 © Valentino Nicola From the architect. REPAIR WORK Certain Alpine constructions are built according to the same principles that we seek to apply in architecture today.  © Valentino Nicola We aim to preserve and pursue the functional, essential character of their building methods and aesthetics, especially when dealing with renovation.  Diagram For that reason we feel "repair work" can well sum up Clinicaurbana's approach to renovation in this field.  © Valentino Nicola CONTEXT The restoration of "Casa Gianìn" forms part of a larger project involving several rustic buildings in the village of Coi in the Zoldo valley in the Dolomites. These buildings make a substantial contribution to the appearance of a typical man-made Alpine environment. They are a precious testimony to the usages and practices of a vanished way of life, inviting us to design in a way that cares for what is extant.  © Valentino Nicola PROJECT The project takes the form of "repair work" both to buildings and landscape. The object of the renovation and extension was to create three completely independent residential units.  Section The original stone-built house has been entirely preserved, eliminating all the more recent additions, and restored to its status as a significant village 'landmark'. The newly-built extension is independent both in form and function.  © Valentino Nicola The new building reinterprets the established pattern of rural architecture in the valley: a larch-wood structure with lattice-work openings built over a stone substructure.  Section Product Description. As with the old tabià, the exterior cladding is in untreated larchwood. Larch was chosen since it can improve with age, both in technical performance and in appearance, reducing the need for non-routine maintenance to a minimum.  © Valentino Nicola Larch is thus the main material used in construction, readily available in the valley and prepared by a local workforce familiar with all the secrets of these materials.  Diagram Concern for sustainability not only covered the material aspects, for example by making use of low-impact construction technology, but also the entire construction process, including socio-cultural aspects and the promotion of traditional local craft skills.  © Valentino Nicola This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Adam Letch From the architect. OVD525 is a private home located in Bantry Bay, Cape Town. The steep mountainside site boasts un-disturbed views over Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard and Robben Island to the north and north-east. The city is seen in the distance towards the east and the iconic Lion's Head Mountain towers over the house from the south. Western views take advantage of spectacular ocean-sunsets.  © Adam Letch The owner had been living on the site in a home he built 10 years prior to our meeting. After bravely taking our advice to demolish the existing structure, the brief could be re-constructed and the design that followed tailored to the needs of the client and to unlocking the full potential of this privileged site while creating complete privacy from nearby neighbours.  © Adam Letch  © Adam Letch The house was conceived as a series of horizontal slabs containing gardens, decks and pools which slide between two massy, shielding vertical elements at the flanking ends. These are constructed in planked, textured shuttered concrete and expressed internally in different ways; as a tactile and visual backdrop to bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces, for display and storage, and as elements from which to carve out fireplaces and other features. Living spaces are formed in the voids between these slabs.  © Adam Letch The master suite dramatically cantilevers over the external entertainment and pool area in order to capitalize on the views. It creates the planked concrete soffit of the main living level as it stretches out towards the horizon.  © Adam Letch  Section  © Adam Letch A more delicate, double-skin screen - with integrated garage panels – is suspended over the entry forecourt and provides a dynamic street façade offering privacy whilst allowing light penetration and glimpses out towards the mountain from internal spaces behind.  © Adam Letch The architecture of this home has a restrained, natural material palette, and is respectful of the importance of the ever-changing city and ocean vistas. The house is conceived, detailed and finished in an understated and unadorned manner, creating calm, flowing spaces that are easy to live in.  © Adam Letch This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Garden House Shirowa / Szki Architects Posted: 04 Feb 2017 12:00 PM PST  © Katsuya Suzuki
 © Katsuya Suzuki From the architect. Szki architects designed GardenHouse Shirowa in Japan. It's built an annex right next to the main building where their parents live in side of the same housing lot. Because limited amount of housing lots are available in the area and price of each lot is expensive upon the people's needs after Japan's earthquake in 2011.  Site Plan In order to utilize of the yard on the south side compactly while letting the sunshine to the main building, the annex was built on the south edge of the site and buried under the ground and minimize the floor height. On this house extending project, the annex was designed to connect to the two rooms in the western side of the main building which were not in use for a long time also the family can be access two from the balcony. Also the rooftop was designed to create a new garden.  © Katsuya Suzuki Product Description. Double-sided heat insulation is applied on the exterior walls but exposed concrete is applied on the interior walls. Tie holes is used as hangings and adding colors to the family's daily life.

| This Kickstarter Camera Mimics Human Eyesight Posted: 04 Feb 2017 08:00 AM PST  via Kickstarter. Courtesy of TwoEyes Tech The team at TwoEyes Tech made up of HunJoo Song, SeonAh Kim, and Vivek Soni has launched a kickstarter campaign for its TwoEyes VR 360 camera, which is the first binocular 360-degree VR, 4K camera that mirrors human eye sight. Using two pairs of 180-degree lenses that are placed 65 millimeters apart—the average distance between a person's eyes—the camera captures 360-degree footage, "just like your natural eyes would view the world." This footage can be uploaded to 360-degree-compatible social media platforms like YouTube 360, Facebook 360, and Twitter 360, or enjoyed through virtual reality binoculars or 3D television.
After reaching its goal of $40,000 on Kickstarter, the project set three stretch goals for 150, 200, and 300 thousand dollars. The TwoEyes kickstarter campaign closes on Sunday, February 26.

| Curry Stone Design Prize Recognizes 7 Practices for Strides in Social Housing Posted: 04 Feb 2017 06:00 AM PST In honour of its 10th anniversary, the Curry Stone Design Prize will recognize a large group of the world's most socially conscious and active design practices, in what the Foundation has coined as the Social Design Circle. Over the course of the year, 100 firms will be added to the Circle for their sustainable, socially inclusive and impactful design work, under twelve specific themes. Each month, select firms' work will be highlighted individually on the Prize's website, while also featuring on the Curry Stone Foundation's new podcast, Social Design Insights. The following seven practices were selected for the month of February, in response to the theme "Is The Right to Housing Real?": Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR)  © Community Architects Network (CAN) Established in 1988 in response to evictions prior to the Summer Olympics in South Korea, the Asian Coalition is a group of NGOs, architects, and engineers striving for decent housing for impoverished communities. Viewing housing as a fundamental human necessity, the coalition has worked across 215 cities in Asia to tackle problems faced by communities of all scales, in the face of rapid urbanization. Recent projects include the Asian Coalition for Community Action Program (ACCA), which aids the poor in the management of their own developments, thereby acknowledging design and planning skills possessed by local impoverished communities.  © Brian Rose San Francisco-based firm David Baker + Partners specializes in adaptive reuse, affordable housing, and green building. Since 1982, the firm has designed over 10,000 living units, which includes 6,000 affordable units in the San Francisco Bay Area, receiving considerable recognition in over 250 awards. DBA's philosophy preaches a transparent approach to social housing, with the intention of uniting all members of the community and its corresponding socio-economic spectrum, as opposed to creating stigmas and barriers through perceived threats that are often associated with supportive housing.  © Michael Priest Photography Formerly known as Common Ground, Breaking Ground has become the United States' largest provider of supportive housing, offering a variety of amenities in addition to shelter, including job training, drug and alcohol counseling, and social support. The organization aims to address the issue of recidivism, in which families are often evicted from shelters as soon as possible. Since its inception, Breaking Ground has recognized the multi-faceted nature of homelessness and has thus achieved much success in providing stability through permanent homes for families. .jpg?1486010068 "© Rodrigo Pereda") © Rodrigo Pereda New York-based firm Jonathan Kirschenfeld Architects PC specializes in environmentally and socially sustainable urban projects, many of which have been realized as a combination of supportive housing and social services to combat chronic homelessness in New York. The firm specifically focuses on repurposing underutilized plots of civic land dedicated towards private development, in order to revitalize neighborhoods. Kirschenfeld is also the founder of the Institute for Public Architecture, a non-profit organization advocating for socially responsible architecture through research.  © Phillipe Ruault Well-known for its refurbishment of post-war housing developments, Lacaton & Vassal began its practice with the publication of PLUS: Large Scale Housing – An Exceptional Case, a manifesto opposing the French government's intended demolition of social housing blocks. Since then, the Paris-based firm has promoted the advantages of repurposing, rather than demolishing architecture, as a sustainable and ecological alternative to new construction. Their work continues to oppose fervent gentrification of the city and includes the restoration of modernist housing complexes in Paris, Saint-Nazaire, and Bordeaux.  © Kraftwerk1 Formed as a result of various housing crises affecting Zurich in the 80s and 90s that led to forced evictions of citizens, Kraftwerk1 is a logical derivation of the utopian "bolo'bolo" or "tribe". Organization is a key element in the design collective's work, which often gains access to land in unwanted areas of the city after brokering deals with owners looking to be rid of the vacant plots. Though Kraftwerk1 projects have been designed by different architects, they all offer tenants various shared amenities, such as kindergartens, restaurants, and shops.  © L'Oeuf Architects L'Office de l'Éclectisme Urbain et Fonctionnel is a design practice widely known for its achievements in sustainable architecture and urban renovation while adopting a philosophy focussing on a balance of affordability, ecological efficiency, and architectural detail. L'Oeuf's work investigates the relationship between user occupation of a building and the surrounding environment, at a variety of scales. Recent projects include the firm's successful endeavors at the Benny Farm site in Notre-Dame de Grace, which is the world's first government-subsidized, community renewal project for green affordable housing, the efforts documented in a recently published book Community-Inspired Housing in Canada. Each firm will feature in February episodes of Social Design Insights, hosted by Prize Director Emiliano Gandolfi, and author, architect and post-disaster specialist, Eric Cesal. The following twelve topics will be discussed on the podcast, over the course of the year:

| Pärnu Stadium / Kamp Arhitektid Posted: 04 Feb 2017 05:00 AM PST  © Terje Ugandi
 © Terje Ugandi From the architect. Since 1923, there have been various sports facilities at the location of the new beach stadium in Pärnu.  © Terje Ugandi A highly modern-lookiwng grandstand designed by architect O. Siinmaa and engineer N. Leyden was opened there in 1933, which became one of the masterpieces of Estonian wood functionalism. In 1981, the grandstand building was pulled down and a replacement designed by A. Pähna was built in its place, which by the first decade of the 21st century had depreciated and was pulled down in 2015.  © Terje Ugandi In terms of urban development, the new grandstand lies in a unique location – there are no directly dictating buildings either on the western or the eastern side, to the north of the stadium there are wooden summer villas built at the beginning of the last century but they are far enough from the grandstand. The only building that has a direct effect on the grandstand lies to the south – the Pärnu Beach Hotel located on the beach, designed by architect O. Siinmaa and an exemplary example of Estonian functionalism. To the south of the grandstand there is also Pärnu's main tourist attraction – Pärnu Beach – which is about 120 m away.  © Terje Ugandi At the same time the whole area has the unique resort-town atmosphere so characteristic of Pärnu and the Pärnu Beach Promenade.  Section We have tried to convey the same feeling with this new grandstand. The proportion of the slender, almost 1:10 plan is passed on to the entire form of the building, which is airy, sharp and brisk. The facades from white concrete support the delicate facades of the Beach Hotel but do not compete with them. The wooden facade with its powerful yet delicate wooden cantilever refer to Siinmaa's wooden functionalist stadium building of former times.  © Terje Ugandi The functionalist scheme of the building is simple. The spectators' paths never cross the athletes moving around in the same building. On the ground floor, there are dressing rooms and showers for the athletes, rooms for coaches and auxilliary rooms, including a 4m-wide tartan-covered corridor extending 62 metres in length. The doping control area with toilets and a laboratory are also located there. Technical equipment and storage space with a commercial area have been planned along the Kuuse Street side. The grandstand opens itself to the spectators on Lehe Street and Kuuse Street with wide stairways leading to the stands of the stadium building. Visually, the cantilevered awnings above the flights of stairs form large-scale funnels which attract people to look inside. The entrance stairway leads to the stands and a pedestrian area for spectators where administrative rooms and reporter's booths are also located. The accommodation block for athletes is situated on the 1st floor on the Ranna puiestee side, which opens to the sea with its balconies. All 1500 stand seats are located under a cantilevered awning, in longest point with an unsupported span of 28 m.  © Terje Ugandi This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Competition Winning Stadium Design Promotes Inclusivity in Dunkirk, France Posted: 04 Feb 2017 04:00 AM PST  The stadium is located in the heart of Dunkirk. Image Courtesy of Viktor Fretyán The SOCKEEL + OLGGA consortium have won a competition to design the new Tribut Stadium in Dunkirk, France. The historic stadium, in a prominent location on a canal bank in central Dunkirk, will be transformed into a 5,000 seat stadium seeking to maximize inclusiveness and accessibility.  Movement through the transparent lattice animates the streetfront. Image Courtesy of Viktor Fretyán The proposed scheme adopts a simple elliptical form, with a profile gently sloping towards the canal. A timber lattice 'mask' façade envelopes the stadium, acting as the unifying element across the large footprint. The façade animates the surrounding streets, with the lattice's transparency revealing activity within the stadium, whilst a second skin shields spectators from prevailing winds and rain.

Image Courtesy of Viktor Fretyán The design team values the importance of public space and accessibility in the 'city stadium.' A large plaza forms a link between the canal and stadium entrance, with its concrete surface animated by large circular steel plates and blocks of planting. Spectators entering via the concourse are directed towards the north and south stands. The stands are linked at the upper levels by a wide peripheral walkway, creating more space for public interaction, and offering views across the city of Dunkirk.  Proposed elevations.

| PRODUCE Workshop Debuts Plywood-based "Fabricwood" Pavilion for Herman Miller's Shop-in-Shop Posted: 04 Feb 2017 01:30 AM PST  Courtesy of PRODUCE Workshop Furniture and design retailer XTRA's new flagship store in Singapore's Marina Square includes a Herman Miller "Shop-in-Shop" that draws inspiration from the furniture it showcases. Encircling the space is a 20-meter arched structure that, from a distance, gives the appearance of tufted fabric pulled taught over a frame. But in fact, this structure is built from a plywood "skin" that designer Pan Yicheng of PRODUCE Workshop has dubbed "fabricwood."  © Edward Hendricks  © Edward Hendricks In conceiving this material, PRODUCE drew inspiration from Herman Miller chairs, which use molded plywood and elastic mesh to create an ergonomic, frameless structure. The plywood element in the Shop-in-Shop is actually composed of 280 panels that bend and fold to form a shape with a minimal frame structure that echoes the iconic Herman Miller HM logo.  Initial soap film model for the pavilion. Image Courtesy of PRODUCE Workshop  © Edward Hendricks Processing wood to look like fabric is no simple feat. The procedure begins with drawing a CNC pattern on flat plywood. Yicheng and his team employ a tailoring technique called darting to cut slits from the surface, allowing the wood to bend in the same way fabric conforms to the body. These slits are then "stitched" closed with cable ties, with rivets connecting the edges of the modular panels.
Finally, two layers of plywood are connected together with wooden dowels and rivets to give thickness to the walls. A combination of physical and computer modeling simulate the geometry of the final 3D form. The end result is a billowing structure that looks almost upholstered. .jpg?1486048343 "Prototype of the Fabricwood system. Image Courtesy of PRODUCE Workshop") Prototype of the Fabricwood system.

Image Courtesy of PRODUCE Workshop Yicheng attempted a similar project for XTRA and Herman Miller in 2012, where he layered interlocking plywood triangles to create a mesh shell. This 2016 version was, according to the designer, "more demanding to conceptualize and prototype," but still incorporates the warmth and lightness that wood provides.

 © Michele Mascalzoni From the architect. M house is placed in a little hill surrounded by vineyards, in the southern Garda, close to the town and only a few steps away from the Natural Reserve of the Frassino Lake.  © Michele Mascalzoni This amazing natural Environment, enriched by the silent presence of the Mount Baldo, provide us the inspiration for the project.  Diagram The two overlapping volumes in shape of "L", rotated between them, define the spaces of the house and they suggest the directions where to redirect the glance: the one at the bottom offers a view of the countryside towards the Frassino Lake, while the one above is turned towards North, watching the Mount Baldo and the Garda Lake.  © Marco Campolongo The interaction between the two volumes generates a patio and a large porch that provide shadow and protection to the spaces of the ground floor. These outdoor living areas are directly connected to the living room by a big glass window that allows a visual continuity between outside and inside spaces.  The aim of this strategy is not just to find the right point of view, but also to "split" the programme into two areas, one more public open onto the patio and a more "intimate" and contained one. If the upper wooden clad (larch) volume shows the structural soul of the building and mitigates the relationship between the house and the landscape, in the same time the "anchored" lower one gives support and stability to the house.  © Marco Campolongo In terms of programmatic organization the ground floor contains the living area and garage, while the second floor contains three bedrooms and a studio. The master bedroom features a corner window with an unique view of the countryside.  Floor Plan The building is built entirely of wood using the x-lam technology providing material improvement in execution time and drastically reducing the environmental impact.  © Michele Mascalzoni This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| de Architekten Cie. and FELIXX's Competition-Winning Transformation of Chelyabinsk Posted: 04 Feb 2017 12:00 AM PST  Development of the Miass river. Image Courtesy of Felixx Landscape Architects and Planners Dutch firm de Architekten Cie, in collaboration with Felixx Landscape Architects and Planners, has won an international competition to transform the historic Russian city of Chelyabinsk. The winning masterplan, chosen by the City Administration of Chelyabinsk from five proposals, seeks to activate the city's existing grid structure and to use it as a vehicle for spatial transformation.  Development of the Miass river. Image Courtesy of Felixx Landscape Architects and Planners Similar to many medium-sized Russian towns, Chelyabinsk has been a victim of urban migration, with younger generations moving from the remote industrial town to urban hubs such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. To reinvigorate the town's appeal, de Architekten Cie. and Felixx propose an upgrade of the existing urban environment, generating interest from young inhabitants in a new, versatile economy.  Proposed panoramic view. Image Courtesy of Felixx Landscape Architects and Planners  The reactivated historic grid. Image Courtesy of Felixx Landscape Architects and Planners Using Chelyabinsk's historic grid structure, the team has made three strategic moves to empower the city. Firstly, the streets forming the urban grid will be upgraded to integrate environmental infrastructure and public transport. Secondly, deteriorated blocks within the grid will be gradually redeveloped, with residential functions relocated to the heart of the city. Finally, key projects will revitalize important urban areas within the city, such as the redevelopment of the Miass riverfront.  Winning design approach.

| ETH Hönggerberg / Tuñón & Ruckstuhl Architects Posted: 03 Feb 2017 09:00 PM PST  © Luis Asín
 © Luis Asín From the architect. The gastronomic pavilion at the ETH Hönggerberg has been conceived as a prism that serves as an architectural filter between the campus and the landscape and serves as a meeting point for teachers, visitors, employees and students, as well as a reception place for international guests. On the south side opening to the campus and on the north side allowing to enjoy a beautiful view over the wide landscape, the building has an open and flexible structure and its series of wood porticoes form an elegant hall.  © Luis Asín Without providing any formal or constructive exaggeration, the new building presents itself as a simple and elegant volume made of wood and glass. Its entire structure is made of prefabricated wood elements and therefore it is completely demountable. The large windows between the series of wooden porticoes can all be widely opened, their frames are made of aluminum painted in white. Between the porticoes comfortable niches are being created which offer the guests privacy and are also a place to enjoy a meal on the interior-exterior threshold.  Exploded Isometric The construction provides two floors. The upper floor contains the restaurant which, thanks to its large window front, is like a view point over the landscape and over the woods of "Hönggerberg". The lower floor which is only visible from the northern side contains all technical spaces, i.e. the kitchen, the storage of food, all the different technical rooms and the restrooms which can be reached by the staircase. On the main floor there is also a wide terrace towards the south. All along its front the white awnings not only protect from the sun but also create an inviting atmosphere for all the guests coming from the campus. The building is structured as a white prism with a great transparency thanks to its glass construction, in the interior guests feel a warm and domestic ambiance created by its wood construction and the elegant textile furniture.  © Luis Asín The organization of the public space on the main floor is structured by a central construction, the core of the restaurant which divides the space into three different ambiances: the coffee bar, the bistro and the main restaurant and event-room. The technical heart of the restaurant, a white oak wood construction, contains the bar, the kitchen à la minute and the vertical connection.  Plan The location of the coffee bar on the southwest side near the main street of the campus is purposely chosen as the coffee bar apt to become the main place of contact, communication and meeting. The bistro, in the north-east of the building, is a linear space which opens to the kitchen on one side and to the view over the landscape on the other. Its proportion allows a division into different smaller sections to accommodate groups. The restaurant à la carte, a large flexible space on the west-side of the building, can be combined with the other parts of the restaurant. The pieces of furniture have been designed specifically for this ambiance and they are all removable. This allows a flexible use of the whole space and it can be used for many different activities, such as aperitifs, dinner parties, concerts, lectures or expositions.  © Luis Asín This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Multi-Family House in Caspärsch / Schwabe Suter Architekten Posted: 03 Feb 2017 06:00 PM PST  © Roman Keller
 © Roman Keller From the architect. The new multi-family house „Caspärsch" is located in the wine-growing village of Jenins at the foot of the mountain „Vilan". The terrain of the plot declines to the south and the view goes to the vineyards of the „Bündner Herrschaft" and the Rhine-Valley of Chur.  © Roman Keller  Ground Floor  © Roman Keller The shape of the house is based on a simple rectangle, which is slightly distorted due to the limiting boundaries of the plot. The kink in the southern facade reduces the size of the volume visually and at the same time the house gets a „face" towards the road. The house consists of two apartments and one duplex-apartment which are horizontally layered. All units are divided into a private sleeping area and a more public living area. Kitchen, dining area, living room and entrée form a free-flowing, continuous space, which is oriented towards the south and southwest and wraps around the spacious loggia. The kitchen is located in the center of the apartment (like in previous forms of housing)  © Roman Keller  Roof Floor  © Roman Keller The constructive structure of the new house refers to the construction of the solid built and stony mansions of the „Bündner Herrschaft". The single layer masonry (which is sufficient for the insulation of the building) is protected by a thick outer layer of plaster. A vertical finish (applied with a broom) refines and ennobles this protective layer. The facade is decorated at specific places with ornaments, which relate directly to the architectural tradition of the village. As an example, the classical doorway pediment is incorporated into the façade in a transformed manner. Another example are the panels in front of the windows, which show motifs of the old handicraft „Sgraffito".  Section This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
