 © Lukas Schaller From the architect. The new building, built beside the old farmhouse, rises among the vineyards overlooking the neustift monastery. The structure grows up from the terrain and rises together with the landscape. It becomes part of nature, integrated with the vineyard and the landscape.  © Lukas Schaller  Floor plan  © Lukas Schaller It's elongated shape follows the hillside morphology creating a courtyard, the new center of the house. An open yet intimate space, a place for the monolith to develop. Raw concrete outside and wooden structures inside. A movement ahead, an opening up, a growth. A play of intermediate spaces, different heights and views over the landscape.  © Lukas Schaller  © Lukas Schaller  © Gustav Willeit  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Bas Princen From the architect. The party walls of a lot in Tielt are raised to their maximum height. On the side toward the street the elevated wall forms a wide entrance. Within this frame stand two identical buildings, mirror images opposite one another, thus defining an inner courtyard.  © Bas Princen The block on the street side contains a store and reception area; the block at the back of the lot contains the less public section, the logistics spaces. The twin buildings are constructed as matter-of- factly as possible out of the typical range of industrial techniques and materials.  Plans + Section The structure consists of thin steel columns and beams, and steel deck floors. Both are clad with a pronounced curtain façade, partly filled in by glass, partly by polycarbonate panels. The courtyard defined by the two volumes functions as a parking and entrance zone.. The remaining space between the footprint of the buildings and the lot lines becomes a whimsical garden, as a complement to their regularity.  © Bas Princen  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Renovation of Captain's House / Vector Architects Posted: 21 May 2017 03:00 PM PDT  © Howard Chan
 © Howard Chan From the architect. Captain's House locates on the southeast end of Huangqi Peninsula, Fujian Province. The damp and erosive nature of seaside caused the unsafety of the existing structure and large-area water leakage during over 20 years of use, which, of course, become the main design issues to be addressed. Furthermore, the captain hopes to add a third floor to the existing structure which can accommodate their current lifestyle.  © Xia Zhi Our design work starts with the study of structural reinforcement. After a series of careful comparisons, we decide to add a layer of 12cm concrete wall to the original brick masonry walls. This strategy brings us extra potential to make a better quality of space.  © Xia Zhi  Section  © Howard Chan Layout The intervention of the new concrete wall allows us to re-manipulate the layout to some extent. Both of the original bathrooms at the first floor and the second floor are moved from the sea-viewing side to the side close to the neighbour, so that the living room, dining room and master bedroom get not only better view but also more natural light and fresh air.  Exploded Axonometric "WIndow-Furniture" System The locations and forms of openings also get carefully reconsidered. The new concrete window frame sticks out from the outside wall, which prevents excessive rainwater from seeping into the window from the wall surface. The thickness is then designed into "window-furniture" system: window is no longer a simple opening, but serves as a medium space situating between nature and the interior space.  © Xia Zhi Vault We choose vault to be the structural form of the third floor. It reduces the possibility of water leakage to an extreme for it barely allows any rainwater to stay. Vault is directional. It connects two sides of sea with dramatically different characters: one being the serene sea whereas the other one being the noisy port. This added floor serves as a multifunctional living space: it accommodates visiting family and friends and functions perfectly as a gym or an activity room as well. Additionally, since the captain's family is Christian, this space is also intended to be a family chapel.  © Howard Chan  Sketch  © Howard Chan At dusk, the gentle light comes out from the translucent glass blocks. We hope the house gradually becomes the carrier of emotion for the captain's family, and gives deserved dignity and decency to the daily life of ordinary people, which is particularly meaningful under the current circumstance of China.  © Xia Zhi  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Armadale House / Robson Rak Architects + Made By Cohen Posted: 21 May 2017 01:00 PM PDT  © Shannon McGrath
 © Shannon McGrath From the architect. The conceptual framework of this project was to transform the clients small dark single fronted Victorian home into an elegant, refined, light filled interior with a large open plan kitchen / living area and adjoining courtyard.  © Shannon McGrath The overall design was kept simple, responding to the modern inner urge to pare back and slow down. With simplicity, each design detail was considered with great precision and needed to be executed beautifully.  © Shannon McGrath  Plan  © Shannon McGrath Details were often subtle, creating a subconscious sense of flow and balance within the space. Working with a simple palate of finishes also gave this small home a sense of coherence.  © Shannon McGrath These materials all had an honest raw quality about them, allowing them to age gracefully and acquire their own patina over time.  © Shannon McGrath  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Dajiaoting “Big Family” Community Center / MAT Office Posted: 21 May 2017 12:00 PM PDT  © Kangshuo Tang
 © Kangshuo Tang "Big Family" Community Center is located in Dajiaoting Community, Chaoyang District, Beijing. It was a vacant underground space before the upgrade. The government hopes to create a public space for the residents' communication through the transformation.  © Kangshuo Tang The site area is about 300 square meters, and the underground original concrete wall could hardly be removed, so the original residential-like space has to be maintained. There are also various usage demands from the elderly, children, owners committee, community organization and other people. Different from the previous design experience, this project brief starts from the meetings organized by the neighborhood committee, the owners of the residents, the resident representatives and architect.  Floor Plan After collecting the requirements of multi-party, the whole space is divided into four parts, which is community education, community organization, children's space and senior's community. To ensure the reasonable functional areas, we designed a shared hall in the center to connect each part. The multi-functional shared hall is able to support any of the extended usage such as party, salon, teaching, reading and other flexible activities. The use of luminous celling also aims to eliminate the lack of underground space and create an outdoor courtyard feeling.  © Kangshuo Tang How to provide a circulation from ground level to the underground space is another key point of this design. Taking into account the community's emphasis on culture and education, we set 28 meters length bookcase wall, extending from the outdoor entrance to the shared hall space. The design of the bookcase wall on the one hand to settle the community's 6,000 books storage, on the other hand can also make reading and learning to become residents' daily behavior in this community.  Elevation In addition, the main user of this space is based on the senior and children in the community, so we use the "small house" graphic as the functional area of space to create symbols, with warm wood and bright and fresh colors to express the community center as a "big family" affinity.  © Kangshuo Tang The whole project lasted for more than a half year, including multi-party discussion, architectural design and construction processes. For architects, it is a meaningful social engagement more than a design project. It requires architects to communicate, participate deeply into the community and a wild range of space users from the very beginning, in order to establish a clear spatial logic to balance and coordinate the multi-appeal. The project also allows us to rethink the social responsibility for the architects at this time. "Sharing, Co-creating, Co-governance" is the key criterion of new generation community in China, and it could also be the potential for the architects to release our social value.  © Kangshuo Tang  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Truss House / Carterwilliamson Architects Posted: 21 May 2017 10:00 AM PDT  © Brett Boardman
 © Brett Boardman From the architect. The Truss House is a new building embedded with a memory of the site's former industrial past through the re-use of salvaged roof trusses. They create a new pitched skillion roof form, celebrating the exposed structure as an integral part of the character. The material palette nods to the existing timber mill building in its use of recycled brick walls, corrugated roof sheeting, concrete floors, and details,  © Brett Boardman Truss House playfully reinterprets the traditional terrace house. It unlocks spatial and structural capacity by revealing the traditional truss roof form internally and also a playful inversion at the rear to form a modern skillion profile. It programmatically places the public room to the front and the private areas upstairs.  © Brett Boardman Truss House is sympathetic to its context, stepping down in height with the fall in the site and scaling down not only along its length but also as an element in the composition of Beattie St. The house is an important mediator in form and size between the adjacent Factory residence and the neighbouring residence on the site's western boundary.  Ground floor  Section  First floor The form of the steel truss roof serves as an opportunity for high level windows along the length of the home, to allow diffuse light in and glimpses of passing clouds in the sky and tree tops, providing amenity whilst maintaining privacy. Rear windows are hooded with operable shutters to protect the glazing, to control light and to maintain privacy.  © Brett Boardman The living rooms of the house incorporate large windows and doors that open to embrace beautifully landscaped gardens and courtyards that provide a range of outdoor spaces to be enjoyed by occupants.  © Brett Boardman Truss House serves as an example of breathing new life into what would've been thrown out before its life-span. It is an idiosyncratic reinvention of the Antipodean terrace.  © Brett Boardman  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Continuity of Structure Defines this Timber Canopy in Chile Posted: 21 May 2017 09:00 AM PDT  © Tomás Weisser Set in a valley located 45 minutes west of Santiago de Chile, an elementary timber shed by Josep Ferrando and Diego Baloian seeks to unhinge the division between vertical and horizontal architectural elements. The scheme is the result of a private commission to build a wooden shed on a family-owned plot in the town of Curacaví, halfway between the Chilean capital and the coastal town of Valparaíso. Drawing heavy inspiration from vernacular canopies which historically dotted the landscape of rural Chile, the scheme seeks to create a central family meeting point amongst a vast 2 hectare plot.  Elevation Description from the Architects. The proposal consists of a structural system interpreting the canopy as a hut, or a family shelter. It avoids formalizing the shed as the sum of vertical supports to a horizontal plane, instead seeking continuity between the roof and supporting elements.  © Tomás Weisser  © Tomás Weisser  © Tomás Weisser  © Christian Nawrath Building the structure in collaboration with the family and local community required an easily-executed structure. The scheme consists of 2x8” brushed Arauco pine strips supported by 9 cm diameter steel compression tubes. 4.5m-length supporting timber strips are reinforced by a secondary structure 1.5m and 3m roofing strips. This interdependent geometry rewards the scheme with a sense of dynamism, as if the canopy is paused in motion.

| DELVA Landscape Architects to Revive The Hague’s Historic Centre With Interconnected Urban Greens Posted: 21 May 2017 07:00 AM PDT  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism Serving as a new gateway to the city through the connection of various green spaces and public programs, The Green Entrance is DELVA Landscape Architects' masterplan for a historic district of The Hague. Given The Hague's future inner-city densification, which involves the creation of 50,000 new houses, the Dutch firm's aim is to aid these developments through sustainable and green urban strategies, manifested "through an integral approach between landscape design, cultural heritage, mobility, programming and technology." Commenting on the project's primary function, the architects state: "'The Green Entrance' connects areas that have been isolated over the years. It starts in the spacious and open 'City Hall' that connects to the train station and continues to the 'Koningin Julianaplein'. No narrow doors or gates, but a wide view over the green and lively surrounding public space."  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism The site's surrounding area, known as the Central Innovation District, is regarded as a knowledge hub, as a home to a number of government agencies, NGOs, the Museum District, as well as The Hague Central Station, which channels the main influx of commuters and visitors. The master plan directly engages this starting point, while tying together four distinct areas: the 'Koningin Julianaplein' (Queen Juliana Square), the 'Koekamp' (deer camp), the 'Koninklijk Stadspark' (Royal City Park) and the 'Malieveld' (Malie Field). Beginning their experience with the Koningin Julianaplein while departing the station, visitors will be greeted with a large public green square at the base of the station. This works in tandem with the newly designed City Hall, which reinforces The Hague's international reputation as a city and also houses restaurants, bars, and retail stores. Integrated green dunes will link the square with the adjacent park, while there are also 8,500 spaces of underground parking for those arriving by bicycle.  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism Key to the public square is a pavilion, located strategically on the northeast corner to maximize solar gain with its terrace. A social and active space is created as soon as the public leaves the neighboring station and high-rise buildings, while the pavilion further reinforces the relationship with the existing park, which also has a similar hospitality pavilion for ticketing and tourism purposes. Historically, the Malieveld, Koekamp and Haagse Bos have been integral elements of the city's urban identity, the latter of which is a rectangular forested park. Designed in 1839 by renowned Dutch landscape architect J.D. Zocher Jr., the Koekamp is at the heart of DELVA's proposed scheme, also housing the revitalized historical structures of the National Forest Management Agency. The agency's base is surrounded by water to create an island that will "function as a recreational stepping stone from the city centre to the Haagse Bos." Circulation paths for bicyclists and pedestrians will link the deer camp to the surrounding park and an overhead bridge will restore the royal axis of 'Huis ten Bosch' and 'Paleis Noordeinde'.  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism  via DELVA Landscape Architects / Urbanism DELVA has also introduced the Malie Sports Track to the existing open Malie Field, catering to a number of outdoor sports. Inspired by a famous De Stijl work of Piet Mondiraan, the multicolored track also injects public art into the program, while using dynamic lighting that responds to user interaction and movement within the space. A subproject of 'City Entrances' program, The Green Entrance is to be completed in incremental phases, beginning with the Koningin Julianaplein in 2019. This will be well in time for the addition of the 50,000 houses as part of The Hague's larger densification plan, which is to be achieved by 2025. News via: DELVA Landscape Architects.

| Raval Hideaway / Mariana de Delás + Marcos Duffo Posted: 21 May 2017 06:00 AM PDT  © Jose Hevia
 © Jose Hevia From the architect. Hideaway in Raval is a sporadic living studio for a young entrepreneur who travels continuously for work. He was in search of a space inside the city center where, if wanted, he could get contaiged by the cities vibrance and at the same time, when in need, isolate himself by using it as a rest&work hideaway.  © Jose Hevia The existing 55sqm ground floor cavelike space had been used previously as an old motorcycle workshop and, later on, as a squatting house. Ceilings were extremely low, the organization of the space was unexisting and the front door neighbor hosts a very loud social club that serves as a bar in which patrons enjoy outside group debating and drinking.  © Jose Hevia  Floor Plan  © Jose Hevia As the existing groundfloor access door generated a very violent connection between the road and the studio, it was essential to integrate an intermediate buffer garden area. This garden buffer area serves as a way to get light inside and also act as an acoustic and privacy barrier from the street. This buffer is created by having two opposing layers of facade. First, an exterior light-permeable perforated iron sheet folding door that can be totally opened and gives a gradient of visual privacy to the apartment. And second, a glass and metal frame sliding window structure that shuts down direct noise from across the pedestrian street. The space between these two skins can be totally o partially opened, with a large number of variations. A metal built-in bench completes the setup, ideal for reunions and dining or simply smoking and reading or chilling when in desire to look and gaze at the wonders of melting pot street life.  © Jose Hevia Once inside, the studio is divided into two areas. A front living, dining and working area which opens to the street garden and a more intimate and quiet back area where the bedroom is placed. Built-in furniture is generated to both act as partitions and to optimize the existing space thus granting a greater sense of breadth. One of the studios most inconvenient trait was the low ceilings which automatically made one feel they had to duck once entering the space, thus, it was decided to use a continuous ethereal flooring material which could reflect the space and create a greater sense of amplitude. This was done by using white epoxy resin flooring with an extra coat of gloss to strengthen the reflection and create the effect of a floating floor, countering the perception of low ceiling and enhancing the feeling of a cozy haven. Flooring remains continuous throughout the studio and,when in the bathroom, creates an extra wide inbuilt monolithic bathtub and rainshower.  © Jose Hevia  Concept Collage Wall fans and textiles are also designed and produced by Sa-Wei to meet the needs and aesthetics of the space, creating the unitary image we envisioned.  © Jose Hevia  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| This Hand-Laid Brick Feature Wall Was Inspired by Soundwaves in Water Posted: 21 May 2017 05:30 AM PDT  © 22quadrat gmbh German architecture firm 22quadrat was inspired by the visual effect created by soundwaves moving through water when designing "impulses," a brick relief wall in the interior courtyard of the Pallotti Residential Complex in Freising, Germany. The architects derived the concept from a metaphor; a single brick is like a single particle, hardly noticeable on its own but capable of much greater impact when combined with others.  © 22quadrat gmbh With the help of digital modeling and a collaboration with MMZ Architekten, ROB Technologies, and FaBö, the brick wall was constructed by hand utilizing water-struck brick. Water-struck brick is made of clay with a high moisture content and plasticity. These bricks have a unique surface texture after firing and are denser than standard bricks, which enhances all of brick's natural benefits, such as strength, durability, resistance to weather and pests, and thermal mass efficiency.  © 22quadrat gmbh The architects at 22quadrat took inspiration from the way that water can retain information, the way that it resonates long after a disturbance. The designers thought of water as a way to store and mediate sounds and emotions. After undergoing a study exploring the properties and structures of water, the architects used that information to create a precise 3D model of the brick wall, which was then executed by craftsmen.  © 22quadrat gmbh Lead Architects: 22quadrat gmbh  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Pl@ntNet: The "Shazam" of Plants Making Life Easier for Landscape Designers Posted: 21 May 2017 05:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of: Pl@ntNet You've probably used or heard of the app Shazam, used by millions of people to identify songs and song lyrics. A team of researchers from Cirad, IRA, Inria / IRD and Tela Botanica Network - had the idea of developing a similar application, but instead of identifying songs, the application identifies plant species. Pl@ntNet is a new tool that helps identify plants using pictures. Collecting data from a large social network that constantly uploads images and information about plant species, Pl@ntNet has a visualization software that recognizes the plant photographed and links it to its plant library. Currently, the app has more than 4,100 species of flora located in France alone. The list is increasing as more users contribute images and information to the database.

 © Ketil Jacobsen From the architect. Snøhetta has designed a unique bar and interior concept for the expansion of Oslo Airport. Located centrally in the new domestic terminal, the playful design of Norgesglasset draws inspiration from its namesake, the Norgesglasset jar, a classic product long used for pickling and storing food familiar to many Norwegian homes.  © Ketil Jacobsen Snøhetta re-used over 4000 original Norgesglasset jars to clad the ceiling and back wall of the 65m2 bar. Selected jars are lit from within, doubling to illuminate the space and creating whimsical variations in light and shadow. As one continuous organic form, the glass structure of the curved back wall rises 4.8m in height from floor to ceiling to project over the seating area. A swirling grand chandelier, also composed of Norgesglasset jars, is suspended from the center of the arched ceiling, catching the eye with its glittering play of light.  © Ketil Jacobsen Designed and produced by Norwegian glassworks Hadeland Glassverk, the traditional jar is known for its distinctive red rubber gasket and grey aluminum lid, elements which are reprised in the design of the bar through its simple color and material palette. A long couch wraps around the back wall, and the where the glass cladding meets the couch, the structure changes from glass jars to bright red cushions, evoking the color of the jar's rubber gasket. Keeping a simple and intuitive concept, the seating furniture has been given various shades of red, complementing the red rubber floor. The bar's round form references the aluminum ring that seals the top of the Norgesglasset jar. With its circular shape, the bar is a unifying element and a natural gathering point in the space.  © Ketil Jacobsen The interior concept is strengthened by a coherent concept including the design of employee uniforms and menu cards. Additionally, as part of the Oslo Airport expansion, Snøhetta has also design the restaurant Hunter Bar in the new international terminal.  © Ketil Jacobsen  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Zaha Hadid Architects Unveils New Experimental Structure Using 3D-Printing Technology Posted: 21 May 2017 01:00 AM PDT  © Luke Hayes Zaha Hadid Architects unveiled a new experimental structure as part of Milan's White In The City Exhibition during the city's annual Salone del Mobile. Held at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in the heart of Milan's design district, the exhibition explored the contemporary use of white color in design and architecture across various locations in the city. Named the Thallus – after the Greek word for flora that is not differentiated into stem and leaves, the sculpture is the latest in ZHA's investigations using 3D printing technology. Thallus continues Zaha Hadid Architects' Computational Design (ZHA CoDe) group's research into generating geometries through robotic-assisted design.  © Luke Hayes Thallus is made from a premium polylactide plastic used in 3D printing. The structure is created by hot wire cutting technology and automated additive manufacturing. Its shape is generated from a ruled surface tailored to a trimmed cylinder, that allows the hot-wire cutting process to create the mold of the sculpture's base. The mold then becomes the starting point where the structural strip continuously prints. Six-axis robotic 3D-printing technology created the 7km long extruded structural strip that loops around to connect with itself on a single ruled surface. The result is the continuous, calla lily-like geometry that is created through one single stroke.  © Luke Hayes  © Luke Hayes The design explores the different ways in which a curve is guided along a reference surface, changing its density and growth through parametric boundaries. The differences in pattern on the structure's surface, from closely-knit to large curves are defined by parameters ranging from proximity to its edges, structural requirements and the angled directions it took during printing. The creation of Thallus' structure from ZHA CoDe demonstrates what can now be achieved in terms of mechanization and customization in the architecture, construction and engineering industries.  © Luke Hayes

 © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo From the architect. Located in the Oltre Po Pavese region, immersed in a hilly landscape full of villages and castles, and in a flourishing nature made of woods and large cultivated areas, Casa D'Agosto, a small village ,part of the Valverde Municipality of 315 inhabitants, is just twenty kilometers from Pavia.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo This small (120m²) holiday home of a young Milanese couple was built on a piece of land with a slight slope of about 3000 sqm.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo  Plans  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo The new home is fully made of a reinforced concrete monoblock positioned at the natural level of the ground and of an open space in front of it, for the enjoyment of the air and the surrounding nature in summer.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo This holiday home is conceived as an open-space on two floors articulated in a single double-height volume; characteristics of the house are its lofts and the 45-degree rotation of the traditional roof cover. The result is the creation of four identical, stereometric and trapezoidal sections.  Sections The interior space is divided as follows: on the ground floor we find the living and dining area, accessible from the outside garden through large sliding windows, in addition to the main access door, also glazed.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo The open-space ground floor is divided into a large double-height living area, a dining area located below the mezzanine and the open-space kitchen with concrete worktop and treated maple doors; a small bathroom with floor-to- wall and wall-clad disengagement with green cement serves both the ground floor and the upper floor.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo The access to the sleeping area is ensured by an open staircase made of reinforced concrete, inserted into wall blocks also made of the same material ; the staircase is adjacent the living room.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo On the upper loft floor there are the two fully open bedrooms, overlooking the living area; from the bedrooms' large windows you can enjoy the view of the surrounding landscape .The relationship with the landscape is guaranteed by large wood windows , some of them openable and others fixed, which together allow light, air and the view of the surrounding hills; all the openings are in fact designed according to the need of offering the best external sight. The reinforced concrete, used to eliminate any structural element inside and reduce the construction costs, was placed using common yellow panels and leaving it internally exposed.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo The materiality of the few solid wood elements (kitchen, bathroom door, furniture and window frames); the elegance of the floors, made of monolithic concrete helicoptered castings and finished with quartz paste; the rough texture of the exposed concrete walls and exposed ceiling. All these characteristics help highlight the most sensitive and material aspects of the architectural work.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo The exterior finishes of the building ensure continuity with the interior; all the facades are finished with a dark-gray, coarse-grained , heat-reflective plaster, grossly spread with a trowel; also the two-fold, forty-five-degree , double-faced cover is treated with poor material, normally used in industrial shells (gray glove). It follows and confirms the brutalist language of the whole work.  © Andrea Carmignola & Maddalena Merlo  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
