| Vale do Tua Interpretive Center / Rosmaninho+Azevedo Arquitectos Posted: 04 Jan 2019 06:00 PM PST  © Luis Ferreira Alves
 © Luis Ferreira Alves Text description provided by the architects. The Vale do Tua Interpretive Center of (CIVT) is placed in two unoccupied old railway warehouses. Situated in opposite sides of the Douro line, the proposed program was for each of them explored the complementarity and the character of each building.  © Luis Ferreira Alves To intervene in the impressive landscape of Douro is a huge challenge and a great privilege. With this responsibility, we developed the project with the idea of memory and transformation always present, trying to make the reading of the values of the place point to clues for change.  © Luis Ferreira Alves The railway context was a factor of organization of the existing constructions, introducing a longitudinal reading of the whole set (besides all the security constraints).  © Luis Ferreira Alves The intervention in the wooden south building, implied the creation of new external platforms of access and a more assumed design in the treatment of the public space and the connection with the street. This building was recovered from board to board, is now transformed into the large reception space with a complementary program of sanitary facilities and storage installed in a volume/container that does not touch the existing one, allowing the reading of the original space and the appreciation of its structure .  © Luis Ferreira Alves  1st Floor Plan  © Luis Ferreira Alves In the north building, we explore a more direct relationship with the station building that is reflected immediately in the metallic access bridge - which crosses a small existing garden, and a more contemporary approach in the treatment of pre-existence (meanwhile rebuilt after a fire in 2009).  © Luis Ferreira Alves In the interior we developed on the ground floor the space for a long-term exhibition. In the upper floor, the spaces for the educational service and the remaining workspaces were organized on a mezzanine.  South detail In summary, we tried to standardize the two construction times with the continuous skin in corrugated zinc on one side and the wood batten on the other, reinterpreting constructive systems and textures.  © Luis Ferreira Alves This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Parham Taghioff Text description provided by the architects. This villa project is located in a garden area of approximately 500 square meters. According to the client's needs, the project has three levels in which the ground floor and first floor are integrated and designed as a duplex unit and the last floor is designed as two separated units for two separate families.  Ground Floor Plan  First Floor Plan Because the project is located in the garden, we endeavored to bring the best view of the garden for the residents of the last floor. For this purpose, a prominent wooden box has been designed on the second floor that creates an independent yard with an area of 60 square meters with a superb view of the surrounding landscape.  © Parham Taghioff We have a great light and view to the ground floor and the first floor by creating a void with high ceiling and windows with large frames. Also, the usage of wooden materials in the facade creates more harmony with the surrounding nature and greenery and highlights the feeling of being in the nature for the user.  © Parham Taghioff This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

Publicis Groupe is a major European media holding company that has united world famous advertising agencies — Publicis, Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, and several other large media groups. Re:Sources — internal department of the company, which is responsible for the holding's finances and ensuring its functioning.  © Sergey Ananiev The new office of the media holding department is located in the business center Bolshevik on an area of 870 square meters. The task that the architects faced was to convey the attitude of the employees at the expense of expressive means and volumes. Gold bar hovering in the rising sun clouds — became the central element of the design of the whole office. The central element is the reception desk in the form of a gold ingot of 999 samples. Stylized lamps with a soft matte light resemble small clouds — the same theme can be traced in the drawings on the walls.  © Sergey Ananiev  Floor plan  © Sergey Ananiev Working areas of employees are made in open space format; offices are designed for top-managers, special departments, accounting and IT-departments. Large windows (left in the inheritance from the period of use of the building for industrial purposes) provide good insolation. The conversation area is finished with sound-absorbing panels, which allows to comfortably hold meetings and video conferences. In addition to working areas in the office, there are several coffee-points, a full kitchen-dining room and informal communication areas with high sofas and hammocks.  © Sergey Ananiev Considering the historical past of the building, it was decided to leave some of the walls in their original form, preserving the loft style.

| PANPURI Hot Spring / A-ASTERISK Posted: 04 Jan 2019 12:00 PM PST  © W Workspace
 © W Workspace Text description provided by the architects. We have designed Onsen, public bath, for the leading spa brand Panpuri which is located on 12th floor of a high-rise building in Bangkok, Thailand.  © W Workspace When we visited the site first time, we recognized the outdoor view from the site was magnificent. Therefore, we have focused on customers to enjoy the views, not to create decorative interior.  Plan Not to distract the views, the bath tubs are located near the curtainwall in black color scheme with a white frame. The white frame is not only to emphasize the functions of bathing and body washing, it became a frame of the outside view. And in the evening the water surface is lit and reflected to the frame to create a magnificent atmosphere.  © W Workspace  Section  © W Workspace In addition, we have considered technical aspects such as lighting to be less disturbing for night views, additional structural to support the weight of bath, mechanical system to work well under the limited existing conditions.  © W Workspace The view of Bangkok from bath, this is truly a unique experience and symbolized the Panpuri's concept "Your Optimum Self Realized".  © W Workspace This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 Courtesy of Spark Architects Text description provided by the architects. The living room is a place for gathering, a space for parents to spend time with their children and a place for workshops and events. Spatial flexibility, mobility and privacy are key considerations in integrating and layering of key functions such as concierge, event space, library, parents' zone and washroom.  Courtesy of Spark Architects This child's garden of curiosities is set in a forest clearing and is surrounded by 3-dimensional treehouse stages for curated events. The space is illuminated by a canopy of large backlit tree leaves and colourful forest birds sitting on branches. The forest floor is lined with child friendly stepped seating that also houses space for books and cushions in the colours of the KerryOn brand. The colours in hues of orange, yellow, blue and green are used throughout in the spirit of a fun place to be.  Courtesy of Spark Architects Activities like parent-child yoga, arts and crafts workshops, movie screenings and marketing launches are held in the forest clearing. A large artwork and projection wall faces the clearing and is visible from the entrance to "the living room" an attractor of curious passersby.  Axonometric Treehouses  Courtesy of Spark Architects The "parents' menagerie" terraced seating with locker storage is a hangout space where parents can watch and engage with activities. The area also contains an information panel and vending machine.

 © Carmen Troesser Text description provided by the architects. The existing two-story masonry building was an outlier on the street of mostly single and multi-family buildings. Clearly a former shopkeeper building with a retail space on the ground floor and a residential apartment situated above; this is just the building type we enjoy working with – an odd building that needed a second life. During our research, we discovered that the ground floor was most likely a butcher shop complete with a Bromann Brothers cooler which had been preserved. The cooler is a free element that acts as a divider for our clients shop space, separating the work area from the rest of the living space. The main program centered around adding a master suite to the second floor of the existing floor plan consisting of two bedrooms and one bathroom. The solution was to form a cantilevered, modern Corten (aka weathering steel) addition at the rear of the structure with a double height bedroom, bathroom and a private deck.  © Carmen Troesser BUILDING MASSING FOR SHADE AND RAINWATER  © Carmen Troesser MODERN CORTEN ADDITION SIDING  Design Sketches 01 THE CORNER STORE  © Carmen Troesser This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| K41 Office Building / ÇaArquitectura Posted: 04 Jan 2019 08:00 AM PST  © Gonzalo Viramonte
 © Gonzalo Viramonte Text description provided by the architects. The K41 office park is the first business center in the western corridor of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Located 41 kilometers from the city center, K41 offers a large service hub and accompanies the creation of sub-centralities, revitalizing and transforming the centralist system of the megalopolis.  Axonometry Central to the building is a covered grand hall, with three large office wings that form patios on each side of the hall, offering dynamic spaces for expansion. On the top floor, the building proposes offices with an important relationship with outside spaces.  © Gonzalo Viramonte The central hall that links the three floors and the terrace is presented as a large open space that takes on a form. This space is occupied by the repeated traverse of the staircase, stitching empty spaces together and promoting dynamic and unexpected interactions between floors.  © Gonzalo Viramonte  Perspective Section 1 The metal staircase is formed from two large ribbons that travel the entire hall. The movements of the staircase are simple, but their juxtaposition generates complex spaces. The dimensions of the staircase convert it into a new space that is not part of any one floor, offering new ways of interacting.  © Gonzalo Viramonte  Perspective Section 2 The relationship between the office program and the public space proposed by the building permit the construction of a workplace that can respond to the needs of the globalized labor world and to the reality of suburban areas. In this way accompanying the construction of more dynamic and interconnected cities that attain new networks and juxtapositions of use.  © Gonzalo Viramonte This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Zerezes / Tavares Duayer Arquitetura Posted: 04 Jan 2019 06:00 AM PST  © Ilana Bessler
 © Ilana Bessler Text description provided by the architects. Rethink, surprise and subvert the aesthetic and functional logic of traditional optical stores. Overall, the challenge was to transform traditional sunglasses and eyeglasses sales to new perspectives of product exposure and customer-production approach. As crucial as the conceptual design, the cost of the work was the guiding line for most architectural decisions. The estimated starting price for each square meter of work should correspond to 60% less than the average market cost.  © Ilana Bessler The perception of the product as well as the layout of the store should refer to art galleries: neutral base for product exposure and production storytelling.  Plan As "pixels" on the wall, the types and names of the glasses would replace the traditional shelves and / or display cabinets. Texts applied to the walls would show curiosities about the brand and the products.  © Ilana Bessler Due to reduced budget, we decided to apply most of the resources in two fronts –entrance hall and "Gallery". We used gypsum plaster, cement for floor and stairs, and led lighting. On the hall, the goal was to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. An area of low light, with plants, and pictures on the wall, and Peroba wood on the floor should convey an idea of "home". Apart from the main floor and the entrance hall, we also designed the underground space, which received a pinewoods structure as base to photographic exhibitions.  © Ilana Bessler The "great idea" of the project was the so-called FLOATING GALLERY. An “exhibition tunnel”, loose on all sides, with predominant lighting in regard to other spaces of the store, should stand out and stimulate the curiosity of pedestrians at the street. The perspective of the box and the illumination design conduct the gaze and direction of the flow. Due to the experience inside the store, it is possible to understand some of the history of how the glasses are produced and experiment products in different mirrors. Immediately behind the counter, we set the stock. To solve doubts about quantity of models stocked while in the clients area, we used a translucent panel. Thus, it is possible to have control without having to move there. An acrylic weave separates the stockpiled collections into cardboard boxes. In the lower floor, a free plant allows multiple uses, from photographic exhibitions, classes and events.  © Ilana Bessler In order for each project to have uniqueness, timelessness, fidelity to branding and customer expectations, we are committed to creative collaborative processes. The designers and owners of the brand participated in a significant way in this project: they were responsible for the co-creation of the furniture. From architecture to furniture, concern for non-waste was present. The original structure of the store has been preserved and totally exploited to contribute aesthetically to the final ambience.  © Ilana Bessler This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Federico Babina's "Archivoids" Depicts the Invisible Masses left by Famous Architects Posted: 04 Jan 2019 05:00 AM PST  © Federico Babina Italian artist Federico Babina has published the latest in his impressive portfolio of architectural illustrations. "Archivoid" seeks to "sculpt invisible masses of space" through the reading of negatives – using the architectural language of famous designers past and present, from Frank Lloyd Wright to Bjarke Ingels. Babina's images create an inverse point of view, a reversal of perception for an alternative reading of space, and reality itself. Making negative space his protagonist, Babina traces the "Architectural footprints" of famous architects, coupling mysterious geometries with a vibrant color scheme.

| Pacífico Sur Club / Nikolas Briceño arquitecto Posted: 04 Jan 2019 04:00 AM PST  © Renzo Rebagliati
 © Renzo Rebagliati Text description provided by the architects. The Pacífico Sur Club, which was founded in the 60s in Lima´s coast, has a surfing tradition. Seventy five percent of its associates practice this sport: surfing defines what the sea means to them. As it usually occurs with other buildings of the time, it became necessary to formulate a series of changes that would cover the new needs of the associates.  Scheme Section The changes had to be respectful with the essence of the club, that is: its unique character and the contact with the sea. Every change had to be careful in improving the functional aspect, as well as strengthening the spaces. New materials to match with the already existent were to be implemented.  © Renzo Rebagliati The club didn´t count with an adequate gymnasium. It only had, from its beginnings, a small area in the basement with no posible view to the sea to fulfill the need. That is why the proposal considered, as a main objective, to provide the new gymnasium with a direct visual contact with the sea. The space designated was an old court wall no longer in use. The location in a high part of the club allowed a perfect view of the sea.  Plan The project is born as a response to four issues:-  © Renzo Rebagliati • Make the most of the square meters available. In this way, the gymnasium would count with a basic plan.  Conceptual Scheme According to the four issues, a light construction of two naves was proposed. One principal transparent nave looking at the sea with a metallic structure would be set for the work equipment. A second more hermetic nave, built in drywall, would contain the complementary services: restroom, sauna, dressing room, massage room, storing room. The two naves separated by a wall painted in blue to give order to the two different uses: a public one and a more private one.  © Renzo Rebagliati River stone, existing in a great part of the original architecture, was used for the frontal window box with green plants. Other materials of a low cost were used: polished finish, drywall, recycled wood from installations of the club. The interior metallic structure is composed by “H” shaped columns crossed by small beams to assure the rigidity and to carry the whole illumination system.  © Renzo Rebagliati The formal idea of the project wanted an architecture that would be felt as part of the whole, as if tied to the rest.That is why the existent cement floor was enlarged towards both sides creating a “U” shape to contain the new building. The perimeter walls were inclined to give some movement to the proposal. The same concept was used for the river stone window box in all the front and for the gable roof of the principal nave allowing a good air circulation. Thus, the project was successful.  © Renzo Rebagliati This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Loja Alimentar / Ateliê de Arquitetura Líquida Posted: 04 Jan 2019 02:00 AM PST  © Bruno Meneghitti
 © Bruno Meneghitti Text description provided by the architects. Located in the city center of Juiz de Fora, Alimentar Store aims to offer to consumers two strands of nutriment products: an enteral nutrition aimed at the hospital branch and natural food products, to the general public.  © Bruno Meneghitti The architectural project started from the perception of these two distinct markets integrated in the same physical space. In the initial part of the store, designated to the hospital products, the proposal is a real "dip" in white, where exhibitors and light materials were chosen to recreate the medical atmosphere. By crossing this space, the user immerses himself in a non-orthogonal wooden box, which invites him to the warmth and return of our roots, which is natural and lasting essence. Using the naval plywood to create this "box", we tried to value the materials in the way they are, in fact, reflecting on the user experience.  © Bruno Meneghitti
 © Bruno Meneghitti It was thought of the store as a set of units, taking care of every wall, every detail, in order to create a unique characteristic for the spaces. All the furniture was designed by the architects and made of woodwork and metal, including the tile panel that completes the area dominated by the wood, praising it due to the contrast between the materials. This design was created exclusively for the project, with stickers produced and fixed on each of the white tiles, sculpting a unique and personal mosaic, forming an artistic panel with the company's colors.  © Bruno Meneghitti The Atelier was inspired to rethink/create/innovate in front of unconventional materials, for a distinct, artistic and unique architecture. In addition to the use of plywood as a wall and ceiling coating, the front display and luminaire gain strength in the environment. Using rigid u-profiles that allow shelving and the use of LED strips in its inside, these elements gain a branched design and stand out in the store's overall context.  © Bruno Meneghitti The overlap concentrates the private areas - pantry, meeting room, office, toilet and storage - in which the same tones and materials found on the first floor were used, whether by colors, wood or metal. At the request of the customer, this space should be able to be molded to different functions and needs, thus creating two environments separated by sliding doors, which allows them to be joined or separated by these plans, generating users' space appropriation dynamics.

| Allied Works' New Museum in Columbus is Designed for the History of The Future Posted: 04 Jan 2019 01:30 AM PST  © Aerial Impact Solutions, via Autodesk Redshift This article was originally published by Autodesk's Redshift publication as "Design and History Join Forces at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum." In the years before his death, the late Marine, astronaut, and US Senator John Glenn had a vision to create a place of gathering and remembrance for veterans of all conflicts. It would not be a traditional war memorial or military museum, but a place that would honor veterans and promote civic discourse, sharing stories of service through interactive exhibits, oral histories, images, and personal artifacts.
Now, that vision has taken form in the National Veterans Memorial and Museum, the centerpiece of a 56-acre, multimillion-dollar master plan in a revitalized district of Columbus, Ohio, spearheaded by the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC). The new national museum was designed by Allied Works Architecture, with OLIN serving as landscape architecture firm and Ralph Appelbaum Associates as exhibition designer. The museum is a stunning achievement: a whopping 28 million pounds of concrete cast into concentric rings that spiral upward from the earth in a single gesture of building and landscape. The museum aims to anchor a new cultural core for the city, developed alongside the expanded and refurbished COSI (Columbus' Center of Science and Industry) and a 21-acre, mixed-use neighborhood featuring residential, retail, office, and hotel spaces. This former site of the Franklin County Veterans Memorial will be transformed into a pilgrimage destination for the nearly 21 million living US military veterans, their families, and the public, says Amy Taylor, chief operating officer of the CDDC. The Evolution of Ideas © MIR Chelsea Grassinger, an associate principal at Allied Works and the project lead for the firm, says that from the start, founding principal Brad Cloepfil and her team wanted "to create a structure that would gently lift the land from this site, forming the processional ramp, culminating in a ceremonial open-air sanctuary, a space for contemplation and memory as well as the end point of the yearly veterans' parade." Laurie Olin, founding partner of OLIN, served in the Army as a company clerk in the 1960s and is the mastermind behind Bryant Park and Columbus Circle in New York City. Olin describes the first time he and Hallie Boyce, partner at OLIN, began their collaboration with the Allied Works team. "We were drawing together one day," Olin says. "Brad and his team had made a curved gesture, a swoop, lifting the landscape up and around the building. We expanded on that idea and drew an elliptical form that ultimately became the Memorial Grove. We looked at it all together and said, 'that's pretty cool.'" While Olin says they still had to work out a lot of details—how the exhibitions galleries would be arranged and programmed, where the bus would drop off guests—they knew they were onto something with the building's spiral form, which not only provided structural strength for the building but also suggested the strength of bonds among veterans.  Early renderings of the project. . Image © MIR Grassinger says these ideas gradually evolved through "extremely close and iterative" collaboration between digital platforms. "The building form and structural geometry were informed by Olin's sculpting of the site on all sides, and likewise, the building helped to describe and refine paths as they connect arrival points along Broad street and to the grove," she says. A Path Into Protected Spaces © Courtesy Brad Feinknopf/National Veterans Memorial and Museum, via Autodesk Redshift The harmony between the museum's indoor and outdoor spaces is among its most distinctive qualities. Glass curtain walls allow a view into the permanent exhibition galleries, which hug the curve of the building's concrete rings. These rings "become more closely knit and opaque as one moves closer inward, creating more intimate and protected spaces through the exhibition experience—a sequence we worked on closely with Ralph Appelbaum and his team," Grassinger says. Interior exhibits focus largely on the narrative journeys of veterans and their families. There is a timeline of events from 1775 to the present, a portrait project by combat photographer Stacy Pearsall, films honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans, and 14 thematic alcoves that lead visitors through stages of service—from leaving home to combat to returning home. A short film chronicling the legacies of veterans John Glenn, the late John McCain, and Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth discusses the value of service, and the final film, which is featured in the Service and Citizenship gallery, emphasizes an important theme of the museum: connecting military service to the broader idea of public and community service. "People are going to see that final film, the last thing they see in the museum, and they are going to want to reach out and do something," Taylor says.  © MIR Outside, visitors find a place to decompress: A 2.5-acre Memorial Grove includes a cathedral-like canopy of American elms, a Purple Heart Memorial and Soldier's Cross Memorial, and a stone wall with a series of waterfalls that fall into a reflective pool. Though designated as a contemplative space, the grove is intended as a green respite, a place for visitors to refresh. "It's not about death; it's about life and serving the rich landscape and neighborhood; a place where people can show up with kids or have a picnic when in town from a long ways away," Olin says. "It's a very soothing thing, the sound of the water." The Complexity of CurvesKevin McGuire, BIM (Building Information Modeling) coordinator for Baker Concrete Construction, says, "the geometry of the super structure alone was remarkably complex, consisting of intricate concrete arches that were curved in both the vertical and horizontal planes." In order to dissect this complex information and present it in a constructible format, the team used Autodesk AutoCAD software to calculate dimensions, pinpoint locations of each opening and embedded steel plate, and extract the vertical concrete faces and flatten them to create templates that were used to detail, fabricate, and install the reinforcing required to support the building.  © Courtesy Brad Feinknopf/National Veterans Memorial and Museum, via Autodesk Redshift "Since the contract documents had very few dimensions, the architects provided the model; it was reworked and coordinated with each building trade," McGuire says. "We couldn't have done this project without AutoCAD modeling software; the model, once geometrically approved by the architect, became the legal contract document to the building." The building's curving, undulating geometry made layout extremely difficult, McGuire explains. "To solve this, we used Autodesk Point Layout, which allowed us to set up job control and export points directly from the model to on-site robotic total stations, from which field crews could build to the exact coordinates in the model." For Lieutenant General Michael Ferriter (US Army, retired), president and CEO of the museum, the end result is a national treasure where the commemoration and honor of veterans' service will resonate far beyond its walls. "This is a platform not just for the 300,000 visitors a year in foot traffic, but through digital learning, traveling exhibits, and online content, reaching a potential audience of 3 to 5 million people," he says. "Now the spirit of innovation, creativity, and nerve requisite of veterans can be brought to Columbus and infused into the community nationwide." Olin is equally pleased. "I think a lot of people, partly as a result of the backlash of Vietnam, still don't appreciate veterans," he says. "Veterans feel pretty unloved, and the idea of doing something concrete for them meant a lot to me."  © OLIN/National Veterans Memorial and Museum, via Autodesk Redshift This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| SO? Unveils Prototype Floating Emergency Structure in Istanbul Posted: 04 Jan 2019 01:00 AM PST  © SO? Istanbul-based practice SO? have designed and built a prototype floating structure for post-earthquake relief. "Fold&Float" is formed of a light, foldable steel structure specifically designed for emergency situations. Developed off the back of emergency assembly points being designated by the authorities in 2001, SO? questioned where people could be housed in the event of an earthquake. The question has gained added significance in the last 20 years, with Istanbul having privatized 70% of the land set aside for emergency assembly. The result was a floating structure that depends not on vacant, stable land, but on managing water.
Fold&Float is composed of two main parts: an upper structure will fixed, folded furniture, and a floating concrete pontoon. The attention to quality of living within the structure is derived from research suggesting that earthquake and flooding victims spend at least one year in temporary housing following a disaster.  © SO?
 © SO? The prototype Fold&Float is currently in operation at the Earth School satellite at the Rahmi M. Koc Museum in Istanbul.  © SO? The structure's development coincides with the Hope On Water education project organized at the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial, a collaboration between civil engineering and sociology students from Boğaziçi University and architecture students from MEF University.  © SO?

 © Sergio Belinchon Text description provided by the architects. Punta de Mar is a startup that emerges from an idea of the Mano de Santo architecture team, and that KMZero Open Innovation Hub, has been responsible for developing and promoting as a business.  © Sergio Belinchon
 © Sergio Belinchon A floating accommodation that provides a unique experience of integration with the  © Sergio Belinchon A 360º experience thanks to the design and the technology used as a tool that helps us get even closer to nature. Würth, Technal, Simon, Guardian Glass and Gira are strategic allies in this project participating in the technical development of this which uses technology and innovation to bring nature closer to the user.
With a total area of 74 m2, the pavilion is designed for the enjoyment of two people and is divided into two floors, whose design and equipment is minimalist to achieve a deeper and more authentic connection with the destination in which it is located. The first of them, 40 m2, has a stateroom with bathroom and a private terrace, continuing to the interior space. For its part, the second floor is a Chill-Out deck of about 34 m2 that has an area designed for relaxation and comfort of the guests. Both spaces have lighting and piped music, adaptable to the client's taste.  © Sergio Belinchon Precisely one of the most innovative points of this initiative is the control of the experience by the user. Through an app, the guest can decide on all domotic aspects of the room. That is, lighting, sound, air conditioning or aromas, among others.  © Sergio Belinchon Committed to sustainability Punta de Mar is a sustainable tourism initiative, since it does not generate waste because it is an installation of modules whose system is the 'Plug & Go'. In addition, it is integrated into the environment and its materials are of low environmental impact. Another of the strong points is the installation, which is immediate and relocatable, since it can be transported by land and towed by sea, which offers the possibility of lodging it in different natural areas in which to live unique and exclusive experiences.

 Courtesy of Tommaso Bisogno + BC architects & studies Text description provided by the architects. The Preschool of Aït Ahmed integrates architectural and landscape design, incorporating community dynamics, bioclimatic and a new vernacular style. In need of educational infrastructure, Goodplanet foundation aims to install a preschool with bioclimatic functioning, as an extension to the existing school building. The building is inspired by a new vernacular from local typologies, materials, and techniques, with a contemporary look, performant bio-climatic functioning and earthquake-proof design.  Courtesy of Tommaso Bisogno + BC architects & studies The preschool is implemented on the highest level of the compound, and gives way to a landscaped strip of playground area with benches and swings, going down the compound. The playground strip creates zones of open play area between strip and compound wall: football area, outside class area, playground area for small kids, playground area for bigger kids.  Courtesy of Tommaso Bisogno + BC architects & studies  Axonometry  Courtesy of Tommaso Bisogno + BC architects & studies The preschool itself is pentagonal to open up space outside in relation to rectangular compound walls and to create round space inside which can support alternative teaching techniques such as roundtable teaching. The area is known for lime production, as well as natural stone, resulting in the choice for lime mortared stone masonry. The roof is made of tadelakt of lime on a base of earth-lime. The interior finishing is made of polished "nouss-nouss", a "half-half" of earth and lime to create a breathable interior plaster which diffuses in indirect sunlight.  Section Detail The southwest façade has a cavity wall for insulation and a big thermal mass, making the building cool during the day, but warmer through the night until the morning. The northwest to southeast façades have window openings with diagonal reveals to let in a maximum of sunlight. The building is made to confirm the earthquake norms of Morocco, with concrete columns next to façade openings.

| The Beauty of Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year Through 15 Projects Posted: 03 Jan 2019 09:00 PM PST  Fernando Guerra. ImageCasa Vermelha / extrastudio A few days ago, the Pantone Color Institute ended the annual suspense of fashionistas and color connoisseurs everywhere by announcing its 2019 Color of the Year: Living Coral. Described by the Institute as "an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge," [1] PANTONE 16-1546 will surely be seen throughout the new year and perhaps in places you wouldn't expect. The Color of the Year is chosen to reflect the spirit of the times for the year ahead. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, explains that color is "an equalizing lens through which we experience our natural and digital realities" and describes Living Coral as "heartening," "humanizing," and "convivial." [2] Reflecting an overall message of comfort, authenticity, and human togetherness, Pantone brings us optimism and warmth to kick off 2019. To celebrate the announcement of Living Coral as the 2019 Color of the Year, our editorial team has compiled a list of 15 projects already published on ArchDaily that use this unique color in both facades and interiors. Take a look for some colorful inspiration to start the new year! Red House / extrastudio Fernando Guerra. ImageCasa Vermelha / extrastudio Casa Rosa / Mezzo Atelier Fernando Guerra.
