1969 The Mountain City [Hans Peter Schlosser] 969years. Bernard Khoury / DW5. AD Classics: Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library / Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill. Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library is the largest building in the world dedicated to the containment and preservation of rare books, manuscripts, and documents.
It was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill and is located in New Haven, Connecticut. Prior to the completion of this project, Yale University placed its rare books on special shelving in Dwight Hall, which was the Old Library in the late 19th century. In 1930 these special books were relocated to Rare Book Room collection in the Sterling Memorial Library. The Beinecke library was a gift from the Beinecke family, and since 1963 has accomodated six major collections in its rare and marvelous structure that coincides with the literary gems it stores, including those from the Rare Book Room. More information and images of the library after the break. The beauty of the library is enhanced by the large open plaza in which it is located.

I combed the interweb yesterday for images and turned up with nothing. I tried again today and bingo! ARTiT has hooked us up with a first look. If you are not familiar with Junya Ishigami, check out my feature on Japanese contemporary architects I did back in 2008 where I talked about his work “Kait Kobo.” Junya Ishigami, along with designers such as Nosigner, is part of a school of young designers who got their start studying under acclaimed architect Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA.

Published on March 30, 2012. Kazuyo Sejima Associates. Shibaura Building,Tokyo. Tokyo's vertical thresholds #1: Kazuyo Sejima. X–raying the everyday A good part of the latest projects by Kazuyo Sejima and her followers might possibly be seen as variations on Mies's principle of the plan libre, taken in terms of an open space free from internal structural hindrances.
The space itself is emphasised by the transparency of the external walls and the positioning of all vertical supports around the building'speriphery, reducing their structural cross-section to the absolute minimum. Architecture "made in Japan" has never forgotten to copy Mies. One of many such instances is the replica of the Barcelona Pavilion designed by Yoshio Taniguchi as the entrance to the Kyoto National Museum. This premise is not intended as an introduction to a discussion about style, but rather serves as a useful springboard for evaluating three recent buildings constructed in Tokyo.
Åre Solbringen by Waldemarson Berglund. Slideshow: Swedish architects Waldemarson Berglund were inspired by the slopes of a nearby ski resort to create these three slanted timber cabins in north Sweden.
Although they look like they’ve been tipped upwards by accident, the three Åre Solbringen residences were actually designed to follow the slopes of their hillside site and have level floors inside. Only the perpendicular windows that intermittently puncture the wooden facade give any indication that the buildings are intentionally sloped. Staircases spanning the length of each building link the five tiered floors inside, connecting bedrooms, a bathroom and a sauna on the upper storeys with a kitchen, living room and outdoor terrace on the levels below. Une bataille. La reconnaissance de l’architecture moderne comme patrimoine est toujours délicate.
La nécessite de conservation, de préservation de bâtiments remarquable de la période des années 30 au milieu des années 1970 se heurte aux sempiternels arguments de laideur, de manque de noblesse, de réalisation en béton… Certains diffusent cette esthétique moderne, cette cause, en tâchant de réhabiliter voire de sauvegarder ces architectures modernes. C’est le cas des blogs de David Liaudet, Architectures de cartes postales ou encore du tumblr Fuck Yeah Brutalism que je vous invite à consulter régulièrement. Revenons au combat qui nous intéresse ici.

Architects: Kieran Donnellan, Darragh Breathnach and EASA PArticipants Location: Cadiz, Spain Project Year: 2011 Project Area: 35 sqm Photographs: Courtesy of Avanzada Workshop Team This temporary exhibition pavilion was built as part of the student event EASA, European Architecture Students Assembly, in Cadiz, Spain, during a two week period in late July 2011 by a team of 29 students.
This team was led by tutors Kieran Donnellan and Darragh Breathnach. The concept for the pavilion was inspired by the maritime history of Cadiz, and in particular, the Galleon sailing vessel. Most people enjoying a stroll trough Cadiz harbor would not be aware of the historical significance of the area: first that it was used as a launching pad for the Spanish colonization of the America’s; and second that the type of ship needed for the task was built on the very ground that they are walking on. Stair House / y+Mdo. The owners of the Stair House are are a young couple, both teachers, with two young children.
When they hired architects y+Mdo to design their dream home, they had three key themes in mind; A house that could protect their privacy, provided warm and bright space, and could also encourage the gathering of people as they love their students visiting them.

At the project’s site – Suoi Re village, Cu Yen commune, Luong Son district, Hoa Binh province, all the year round, most villagers have to travel to town to earn their living.
Those who stay stick to their farming job to survive. The struggle for a better life makes them exhausted. They don’t have any time to care about education or the cultural and spiritual enrichment of their own as well as of their children. Besides, the increase gap between urban and rural areas due to the urbanization and the economic development has made the social relationship increasingly loose and be in danger of disintegration.

The Indicator: Terra Vague. Sustainability and Form have dominated architectural discourse, trapping the discipline between utopian play-acting—promising what it cannot deliver—and computerized “gaming” of design extremism.” – Mark Jarzombek, “ECO-Pop” in Cornell Journal of Architecture 8:RE, January 2011.
In what he calls ECO-POP, Mark Jarzombek, associate dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT (i.e. someone with credentials), draws attention to how sustainability is deployed as an ideology and visual trope more than as a repertoire of achievable, well-thought-out strategies. This is my unabashedly biased interpretation of his manifesto-like article—in fact, let’s just call it a manifesto. Like nature or culture, he explains, sustainability exists as a sort of terra vague (my term). The Indicator: Terra Vague - Screen shot 2011-07-21 at 4.45.23 PM (152795) – ArchDaily.
