By creating a wind-driven kinetic facade on the the blank wall of the Randal Museum in San Francisco, Charles Sowers Studios sought to give it shape and form. Windswept is a scientific observational instrument that consists of 612 freely-rotating directional arrows. Each arrow acts as a discrete data point, visually revealing the complex and ever-changing ways the wind interacts with the building and its surrounding environment. The design studio spent over a year and a half designing and testing wind arrow designs, which are made of brake-formed anodized aluminum. The installation itself is 20′ high x 35′ long.

Pasel, F. Künzel Project year: 2011 Photographs: Marcel van der Burg V35K18 residence is located on the southern corner of an urban block comprising 18 utterly different houses. Due to its distinct design, clear materialisation and dark color the compact building forms a dominant ‘corner stone’ within the existing urban fabric. All architectural details are subordinate to this principle. Tetra Shed / Innovation Imperative. Tetra Shed is inspired by the growing need to accommodate the desires of more and more people wanting to establish a home office.
The architects at Innovation Imperative designed this garden office as a challenge to the notion that a home office is simply a converted room in one’s house. It is an alternative solution to the “cuboid offices” that have grown in popularity over the last few years. This concept and mock-up will be on display at Grand Designs Live London between May 5th and May 13th. The Spare Room - Hollywood. Josefine/Roxy Club - Savassi, Belo Horizonte - Brazil. Brazilian architect Fred Mafra, no novice to night club design, was given the unusual opportunity to redesign his earlier work, the night club Josefine/Roxy.
Since 2007, the club has been a strong player in Savassi, the night life area of Belo Horizonte, the capital of and largest city in the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. The 955m² space has two dance floors, three bars, plus four VIP areas that can be combined into one larger VIP space. In addition, it has two lounges and smoking areas with a retractable roof. Crafty Cantilever: Shingled Beach Home Adds Loft on Stilts. Styled a little like a wood-shingled cottage or chalet, the detailing of this domicile is not particularly bold – where it ceases to be modest is in the way it reaches for the sky.
This lofted second-story bedroom is, in fact, an addition by Roger Marvel Architects, as are a series of trellises, a poo. and a jacuzzi below. While some situations – such as public buildings – call for honesty with respect to old and new, a different tactic is taken here: or rather, the difference is at least more subtle such that the entire result remains relatively unpretentious. By a similar token, the new guest house has a overhanging wood roof and shingled sides, but is cut by an odd-angled piece of glass that makes it clear (no pun intended) this space is not part of the original design. Old Church Converted into a Modern Bookstore. We've seen some breathtaking libraries in the past and this bookstore is no exception when it comes to innovative design.
One branch of the popular Dutch bookstore chain Selexyz can be found right inside of a 13th century Dominican church in Maastricht, Holland. The project known as Selexyz Dominicanen Maastricht, designed by architecture firm Merkx + Girod, exemplifies a brilliant union between the opposing aesthetics. The space maintains the church's architectural structure and definitive design attributes while inviting the contemporary stylings of a modern bookstore. Built in 1294, the cathedral features large open spaces boasting three-story bookshelves. Being that the church contains 1,200 square meters of shopping space with only 750 square meters of floor space, the architects decided to design vertically. Loosdrecht Island House, Netherlands.

Wielokrotnie widziałem mieszkania które choć duże metrażem wydawały się mikroskopijne - podzielone, na pokoje, pokoiki, korytarze i schowki miały służyć wielu rzeczą, ale tak naprawdę nie służyły niczemu.
