 © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG Text description provided by the architects. The new Guelmim airport is integrated in an existing military infrastructure located 3km north of the city. The stakes of the project were simplicity, efficiency, environmental control and extensibility, which is a prerequisite for the durability of an airport. It is with this objective that the construction of the building was designed in 2 phases, resulting in a linear design parallel to the runways.  © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG  Plan  © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG The terminal building consists of 2 double height halls that hold the waiting areas which open onto the landscape on one side and on the runways on the other, protected by wide overhangs and a light-filtering façade. The low-emissivity metal filter is a patchwork of perforated panels that draw the shade and colour the light, subtly evocating the decorative themes of the region. The linear main building located between the bonded zone and the duty free zone is topped with a patio that provides natural light to the heart of the building.  © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG  Section  © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG The main issue of the project was providing the maximum amount of natural light and ventilation to avoid expensive technical equipment, while optimizing the view of the surrounding landscape, which facilitates movement and flow of the building's users.  © Fernando Guerra / FG+SG  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Kanyan Chow Text description provided by the architects. This house is the home of a couple with three children, a family with deep nostalgia for the countryside. It locates in an evergreen valley in Dongguan, China. The site is surrounded by mountain on three sides, the mouth of the valley looks to a forest of fruit trees, the hazy mountains sits as background far away. The house using light-wood construction, the building is made of modified wood, extremely durable in wet and humid conditions in Southern China.  © Kanyan Chow  Living Room Section  © Kanyan Chow The entry point of this design is to define the relationship between Nature, Manmade nature and Artifact. The volume was divided into individual living units, surrounding a courtyard while defined by which as two groups. The building groups forms two interface of living platform which devides the land into three gardens.  © Kanyan Chow Life penetrates through these different layers. Bedrooms scattered in different places around the courtyard, serving as private spaces of each family member. These private rooms are connected by different public rooms, each having windows facing the south. Leading by two main public rooms—living room and dinning room, the private and public rooms forms two rows of volumes. Corners, shadows, alleys come from the shifting and scattering of different units.  © Kanyan Chow Modern society detach Man from nature, while Man instinctively produce the urge to return to it. For this family, returning to land does not mean that we should totally negate cities. It is not their intention that they should stay away from modern cities. They are only trying to distinguish the part in civilized society that invades the original relations of human and nature.  © Kanyan Chow  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Stoss Landscape Urbanism Selected to Design Chouteau Greenway for St. Louis Posted: 12 May 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of Stoss Landscape Urbanism Ever since the City of St. Louis approved a sales tax to fund public greenways in 2000, citizens and planners have imagined a bike and pedestrian path along the city's main east-west corridor. Last week, that vision was brought to life as Stoss Landscape Urbanism was selected to design the Chouteau Greenway. Their proposed strip of green space and walkways will stretch from the iconic Gateway Arch at the city's eastern end to downtown, from there extending to Foster Park, which sits adjacent to Washington University in St. Louis on the city's western edge.  Courtesy of Stoss Landscape Urbanism Stoss, a Boston- and Los Angeles-based firm, was selected to complete the design in a competition hosted by St. Louis-based non-profit Green Rivers Greenway. A jury of nine local and international planners, architects, and designers selected Stoss' design, "The Loop + The Stitch," pointing to the firm's flexibility based on community input as central to their decision.  Courtesy of Stoss Landscape Urbanism Although the greenway's main vein, "The Loop," will traverse universities, civic space, and parks, Stoss' proposal also includes connection to the north-south axis of the city; that part of the greenway, "The Stitch," links "neighbors to neighbors and the visitor to the everyday authenticity of St. Louis." As Stoss explains of the project, "There are neighborhoods both north and south and stories of the city that deserve attention and unearthing, that are crying out for equitable consideration and meaningful engagement."  Courtesy of Stoss Landscape Urbanism All competition entries were reviewed by both the Chouteau Design Oversight Committee, a group of local partner organizations, and the Chouteau Community Advisory Committee, a group of forty St. Louisans who gave input on the projects throughout the competition. The finalists' designs were made public at exhibitions at libraries and libraries and community centers throughout the city, and anyone could fill out a survey giving their feedback. Green Rivers Greenways received over 2,000 responses.  Courtesy of Stoss Landscape Urbanism The project emerges as numerous other cities worldwide undertake intermodal connectivity projects, from rail-park conversions to bike highways. Stoss emphasizes their design as more than just a walkway; widenings at various points along The Stitch + The Loop will provide recreational space in addition to the mobility that the bike and pedestrian lanes will encourage. The first leg of the greenway between Boyle Avenue and Sarah Avenue will incorporate a MetroLink light rail station, funded by a TIGER grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

| Provencher_Roy Envisions Futureproof Timber Vertical Campus Building For Toronto Posted: 12 May 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of Provencher_Roy As their entry in a competition for The Arbour, a new academic building for the campus of George Brown College on Toronto's Lake Ontario waterfront, Montreal-based firm Provencher_Roy have revealed their design for an adaptable mass timber building that could grow and change in time. Using a staggered truss structural system that divides the building into modular cells measuring 8.4 meters tall, 17.4 meters wide and 40 meters long, the firm explains that the stacked program elements can be reorganized as necessary, with classrooms and double-height auditorium spaces able to be converted to basketball courts or column-free open offices by adjusting the cross-laminated timber flooring, which can be adjusted without compromising the rest of the structure.  Courtesy of Provencher_Roy Chosen as a runner-up from four finalists in the competition, which was won by Moriyama & Teshima Architects, Provencher_Roy's entry proposed an additional lightweight post and beam structure stacked on top of the main building to house the Tall Wood Research Institute, which will be dedicated to research on low-carbon mass timber construction methods.  Courtesy of Provencher_Roy  Courtesy of Provencher_Roy The proposed design also brings in light and extends the public realm with an escalating atrium, which could be opened up to adjacent park space on Sherbourne Common, connecting the college building to its nearby context and community.

| Trull Residence / in situ studio Posted: 12 May 2018 06:00 AM PDT  © Keith Isaacs
 © Keith Isaacs Text description provided by the architects. The Trull Residence is on a small corner lot in the suburbs. The lot is long north to south, with driveway access from the north and southern views of a forest and pond. The main view of the house from the street is from the east. The house is divided into two pieces – a solid sleeping volume and an open living pavilion – connected by a glass entry hall. A walled lawn, patio, screened porch, and south-facing deck surround the living pavilion on three sides, forming a network of private outdoor spaces overlooking the forest and pond.  © Keith Isaacs  Plan  © Keith Isaacs Our clients wanted a relatively large, single level house with expansive, constructed outdoor spaces. They are also very private people. Both of these priorities were at odds with the small corner lot they had purchased. The house relates to the street in an opposite manner to neighboring houses. Private and support spaces – bedrooms, bathrooms, office, laundry, and a large workshop – are in a solid volume at the street corner. Primary living spaces are in a glass pavilion at the back corner, overlooking the forest and pond and screened from the street by the private volumes. The main entry is not on the street, but is located at the center of the site, between the private and public volumes, accessing the house from the rear into a glass hall that connects the private and public spaces. The east façade reveals these distinct parts of the house – the grounded bedroom volume to the north, the glass connecting hall offering a glimpse to otherwise secluded outdoor spaces, and the living pavilion lifting above the site to view the forest and pond. A thin, low roof sweeps over the entire house.  © Keith Isaacs The house and outdoor spaces are built on a concrete foundation with CMU foundation walls. The bedroom volume is framed primarily with wood, and the living pavilion is made primarily of a steel frame. The roof is broad and thin, with four-foot eaves tapering to a six-inch fascia. The grounded bedroom volume, exposed foundation walls, and site walls are clad or formed with a burnished CMU, making them appear very solid. The lifted living pavilion is glass and wood, resting atop the constructed landscape and surrounded by CMU site walls. The house was carefully dimensioned so that no CMU blocks were cut during construction. Though the site falls nearly nine feet from the driveway entry to the southern end, the drive, carport, entry walk, walled yard, patio, southern deck, and all interior spaces are at the same level.  © Keith Isaacs  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Posted: 12 May 2018 05:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of Hala Younes As part of our 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale coverage we present the proposal for the Lebanon Pavilion. Below, the participants describe their contribution in their own words. Lebanon is participating for the first time at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia under the theme "The Place that Remains." The project has been developed by the curator, Hala Younes, Assistant Professor of the Architecture at the Lebanese American University (LAU).
 Courtesy of Hala Younes The Lebanon Pavilion will gather architects, artists, researchers, and Lebanese institutions under the theme 'The Place that Remains.' It involves a reflection on the built environment through a reflection on the unbuilt land and the possible visions for the future of our national territory and landscape. The focus will be on Nahr Beirut (Beirut River) and its watershed.  Courtesy of Hala Younes The project explores the preconditions for architecture through assessing its bedrock and the challenges protagonists face, such as the fragile nature of territory, scarcity of resources, and commodification. In the work, the territory is rendered visible, requiring the tangible/sensitive reality to be brought back to the center, whereby it becomes possible to identify, inventory, list, and shed light on 'The Place that Remains' and the conditions required for its preservation. The format chosen for the project is a combined 3D relief map, landscape photography and video surveillance, while the watershed setting allows its creators to ensure that the resources remain the key focus. __Courtsey_DAG.jpg?1525765735 "Aerial Photography, Liban.

| The Best Architecture Reads this Spring: 19 New Books Selected by Metropolis Magazine Posted: 12 May 2018 02:30 AM PDT  Courtesy of Metropolis Magazine Metropolis Magazine has released a curated list of 19 new books to read this spring, with topics ranging from the evolution of social housing to Stanley Kubrick's unfilmed masterpiece to a fascinating tome on the architecture of Zionism. Not simply volumes detailing well-tread histories, these chosen titles explore every niche category through the lens of architecture. Ever wondered how Buckminster Fuller inspired six former gang members to construct his geodesic dome? Or what metro stations in North Korea look like?
 Courtesy of Metropolis Magazine The list of books range from The Ordinary: Recordings, a slim volume of conversations with Rem Koolhaas, Denise Scott Brown, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto of Atelier Bow-Wow, and Enrique Walker, to Geostories, which showcases drawings of proposals relating to humanity's relationship with the Earth—including examples such as an atmosphere-less Earth, or supplying the Middle East with water from Antarctic icebergs.  Courtesy of Metropolis Magazine Other interesting titles include Inside North Korea by Guardian architecture writer Oliver Wainwright, which explores how the Kim dynasty has used architecture and public art to create the image of "a socialist fairyland" and Toward a Concrete Utopia, a selection of photographs and essays on Yugoslavian Brutalist architecture.

| Toshiko Mori Pursues Dialogue That Transcends Time and Space Posted: 12 May 2018 01:00 AM PDT Continuing their Time-Space-Existence series of monthly videos leading up to this year's Venice Biennale, PLANE—SITE have released a new conversation with architect and former Harvard GSD chair of architecture Toshiko Mori. Each video highlights the ideas that drive the work of well-known designers, with this episode focusing on Mori's philosophy of visual communication, dialogue with history and considering the future in her work.  Courtesy of Tashiko Mori Architect "Architecture is a product of a dialogue," says Mori, surrounded by immaculate white and natural wood-toned models. She then explains how drawing remains a vital tool for engaging in this dialogue, as it can facilitate communication across language barriers, as well as in areas of the world without access to computers.  © Paul Warchol Mori goes on to say how architecture allows her to engage in dialogue with previous generations of designers by making design decisions that engage with their precedent through contrast or contradiction. She also alludes to the power of sustainable architecture to create connections to the future, citing the Native American idea that with "every single decision you make, you should think of seven generations ahead."  © Hiroshi Abe Explore all of the videos in the Time-Space-Existence series here on ArchDaily.

| Posted: 11 May 2018 11:00 PM PDT  Denver Art Museum. Image © Bitter Brecht In the architecture world, few designers can claim to have a more clearly-defined style than Daniel Libeskind (born May 12, 1946). Much of Libeskind's work is instantly recognizable for its angular forms, intersecting planes, and frequent use of diagonally-sliced windows, a style that he has used to great effect in museums and memorials—but which he has equally adapted to conference centers, skyscrapers, and shopping malls.  © Bundeswehr / Mandt <a href='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Festakt_zur_Neuer%C3%B6ffnung_des_Milit%C3%A4rhistorischen_Museums_der_Bundeswehr_-_Daniel_Libeskind.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en'>CC BY 2.0</a> Born in Poland shortly after the end of the second world war, Libeskind's parents were Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. As a child, Libeskind was a talented musician, but after his family moved to New York when he was 13, Libeskind set out on the path toward architecture. He received a degree in architecture from The Cooper Union in 1970 and a postgraduate degree from the School of Comparative Studies at Essex University for History and Theory of Architecture.

He finally started his own firm in Germany soon after winning the 1989 competition to design the Jewish Museum in Berlin, which—after a decade-long development period—became a runaway critical success and the platform for a hugely successful career.  Dresden's Military History Museum. Image © Bitter Bredt, Courtesy of Studio Daniel LIbeskind Libeskind transferred his firm's headquarters to New York City in 2003, following his appointment as masterplanner for the redeveloped World Trade Center site. Through projects such as these, Libeskind has established himself as one of the world's foremost architects in projects which deal with tragedy and loss. Yet this has not prevented him from finding success in more commercially-driven markets; Libeskind has even established an industrial design studio, Studio Libeskind Design, which has developed products for clients in over ten different countries since 2012.
