| 3 Pavilions Along the Seine River / h2o architectes Posted: 01 Sep 2018 10:00 PM PDT  © Julien Attard
 © Julien Attard Text description provided by the architects. The pavilions are located near the western entrance of the Lagravère Park in Colombes.  © Julien Attard  Axonometric bathrooms  © Julien Attard This longitudinal park follows the Seine river, which becomes the focal point of the route over 2 kilometers. The buildings are cleverly inserted, woven into the orthogonal grid formed by the landscape, engaging in a precise game of inflexion and dialogue with the trees. The three constructions are spread out along the promenade according to their function. The first pavilion, situated closest to the entrance and the future tramway stop welcomes visitors; further along, the shop emerges from the trees onto the riverside path and the lastly, the public toilets stand back, located deeper in the park, behind the trees.  © Julien Attard  © Julien Attard The three buildings express directionality: their open gables act like windows onto the landscape. Their elongated yet discrete shape, prolonged by terraces or porches, allows for the three volumes to establish visual connections, in a dynamic game of tension. The curvilinear form, reinforced by the folds of the timber and stainless-steel envelope defines a shared external space. The integration of the pavilions in the landscape oscillates between mimesis and reflection of the panorama.  © Julien Attard  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Peter Dajka Text description provided by the architects. In Szentendre, in the 60s and 70s, an industrial zone was built between the town's main road and the Danube. In this area, the change of regime in the early 90s has left a deep mark. Except for the concrete factory and the paper mill, not any industrial factory could even get through this period. Large industrial areas fell to smaller or larger pieces, some of them were neglected. The aim of the investment in the industrial park owned by ÉMI is to develop infrastructure and service, the initial step of which is to create an attractive environment with a new building that will attract other innovation companies to the area.  © Béla Szab  © Peter Dajka The intention of the investor is to attract companies in the field of modern energy-saving architectural and mechanical systems innovation. For this purpose, the building contains energy-efficientarchitectural and MEP solutions as the main "showcase". The designers sought to minimize the energy use of buildings based on the German passive house standards. The new office building is partly an incubator house. It aims to create a supportive environment that will reduce the risk of business start-ups, and help their development primarily in the initial, critical phase of their life cycle. This incubator house can provide the greatest added value in an industrial park environment, or later in the field of higher education.  © Béla Szab In designing the building mass, beyondfollowing amorphous plot it was important to create a kind of harmony with the mass of the renovated industrial hall on the other side of the road. The "sinuous" mass shaping wraps the building up, creating spaces that intensify intimacy and identification, mark the entrances. The planned new building is divided into 3 staircase cores. The entrance halls are connected to the staircase cores, simply organized and well-transparent. The spatial location of the cores is similar, thus creating a variety of office spaces in the floor space of the offices, which enhances the versatility and leaseability. Each office unit can be divided into a open office and cellular space, so they can fully adapt to the most diverse tenant needs.  Ground floor Due to mass formatting, two office entrances are approached from a three-sided, large, water-filled inner courtyard. The favorable microclimate resulting from the application of water surface, shaded by an architecturally accentuated and spectacular stretch of tarpaulin structure. There are basically two different types of materials on the fassades. The basic idea was that the roof of the building is supported by walls cladded by white fibrecement sheets. This material appears on the edge of the roof around the building also. At the entrances, the walls are broken with arcades. The white walls and the roof edge are framing metal and glass surfaces, creating a 21st century building in appearance.  © Béla Szab  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Ketsiree Wongwan Text description provided by the architects. In the era where the environmental concern is one of the major issues that dominate the mind of the society, a debate began to rise in a creative industry; whether designers can offer a new outlook to such a significant global issue?  © Ketsiree Wongwan  Plan  © Ketsiree Wongwan The six-meter-high pavilion comprises of, specifically designed, recycled plastic bricks and light nylon screens. Each architectural components are being thought in terms of products design: the scale and proportion of each element derived from the products they are intended as after the event. The structure devises a modular construction technique where the elements are arranged into a repetitive pattern, creating rhythms within the structure.  © Ketsiree Wongwan  Mesh Panel Detail  © Ketsiree Wongwan Following the design week, the bricks and screens will be dismantled into over 2500 chairs and 1500 tote bags. Although intended for a short-term existence, the pavilion goes beyond its function of a temporal architecture. The structure will celebrate the creative, innovative and social value of design. It will stand as an example of a pavilion that can stimulate conversations, innovate ideas, and simply inspire.  © Ketsiree Wongwan  © Ketsiree Wongwan  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Toby Ponnay PROGRAM  © Toby Ponnay DESIGN SOLUTION  © Toby Ponnay A reading of the architecture is revealed through a sequence of movements beginning at the street along the upper portion of the site. A wooden bridge spanning a reflecting pond provides a gesture of invitation leading to a walled, entry courtyard. This courtyard is contained within deep walls of silver travertine and wood screens, which allow filtered western sunlight to enter into the space while also providing privacy. A new, adjacent, two- storey entry volume contains an amorphic, flower- like spiral staircase, the connective tissue between the existing structure and the new entertainment pavilion above.  © Toby Ponnay The lower level of the home retains the spatial configuration of the existing structure, essentially the classic "L" shaped, mid-century modern plan around a swimming pool and terrace. The east-west wing of the plan contains the communal area and the north –south wing the private sleeping spaces. The original swimming pool was enlarged and a new series of exterior spaces were created in this central courtyard area. The existing structure was stripped to the studs with many interior walls removed to create spatial continuity both inside and out. The principle interior materials of walnut, terrazzo and silver travertine recall the character of the original residence. The upper level addition contains an entertainment room and two guest suites. A 50-foot long, full height onyx wall inserted into the steel skeletal frame, providing both privacy and mitigation of the often intense southern sun, defines this space.  © Toby Ponnay Photovoltaic panels, radiant floor heating, green living roofs and passive cooling systems including a water curtain the edge of the reflecting pond in the entry courtyard, integrate sustainable technologies and green strategies into the remodel and addition.  © Toby Ponnay This project demonstrates that it is possible to fulfill the rigorous requirements of the client while engaging in a spirited and robust dialogue with the site, the original structure and the new addition.  © Toby Ponnay  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

A four floor building made by three rectangular units of 9 m x 25 m, which have the technical program of the career and they are connected by a transverse hall made of crystal with a balcony design in the circulations and the common area of the building over Curcuma’s Building of PUCV; also allowing a greater incorporation of natural light to the spaces for increasing the habitability comfort and energy saving. These three units are supported on a plinth floor that makes a big interior roofed yard for the students and at the same time, on the upper floor they offer terraces  Section A The first floor of this building is mainly destined for the common use of the students of Curauma Campus, placing two classrooms, one active learning room, two multipurpose laboratories, a big roofed yard and services for the students.  © Marcelo Cáceres  © Marcelo Cáceres On the third floor, there are a teacher area, clinical laboratories, a terrace and services for the students. On the fourth floor, there are teacher offices, the Administration, research laboratories, reserved areas for future research laboratories among other services. Besides, in this building it has been considered the use of colors in a greater amount and design to improve the habitability and perceptive comfort of the daily spaces of the building.  © Marcelo Cáceres  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| U.S. Mayors Join Coalition for New Buildings to be Net-Zero by 2030 Posted: 01 Sep 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Cornell Tech Campus. Image © Iwan Baan A coalition of 19 U.S. mayors have joined together with C40, a group dedicated to climate action. The coalition has proposed a plan to ensure that all new buildings be net-zero by 2030. The cities are joining forces with the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) to achieve their emissions goals. All cities in C40 have signed the pledge to ensure new buildings will be required to produce as much energy as they consume by 2030. The initiative is part of a larger plan to make all buildings net-zero by 2050.  Cornell Tech Campus. Image © Iwan Baan  Cornell Tech Campus. Image © Iwan Baan Buildings generate over half of the total greenhouse gas emissions for most cities. The C40 mayors are committed to lowering these emissions, with U.S. cities like Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, and San Francisco taking a stand. In the United States, net-zero construction has been on the rise for a number of years. Net-zero buildings utilize exclusively renewable energy sources, and are comprised of extremely efficient systems. The ambitious environmental strategies will be brought up again in the next meeting of mayors during the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco. The news comes at a time when the World Green Building Council has called on companies across the world to make their buildings net zero carbon. The Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment challenges businesses and organisations to take advanced climate action by setting ambitious targets to eliminate operational carbon emissions from their building portfolios.

| House CM / Además arquitectura Posted: 01 Sep 2018 06:00 AM PDT  © Gonzalo Viramonte
 © Gonzalo Viramonte Text description provided by the architects. This house, located in a 1400 sqm plot inside a golf and country club, is to be inhabited by a family of four. Due to its location, strong constraints about shape, materials, and pitched roofs narrowed the project possibilities from scratch. Starting with this constraints the design process consisted in studying the archetypical shape of a house and its different possibilities.  © Gonzalo Viramonte The initial request for a traditional hip-roofed volume turned into two separated ones where the “roof” and the “walls” merge into the same element. The overall concept of the house attempts to discuss pre-established statements, not only regarding its elements such as “floor”-“wall”-“roof” but also about traditional programmatic configurations. Rethinking the position of the “quincho”, typically detached from the house, as well as the connection between the public and private areas.  © Gonzalo Viramonte These different programmatic spaces are combined and split suggesting non-traditional layouts are also possible. This idea of fragmentation increases the connection between inner and outer spaces throughout the house. By opening the volume a void is created, the inner patio, which acts as the first instance of the promenade brings the surrounding landscape into the house. Once inside, a big, homogenous space contains the kitchen, the dining and the living space all in one. The high and pitched ceiling makes reference to the outer form.  © Gonzalo Viramonte  Ground Floor Plan  © Gonzalo Viramonte A glass corridor that drives through the access patio is the nexus between the “quincho”, the laundry and the gym spaces. The staircase, stroked by a cenital light leads to the private areas: on one hand the main bedroom, which overlooks to the golf court and on the other, two bedrooms that dialogue with the street and the inner patio. Both volumes that remind the archetypical form, are cladded with just one material, travertine, enclosing a solid and simple way of living.  © Gonzalo Viramonte  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Andres Gallardo Captures Copenhagen's Surreal and Colorful Geometric Forms Posted: 01 Sep 2018 05:00 AM PDT  © Andres Gallardo Andres Gallardo's ongoing Urban Geometry series captures unique forms, colors, and shadows of modern architecture of various cities. The project is a personal one for Gallardo, as it has been a long-term photo series that has accompanied him throughout his journey in becoming a professional photographer, displaying his development and evolution as he captures the architectural beauty of cities such as Beijing, Helsinki, Seoul, and Copenhagen. Below is the Copenhagen chapter of the series, a visual poem that allows us to see the city in new ways. Through flowing line and bright bursts of color, Gallardo displays an almost surreal version of the city, where the jagged forms and smooth curves of its modern architecture have replaced human presence.  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  © Andres Gallardo  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Rafaela Netto Text description provided by the architects. The Aruá building was designed considering 4 different blocks joined by a common vertical circulation. The work is similar to a jigsaw puzzle made up of four buildings with different blueprints and heights, merged into one. The combination of these volumes forms an ascending spiral, as each block has a floor that is higher than the previous one. This movement inspired the building’s name, meaning snail shell in Tupi. _sel.jpg?1535455774 "© Rafaela Netto") © Rafaela Netto  Ground Floor Plan _sel.jpg?1535455747 "© Rafaela Netto") © Rafaela Netto The strategy of each volume with a different template enabled a series of penthouses with verandas and gardens at the same level, like the yard of a house, different from the usual access to the open area exclusively through a second floor. Each block received a different finish, to accentuate the difference in the blueprint and occupation of each of the volumes that comprise the building. _sel_-_destaque.jpg?1535455603 "© Rafaela Netto") © Rafaela Netto  Diagram .jpg?1535455785 "© Rafaela Netto") © Rafaela Netto The building includes many references to good Brazilian modern architecture. The entrance hall is entirely open underexposed concrete columns; the landscape designs are quite tropical; there is a large art panel made of cement tiles by artist João Nitsche; the openings in the apartments have sliding shutters, and the building is accessed through an exposed concrete entrance that marks the transition between public and private, and also serves as a sidewalk bench. .jpg?1535455904 "© Rafaela Netto") © Rafaela Netto The final architectural volume of the project concerned the architects from the beginning, as the legislation pertaining to the ratio between land area, constructed area, occupation need, and template forced a result somewhat robust and compact. To that end, the use of volume variation also allowed for a plastic approach to the implementation of these volumes, reinforced in the meticulous façades and entrance, especially in the smaller volume, entirely lined with synthetic decks. The plastic result of the set seeks to minimize the impact of the new construction, establishing a dialogue with the urban morphology of the streets, making this a friendlier building to pedestrians and the urban fabric. _sel.jpg?1535455656 "© Rafaela Netto") © Rafaela Netto  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Barilla Visitor Centre Merges with Surrounding Wheat Fields in Pedrignano, Italy Posted: 01 Sep 2018 01:00 AM PDT  Render by Aron Lorincz. Image Courtesy of Studio VAARO Studio VAARO, in collaboration with Gabriel Fain Architects, have designed a visitor center pavilion for Barilla in Pedrignano, Italy which responds to its industrial and agricultural context with an iconic gesture. With space for events, a café, restaurant and shop, the diverse programs are united under one sweeping roof. The roof merges with the surrounding wheat fields, creating the impression of a natural mound emerging from the earth when approaching from the South. From the road, the earth excavated from the foundations have been compacted to create a rammed-earth façade, its mineral stratification evoking the archaic and the natural.  Diagram The architects describe the roof as "subtly [morphing] between two elemental and symbolic geometries – that of the House to the East and that of the rectangular Factory to the West. In so doing, our Barilla pavilion combines the domestic familiarity of the home and the utility of the factory."  Level 1 Plan The pavilion consists of two parallel programs, with the primary, larger one containing the main public spaces and the smaller one used for support functions and flexible-use spaces. The secondary section needs little to no natural light, and so it is fully buried underneath the landscape. This allows the main space to be opened up and receive maximum amounts of sunlight, as well as being free of any back-of-house functions, creating a light-filled, flexible space.  Render by Nephew. Image Courtesy of Studio VAARO The architects have designed the pavilion with a holistic view of sustainability. Using renewable building materials such as wood, straw, and the site's own soil, they have created a proposal that not only responds to the surrounding landscape, but also cleverly utilities the materials at hand. The thick façade and earth berms create enough thermal mass to help with most of the heating and cooling needs, while the interior of the pavilion is composed of sustainable and locally-sourced wood. The architects have also considered the long-term potential of the building, designing it to be versatile in its future use.  Render by Aron Lorincz.

| Exploring Architecture Through Vertical Dance Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:00 PM PDT .jpg?1532465132 "via BANDALOOP") via BANDALOOP What do dance and architecture have in common? It's difficult to explain how our experiences of dance are stored in our bodily memory, but central to our recollection of a performance is the architectural space that it inhabited. Although dance may have been the central focus, the site is integral to its experience. Both disciplines are fundamental when exploring the ways we navigate and create cities and urban spaces. It's no surprise that many choreographers explore both disciplines: dance and architecture. These pieces question how our bodies navigate through built environments. However, it is important to note that this experimentation is not merely contemplative but speaks to the way specific groups of peoples and cultures operate in their surroundings. In the words of the philosopher Marina Garcés: "The body is no longer what is and binds us to a place, but it is the condition for every place. It is the zero point of all the spatialities that we can experience, and at the same time, all the links that constitute us, materially and psychically." Aerial dance is a relatively new modality that explores how and why we traverse the world. BANDALOOP is a collective that pays homage to nature, the community, and the human spirit through dance. Its exercises weave corporality and architecture through intricate choreography and climbing techniques that flip the dance floor on its side. Founded by Amelia Rudolph, BANDALOOP reimagines dance, activates public spaces, and inspires amazement and imagination to audiences around the world. The company trains dancers and young residents and has performed for millions of people in more than 22 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, and Asia, as well as films and digital media. Unquestionably, BANDALOOP is a collective that breaks the boundaries of dance and architecture. Viewing their work as an architect or dancer can help us open our mind and view each discipline from a different perspective.

| Boat Hangar / BETA office for architecture and the city Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:00 PM PDT .jpg?1532007124 "© MWA Hart Nibbrig") © MWA Hart Nibbrig
 © MWA Hart Nibbrig Text description provided by the architects. Boat Hangar is a contemporary utilitarian building, both subtly referencing and sharply contrasting the rich context of the historic NDSM shipyard. BETA was charged with designing a utilitarian structure on one of the few remaining plots on the NDSM heritage site. It is used for storage, seasonal maintenance and the construction of new yachts. In addition, the building offers office space and is occasionally in use for location theatre and other cultural events at the NDSM shipyard.  Floor Plan The challenge was to find a suitable architectural language which would do justice to brief and context whilst fitting in a competitive budget. Inspired by the adjacent NDSM shipbuilding warehouse, a similar structural logic was applied. The primary structure consists of a crane gantry, upon and around which a secondary lightweight structure is placed, defining the span of the building.  © Moon Saris The rigorous implementation of industrial materials creates a composition of lines and planes with a variation in scale, rhythm, and color. The building is enclosed with different corrugated metal cladding; with their varying amplitude, these offer an array of shadows and reflections on the building's expansive surfaces. Two perforations – one circular, the other rectangular – offer reflections of the vicinity and reveal an internal world. .jpg.jpg?1532007189 "© MWA Hart Nibbrig") © MWA Hart Nibbrig  Exploeded Axonometry .jpg?1532008306 "Courtesy of BETA") Courtesy of BETA The seasonal nature of the building's use means that internal logistics are to be reckoned with. Drawing upon the hangar archetype, three full-height sliding doors allow the full width of the structure to be opened towards quay and canal. This offers added flexibility in staging events and solving the logistical puzzle throughout the seasons. .jpg?1532007075 "© MWA Hart Nibbrig") © MWA Hart Nibbrig  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
