HELIX \ OSW-Open Source Workshop. Designed by OSW-Open Source Workshop for the 2014 Milan Design Week, HELIX is a diffuse furniture system that generates a continuous interior space by adapting simultaneously to any vertical and horizontal surface while defining an immersive spatial atmosphere.
Its form recalls a natural system that emerges from the structure beneath. courtesy OSW HELIX is modular and can be aggregated in different forms following the logic of spatial branching and growth. It can be placed in any private domestic space or in public indoor contexts. The modules can vary in size, color, use, and orientation. It is manufactured through iterative procedures guided by a 5-Axis robot able to carve out the modules from a solid mass of material.

In the third day of Architectural Geometry class, we’ve discussed about the regular tessellations, the famous triangle, hexagon and square tiles.
Homework was to develop a custom referential system based on regular tessellations. We used popular explications of Islamic Patterns as inspirational examples, however we developed our own reference systems and patterns.

This liberates us from classical understanding of pattern deformations that are enframed within regular polygons, mostly rectangles or hexagons. This was my first parametric patterning study we’ve conducted together with Birgül Çolakoğlu at Yıldız Technical University in 2008.
In this exercise, students are asked to develop a method to produce custom tessellations. Photos from Leonardo Nuevo Arenas's post in... - Leonardo Nuevo Arenas. Louis-Vuitton Foundation for Creation. Frank Gehry’s architecture has produced many well-known and iconic structures and his design for Louis Vuitton’s Foundation for Creation is no exception.
A project that has been in the works since October 2006 is now planned for completion by September 2014 and will be open to the public at that time. The amount of time taken to fully construct the structure is mainly due to finding a solution to forming the curving walls of the building and bizarre forms imagined by the famous architect. Courtesy of Frank Gehry The museum is located in the Sixteenth Arrondissement of Paris and is supposed to showcase art and France to the world along with house the contemporary art collection of LVMH mogul Bernard Arnaud.
Referred to as “a veritable ship amongst trees”, the design features a hovering glass carapace and various sails that part at various points to reveal concrete “icebergs” at the building’s core. Prishtina Central Mosque Competition Entry. Prishtina-based firm, Maden Group, unveiled its entry of the international architecture competition to design the Central Mosque of Prishtina in Kosovo.
More details about its entry is featured below. Project Description from Maden&Co: Orange Architects. Commissioned by the Lebanese development corporation Masharii, a new luxury residential tower on Plot 941 in Sin el Fil titled The Cube Building, has been designed by Orange Architects.
This firm, formed in 2010, is the result of a partnership between the Dutch architecture firms JSA, CIMKA and HofmanDujardin. They state that- Courtesy of Orange Architects. Za Koenji Public Theatre. Black box meets tent-made-rigid.
The facade and volume of the Za Koenji Public Theatre, located in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan, are unabashedly singular and dualistic. Designed by Toyo Ito (who was recently named the 2013 Pritzker Prize Laureate) & Associates, the Theatre offers pointed summits which exist in elevation as well as on the theatre’s roof, drawing a set of circumstances where the walls blend with the irregular roof without truly doing so- there is no chamfering or blended cuts. And throughout the building’s exterior and interior, portholes give light in and out- whether artificial or natural- adding a second element that offers counterpoint to the pointed tent-arches, while softening the dominance of the lacquered black walls against their light-coloured neighbors. Bjarke Ingels’ Not-Yet-Built LEGO Museum Commemorated in LEGO Architecture Series. Bjarke Ingels’ LEGO-inspired design for the LEGO House in Denmark is now available to build in LEGOs.
(Courtesy LEGO) LEGO Architecture has released a new box set—and from the looks of it, this isn’t your grandmother’s architectural plaything. The new LEGO set is not the usual plastic-brick model of Rockefeller Center or the Empire State Building. No, this new set is cutting-edge. It goes where no other LEGO box set has gone before: it’s a replica of an icon so iconic that it doesn’t even exist yet.
Spotted by John Hill at A Daily Dose of Architecture and selling on eBay for well over $100, the set also features what appears to be a shaggy-haired Bjarke Ingels figurine, which would place him in the company of Yoda, the Lone Ranger, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as icons that have also been shrunk to LEGO-sized proportions. The real LEGO House will be a blocky, 82,000-square-foot exhibition space designed to celebrate the toy’s history. شاركي و جورج المقدمة by Atheer_Asyad recommendations.
