Exploring the Secret River Flowing Beneath London. Alejandro Aravena. ELEMENTAL is a for profit company with social interest, whose shareholders are the Universidad Católica de Chile, COPEC (Chilean Oil Company) and the Elemental founders.
Its field of action is the city: the development of housing, public space, infrastructure and transportation projects that can perform as an effective and efficient upgrade in the quality of life of the poor. ELEMENTAL operates in contexts of scarce resources, using the city as a source of equality, and moreover, as a shortcut to correct inequalities. When Elemental began in Harvard University in 2000, social housing was associated with a lack of economic and professional resources that had generated a lack of options for poor families.
Elemental wanted to change this negative association, using professional skills to work with social housing. SCALE. SPEED. SCALE. SPEED. Architecture: Vision.

Tournée architecturale - Douglas Cardinal. L'architecte -DOUGLAS CARDINAL Le choix de Cardinal fut accueilli avec un certain étonnement dans le monde de l'architecture.
Installé à Edmonton et encore peu réputé à l'échelle nationale, Douglas Cardinal s'était fait connaître auparavant surtout dans sa province natale de l'Alberta. Dès cette époque pourtant, il s'était démarqué par son style très personnel, et de nombreux ouvrages sur l'architecture moderne avaient reconnu l'importance de ses œuvres albertaines. Parmi celles-ci, la St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, commencée en 1967 à Red Deer, ville où Cardinal passa son enfance, fut la première à attirer l'attention. Cardinal s'inspire de la nature. . « Au lieu de voir le musée comme un problème de sculpture, au lieu de recenser les formes historiques pour en tirer un vocabulaire de solutions, je préfère aller marcher dans la nature, observer comment elle résout ses problèmes et m'en inspirer dans mon travail.

A utopia city for skateboarders would mean that a skateable path, like a ribbon connecting everything together, links each building in an unending ability to keep in motion on your board. A full-scale, 753.5-square foot version of this original idea and vision created by Pierre-André Senizergues and designed by artist, Gil Le Bon Delapointe will be on display for people to experience.
The PAS House production will be supervised by Francois Perrin, an architect based in Los Angeles, California. The Museum of Copying by FAT at Venice Architecture Biennale 2012. London studio FAT will create an exhibition dedicated to architectural copying inside a 5-metre-high model of Palladio's Villa Rotunda for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2012 next week.
A CNC-cut mould will form one quarter of the historic symmetrical building, while a second will be a spray-foam cast taken from inside it. The two quarters will be arranged opposite one another to create the structure, named the Museum of Copying. "There is a history of copies of the Villa Rotunda that have been important staging posts for architectural culture," explains FAT director Sam Jacob. CRAterre. Synaptic Stimuli. Seisakusho Co., Ltd.

I devote this project to my cousin Antonello Pergola, to his tenacity and spirit. At the end of the day, what is basket if not the continuous attempt to fill a gap for an instant? Anyone can contribute to the work by sending a photo to stefanoboring@gmail.com, adding the name of the city where the photo was shot and the name of the person that shot it.
