Rather than struggle with the inescapable acoustic superiority of this traditional shape, the Casa da Musica attempts to reinvigorate the traditional concert hall in another way: by redefining the relationship between the hallowed interior and the general public outside. The Casa da Musica, the new home of the National Orchestra of Porto, stands on a new public square in the historic Rotunda da Boavista. It has a distinctive faceted form, made of white concrete, which remains solid and believable in an age of too many icons. Inside, the elevated 1,300-seat (shoe box-shaped) Grand Auditorium has corrugated glass facades at either end that open the hall to the city and offer Porto itself as a dramatic backdrop for performances.
Tutorial12 : The Attractor Concept Interior (image breakdown) Every now and then we get commissioned by our clients to create visuals for their projects that are in a very initial design stage, where there would be not only no 3D models supplied, (not even basic ones), but what is even more striking but as well more challenging and exciting – they might not even have proper architectural drawings (plans, elevations,etc.) yet produced, so constructing a 3D model would be a tedious and time consuming process. So, as it is the case with this current example- a visual we’ve completed recently for Gensler, all we got from them as a brief was only this sketch: And if it is a nicely constructed one – that is, in the right proportions, scale and perspective, then what we would do is grab it and throw it straight into Photoshop where, overlaying pieces of photography and using matte painting /digital paining techniques, we would be able to come up with results similar to the one you see below: You can watch the quick breakdown video here: Thanks for watching!
Batlle i Roig Arquitectes — Linear park on the Riera De Sant Climent. Viladecans © Jordi Surroca . Published on February 21, 2012. The expansion of Viladecans, as the vast majority of towns located on the left riverbank of the River Llobregat (Sant Vicenç, Santa Coloma de Cervello, Sant Boi, Gavá, Castelldefels, etc.), has not only been hampered due to the riverbeds (rieras), but also has ignored them until they became outdoor sewers where waste waters were discharged and demolition debris was accumulated. The recovery project for the Riera de Sant Climent aimed to consider the riverbed as a natural corridor that would work as a link between the agricultural park and the mountain across the town. This could turn the “riera” into an urban park, recovering its native vegetation and turning the covered sections into wooded promenades. La Marina Park emerges as the culmination of the Riera de Sant Climent’s green corridor. © Batlle i Roig Arquitectes .
TIBÁ - Tecnología Intuitiva y Bio-Arquitectura es un lugar de encuentros, fundado en 1987 por Rose y Johan van Lengen para difundir un conocimiento más profundo de cómo interpretamos nuestro medio ambiente y la realización de una conciencia ambiental más plena. Por medio de la integración del arte y ciencia, intuición y lógica, razón y sentimientos, la comunicación será enriquecida. A cada persona se le da la posibilidad de intercambiar sus propias experiencias, donde ahora se hace parte de una verdadera colectividad, usando comunicación y creatividad en grupo. TIBÁ ofrece asesoría en toda la extensión de sus programas, atendiendo comunidades y organizaciones, por ejemplo, en las áreas de bio-arquitectura y en el planeamiento de eco-posadas. Investiga y se desarrollan prototipos de viviendas. Nuestro equipo está disponible para realizar talleres y cursos en otros locales, así como ya se han presentado seminarios en otros países de América Latina, Europa e India.
Offices We have yet to experience anything even closely equal to our incredible six days at Castello di Reschio in Umbria. So it should not have come as a surprise to us that their office building would turn out to be stunning as well. But it just feels somehow unfair that some people really do get to call this restored 1940s tobacco processing factory as their everyday office. Late last summer, Count Benedikt Bolza, the talented managing director and chief architect of the Castello di Reschio estate, and his team finished the restoration of the estate’s tobacco factory building so that the estate offices, design studio, workshops and exhibitions could move in. Heritage and history are exquisitely balanced with contemporary style and cool elegance, yet the space does not feel pretentious or contrived. Part of the reason for this is that Bolza left several key elements of the industrial building intact.
Madrid es Madrid » Parque de La Gavia - Toyo Ito Parque de La Gavia - Toyo Ito La distribución prevé una zona pantanosa en el centro y un valle con un bosque y, alrededor de sus estructuras, pequeñas edificaciones y caminos. El agua de la planta depuradora de la Gavia será bombeada a un primer nivel más elevado de mesetas donde viajará a través de canales, compuertas, bancos de grava y arena, para bajar a los valles donde es recogida en pequeños depósitos. El agua tendrá en este punto la pureza suficiente para la mayoría de los usos, se llevará después a la meseta de árboles situada en una cota inferior. Seis áreas temáticas La primera zona, la denominada ‘Watertree’, se construirá un Árbol de Agua, que es un prototipo experimental en el que el ciclo del agua se completa con la realización del Estanque de la Gavia, en la cabecera del arroyo, que funcionará como un depósito regulador del Árbol de Agua.

Dalian Planning Museum / 10 Design The design for the new Dalian Planning Museum by 10 Design in Dalian, China is envisioned to become a new civic sculpture at the heart of the city’s main governmental district. The building is part of the first steps made by the Planning Bureau to promote landmark architecture in Dalian with an additional seven municipal civil projects, including a library, scientific center, urban planning exhibition, museum, and teenage activity center. The Planning Building will serve as a modern, first-class venue for offices and exhibitions, and more importantly, an addition of cultural engagement for the public within the city. The museum is also designed to be an example of technological innovation and sustainable practices. Follow us after the break to read about the building’s advanced technology. Project Description from the Architect: The form of the building takes inspiration from the nautical influences and seeks to become a symbol of technological progress and green evolution. Diagram 04.
Skanska Bridging Prague Competition Winners Participants in the Skanska Bridging Prague competition were asked to develop a new Vision Plan for the section of the riverfront from Libeňsk (Bridge) to the north to Železniční (Railway Bridge) in Smíchov to the south. The goal was to create a unified experience, linking cultural, recreational, ecological, historical and economic opportunities. They were also asked to design an intervention that will become a premiere destination along the river Vltava. The first prize winning proposal by Pete North focuses on strengthening the natural characteristics of places at the riverside, where it is consistent and feasible. It aims to create a synergy between park localities and the river, connected into a consequent chain of continuous spaces. More images and winning proposals after the break. 1st prize: Peter North The design builds almost nothing new, but tries to make the relaxing character of the riverfront stronger – and to cope with future floods in a more natural way.

Urban Vertical Farming: Generative System for a Vegetable Growing Infrastructure The population of the world is expected to double by 2050. This fact does not only raise interrogations for the future of food production and the increasing necessity of land cultivation, it also creates concerns towards endangering the future of natural resources and biodiversity. Today, food is longer being produced where it is being consumed. Vegetables sometimes travel to other continents to be processed or even simply packed before returning for consumption. The transport infrastructure for refrigerated food products, besides being costly, is strongly energy un-efficient and is an important contribution to global warming. Can agriculture make its way into the city? Agriculture 2.0 designed by Appareil attempts to propose an answer to these questions. It is defined as a parametric model which necessitates three pieces of information as inputs to produce the local design for the vertical infrastructure: -> EVOLO SKYSCRAPERS 2 - Limited Edition Book
