 © Marc Torra From the architect. They ask us to extend the house, to live intensely the garden and to dispose of the attainable landscape; Nothing that has not done almost all the neighbours from this cheap houses neighbourhood of the fifties. But in these popular refurbishments, self-construction and simplicity of resources have traditionally outweighed the order, the foresight, or the hand of an architect. We look at the project respecting the values of chance and its diversity of materials and solutions, but also being faithful to rationality; We read the place and propose two extensions and a reform.  © Marc Torra  Ground Floor Plan  © Marc Torra The renovation of the existing house is based on the connection of spaces, optimization of circulation and, above all, the recovery of the original structure: an interesting system of a four-point turns supported on the partition walls, always bearing.  © Marc Torra The expansion to the north allows a new polyvalent volume that usually acts as a garage on the ground floor and gym at the top. To the east, we extend a building arm like a kitchen / porch that spins the house around the garden. And we understand this external element as the great room of the house, and we conceive the new growth as a strategy to locate the new center of gravity.  Sections The sum of small things close to our clients what can not be paid with money; Nothing that almost all the neighbours of this neighbourhood have not looked for. We built another house in the neighbourhood.  © Marc Torra  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Dimitris Kleanthis From the architect. The steep ground and the plot's narrow dimensions determine the pronounced and gradient form of the building which rises from the mountain and over the valley of Poisses, to finally balance itself with the surrounding traditional dwellings and the natural context.  © Dimitris Kleanthis The secondary home of a family of four, spreads through 3 volumes which clearly can defined as the seating & kitchen volume, the circulation tower and the sleeping & storaging volume. The principal material chosen is the locally quarried stone, carefully crafted against the horizontal micro-cement surfaces.  © Dimitris Kleanthis  Floor Plan  © Dimitris Kleanthis The experience of the Cycladic landscape is the design's main concern expressed through the spatial evolution and relationship of the building with the dramatic land. This is achieved through the traditional method of construction called "kotounto", a dry, humid-free space between the rock and the building. In such a way, the external spaces, a continuous perimetrical 'kotoundo' makes the building sometimes trying to break away from the rock and sometimes to reconcile with it.  © Dimitris Kleanthis Apart from this traditional tecnique of which is principlally used to drain the waters coming from the mountains, leaving walls and foundations dry, the house includes in its design an under-floor heating installation which is generated by the solar heaters installed in the roof. The cooling is achieved from cross ventilation and also an additional under-floor cooling is provided. Finally, the rainwater is collected in the 3 rooftops and stored in an underground reservoir.  © Dimitris Kleanthis  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Yao Li From the architect. The total construction area of Shandong Art gallery is 52,000 square meters, including five floors on the ground, one floor underground. There are 12 exhibition halls in the art gallery from first floor to the fourth floor, total area is 19,700 square meters, the actual available route is 1,600 meters.  © Yao Li In order to meet the requirement as the important space joint which is for the development toward east of Jinan city, Shandong New Art gallery which locates at Shandong Culture Expo Center needs to become the leader and integrator for this space. On one side, the art gallery needs to obtain echoes with the square shape of museum, archives room and the axis relationship, in order to form "品"shape structure. On the other side, the art gallery needs to create square in the front together with the museum, in order to take shape of a certain length. Then the design confirms the body characteristics of the art gallery as the main building for 4 floors and partial building for 6 floors.  © Yao Li  Section  © Yao Li With the purpose to echo the surrounding environment and geographical features of Jinan city， the architectural design of art gallery confirms the theme that the mountain and the city lean with each other. The body of the building transits from 4-floor mountain shape to 6-floor square shape. Under the concept of "mountain and city leans with each other, spring and city reflects with each other", the style of the building utilizes backward step shape from south to north. The number of the floor gradually increases toward north, and the shape change from trapezoid to cube, while the skylight reflects the image of "spring".  © Yao Li The image of Chinese traditional garden also integrates to the design concept. The scale and space of the art gallery is limited, so he designs the trapezoid turning space on the south side, corresponding to two gaps on the exterior of the building which enhances the diagonal space. In addition, it allows that every entity which participates space construction can dislocate, reverse with each other and enhance the space movement.  © Yao Li  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| East Sydney Early Learning Centre / Andrew Burges Architects Posted: 06 Aug 2017 05:00 PM PDT  © Peter Bennetts
 © Peter Bennetts From the architect. The East Sydney Early Learning Centre is an adaptive re-use of an existing 4 level 1920's industrial building to house a 60 place childcare centre and community space within the tight knit urban grain of Darlinghurst. The scope of works included the complete stripping of the existing building including all interiors, structure and windows to create a new 4 level childcare and community building, a complete re-working of the adjacent John Birt Memorial Playground, integrated into the centre through a new bridge link across Berwick Lane, and a complete refurbishment of the public domain including Berwick Lane Stairs and streetscape.  © Peter Bennetts Initial Project Brief The initial project brief requested the closure of Berwick Lane to connect the John Birt memorial playground with the existing building, suggesting the childcare centre occupy the lower three levels of the existing building, with the community centre located on the top level.  Site Plan Urban Strategy - Transformation of Project Brief through 'Treehouse Bridge' Following detailed urban analysis, community consultation and City of Sydney review we developed a far more inventive urban strategy – the laneway remained open and was significantly improved through a new stair construction, the community centre was located at the lower ground level to animate and enliven the laneway, and the top 3 levels of the building housed the childcare, with a treehouse bridge link crossing the laneway and providing a journey down to the ground level of the playground.  © Peter Bennetts Approach to Child Pedagogy – 'Mini City' Concept Against a backdrop of regulations and orthodoxies focusing on safe sightlines and transparency of structures as a guiding principle, often leading to internal play spaces of wall to ceiling glazing, the philosophy of this project emphasised childhood imagination and play as its guiding framework and inspiration. The building was conceived as a 'mini-city' that enabled experiential learning by re-imagining the urban fabric at a child's scale. A series of play space houses or 'pods' are connected by a network of social laneways and indoor parks. A double height centrally located light well houses an urban plaza in the form of a large sandpit. A rooftop garden connects the imaginative city of the building with the real city viewed beyond. All decisions on layout, material detailing, window openings, and finishes, including infrastructural elements such as fire sprinklers, were conceptualised to encourage a fascination with cities and city life as a guiding pedagogical tenet for the childcare.  © Peter Bennetts  Drawings  © Amanda Prior  Section  © Amanda Prior Two further considerations within the development the internal 'pod' buildings animating the existing fabric was the creation of opportunities for funnels of natural light deep into the buildings' interior, and the creation of a highly articulated interior for internal play spaces, creating a range of spatial circumstances for the many learning activities occurring within the interior including active play, theatrical play, imaginative play, and opportunities for quiet play.  © Peter Bennetts 'Treehouse' Playground Historically serving a smaller adjacent kindergarten, the John Birt memorial playground was linked by the urban strategy of the 'treehouse bridge' connection from the main childcare building. The bridge and tree house platform provide additional outdoor playspace centred around a jacaranda tree, while also providing the required shading for the playspaces below. The playground design focussed on creating a range of textural experiences and play types organically unfolding around the existing trees, incorporating a mud pit, sand pit, amphitheatre, outdoor class room and interactive water wall, while creating acoustic separation from the adjacent dwellings.  © Peter Bennetts Sustainability Initiatives The sustainability objectives of the East Sydney Early Learning Centre were aligned with the City of Sydney 2030 Sustainability objectives. Initiatives included photovoltaic cells for rooftop solar capture, bio-filtration at the window openings through internal planters and landscaping, mixed mode ventilation and thermal zoning to contain and minimise areas of air-conditioning, alternative sources of user thermal comfort including solar boosted hydronic heating and radiators, extensive use of light wells to create daylighting deep into the internal fabric of the building, rainwater harvesting and use of water efficient fixtures, green transport planning including cycle parking and staff change facilities, and a regime of material selection for sustainable materials including non-toxic materials with high recycled content and/or highly recyclable, low VOC finishes, low formaldehyde products & furniture, sustainable timbers, rapidly renewable and locally sourced materials.  © Peter Bennetts  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Mitti Street House / James Russell Architect Posted: 06 Aug 2017 01:00 PM PDT  © Toby Scott
 © Toby Scott From the architect. Mitti Street House is situated in a low-lying area at the eastern edge of Little Cove bordering Noosa National Park. The house and courtyards are elevated slightly above natural ground to deal with flash flooding, which occurs with the monsoonal rains. It is lovely to experience the rain but mosquitoes can be fierce!  Lower Floor Plan At its essence, the house is a large screened verandah in the rainforest making a place for Nigel to work or friends and family to stay. A home that is socially interactive within the family and to the broader community, a home that will cope with sun, rain, and flood for 50 to 100 years with little maintenance, a home that is comfortable all year without mechanical heating or cooling.  © Toby Scott Living and entertaining spaces are on the ground, a series of modest pavilions or 'fibro shacks' of a sort, make camp around the edges of the central gathering space and pool. Cooking and bathing to an open sky.  © Toby Scott The external face of the pavilions, courtyard, and verandah, both walls, and roof, are covered by shade cloth providing protection from sun, insects and neighboring houses creating a screened garden within the rainforest so one can strip off and enjoy balmy evenings in the forest.  Upper Floor Plan Holidays for Nigel are shared with extended family and friends. The house is a place for multiple families to gather, share meals and sleep. Upstairs, two parents bedrooms sit at opposite ends with three bed or bunk rooms for kids and visitors sitting in between along the edge of the central verandah. Parents can borrow the rooms between as required; almost like shop fronts opening out to the central ground.  © Toby Scott Mitti Street House was originally designed as a tensioned structure to wrap and protect the site. This was expensive and required more steel than we were comfortable using so close to the beach. Working with the engineer, and so as to manage cost and maintenance, the design evolved using concrete to make a ground plane for living and bathing, with modest hardwood timber and fibro shacks around and above.  © Toby Scott  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Instagram Is Changing How We Design Spaces (And Creating Incredibly Lucrative Businesses) Posted: 06 Aug 2017 09:00 AM PDT  "This place is really Instagrammable, you'll see what I mean." Walking into a tiled entryway and catching a glimpse of the cocoon-shaped swings, I saw fast. Planta, located on a busy street in Downtown Toronto is an Instagram magnet. And they know it. Opened last fall, Planta's geotagged posts grow daily, with several of the restaurants' key spaces photographed again and again. With jungle-inspired wallpaper, graphic tiling and a solid 14k following on their own account, the plant-based eatery means business. Instagram's parent-company Facebook announced it made $9.1 billion in earnings this quarter on advertising, retaining its longstanding rule over digital advertising alongside with Google's Alphabet ($26 billion). With Instagram absorbing competitor Snapchat's story features and increasing the number of sponsored posts it shows this year (yeah, we noticed), it's not a stretch to say that the social media giant sits at the center of food and beverage trends. But what happens to interior spaces when restaurants set out to be "Instagrammable"?
An article written by Casey Newton of The Verge outlines how San Francisco-based restaurant Media Noche pursued a strategy of designing its space to become a new Instagram-destination for influencers and foreign tourists visiting the city. What's interesting for architects is the allusion (quoted above) to themes from Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's Learning from Las Vegas. Is the graphic phenomenon behind Instagram interiors a 21st-century counterpart of sorts to the signs and architectural "ducks" explored in the book? Inspired by Newton's account, we've distilled the architectural criteria for designers who have Instagrammability in mind: Good LightingWhile an architect or interior designer might previously focus on how spaces would make a person feel through their atmospheric qualities, photographing those spaces wasn't a priority in their design. With Instagram, priorities get inverted: how a room looks when photographed is paramount. That dim lighting that simply looks grainy on your phone won't do the experience justice, so Instagram-centered design means flooding a space with (ideally natural) light. In order to take more beautiful photographs, designers Markoe and Barker of Media Noche chose the restaurant's location partly because of the amount of daylight it received. Additionally, renovated spaces for cafés and restaurants use skylights and large windows to make the most of their existing site as much as possible. The control of interior lighting is also important, with designers curating and creating light fixtures to accommodate that perfect photograph. (Tiled) FloorsEveryone loves a beautiful tiled floor, and it's not just designers. Maybe it's the classic square framing of the app, or the sheer popularity of accounts such as @ihavethisthingwithfloors (829k followers) and @parisianfloors (145k) – either way, tiles draw in a huge number of Instagram users. Tiles provide a visual connector throughout a restaurant space and, in addition to enabling the perfect feet-and-floor shot, also look great when photographed in perspective. For Media Noche, tiles were described as "the hook" for the restaurant's aesthetic, with its designer Hannah Collins searching through old Cuban designs to custom-make the tiles for the eatery's interior. Graphic WallsWhere the single-perspective shots of floors dominate one element of an Instagram interior, interesting walls provide fodder for the front-facing photographs. Unique or colored wallpaper creates a plane for users to compose their shot – whether with people or as a standalone photograph in itself. Leaves, flamingos, botanicals or graffiti – as long as it's distinctive, you've got a photographic goldmine. Everything KitschWhile the expressive kitsch that Venturi and Scott Brown wrote about in Learning from Las Vegas has waned (or at least stayed in Vegas), the aesthetic is back with a millennial agenda. Details, from furniture to fixtures, fuel the aspirational lifestyle content Instagram runs on. Tiki bars, in particular, are the epitome of kitsch, and with them, over-the-top cocktails are apparently enjoying a resurgence in cities like New York.  via Instagram
However, in addition to demonstrating how lucrative Instagram-driven design can be for businesses (and thus the designers they hire), Newton's article asks us to consider the other side of the equation. In addition to popularity, designing for social media also brings an "unsettling sameness" to the photos produced, as spaces with trigger-specific shots lead to the same pictures being captured again and again (as intended by the designers). The ritual of taking a certain photograph (floor, wall, interior) almost becomes a right of passage for individuals flocking to each new location. Restaurants and cafés become graphic raw materials to be mined by thousands of users who walk through their doors, smartphones at the ready. Some questions to close with: does Instagram enhance the experience of designed spaces, or subvert them? And once we acknowledge this aesthetic phenomenon, what is our responsibility as people who promote it? To read the full article from The Verge, go here.

| This Book Encourages Children to Build Their Own Russian Constructivist Playground Posted: 06 Aug 2017 07:00 AM PDT  © Zupagrafika It was alongside the rise of the Soviet era when the Russian avant-garde movement started one of the most influential creative revolutions in the 20th Century. The Constructivists, forming part of this wave, rewrote the history of art, design and architecture, and their legacy still remains contemporary.  © Zupagrafika The Constructivist allows you to playfully shape your own avant-garde community with geometrical forms inspired by some of the most seminal examples of Russian constructivist architecture erected between early 1920s and mid -1930s, such as: Melnikov House, Kirov Town Hall, or Nikolaev's House. Designed especially for children and their parents to engage them in a playful, interactive tour around the constructivist world of forms and colours, and practice their spatial imagination. Contains four press out comrades to assemble without glue or scissors. Includes an educative note on Russian avant-garde architecture and easy to follow instructions.  © Zupagrafika  © Zupagrafika  © Zupagrafika  © Zupagrafika  © Zupagrafika  © Zupagrafika  © Zupagrafika

 © César Béjar From the architect. This project was commissioned by a couple of friends he is a businessman and musician, she is an architect and painter and their two sons, the main request was to create a DIAPHANOUS space; The lot is located in front of the Cajititlan lagoon and the Sierra San Juan Cosalá mountain range, place that turns you into a spectator of the calm of the sunrises, the constant reflections of the lagoon during the day and the spectacular sunsets of clouds and lights over the mountains.  © César Béjar  Plan  © César Béjar The project respond to this ambience in the clearest and simplest way possible, with only two slabs and two volumes are created all the spaces, the first volume –STONE- contains the mechanical room and cellar, separates us from the street, its Height just enough to divide but at the same time suggests what is behind it, entering we have an inner courtyard only limited by four Willows, tree of the lagoon area, finally the covered terrace formed by two slabs, CONCRETE, floating on the ground, with glazing that allows to be totally open to see across the space, be part of the changing light of the day, be diaphanous, between these slabs the second volume, CARBONIZED WOOD, contains bathrooms and kitchen its location responds to block the light of the sunset, the columns on the opposite side lean and move to give an organic sensation like bamboo stems, for that reason they are born from the earth. In this way the project frame the view and allows to contemplate the front landscape from any point of the place.  © César Béjar  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| USC Architecture Students and MADWORKSHOP Collaborate to Combat LA’s Homeless Epidemic Posted: 06 Aug 2017 02:30 AM PDT  Courtesy of MADWORKSHOP Aggravated by limited upward mobility and a dire housing crisis, LA County's homeless population has shot up 23 percent to nearly 58,000 in the past year alone, according The Los Angeles Times. Their increased visibility recently guilted voters into passing (by a two-thirds majority) a sales tax increase (Measure H) and a $1.2 billion bond initiative (Measure HHH) to provide housing and amenities. With the city now better financially equipped to tackle the problem, a new issue arises: what to build?  Courtesy of MADWORKSHOP While LA has previously used public funds in collaboration with organizations (such as the Skid Row Housing Trust) to construct thousands of permanent supportive housing units, the current crisis calls for a new approach. The situation needs to be addressed fast, and the bureaucracy and lengthy design review that comes with erecting permanent construction is too inefficient to make a difference in the short term. An experimental new approach aims to house a large number of neglected individuals in transitional "temporary emergency stabilization" living units that can be rapidly constructed free of red tape.  Courtesy of MADWORKSHOP This past semester, 11 fourth-year USC Architecture students teamed up with the progressive design foundation MADWORKSHOP on an ambitious proof of concept dubbed "Homes for Hope." After months of prototyping full-scale mobile shelters, the team's work resulted in a fully-code-compliant, 92-square-foot modular and stackable living unit. At an as-built cost of only $25,000 each, these identical pods could be one of the most efficient uses of public housing resources in the city's history.  Courtesy of MADWORKSHOP A guiding ethos for the project is the importance of dignified, thoughtful design--regardless of the clientele. Each unit is equipped with a CNC-milled bed, dresser, desk, and plentiful storage and lighting. Despite frugally serving a public good, the project has stirred minor controversy. "I think shelter should be a human right, but architecture for those experiencing homelessness is some of the most stigmatized architecture there is" laments Sofia Borges, the director of MADWORKSHOP. "There's this judgment: why would you give them something so nice?" Yet even as temporary structures, the teams see potential for the units to beautify the City of Angels. Each pod can be safely stacked in a communal arrangement to occupy unsightly parking spaces or vacant lots. With this admirable project outlined, now the only question is if LA will run with it.

| Long Studio / 30X40 Design Workshop Posted: 06 Aug 2017 02:00 AM PDT  © Trent Bell
 © Trent Bell From the architect. Designed as a standalone multi-functional structure, the studio outbuilding was conceived of as a stage set and a lens through which to view the local site's changing seasons. Large and small apertures provide controlled views to the surrounding environment and the interior becomes a canvas for changing light patterns, sky conditions, snow, and wind. Part teaching tool - to help educate clients – and part learning lab, the studio is a place made for improvisation and experimentation. The compact footprint and humble presence conceal a deeper connection to the outside world and a strategy for courting new clients. The studio serves as a stage set for teaching others about architecture via videos published on 30X40 Design Workshop's YouTube channel. In this way, a small structure has the ability to impact a much larger world.  © Trent Bell Acting as a stage for musical performances, a place for family and friends to gather and a life-sized working mock-up of the practice's simple, agrarian-inspired design aesthetic, the studio illustrates to potential clients how modest, unassuming materials can be made to feel expensive. As a teaching tool, the studio illustrates how a few simple materials, plainly fastened together can be used to create modern, authentic and affordable architecture.  © Trent Bell  Elevations, Sections and Plans  © Trent Bell Natural light and multiplicity of use are the primary forces shaping the shell of the structure. The openings in each wall reinforce the lens concept, located to capture the variety present in the surrounding site. The small windows on the north and south walls open only to the tree canopy, while the easterly wall is almost entirely glazed and opens to the more public entry court and arrival space.  © Trent Bell Slatted barn doors were added to control the light and as a nod to the classic English barn. They too serve many functions: a means for buffering wind, minimizing heat loss and are used to modulate the daylight reaching the interior. The doors were an experiment and collaboration with local boat-building resources to economically provide aluminum fabrication for building components.  © Trent Bell To the west, slot windows were positioned at the vertical mid-point of the wall directing a standing viewer to the moss of the forest floor and a seated viewer to the trunks and foliage. This changing horizon line as one moves from standing to seated positions adds a visual richness to the simple structure. On the roof are two linear skylights of matching proportion to illuminate the central meeting and gathering space and offer a view to the ever-changing sky.  © Trent Bell The furniture and lighting concept is equally flexible adapting to allow for a variety of arrangements depending on interior use. All furniture including the linear tables, skylights, siding, and windows are derived from the same proportions and can be combined or separated as needed.

| Brasília From Above: Aerial Videos by Joana França Posted: 06 Aug 2017 01:00 AM PDT If you haven't gotten a chance to visit Brasília, Joana França's photographic projects offer a comprehensive interpretation of the capital of South America's most populous country. França has dedicated a significant part of her career as an architecture photographer to the pursuit of amassing an impressive archive of images of the city planned by Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer. We recently published an exceptional selection França's aerial photographs of Brasília divided by scale - residential, monumental, gregarious and bucolic. These overhead views solidify what, in theory, is already evident: the city lacks human scale, or the human scale of Brasília is just vast and (perhaps) not very human at all. Here we share a series of videos that corroborate what is shown in the photographs, but now with movement.
