Visite | La 'maniera' de Frédéric Didier Un architecte du patrimoine, ACMH de surcroît, ne pourrait-il pas faire œuvre contemporaine ? Manual for N55 SPACEFRAME Introduction: The N55 SPACEFRAME is a low-cost, movable lightweight construction that can easily be transformed. It is dimensioned as a living unit for 3-4 persons and demands practically no maintenance. The construction can be erected by anybody in a short time.

The Zachary House / Stephen Atkinson Architecture The story of the Zachary House, designed by Stephen Atkinson Architecture, is one of idealism of the profession and faith to the design. In three iterations, the house that was originally designed for Atkinson’s own parents went from being the incarnation of the architect’s own ideal image, revered by both modernists and traditionalists, to a highly protected “manuscript” of an architectural vision. The house was originally built in the 90′s in Zachary, Louisiana, where it gained a substantial amount of attention from other residents and the media for its blend of the “dog trot” and “shotgun” style homes. The house, now in its third life, was built under specific conditions that maintained every element of its distinctive design. Join us after the break to find out more. The Zachary House has a somewhat convoluted history. The Zachary House has distinctive elements. Its new location, with all of its pieces intact, is in Ramseur, North Carolina.
Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture Living and working in under 500 square feet, the client had been pushing the limits of what his apartment, in its current configuration, would accommodate. He’d purchased the studio back in 1999, before the boom of the last decade, and wasn’t anxious to move. But between his office needs and his many toys and quirky art pieces, the apartment was jam-packed and nothing had a place. After walking the space with the client, observing and listening, JPDA established some clear design objectives for the remodel. The first was to get rid of the clutter. This meant storage - and lots of it. Related News Articles East Village Studio featured in the latest issue of BOB.
Standard Architecture's Garden-Wrapped Salford Meadows Bridge Changes With the Seasons Los Angeles-based Standard Architecture just unveiled plans for a flourishing garden bridge near the Crescent-Oldfield Road intersection in Salford, UK. The timber-clad pedestrian bridge is wrapped in a lattice shell tunnel which acts as a support structure for vegetation. The architects characterized the transition from an urban area to the natural landscape by designing the bridge as a living organism that changes appearance with the seasons. The bridge slopes from the Crescent to the Meadow by following the topography of the area and serving as its natural extension. The bridge curves and bends to bring the adjacent bus top and Old Pint Pot closer to the Meadows entrance and acts as the key element of the Middlewood loop link. + Standard Architecture + Salford Meadows Bridge Competition
