| EseColectivo: “The Search for Efficiency Makes our Work in Ecuador Coherent” Posted: 10 Apr 2022 10:00 PM PDT  Casa Tanda / ESEcolectivo Arquitectos. Image © Andrés Villota EseColectivo is an architecture studio formed by Belén Argudo, José de la Torre, Santiago Granda and Pablo Silva based in Quito, Ecuador. Their interests are focused on experimentation with alternative building materials, with an emphasis on technologies and logic. In their design process, they seek to reconcile low-impact sustainable strategies with the specific needs and constraints of each project, so that their results are heterogeneous and differ in the type of methodological and technical approach. The experience of this team has not only been built from their works such as The Endemic House and House in a Corridor, but also through collaborative practices with architecture studios, cultural managers and related projects at local and international level, leading to the development of initiatives closer to architectural documentation, research and dissemination. Consequently, they created "La Parleta" - the first architecture podcast in Ecuador. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Map design and Built Environments in Video Games: Exploring The World of VALORANT Posted: 10 Apr 2022 09:30 PM PDT  Screenshot of 'Split'. Image via VALORANT Map design and the significance of built environments continue to be inherently integral to gameplay within the realm of virtual worlds and video games, specifically in the genre of first-person shooters, and Riot Games' VALORANT is no exception to this. Defying former expectations of its predecessors within the tactical shooter genre, Riot continually endeavors to make fundamental changes to decades of old formulas that have been implemented in practice all these years.

| Tents: An Architectural Language Posted: 10 Apr 2022 09:00 PM PDT  Concrete Tent / DAAR. Image © DAAR It's a ubiquitous architectural form. An architectural typology that spans centuries and borders, a staple across cultures. The tent. In its simplest form – it's a shelter, with material draped over a frame of poles. It's an architectural language that is intrinsically linked to nomadic living. Yurts, for instance, functions as an easily portable dwelling for the Kazakh and Kyrgyz peoples. At the same time, tents have proved a popular stylistic precedent for architects, the lightweight structures of German architect Frei Paul Otto being a case in point. The tent is a complicated architectural language – one that straddles the line between temporary and permanent, and one that also functions as a symbol of wealth and a symbol of scarcity.
