Dlatego warto zadbać o to, aby był on nie tylko ekologiczny, ale i ekonomiczny w eksploatacji. Warunki te spełniają domy energooszczędne i pasywne. fot. Nie każdy dom energooszczędny jest pasywny, ale każdy pasywny jest energooszczędny. Ważny jest początek Idea energooszczędności musi być zawarta już na etapie planów budynku. Forma i strony świata Aby wykorzystać jak najwięcej ciepła słonecznego, przenikającego przez okna, istotne jest właściwie usytuowanie domu na działce. Kolejna kwestia to podział przestrzeni mieszkalnej na strefy o zróżnicowanym zapotrzebowaniu na ciepło. Zapotrzebowanie na energię „Zwykłe” domy pożerają ok. 120 kWh/m² energii w ciągu roku. Różnice i podobieństwa Do budowy domu pasywnego i energooszczędnego wykorzystuje się materiały bardzo wysokiej jakości i o doskonałych współczynnikach przenikania ciepła.

"Who would want to be an architect?" the Times asks. In answering that question, the article focuses more or less entirely on London's Bartlett School of Architecture—whose students have been producing some amazing work lately, work that I have often posted about here on BLDGBLOG. Here, here, here, and here, for instance. But, the article claims, "Leave the future to Bartlett students and we’ll all be living in car-crash spaces that occasionally come into focus as giant mechanised spindly crustacea." [Image: "Oops" by C. Reading such things easily prompts the familiar zing of schadenfreude—but it also seems totally inaccurate. I'm reminded here of Lebbeus Woods's recent short essay on the work of Rem Koolhaas: there was "another Rem," Lebbeus writes. This project reminds us that there was once a Rem Koolhaas quite different from the corporate starchitect we see today. [Image: From Rem Koolhaas's unbuilt proposal for the Parc de la Villette in Paris, via Lebbeus Woods]. And on we go...

The BLDGBLOG Book (9780811866446): Geoff Manaugh Lace & Tea Mysterious Chinese Tunnels [Image: The brick-arched entryway to a "mysterious Chinese tunnel" in the Pacific Northwest (via)]. Subterranean space here clearly exists within an interesting overlap of projections: fantasies of race, exoticism, and simply subconscious fear of the underworld. White Europeans had expanded west all the way to the Pacific Ocean – only to find themselves standing in a swamp, on earthquake-prone ground, with a "mysterious" race of Chinese dock workers tunneling toward them through the earth, looking for victims... It's like a geography purpose-built for H.P. Lovecraft, or something straight out of the work of Jeff VanderMeer: down in the foundations of your city is a mysterious network of rooms, excavated by another race, through which unidentified strangers move at night, threatening to abduct you. It's urban historical anthropology by way of Jean Cocteau – or Sigmund Freud. [Image: Another "mysterious Chinese tunnel" in the Pacific Northwest (via)]. [Image: Photo by Michael Cook.
Algarrobos House by Daniel Moreno Flores This extraordinary moderm house design by Daniel Moreno Flores and José Maria Saez Vaquero Arquitectura is located in Puembo, Ecuador. The property was built in 2011. Enjoy the beauty! Eight identical steel members, 18 meters long, placed along the x y z axis, confine the space for the house and at the same time open it as they project in different directions. They are abstract beams that are oriented looking for their relationship with the surroundings. This structure grants a necessary intermediation between landscape and individual: in its long dimension it generates the large cantilevers towards the ravine or the masts that mark the presence of the house, in its short dimension two beams are equivalent to one usable height. Supported by the steel structure, a subsystem of wooden members completes the spatial definition, diluting by repetition and consistency its condition of enclosure. Glass planes protect the wood and complete the enclosure system. System Visit Daniel Moreno Flores
Berthier's Door [Image: From Les spécialistes by Julien Berthier and Simon Boudvin]. Back in 2006, early on a Saturday morning, artists Julien Berthier and Simon Boudvin installed a new door in the city of Paris—but it was a fake door, leading nowhere, on an otherwise empty wall in the 3rd arrondissement. The project was called Les spécialistes. "The façade, using the local architectural codes, occupies 10 cm of public space," Berthier explains, "and was mounted and glued on in thirty minutes." [Images: From Les spécialistes]. Unbelievably, Berthier adds, "Almost 4 years later, the address still exists. [Image: Les spécialistes seen in 2009; its co-creator, Julien Berthier, has a flair for secret doors]. In a way, I'm reminded of an article published last month in New York magazine called "There’s a Brownstone in Brooklyn With a Secret Passage to the Subway." But, of course, these sorts of "fake" spaces are not uncommon at all. [Image: Berthier's Door—near 1 Rue Chapon—visible on Google Street View].
Khun Rirkrit Tiravanija’s House “The Khooll” is a digital design & life style magazine. Lifestyle magazine is an umbrella term for popular magazines concerned with lifestyle. There is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes a lifestyle magazine. It is often used to encompass a number of men's, women's magazines and magazines about design, health and fitness, tourism, leisure, fashion, decorating, or culture. The concept is chiefly used in reference to a magazine's tone. So here we go, this is our take on it… Enjoy Responsibly. Former "Seasteaders" Come Ashore To Start Libertarian Utopias In Honduran Jungle The seasteader-in-chief is headed ashore. Patri Friedman (that’s Milton Friedman's grandson to you), who stepped down as the chief executive of the Peter Thiel-backed Seasteading Institute in August, has resurfaced as the CEO of a new for-profit enterprise named Future Cities Development Inc., which aims to create new cities from scratch (on land this time) governed by "cutting-edge legal systems." The startup may have found its first taker in Honduras, whose government amended its constitution in January to permit the creation of special autonomous zones exempt from local and federal laws. Future Cities has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to build a city in one such zone starting next year. Seasteading, i.e. the creation of sovereign nations floating offshore, is enshrined in libertarian thought as an end-run around the constraints of stodgy nation-states. Instead of seasteading, Future Cities is modeling itself on “charter cities.”
