Most city parts of Almere, a city with almost 190.000 inhabitants, have a petting farm. In the 'den Uyl' park there used to be one, but it burned down in the early 80's, leaving only its concrete foundation. Early 2005 we were commissioned by the municipality of Almere to design a new petting farm on the exact location and the remaining foundation. The building was finally built using almost only sponsored money, and finished late 2008. We designed a wooden box with an open facade system for the upper half of the building, allowing the wind to ventilate the whole farm continuously. Mediabank / HASSELL.

Izaskun Chinchilla Architects’ Organic Growth Pavilion Opens on Governors Island. Izaskun Chinchilla Architects have made their recycled, upcycled, and bicycled “Organic Growth Pavilion” a reality on New York’s Governors Island.
One of two winners of the “City of Dreams” pavilion competition (hosted by AIANY Emerging New York Architects Committee and the Structural Engineers Association of New York), Izaskun Chinchilla Architects carried out a kickstarter campaign to fund the pavilion’s construction. The Organic Growth Pavilion is predicated on two simple, yet profound, ideas: adopt architectural and structural principles from the morphology of adaptive plants and organisms, and source all components from secondhand and recycled materials.
All the components involved in the structure’s assembly were used before as something else. Structural framing consisted of used umbrellas, stools and tripods. Shading devices were built out of umbrella tops and recycled bicycle wheels. See all our coverage of Izaskun Chinchilla Architects here. Estonian Pavilion Expo Milano 2015 / KTA OÜ.

Bolton Residence / NatureHumaine. Architects: NatureHumaine Location: Bolton-Est, QC J0E, Canada Area: 1480.0 ft2 Year: 2014 Photographs: Adrien Williams, David Dworkind From the architect. Having bought a beautiful plot of wooded land in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, the client dreamt of building a country house that would be in perfect symbiosis with its natural environment. This rugged, sloped site came to a natural plateau just below its highest point, becoming the perfect location to erect the house. The house is characterized by two stacked volumes; a wooden clad volume anchored into the mountain supports a cantilevering ground floor volume above. The Observatories: Micro Artist Residence Officially Opens in the UK. Nearly eight months ago, a team of four design students won a competition to design an artist’s residence in the south-western countryside of the UK.
Now, Charlotte Knight, Mina Gospavic, Ross Galtress, and Lauren Shevills (in collaboration with artist Edward Crumpton) have seen their design, “The Observatories,” realized. Conceived as two rotating structures that house a studio and living quarters, The Observatories will be moved to four different sites over the course of two years. During this time, they’ll take in twelve artists, each for two-month residencies. The Observatories were submitted as a proposal for a competition held by SPUD (Space Placemaking and Urban Design), who have now collaborated with the designers to construct the project. The residencies were also supported by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. The residency program is divided into a “workshop” and “study.”
The design team describes their work as “two volumetric beacons which sit lightly within the landscape.” Afsharian’s House / ReNa Design. Santa Monica Canyon Residence on Architizer.
