Snøhetta shortlisted for the design of 10 new acres of parkland in San Francisco's Presidio The Presidio Trust, working with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service, has invited five design firms to develop conceptual design and programming for 10 acres of new parkland that will be created in the Presidio atop a dramatic bluff with panoramic Golden Gate views. The design opportunity came about as the result of the demolition of the 75-year-old freeway leading to the Golden Gate Bridge, which is being replaced by the Presidio Parkway, a new at-grade tunnel-covered roadway that will connect the two most expansive public spaces in the Presidio: the historic Main Post and the bay front at Crissy Field. The project also includes three acres of newly designed parklands adjacent to the Crissy Field Center, including facilities and grounds for youth programs offered by the Trust, Conservancy, and National Park Service.

Canadian Competitions Catalogue / Catalogue des Concours Canadiens "The link between earth and sky is at the image of the one that links childhood, through memory and knowledge, to an infinite world of insight and communication." (Gilles Saucier) The Saucier-Perrotte project suggests a site development in harmony with the Parc de la Cité's natural vegetation, by adding a rectangular north-south oriented building almost entirely concealed by the existing flora. The denuded and urban esthetical expression of this architecture creates a contrast with the rustic and natural character of the immediate environment. The arrival is characterized by a large and central public place, connecting the library to the various outdoor areas (parks, pedestrian walkway, bicycle paths, bus stops and parking areas) which are distinguished by the materiality of their grounds. The entrance of the library is indicated by a square unfolding through these spaces in order to lead the users to the building.

The house is designed as a vertical garden giving space to flora and fauna to grow in a densly urbanised area. Closed private spaces contrast with open collective spaces, that seem to have been ‘carved out’ from the solid volume as a continous transparent void. The Cornell Note Method The Cornell Note Method has been covered pretty extensively across the internet, but as your “one stop shop” for maximizing (hacking) your college experience, we’re obligated to cover it. Since adopting Cornell notes this semester, processing and reviewing my lecture notes has become a systematized and painless task. Developped in the 1950’s by Walter Pauk, author of How to Study in College, the Cornell Note Method splits an ordinary piece of paper into 3 sections; notes, main points and summary.

Louisiana State Museum LOCATION: St. Amant, Louisiana AREA: 17,000 Square Feet CONSTRUCTION COST: $2.5 Million COMPLETION: 2004 The design of the Holy Rosary Complex – comprised of an oratory, administrative building, and religious education building – for a rural Catholic Parish in South Louisiana, is an honest exploration of form, function, light and materials that results in an engaging and profound study in sacred space. Neither opulent nor austere, Holy Rosary Chapel presents a thoughtful meditation on sacred spaces and the spatial embodiment of spiritual experience. The masterplan for the rural campus creates a strong sense of place and draws a distinction between the program’s sacred and secular components. Secular components of the campus take form as linear or “edge” buildings – an administrative block, two linear classroom bars, a religious education building – which form the courtyard in which the oratory is located.

In an ordinary wooden architecture, lumber is effectively differentiated according to functions in various localities precisely because it is so versatile. Columns, beams, foundations, exterior walls, interior walls, ceilings, floorings, insulations, furnishings, stairs, window frames, meaning all.
