Frank Gehry has been selected by online education platform MasterClass to lead an interactive architecture and design course on his creative process. The course will include 15 video lessons, and critique from the architect himself on select student work.
At a cost of $90, the lessons will cover Gehry’s career and architectural philosophy, illustrated with sketches and models from Gehry’s private model archive. Each lesson will offer a downloadable workbook with notes and assignments for the week. Students will then be able to upload videos for the opportunity to get feedback from the class and Frank himself.
"When you build a building, any building, start with the simple block model to see where that goes," Gehry says in the course’s promotional video.
"I'm always trying to express movement, I was fascinated with the fold so basic to our first feelings of love and warmth. These ideas are scary as hell to tell to the client, they can reject you and they will. But create the logic for it as you go, stretch it into another place."
In the video, Gehry also stresses the importance of designing for humanitarian reasons, and not just for economy or ego.
"Most of our cities are built with just faceless glass only for economies and not for humanities," he shares. "Whatever you do, promise me that every project you make or design you'll take the risk of doing something for humanity."
The MasterClass platform was founded in 2015 to “give anyone the ability to gain the wisdom and knowledge of the world’s best creators.” Past instructors have included Werner Herzog on filmmaking, Gordon Ramsay on cooking, and Deadmau5 on electronic music production.

Given its incredible history, the Île de la Cité really should be more enticing than it is. An island in the heart of Paris that splits the river Seine like an elaborate galleon blown upstream, it has been inhabited for over 2,000 years. It houses two of Europe’s most beautiful churches—Notre Dame Cathedral and the Sainte Chapelle—one of the world’s best preserved renaissance bridges, and the former prison of Marie Antoinette. Despite this sheer tonnage of beauty and memory, the island still retains a perplexingly arid atmosphere, with little street life beyond the tourists in transit.
That could now be set to change. As the final gesture of his term, France’s President François Hollande has made a revamp of the Île de la Cité one of his key legacy projects. The plan, by architect Dominique Perrault, is detailed in an exhibition that opened at the Conciergerie last week. Still at the conceptual stage, it would see the island effectively redesigned to make it more vibrant and pedestrian friendly, giving visitors more things to see there, and, above all, providing a host of new facilities that would make the place more attractive to ordinary Parisians.

Of all its bells and whistles, the focal point of Herzog and de Meuron’s latest successful endeavor, the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, is arguably the central auditorium, as explored in this new article by WIRED. An incredible example of the possibilities of parametric design, the hall is comprised of 10,000 individual acoustic panels that line the walls, ceilings, railings and balconies. Each of the panels consists of one million “cells” of varying dimensions, created to help define the sound within the space.
In order to accomplish this feat, Herzog and de Meuron collaborated with renowned acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, and Benjamin Koren of One to One, who created the algorithm responsible for the 10,000 unique panels. “That’s the power of parametric design,” said Koren. “Once all of that is in place, I hit play and it creates a million cells, all different and all based on these parameters. I have 100 percent control over setting up the algorithm, and then I have no more control.”

Le Cube vert, accueillant le siège mondial d’Euronews, chaîne d’information européenne, est conçu comme un immense parallélépipède transpercé par deux atriums coniques introduisant la lumière et l’air, et offrant des vues sur le paysage environnant et des accès aux berges de la Saône. Ces atriums s’apparentent à deux yeux gigantesques fixant le fleuve et son environnement. Le geste spectaculaire d’évidement du volume par deux atriums ouvre la façade et favorise la ventilation naturelle diurne et nocturne à l’intérieur de la construction. Ces espaces à ciel ouvert offrent des lieux de détente accessibles depuis les bureaux. Si le volume architectural se découvre d’abord comme un bloc monolithe, ses extrusions et sa résille enrichissent sa matérialité – graphique, coloré, poreux et aérien.

Des architectes de renom s'insurgent dans une pétition contre la démolition d'un immeuble construit par Paul Chemetov à Courcouronnes (Essonne) hébergeant des logements sociaux, dans le cadre d'un plan de rénovation urbain. Cet architecte français a notamment conçu le ministère des Finances de Bercy et la grande galerie du Muséum d'histoire naturelle. Intitulé "Faut-il démolir le patrimoine du XXe siècle ?", le document, publié mardi, est signé par 25 architectes parmi lesquels Henri Ciriani, Marc Mimram, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Rudy Ricciotti, Bernard Tschumi et Thierry van de Wyngaert, président de l'Académie d'Architecture. Selon eux, le bâtiment "construit en 1983 par Paul Chemetov et restauré il y a peu, est en danger de destruction rapide en raison de la convention signée en 2009 par l'Agence nationale de rénovation urbaine présentant sa démolition comme une nécessité".
"Cette braderie détruit des logements alors que l'on déplore leur pénurie, prive de travail entreprises et artisans capables de les restaurer ou de les réhabiliter, et nous dépossède d'un patrimoine du XXe siècle, qui est le nôtre", déclarent les signataires.
D'autres batiments menacés de démolition Ils citent d'autres exemples de patrimoine architectural menacés : l'école d'Architecture de Nanterre, de Jacques Kalisz, l'hôpital Louise-Michel, d'Adrien Fainsilber, l'Université du Mirail, de George Candilis, à Toulouse, le quartier de Mériadeck, à Bordeaux, de Jean Willerval, Paul Lagarde et Jean Royer, le centre Thales, à Velizy, de Claude Parent, l'usine Famar, à Orléans, de Jean Tschumi, les bureaux et laboratoires Novartis, à Rueil-Malmaison, de Bernard Zehrfuss, Martin Buckhardt et Jean Prouvé.
Architecture engages a culture’s deepest social values and expresses them in material, aesthetic form. In this course, you will learn how to “read” architecture as a cultural expression as well as a technical achievement. Vivid analyses of exemplary buildings from a wide range of historical contexts, coupled with hands-on exercises in drawing and modeling, bring you close to the work of an actual architect or historian. Architecture is one of the most complexly negotiated and globally recognized cultural practices, both as an academic subject and a professional career. Its production involves all of the technical, aesthetic, political, and economic issues at play within a given society. Over the course of ten modules, we’ll examine some of history’s most important examples that show how architecture engages, mediates, and expresses a culture’s complex aspirations. The first part of the course introduces the idea of the architectural imagination as a faculty that mediates sensuous experience and conceptual understanding. Two examples of the architectural imagination—perspective drawing and architectural typology—are explored through video presentations and hands-on exercises. You will be introduced to some of the challenges involved in writing architectural history, revealing that architecture does not always have a straightforward relationship to its own history. In the second set of modules, we address technology as a component of architecture’s realization and understanding. Architecture is embedded in contexts where technologies and materials of construction—glass and steel, reinforced concrete—are crucial agents of change. But a society’s technology does not determine its architectural forms. You will discover ways that innovative technology can enable and promote new aesthetic experiences, or disrupt age-old traditions. You will witness architecture’s ways of converting brute technical means into meaningful perceptions and textures of daily life. The interactions of architecture and modern technologies changed not only what could be built, but also what kinds of constructions could even be thought of as architecture. The final set of modules confronts architecture’s complex relationship to its social and historical contexts and its audiences, achievements, and aspirations. As a professional practice deeply embedded in society, architecture has social obligations and the aesthetic power to negotiate social change; to carry collective memories; even to express society’s utopian ideals. You will learn about what we call architecture’s power of representation, and see how architecture has a particular capacity to produce collective meaning and memories. What you'll learn: - How to read, analyze, and understand different forms of architectural representation
- Social and historical contexts behind major works of architecture
- Basic principles to produce your own architectural drawings and models
- Pertinent content for academic study or a professional career as an architect

Nowadays the main building materials used in the construction industry are concrete, steel and timber. From the point of view of ecological sustainability, there are four important differences between these three materials: first, timber is the only material of the three that is renewable; second, timber needs only a small amount of energy to be extracted and recycled compared to steel and concrete (but the implementation of its potential is not as developed yet); third, timber does not produce waste by the end of its life since it can be reused many times in several products before decomposing or being used as fuel and; and fourth, timber traps huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere – a tree can contain a ton of CO2 [1] – and the carbon absorbed remains embedded as long as the wood is in use.

Sometimes, clients bring in a clear idea or a name of a place they envision. This time, a movie named two moon junction surfaced when we first met. He talked about building a private cultural center centered around a coffeeshop and a gallery. A free spirited space , somewhat erotically charged like the movie, a place full of festivity and relaxed atmosphere. The other important criteria included providing two separate buildings, one for the client, and the other for his younger brother. The budget was extremely low, so from the start we decided to build simple boxes with some impact points.

C’est le dernier avatar d’une histoire parisienne séculaire qui, pour protéger son cœur de ses ennemis, a érigé comme principe l’édification de murailles en « cercles » concentriques : le boulevard périphérique, plus de 50 printemps au compteur, est l’objet de toutes les attentions et continue d’alimenter la chronique politique et urbaine. Les projets pour le transformer, le verdir, l’effacer, l’oublier, tenter de le juguler ou orner ses portes d’édifices marquants ne manquent pas. Dernière proposition en date : lundi 30 janvier, le groupe Les Républicains (LR) au Conseil de Paris a déposé un vœu (« Paris sans frontières ») prévoyant la couverture partielle de l’enceinte de la voie circulaire. « Il y a nécessité de recoudre Paris avec sa banlieue », a plaidé la présidente du groupe LR, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet.
L’idée n’est pas nouvelle. Le périphérique s’invite fréquemment dans les débats sur le Grand Paris lorsqu’il s’agit de réfléchir à une capitale mieux articulée avec ses marges, la proche banlieue, et réciproquement. « L’avenir de l’agglomération, au moins pour sa zone la plus dense, se joue en partie de part et d’autre du périphérique », indiquait Pierre Mansat, chargé actuellement de la Métropole du Grand Paris auprès de la Mairie de Paris, dans l’avant-propos du catalogue (épuisé) de l’exposition « No limit », présentée en 2009 au Pavillon de l’Arsenal.

For decades, students at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, & Preservation signed up for Kenneth Frampton’s legendary class, Studies in Tectonic Culture. The course tasked students with creating realistic representations of buildings “as a pedagogical exploration of the history of architectural tectonics”—and the models long spilled into the hallways of the architecture school before being hidden away in the archives.
Now, the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery has decided to pull some of these models out from obscurity and display them in a whole new light for the show Stagecraft: Models and Photos, which opened February 9th. Produced during the 1990s and early 2000s, the models are of significant 20th-century buildings around the world, from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Samuel Freeman House to Peter Zumthor’s St. Benedict Chapel.

Les femmes architectes devraient «attendre juste une seconde» pour l'égalité salariale selon Santiago Calatrava, qui a diverti un public à Londres en dessinant des femmes nues et expliquant comment sa femme avait soutenu sa carrière. S'exprimant lors d'un événement marquant le dévoilement de son premier plan londonien, Calatrava a présenté ses réflexions sur les résultats du récent sondage Women in Architecture, qui montre que la discrimination entre les sexes est très répandue dans l'architecture. «Les femmes sont le sel de nos vies, elles lui donnent du goût», a déclaré Calatrava à l'auditoire lors de la conférence au London Design Museum. L'architecte, qui planifie un projet de 1 milliard de livres à la lisière de la Tamise de Londres, a décrit le rôle que sa femme a joué dans le soutien de sa carrière. "Mon partenaire le plus proche et la personne avec laquelle j'ai travaillé pendant 35 ans a été ma femme. Elle m'a non seulement soutenu et m'a aidé, mais aussi encadré ma vie", a-t-il dit. L'écart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes
est en train de s'élargir Interrogée sur la question de savoir si les femmes sont évaluées à parts égales par la chaire, le journaliste écossais Kirsty Wark, il a répondu: «Valeur? Certainement» - et a dit que ce serait juste une question de temps avant que les salaires des femmes rattrapent leurs homologues masculins.
"Si leur valeur matérielle n'est pas encore estimée, alors attendez une seconde, vous savez, et ça va changer", at-il dit. L'enquête annuelle Women in Architecture réalisée par des publications sœurs The Architects 'Journal et The Architectural review a révélé des écarts salariaux allant jusqu'à 55 000 £ entre les femmes et les hommes dans le même rôle. Il a également montré que, d'après les résultats de l'enquête de 2015, l'écart de rémunération ne fait que s'élargir. Après son discours, Calatrava a continué à traiter le public à une séance de dessin en direct, esquissant une paire de femmes nues en position agenouillée. Wark a verbalement sous-titré la pièce: «S'il vous plaît monsieur, puis-je avoir un peu plus d'argent! - une référence aux coûts de dépassement dont on sait que les projets d'architecte sont exposés. Calatrava esquivé des questions quant à savoir si son premier grand projet au Royaume-Uni garderait le budget.
Calatrava révèle un régime de 1 milliard de £ pour la péninsule de Greenwich à Londres
Le projet de l'architecte Greenwich Peninsula, dans le sud-est de Londres, accueillera une nouvelle station de métro - en remplacement de l'actuel centre de transport conçu par Norman Foster - ainsi qu'une salle de spectacle et des jardins d'hiver surmontés de trois tours d'habitation et d'hôtel. Calatrava, né en Espagne, est également l'architecte derrière l'Oculus, qui monte au-dessus du World Trade Center, à New York, et au musée en porte-à-faux de demain à Rio de Janeiro. Il a des bureaux à Zurich, Paris et New York. Il a récemment ouvert un autre studio à Dubaï et travaille sur la Dubaï Creek Tower - une tour d'observation mince qui devrait dépasser les 828 mètres de haut Burj Khalifa.

New York is experiencing a boom in high-end residential construction not seen since before the 2008 recession, including buildings by Álvaro Siza, Bjarke Ingels, Rafael Viñoly and Renzo Piano.
The list of architects now designing towers in New York includes several Pritzker Prize winners, like Shigeru Ban and Zaha Hadid. Though these buildings are reshaping both the skyline and the street, most New Yorkers will only experience them from the outside, and not everyone is happy about the boom.
Architect Steven Holl bemoaned the growing presence of supertall towers for the ultra-wealthy in Dezeen, calling them "profane spires". Aaron Betsky echoed that thought, writing "Manhattan is theirs, we just get to admire it". New York residents have also protested again the shadows cast by some of the new skyscrapers.

The telltale feature of a Morphosis design is the deconstructivist style that permeates the layout of the structure. For their new Kolon Future Research Park, a 404-acre campus in the up-and-coming industrial and tech district of Magkok in Seoul, Morphosis carves out the center of the building to create a light-filled, layered interior. With a lively internal program, this is a design that can’t be taken at face value. The project, now under construction, will form the corporate headquarters and research center for The Kolon Group, a diverse South Korean company that specializes in textiles, chemicals and sustainable technologies, including original clothing lines in athletic and ready-to-wear fashion markets. The group houses 38 divisions covering research, primary material manufacturing and product construction. This mash-up of professional pursuits inspired Morphosis to design a synergetic facility that encourages cross-platform collaboration and communication.

Posted on the OMA website with the description, "Presentation on how S, M, L, XL intends to both undermine and simultaneously reinforce architecture," this lecture delivered by a then-51-year-old Rem Koolhaas delves into the "intentions" behind the 1400-page behemoth monograph. The Dutch architect laments that he must spoil the experience of the book's nuanced relationships and surprises, stating "I'm exposing connections now that I would have preferred to remain hidden for you to discover or ignore."

Santiago Calatrava has unveiled a £1 billion development on the edge of London's River Thames, which will host a new tube station, performance venue and winter gardens topped by a crown-like arrangement of towers.
In this exclusive video, the 130,064-square-metre scheme developed by Knight Dragon is shown rising beside Richard Roger's Millennium Dome on the Greenwich Peninsula – a finger of land that extends into the River Thames in southeast London.
Peninsula Place will be Calatrava's first major UK project.
Calatrava said: "It is an honour to be designing such a piece of the fabric of London, a city I love. In designing this scheme, I have been inspired by London's rich architectural heritage and the very special geography of the Peninsula."

Quizás los últimos grandes ensayos de la tipología moderna del “salón de pasos perdidos” los encontremos –como de costumbre– con Le Corbusier. Entre los edificios parlamentarios diseñados por el arquitecto suizo, la salle des pas perdus constituye un elemento esencial cuya presencia obedece tanto a una tradición ya centenaria como sirve para subvertirla y generar algo distinto. Tal es el caso de su proyecto para el Palacio de la Liga de las Naciones en Ginebra de 1927, el primer edificio parlamentario de carácter mundial, diseñado junto a su primo Pierre Jeanneret, pero jamás realizado. Aquí, el salón de pasos perdidos se localiza al centro del edificio de la asamblea general, y se descubre una vez ingresando en él, subiendo por unas escaleras monumentales. Le Corbusier lo describe así:
“Subiendo las escaleras se abren los pasos perdidos que se extienden a ambos lados de la sala [de asambleas] bajo las gradas de la tribuna hasta el pabellón del Presidente (…) Estos amplios pasos perdidos se abren completamente al Jura y se encuentran, a izquierda y derecha, bajo los dos grandes muros de cristal de la sala de asambleas. Aquí, los muros de cristal son límpidos: el paisaje irradia; del lado del ambulatorio izquierdo el lago superior y Saboya; del lado derecho Ginebra y el Salève.”(1)
