 © Alfonso Calza Text description provided by the architects. The house is located in Campolivar, Godella, it is a large house on a plot of more than 2000 m2 that includes the most notable features of our architecture office, large horizontal planes of concrete that float between glass panels that enclose the interiors spaces. The house, which occupies a plant of 600 m2 between ground floor and first floor, is organized through a geometry based on the sum of two figures, the "I" and the "L", the first, developed on two floors, contains the night area, with the suite below, three bedrooms on the top floor and the guest room.  © Alfonso Calza  Ground Floor Plan  © Alfonso Calza The figure in L corresponds to the day area with the living room and kitchen. Both figures are joined by a bridge volume that includes the entrance hall and the staircase on the ground floor and a study area for children on the first floor. The volume corresponding to the room generates a series of cascaded spaces formed by a concatenation of structural sheets that define the final image of the volume. The kitchen is designed to be the place where daily life develops, it is placed at one end of the L, displaced from the rest of the rooms and is totally turned over to the garden, directly connected to the covered terraces, the barbecue and the swimming pool.  © Alfonso Calza The large basement opens onto an English patio where part of the foundations of the old Roman irrigation ditch that passed through the area has been recovered. The house is a set of horizontal and vertical concrete planes that break with the dominant aesthetic in the area since it is located among villas of more than 100 years in the oldest area of Campolivar. This uniqueness has become the hallmark of the Perretta architectural firm.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 Courtesy of HOH Architecten Text description provided by the architects. The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of the University of Amsterdam is a centre for interdisciplinary research and brings together young international scientists to generate ideas, broaden knowledge and develop new research methodologies. Biologists, sociologists and economists work together on topics such as climate change, immigration and financial crises. In addition, Nobel Prize laureates are invited to discuss urgent interdisciplinary issues.  Diagram IAS moves into two canal houses on the Oude Turfmarkt, no. 145 and no. 147, in the very heart of the Amsterdam city centre. The two buildings were designed by the famous 17th century architect Philips Vingboons in 1642 and built as identical twin houses. The twins were separated at birth however. Different use and different owners left their tracks in the buildings. The facade of no. 147 was even completely replaced in 1882. No wall, floor or ceiling finishing was identical anymore when HOH Architecten started to work on the project. One could say the buildings had been reduced to a collection of rooms of which there are always two with the same proportions, one in no. 145 and one in no. 147.  Courtesy of HOH Architecten By converting the two buildings into the new home of IAS the twins are physically and programmatically reunited after three and a half centuries. The rich history of the buildings formed an inspiration for the architectonical transformation. The mirroring of the buildings, the continuous building and rebuilding, layer upon layer, generation by generation, is part of the DNA of the premises. This gave HOH a handbook to sometimes reconstruct parts of the rooms but also radically intervene wherever the new function asked for it.  Diagram  Diagram Another source of inspiration was the new user. Reflecting, redefining and discovering, characteristics that IAS expects from its scientists are also introduced as spatial principles in the design. An architectural play between physical and visual, old and new, reality and perception must ensure that both users and visitors need to redefine their way of interacting, working and collaborating.  Courtesy of HOH Architecten HOH has worked with the qualities they found per individual room and what came to them during the construction process. As a result, IAS has not acquired one dominant house style, but has become a mix of different styles, each room being unique and attuned to the new function and with its own materiality and atmosphere. Precisely through the cross-fertilization between different styles, users and spheres, IAS has acquired its own identity and unity was found in diversity  Courtesy of HOH Architecten  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Hive Hotel Facade Remodel / Preposition Architecture Posted: 11 Feb 2018 04:00 PM PST  © Yuchen Zhao
 © Yuchen Zhao Text description provided by the architects. This is a facade remodel project commissioned by a new owner of an old hotel building. The old hotel was the largest hotel in Luo-dong when it was built in the 70's. Luo-dong is a town with a population of 70 thousand, located on the north east coast of Taiwan. It was historically a center for lumber business of the region and has been transformed to a tourism hub when the timber industry declined in the 80's. The original hotel was a successful hotel for businessman at time but has been unable to attract tourists when the tourism develops quickly in the town. The hotel had been dismal since then for decades. The mission of this project is giving the hotel a new identity so that the architecture can continue its life through the new era of the town history.  © Yuchen Zhao  Surface Adjustment Diagram. Image Courtesy of Preposition Architecture A strategy combining renovation and preservation was quickly established: Remodel only the facade facing the main road, preserve the rest of the original building skin as detailed as possible. The building may not have much public recognition but was a true local landmark bearing the history of a generation in the region. Preserving and reinstating the connection to the local history is as important as (if not more important than) giving the building a new outfit.  © Yuchen Zhao  Brick Surface Section. Image Courtesy of Preposition Architecture Most of Luo-dong's tourists are from the nearby Taipei metropolis. Foreign tourists from cities in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and other southeast Asia also stop by this town occasionally. Located at the center of this small town, the new hotel sets a business strategy targeting urban high-end customers. It is crucial having a design that forges global and local atmosphere together.  © Yuchen Zhao  Facade Isometric  © Yuchen Zhao Standard, off-the-shelf brick emerges as the key element. This ancient building material has proved itself being highly adaptive and capable of handling contemporary technology. Algorithmic computer tools and digital fabrications are utilized to create a textile-fabric-like facade and improve construction precision and speed. Instead of robotic construction, local masonry workers are commissioned to this challenge and they instantly realize that it will be the first of its kind and scale in the nation when completed. A mock-up was constructed to test the feasibility of the construction method and budget, giving confidence to both the masonry workers and the owner.  © Yuchen Zhao Bricks from local brick kilns are originally preferred and researched but they end up not fit to the design and construction requirements. All bricks are manufactured in Korea and shipped oversea to Taiwan, then handled and constructed by local workers in town.  © Yuchen Zhao  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Ben Hosking Text description provided by the architects. The Little Big House is located upon the eastern slopes of Mount Wellington, high above Hobart. At 450 meters above sea level, set within a forested landscape, this house encounters snow in the winter months.  © Megan Baynes The siting of the residence is mindful of its context; positioned close to and perpendicular to the curvilinear road.  © Ben Hosking The house, on a vacant lot between established houses and gardens, is defensive and diagrammatic. Tucked carefully between cadastral constraints and a magnificent birch tree, the footprint has been kept deliberately small. The dwelling is stacked across two levels which step to accommodate the undulating terrain.  © Ben Hosking It's just a box. A clean volume with two exceptions; a service core and an entry air-lock. Walls, floors and ceilings in the main space are treated uniformly, in white, to create a simple light interior. The entry, kitchen and bathroom spaces are designed to be deliberately, theatrically small and are finished in black, in contrast to the larger white volume.  Flor Plan 00  Floor Plan 01 The house is designed to be intensely private. Given the cool climate, the house has two essential strategies – to hold the heat and find the light. Apertures are purposefully positioned to create pure window types opening to either garden, sky or shadow.  © Ben Hosking The Little Big House is clad in vertical unfinished timber continuing traditions of local vernacular building in Southern Tasmania. The front door entry is set back and this timber remains golden in contrast to the remaining façade which has silvered with time. Each piece of timber is finished with a handmade z flashing to ensure the longevity of the façade. Polycarbonate cladding on the eastern and western facades render luminous shadow walls which enable the house to be concurrently light and contained. At ground level views are limited to that of the immediate garden to the north. Living and dining functions occur alongside an elongated strip window.  © Ben Hosking Long views to the Southern horizon are only revealed from the mezzanine level which provides sleeping spaces. The house has three full height vents which stand ajar in the summer months providing natural cross ventilation. A wood fire provides a ceremonial hearth and heats the home.  © Megan Baynes A small home with big volumes, the house is a bespoke building in a cool climate. Eschewing many of the traditions of Australian architecture, this house is distinctly Tasmanian.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Zechner & Zechner Create a Mixed-Use Complex Beside Peter Behrens' Modernist Icon Posted: 11 Feb 2018 08:00 AM PST  Courtesy of Zechner & Zechner Viennese firm Zechner & Zechner has been announced as the winners of the competition for the new landmark complex NeuBau3—a mixed-use district at Peter-Behrens-Platz in Linz, Austria—after a unanimous decision by the jury. The proposed structure will complete the existing site of German architect and designer Peter Behrens' modernist Tabakfabrik Linz, a tobacco factory built between 1929 and 1935.  Courtesy of Zechner & Zechner While Behrens is noted for mentoring modernist icons from Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe to Walter Gropius in the early 1900s, his highly original industrial facility and tobacco factory designed with Alexander Popp is equally significant. Built in a style touted as New Objectivity, Behrens' Tabakfabrik Linz is considered the first steel frame building in Austria and a "radical functionalist masterpiece."  Courtesy of Zechner & Zechner Due to the site's role in the city's fabric as well as architectural importance, the competition brief asked for the development of a prominent street front, pedestrian routes, active courtyard, respective addition to the city's skyline, and a sensitive relationship with the western portion of Peter-Behren-Platz to establish a city district encapsulating creativity, education, employment, and social development.  Courtesy of Zechner & Zechner Zechner & Zechner's winning proposal features a flexible mixed-use, live-work-learn podium of approximately 200 student apartments, residences, studios, and office spaces stacked atop ground-level retail with a school and kindergarten accessible from the central courtyard. An 81 meter-tall tower at the corner of Gruberstraße and Untere Donaulände will house a 140 room hotel with office space above in addition to a restaurant and skybar allowing for views over the Tabakfabrik site as well as the city of Linz. Beneath the car-free pedestrian zone, the architects have integrated two floors of approximately 600 parking spaces while providing connection to the future subway station.  Courtesy of Zechner & Zechner The design is anchored by a porous courtyard that allows traffic from streets like Gruberstraße to flow naturally into Peter-Behrens-Platz. The shared bases of the individual structures and integrated openings enable the site to "radiate out," according to the architects. Connected by steps and ramps, the courtyard is intended to function as an event space as well as a new public area that binds the new district together.  Courtesy of Zechner & Zechner Ultimately, the proposal is intended to connect Behrens' iconic structure with the new development through a "coherent ensemble" of massing in relation to the existing site while bringing a renewed vitality to the area.

| Selldorf Architects To Reinstall Collection at The High Museum of Art Posted: 11 Feb 2018 06:00 AM PST .jpg?1518019722 "Courtesy of The High Museum of Art") Courtesy of The High Museum of Art The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia has announced that award-winning New York-based Selldorf Architects have been selected to develop a large-scale reinstallation of the institution's galleries in collaboration with the museum staff. The renovation will encompass all seven of the collection areas—from Photography and European Art to Decorative Arts and Design—while emphasizing visitor experience, contemporary narratives, and the strengths of the Museum's holdings to create a cohesive experience thats deepens engagement inside the Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano-designed complex. .jpg?1518023429 "Courtesy of The High Museum of Art") Courtesy of The High Museum of Art "The reinstallation of the collection is an opportunity to create a more coherent and unified experience throughout the High," explains principal Annabelle Selldorf. "We are very excited to be working with a collection of such depth and quality in buildings by two architects whose work I hold in the highest regard."  Courtesy of The High Museum of Art As the first comprehensive revision since Renzo Piano's 2005 extension, Selldorf Architects will address wayfinding, signage, space planning, mounting, wall configuration, casework, fabrication, object location, accessibility, and lighting functionality across the High Museums' Stent Family Wing, Wieland Pavilion, and Anne Cox Chambers Wing. The addition of rotating special project spaces and dedicated environments for the extensive collection will also be integral to the new scheme. According to chief curator Kevin W. Tucker, "Our vision for this reinstallation project is to highlight the incredible strengths of our collection while connecting these widely ranging works through shared interpretive schemes embracing equity, diversity and approachability."  Courtesy of The High Museum of Art Selldorf Architects' previous portfolio of museum projects range from the refined David Zwirner Gallery in New York to the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, among many others. Current projects include major enhancements to The Frick Collection in New York and the expansion of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. The renovations will begin in late spring 2018, with the galleries closing in May, and are expected to be unveiled in October 2018.

| Time – Spatial Distortion / Jocelyn Cueto Posted: 11 Feb 2018 05:00 AM PST  © Jocelyn Cueto, Rodolfo Rey
 Concept “Time – spatial distortion” installation was selected among other projects for the anniversary of Corriente Alterna School of arts. The call for proposals was announce under the title “Take the school”, so for the author this meant to shake up the dynamics found in the historical architecture of the place and its contemporary extension.  Axonometric View  Floor Plan Reflecting on the thought of architecture as an act of freezing time, came the idea of using the possibilities in its interaction with art to represent something closer to an actual dynamics between history and the contemporary, since time isn’t really made of linear defined stages. This topic encourage an exploration of the possibilities in the links between architecture and art, with M.C. Escher as a main reference. (See Escher’s Other World, Relativity and Belvedere)  © Jocelyn Cueto, Rodolfo Rey Concept: Emerging bases, time concepts and space perceptions. The things that make the foundation of a person, a society, a profession, a school, a thought, or anything intangible, cannot be equivalent to a physical construction: initial supports that stay at the bottom of a space. Or for that matter, even when the stage of a foundation has been well overcome it doesn’t only belong to a past time.  Concept In our society the prevailing concept of time is the linear vision: past – present – future just like an architecture of base – body – top. The present (the body) sits upon the past (the base), and the future (the top) will do the same, in this vision anything immaterial is also thought as a block by block development. Nevertheless, intangible basis are more complex, more like alive organisms that may have started at a foundational past, but will always find a way to be present and influence the contemporary time.  View In this way, the intervention may then be an analogy for a historical foundation that refuses to be static at the bottom of a space, so it sprouts towards the contemporary architecture that sat down on it before. The historical architecture of the patio represents the foundation of the school, and is now a dynamic central organism that blossoms towards its own contemporary extension, influencing and even shaping the present time space, as it always does. Understanding that our foundations don’t just stay in a rigid past at the bottom of time can rearrange our way of living with history and perceiving time – space.  © Jocelyn Cueto, Rodolfo Rey  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Posted: 11 Feb 2018 01:30 AM PST  © Kimson Doan This article was originally published by The Architect's Newspaper as "A wave of affordable and market-rate housing could soon wash ashore in California." In recent months, legislators in California have begun a concerted effort to use state law to address the state's ongoing housing crisis. The moves come amid worsening regional inequality that has pushed housing affordability outside the reach of many populations. Facing mounting pressure from a growing cohort of pro-housing YIMBY activists and increasingly grim economic and social impacts—including a sharp increase in the number of rent-burdened households and the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness—state-level legislators have begun to take action where municipal leaders have thus far stopped short.
Late last year, the California State Legislature approved a bundle of housing-focused bills in what amounted to the first key win for state-led housing reform efforts. The legislature passed a total of seven bills aimed at streamlining permitting, enforcing regional housing production benchmarks, and preventing municipalities from down-zoning parcels or rejecting by-right projects. Several of the bills also aimed to stimulate new housing spending for affordable units, including a measure that will allow for a low-income housing-focused $3 billion bond to go onto the November 2018 statewide ballot and a measure that institutes a modest levy on certain real estate transactions in the state in order to raise up to $250 million each year for low income housing construction. The two combined measures could make over $8 billion in new funding available for affordable housing production over the next decade. These bills followed the adoption in late 2016 of a streamlined Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance that legalizes backyard homes across the state while also providing minimum zoning standards for ADUs that homeowners and developers can follow when local rules do not exist. The shift has led to a surge in ADU applications across California's big and small cities alike, as homeowners move to build new ADUs while also legalizing existing bootlegged units. In a blow to NIMBY activists, the move also essentially doubled the residential density of the state's single-family zoned lots overnight, with the added benefit that ADUs developed in certain areas—historic districts, ½-mile from transit—could be built without added parking. A recent report from the University of California, Berkeley's Terner Center for Housing Innovation concluded that "ADUs are poised to play a significant role in alleviating California's housing crisis and state, regional, and local leaders should continue to examine ways in which barriers to this type of development can be removed." The report cited an explosion in building permits for ADUs following their legalization, with 1,980 units pending in Los Angeles for 2017 compared with just 90 the year prior. Efforts are currently underway to continue to streamline ADU development at the state level. Hopes of using state law to right California's housing market were boosted further this year by the introduction of SB 827, a transformative new state law that would, among other things, override local planning code to raise height limits and boost density while abolishing parking requirements for lots located near mass transit. The bill is authored by State Senator Scott Wiener—one of the authors of several of the 2017 housing bills—and has the backing of many of the state's increasingly influential pro-housing activists. Specifically, for properties located within ¼ mile of a transit corridor or one block from a major transit stop, the bill would disallow height limits lower than 85 feet, except for when a particular parcel fronts a street 45 feet or less in width, in which case the minimum height limit would drop to 55 feet. The bill would also forbid height limits below 55 feet for all areas ½ mile from transit routes. The law, if passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, would also forbid the imposition of minimum parking requirements for parcels within a ½-mile radius of a transit stop or within a ¼-mile radius from a transit corridor. One of the bill's strengths is that these provisions lump high-performing bus routes in with light and heavy rail infrastructure, making their potential effects across the state quite vast, as many of its major cities have extensive bus networks. Wiener's bill is seen widely as a potentially earth-shattering piece of legislation that would upend decades' worth of ever-tightening local control—often at the expense of density and new construction. The abolition of parking minimums in particular would represent a sea-change in car-loving California, where parking takes up a lot of space and significantly adds to the cost of building new housing. Policy Club, a collective of digitally-savvy professionals who aim to utilize data to help politicians craft "smarter public policies that will move the needle on some of California's most pressing challenges" has generated a visualization that postulates what some of the changes in density, parking, and maximum height might look like for the City of Los Angeles. Hunter Owens, a Policy Club contributor, explained that, at least in LA, parking reductions associated with the bill will do the most to change the way the city builds in response to the bill. Owens said, "We were surprised to find that it's the parking requirements that are keeping building heights and density down," adding that many potentially affected areas in LA already benefit from lenient height limits. Doing away with parking requirements would allow housing developers to build more of the units they are entitled to build and make for a more efficient use of land, the maps show. The group is currently working to digitize city planning codes from across the state in an effort to create more visualizations. Another potential benefit from the bill would be the dramatic increase in the number of new sites where deed-restricted affordable housing units could potentially be built if SB 827 and the affordable housing bond pass later this year, according to Brian Hanlon of California YIMBY. SB 827 would permit nonprofit developers to build affordable housing in many so-called "high-opportunity" areas throughout the state that currently prohibit dense development. The bill would also dramatically expand the production of deed-restricted affordable housing in cities with inclusionary zoning policies, since building market-rate homes also requires providing homes for low-income Californians, Hanlon explained. These changes could make deed-restricted affordable housing an additional major force in resolving the crisis by incentivizing—rather than requiring—inclusionary development along transit routes. That component, as well as the other provisions of the law, could generate "millions" of potential new units, according to Hanlon's early projections. Though official estimates are still pending, the prospects for lots of new housing construction are good if SB 827 passes later this year.

| How To Create An Architecture Portfolio in Virtual Reality Posted: 11 Feb 2018 12:00 AM PST  Cortesía de SentioVR
A portfolio is the standard way for architects to show their work and their style, process and brand. Over the last decade, portfolios have evolved from paper to digital, primarily because it is more time and cost efficient to maintain a digital portfolio and keep it up-to-date. Within the realm of digital portfolios, choices can range between an app, a PDF, to a web-hosted portfolio. Architects usually choose to use JPEGs as the main element of the portfolio and may add text or other digital media like video or audio. However, with the increasing use of new technologies like Virtual Reality to present architectural work - there is a strong case for creating and maintaining an immersive VR portfolio of your work to differentiate your brand in front of your audience and embrace newer technologies. We will look at the key aspects of creating and sharing a VR portfolio for architecture projects. What does a VR portfolio look like?
A VR portfolio works as an extension of your digital portfolio with the added advantage that your audience can view the spaces in 360°. This creates a feeling of presence and enables a better understanding of your work. Here's a sample VR portfolio in order to explain the idea using www.sentiovr.com - a web platform for presenting spaces in VR. How can I get 360° content for my projects ? To make your VR portfolio, the most important requirement is to have 360° images of your projects. Again, depending on what you need to show, there are various ways of creating 360° content of your projects. There are also 360° cameras of good quality and affordable price, like the Samsung 360 or Ricoh Theta that can instantly create 360° images without any training. How can I create and share a VR portfolio?  Cortesía de SentioVR Now that you know how to get 360° content, you can use the online web platform www.sentiovr.com in order to create a customised VR portfolio and share with your clients. The VR portfolio can be shared using a link that enables anyone to view them in 2D on a PC/mobile browser or a Google Cardboard. Even better, you can share a unique 6 digit code of your portfolio on a Samsung Gear VR using the Sentio VR app on the Oculus Store.
