 © Marc Torra Text description provided by the architects. Remodelling an old ground floor flat with the request, almost impossible to fulfil, to increase its surface, becomes a perfect excuse for us to propose both a horizontal and a vertical redistribution of the place.  Axonometric Considering the difference of height that existed between the interior surface and its prolonged back garden and having quite a big free fall, we decided to lower the level of one part of the floor in order to insert an intermediate platform. At the same time, this intervention connects one part of the house with the level of the garden and lifts the other one over the inside and the outside domestic landscape.  © Marc Torra  Floor Plans  © Marc Torra In order to connect the three levels that we obtained, we put a concrete carpet touching the cut that we stretch in order to link all the spaces in the house: from the kitchen to the garden passing by the lower level of rooms and the dining-room. And to access the upper level that we have built, we lift the carpet.  © Marc Torra  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © João Morgado "(…) a daring delight for the senses, where the unlikely happens and Magic abounds!"  © João Morgado Looking at this project, it is indeed the sensations we experience that leave their mark as we think, walk and live through it.  © João Morgado  Floor Plan  © João Morgado This project was clearly inspired by the place, a piece of land surrounded by chestnut trees, incredibly ripped into the mountain, flanked by a stream that flows down the hillside and a magnificent open view of the other side of the valley perfectly nestled into the natural landscape.  © João Morgado It was this bucolic scenario that led to an enterprise that had no intention of imposing itself on the surrounding nature, but rather blending, hiding and transforming with it. It gave rise to the "Cloaked House" concept.  © João Morgado This is how the house lands on the location and the "deviates" from the existing trees, emphasizing the lightness attitude and the conservation of the surrounding nature. The two blades – the roof and the floor – open onto the landscape and are punctuated whenever encountering a tree. This has resulted in patios that introduce dynamism and movement into a house marked by a well-defined rhythm of the wooden pillars, which support the garden-topped roof. The rest is transparency, glass, which is the only solution that makes sense in this scenario.  © João Morgado In summer the dense leafiness of the trees "engulfs" the whole house, making it almost imperceptible at the same time as protecting the interior from the intense sun. In winter the deciduous trees shed their leaves, allowing the sun rays to penetrate inside and warm up the house, making it slightly more visible among the bare branches.  © João Morgado Whether indoors or outdoors, living in the forest or with the forest, exposed or in communion, a distinct project, which is difficult to explain but which fuels the will to live.  © João Morgado  Section  © João Morgado  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 Urban Fragment. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao Text description provided by the architects. Xie Zilong Photography Museum is built on the banks of the Xiangjiang River and within the Yanghu Wetland Park in Changsha. The base is just in the visual corridor of the Wetland Park connecting the Xiangjiang River scenery belt. It is a cultural and artistic highland built by the government. The photography museum, the Xiangjiang new district planning exhibition hall, which we have completed before (2009), and Li Zijian Art Museum (2016) constitutes the cultural living room of the citizens of Yanghu.  South Elevation. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao  North Elevation. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao Based on the idea of complying with the value cognition system of "autonomy" of architecture, through the continuous research and practice of regional typology, this project explores the "archetype" in architectural ontology, and finds out the "psychological schema" behind it. In addition, with the influence of Giorgio de Chirico's metaphysical painting, we were trying to find out the implicit logic behind the formal language-"type archetype-deep structure-psychological schemata" under the social prospect of pursuing splendor and representation. And will be integrated into the design of "Xie Zilong Photography Museum ".  West Elevation. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao  Ground Floor Plan  A Place with a Skylight. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao The metaphysical painting of Chirico is the meditation of eternity, through the"light and shadow", the picture diffuses mysterious spaciousness and profundity, profound sense of tranquility. The design of the museum use the familiar objects in daily life to metaphorize and construct a maze of time stagnation, which guiding viewers to pay close attention to alienated strangeness. Directed at the huge cone tower in the sky, the truncated streets suspended in mid-air, a fork in the road that leads nowhere, the cycle of reciprocation, and the mysterious ramp that staggered to look out......  The Path Intersection. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao  Entrance Platform. Image © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao Some of the elements appear many times in similar but in alienated forms, that all together create a strange feeling of time stagnation, eventually people got lost. The white warm fair-faced concrete wall makes the spatial structure of the building show the most essential neutral condition, highlighting the mystery of the material. The spatial depth gradually emerges through light and shadow, intertwined with the memory. The maze is an ambiguity metaphor that refers to the lost place as well as the fascinating and intoxicated place.  © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao The main body of the building is one-off cast of white fair-faced in-situ concrete, no matter the wall, ceiling, ground or outdoor square, platform, trestle that only use the same material of fair-faced concrete. This construction itself is transcendent. In order to pursue the quality and performance of fair-faced concrete, a large number of samples were made in the early stage of construction. Sample wall and white concrete grading test: use high quality white cement instead of traditional Portland cement as the main gelled material, select white or light color sand as aggregator. At the same time, the active mineral admixture which has great influence on the whiteness of concrete, such as fly ash and mineral powder, is eliminated.  © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao A series of improved tests have made the whiteness of concrete up to even exceed the international standard of 88%. It is the whitest fair-faced concrete building in China. The image hall materials deliberately pursue white, white as a concept. It can reduce the interference of the inherent color of the material to the other components in the space and not lose the texture of the fair-concrete itself. White is still the expression of "empty" to some extent, which not only emphasizes the art in the museum, but also reserves more thinking space and possibility for the choice of art.  © Arch-Speaker - Li Yao  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 Courtesy of IBUKU Text description provided by the architects. Aldo's Kitchen was one of the first bamboo buildings in the area, imagined by Aldo Landwher, a former sculptor and jewelry designer who conceived the original buildings of the Green School, for John Hardy. The building also strongly inspired the design of the Heart of School at Green Schoo Bali, where the form was repeated 3 times, maintaining proportions and similar ideas.  Courtesy of IBUKU It was initially designed to be a restaurant, but it is currently the headquarters of the IBUKU office, highlighting the versatility and longevity of the bamboo structure. Defit Wijaya, senior architect of IBUKU, explains that the design was based on the shape of a snail, spiraled and without orthogonal parts. "With 3 levels and a large central tower, it allows the entrance of zenithal light and was fitted with the exhaust chimney for the kitchen at the core of the ground level."  Courtesy of IBUKU Due to the climate of the region, there are no perimeter walls, allowing for abundant ventilation, which even runs through the floors, due to the permeable bamboo floor. Large eaves do not allow rain to enter the environment. .jpg?1515172484 "Model. Image Courtesy of IBUKU") Model. Image Courtesy of IBUKU The structure is composed mainly of Dendrocalamus Asper, known locally as Petung, whose useful length reaches about 18 meters. Bamboo pillars equally spaced with each other follow the spiral shape, with the beams that support the roof positioned radically, from the central tower.

 © Shengliang Su Text description provided by the architects. Mulan weichang is located in the north east of Hebei province, connected to inner Mongolia grassland, which is one of the most beautiful landscape on the earth. The ancient chinese emperors used to hold autumn hunting festival through the history.  © Shengliang Su Our main goal is to blend the building into this vast nature seamlessly. 3 different ways are create in order to achieve the goal. The first is to be inspired by local architecuture. The second is to use local material including old stone, used wooden beam and ratten. Together with surrounding micro landscape, the building could fit into the vast nature.  © Shengliang Su The relationship between architecture and symbolism is so overwhelmed along the human history. The most difficult part of the project is to create eternal relationship between grassland and the building. Many elements are taken from the traditional yurt building, for example: the pattern and the facade. Two big circles create the main living room, extending the traditional yurt layout.  1F Plan While the extended boxes become the semi-public space. This kind of layout makes the yurt fit the modern life style. In terms of facade designing, by creating wooden frames in different thickness, the flower shaped roof could be made.  © Shengliang Su The interior space is derived from the traditional yurt interior by using framing in different direction. The main core of the building is the double circled lobby, also served as an local library. The second floor provides the area for kids. The design concept of the main loby is based on the yurt interior. In the future, it will also be the central library for the region.  © Shengliang Su  © Shengliang Su Local children could come here to read and play.By using the sunken living space, the lobby creates an intimitive space for people. The extended windows become the main framing towards vast landscape. People could have different views towards mountain, river, grassland and sheep. The open kitchen area creates a shared space for inviting all guests to cook together.  Courtesy of HDD The main structure of the building is steel framing, combining with triple layered low-e glass pannel. The outside wooden frames become the shading system for the building. The connection of the wooden frame follow the tectonic principle.  © Shengliang Su All the stone and wood come from the local area for the sustainable development. The construction method with prefabricated pieces could make sustainable development on the grassland.  © Shengliang Su Surround the building is the area of micro landscape, creating dynamic experience for vistors. The glass roof of Stargazing hut floats on the top of the grass. This particular small pavilion provide great experience for astronomy enthusiast.  © Shengliang Su In the future, it will also be the central library for the region. Local children could come here to read and play. In the future, this building become The Catcher in the Rye for this region.  © Shengliang Su We hope different people with different faith could come here to play together, sharing different ideas to forge into a strong group.  © Shengliang Su  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Margot Krasojević Designs Self-Excavation Hurricane House Posted: 14 Jan 2018 08:00 AM PST  Courtesy of Margot Krasojević Architects From futuristic architect Dr. Margot Krasojević comes an unheard of design solution for hurricanes called the Self-Excavation Hurricane House. By using the storms force and a helicoid retaining wall, the structure digs itself into its intentionally designed landscape.  Courtesy of Margot Krasojević Architects The residential program is held within a precast reinforced concrete superstructure frame. When the hurricane's eyewall hits, the wind force moves the superstructure along the helicoid retaining wall and excavation begins. Hydraulic column lifts pivot the house. A reinforced concrete core acts as the buildings anchor, sitting atop a cable grid foundation. Inside, flexible rubber-coated concertina wall sections adapt to the buildings rotation.  Courtesy of Margot Krasojević Architects  Courtesy of Margot Krasojević Architects For this design, the landscape is arguably as important as the structure. The house is encompassed by an artificial wetland island to repel flood water, similar to a bioswale. Excavated ground is pushed away from the building via a sixty-four timber section irrigation system. With the drainage system at work, this project aids land reclamation and water purification.  Courtesy of Margot Krasojević Architects As the building moves into place it mirrors the hurricanes movements. The storm passes over and around the building while simultaneously dissipating.

| C.F. Møller Wins Competition for Active-Learning School in Copenhagen Posted: 14 Jan 2018 06:00 AM PST  Courtesy of C.F. Møller In May 2017, C.F. Møller and Tredje Natur's interactive education design won the New Islands Brygge School competition. The new education facility sets up innovative, sustainable and active spaces for sixth to ninth grade students to participate in experience-based learning.  Courtesy of C.F. Møller The schools triangular shape, natural materials and colors derive from its urban context. Surrounded by Islands Brygge, the Port of Copenhagen and Amager Commons, the building is almost 10,000 square meters with an additional 4,000 square meters of outdoor space. Transparency between interior and exterior spaces enhances the importance of outdoor play and movement for students throughout the school day.  Courtesy of C.F. Møller "The context is incorporated in the site, the roof and the public path. The school's staircase motif gives a pedagogical ascent up to the roof, and the building's form adds a dynamic to the location. The focus on the culinary school and biotopes ensures contact with the commons' nature, as is also emphasised by the three entrances and corners in the combining triangle, which each in their own welcoming way draw the surroundings into the school," says C.F. Møller Partner and architect, Lone Wiggers.  Courtesy of C.F. Møller  Courtesy of C.F. Møller Inside, the double height dining hall acts as an internal 'hub,' connecting the schools many different functions. From the dining hall, visitors can see, smell and experience the home economics and catering kitchens. But culinary education doesn't stop inside. Once outside, students have planter beds, greenhouses, an outdoor kitchen and campfires to cultivate their own crops and learn outdoor cooking. The active green roof also houses a running track, parkour area and enclosed ball pitch. So no matter what kind of student you are, you're sure to find something to learn in or outside the new Island Brygge School.  Courtesy of C.F. Møller  Courtesy of C.F. Møller  Courtesy of C.F.

 © Tim Griffith Text description provided by the architects. VISION  © Tim Griffith  Level 1 Plan  © Tim Griffith SITE AND PROGRAM  © Adam Hunter  Diagram 2  © Tim Griffith DESIGN  © Tim Griffith The concert hall features a suspended "theatroacoustic" system, unifying acoustics, lighting, and life-safety requirements into a dramatic, multi-functional architectural expression, and the resulting intricately sculpted element is assembled out of 946 unique, folded-aluminium composite modules digitally fabricated from modules digitally designed and fabricated from the architects' parametric model. In the recital hall, red-coloured acoustical panels optimize the room's acoustical properties while incorporating a wall-sized shingled-glass window that unites the performance event with the urban experience. In the three major rehearsal spaces, high ceilings are filled with swarms of brightly coloured, kite-like reflectors that vary between solid and perforated to achieve dynamic acoustical and lighting effects.  © Tim Griffith  Section 1  © Tim Griffith  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 10 (More) Houses and Their Inhabitants: The Best Photos of the Week Posted: 14 Jan 2018 04:00 AM PST  © João Morgado The appearance of people in architectural photography is rare. When they do show up, people are usually added to help the viewer better understand the size and design elements of a building. However, in recent times, several photographers have warmed to the idea of capturing houses with their inhabitants, showing the people who live there and how they inhabit the spaces. After the success of our previous round-up of people photographed with their houses, this week we bring you 10 more houses captured by renowned photographers such as Hiroyuki Oki, Peter Bennetts, and Ricardo Oliveira Alves.

| Will Bamboo Ever Achieve Widespread Use in the Construction Industry? Posted: 14 Jan 2018 01:30 AM PST  © José Tomás Franco After years of publishing projects and articles related to bamboo, we are strongly aware of its qualities as a construction material. But is it really an option that you would use into your next project? Despite widespread appreciation, bamboo seems to be a material that is rarely considered for use in everyday designs. The team of Manasaram Architects and CGBMT asked themselves the same question. Together they are seeking to understand the current perceptions of bamboo and to discover its potential as a commonly-used material in the construction sector. To help in this pursuit, they have shared a survey with us which seeks to evaluate how often architects and building professionals use bamboo, the problems they face, and how informed they are about the material. We would like to invite our readers to spare 10 minutes of their time to help us expand knowledge about the use of bamboo using the survey below. The results will be shared on ArchDaily once the study is complete. Your answer and the answers from the related professionals at your firm will be of great importance and confidential. Thank you very much for your contribution to a more sustainable future!  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Villa in Herzliya Pituach / archiFETO Posted: 14 Jan 2018 01:00 AM PST  Courtesy of archiFETO
 Courtesy of archiFETO Text description provided by the architects. The size of the lot is approximately half a dunam; the area of the house is about 320 square meters. As soon as we saw the location – its proximity to the Herzliya sea – we immediately felt that the required design for the building's envelope had to be clean and modern, while featuring facades resting on an old stone hill surrounded by water.  Courtesy of archiFETO  Ground Floor Plan  Courtesy of archiFETO One of our main goals while planning the residence was to avoid designing one more villa in Herzliya Pituach which would shutter itself behind high walls, completely ignoring its surrounding urban context. We decided not to raise any wall at all in front of the house, but rather, in order to expose the façade and the landscaped pool, we created a "meeting point" – a square, if you wish - at the junction between the streets. In this way the structure of the house both influences and is influenced by its environment.  Courtesy of archiFETO Concurrently, in order to preserve privacy in a house not surrounded by walls, we designed the landscaped pool to encircle the house wherever it faces public areas, raised the entrance floor above the street level, and arranged for most of the intimate spaces to face the inner courtyard of the house.
