Art615, a pavilion by Aalborg University students. More images, a video, and the students’ description after the break. Intense work of 43 students at the Department of Architecture & Design, Aalborg University (Denmark), creates the framework for the workshop ‘Social Technologies’. The workshop explores the basic exercise in the development of dynamic architectural concepts and computer-generated geometry. The vision was to challenge the complex programs of the urban field and to explore the inherent potentials of new digital tools. Working with two main focus areas, the workshop simultaneously aimed at developing advanced spatial systems for organizing and articulating new social complexities, and at utilizing and adapting different advanced digital design methods for exploring various principles of form generation and advanced production.

After three weeks of intense work, seven individual projects were selected among 43. Originally Art615 is meant as an art pavilion for a crime-related park in Aalborg, Denmark. The Termite Pavilion at Pestival. A solid timber pavilion inspired by Namibian termite mounds is installed outside the Royal Festval Hall in London as part of insect-inspired festival Pestival. The installation represents a 6m³ section of a termite mound, scaled up fifteen times. It features sound recordings from inside a termite mound and lighting that dims and brightens to represent breathing. Called The Termite Pavilion, the project is a collaboration between Softroom Architects, Freeform Engineering, Atelier One, sound recording specialist Chris Watson and designers Haberdasherylondon. It will remain in place until tomorrow, Sunday 6 September. Photographs are by Joseph Burns. Here's some more information from Pestival: The Termite Pavilion is a six square metre walk-in structure inspired by the inside of a Namibian termite mound, and will allow Pestival goers a unique insight into these extraordinary organic forms.

Tomas Loewy / cool.pool.media | Art Basel 2010 - The Great Vodka River. Evolver. 17 / 10 / 2009 / Архитектура / На всемирно известном швейцарском курорте Церматт, рядом с озером Стелли на склоне горы Маттернхорн, вырос удивительный архитектурный артефакт. «Эвольвер» (Evolver) — творение рук двух студентов из «Alice», студии при архитектурной школе (ENAC/SAR/IA) Федерального политехнического института Лозанны (EPFL), которая была основана в октябре 2006 года и предлагает экспериментальный подход к обучению дизайна в архитектуре.

Строение из 24 деревянных элементов, последовательно соединённых в спиралевидную конструкцию, представляет собой своеобразную смотровую площадку. Установленное на высоте 2,536 метров, оно даёт возможность обозреть всё великолепие южной части швейцарских Альп. Каждый, кто заглянет в середину этой постройки, сможет совершить недолгое, но увлекательное путешествие по её тенистому коридору. Проект был реализован при поддержке Фестиваля Церматта (The Zermatt Festival), в 2009 году проходившего с 4 по 20 сентября. Сайт Alice. [C]space - DRL10 Pavilion. Flockr Pavilion / SO-IL. Get It Louder, an acclaimed biannual media and arts festival sponsored by Modern Media of China, features a series of lectures, screenings and exhibitions by over one hundred Chinese and foreign designers, artists, writers and filmmakers.

Organized by an international team including Chinese curator and writer Ou Ning and design writer Aric Chen, this year’s theme “SHARISM” focuses on the relationship between public and private realms in the digital age. SO-IL was commissioned to design Get It Louder’s main pavilion, which serves as a central hub for the event and houses many of the festival’s activities. SO – IL conceived the “Flockr” pavilion as a structure that responds to its environment while also creating a sense of place through its basic form. Covered with thousands of tinted mirrored panels, the skin reflects its surroundings and makes the changing contexts of this temporary and mobile installation—the cityscapes of Beijing and Shanghai— an integral part of its expression. B(h)uis / Hoogte Twee Architecten. Netherlands-based Hoogte Twee Architecten shared with us their project B(h)uis, a small pavilion built with PVC tubes.

More images and architect’s description after the break. “Through the centuries architects have used small construction works to experiment with spaces of limited form, scale and extent, but also to experiment with material and details. As there’s a lack of well-equipped research laboratories, the research of material by architects focuses on potentials of existing (construction-) products in which mainly is sought for possibilities of improper use of materials.

Our temporary residence is such an experiment. The material is researched by its spatial characteristics and escapes its standard application. By parallel stacking of the tubes as building stones a mass has been created which represents itself closed from four sides, but which is transparent, seen from the head sides.

Архиновости » Частичное открытие павильонов Бёрнхэм (Burnham Pavilions) в парке Миллениум (Millennium Park). Чикаго, Америка. - журнал об архитектуре и дизайне интерьеров.

Два павильона, которые должны стать данью памяти Дэниэлю Бёрнхэму (Daniel Burnham), который отметит свою 100-летнюю годовщину, открылись в парке Миллениум (Millennium Park) в Чикаго. Дизайнеры – две современные легенды: Бен ван Беркель (Ben van Berkel) и Заха Хадид (Zaha Hadid). Хотя, павильон Заха Хадид (Zaha Hadid) был незавершен, в следствие каких-то причин, открытие его даже в полувиде получило хорошую критику: “Алюминиевая конструкция павильона завораживает, толпе он очень понравился”, – сказала Салли Джейнс (Sallie Gaines), пресс-секретарь мероприятия.

Для того, чтобы получить максимальные впечатления, вам нужно очень быстро пройти по павильону – и вообще, очень быстро до него дойти. Через неделю структуру затянут тентом, до официального открытия поздним летом – тогда там разместится аудио- и видео-инсталляция Томаса Грэя (Thomas Gray), показывающую развитие Чикаго, из прошлого в будущее.

NAMELESS, a New York-based practice shared with us their project ‘Playcloud’, for which they won the 2010 BSA Unbuilt Architecture Awards for Art Pavilion. See more images and architect’s description after the break. Playcloud explores the narrative potential of a pneumatic and fabric structure. We are not only looking for the utopian implications of the pavilion, but also investing in a practical and sustainable solution for City of Dreams Pavilion. The project starts from the temporary pavilion’s site-specific characteristics. Governors Island, which is 800 yards away from Manhattan, had been closed to the public until 2004.

Additionally, it has a flat landscape without monuments, such as the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island. To overcome the public’s low awareness of the island, we propose that an artificial cloud pavilion be built. PLAYFULNESS: Playcloud aims to interact with people. LIGHTNESS: PlayCloud is architecture of air consisting of a thin skin. The London Festival of Architecture. By Al Hilal on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 :: Filed Under: Uncategorized Foster+Partners had an idea to let the audience involving the architecture during the London Festival of Architecture.

They built a conical structure, interwoven with fabric panels hand-printed by the public. Alistair Lenczner of Foster + Partners said: “The day was a lot of fun for all involved and a real success. The London Festival of Architecture is a great opportunity to bring architecture to a wide audience. Our installation was designed as a celebration of the collaborations between people that create architecture, and in this case the public were very much part of that process. Read. Archdaily. The project transforms a picturesque urban pond from the 19th century into an ecological habitat buzzing with life. With the design’s improvements to water quality, hydrology, landscape, accessibility, and shelter, the site is able to function as an outdoor classroom in which the co-existence of natural and urban surroundings is demonstrated. Architect: Client: Project Area: Project Year: Photographs: A new boardwalk circumscribing the pond passes through various educational zones that explicate the different animals, plants, and habitat found in each.

Burnham Pavilion / Zaha Hadid. The figure of Daniel Burnham has been very important for the city of Chicago as we currently know it, as he was one of the authors of the Plan of Chicago, also known as the Burnham Plan, which reshaped Chicago’s central area starting in 1909. To celebrate the centennial of this plan several events have been held during this year, such as the Union Station 2020 competition and the Burnham Memorial competition. Also, two pavilions by UN Studio and Zaha Hadid have been temporally installed at the Millenium Park (read our previous article about this), hosting multimedia exhibits on the future of Chicago.

The pavilions will be opened to the public until Oct 31st, 2009. Zaha Hadid Architects´s pavilion merges new formal concepts with the memory of Burnham’s bold, historic urban planning. Superimpositions of spatial structures with hidden traces of Burnham’s Plan are overlaid and inscribed within the structure to create a dynamic form. Read Zaha´s statement on the design after the break: Honeycomb Retreat (Superblue.co.uk) March 23, 2008 A new addition to the Honeycomb range is the Honeycomb retreat. A new addition to the Honeycomb range is the Honeycomb retreat. This garden building was developed for a new house in Hampstead. The retreat uses the honeycomb panels on three sides and sits within a green oak deck. BOXEL / Students of Detmolder Schule. The experimental pavilion BOXEL was designed and realized by students of the architecture department during the last summer semester on the campus of the University of Applied Sciences in Detmold.

The expressive design by Henri Schweynoch, which succeeded in an impromptu competition, creates a generous spatial scenery for presentations, concerts, events and gatherings on the campus. More images and information after the break. Within the digital design course, led by Prof. Marco Hemmerling, the students were not only asked to design a summer pavilion but also to construct and realize the design as a mock-up in scale 1:1, using digital design and fabrication tools. Against this background the digital workflow including parameters of production, construction and material became key issues of the further process. The building shape is based on a minimal surface and consists of more than 2.000 beer boxes that are organized along the free form geometry.
