OUTrial House

OUTrial House | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

A green clearing surrounded by forest was the only context for the proposed small house. Hence the idea to “carve out” a piece of the grass-covered site, move it up and treat it as the roofing to arrange all the required functions underneath. When the whole was ready, the client came up with another request, to create some space for a small recording studio and a conservatory. The latter was obtained by linking the ground floor with the grassy roof through an “incision” in the green plane and “bending” the incised fragment down, inside the building.

La Tendenza : le Centre Pompidou fait le point sur l’architecture italienne de la deuxième moitié du 20ème siècle - toutelaculture.com | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

La Tendenza est le nom d’un mouvement architectural né en Italie dans les années 1960 et qui récuse la notion d’avant-garde pour revenir à certaines formes de la Renaissance. Même si le mouvement a donné lieu à peu de réalisations effectives, il a largement inspiré des architectes du monde entier. Le Centre Pompidou dévoile maquettes et esquisses aux vrais airs de De Chirico et permet au public de mieux connaître cette élégante » Tendanza ».

Une promenade habille désormais le paysage des rives de la ville de Punggol à Singapour. Un très beau travail a été ici mené par LOOK Architects pour réconcilier le paysage naturel et les activités de loisir, tout en effaçant les marques de l'imposant quartier de logement voisin.

Un traitement audacieux mais sobre ponctué d'abris pour le repos aux formes dynamiques, soutenues par une structure en acier rappelant les roulements de la mer.

Architettura biomorfa per la centrale di Vaillo + Irigaray

Architettura biomorfa per la centrale di Vaillo + Irigaray | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

26/06/202 - Per il CRRSU - Centro di raccolta dei rifiuti solidi urbani di Huarte (Spagna) lo studio Vaillo + Irigaray Architects ha creato un edificio che, contrariamente agli altri della stessa tipologia, è in grado di coesistere con altri all'interno della città. La maggior parte di questi edifici industriali hanno le sembianze di vere e proprie fabbriche, "cieche" e insensibile verso l'ambiente.

 

Il CRRSU di Huarte è stato, invece, progettato come centrale dai tratti biomorfi, in grado di accentuare la propria 'personalità': “un edificio che guarda e annusa, dotato di naso e occhi”. Le macchine al suo interno, piuttosto rumorose, hanno reso necessario rivestire l'edificio con vari strati di protezione acustica, simili alle squame di un pesce. Un rivestimento riconoscibile e dotato di una scala di riconoscibilità riconducibile, forse concettualmente, alle peculiarità del luogo e alla cultura che deve generare: una cultura ecologica e "verde".

 

La struttura è interamente avvolta da un patchwork formato da lastre di grandi dimensioni (2,5 mx1,5 m) in lamiera di alluminio laccato riciclabile e di spessore minimo. Il suo sistema di costruzione si basa su un processo di "ottimizzazione del materiale di rivestimento" e quindi sfrutta la deformazione propria della lamiera sottile: ne deriva un'immagine di squame "rigonfie" che fanno pensare a una sorta di rigonfiamento dovuto ai gas prodotti internamente dal processo.

Coates Design Architects’ Eco-Pak Container homes

Coates Design Architects’ Eco-Pak Container homes | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Seattle Architect Matthew Coates, President of Coates Design Architects, has teamed up with Aircraft Structural Engineer James Green of Building Container LLC, to create a container home like no other.

Imagine a container that can be delivered to nearly any site on the globe and enclosed within are the structural components to build a house. Better yet….there’s no need to return the container; it becomes an integral part of the structure.

The Coates-Green team turns the idea of container homes inside out, literally.

The traditional container home uses the box as shelter; the team’s improved concept integrates the container into the structure of the home. For example, it may be reborn as the kitchen, living room or bedroom. The original idea came about when Green designed and built a home in remote Turkey on a site stipulating no concrete foundation. Using a shipping container, the conventional concrete foundation was replaced with removable frames to support the container and extended framework, forming the structure for the house...

San Telmo Museum Extension

San Telmo Museum Extension | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

The Museum of San Telmo, in its present condition, represents the result of a long process of successive modifications which has partially altered its physical and functional character over the years. Its location on the fringe where the urban structure meets the topography of Monte Urgull is a reflection, on the other hand, of an urban problem very characteristic of San Sebastian: the solution of a division never completely solved between natural and artificial landscape.

The Shed: a Simple + Elegant Prefab Shelter

The Shed: a Simple + Elegant Prefab Shelter | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it
Designed by collective Huff Projects, The Shed is a simple and elegant shelter completely prefab off-site.

It celebrates waste-free building through the use of prefabricated components. Made from a standard steel frame, modular walls, roof trusses and battens, this clever building in Springfield, Missouri, was built from a minimal kit of parts. Design collective Huff Projects erected the structure that can be used for anything from storing gardening tools to having a meal with the family or hosting a friend.

The Shed is protected from the elements by a continuous cladding all through its roof and outside walls. Almost like a second skin, the protection is made from white oak taken from the property’s own surroundings. Featuring one translucent end, the Shed also lets in plenty of sunlight to lessen the need for artificial lighting...
