place, were cast with gray concrete to form monolithic sandwich walls.  Courtesy of Miriam Carrada Legaria What were the major sources of inspiration and influence in selecting the materials? AB / MC: Whatever material we used had to correspond to the design of the building and make a single, solid unit. In other words, the curved and complex shape had to be made in such a way that the architectural elements were minimized as much as possible to create exhibition spaces of large clearings and express two of the basic concepts of design: fluidity and natural light and shading, respecting the height and angle of the components.  Courtesy of Takayuki Ohara Martínez To do that, we looked for a material that let us make the structure of the building and, simultaneously, gave the final finishing. The system we used allowed to do that and at the same time bring down costs by using less white concrete in the structure. Describe how the decisions made on which materials to use played a role within the concept design. AB / MC: During the design process, many formal possibilities and spatial configurations were explored in order to arrive at a proposal that, according to the design team, best suited the needs of the project. The idea of possible materials, in this case concrete, emerged throughout this process in which, by means of scale models and drawings, the shape was defined. The curves, twists and angles in components that were very tall and thin needed a resistant, malleable material that could be bought in Mexico.  Courtesy of Takayuki Ohara Martínez What advantages did these materials offer during construction? AB / MC: The use of prefabricated concrete elements offered many advantages over an on-site casting system. By using sandwich we reduced the amount of shite concrete we needed by 70% and we were able to reduce the amount of centering by 50% by modulating the shape and using molds on site. Also the system allowed to optimize resources, to have better quality control during construction and assembly and to follow the project’s progress closely. But certainly the most important advantage was shortening the construction time of the structure to only 27 weeks.  Courtesy of Takayuki Ohara Martínez Did you face any challenges due to the materials you’d selected? AB / MC: While constructing the MIB with prefabricated concrete elements brought many advantages, it was also a challenge throughout the entire process, since this construction system had not been used in the country before. The first challenge was to industrialize the shape, so we needed to make a 3D model of the building and used it to accurately modulate the 55 walls to get the greatest number of equal panels without affecting the original design. From that model we got the different types of panels and their shapes, including all the gaps, spans, and installation steps since once they were manufactured, the panels could not be altered.  Courtesy of Toyo Ito According to the design and modulation, the building was to consist of 701 panels that were between 15 and 21 meters in length and 36 centimeters thick and classified into three types: straight sandwich, curved-sandwich and solid curved mass of white concrete. We needed enough panels so that the four mounting fronts working simultaneously on the site were continuously covered. We did that through a rigorous manufacturing program based on the use of 65 different molds specially designed for this project that let us make each piece in just 3 days. .jpg?1487098883 "Courtesy of Toyo Ito") Courtesy of Toyo Ito Putting the panels of walls and slabs together to make one monolithic structure was perhaps the most complex process and required many tests before doing any work on site. Once the topographic equipment was used to place the panels into their exact positions, casting had to be done in such a way as to guarantee the sandwich panels resisted the pressure from the concrete while covering all the spaces in the interior, because at such great height and between such dense steel we couldn't vibrate the concrete (to settle it into place). The solution was to make 2 to 5 meters partial castings with a thin, almost liquid self-compacting concrete that is easily distributed within the structure. Was any other possible material considered for the project? And if so, how would the design have changed? .jpg?1487098868 "Courtesy of Toyo Ito") Courtesy of Toyo Ito AB / MC: Once the design was defined and the offer given in Mexico, we only thought about using concrete thanks to its strength, timelessness and malleability. Although the MIB was conceptualized to be build using concrete casts on site, changing the system didn’t seriously affect the design. Some adjustments were made like standardizing the curves and the dimensions of apertures in order to facilitate the mass production of the prefabricated panels. How did you research and choose suppliers or contractors for the materials used in the project? AB / MC: Prior to construction, the MIB team explored different construction solutions available in Mexico. During that process of research and analysis the company we ended up contacting, Danstek, backed by Fapresa , stood out. They specialized in the construction of prefabricated concrete and showed great interest in the project and made a mock-up of one of the panels while demonstrating its production capacity to meet the project’s demands within the required time and most importantly, emphasized their willingness to collaborate with the team to design the best construction solution for the building.  © Patrick Lopez Jaimes / Danstek This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Total Space: Considering Dutch Structuralism Today Posted: 16 Feb 2017 09:30 PM PST  Piet Blom, the Speelhuis Theatre and Cube Houses, c. 1974. Blom drew the roofs of the theatre with some of the surrounding 188 houses. The star-shaped void for admitting daylight is created by omitting one cube. Image © Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam, Blom, P. / Archive (BLOM), inv. nr. BLOM137 In this article, Dirk van den Heuvel links (Dutch) Structuralism to current day developments – more specifically in the digital realm. The following essay was first published by Volume in their 50th issue, Beyond Beyond, the editorial of which is available to read here. Throughout his life the Dutch architect Jaap Bakema (1914-1981) sought to convey to his students and colleagues the notion of what he called 'total space', 'total life', and 'total urbanization'. In his view, architectural design had to help in making people aware of the larger environment to which they belong and in which they operate. Architecture could not be uncoupled from urbanism, it was related to the deeper structure of society. His conceptualization of architecture was programme and process based and it put social and visual relationships at the centre, which betrays his adherence to Structuralism as voiced in the Dutch journal Forum of which he was an editor together with Van Eyck and Hertzberger, and to the Team 10 discourse, of which he himself was one of the leading voices. At the same time, Bakema would expand on the legacy of the Dutch De Stijl movement and Dutch Functionalism. In particular his concept of space and spatial continuity is derived from De Stijl. His diagrammatic approach to architectural design and programmatic organization, as well as the elementary architectural language of his projects were elaborations of the Dutch Functionalist tradition.  Particular to Bakema's approach, and his friends of Dutch Forum and Team 10, was the way these theoretical notions were articulated architecturally as an interrelated system of transitional spaces, elements, filters et cetera, from the doorstep to the street to the larger city and the landscape. For Bakema cum suis, such a socio-spatial system of relays and switches would allow for the citizens to navigate the post-war realities of a new emergent consumerism and state-controlled planning by individual option. However, within the context of the welfare state, that established a redistributive bureaucracy of resources, industrial production and wealth accumulation, the 'total' aspect of the new environmental thinking all too often yielded egalitarianism and free-choice to apparently 'totalitarian' planning practices of pre-programmed encounters and choices. It wasn't until the 1970s when the seemingly endless expansion of this economic system broke down and a new regime based on the so-called free-market ideology replaced the old redistributive system.

Image © Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam, Architectenbureau Van den Broek en Bakema / Archive (BROX), inv. nr. BROXf1772. Megastructure'Growth and Change', 'Habitat', 'Ascending Dimensions' and the 'Aesthetics of Number' were all key terms that Bakema linked to a political programme for a social-democratic, egalitarian and open society as embodied by the Western European welfare state system. Other words of the period that were most characteristic of the avant-garde circles in which Bakema moved, included the by-now familiar ones of 'network', 'patterns', 'environment', 'metabolism' or 'ecological urbanism'. While the welfare state system has withered under the rise of neo-liberal politics, many of these historical terms from the 1950s and 60s are still current in describing the transformations of our urban lifestyles and environments under the influence of new digital information technologies. Most notably, in his recent book The Stack, On Software and Sovereignty digital design theorist Benjamin Bratton uses one of the foremost architectural concepts of the 1960s when he speaks of an 'accidental megastucture' to explain the conglomerate of ICT-infrastructures that created a new 'global' reality. The new freedoms accommodated by the new technologies together with global, inter-state judicial arrangements are experienced as quite ambigious, to say the least. As is well-known these arrangements enable by-passing and undermining state-control through outsourcing and tax evasion. The new social freedoms as designed by the global platforms of Facebook and the like currently meet similar distrust since the platforms have transformed themselves into not only aggregates of private data but also production machines for new private data to be traded as merchandise. So, just as the all-inclusive, public welfare state system of good intentions created its own paranoia, today the ubiquity of the new private technologies of security, ease and comfort paradoxically brings about a constant nervousness without any prospect of relief or relaxation. In the late 1990s, during the first hype around the new possibilities as enabled by internet technologies, some voices already warned for 'ideological smoothness' in architecture and planning (Michael Hays, for instance), yet all sorts of neo-Deleuzean concepts - horizontal, rhizomatic, swarm-based - were recycled as to promote a new libertarian freedom away from state control systems. Interestingly enough, Bratton's concept of the accidental megastructure of the ICT-technologies as a 'stack' acknowledges the new vertical hierarchies at play, that are nested within each other as interrelational fields or grids of cloud points.

VisualizationsWhat might be the specific things to observe and what can we learn when comparing the historical discourse with the developments of today? Especially in relation to architecture and urban planning? 'Total urbanization' under redistributive welfare state regimes has moved to the next level of the 'global city' (Saskia Sassen) or the 'endless city' (Ricky Burdett) of global networks and migration flows, of people, goods, money and information. From the point of architecture and planning it is crucial to note that it is not only an issue of sheer accommodation, but first and foremost of the production of new spaces indeed, a process which feeds off our cities, communities and regions, e.g. the industries of real estate and tourism. Architecture and planning are definitely not in control here, they are sidelined by the new eco-systems that produce their own regimes, flows, fall-out and environments. These eco-systems are not quite as harmonious as the very term might suggest. Eco-systems are entropic systems: while one dies and the other is emergent, they live off each other.  Richard Vijgen, Architecture of Radio, 2015. Image © Juuke Schoorl Hence, the emerging new spatial configurations are not just about free interaction, exchange and events through polycentric, labyrinthian networks as so many theorized rather optimistically in the 1950s and 60s (Archigram, Constant, Yona Friedman). Next to the new mobility and interconnectivity, they indeed also create new hierarchies and may sustain enclaves, off-the-grid, et cetera. After all, digital switches also imply the options of switching off and logging out, a condition of disconnection, cloaking devices and opacity, something visual artist Femke Herregraven has coined 'geographies of avoidance'.  Diagram of The Stack, 2015. Image © Benjamin Bratton and Metahaven Unsurprisingly then, a critical role for architecture and urban planning is not so easy to delineate in this ongoing development. As design disciplines they are instrumental in helping to support and bring into the world this 'accidental megastructure'. Yet, their impact seems to be much more profound on the level of theory and language: architecture and urban planning contribute the models, concepts and metaphors (for instance the one of megastructure), by which it becomes possible to (re)think, visualize and imagine the ubiquitous conglomerate of ICT-infrastructures and their impact. The question of visualizing contemporary 'totalizing' regimes of technology and space is most urgent from the point of view of democratic, open societies. Such visualization would enable a reframing of the 'polis' and the so-called 'body politic', be it a nation, a city or otherwise, as to understand where we are and how to inhabit and traverse the spaces of digital communication.  "Total Space" Total Space is an ongoing research project of the Jaap Bakema Study Centre (JBSC), that'll produce program and public presentation at Het Nieuwe Instituut (formerly the NAi) in the coming years. It takes a closer look at the international dimensions of structuralism and cross-disciplinary exchange between the fields of architecture, planning, systems theory and anthropology. It also aims to connect the recent history of the 20th century with speculations on the future of our lifestyles in the 21st Century city. The JBSC is a research center, founded by Het Nieuwe Instituut and Delft University of Technology, headed by Dirk van den Heuvel, and based in Rotterdam at Het Nieuwe Instituut.
