Image © Tom Harris As part of our 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale coverage, we present the completed United States Pavilion. To read the initial proposal, refer to our previously published posts, "Curators and Theme Announced for US Pavilion at 2018 Venice Biennale" and "Studio Gang, Diller Scofidio + Renfro Among Exhibitors Selected for US Pavilion at 2018 Venice Biennale" The pavilion representing the United States at this year's biennale brings together the work of seven different transdisciplinary teams who each prepared an installation addressing the concept of citizenship at a different scale. Entitled Dimensions of Citizenship, the exhibition is intended to challenge the definition and conception of citizenship, examining issues and citing examples on the scale of the citizen, civitas, region, nation, globe, network and cosmos. The pavilion was commissioned on behalf of the US Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago.  MEXUS: A Geography of Interdependence by Estudio Teddy Cruz + Fonna Forman at the 2018 U.S. Pavilion. Courtesy of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago.. Image © Tom Harris Approaches to these various scales of citizenship include Studio Gang's approach to the "civitas" scale entitled Stone Stories, which incorporates cobblestones from the historic port of Memphis Landing to present the riverfront site as a place of historical civic memory. Another contribution comprises a visual exploration of the political border between Mexico and the United States by Estudio Teddy Cruz + Fonna Forman that uses watersheds, indigenous lands, ecological corridors, and migratory patterns to argue that the border represents an area of commonality and cooperative opportunity rather than political division. Other contributing teams include Amanda Williams + Andres L. Hernandez, in collaboration with Shani Crowe, SCAPE, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Laura Kurgan, Robert Gerard Pietrusko with Columbia Center for Spatial Research, Keller Easterling with MANY and Design Earth.

 Courtesy of ANDREAS SCHÜRING ARCHITECTS Text description provided by the architects. A tendency of the today's art creation is to work again in large formats and space consuming. Two new large studios in the historic monuments of the trooper barracks of the 19th century on the Campus of Culture in Münster/ Germany were created for this need.  Courtesy of ANDREAS SCHÜRING ARCHITECTS  Axonometry  Courtesy of ANDREAS SCHÜRING ARCHITECTS To enable these two large volumes of space, the simple roof trusses of the towers were deconstructed and built over the new ateliers cantilever prefabricated wood rib elements. The wooden structure is visible from the inside and, together with the lower wooden bowl, with the integrated hypocaust heating, ensures a pleasant room atmosphere. This place can be freely played by the artists.  Courtesy of ANDREAS SCHÜRING ARCHITECTS The special quality of the daylight for the artists is achieved by a frameless glazing in the eaves. The wooden structure is dissolved in this area as a timber truss and makes the ow of forces recognizable. .jpg?1528424127 "© Floris Groteclaes") © Floris Groteclaes The roof shape of the historic hipped roofs, which is characteristic of the entire ensemble, is retained and reinforced in its effect. Thus, a new functional architecture is possible but also a special contribution to the protection of historical monuments is created. All-round ventilation wings are formally integrated into the cornice without disturbing the historical appearance. They provide a low- tech ventilation of the studio rooms.  Courtesy of ANDREAS SCHÜRING ARCHITECTS A gallery level can be used either for lectures of the artist classes or as an overview platform, as a place of curiosity, for exhibitions. An extendable white screen immerses the room in a di used light and is particularly important for the sculptor classes due to the alternating light mood.

 © Christian van der Kooy Text description provided by the architects. The first house designed by Namelok is inspired by liberal theories of mid-century architects like Lina Bo Bardi and Aldo van Eyck. The design of House 1 serves as a perfect base for a young and modern family where three design principles are at the base: the kitchen as the beating heart, openness through horizontal and vertical connections and visible constructions versus tangible textures.  © Christian van der Kooy The house is situated at a new building site at the edge of Rotterdam, where it overlooks a typical Dutch polder landscape and where the skyline of the city centre is visible at the horizon. The landscape and beautiful view can be seen from the spacious and naturally exposed kitchen which extends all the way up to the roof, through the wide vide. However, the living room is completely different: a dim lighted room for more quiet and intimate moments with the family. The chimney separates the rooms, functions as a natural backbone throughout the house and also connects the garden area to the living area with its in- and outside fireplace.  © Christian van der Kooy These important features all revolve around the concept of maximizing human potential, which both Lina Bo Bardi and Aldo van Eyck used in their architectural concepts. The separation of the living areas with functional and natural features creates a different purpose for all rooms in the house. "We tried to create the home in such a way that all of the rooms have a different atmosphere for varying tendencies. It takes the concept of the two famous architects to adhere a different character to every space in the house as to make the family feel at home during any part of the day."  © Christian van der Kooy The materials used go together to form a minimalistic yet warm feeling for the design. The coarse plaster and frost grey bricks have a minimalistic design but add tangible textures to the inside and outside of the house and chimney. The vertical western red cedar slats add warmth, yet also define and unite the different parts of the house because of the difference in colour and texture.  Ground Floor  © Christian van der Kooy  1st Floor  © Christian van der Kooy The architectural label Namelok takes a lot of inspiration from fashion and therefore divides their projects in collections. House 1 was part of the AW17 collection 'Playtime' which is a tribute to Lina Bo Bardi and her radical and playful designs at the concept's base. Every collection offers a new vision for coming projects.  © Christian van der Kooy  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

It is located in Hangzhou, China.  © Kano Eiichi  Plan  © Kano Eiichi Hangzhou is one of the famous production areas of Long-jing tea. Those steep tea hills can be seen on the edge of the West Lake. In those tea hills, many pieces of terraces farming are scattered around the hills. Inspired by terrace fields, we though we can bring these great landscapes into this design program tea house.  © Kano Eiichi The designed furniture for teahouse like display case which has local landscape feature. The materials we used includes the Cinderella color marble which is Italy made, combined with corrugated and misty glass pane to make separate cabinet, then group theirs with different height level into display cases.  © Kano Eiichi The diameter of the round table is designed into 6.2m. And table's surface was made up by overlaying pieces of artificial marble, which presents gradual fluctuation of terrace farmings. then injected water into the groove in surface of the table. With the different height level of the groove in the table, the color of water is different. The project located in the commercial and populated city, so we are trying to use this distance design in order to let people enjoin enough space.  © Kano Eiichi  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Limerick House / Solomon Troup Architects Posted: 10 Jun 2018 01:00 PM PDT  © Tatjana Plitt
 © Tatjana Plitt Text description provided by the architects. Limerick House is a modest addition to an existing dwelling on a rural Victorian property. The new addition orientates the home towards the expansive country hillside views, providing a connection to its surrounds not evident in the existing dwelling.  © Tatjana Plitt
 © Tatjana Plitt The form of the addition was inspired by the dilapidated timber shearing sheds that inhabit the local area. These lean-to structures inspired the design of Limerick House, both in form and material.  © Tatjana Plitt The exterior of the addition is clad entirely in spotted gum decking boards, stained black to enhance the resemblance the materiality of the dilapidated shearing sheds. The aging of the timber as it silvers off will further enhance this resemblance.  © Tatjana Plitt Silvertop ash lining boards were used extensively internally to contrast the dark, timber clad exterior, and to encourage the traditional notion of a warm winter weekend cabin.  © Tatjana Plitt The gabled form of the addition responds to the existing pitched roofs of the existing house. The new addition has the same dimensions and shape as the existing three railway cottages used to build the existing house, but is sloped on the eastern boundary to create a doorway, used to link the house to another existing house on the property.  © Tatjana Plitt  Plan  © Tatjana Plitt Set on a large plot of rural land, the existing house was insular and failed to respond to the expansive views of the surrounding landscape.  © Tatjana Plitt The new addition sought to exploit these opportunities by increasing the dwellings connection with its surrounds. Two large steel doors serve in winter to frame the view of the undulating country hillside, whilst in summer they can be opened to allow the internal spaces to become an extension of the outdoor area.  © Tatjana Plitt  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Fjordenhus / Studio Olafur Eliasson + Sebastian Behmann Posted: 10 Jun 2018 11:00 AM PDT  © Anders Sune Berg
 © Anders Sune Berg Setting Vejle Fjord in Jutland stretches east from its head at the city of Vejle to its mouth at the Kattegat Sea. Fjordenhus stands in the water alongside Havneøen (The Harbour Island), a man-made is- land that was developed in response to a concept by Vejle Municipality to revitalise the harbour area, introducing important new residential components into a traditionally industrial environment. For those approaching from Vejle's main urban axis, the building appears as the focal point, surrounded by water and with the Vejle Fjord Bridge in the background. The concrete and cobble- stone surfaces of the expansive plaza in front of the building are echoed in the design of Günther Vogt's jetty, while the cylindrical forms and distinctive brickwork of Fjordenhus nod to the historical harbour typologies of warehouses and silos. Set against the backdrop of the fjord, the building itself breaks the smooth plane of the water.  © Anders Sune Berg Building Accessible by footbridge, the twenty-eight-metre-high building is formed by four intersecting cylinders with brick facades from which ellipsoidal negative spaces were removed to create complex curved forms and arched windows. The varying floor plans of the different levels are organized around circles and ellipses, with specially designed furniture and lights, and are connected by spiral staircases and round vestibules. The double-height ground floor, which is open to the public, is permeated by the fjord and contains two aqueous zones with site-specific artworks by Olafur Eliasson. The KIRK KAPITAL offices occupy the upper three floors. Perched atop the building is a green roof with vegetation and solar panels. By night, Fjordenhus is lit from within, resembling a lighthouse.  © David de Larrea Remiro Bricks Classic Danish brick is the predominant material of the building's inner and outer walls. The brick forms the smallest possible building unit and follows the organic shape of the building. Fjorden- hus's intricate brickwork shapes visitors' impression of the building as they approach. From afar, the building's surface seems orderly, but upon closer inspection, the different shapes and slightly irregular staggering of the bricks' depth reveals a lively, organic surface. The brickwork incorporates fifteen different tones of unglazed brick; additional colours of glazed bricks are integrated into the carved-out sections to produce colour fades – green from the bottom and blue from the top – that reflect the water and sky. In the stairwell, scattered silver bricks reflect the sunlight shining in from above. The bricks function not only aesthetically, but also technically: hollow ventilation bricks are placed throughout the walls to modulate both sound and temperature. Every corner, niche, and arc required an individual brick-laying solution; each brick was specially t into the complex curvature of the concrete walls, the overall brickwork lying flush with the curved steel frames and glass elements of the facade.  © Anders Sune Berg Floors & Ceilings The floors and ceilings of Fjordenhus are formed by white concrete slabs, creating spaces 3.2 metres in height on each level. They conceal the distribution of technical infrastructure such as the heating and cooling systems. The grid pattern of cut-out negative circular volumes in the ceiling reduces the overall weight of the ceiling. These hollows also serve to hold light fixtures and modulate the acoustics of the space. Pietra Piasentina stone was used to cover all the floors. Unlike classic granite stones, Pietra Piasentina can only be found in boulders quarried from the hills of Friuli, Italy.  © Anders Sune Berg Windows & Doors The double-curved, 3D-formed windows precisely follow the geometry of Fjordenhus. Steel frames span several floors of the building, while the window voids form the main element of the facade. In some areas, rotating doors were introduced to accommodate the geometrical challenges of the building's overall shape. All of the doors and windows are tilted; by design, the walls contain no right angles.  © Anders Sune Berg Carpets The kilim carpets, each with a diameter of 9.4 metres and placed in the centres of the drums, were handwoven in Varanasi, India. Looms were custom-built so the carpets could be woven seamlessly, and each carpet comes in a different monochrome colour. The smaller, elliptical entrance rooms linking the stairwells to the main office spaces are fitted with hand-tufted carpets. All the carpets have been deliberately designed to be sound absorbant.  © Anders Sune Berg Furniture The office spaces on the building's first, second, and third floors feature several custom-made furniture pieces designed by Olafur Eliasson and Studio Olafur Eliasson. Wood was introduced as the dominant material for the additional built-in cabinets, bathrooms, kitchens, and staircases in the private spaces.  © Anders Sune Berg  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| This Cave-Like Luxury Apartment is Planned for Australia's Gold Coast Posted: 10 Jun 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of Contreras Earl Architecture Contreras Earl Architecture, in collaboration with the Sunland Group, designed a 44-story residential tower in Queensland, Australia. The "Hedges Pedestal," a two-story base and communal areas for residents, was conceived by Contreras Earl Architecture and draws inspiration from the coastal location of the site, its curving exterior façade which includes a sculptural anodized aluminium, resembles the curves of wind erosion on the sand.  Courtesy of Contreras Earl Architecture The residential tower's location will play an important role in the urban landscape of the Gold Coast, marking a transition from the low-rise residential area of Mermaid Beach to the high-rises of Broadbeach. The "Pedestal" at ground level brings a human scale to the project, its low-slung, cave-like entrance appealing to the scale of the pedestrian.  Courtesy of Contreras Earl Architecture The interior of the Pedestal resembles the inside of a rock-cave, its arches seemingly brushed into place by natural forces. The travertine material continues seamlessly from the exterior to the interior, creating a smooth transition into the space. The amenity level above mirrors the curves of the cave-like form below, but with a more rationalized geometry to transition into the spaces above, which have been designed by the developer, Sunland Group. The first-floor pool for the residents again creates a cavern condition that mirrors an experience in nature, while full-length windows offer a stunning view of the landscape outside.

| Kéré Architecture Designs Sceneography for Exhibition on Racism Posted: 10 Jun 2018 07:00 AM PDT  © Andrea Maretto Kéré Architecture has recently completed the scenography for "Racism. The Invention of Human Races," an exhibition at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden. The atmospheres within each of the three spaces are unique yet harmonious, aiming to connect "the rooms' architecture with the rooms' theme." Using a variety of high-quality materials and engaging structures, the journey hopes to show a conflict between people's desires for stability and the organic need for social transformation, emphasizing the charm of the temporary and importance of conversation.  © Andrea Maretto
The first room "sprawls over the visitor" with a modular wooden grid, spanning across the entire space. Due to the installation's gridded nature, the room's spatial order becomes reminiscent of the strict classification of European Modernist science, while the deliberately dimmed lighting enhances the individual character of the wood itself. This uniqueness of surface is symbolic of the artwork within the room, in particular, the series of colorless, sculpted heads, all from different cultures, that sit idle within the skeletal structure.  © Andrea Maretto  © Andrea Maretto The second room creates a platform to exhibit and analyze the artwork that was defamed or confiscated by the Nazi Party as part of their extensive propaganda movement during the 1930s and 40s. "An artistic gesture that mimics the effect of the pure concrete," Kéré Architects apply a cold, confrontational surface treatment to the several walls that define the space, and in doing so create an "austere and monumental atmosphere." Highlighting the silenced art within the context of the bare, exposed room, the user is allowed to focus and reflect upon the historic significance of the content.  © Andrea Maretto  © Andrea Maretto The final room directs the emphasis toward conversation, inviting people to exchange the important, arising questions of society. Integrated seating elements, a large canopy and ample central space encourage people to gather, the room being directly influenced by Kéré's West African homeland, where "all social gatherings happen under the large crowns of the trees". The structure takes inspiration from Shigeru Ban in the extensive use of cardboard tubes. This uncommon material becomes a metaphor for society's impermanent nature, emphasizing how fragile a community can be. Towering towards the ceiling, the architect hopes the tubes echo "the essential values that hold a society together."

 © Lizbeth Aviles Text description provided by the architects. This single-family residence is located on top of a hill in a residential area in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. The 989 square meter plot was previously occupied by a house that suffered severe structural damage making it impossible to rescue; however, some of the construction materials were salvaged and donated for reuse and recycling. The architectural arrangement was conceived taking two needs in consideration; first, to create a footprint able to accommodate a south facing garden and a central patio, and second to provide a fully functional ground level to accommodate user's needs as they age.  © Lizbeth Aviles  Ground Floor Plan  © Lizbeth Aviles The plot topography also played an important role in the layout distribution, as the downward slope naturally suggested to place the public zone and master bedroom at street level for an easier access, and private areas below surface level; achieving with this arrangement a subtler yet interesting main façade.  Section A The building's exterior materials were chosen so that the house would age properly while at the same time aiming at a higher energy and maintenance efficiency. The material selection primarily consists of exposed concrete and a double wall of insulated red brick. Double glazed windows with thermal break and insulated metal roof also contribute to the thermal comfort of the house. With an environmentally responsible approach, systems were included to provide for gray water treatment process to sustain the landscape, and solar panels to partially supply the energy needs of the family.  © Lizbeth Aviles The architectural program is distributed in two levels, the street level mostly occupied by public areas on the front, with the master bedroom on the back and lower level as the private areas. The main access consists on a transitional space including a small patio with a fountain and an indoor lobby; this passage giving access to an open area that includes living, dining rooms, and kitchen, all these with direct communication to the central patio.  Upper Floor Plan A sliding glass wall provides a direct connection between the indoor areas and the central patio, BBQ area and outside chimney, allowing for this whole space to become a unified indoor-outdoor area, with independent access to a visitor's restroom. As a transitional space between the public and private areas, a cozy and functional family room flooded with natural daylight is located on the back of the ground level, with an independent access to the central patio.  © Lizbeth Aviles The Master bedroom located on the ground level enjoys a southern garden view and includes a private bathroom with a spacious walking closet and balcony. Wide and comfortable stairs give access to the lower level, consisting of two bedrooms, a home office/man cave/optional fourth bedroom, a small wine cave, and storage space. Each of these rooms with independent access to the garden.  © Lizbeth Aviles  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Bee Breeders Announce Winners of the Iceland Northern Lights Rooms Competition Posted: 10 Jun 2018 01:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of Bee Breeders, In-Visible Bee Breeders have announced the winners of the Iceland Northern Lights Rooms competition, where entrants were tasked with designing a series of guest houses that framed the beauty of the surrounding context. In response to the delicate landscape, Mývatn Lake in Iceland, the brief outlined a number of restrictions. These included no permanent construction within 200m from the lake, and that all guest houses were to be movable. Shared themes throughout all the successful proposals were specific material experimentation, "distinct interaction with the site and sky," scalable design, irand cost-conscious solutions. First Place: In-Visible The first placed design 'In-Visible' creates "a series of mirror-clad guest houses of varying sizes, movable and distributed about the site". The main building is covered in peat, a traditional Icelandic construction technique, merging seamlessly into the landscape. Beautifully illustrated, the submission highlights the "design's care to minimize site disturbance," while its buildability, innovation, and how it was "well-suited to its location" all impressed the jury.  Courtesy of Bee Breeders, In-Visible Second Place: Bleikur 'Bleikur' uses Icelandic corrugated metal cladding in a set of convincing drawings. The submission "adapts this regional cladding type and proposes a series of sail-shaped buildings made of metal and plywood". Reacting to the weather patterns and color of the sky, the cladding sits comfortably within the context, and the curved forms emphasize the lateral and vertical views of the landscape.  Courtesy of Bee Breeders, Bleikur Third Place: Northern Lights Receiving third place, 'Northern Lights' "contain(s) an optimized central nucleus where the facilities and private spaces are enclosed, allowing the circulation spaces to open towards the landscape". The unique lightweight proposal utilized the several advantages of ETFE, the same material used within the Eden Project, to create an extremely sensitive and responsible scheme.  Courtesy of Bee Breeders, Northern Lights Student Prize: Marimo The student winner is influenced by the Marimo - a unique plant that floats toward the surface of the lake in order to capture sunlight. Treating the houses similarly to a hot air balloon, the speculative proposal surrounds the guest house in an inflatable structure and has no solid foundations, mimicking the movements of the local plant.  Courtesy of Bee Breeders, Marimo BB Green Award: Of Crater and Hearth  Courtesy of Bee Breeders, Of crater and hearth Winner of the BB Green Award, 'Of Crater and Hearth' is set within the landscape to create minimal disruption within the context. The scheme being "conceived from the synthesis between pseudocraters and the traditional Viking longhouse".
