Editors’ Choice 2018 Skyscraper Competition Haotong Sun, Zonghao Wu, Fengwei Jia China The melting of arctic ice A reduction in Arctic summer ice cover has become more intense in recent years, culminating in a record low of 3.4 million square kilometres in 2012 – 18 per cent below the previous recorded minimum in 2007 and 50 per cent below the average in the 1980s and 1990s. Land ice is also retreating and permafrost is melting. The retreating ice brings easier access to natural resources such as gas and oil, thus prompting increased human activity that may threaten the already fragile ecosystems and wildlife, the UN Environment Programme’s report says.

The reason of melting 1.The reasons for the Arctic warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe are manifold. More heat is brought into the Arctic through the atmosphere and ocean currents, while the melting itself prompts further melting by reduced reflection of incoming sunlight.

Elena Garro Cultural Centre by Fernanda Canales and Arquitectura 911sc. Mexican architects Fernanda Canales and Arquitectura 911sc have wrapped a concrete and glass frame around the front of an old house in Mexico City to convert the building into a library (+ slideshow). The Elena Garro Cultural Centre is a two-storey library in Coyoacán, south of the city. The rectangular concrete volume extends from the brick and plaster facade of the early twentieth-century house, doubling the floorspace inside the property and creating a new entrance. The front elevation is fully glazed and integrates a system of vertical louvres, which rotate to allow ventilation through the building during its opening hours. A double-height foyer sits behind the new facade, which Fernanda Canales and Saidee Springall of Arquitectura 911sc imagined as an indoor courtyard overlooked by the balconies and windows of the original building.

Trees continue to grow up through the centre of the room and one emerges through a large skylight. Photography is by Sandra Pereznieto. Abandoned Architecture.

Archi - Sou Fujimoto. El Pais De Abundancia. The INFORMAL, a definition by architecture studio Urban-Think Tank. A relevant proof of the importance of the work on the urban form they call informal city. Urban form where 60% of Venezuelan population lives in and which affects most of the developing countries. “1) FORM - shape and structure; outward appearance; essence. Note the apparent contradiction in the definition - appearance vs. essence - which becomes more distinct in the verb to inform, meaning both to give form and shape to something (exterior) and to pervade, animate, and imspire (interior). 2) FORMAL - pertaining to customary form or conventionality; rigorously observant of forms; lacking in ease or freedom of outline or arrangement. 3) INFORMAL - not done or made according to a recognized or prescribed form; not according to order; unofficial, disorderly.

Informal does not mean ‘lacking form’. Source : Informal city Caracas case, Prestel, 2005. TRANSIT CITY.
