... Et donc, soudain, dans cette suite de poches dispersées, éclatées et protégées qu’est le plateau de Saclay, ce surgissement de ces 2 bâtiments modestes mais singuliers, tranchants par rapport à la normalité qui les environne, et que le temps ne ménage pas. Pas eu le temps de chercher ce qu’on y fait. Les signes toujours ici sont obscurs. Et, derrière, on voyait les lamps allumées et les tables alignées d’une cantine, moi je n’avais dans mon sac qu’un sandwich acheté gare Massy TGV, aussi triangulaire que ces architectures, et c’était pile 1h et quelques alors bon...

polis: reflexive practice with value placed on process, empathy and everyday life... | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

For architects, employing an ethic of care involves reflexive practice with value placed on process, empathy and everyday life. This post explores several projects in which participants adopted processes of interdependence, nurturing and long-term sustainability.

Zero Mile House / Yianna Bouyioukou

Zero Mile House / Yianna Bouyioukou | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Located on an urban corner lot in the city of Vancouver, the Zero Mile House establishes a relationship between the size of the lot and the size of the construction it supports. Designed by Yianna Bouyioukou, the architectural strategy is focused on most of the house’s construction materials being produced literally on the specific lot. This way, land is not only the physical support for the human habitat, but also the provider. More images and architects’ description after the break.

La réalité augmentée fait revivre Paris, de la préhistoire à nos jours - AFP

La réalité augmentée fait revivre Paris, de la préhistoire à nos jours - AFP | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY — Avec ce projet futuriste, Paris ne sera pas mis en bouteille mais toute son histoire prendra vie de la préhistoire à nos jours grâce à des documentaires alliant archéologie, histoire, fiction et réalité augmentée, un livre aux "pop-up" virtuels ou encore un site internet.


La série inédite sur l'histoire de Paris, coproduite par Planète+, Gédéon programmes et Dassault Systèmes, comprendra cinq films : un docu-fiction de 90 minutes et quatre documentaires plus pédagogiques de 52 minutes qui traiteront de la construction de la capitale.


Cet ensemble doit être diffusé en octobre sur Planète+ et fera appel aux techniques de réalité augmentée avec la complicité de Dassault Systèmes, spécialiste des logiciels de conception 3D.

As Found, The Discovery of the Ordinary: British Architecture and Art of the 1950s | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Design Guidelines A–Z | SF Better Streets | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Design guidelines direct the placement, design and materials selection of streetscape features in relation to one another. Good street design depends on considering the relation of individual streetscape elements to the overall character of the street. Certain guidelines may be required as part of permits; others include advice and best practice for design of street elements.


The links below contain design guidelines for projects seeking making improvements to streets, sidewalks and streetscape elements in San Francisco.

Photographs of Spain's Failed Urban Development | Feature Shoot | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

‘Spain is one of the countries hardest hit by the European economic crisis. Thanks to a highly unstable financial and real estate market, an estimated 1.2 million new empty houses litter the landscape, affecting a large majority of the population. In parallel, unemployment figures are growing to such an extent that in some areas, especially in the south, cities are experiencing unemployment rates as high as 40%.’

Curating Restlessness: Regulating Landscapes of Change - eVolo | Architecture Magazine | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

The research Proposal by Michael Ippolito from the California College of the Arts proposes a radical rethinking of architecture and landslides. The Marin Headlands is home to over twenty landslides. The most notable and fastest acting landslide in the Headlands is located on the Oceanside of the park between rodeo cove and Tennessee Valley. It is known as place that has been left behind and rendered a volatile wasteland. This wasteland has consumed many man-made structures including eight abandoned military buildings, and two roadways.

A pre-fabricated, low energy house by Kraus Schonberg Architects. One big connected space, separated by an upper and a lower part.

 

The volume of the space is created by rooms of various heights, corresponding to their individual function. The lower part rest below ground level creating a direct view into the garden while standing up and a privacy feel while sitting down.

Eames: The Architect & The Painter | Arquine | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

‏Este documental es una invitación a conocer el mundo de Charles y Ray Eames, una inusual pareja formada por un arquitecto sin licencia y una pintora que rara vez pintaba. Juntos formaron Eames Offices y se convirtieron en una de las firmas más influyentes dentro de la arquitectura y el diseño norteamericano de la posguerra.

 

Eames: The Architect & The Painter (2011) fue escrita y dirigida por John Cohn, producida por Bill Jersey y narrada por James Franco, quien con un tono irónico y divertido enfatiza al carácter polifacético de estos dos icónicos personajes.
