Maison de Verre. Maison de Verre's umbrella stand (at the entry) typical of the hand-crafted machine looking interior Coordinates: Maison de Verre (front left facade) The design was a collaboration among Pierre Chareau (a furniture and interiors designer), Bernard Bijvoet (a Dutch architect working in Paris since 1927) and Louis Dalbet (craftsman metalworker). Much of the intricate moving scenery of the house was designed on site as the project developed. The external form is defined by translucent glass block walls, with select areas of clear glazing for tranparency. The program of the home was somewhat unusual in that it included a ground-floor medical suite for Dr. The house is notable for its splendid architecture, but it may be more well known for another reason.
Dr. American architectural historian Robert Rubin bought the house from Dalsace family in 2006 to restore it and use it for his family residence.[1] He allows a limited number of tours to the house.[2] Quick details[edit] References[edit] UTOPIA 100 | An Hybrid City for London. The problem of a great flood in London has been selected by Ángel Martínez García as the main problem to resolve with his architectural final project for the University of Alicante this year. The history of floods in London has been disastrous and repetitive over the years. The first great flood in London in the 20th Century happened in 1901, as reported by the London Daily Graphic that year, much damage was done in the town and they reported that the lower parts of Coventry were completely submerged, the water in some cases rised to the numbers upon the doors.
Steve Orland shared an amazing image of that flood here. After that, in 1928, there was the Thames Flood, that affected much of riverside London on 7 January 1928, as well as places further downriver and the 1947 Thames flood was worst overall 20th century flood of the River Thames, affecting much of the Thames Valley as well as elsewhere in England during the middle of March 1947 after a severe winter.
Metrotopia 01 Blue Parks. # MILITARIZED ARCHITECTURES /// Heathrow Fortress Airplot. Weightless by Paisajes Emergentes. Two years ago, Greenpeace UK launched an idea competition (see also the video after the break) to fortify the piece of land they acquired in order to prevent a third runway to be built on London Heathrow Airport. The idea was to build an architecture that would prevent the accomplishment of construction. Most teams designed some sort of bunkers (see here and here) or towers (see here), but the Medellin (Columbia) based architecture office Paisajes Emergentes proposed a very peculiar idea whose sense of spectacular is as important as its fragility.
In fact, the aerial fortress (one could think of Miyazaki !) Weightless attempt to both block the sky routes and to materialize the environment on the ground with helium balloons. I highly recommend the exploration of Paisajes Emergentes’ website which is full of beautiful and intelligent projects hybridizing architecture and landscape design. Here is the text wrote by Paisajes Emergentes to introduce their project: Heathrow Airplot.

Children Health Resort, Krvavice, Croatia, 1961; architect: Rikard Marasović (© Wolfgang Thaler) For hardcore Modernists visiting Slovenia between the 10th February and the 22nd March the exhibition Unfinished Modernisations: Between Utopia and Pragmatism at the Maribor Art Gallery looks to be something of a treat. A number of exhibitions, lectures and books have recently spawned that look at the architectural legacy left behind the Iron Curtain. This exhibition concentrates on the former Yugoslavia and looks to understand the role architecture and urban planning played in defining Socialism itself. Modernisation of the country was considered a collective achievement during the Socialist period.
This attitude tended to engender megalomaniac projects that fit the perceived scale of the national ego.

An amazing combination between sculpture and architecture, the splendid expression of Auroville's chiefarchitect Roger Anger breaks the mould of the conventional code of 'four walls and a roof habitation'. A graduate from the classical 'Beaux Arts' in Paris, Roger came to India in 1956.
Home to him and hiscompanion Jacqueline, the house has an incredible timelessness about itself. A product of the 60's movement in architecture, with Roger's background as a sculptor, painter, artist, architect, planner and above all a visionary, this house built in the early seventies even today is as contemporary as contemporary can be.
As I approach the gate, beyond, there appears a fantasy arising out of the ground in the characteristic red earth of Auroville. The path winding around, the water body, the landscaping with its sculptures are subtly orchestrated mutually enhancing the interplay of ideas as it culminates into the grand finale….. the abode itself. Japanese Shell House by Kotaro Ide. Sunset Cabin / Taylor Smyth Architects Sunset Cabin / Taylor Smyth Architects (7) Putney Mountain Residence by Kyu Sung Woo Architects. Architect Kyu Sung Woo designed this house in Vermont for him and his family. The site on the southwestern slope of Putney Mountain is characterized by heavily wooded terrain, large outcroppings of ledge, and dramatic sweeping views.
Three clearings in the woods frame the approach to the house from the east and open up the site to the surrounding landscape. The house consists of three simple volumes arranged around a large outcropping of exposed ledge. A living volume faces the western mountains, sleeping quarters face a southern meadow, and a shed volume houses storage and mechanical equipment.

A partir del 15M se han realizado diferentes tipos de construcciones informales en las concentraciones por todo el mundo y estoy seguro de que dentro de un tiempo serán motivo de análisis. Bernard Tschumi comentaba cómo aquella construcción se convirtió en arquitectura porque era ocupada por las personas, porque la gente lo entendía como un lugar donde poder reunirse, un espacio acotado donde la utopía podía hacerse realidad. Massimo Mazzone me manda esta sencilla cúpula cargada con un ideario utópico y libertario de las movilizaciones en Roma. Aquí os dejamos un pequeño decálogo de las ideas que nos ha mandado: occupyroma.tkágora libertaria! "El monopolio de la gouvernance del mundo de las imágenes y del imaginario, que ha sido un territorio exclusivo de los artistas a lo largo de la historia, hoy se transforma en el extremo territorio de la conquista capitalista posmoderna.

BAT TOWER is the first built prototype in a series of bat habitation projects which explore strategies for increasing public awareness of bats as a critical component of our ecosystem. Bats are effective as natural pesticides, pollinators, and mosquito abatement. Yet they are often considered as a kind of urban pest, and are frequently exterminated by human-run ‘pest control’ services. In an attempt to bring visibility to bats, BAT TOWER challenges notions of the typical off-the-shelf bat house. BAT TOWER is sited and designed to attract and facilitate bat inhabitation.

Architects: CREUSeCARRASCO ArquitectosLocation: Malpica Port, La Coruña, Spain Project + Work Directors: Juan Creus, Covadonga Carrasco Collaborators: Francisco Rosell, Felipe Riola, Roi Feijoo, Belén Salgado, Alexandre Antunes, Bárbara Mesquita, Laura Coladas Completion: January 2009 Total Cost: 2,843,239.43 euros Intervention Area: 13,710 sqm Photographs: CREUSeCARRASCO arquitectos, Xoan Piñón This harbour redevelopment project, developed in conjunction with the Port Authority, is primarily focused on zones where public space can be created. The harbour was analysed as a place for interrelations and shelter, with the appeal of its fishing industry and its views; a unique location that makes its presence felt in the town with ramps, stairs and balconies. The linear nature of the horseshoe-shaped harbour is exploited to the utmost with a promenade, accessible at an intermediate level that runs along the cliff, resting on outcrops and wall tops which inhabit it in a sense.
Luminata Closing Weekend - Saturday. I set out late Saturday morning to do my Luminato Circuit. I had plotted a walking route from my house up to Yorkville Village by way of the Red Ball Project Installation on Queen St. West, then south on Yonge Street to the art installations at the Brookfield Place Galleria and then down to Harbourfront to see Cirque du Soleil. The route was really a big square which I guess was about 10 KM in distance in all. A nice stroll for a nice day such as we had. My first stop was at the Red Ball Project. Then it was on to the Brazilian Guitar Marathon at Yorkville Village. There was a great crowd gathered to listen to the music, but I managed to find a spot to sit and listen for an hour or so. There was also a spray paint street artist who was doing a demo on the street - not on a wall but on a board set up on an easel.
Next, I came back south again on Yonge Street back down to the Financial District. Lastly, I went down to our Harbourfront area. From the Luminata Website: Casa en el pasadizo Buhan. FABRE/de MARIEN Architectes. Obras El proyecto consiste en la transformación de un garaje en una vivienda de planta baja, resuelta como una única habitación de 41m2. El inmueble se encuentra en el pasadizo Buhan, cerca de la plaza Stalingrad de Burdeos. El acceso se produce a través de dos salidas principales a las calles Monméjean-la Bastide y Benauge. La fachada del edificio mide exactamente lo que la ruta privada de acceso, con lo que el propietario posee de alguna manera la mitad de ese espacio.
Se crea un patio de 9m2 dentro de la vivienda que permite una nueva organización espacial, además de ofrecer iluminación natural y ventilación. El interior se vacía al completo y se acristala hacia el patio. La nueva fachada se reviste con madera en referencia a otras intervenciones que ya existían en el pasadizo, como las puertas exteriores de un antiguo establo o la fachada de algunos comercios de planta baja.

The ChonGae Canal Restoration Project is an ambitious redevelopment initiative that transformed the urban fabric of Seoul, Korea. This design was the winning project in an international competition and celebrates the source point of cleansed surficial and sub grade runoff from the city at the start of this seven mile green corridor. The main competition requirement was to highlight the future reunification of North and South Korea. The project symbolizes this political effort through the use of donated local stone from each of the eight provinces of North and South Korea. The individual stones act to frame the urban plaza and the eight source points where runoff is daylighted and represents the unified effort in the transformation of this urban center.
