Pentru copiii carora le e teama sa doarma singuri noaptea...o ciuperca atomica

Cineva s-a gandit si la copiii carora le e teama sa doarma singuri noaptea. Rezultatul este o ciuperca atomica aflata la undeva la granita dintre design, arta si cinism pacifist: "Huggable Atomic Mushroom". Abia expusa la Centre d'Art Contemporain in Geneva obiectul este creatia grupului format din Dunne & Raby impreuna cu Michael Anastassiades.

Komyo-ji - Tadao Ando

Komyo-ji is a new temple for the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, replacing replacing an aging 250-year-old structure. The temple consists of a square laminated wood structure that is an interpretation of traditional Japanese temple architecture and joinery. It is different from Ando's usual language of monolithic concrete construction through its assemblage of parts that compose a whole. Enjoy!

God damn!

God damn good architecture...

Casa de pe arhipelag, Suedia

The starting point is the direct relation to the dramatic archipelago landscape with the objective to offer within a simple frame - a platform - several diverse readings of the relation space-nature. Conceived as a light weight construction in wood and glass, this summerhouse is built in the outer Stockholm archipelago. The horizontal character of the black stained exterior relates to the verticals of tall grown pines and the mirrored views of the Baltic Sea. The geometry of the plan is generated by the specifics of the site, the house being fitted into the flat surface between two mountain rocks and turning simultaneously towards the sun in south and frontally towards the sea in west. With the small rooms placed in the back, the social areas of the house stand out as an open platform crisscrossed by sliding glass. The zig-zagged layout also creates a series of outside places sheltered from the strong winds.

Centru de reabilitare minori in Olanda

Units 5 and 6 of the Penitentiaire Inrichting Maasbergen in Overloon is converted from an institution for adults into an juvenile detention institution. A new and more intensive interaction with the surrounding nature is aimed at for the youngsters. The result was to remove part of the interior so that that the youngsters can prepare themselves for their return in to society. The concept aims at an open, transparent building between the closed prison and the outside world. Visitors can throw a glance at the prison life and the youngsters can look at the outside world, the society in which they will return later on.

Bloc de locuinte in Buenos Aires

This building is located in a 10 mts. wide plot, in a typically urban block in Buenos Aires. The 12 two-storey residential units are split in two compact blocks bridged by a lightweight steel tower which connects them. This structure contains the lift shaft, the main stair and the connecting bridges. Due to the fact that the street was so narrow, the building was recessed to gain privacy from its neighbours, but recomposes the street front with a light frame. This steel grid with wooden deck floors attached to the building façades act both as the apartment expansion terraces and as louvers that guarantee filtered natural light and heat control. During the night the building interacts, turned on as a light box, with the steel frame making it look like a Chinese shadow puppet. Both blocks float over the ground floor, resting on eight concrete columns and gaining lightness and visuals from the street entrance through the rear yard, which was kept like a small garden.
