 © Jan Kuděj Text description provided by the architects. SANANIM is one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the Czech Republic that provides services in the area of prevention, treatment and re-socialization of non-alcoholic drug addictions. Therapeutic community is a facility for long-term, in-house treatment and social rehabilitation of approximately 20 clients. The treatment consists of four phases that differ in the level of requirements, responsibility, and competences. The treatment includes group therapy, individual counselling, work therapy, endurance and sport programs, and leisure activities.  © Jan Kuděj The Farmstead The farmstead dates from the 18th Century and it is located near the Blanice River in the South Bohemian Region. In 1995 and 2005 the building was extended and remodelled, unfortunately in an awkward way. The historic context, structures and materials were inconsiderately damaged. We focused on introducing efficient layouts and detailed design of the new volumes because NGO budget was limited and the overall technical condition of existing buildings wasn't bad.  Site Plan  Section The Design Our strategy was to make the latest intervention clearly recognizable, but in function, detailing and materials, we wanted the old and new to remain linked. New volumes are wooden structure with light glass walls and spruce formwork or dark plywood cladding. We proposed local terracotta tiles for all floor finishes.  © Jan Kuděj Some of the rooms have special importance to the Community. Community room – room where the group therapy takes place – is the only space that protrudes out of the farmstead circumference. The meaning of it is that the therapy is a special occasion. All troubles and memories are blown away to the orchard via sliding glass walls. The symbol of a circle is formed of simple lights on the ceiling or arrangement of chairs.  © Jan Kuděj Glass corridor inserted into the courtyard is a vivid place where clients meat and talk. It connects the courtyard to all spaces of the community. The Club is a spacious common room built inside the barn. It is the spot where clients and therapists meet informally. The clients alone prepare the food and cook. Daily meal is an important ritual. Dining room is set in the oldest corner of the farm, where the remains of old stone walls are visible. A small stone portal was restored to highlight the entrance to this room.  © Jan Kuděj  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Future Stage Creations Text description provided by the architects. The design for MediaCorp is the winning scheme of an invited international competition in 2011. Nested within Zaha Hadid's masterplan, the building is shaped by the critical junction of Ayer Rajah and Stars Avenue on a long triangular site. It is designed as a gateway to Mediapolis.  Diagrammatic Plan  © BaiJiWen, DP Architects The formal design strategies represent a new paradigm for a broadcasting center where the Media Centre is not only an efficient and functional working environment, but also a publicly-oriented facility welcoming visitors from around the world. It is aimed at attracting and inspiring visitors by showcasing the unique operations of the broadcasting center. A distinct ascending tour route is designed into the facility allowing visitors to learn and observe the fascinating work that unfolds within MediaCorp. It is also aimed at engaging the adjacent parkland to create synergies where the Centre and Park provide various attractions related to media for the public to enjoy. In this way, the complex will not only function as a base for broadcasting entertainment but the complex itself becomes an entertainment grounds where enriched experiences and creative culture energize Mediapolis as a whole.  © Future Stage Creations The formal design solution provides a unique form and place to each of the three primary programs: The 1,549 seats Theatre, the Broadcast Centre and MediaCorp's Corporate Offices. The three building forms in unison, create a gateway, a "view corridor" acting as both a pedestrian spine as well as public plaza with a grand stairway with 50 steps commemorating Singapore's 50th Anniversary at the time of opening. At the top of the stairway is a "viewing plateau" that links the park and traversing spine with major public amenities such as cafes, restaurants, and gift shops. Visitors and passer-by can enjoy panoramic views from the viewing plateau over the park and Mediapolis beyond.  © BaiJiWen, DP Architects  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| John McAslan + Partners and Woods Bagot Deliver Sydney Metro Upgrade Posted: 17 Mar 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of John McAslan + Partners John McAslan + Partners and Woods Bagot are the architectural partners delivering the Sydney Metro upgrade to Central Station, a key component of Australia's largest public transport project. The multi-disciplinary, international design team have revealed a design that will preserve heritage qualities of the 112-year-old station while adding contemporary and innovative touches to create wider civic and commercial renewal within the space. The upgrade to Central Station is a major part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project, a $20 billion project which will deliver faster and more efficient public transport for customers across the network. The renewal of Central Station, the backbone of Sydney's public transport network and Australia's largest railway station, aims to better connect customers to trains, buses, light rail and the new Sydney Metro. With more than 250,000 people passing through the station each day and numbers estimated to rise to 450,000 in the next twenty years, the project is hugely significant for the future of Sydney's transport system.  Courtesy of John McAslan + Partners
 Courtesy of John McAslan + Partners The design by John McAslan + Partners and Woods Bagot establishes a clear relationship with Walter Vernon's original architecture by reflecting existing hierarchies, arches, and openings. Through sculptural and sweeping form, the new design adds an atmosphere of contemporary efficiency to the existing history of the original station. While delivery of the core scope of works has been a priority, the design also creates a series of "urban rooms" – civic scale spaces such as new triple height spaces as part of a broader urban and civic approach.  Courtesy of John McAslan + Partners
 Courtesy of John McAslan + Partners Woods Bagot Principal, John Prentice, imagines that Central Station's new underground concourse will "eliminate the 'travel trudge'. Our design approach has been to walk in the shoes of the customer every step of the way to create a truly great experience. "Finding your way around intuitively in uncluttered and beautifully finished spaces has been a major design focus. Customers will freely and effortlessly move through the space, know where they are at any time, and change easily between trains, buses, light rail and the new Sydney Metro."

| Turkey's Entry to the 2018 Venice Biennale to Offer Space for Creative Encounter Posted: 17 Mar 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of İKSV As part of our 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale coverage we present the proposal for the Turkish Pavilion. Below, the participants describe their contribution in their own words. Curated by Kerem Piker and coordinated by Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), the Pavilion of Turkey will present Vardiya (the Shift) at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, taking place from May 26th to November 25th, 2018. Co-sponsored by Schüco Turkey and VitrA, the Pavilion of Turkey is located at Sale d'Armi, Arsenale, one of the main venues of the Biennale. Conceived in response to the theme of Freespace, the title of the Biennale Architettura 2018, Vardiya offers a programme of public events with the Pavilion of Turkey, providing an open space for encounter, exhibition and production.  Courtesy of İKSV Envisioned as a spatial and temporal staging base, the Pavilion of Turkey will provide a participatory platform for workshops, digital roundtable discussions and meetings. Placing the study of architecture at the center of the programme, Vardiya launched an open call for video responses to the questions: Why does the biennial exist? What does the biennial do? For whom does the biennial exist? 452 students from 29 different countries and 70 cities from USA to China, India to Costa Rica applied for the project. Out of these applicants, 122 international architecture students will be invited to visit the Pavilion of Turkey in weekly shifts as active producers of the evolving exhibition content. The programme will kick off with video installations, through which participating students question the purpose and role of the biennial. Curator Architecture is a field that is constantly expanding, transforming and renewing itself. As such, there is a need for environments where architectural knowledge is reproduced, shared and discussed, and the voices of new participants are heard. As the International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia is one of the most important informal learning arenas in architecture, we prefer to describe the Pavilion of Turkey as a space for meeting, encounter and production rather than merely an exhibition space. In order to strengthen and diversify participation, as well as expand the curiosity of new actors in the field, we organized an open call for applications to imagine the Pavilion of Turkey as a meeting space for architecture students from all over the world. 122 selected young architects will meet with professionals, academicians and enthusiasts from different backgrounds, co-produced with scheduled programmes and co-create an exhibition that expands on these productions. Along with the participants, who we believe are a crucial part of contemporary culture and architectural debate, as curious individuals asking questions and constantly improving themselves, we strive to understand each other and be productive together. We also see this exhibition and the preparation process as an opportunity to rethink what a biennial does, for whom, and why it exists in our time.

 © Estudiograma Text description provided by the architects. The architectural design approach of this residence was born by the analysis of the topography. A terrain of marked slope with a registered wood and a headwater on the background. Responding to this marked characteristic, in favor of the space to be projected, the residence was characterized by its arrangement in two volumes, garage/dwelling. The primary aspect of the project was to establish communication with the existing wood, to provide users, the feeling of immersion in the native forest.  © Estudiograma On the principal volume is located the garage, with space for a small workshop and a passage on the same level for barbecue area/lookout over the second volume. Through the access staircase, a lower walkway leads to the central floor, that concentrates the social areas in a unique environment, integrating living room and kitchen. On the lower floor are the private areas, with the couple room and their supports.  © Estudiograma  Longitudinal Section  © Estudiograma The tectonic design solution is characterized by using raw materials such as concrete, which brings the marks of its manufacture (shape) and which creates a dialogue of purity with the existing wood around the residence. Large openings in the main parts, allow direct visual contact with the wood and access of natural light to the building. In the short-lived places, the use of indirect light was defined by means of skylights, creating an illumination of scenic character.  © Estudiograma  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| This Curated List of Art Museums Showcases Buenos Aires’ Exhibition Architecture Posted: 17 Mar 2018 05:00 AM PDT  via Wikipedia User: HalloweenHJB Licensed Under CC BY-SA 3.0 Even in the age of instant information, museums enthrall us. Lining the tourist guidebooks of cities across the world, art museums are a must-see destination for visitors and locals alike. However, as our methods of communication and archiving change, driven by science and innovation, historic institutions such as art museums must keep up. In cities around the world, art museums are redefining themselves to respond to the contemporary, experimental demands of the 21st-century. In Buenos Aires, the architecture of art museums showcases a diverse catalog of form, materiality and atmosphere, blending the instant, flexible demands of the modern age with a historic role of archiving some of humanity's most evocative works. Below, we paint a picture of Buenos Aires' diverse art museums, showcasing the changing nature of exhibition architecture in one of the world’s most energetic cities.

| David Chipperfield's Amorepacific Headquarters in Seoul Photographed by Laurian Ghinitiou Posted: 17 Mar 2018 02:30 AM PDT .jpg?1521224014 "© Laurian Ghinitoiu") © Laurian Ghinitoiu Amorepacific, Korea's largest beauty company, occupies a site in the centre of Seoul, Korea. Their headquarters was designed by David Chipperfield Architects as a single clear volume, with large urban openings and a central void. In the middle of a bustling downtown landscape, the building strikes a bright, open figure. The Amorepacific HQ took three years to complete and opened in 2017. The firm described the building as "abstract and gestural," with hanging gardens that provide dramatic views over the city and the mountains in the distance. The design echoes aspirations of mediating between local and global, private and public, collective and individual, formal and informal.

Text description provided by the architects. This project was created with the aim to respect the tradition but keeping the XXI Century spirit. From the beginning we thought that it was fundamental to defend the values and essence of the client as laywer from the historic center of Hondarribia, a nice village located opposite the French coast. Everything that this represents and is sensitive to its local identity and culture throughout the architecture has been respected. We are very pleased to be part of the history kept on these existing walls and we really wanted to let them be the main protagonist that coexists with all of us. At the same time, a powerful language code has been created to give the identity and personality to the business the same as the place where it is located.  Plan When we were appointmented for this project in 2015, we found a tiny 35sqm area of darkness which had been abandoned more than 50 years ago. The space needed improvement and consolidation works. The original beams and the fragile timber staircase were reinforced with steelwork. Also the original stone partition wall and the existing main entrance door. Afterwards we only had to create a great furniture unit that was functional and fitted in.  © Jon Alkain Zendoia The space was divided into three areas:  © Jon Alkain Zendoia From the point of view regarding space the store area had three important problems: The size ( only 35sqm for the programme requested by the client ), the distribution of the space (a narrow tube), and a poor natural light (openings only in the front facade).  © Jon Alkain Zendoia All these problems, plus the strong conviction to respect the original space, generated some conditions and commitments in the future design:  Axonometric View -At the back a powerful artificial lighting was installed to try and create the feel of a patio plus with the idea to show the company logo which can be seen from the main street entrance.  © Jon Alkain Zendoia We think that the challenge has been resolved in the best way. We have been able to mix the past and the contemporany languages together creating a co-existence between them to preserve the original character of the place. All this makes us smile.  © Jon Alkain Zendoia  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Contemporary Architecture Captured by Mexican Photographers Posted: 17 Mar 2018 01:00 AM PDT  via Portada The history of Mexican photography has contributed to highlighting Mexico's presence in the world. Photographers like Elsa Medina, Lola Álvarez Bravo, Graciela Iturbide, Maya Goded, and Juan Rulfo have masterfully portrayed the life of the buildings, houses and the streets of a rapidly built, nineteenth-century Mexico. As a consequence, the contemporary scene of Mexican photography has become a fundamental tool for architecture and has contributed to a better visual understanding of the works that are erected every day. Photography and architecture are two disciplines that go hand in hand and whose relationship has been reinforced thanks to the digital tools that we currently have. For that reason, we have compiled the work of contemporary Mexican photographers who record our walk through the world we live in and contribute to constructing the image of contemporary Mexico. Lorena DarqueaLorena Darquea (1987), is an Ecuadorian architect and photographer who graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM), at its Monterrey campus, in 2010. She started in architectural photography and visual arts at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland.
