Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Growing Power, a Chicago-based urban agriculture organization, announced recently the formation of Farmers for Chicago, a program that will transform vacant south-side Chicago lots into productive urban farms.
The program will make available up to five acres of city-owned vacant lots for urban farming activity and “help expand the supply chain for local neighborhood-level food production and wholesale,” “improve community access to healthy food, help participants to supplement their incomes, and to foster workforce training.” Read more about Farmers for Chicago after the break. In a statement, Mayor Emanuel said the farm lots that this new initiative creates will help “stabilize” the surrounding communities and help relieve food desert-related issues. “Farmers for Chicago will give local residents a chance to not only learn how to grow food in their communities, but also build their own food enterprise.” UT Visual Arts Center / Lake.

The new entry and renovated spaces incorporate unique learning spaces and specialization opportunities. Googie Architecture - Part 1.
Raimund Abraham’s Final Work / Photographer Thomas Mayer. Raimund Abraham (1933-2010), who would have turned 79 today, was far from your typical architect.
A striking figure – usually sporting a black fedora, thick moustache, and cigar – Abraham was a radical thinker who believed passionately in the sacred importance of architecture. For Abraham, architecture existed just as legitimately in the mind as on the ground; as he put it: “I don’t need a building to validate my ideas.” In fact, many of his visionary drawings were exhibited as art, including in the MOMA. Although most of his designs were never actually built, those that were gained critical acclaim. He was best known for the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York City, a 24-story, “guillotine-like” building curiously squeezed onto a plot only 25 feet wide. To celebrate this great mind, we present you his final work, Musikerhaus (House for Music or Musician’s House), as photographed by Thomas Mayer. More photos & quotes, after the break…

Flashback: Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth / Tadao Ando. Architect: Tadao Ando Location: Fort Worth, Texas, United States Site Architect: Kendall-Heaton AssociatesLandscape Architect: SWA Group Structural Engineer: Thornton-Tomasetti/Ellisor-Tanner Engineers Contractor: Linbeck Construction Corp. Project Area: 10.96 acres Project Year: 2002 Photographs: Liao Yusheng “Space will only have a life when people enter it.
So the important role architecture can play, and that space plays within that architecture, is to encourage an interaction between people, between people and the ideas being presented in the paintings and sculpture, and most importantly between people themselves.” The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth exemplifies the work of Japanese architect Tadao Ando through it’s simple geometry, incorporation of the natural environment, and very minimal material selections.

Lake Austin Residence / Lake. The Colorado River, which dissects the city of Austin, is a precious resource that this house very much embraces. Located on a long narrow river side lot, the house is conceived as a “floating fishing village” on the edge of a man made canal, where a collection of small gabled buildings and boardwalks mask the line between land and water.

HWKN. Sliced Porosity Block - CapitaLand Raffles City. The Pierre. Vacker villa av Young & Young I Franklin, Michigan ligger villan här ovan. Jag vet rätt lite om den vackra villan men jag vet att den är ritad av Young & Young Architects och helt och hållet konstruerad av insulating concrete forms, som är frigolitformar fyllda med cement som både är starka och isolerar väl.
Young & Young Architects jobbar med det de kallar “orcanic architecture”och är medlem av The U.S. Green Building Council så valet av ett energisnålt byggmaterial som insulating conrete forms känns rätt logiskt. AD Interviews / Gene Kohn.
