 © Kinga Tomos Text description provided by the architects. The main axis of the center of Bucharest, stretching from North to the South of the city, between the two World Wars underwent its most important architectural development. The existing 19th century urban tissue, with its boulevards, parks, impressive palaces and villas, all very much alike the European high class neighborhoods, was redefined, extended and brought into the 20th century with exceptional modernist housing buildings of all scales and sizes, from family villas to large apartment buildings. Many of the architectural landmarks of 21st century city are from this era and they still strongly influence the architecture of the contemporary collective housing scene. However, compared to the new buildings, the original 1930's buildings still seem to be more sophisticated, mainly probably due to their patina, charm and uniqueness. One such building houses an apartment that was in need of a renovation project.  Floor plan In the past 80 years the apartment has kept its initial shape with all its original finishing and woodwork. However the contemporary functional requirements has changed and the everyday needs of the new owners - an architecture and design enthusiast young couple - are very different from the functional scheme of the original project, the core element of the new intervention was to keep and renovate as much as possible of the original components and to reorganize functionally the apartment, in spite of the impossibility to change the layout of the walls, due to structural reasons, and without loosing its intrinsic values.  © Kinga Tomos  Kitchen isometric  © Kinga Tomos The original layout of the apartment was composed of two different areas: the main representative living and nighttime functions, composed of the main entrance, living room, dining room and master bedroom with bathroom, and the secondary functional area of the kitchen and maid's room, with its own entrance and bathroom, an area that typically was much smaller. The new functional layout erases the functional differentiation between the segregated parts and integrates in one single scheme all spaces, by including in the main living area the kitchen, an important component of our contemporary way of living and social interaction. The former service quarter of the apartment was transformed into a small home office, convenient for the everyday use and discreetly separated from the rest of the apartment.  © Kinga Tomos The main functional and aesthetic feature of the project consists in the fluidity of the daytime spaces, linked in a sequence of alternating places designed for different levels and ways of interaction within and of the couple.  © Kinga Tomos  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| German Embassy in Muscat / Hoehler + alSalmy Posted: 24 Nov 2018 06:00 PM PST  © Gijo Paul George
 © Gijo Paul George Text description provided by the architects. Located in the Diplomatic quarter of Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman, the new German Embassy premises is set to be a promising landmark and a one of a kind structure in the embassy district. The building ensemble includes the Chancellery building as well as the ambassador's Residence, with external reception areas encompassing the traditional plantation of the Sultanate.  © Gijo Paul George The Embassy is carefully lifted up from the carpet of the Omani ground, visually only touching down at the access areas, otherwise floating over a hardscape made up of local materials. The Soft landscaping of the premises takes a reference to the green Omani "Wadi", which are Oasis-like valleys. On the plot, these wadis are an integral part of the dewatering system and assure that the plot is never flooded – even in times of extremely heavy rain during the rainy season in an otherwise extremely hot and dry environment.  © Gijo Paul George The building masses of the Chancellery and Residence form distinguished open spaces:  © Gijo Paul George All main facades are oriented towards these plazas to give a vivid and representative background. They are combining both contemporary German and traditional Omani elements, whilst its structure is based on stringent proportional rules. It reflects features of local design language - such as vertical bands of windows or the "Mashrabyia", a traditional ornamental shading screen, which is an essential element of Omani Architecture: throughout Omani history, the Mashrabiyya has been a significant figure within local architectural heritage. The households adapted the Mashrabiyya design to serve both cultural and functional requirements; culturally, it also provides privacy by restricting the view in or out of a window whilst maintaining air circulation.  © Gijo Paul George In terms of functionality, the Mashrabiya serves as a shading device which filters the excessive sunlight. This therefore greatly reduces heat build-up creating a comfortable living and working environment as well as maintaining adequate light inside the house. In the new Embassy facilities, the Window screens are applied in the same way and fulfill essential privacy, self-shading and especially security purposes.  © Gijo Paul George Protruding vertical bands to the main facades improve the self-shading effect of the building. These bands are adjusted to the path of the sun – hence the southern facades are longer in depth, minimizing the time of direct sun exposure. In order to cope with the rather high adjoining embassies, the facades seek to stretch vertically and include a parapet area into the structure of the main elevations. Internally, all main functions are directed towards these elevations, whereas the secondary side elevations underline the monolithic effect of the buildings by minimized openings, which also respects security considerations. This effect is supported by the Omani natural stone cladding, which also emphasizes the representative character of the buildings.  © Gijo Paul George While external appearance of the Chancellery is following a strict orthogonal grid, its interior bears a surprise to the visitor. The main atrium is based on the traditional Omani "Majlis" -an Arabic term meaning "a place of sitting", used in the context of 'council', to describe various types of special gatherings among common interest groups be it administrative, social or religious. In Oman, a Majlis is usually an open space at the entrance to public and domestic buildings. One of the main characteristics are the laid-out carpets, dominating the space. In the Middle East carpets and rugs have been widely used for centuries, and especially the Omani carpets have long been recognized as the finest examples of art in their own right.  © Gijo Paul George The main atrium in the Chancellery is also a public space for meeting, waiting and circulation – but instead of a regular carpet or rug, the unique flow of people within the void has been carefully studied and is woven into a three-dimensional sculpture. The mapping of human flow forms a grid system to which the stairs, ceiling void, and floor zoning all obey. The threads are still visible, though, on the floor: polished metal lines embedded into different shades of Omani Marble trace the threads and hint at the underlying blueprint. The iconic design of the new German Embassy premises reflects the new area of Omani architectural identity, combining the highest German building standards and design language with traditional Omani architecture and low-tech approaches to sustainability and building physics.  © Gijo Paul George  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| HEMU Headquarters / Yiduan Shanghai Interior Design Posted: 24 Nov 2018 03:00 PM PST  © Enlong Zhu
 © Enlong Zhu Text description provided by the architects. HEMU Headquarters is situated at Jiading District, Shanghai. The original building was built in the 1960s or 1970s, with a yard. As an annexe of Huilongtan Park which boasts a history of over 400 years, the building features a two-storey structure of bricks and timber, gray bricks and tiles with green moss on the surface as well as lots of archways. The yard is surrounded by century-old trees, echoing with jingling bells of Yingkui Mountain nearby. It's a fantastic place where people can enjoy birds' twitter, fragrance of flowers and a fantastic view of lush trees.  First floor plan Based on Oriental elements and humanism, the overall design adheres to originality, respects nature, conveys Zenist serenity and embodies traditional Oriental culture. The winding path leads to a secluded space where people can have an enchanting and unique view at each step. The whole space shows harmonious integration between the brand and nature, with display area and the front desk on F1, and working space and reception area on F2. Combining garments, tea, incense, wares and books, this place allows people to appreciate apparels, taste tea and read books with the fragrance of incense. Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication, so designers utilized a minimalist approach and natural materials to design the space, hoping to realize harmonious coexistence among clothing, people and nature as well as encourage people to keep a kind heart and discover beauty in spite of vicissitudes of life.  © Enlong Zhu  © Enlong Zhu The whole yard is divided into south yard, north yard and east yard. The facade of the building is highlighted with large area of windows which are magnificent and modern, forming contrast with the classical Chinese architecture itself. At the entrance area, the still water pond and the Chinese-style partition walls placed on the corridor together form an interesting circulation leading to the gate, and provide transition from landscape to the architecture.  © Enlong Zhu Stepping into the foyer, a long piece of wooden board that functions as top surface of the front desk pops into eyes, which is perfectly matched with two suspended cloth strips which overturned the traditional setting of front desk background. When entering the display area, there is another world. The passageway in this area was constructed with elevated granite strips at the middle, each with certain distance with another, and with white gravels on both sides. Such design adds a Zenist atmosphere to the space.  © Enlong Zhu  © Enlong Zhu In both display and working areas, low tables and cushions are arranged, which offers a relaxing way for sitting and highlights the height of the space. On the second floor, a large amount of old wood resonates with the walls covered in neat cement slurry, together forming a tranquil and austere space which is tailored to the brand culture of HEMU.  © Enlong Zhu  © Enlong Zhu Furthermore, the back yard is featured by Chinese classical elements. At night, the runway show, accompanied by Zenist music, pushes the charm of the space to a climax.  © Enlong Zhu In a word, HEMU Headquarters is a pioneering project of Yiduan for combining Zenist spirit, Chinese classical elements and modern style in the design.  © Enlong Zhu  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Which? Headquarters / Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates P.C. Posted: 24 Nov 2018 05:00 AM PST  © Hufton + Crow
 © Hufton + Crow Text description provided by the architects. The Which Headquarters is located in the London Borough of Camden. Regent's Park is located to the northwest, separated from the site by Peto Place and Park Square East - a row of Grade II-listed John Nash terraces.  © Hufton + Crow This complex conservation and retrofit project has remodeled an existing hybrid building – part Grade II*-listed Georgian terrace and part 1980's concrete-framed office building， KPF was commissioned by Which? The Consumer 'Association, team up with interior designer HLW, renovating the space to meet the needs of a modern charity and business.  Explosion Diagram The Grade II*-listed building linked directly, by way of doors and hallway, to the modern extension on Albany Street. But, the core of the new building was an impediment to connectivity across the whole site. KPF's objective was to create a more unified building with improved flow across the ground floor. KPF's concept for the ground floor was to remove parts of the 1980s concrete core at the threshold of the listed building, improving connectivity and creating a new meeting space and gallery on the ground floor.  © Hufton + Crow Making structural changes, such as the new lift locations and the removal of elements of the internal core, created a larger open-plan office layout allowing for improvement to the occupational density.  Program Distribution The reception area and other key internal spaces have been upgraded with high-quality materials and finishes to create a smart and contemporary workplace, while remaining sympathetic to the nature of the listed building's original details.  © Hufton + Crow A feeling of space and light has been created by removing the suspended ceiling, white-washing the soffit, rationalizing services and installing new lighting.  © Hufton + Crow Workspaces have been rationalized for a flexible fit to allow for changes in working practices. Formerly, Which? had no collaboration space, new areas have been located near the new lift core to create hubs on each level. These areas are a combination of enclosed rooms and semi-private sections of spaces to suit various needs.  © Hufton + Crow Extra space has been created by extending over the service ramp and an uninspired 1980s façade has been replaced with a dramatic new skin of transparent and translucent panels. Prior to the addition of the new façade, Peto Place was largely surrounded by the rear of buildings. By treating it as a principal façade, Peto Place has been transformed.  © Hufton + Crow  © Hufton + Crow Most strikingly, the scheme has utilized the large flat roof of the existing 1980s building to create an additional story with a unique and complex geometric form. The new roof and fourth floor has reused the existing structure of the building, avoiding the need for major reinforcement. The new floor accommodates a conference facility, canteen and accessible terrace to provide dynamic and versatile meeting, event and amenity space.  © Hufton + Crow  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Community Central Pavilion: A Momentary Structure to Collect Seismic Waves in Mexico Posted: 24 Nov 2018 04:00 AM PST  © Alberto Odériz 'Central Community Pavilion' was a response to an invitation to design a variety of temporary pavilions by different creators as a part of Arch Days CDMX and Design Week 2018. For the occasion, three up-and-coming architectural firms have joined forces to design and construct a single pavilion with a common theme. The design process between TO Arquitectura, LANZA Atelier, and Alberto Odériz reinforced the idea of a generation plagued with a certain collective curiosity and concern.  © Luis Young
 © Alberto Odériz The project consisted of a temporary structure made of partitions of rolled earth that became the Ocuilan Community Center. The structure stood by the lakes of Mexico City's Lincoln Park, a representation of the geographical elements between earth and water, where water became air and reflections.  © Alberto Odériz
 © Alberto Odériz The 60 centimeter thick walls are perforated as a way to extend the view of the person walking the path between them. The ado-blocks are made using hydraulic pressure applied to earth with a little bit of cement mixed in for structural stability. The blocks are high resistance, impermeable, and thermally and acoustically insulated. This same system could be applied to housing structures that measure under 5 floors and would be 25% less costly than traditional means thanks to the savings in transportation, steel, and cement. The Community Center Pavilion was a combined effort to strengthen the collective memory through the 10,000 partitions used to gather echos from the September 2017 tremors and the reconstruction that followed.  © Alberto Odériz Credits Project: TO (Jose G Amozurrutia and Carlos Facio), LANZA ATELIER (Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo), Alberto Odériz.

| 4 Projects That Show Mass Timber is the Future of American Cities Posted: 24 Nov 2018 01:30 AM PST  © DLR Group As architects face up to the need for ethical, sustainable design in the age of climate change awareness, timber architecture is making a comeback in a new, technologically impressive way. Largely overlooked in the age of Modernism, recent years have seen a plethora of advancements related to mass timber across the world. This year alone, Japan announced plans for a supertall wooden skyscraper in Tokyo by 2041, while the European continent has seen plans for the world's largest timber building in the Netherlands, and the world's tallest timber tower in Norway. The potential for mass timber to become the dominant material of future sustainable cities has also gained traction in the United States throughout 2018. Evolving codes and the increasing availability of mass timber is inspiring firms, universities, and state legislators to research and invest in ambitious projects across the country. The year has seen milestones such as Oregon becoming the first U.S. state to legalize mass timber high rise buildings, MIT unveiling its technology-driven, prefabricated Longhouse, and the University of Arkansas beginning construction on the country's first large-scale, mass timber higher education residence hall. The benefits of mass timber were also displayed at the AIA Conference on Architecture 2018, as part of the "Blueprint for Better Cities" theme. In recognition of the growth and potential of pass timber, we have assembled four projects currently being researched and conceptualized across the U.S. that are redefining what is possible with wood. From a bridge in Brooklyn to timber towers across Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco, the future schemes offer four in-tree-guing examples of how mass timber might redefine the skylines of future American cities. Timber Towers in Philadelphia © Hickok Cole DC Designers led by Sean McTaggart from Hickok Cole were shortlisted for the Skyhive Skyscraper challenge for the Philly Timber Towers project, demonstrating the viability of the mass timber high-rise as an alternative to steel and concrete. While in the process of designing the new landmark for Philadelphia's skyline, the group also received a grant to work on a mass timber Ranger Station in DC. 80-story River Beech Tower in Chicago © Perkins+Will Architects at Perkins+Will, working with engineers at Thornton Tomasetti, have conceptualized an 80-story mass timber building in Chicago. The scheme features 300 duplex units using an exterior diagrid system that leverages the natural axial strength of timber. This concept has been informed by recent Skidmore, Owings and Merrill Timber Towers research which found that timber-concrete hybrid systems can support loads of 82,000 pounds (8 times the required load) along with some steel hybrid systems that could be marketable in terms of bay sizes and floor openings. Mass Timber Multifamily in San Francisco © DLR Group Jose Brunner, a designer at DLR Group's San Francisco office, designed a modular timber tower atop a landmark building in San Francisco's Mission District for the "Mission: Housing design competition." The project exploits mass timber's potential as a strong but light-weight material for alternative development, providing additional housing in the heart of the city without the need to demolish of existing structures or displace existing residents.

 © Federal Studio Text description provided by the architects. The newly constructed recreational center known as the "Jardin Robinson" occupies a strategic position surrounded by the wooded water-banks of the Rhone on one side and the public facilities of the Lignon district with an emblematic expression of a 1960's concrete on the other side.  © Federal Studio  Section  © Federal Studio The building is located on a steep slope between the Lignon school and a pedestrian path leading to the water-banks of the Rhone. This position required the design and construction of a new access ramp located at the main entrance of the building for ease of accessibility.  © Federal Studio The project proposed a folded volume in response to its context as well as mobility requirements in the vicinity. The building was designed to integrate transparency and visual openings with its surrounding environment. The external plants and vegetation are internalized with the large glass facades. The building designed for public utility expresses a strong identity by privileging the relationship between the exterior and interior landscape.  © Federal Studio  © Federal Studio The program distribution is qualified by the use of mobile partitions allowing a flexibility of use according to the multiple activities of the users. The main area of the activity rooms has a kitchen with access to the loggia. A core area pierced by four windows allows visual control between the play areas of the children, the mezzanine, the workshop, the entrance and the administration office.  © Federal Studio The oak façades are composed of oblique blades reinterpreting the play of trees structuring the site. The roof, accessible from the outside, hosts thirty urban vegetable gardens and a fountain. It is conceived as a real meeting place nestled in the middle of the treetops.  © Federal Studio  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Iconic Columns in Modern Brazilian Architecture Posted: 23 Nov 2018 10:00 PM PST  © Joana França. Image Palácio da Alvorada Of Le Corbusier's five points of modern architecture (the ribbon window, free design of the façade and ground plan, a roof garden, and pilotis), pilotis are perhaps the most used element in Brazilian modern architecture. Independently of typology or scale, from the 1940s onward Brazilian architects began to add sophistication to buildings' structures. Architects Oscar Niemeyer, João Batista Vilanova Artigas, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, and Affonso Eduardo Reidy conceived true works of art from the aesthetical, visual and technical-structural point of view. Oscar NiemeyerOf the renowned group of architects who settled in Rio de Janeiro and grew to international fame in the 1940s and 1950s, perhaps Oscar Niemeyer developed the greatest number of structural experiments. Slim, bold, sometimes gravity-defying and innovative, Niemeyer's columns highlighted his genius and, particularly, his experimental labs. Elegantly settling on the ground, the pilotis of the Palácio da Alvorada, Palácio do Planalto, Supreme Court of Brasília, Cathedral of Brasília, Itamaraty and Rio de Janeiro Sambadrome surprise the viewer by uniting aesthetics and structural solutions.

Image Palácio da Agricultura Contemporary Art Museum João Batista Vilanova ArtigasWith a design process that has a strong structural research base, the pilotis designed by João Batista Vilanova Artigas lets go of the strict structural function to become sculptural pieces. The magic within the design allows for the addition of elements previously considered contradictory in architecture, such as incorporating light through the design of the columns. In the case with Jaú Bus Station, it opens up in four sections, allowing light to enter through the ceiling. Considered a manifesto in engineering-architectural production, this institutional work is both educational and cultural. It rigorously synthesizes the structural production of pilotis, revealing the magnificence of Vilanova Artigas's studies in parallel to the design concept of the place.
