| Exploding the Cube: Yannick Martin's Studies of a Six-Sided Shape Posted: 27 Aug 2017 09:00 PM PDT Former architect Yannick Martin, who has previously confined architecture's most famous houses to a cube, is a graphic designer who explores line and geometric shapes to examine the language of the diagram. By fragmenting simple shapes, Martin seeks to offer new ways of looking at an icon so commonplace and ubiquitously used that, for most, the sheer potential and variety of its application can be overlooked.  © Yannick Martin N°01"This study aims to question, and then illustrate, the types of spaces that could be produced by a cube. Studying the cube in two dimensions provides a way to explore the infinite possibilities of this volume. The illustration ultimately invites the viewer to reconsider their understanding of this simple form by examining the logic of its composition."  © Yannick Martin N°02"What are the different ways of drawing a three dimensional cube composed of eight individual cubes? This work centers on a desire to discover the cube from a spatial point of view. What is hidden behind everything that we take for granted?"  © Yannick Martin N°03"Design begins with a simple form. These studies are allegorical; a way of understanding the complexity of the world in which everything—however simple—add up to create complexities."  © Yannick Martin N°04"Here, the cube is pushed aside in order to explore the language of the shape. Louis Kahn used the square as a starting point for thinking about and creating architecture projects. Here, I use the cube as a basis for research on language."

| Ricard Camarena Restaurant / Francesc Rifé Studio Posted: 27 Aug 2017 08:00 PM PDT  © David Zarzoso
 © David Zarzoso From the architect. The latest collaboration of Francesc Rifé with Michelin starred chef Ricard Camarena is set in an industrial context of the 1930s. The former Bombas Gens factory that will integrate the restaurant has been rediscovered and converted into a center of art by the Foundation Per amor a l'art, promoter of the project. A challenge for the studio not only because of its aesthetic art deco but because the architecture presented some challenges of design: create a space from the non-space.  © David Zarzoso  Site Plan  © David Zarzoso Paradoxically a residual area becomes the new restaurant, where the form is absolutely essential. Divided into two main territories, the dining room occupies a triangular surface providing a valuable perspective of one of the walls of the factory, while the bar is housed under one of the five refurbished sheds.  © David Zarzoso In the first, in search of a meaningful integration of shape, color, and texture, a second skin is designed to cover the entire space integrating the different planes of the room. The wrap is expressed in American walnut wood that contrasts with the beige color of the brick. This juxtaposition of textures in contrast with concrete pavement visually softens the project and at the same time reminds the industrial past of the premises, giving it a category Michelin entity.  © David Zarzoso The lattice, using different formats, is made up of vertical and horizontal elements, the last ones placed in the second term. The arrangement of these elements varies according to what we want to highlight, either the show kitchen or the exposed brick. In addition, is sound absorbing, and depending on the point of view creates an optical illusion that is completely opaque.  © David Zarzoso The entrance, as a transitional space, hosts a composition of 10 pictures that transforms what could be a narrow passage to the restaurant in a key player that besides placing us in the artistic environment, accompanies us on our culinary journey. Beyond the entrance, we discover the magnitude of the room in which the restaurant expands as we move between tables, up to a terrace that floods with natural light the whole space. During the day, a longitudinal opening, created to separate the restaurant of the adjacent building, allows the entrance of natural light, zenith and linearly, overnight we simulate the same effect through indirect light,  © David Zarzoso Walnut wood ceiling is achievable and includes a lighting system created specifically for the project. It is an optical illumination hidden in the ceiling that allows to light tables of 110 and 160 cm in diameter depending on the needs. As support for this technical lighting, several decorative luminaries have been placed along the room.  © David Zarzoso Another challenge for the studio has been the location of the kitchen, which, due to its large size, needed a strategic location. To find the balance it has been located on a stepped volume in which also the winery sits and accompanies to the enlargement of the area.  © David Zarzoso The bar is a restored structure with a maximum height up to 8 meters. Exposed brick and melis wood enclosures have been preserved in this area, used as waiting for space, aperitif and even reserved area for about 25 people. Basins, the divider elements between tables, the front of the bar and part of the lining of the latter, have been designed by the studio with natural stone Pietra Grey by Stonehegen.  © David Zarzoso The design of the restaurant is in equilibrium with the gastronomic offer of Ricard Camarena: a pure kitchen, which visually seems bit complicated but transmitting an infinite number of sensations. A space easy to read that it hides many surprises.  © David Zarzoso  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 6 Leadwood Loop / Metropole Architects Posted: 27 Aug 2017 07:00 PM PDT  © Grant Pitcher
 © Grant Pitcher From the architect. The architecture of 6 Leadwood Loop was designed in accordance with Feng Shui principles. The square geometry of the floor plan is aligned with the cardinal axis. The shape, position and orientation of all the spaces and bodies of water were guided by Feng Shui protocols.  © Grant Pitcher Characteristics like elemental roof forms with large eaves, overhanging upper storey, play of light and shade, screening, flow of spaces including an uninterupted indoor / outdoor flow and lush landscaping are all hallmarks of Tropical Modern architecture.  Section The house is a layered composition of individually expressed horizontal elements. The offshutter concrete and glass ground floor level is articulated from the timber clad first floor level by means of the cantilevered first floor plate, and the angled cantilevered ground floor terrace projects out over the timber and stone lower floor level. Subdivisions in the timber doors and windows reinforce the horizontal lines of the architecture. The building culminates in the bold form of the pyramid roof with a two metre overhang, splayed timber eaves brackets and T&G eaves closer.  © Grant Pitcher  Ground Floor Plan  © Grant Pitcher  1st Floor Plan The site offers exceptional panaramic sea views from the north east through to the south east. The rim flow swimming pool with a natural stone waterfall feature and sundeck have been placed on the north side of the house, enjoying warm sunlight throughout the day, but at the same time being significantly shielded from the prevailing winds coming off the ocean. An al fresco sitting area and shallow reflective pond adorn the east facing terrace, providing a tranquil area to linger and enjoy the natural splendour of the Indian Ocean.  © Grant Pitcher The double volume space positioned centrally at the heart of the home acts as a hub that the other spaces radiate out from.  © Grant Pitcher The large open plan main bedroom suite integrates a luxurious lounge and an open plan ensuite bathroom and dressing area into one seamless space. Expansive sliding doors and windows along the east and south edges of this space open up to take full advantage of the sea views.  © Grant Pitcher  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 Aerial. Image © Louis Y.S Liu From the architect. Huaian city, situated in northern Jiangsu province, is home to the finest reserve of underground salt mines in China. Since 2008 the city has been active in developing an advanced industrial zone for salt-chemical related industries.  © Louis Y.S Liu This project is a 900 m2 laboratory for a world-class medical-grade salt plant. The plant incorporates state of the art production technology, yielding 30 tonnes per annum of medical grade salt which is refined into a range of specialized products for medical, food, beverage and cosmetic industrial applications.  Floor Plan Within the laboratory a team of technicians carry out essential quality control and testing procedures for various segments of the production process. The program includes laboratories, ultra-clean rooms, chemical testing rooms, office spaces, chemical and samples storage, a central control-and-monitoring room and a generous lobby and reception area.  Lobby. Image © Louis Y.S Liu Purity is an essential focus of the salt production process and a consistent driving concept for the architectural and interior design. The plan organization is conceived as a regular array of NaCl salt crystals. A series of offset cubic protrusions – white-washed walls with full-height glazing - accommodates each of the key functions. While the main building geometries are rectilinear, entrances and key elevations are characterized by contrasting fluid curvatures to give various welcoming gestures to visitors and staff.  Lab. Image © Louis Y.S Liu "Water" is an essential element within the brine-to-salt extraction process and therefore celebrated as a major design feature. The building is poised beside a large reflecting pond, as if floating on water. Rainwater is collected here from the roof to provide evaporative cooling effect during the hot extended summers，as well as a source of irrigation water for the surrounding open landscaped areas. Meandering fine pebble pathways demarcate the edges of the pond. A generous stone walkway traverses the water surface to lead visitors toward the main entry. By night, underwater lighting illuminates the façades and brings to life mirror-like reflections.  East Entrance. Image © Louis Y.S Liu The interior is crisp and restrained - white walls, linear strip lighting and light-colored tiles characterize the spaces. In key rooms, a warmer atmosphere is conjured by combining wood and wood-grained exposed concrete. Full height low-emissivity glazing provides ample daylighting and pleasant views of the Jiangsu country-side from the workspaces.  Office.

 © Norihito Yamauchi From the architect. The site is located along an arterial road that runs through the countryside. In the neighborhood stand private residences and a grove of the village shrine surrounding a passage to the shrine. The building is made of mortar and galvanized steel sheet which reflects dull light, making it look massive. It is laid out to be accommodated within the L-shaped lot and stands to face the shrine on the opposite side.  © Yoshihiro Asada The building is to be used as a studio and gallery of the photographer and his residence as well.The client requested to unite the studio where he produces works with his living space. Thus, I came up with an optimum plan by clarifying how the resident wants to live instead of segmenting the space by function.  © Norihito Yamauchi The dim passage from the entrance approach invites visitors into the innermost space while guiding them with light thrown from the ceiling of the connected gallery. The gallery clips out a landscape with the opening to look like an exhibition. Its contrasted scale and natural light resonate with each other.  © Norihito Yamauchi  Ground Floor Plan  © Norihito Yamauchi The space that quietly inspires a feeling of exaltation among ordinary life also plays a role of the photogenic shooting location.  © Yoshihiro Asada The long thin passage serving as an alley to go around the gallery has other functions than a mere pathway; it is also used as a space to post artworks and photos on the wall. It is beautifully themed with sight switching, different ceiling heights, and shade and shadow created by natural light.  © Yoshihiro Asada The hall that is located at the center of the building with different floor levels plays a role of a hub which connects with each space. It also incorporates plumbing equipment, a counter, and a staircase that are necessary for living, and is connected to an approach from the courtyard, thus not only providing functional comfort but also displaying scenic beauty.  © Norihito Yamauchi The building used as a living space also offers a dynamic space with proportion and scale that allow it to serve as a photo studio. The light coming through the high-side light envelops the room, enabling photo-shooting with natural light.  © Yoshihiro Asada Photo shooting equipment, vintage furniture, musical instrument, and artworks are placed here and there, blending in with space. It acts in concert with the photographer's feeling and aesthetic and acts as the base to produce new creativity and activities.  © Norihito Yamauchi  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| HUNI Architectes Win Competition to Design Lotus-Inspired Square in Vietnam Posted: 27 Aug 2017 09:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes International offices HUNI Architectes has won an international competition to design the Da Nang City Center Square in Vietnam. Organized by the Department of Construction, the city launched its competition for the square, with HUNI beating out 15 other designs competing for first place. HUNI has experience in Vietnam-based projects, already having collaborated with OMGEVING & Partners to restore Da Nang's riverfront. The design adopts the symbolic shape of a typical local element: the Lotus lake. Featuring distinctive 'Lotus flower' and 'Lotus leaf' canopies, the square aims to increase bike and pedestrian access, along with decreasing water runoff in Da Nang's rain-filled location. Using its canopy-like shade structure, the Lotus Square will host a playground, market, and water feature symbolic of its chosen motif.  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes
 Courtesy of HUNI Architectes  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes The square's lotus-like canopies serve as visual connections between the ground floor and the underground levels of the square. Designed as a radial steel structure supported by central columns, the canopy is comprised of single-units based on the petals of a Lotus flower leaf. 8 primary "petals" serve as the widest roof elements in the middle of the square, becoming more pointed while moving towards the edges.  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes The lotus-motif continues in the square's circular flooring and new pink lotus playground, "designed to create a place for the community." Says HUNI: "The colorful playground is visible from afar, yet it's a world of its own. It will become a place where children can always drop by to enjoy some playtime after school." To achieve coherency within the large area covered by the square, a pattern of granite circles knits public space together.
 Courtesy of HUNI Architectes Through the design of the square, HUNI Architects also sought to preserve existing buildings on site. The Han Market, though not a heritage building forms a significant part of the history of Da Nang. The project aims to keep the existing structure and refurbish the interior and the exterior parts. The market will continue to remain an "anchor point for the neighborhood", drawing tourists and locals alike.  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes In an effort to reduce traffic, overground car parks are replaced with underground facilities, and the reconfigured open surface of the Lotus Square provides easy access and crossing for pedestrians. Cyclists have their own lanes shared with public transport, with bike sharing facilities forming part of proposed "Mobility Hubs" at the market hall, at a new subway station entrance/canopy, and on the first floor of the new underground parking.  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes Two new water features on the square will be designed as SUDS (sustainable urban drainage systems). The main water feature in the square's centre will contain over 50 fountains. Despite its large size, the water level is designed to be shallow to accommodate children using it as a playing pool. Both features can be used all year round and will feature lighting and performance sets for the fountains for the public to enjoy at events.  Courtesy of HUNI Architectes
 Courtesy of HUNI Architectes The square is said to have an estimated budget of $31 billion. Its design and construction will form part of Da Nang's master plan to transform the city into Vietnam's most modernized urban hub by 2030.

| In Residence: Inside Mattia Bonetti's Home on Lake Lugano Posted: 27 Aug 2017 07:00 AM PDT
This video from NOWNESS' In Residence series features Swiss furniture designer Mattia Bonetti in his home on Lake Lugano. Bonetti is based in Paris but maintains this home in his birthplace: Lugano, Switzerland. Designing furniture since 1979, Bonetti is known for his vibrant designs, often full of historical allusions and in contrast to his subdued persona. In the video, the artist and designer mention that some of the home's accessories were handmade by Bonetti himself. Continue reading to learn about Bonetti's inspirations in restoring and adding to his lakeside home. The home's location on the lake was imperative to Bonetti, who swims every day and considers the element essential to his life. He hasn't ever worked in the house, however, considering the beautiful scenery too distracting – he prefers instead to work in more "anonymous" spaces. The home itself is a mixture of historic and modern artifacts. Both of Bonetti's parents were antique dealers and he inherited furniture from them - with the addition of some of his own gallery pieces, he gives the home a historical feel with contemporary flair. The house was vacant for 15-20 years before Bonetti acquired it and he loved that the house was still in its original condition, his enthusiasm visible in the restorations he has undertaken. Bonetti wasn't looking for a large house, just enough space to live comfortably; his home is grounded in its natural surroundings, the floors are made of local clay that has been used for centuries. Bonetti got his inspiration from the original, historical house and used that to fuel his restorations and additions to create an end product that reflects his life. News via: NOWNESS.

| House-Workshop for an Artist / Planmaestro Arquitectos Posted: 27 Aug 2017 06:00 AM PDT  © Mathias Jacob
 © Mathias Jacob From the architect. The requirement was a building that would accommodate an artist's studio and residential space for occasional use as a weekend house. The 1.500 sqm site is located in Peñalolén, a suburban district with low construction density, and neighbors some undeveloped sites.  © Mathias Jacob This condition leaves the building very exposed to its surroundings, so the client required that the project would limit the exposure of the interior spaces and provide privacy. The project also had to be capable of becoming an exclusively residential building at a future time, so it needed spaces to allow new uses and an extension to be planned.  © Mathias Jacob The privacy of interior spaces was addressed by limiting and directing the views to and from the exterior. This was accomplished by arranging mass and void volumes through the perimeter, placing openings to allow certain views. The mass and void relation is contained between the two horizontal planes of floor and ceiling. The mass volumes offer interior space for furniture and closets.  Ground Floor Plan  © Mathias Jacob  Sections  © Mathias Jacob The voids open views and access to the exterior through floor-to-ceiling windows, which are receded from the facade, forming covered exterior spaces. This confinement between two horizontal planes is only interrupted in the central room, where space is defined by a ceiling at a higher level. The difference between both ceiling heights allows natural light to enter through a ribbon window.  © Mathias Jacob The rooms are divided into three zones. To the east, there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The central room is a social area, containing living, dining, kitchen facilities and entry hall. This space opens to a covered terrace to the north. To the west, the working studio opens to the central room and to the terrace and is also connected to a covered service yard with a sink, where the work with wet materials is done.  Details The future transformation for exclusively residential use considers the following operations. The studio space will become a dining room and will open to a larger kitchen located in the current service yard. The central room will be used as a larger living room. Finally, an extension to the east will add a master bedroom and bathroom, and another bedroom.  © Mathias Jacob The construction system consists of concrete foundations, steel frame structure and light steel internal walls. A ventilated facade of vertical wooden slats was used for the exterior perimeter. The use of the same material for all exterior walls reinforces the perception of mass volumes interrupted by void spans. The ventilated facade also helps with the thermal control of interior space.  © Mathias Jacob  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Beauty of Minimalism: The Best Photos of the Week Posted: 27 Aug 2017 05:00 AM PDT Without a doubt, it is interesting to enjoy architecture from a new perspective. Minimalist photography, characterized by clean compositions where geometry and abstraction take center stage, is one of the most popular trends when it comes to documenting architecture. In celebration of this distinctive photographic style, we have selected 14 minimalist images by prominent photographers such as Joel Filipe, Sebastian Weiss, and Nelson Garrido.

| The Top 5 Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Apps for Architects Posted: 27 Aug 2017 02:30 AM PDT  The app Pair allows architects to drag-and-drop 3-D models of consumer furnishings into their designs using iPhones or iPads. © Pair This article was originally published by Archipreneur. From being a novelty a few years ago, VR/AR solutions are slowly becoming a medium that's transforming the way professionals in the AEC industry communicate, create and experience content. Offering a more immersive experience of architectural designs, but also products and areas related to space building, VR and AR tools are becoming an industry standard that offers rapid iterations and opportunity to refine designs in collaboration with clients and colleagues. While VR creates fully computer-generated and driven environments, AR delivers virtual elements as an overlay to the real world. This is why, while leveraging the same type of technology, VR and AR are taking different paths to the end user as well as various industries. Also, VR is thought to be a tool better suited to architects, while AR will likely find more uses in construction. Although both these groundbreaking technologies are exploding, they are still in an early development stage. In order to provide a more structured overview of the most interesting solutions out there, we compiled a list of VR/AR tools that best suit those working the in AEC industry. #1 – ARki © ARki ARki is a real-time augmented reality visualization service for architectural models. It incorporates AR technology into architecture by providing 3-D models with multiple levels of interactivity for both design and presentation purposes. ARki can be used on any iOS/Android device. It simply overlays 3-D models onto existing 2-D floor plans, but also provides several other interactive functionalities, including real-time shadow analysis and material selection. Users can capture and record custom views of models in both movie and 3-D still format, and share their content via email or social media with a few clicks. #2 – Storyboard VR Storyboard VR © Artefact Storyboard VR is a free prototyping and visualization tool that can be used by architects, AEC professionals, artists and creators. It allows users to pull in, arrange, scale and animate simple 2-D assets. The creators of Storyboard VR, design firm Artefact, developed it for their own internal use for VR projects they worked on. They created their own tool to quickly and easily prototype VR experiences. You can create and upload transparent drawings and environment maps from your existing sketching tools to Storyboard VR, then select your assets and build a storyboard. The ease of use allows designers to share ideas and get feedback early in the design process. Storyboard VR also features slides – sequential scenes – providing something like a VR version of PowerPoint. #3 – Pair © Pair Pair (formerly Visidraft) used proprietary computer vision and augmented reality technologies to build an app, which allows architects to drag-and-drop 3-D models of consumer furnishings and appliances into their designs using iPhones or iPads. Their online catalog of models and assets now features over 200 home and office furniture products from Fortune 500 manufacturers, with new products being added every day. After launching their app, the firm saw that a large percentage of their growth was coming from furnishings and appliance manufacturers. What makes Pair different from other AR solutions is their focus on products and consumers – it allows users to physically walk around a virtual 3-D product like it is in their home of office space. #4 – SmartReality © SmartReality SmartReality is an augmented reality mobile app that uses the mobile device's camera to overlay an interactive BIM model over printed construction plans to create 3-D visualizations of projects. It allows users to zoom, expose structural layers with a touch, move through stages of a project over time and record images and video of their experience. Users can create a free account to upload 2-D plans and get matching 3-D plans and models for a quote. The SmartReality app is also available in a VR version developed by the JBKnowledge Labs R&D team. This version lets users virtually walk through building models using virtual reality solutions like the Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear and Google Project Tango. #5 – Fuzor © Fuzor Fuzor is a real-time rendering app that integrates with Revit. It uses the technology originally designed by Kalloc Studios for game design and offers a bi-directional live link with Revit, allowing users to move around, visualize, annotate, and inspect BIM information, while also syncing changes between the two tools. The live link is what allows Fuzor to instantly update and reflect the modifications done in a Revit file. It supports various measurements, clash analysis, lighting analysis, color and visibility filters, cross section and section cut rendering, and walkthrough video rendering with BIM information embedded. For collaboration with construction sites, BIM Solution supports mobile devices BIM drawing visualization via Google Drive or Dropbox. Fuzor currently provides support for Revit, Archicad, Rhinoceros 3-D, Navisworks, SketchUp, FBX, and 3-DS files.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Apartament FW / Cadi Arquitetura Posted: 27 Aug 2017 02:00 AM PDT  © Cristiano Bauce
 © Cristiano Bauce From the architect. Before moving to Lajeado, in Rio Grande do Sul, mother and daughter lived in a large house with a backyard, in Santa Cruz do Sul. Despite the choice of an apartment as a new home, the matriarch did not want to give up the entrance of light and the presence of green for the new home. That is why the project integrated the social area creating a great light and airy environment.  © Cristiano Bauce Even offering plenty of natural light, it needed to bring a little more green into apartament. The solution found was to line the wall that starts in the entrance hall and ends in the kitchen with a wallpaper that in addition to the vibrant emerald green color, stamped with several palm leaves and creates the feeling of jungle inside the house.  Lower Plan 02 In addition, organization was the key word of the project. At the customer's request, exposed utensils, niches, shelves and any exposed furniture were prohibited in the project. And the kitchen of the apartment, which was totally open, did not please much.  © Cristiano Bauce To solve the question of the kitchen very exposed, a slat of wood brought privacy and delimited the spaces better. The high kitchen countertop also helped with this, and it also provided support for a table where the family dines from day to day.  © Cristiano Bauce We bet on the joinery with clean design, which reinforces the sense of visual cleaning. This minimalist aesthetic is present throughout the project, which is marked by the neutral base, enclosed spaces and few objects of decoration.  © Cristiano Bauce  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Ricardo Bofill's Red Wall Through The Lens of Gregori Civera Posted: 27 Aug 2017 01:00 AM PDT  © Gregori Civera Photographer Gregori Civera worked in collaboration with Pablo Bofill to photograph the magnificent work of his father Ricardo Bofill. The Red Wall, La Muralla Roja is a housing project located within the La Manzanera development in Spain's Calpe. The building makes clear references to the popular architecture of the Arab Mediterranean Area, a result of the architects' inspiration by the Mediterranean tradition of the casbah. In this photoset, Civera manages to capture the vivid colors that give abundant life to the project since 1972, exaggerating the contrast between the arid landscapes of the area and its color. In addition, the softness of the chromatic range and chosen angles manage to diminish the impact of the hard forms and imposing composition, allowing the viewer to contemplate the everyday world of this set of houses.  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera  © Gregori Civera
