 © Sergio Grazia Text description provided by the architects. The project of the Nurses training Institute (IFSI) is located on the Saint-Dizier Hospital Center site. The massing of this university building is simple, rational and sequential, there are 2 levels combining 2 volumes. The first one, on the ground floor, is clad with perforated panels for shading. The forecourt is protected by an awning made of the floor cantilever. Inside, the entry lock opens on the vast crossing hall, developed as an interior street under the glass roof.  © Sergio Grazia  Ground Floor Plan  © Sergio Grazia With signage and furniture, this bright space is a convivial and living space between the poles. Rough concrete materiality is enhanced by walls great height opening on the first floor and the sky, and by the lighting effect. Space organisation around the interior street creates informal meeting spaces while being fluid and functional. The different rooms, classrooms, tutorial rooms, offices, library, students room, etc., benefit from natural light and clear views.  © Sergio Grazia Glazing treatment protects from glare and offers soft light. The building orientation provides free solar gains and energy performance strengthened by reinforced concrete building system. This thermal comfort is completed by a green roof. The building is a qualitative and attractive tool for the students and the teaching and administrative staff and enables them to work and learn in the best environment.  © Sergio Grazia  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © John Madden Text description provided by the architects. Sitting peacefully in an open field, this off-the-grid sustainable house captures the views without compromising on environmental performance. Located at Franklinford in Victoria's Central Highlands, the four-bedroom home is shared between two families, providing a gathering place for the extended family and a place to relax and relish the joys of rural life. Taking its cues from agricultural buildings in the surrounding farmland, this modular home is predominantly clad in Colorbond with accents of Vitrabond. Yet upon approach, it's the radially sawn timber board & batten clad form that commands attention. This beautifully textured façade conceals the calm rural retreat, with the long form providing a sense of enclosure and privacy.  © John Madden Internally, a light material palette makes for a crisp and spacious home. Rooms are washed in white, a marble-effect Caesarstone benchtop is selected, and white laminate joinery is used throughout. These elements create a beautiful contrast to the dark oak timber floors. The large living wing, separated from the private bedroom wing, is the focal point of the home. Living and entertaining spills outdoors thanks to expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing opening up to a north-facing, sun-drenched deck. Views of the surrounding paddocks and creek are captured the moment you walk in the front door. The window itself becomes an ideal space to put your feet up and relax.  © John Madden  Ground Floor Plan  © John Madden Being a rural property, a mudroom laundry with external access was a must –a seat was even included in the joinery brief so that you can take off your dirty boots before heading indoors. The house is completely off-grid with all services systems designed to not compromise on the clients' lifestyle. A nearby shed hosts the solar panel and storage system and a large 80,000L water tank are in use. Like all Modscape modular homes, Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) have been incorporated to create a highly-insulated shell. The house has been oriented to capture the sunlight in winter, particularly in the large living area where the families spend the majority of their time. Carefully considered eaves together with thermally broken, low-e double-glazed windows which minimises solar heat gain in summer.  © John Madden  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Haewook Jeong Text description provided by the architects. Hongeun-dong building owner couple are people who know their lifestyle exactly and enjoy living their lives. In addition, they knew how to ask this clearly to an architect. Because of these aspects, Hongeun-dong house started with an effort contain the way the couple deal with their lives.  © Haewook Jeong The land on Hongeun-dong hill has many difficulties for a young couple in their early 30s to establish their newlywed home. It is a place where you have to climb up a steep slope where there is no public transportation for a while. However, there is a beautiful view in front of your eyes that can compensate for the inconvenience. They have chosen the place where they can maximize the value they pursue rather than worrying about minor inconveniences in life. I think it might have been the best place for the couple who always wanted to have a country house with a panoramic view.  1F Plan  © Haewook Jeong  2F Plan  © Haewook Jeong  3F Plan There was also a clear demand in the way to organize space. The husband whose hobby is remodeling motorcycles wanted to have a large garage with various functions where he could enjoy his hobby and spend time with his friends rather than just a space for parking in the basement. They also wanted a large yard instead of things what most of people ask for such as large living room or dress room. Various detailed items were designed for the couple who live with several puppies, including a private entrance for the puppies coming after playing in the yard and a small door on the stairway connecting the first and second floors so that only the couple can use the second floor. In addition, we installed a skylight on top of the staircase room that can be open and close electronically for the couple who think of the view that the place has as one of the most important thing, so that they can utilize the rooftop more actively.  © Haewook Jeong We just focused on creating a space that actively reflects the fun lifestyle of the owner couple. That is because the communication with the building owner was the most important reason for this house.  Section Working on designing the house for this couple in Korea now, which is being called 'heaven of apartments" was meaningful. A residential space is where we spend the most time, but if we adjust our lives in a space that has been built like a machine and not even realizing this, that would be an unfortunate thing. It was a project that was able to prove that building a luxury house by spending a lot of money is not the only way to build the house your dream, and that you can build a home for your happy life if you understand the life you want for yourself and have the will to realize it  © Haewook Jeong  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Students Build a Suspended Bamboo Pavilion With 3D Printed Joints Posted: 16 Dec 2017 08:00 AM PST  © Barak Pelman The Academy Bezalel students' bamboo project, in Jerusalem, is a proposal that approaches the construction in real scale and the experimentation with materials as an important driving force of architectural design. The project, a suspended bamboo pavilion, can be reused with different configurations in different places with its joints made up of ropes and 3D printed pieces.  © Yifat Zailer  © Barak Pelman From the architects. Located at the entrance courtyard of the Architecture Department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, the Bamboo Pavilion welcome visitors, students, and faculty with an inspiring play of shadows and lights, and invites them to engage with the hanging bamboos while challenges their perception of being "inside" and "outside".  © Yifat Zailer The Pavilion is a result of a Design-Build summer studio that focuses on actual building and experimenting with materials, as an important driving force of architectural design.  © Yifat Zailer  © Barak Pelman It is based on the belief that the learning process of designers and architects is significantly enhanced through “hands-on” engagement with the realization of full-scale prototype structures, through which they can test spatial ideas and attain a deeper phenomenal understanding of their design.

| A Lawn Circle 70 Meters in Diameter Took Over Plaza Mayor in Madrid Posted: 16 Dec 2017 06:00 AM PST  Cortesía de Ayuntamiento de Madrid / Difusión Earlier this year the Plaza Mayor in Madrid awoke covered by a giant meadow of natural grass. A circle of 70 meters in diameter, without any restriction of access, allowed Madrilenians to take a break, sit down, read a book or simply take a picture, enjoying this urban landmark from a new perspective. This seemingly simple, but impressive doing is the most recent intervention by the anonymous artist SpY was part of Four Seasons (Cuatro Estaciones), an urban art program run by the Madrid City Council to celebrate the IV Centenary of the Plaza Mayor.  Cortesía de Ayuntamiento de Madrid / Difusión Public access was not limited nor there was a time limit, so the public could walk through the room 24 hours a day. Once the installation was completed and disassembled, the lawn of the intervention was due to be sent to a specializeded company that would recycle it by converting it into natural fertilizers.  Cortesía de Ayuntamiento de Madrid / Difusión Lawn ( Césped) was the third intervention of Four Seasons and corresponded to the activity that set off autumn. Last March the French artist Antonin Fourneau and the graffiti artist SUSO 33 welcomed the spring with Graffiti with lights and the Spanish collective Luzinterruptus presented Waste Labyrinth to welcome summer last June.

 © David Cervera Castro Text description provided by the architects. The land is located north of the City of Merida, Yucatan, in the Country Farm, has a privileged location for a house, as it is one of the most traditional and central residential areas of the City, near Avenues principal, but on a quiet street with little vehicular traffic. The area for the development of the project enjoys a very wooded environment and has 20.00 meters of front x 36.00 meters of a bottom with orientation east-west. The design of the project responded to a great extent to these factors, as well as the needs of the user who inhabits it, a young but traditionalist family that wanted something modern and functional.  © David Cervera Castro With a plot of 735.00m², a program of 494.55m² was solved on two floors. The concept for this solution was to create a large central courtyard to the north of the land and a large social block that has the distinction of being a living room, living / dining room, dining room, bar, terrace, since all the corridors of the house are large windows that hide in the walls to completely change the space and adapt it to the user's needs, all this block together with the kitchen look towards this central patio, the services were located in the southern part of the land as a buffer of the house, and to the east the pool and the garden.  © David Cervera Castro  Ground Floor Plan  © David Cervera Castro On the upper floor, there are the bedrooms and a study area, totally private. The main façade faces west, creating a very private and closed image, which in turn makes the house open to the interior with all the spaces facing the central courtyard.  © David Cervera Castro  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

This document is composed of fourteen volumes and its publication was made possible by a laborious process in which, for a year, architects, historians, and graduates of Fine Arts, had analyzed more than 3,800 buildings in rural, urban and peri-urban areas, as well as in industrial properties in the four Galician provinces. ![Galicia.

Image © ondasderuido [Flickr], licensed brand CC BY-SA 2.0 In order to cover all its architecture and give specific recommendations adapted to the different contexts and characteristics that may exist, the guide divides the geography of the autonomous community into twelve areas and establishes four different types of buildings. The twelve fixed areas are: Western Mountains; Plains and graves of Luguesa; plains, trenches and Ourensana mountains; Minho and Sil canyons margin; South coast- The Baixo Miño region; Central Galicia; Rías Baixas region; Western plains and wells; Gulf of Ártabro; Northern Galicia and the Mariña-bajo Eo. Of the four types of buildings defined, the first one is the one of the traditional architecture and its evolution until the mid-20th century; in which it is recommended to use for its traditional technical rehabilitations, stone in the walls and wooden joinery. In second place, the recent architecture, which includes the built since the 60s, with distinctions between urban and rural. In these cases, the guide offers freedom of materials and focuses on colors, which should be consistent with those of the environment in which it is located and, however, it is recommended that they have a matte finish. ![Pontevedra.

In addition, the guide also sets maximum limits of brightness and saturation for all colors to ensure harmony. Although the manual is not mandatory, it will be available to all Galician councils so that they can guide and give recommendations to both the different agents involved in the architectural project and the owners of the buildings.

| Could Cork Be Nature’s Answer to Our Environmental and Construction Needs? Posted: 16 Dec 2017 01:30 AM PST  © Wai Ming Ng Unbeknown to many, cork is something of a dark horse when it comes to the environment—a model of a sustainable industry and building material. By its very nature, cork is both recyclable and renewable, as it is the only tree that regenerates its bark, while harvesting that bark causes the tree no harm. Cork has been sneaking its way into our buildings for many years now; due to its hard-wearing properties it can be found, for example, in the checkerboard flooring of the Library of Congress. Even NASA has been wise to cork's light weight and insulation capacity, using it as an insulator for their space shuttles.  <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/nh53/5873034272'>Flickr user NH53</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> Only recently have we seen a growing curiosity over cork as an external cladding material for buildings. Despite what many assume, cork is extremely waterproof (why else would we trust it as a stopper for our precious wine), resistant to abrasion, and acts as a fire retardant and an acoustic insulator. Its also has desirable aesthetic qualities, giving buildings mottled earthy tones and natural patterning. Portugal is the largest producer of cork in the world; it is here where the material begins its life as the bark of cork oak trees in large agricultural forests called montados. The process by which the cork is handled couldn't be much more sustainable: it is harvested by stripping the outer layer of skin off the tree with a small hatchet that then regrows in time for the next harvest. In the factory, the cork is shredded and compressed at high temperatures, causing it to expand and the sap to melt to form a glue that binds it all together. Once cooled, it can be cut to measure ready to be put up as cladding. None of the harvested bark goes to waste in the process apart from the dust produced along the way. And that's it—no added ingredients!  <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/pollobarca/7931491464'>Flickr user pollobarca</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/'>CC BY-SA 2.0</a> In Portugal the regulations for the cork industry are extremely tight, ensuring sustainable production, and the trained workers are paid a good living wage. By law, cork oaks cannot be harvested until the tree is at least 25 years old and even then, it can only take place every 9 years. The trees also require no pesticides, irrigation or pruning. The stripped trees absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide and release more oxygen, so Portugal's montados are often referred to as the "lungs" of the environment. According to the World Wildlife Fund, they also play an important role in protecting biodiversity in the forest:
An increase in demand for cork would benefit the environment, as the industry would need to plant more trees that encourage these habitats to grow and consume more carbon dioxide. The adaptability of cork as a material has meant many buildings are beginning to use it for both external and internal uses. When used internally, in the case of the Heart Clinic by Dost, the cork regulates humidity, absorbs odors and provides comfortable sound reverberation, perfect for a clinical environment that aesthetically benefits from an organic, warm atmosphere. As cladding, the impermeable cork protects the building against the elements for a significantly carbon negative material.

| Schönberghalle / Herbert Hussmann Architekten Posted: 16 Dec 2017 01:00 AM PST  © Stefan Müller
 © Stefan Müller Text description provided by the architects. In the vicinity of the historical "Pfullinger Hallen" by Theodor Fischer, the multifunctional gymnasium "Schönberghalle" is situated within one of the typical orchards of the Swabian Alps. The building is partly buried into the softly sloped terrain, forming front courts and entrances on two different levels. The main access for athletes is found on the lower level, together with the playing field and the changing rooms. The entry for visitors is placed on the upper level, leading directly to the foyer and further on to the spectator area above the playing field.  Courtesy of Herbert Hussmann Architekten  Ground Floor Plan  © Stefan Müller The facade is made of anthracite pigmented, water-repellent precast concrete elements, giving the building a more restraining appearing. The entrances are visually accentuated by oak-wooden inlays and give a first impression of the material used inside the main hall. Robust materials are used in floor- and side room areas, whereas the walls and ceiling of the main hall exhibit high quality oak-wooded carpenter work. Due to the contrast of materials, the main hall is reminiscent of the inside of a jewelry case. In the sport area, floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow wide views of the picturesque surroundings. If necessary, the facade can be completely concealed by an exterior cover.  © Stefan Müller A smaller gymnastic room on the top floor complements the sports areas. Here, a panorama window functions like a frame for the famous "Pfullinger Hallen", appearing like a picture on the wall. Both sport rooms are visually connected via an interior window. Built around that interior window is the gymnastic rooms cabinet, forming a seating recess which offers a special place for watching the activities below on the field.  © Stefan Müller  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Unforgettable Prefab Pavilion Plays with Light and Wind Posted: 16 Dec 2017 12:00 AM PST  © Nicolas Saieh Sarovic_Plaut Arquitectos’ latest work, “The Grater,” was the Bazar ED 2017 entry pavilion. Last November, Bazar ED’s 13th annual fair united design, decoration and trends at Santiago’s Bicentennial Park. The pavilion is the first thing people see when they enter the fair and the last thing they see as they leave, making it a particularly memorable space. The spatial atmosphere created by Sarovic_Plaut Arquitectos plays with light and wind to enhance visitors sensorial experience.  © Constructo  © Nicolas Saieh Being a temporary installation, the pavilion was designed as a prefabricated structure. Once the architectural components were fabricated, they were assembled on site in the park. The experimental nature of “The Grater” is what made it unforgettable to visitors.  © Nicolas Saieh “The Grater,” was made of steel and Aislapol, high density polystyrene mono-block walls. It stood at 4.5 meters high with a thickness of 50 cm and circular perforations that differed in size.  © Nicolas Saieh  © Nicolas Saieh  Exploited Axonometric Even the roof is perforated so as not to resist the passage of strong winds brought on by the river-side site. Two opaque, metallic graphite panel boxes signify the entrance and exit against the white Aislapol. Inside the structure, two cylindrical tile skylights bath the pavilion with a warm light and a natural light penetrates the facades through the Aislapol wall perforations.  © Nicolas Saieh The work was a great experience in terms of the experimental construction system, volumetric expression and ability to activate at different moments. During the daytime, it has a unique interior effect thanks to the strong presence of the sun, with shifting lights and shadows due to perforations in the Aislapol walls. At night, its inner light transforms the structure into a referential architectural artifact within the park.  © Nicolas Saieh  © Constructo Cliente: Bazar ED_Arbol Color  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
