| Burning Man Reveals 2019 Temple Design Posted: 26 Dec 2018 08:00 PM PST  2019 Temple. Image © Geordie Van Der Bosch, courtesy of Burning Man. Burning Man has revealed the design for the central 2019 Temple for Black Rock City by Geordie Van Der Bosch. Featuring a design inspired by the Torii gates of the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Japan, the Temple submission was chosen for its elegant simplicity. Dubbed The Temple of Direction, the design consists of wooden archways that form a linear passageway to a large central hall.  2019 Temple. Image © Geordie Van Der Bosch, courtesy of Burning Man.  2019 Temple. Image © Geordie Van Der Bosch, courtesy of Burning Man. The Temple will be built next year in the Nevada desert during the festival which attracts around 70,000 attendees each August. The design was made to elicit both a "physical experience and a metaphorical journey." as a space that responds to the openness of the playa by creating a framework that encourages visitors to travel from end to end. Spanning 180-feet-long, 37-feet-wide, and 36-feet-high, the Temple will be oriented so its four entrances will align with the cardinal points. Decorated with lanterns, the temple's "linear form reflects the passage of life with its beginning, middle, and end," said the Burning Man team. "Throughout the structure there are areas that reflect this journey: narrow and wide spaces, bright and dark spaces, and tunnels that create intimate physical settings." The hall will feature an altar and shelves for offerings from attendees. Burning Man has issued a call for volunteers to help build the temple, which will be primarily fabricated in Oakland, California, and for fundraising efforts to help realize Van Der Bosch's project. The Burning Man festival will take place from August 25th to September 2nd, and the temple will be burned at the festival's end.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Old Water and Observatory Tower in Prague / Petr Hájek ARCHITEKTI Posted: 26 Dec 2018 07:00 PM PST  © Benedikt Markel
 © Benedikt Markel Text description provided by the architects. The complex of the former waterworks on Letná has undergone several conversions since it was constructed in the second half of the 19th century but only the water tower has been preserved in its original form. The technical buildings, including the steam machine engine room, were demolished and replaced with multi-story annexes. In recent decades the complex has been used as a youth centre and will retain this function once it has been renovated.  Axonometric view The water tower was originally the only local dominant point with a view of the city panorama. But over time the surrounding land was developed and the tower gradually lost its view of the city, it was blinded; however, our proposed periscope has returned its "sight". We used the chimney of the steam machine for pumping water to locate the periscope. The periscope can be used to observe not only the horizon and city panorama, but also objects in the night sky, such as the moon, the planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and many others, thanks to the powerful optics and electronic guidance system.  © Benedikt Markel A meeting hall is proposed at the highest point of this space, in which the main water tank was originally situated. It is equipped with a floor with elevation and an exhibition system with lights. It will be used for gatherings, exhibitions and musical productions. The tower's walkway, the periscope observation cabin and the maintenance stairway to the rafters, where the clock mechanism is located, are all accessible from this hall.  Scheme of observatory  © Benedikt Markel A library has been established on the level below the hall in the steam machine's "first boiler operator's" flat. The books cover the walls of the entire room on two levels and contribute to a peaceful and thought-provoking ambiance. The windows admit daylight and readers can sit in front of them on spacious benches. The reading room with tea-room is connected to the library.  © Benedikt Markel The clubhouse areas have been designed on the remaining tower levels. Each clubhouse has its own sanitary facility with kitchenette. The layout and location of the furniture is intended to remind visitors of the fact that the "first and second machine engineers'" flats were located in these areas.  © Benedikt Markel A Foucault pendulum has been installed in the foyer of the main staircase. This remarkable experiment demonstrates the rotation of the earth around its axis and was first displayed in the Pantheón in Paris around 1850 (shortly before the water works on Letná were built).  © Benedikt Markel  Model 01  © Benedikt Markel The surrounding annexes are used for the requirements of the Children and Youth Organisation and the pre-school facility. There is a separate entrance to each area. The flat roofs are converted into terraces and gardens and the pre-school has its own separate garden on the ground floor level. This part of the building also includes a spacious multi-functional hall.  © Benedikt Markel The complex has been carefully renovated from the architectural aspect. All the layers of history, from construction to the present, have been preserved during the modification works. We do not differentiate or categorise the individual architectural elements but preserve them identically. The result is a structure that complexly presents the quality of the craftwork and details of various periods. You can find brush grained window from the 19th century next to doors from the nineteen-fifties, sixties and seventies. Aluminium windows from the 21st century, Bakelite, brass and steel window furniture. All composing a spatial architectural collage as it was created by time.

 © Juliusz Sokołowski Text description provided by the architects. Recently nominated for the EU Mies award 2019 'red house' by Biuro Toprojekt is situated in a Cistercian landscape of Rudy Wielkie, a vast area in Upper Silesia of Poland. The walls of the building were made out of hand-sorted waste bricks from nearby brickworks making it a perfect fit for the vicinity of Rudy where one can find a number of brick buildings built in a masterly way.  © Juliusz Sokołowski
 © Juliusz Sokołowski The foundation was created as a result of the already active forestry and fishing economic activity of the Order, which has been running since the 13th century. Compliant with the Cistercian rule, based on the principles of ecology and respect for nature, construction was based on easily accessible local materials - wood and bricks. The building is located on the edge of a vast forest glade, in the corner of the area designated for the new single-family development. A variation of cross-linking was used, in which two bricks next to each other with heads on top of each other are pushed out on one side and pressed on the other side in relation to the face of the wall. This simple treatment significantly enriched the work of chiaroscuro on the façade. By completely removing the same pair of bricks, an openwork wall was created, concealing the window openings that could break the clean structure of the façade.  © Juliusz Sokołowski  Ground floor plan  © Juliusz Sokołowski At night, when the chiaroscuro does not work, the first plan is made up of glowing drops of openwork. The building grows out of the ground and is not to be separated from it by any band. In the process of patinating the ceramic material, the line of contact with the ground should become more and more blurred, and the colors of the roof and wall surface should be joined together. The green roof, over time, will have a plant cover and colors will start to harmonize making the house and the natural surrounding as one.  © Juliusz Sokołowski  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Covered Market and Exhibition Area in Schiltigheim / Dominique Coulon & associés Posted: 26 Dec 2018 05:00 PM PST  © Eugeni Pons
 © Eugeni Pons Text description provided by the architects. Schiltigheim is the third largest town in the Bas-Rhin département (eastern France) in terms of population and is the most densely populated town in the Strasbourg metropolis. It developed in the nineteenth century, centered on brewing and related industrial activities. These activities declined in the late twentieth century, leaving much industrial land lying waste. The rehabilitation of the butchers' cooperative is part of a process initiated by the municipality with the aim of regenerating the town's urban fabric.  © David Romero-Uzeda  © Eugeni Pons The place was originally a distillery, before becoming a butchers' cooperative, and had been taken over by the municipal authorities, who had turned it into an exhibition area for young artists and a place for drama performances. When the venue ceased to meet the safety standards in force, it was closed to the public — for a decade. The substantial rehabilitation project deals with the building in two ways: the emblematic site in the heart of the historic center of the town has been given a new lease of life, while its heritage and architectural integrity have been preserved. Its mixed programme and the through passage it creates confers on it the status of public space, accommodating a market, places for shopkeepers, an exhibition area, and a creative workshop.  Axonometry This new art center and covered market are set within an exemplary built context, comprising strips of land and remarkable examples of vernacular architecture. While affirming its contemporary dimension, it highlights the constructional and aesthetic qualities of the existing buildings on the site. In doing so, it returns to a process that has characterized the formation of our built heritage — stratification.  © Eugeni Pons The transparency of the bay windows contrasts with the material opacity of the wood-framed houses. It thrusts itself upwards, providing shelter for the summer bar, which really extends the exhibition area outdoors. This generous arrangement confers institutional status on the cultural center, which is intended above all to serve as a place where all can gather and talk. On the inside, the architecture and the scenography are used to promote spatial polyvalence by proposing efficient internal functioning and modulable light. Here, the exhibition area attains its universal ideal, becoming a single space with multiple uses.  © David Romero-Uzeda  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 Beam Pavilion in the North Part of the Park. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song Text description provided by the architects. The Guyang River, situated in the eastern of He Jian City, is a part of the ancient waterway around the river in history. However, in modern times, the waterway has been abandoned, and the large waste from the surrounding factories and residential areas made the ancient waterway a drain. The Guyang River Park we designed and built is the important part of the renovation of the water system around the city: dredging waterways, rectifying water bodies and ecological restoration of water bodies and surrounding areas.  Beam Pavilion in the North Part of the Park. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song We expand the water surface and add walkways and structures around the waterway for people to pass and rest. The new Guyang River have become a place for residents to relax and integrate into nature in addition to flood discharge function.  Beam Pavilion in the North Part of the Park Winter. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song Beam Pavilion is the two sets of water side pavilions that we designed in the Guyang River Park. Here, the pavilion is a way we intervene in nature, and offers a new perspective and experience of the scenery. It is in this process that we create the landscape.  Beam Pavilion in the South Part of the Park. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song Semper divides the construction skills into two basic types in his works: the tectonics of the frame and the stereophonic of the earthwork. The former can be explained as the frame formed by the joints between the woods, and the latter is the formation of the mass and volume in the repeated masonry. The two sets of waterside pavilions are formed by the overlap of two techniques up and down through the beam.  Beam Pavilion in the South Part of the Park. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song Beam Pavilion. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song Structural Expression  Beam Pavilion in the South Part of the Park. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song  Beam Pavilion in the North Part of the Park. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song We intend to let the lower masonry play a dual role, not enclosing the space and shaping the site, but also carrying the weight of the upper truss through the bonding of the beams. In traditional Chinese architecture, the girder is the most important component of the building. The size of the girder determines the span of the house, and the weight of the truss is concentrated on this component. The span and height of the beam is the expression of the scale of the building.  Under the Beam. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song We aim at making the beam a core expression of the force on the roof truss in the design. The exaggerated girder is 1 meter high and spans the entire width of 12 meters, but is less than 2.3 meters above the ground. It is almost within reach. The beam's span seems farther due to the disparity between the height and the span. The beam is nearly 4 meters on the outside. On one hand, the large-scale exposed part enhances the visual expression of the beam , and on the other hand it blurs the internal and external relation of the building, and both sides of the wall provide shelter for people.  Under the Beam. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song Structure  Under the Beam. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song  A Span of 12 Meters. Image © Fangfang Tian, Benming Song The low beam not only gives the body a sense of urgency, but also defines "inside" and "outside" before the roof. The girder slightly above the head is always through the building. Standing behind the beam, we can see the picture frame defined by the beam and the ground. Walking forward will complete the crossing under the beam. This is the most unique ceremony in the beam pavilion, a wonderful interaction between the building components and the body.  The lower masonry not only encloses the space, but also carries the weight of the upper truss through the overlapping of the beams..

 Courtesy of ZJJZ Text description provided by the architects. Located in the remote village of Tuanjie, the Dafa Canal Tourist Information Center is one of the first projects of a new government policy to help ameliorate rural poverty through the introduction of agricultural tourism. The building aims to become a new centerpiece in the village, catalyzing further development in the area.  © Laurian Ghinitoiu Recent years have seen hurried attempts by architects to preserve the disappearing traditional architecture in rural China. However, unlike other rural areas Tuanjie village has little traditional architecture to hold on to. Instead, its striking landscapes provide a new inspiration for a rural architecture that blurs the boundary between building and nature. Dafa Canal Tourist Information Center combines office and exhibition program under a stepped public roof that merges into the surrounding landscape, serving as a new platform for local public life.  © Laurian Ghinitoiu Location  © Laurian Ghinitoiu In addition, the concurrent construction of the site road and a strict project schedule enforced a rigorous approach to the project development. In the end, the constraints which shape the project form the distinctive characteristics of the tourist center.  Section 1 Architecture Concept  © Laurian Ghinitoiu When viewed from below, the building reads as a composition of smaller volumes, harmonizing with the surrounding nature and village.

 © Weiqi Jin Text description provided by the architects. Beijing-based architecture studio, TEMP, has renovated an old house into a café in Incheon, South Korea. The original structure was first built in the 70s using mainly bricks and concrete for a residential purpose. It was then turned into a local noodle store by the early 2000s. During this first transition, the building was painted white and the front yard was flattened into a parking lot. In refitting the structure to function as café, the studio designed through methods that mostly comprised of destruction to reveal the original architecture.  © Weiqi Jin The painted white façade was ground away to reveal the original concrete layers. The interior drywalls and the raised floors were then taken away revealing the inner brick structural walls. The glazing façade was replaced by folding glass doors to allow for a more natural transition from the outdoors to the indoors. It essentially is a process of cleaning up as more were taken away then added.  © Weiqi Jin  © Weiqi Jin The outdoor balcony area is the only newly added area. It is a stepped concrete block structure with landscape and seating embedded into it. As one steps out of the café down to the street, he passes through a few layers of space from the old bricks to the concrete façade, the folding glass doors to the wire ropes, and so on. A row of wire ropes bridges the older mass to the new platform while creating a triangular volume of space and giving the building a different look.  © Weiqi Jin The familiarity of what used to exist over a few decades is overlaid with a wash of few carefully added components. The coffee bar, the stairs, and the customer's seating area mainly built using concrete, wood, and steel. The seemingly-noticeable tension between the two embodies the atmosphere of the space.  © Weiqi Jin The café overall explores a way to convert an existing private residential structure into a commercial space that benefit from being more open and public. The balance between what to destroy or preserve and whether to intervene or enhance defines the project.  © Weiqi Jin  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Eiichi Kano Text description provided by the architects. To create a huge emptiness within the crowded shopping mall and tried to present the interior space more like an architectural work, a simple solution for the store came up:  © Eiichi Kano The interior space is composed of 5 cantilever tables (maximum length is 12 meters) made of concrete. Extreme dimensions, maximum length, minimum width and depth ensure the maximum linear display and circulation for customers. The voids of the shop is divided to six parts by floating volumes which is allowed to contain large amount of stocks and functional programs like workshop of glasses fabrication between table no.4 to 5 (refer to the plan).  © Eiichi Kano Construction method makes this interior work in architectural way, steel structure covered by cast-in-situ concrete. Even the furniture is a piece of structure. © Eiichi Kano Further more, considering about experience the interior space like a low extending landscape, all tables remain in horizontal and a just level, 80 centimeters high from the ground.  © Eiichi Kano Prestressed cantilever structure cladded with tons of concrete achieves lightness of floating volume by heaviness of materiality and allows the dimension, 25 centimeters depth, to leave a maximum space underneath for remaining perception of floatiness.  © Eiichi Kano  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Tham & Videgård Reinvent Swedish Timber Row Houses Posted: 26 Dec 2018 05:00 AM PST  Vertical Village II. Image Courtesy of Tham & Videgård Arkitekter Swedish practice Tham & Videgård Arkitekter designed a series of colored timber homes for Gothenburg, Sweden. Part of a larger site development along Landvetter Lake, the project was imagined as a "vertical village" that rethinks the row house typology. A series of compact, three-level homes include private gardens around tall hedges and rounded plots. The solid timber design reimagines the firm's original proposal for a site in Stockholm.  Vertical Village II. Image Courtesy of Tham & Videgård Arkitekter Focusing on vertical massing, Tham & Videgård's design hopes to create more dense single family housing. The firm created a network of pathways around private and public spaces that draw connections between the neighborhood and the larger community. Formed as a small scale urban environment, the project will be built from cross-laminated timber. To create diversity and varied spatial types, the identical houses feature a range of colors.  Vertical Village II. Image Courtesy of Tham & Videgård Arkitekter  Vertical Village II.

 © Monique Cabral Text description provided by the architects. CASA FIRJAN is a space for reflection and creation of proposals and innovative solutions to the challenges of the new economy.  © Monique Cabral The project, recently awarded as the Best New Building in the Annual Award of the Architect´s Institute of Rio de Janeiro, is the result of an architectural competition in 2012, promoted by the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro. Implemented on the site of the Palacete Linneu de Paula Machado, residence of the family Guinle in Botafogo, CASA FIRJAN connects in its various spaces corporate, educational and cultural activities, promoting encounter among the actors of the Creative Industries within a space of connectivity and interaction.  © Monique Cabral The design of the project stimulates the appropriation of space by its users, promotes the dialogue between the different buildings of the complex, between internal and external, between students, entrepreneurs and visitors.  © Monique Cabral With a widespread program, the space will offer lectures, courses, business forums, fab lab, exhibitions and outdoor cinema on the central square.  © Monique Cabral Within the intense and bustling neighborhood of Botafogo, the site of the CASA FIRJAN forms a space of repose in the urban fabric of the neighborhood, a place of relaxation where the historical Palacete and its century-old tree lined gardens generate an environment of reflection and contemplation.  © Monique Cabral The insertion of a building for education, production, exhibition and discussion provokes an instigating dialogue with the environment and evokes new occupation of the historical place, guiding the space to creativity, knowledge, art and leisure.  © Fernando Bonini In the setting of the new building, the existing trees were preserved, and an internal square was created between the building and the Palacete, to generate meeting space and to allow the legibility of the two moments of construction. The new building of CASA FIRJAN gives the protagonism to the historical Palacete, creating an instigating dialogue.  © Monique Cabral  'Palacete' Plans  © Monique Cabral The geometry of the building consists of two blocks on a single basement, connected on the last floor. The different sectors of the building are connected by an internal course that is largely located on the outside facade. The void created between the blocks is part of this course and forms a space of multiple activities free to the students' appropriation.  © Monique Cabral The elevations of the building are marked by transparency. The façade to Rua Guilhermina Guinle is composed by large glass panels presenting the building inviting and receptive. The internal facades, facing the square and the Palacete, present a double skin with a glass façade and a layer of mobile panels of vertical wood louvers, which protect the facade of the direct solar incidence and allow visibility of the internal activities. The movement of the louvers generates dynamism and vivacity.  © Monique Cabral The building stands out for its functional design and its sustainable attitudes. In addition to the natural lighting through the glass facades and shading by the louver panels, it works with reuse of rainwater and use of solar energy. Natural ventilation and economical air conditioning systems complete the energy efficiency. The project was awarded with the second place in the Saint-Gobain Prize for Architecture - Sustainable Habitat in the 'Institutional Design' category.  Section  Elevation The Palacete Linneo de Paula Machado was built by the family Guinle in 1906 with a project by John Oberg. In 1910 an extension by architect Armando da Silva Telles conferred the prevailing architectural style to the building, which is still observed today. From 1911, the couple Celina Guinle and Linneode Paula Machado lived in the residence. In 2003 the building and the gardens were registered by the Municipality, in 2006 by the State of Rio de Janeiro. In 2010 occurred the acquisition of the property by FIRJAN.  © Monique Cabral The Palacete Linneo de Paula Machado is a typical example of architecture in the beginning of the twentieth century in Brazil, with an eclectic composition of French influence. The restoration of the Palacete maintains integrally its original configuration, harmoniously inserting the technical needs of the new occupation as a corporate and cultural space. The original elements have been preserved, parquet floors, mosaics, ornaments, and new elements were added, like a new lighting and furniture.  © Monique Cabral The furniture in accordance to the vocation of CASA FIRJAN represents Brazilian design, exposing classic objects, with a room dedicated to Sergio Rodrigues and his students, and contemporary ones, like furniture by Marcos Ferreira, Bruno Faucs and Marcelo Ligieri. Furnitures individually designed for this project by Atelier77 complete the ambience.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| A Colorful Interactive Version of Euclid’s "Elements" Online for Free Posted: 26 Dec 2018 03:00 AM PST  © Nicholas Rougeux, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 Written in 300BC, Euclid's "Elements" is a collection of 13 books containing definitions, propositions, and mathematical proofs, and is considered instrumental in the development of logic and modern science. With the advent of the printing press, many editions of the book have been shared through the centuries. One of the most famous is that of Oliver Byrne in 1847, an edition of the first six books that is set apart for its bold use of color to depict mathematical proofs, rather than using letters to label angles and shapes.  © Nicholas Rougeux, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 To bring Byrne's beautiful works back to life in the modern age, Nicholas Rougeux has developed a digital platform celebrating the books through digital reproductions, interactive diagrams, cross-references, and posters.  © Nicholas Rougeux, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 The diagrams on Rougeux's site, accessed here, were created by tracing the originals to ensure they stayed true to Euclid's geometric principles, while the accompanying proofs have been transformed into clickable shapes to further the user's understanding.  © Nicholas Rougeux, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 Rougeux has sought to maintain the spirit of Byrne's editions though adherence his Caslon typeface, recreated using Adobe Caslon Pro, and complete with discretionary ligatures and old style numbers. Ornate initials, originally designed by Mary Byfield, have also been reproduced as a custom font, and are available for free download under a CC license.  © Nicholas Rougeux, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 As well as the online database, Rougeux has produced a colorful detailed poster derived from Byrne's work, containing every geometric illustration from the 1847 edition.

| Suburban House II / Amunátegui Valdés Architects Posted: 26 Dec 2018 02:00 AM PST  Cortesía de Amunátegui Valdés
 Cortesía de Amunátegui Valdés Text description provided by the architects. Just like House Nº 1, this house is located in a half rural, half suburban area of Curicó. It was designed for a judge and her two daughters. Several themes are hidden behind the apparently banal recurrence to the formula of the pavilion, so dear to the modernist canon. For a start, the more private sphere of domesticity was organized in the eastern wing through a corridor which by virtue of its size has become an antechamber, if not a room in its own right.  Floor Plan Closets have been reversed towards this room so as to sometimes turn dressing into a common celebration, as requested by client and daughters. Hence the wide bay window and the bench, and hence, too, the continuous skylight on the roof. Two bathrooms complete the ensemble of elements that will grant this space enough activity so as to consider it one amongst the rooms of the house. The adjacent bedrooms can be fully traversed towards the roofed terrace, thus adding another component of publicity to the layout. The main bedroom intensifies the interplay between the rooms bringing into play a version of the ancient aedicule revitalized by Charles Moore in some of his own residences.  Cortesía de Amunátegui Valdés  Longitudinal Section  Cortesía de Amunátegui Valdés The western pavilion is an exercise on compression and distribution: living room, dining room, kitchen, storage, laundry and service room – that is to say two interdependent parts of the domestic world – have been articulated through an enclosed patio that insists on the autonomy of the dwelling, particularly in the context of a site that offers little to cling to. Kitchen, dining, and living room have been organized around a chimney, which is at the same time the column that supports a pyramidal roof – an iteration of the structure used at the Köök bistro. The ceiling is tall enough so as to host a space on top of the kitchen – a work place for the mother/judge.  Cortesía de Amunátegui Valdés Between the two pavilions we devised a small articulator, clumsy when looked at on the plan, more gracious when extruded. As for the roofs, their physiognomies respond to fundamentally different problems, although they both recur to similar aesthetic codes. In the future we hope to add a third roof giving form to a garden ‘room’ associated with the pool and garden activities. We decided to turn to prefabricated elements to facilitate the construction process, and provide with enough regularity for the roof structure as well as for the expression of facades.

| Mecanoo's Qianhai Data Center is a "Digital Lighthouse" for Shenzhen Posted: 26 Dec 2018 01:00 AM PST  © Mecanoo Mecanoo has unveiled their design for the Qianhai Data Center in Shenzhen, China, from which they received second prize in an international design competition. The 63,000-square-meter scheme, imagined as an urban beacon, consists of an opaque tower atop an open plinth with offices and support spaces. The 113-meter-tall "digital lighthouse" is to be located within the 15-square-kilometer Qianhai Free Development Zone, where it will mark the arrival to the district and symbolize its innovative ambition.  © Mecanoo The insulated tower, containing a bounty of data racks, is clad with a series of 3.2m x 1.8m concrete panels, each with a grid of 15 x 12 "pixels." By day the opaque façade "will bear the images of clouds in the style of a traditional Chinese painting" while at night, it will come alive as a dynamic digital display. The daytime cloud images are formed by protruding concrete elements, while light sources in the center of the panels and around the edges form a light source.  © Mecanoo The plinth upon which the data tower sits opens up towards its surroundings, offering a "pleasant, green working environment." The office areas, spread a double-height operational center hall, open out through glazed facades, giving works a direct view onto shifting terrace landscapes.  © Mecanoo Accompanying the landscaped terraces are "pocket" terraces to provide access to planted outdoor areas, thus giving visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature within Qianhai's dense commercial district.  © Mecanoo For the scheme's development, Mecanoo worked in collaboration with Huasen Architects.  © Mecanoo News of the scheme comes months after the world's largest performing arts center opened in Taiwan, designed Mecanoo.

| Letovo Schoolcampus / atelier PRO Posted: 26 Dec 2018 12:00 AM PST  © NARODIZKIY
 © Dmitry Voinov Text description provided by the architects. The official grand opening of a special school, Letovo School, took place in Moscow last September. The assignment entailed a 20 hectare schoolcampus with educational facilities, student housing and school staff housing. The school campus offers extended outdoor sports facilities with a soccer stade, a running track, tennis courts and basketball courts. In addition there is a greenhouse, a treeyard and ample space for wandering and relaxation in the green.  © Dmitry Voinov While the architecture and interior of the school were designed by atelier PRO, the landscape design was developed by Buro Sant en Co landscape architecture. Russian firm Atrium Architectural Studio was responsible for the technical execution. In 2014 Atelier PRO had won the international design competition, the construction began mid-2016 and the campus was taken into use by mid-2018.  © Dmitry Voinov Letovo, a dream come true  © NARODIZKIY Landscape-inspired design and shape  © NARODIZKIY The shape of the large complex brings it down to a human scale for the children: the building appears to dance across the landscape due to its dynamic design. Due to the perspective effect one only ever sees part of the building's full size when walking around, which gives the impression of a refined scale. The building's contours and flowing curves create surprising indoor and outdoor spaces as well.  © NARODIZKIY The heart of the school: the central hub  © Dmitry Voinov Learning environment with a diversity in working spaces  © NARODIZKIY Sports programme  © atelier PRO The interior, also designed by atelier PRO, is tailored to the aims of the ambitious programme. The design of the interior also focuses extensively on the various spaces where students can go to chill and meet up with friends. The extreme cold in this area makes the school's indoor atmosphere important for relaxation.
