Skandinavia’s largest architecture prize, Nykredit’s Architecture Prize of DKK 500,000, is this year awarded to the architectural practice COBE based in Copenhagen represented by architect, Dan Stubbergaard. In its choice the jury emphasised the fact that COBE spans the full professional spectrum from minor construction and urban space design to strategic planning and research. Currently, COBE is most renowned for the design and realisation of the new Nørreport Train Station and is currently detailing the development of the Nordhavn harbour area – one of Scandinavia’s largest and most ambitious metropolitan development projects, says the chairman of the prize jury, Mette Kynne Frandsen, Architect and CEO.

Wikipedia has an enormous list of Concert Halls around the world. Last night I went through all of them and selected 25 distinctive buildings that caught my eye. This list is not exhaustive and was not compiled for a concert hall’s cultural, historical or architectural significance. It is simply a visual tour around the world through the lens of concert halls; which are often considered important cultural landmarks of a city. Enjoy! And please feel free to share your favourite concert halls in the comments below. Via @MYDstudio

The Mizuta Museum of Art is a 7,000sf building on a university campus in Japan designed to show works from a valuable collection of Ukiyo-e (Japanese woodcuts), while also being able to accommodate contemporary works and artistic production from the school and community. The fragile nature of these prints requires a highly controlled and insulated environment. As the building closest to the campus entry, it also acts as a gateway building, providing information and displays about campus life. Finally, its compressed but exposed site with seventeen existing tress and nine meter height limit could only yield a two story building with a dual programmatic role, museum and orientation center, each requiring direct access to the main campus walk. via @Architizer

Le décret n°2012-677 du 7 mai 2012 apporte un correctif au seuil de surface au-delà duquel le recours à un architecte est obligatoire. Il fait une distinction entre emprise au sol et surface de plancher. La nouvelle règle de calcul a été intégrée à l’article R. 431-2 (V) du Code de l’urbanisme et est immédiatement applicable. Cette loi n’est cependant pas sans inquiéter les architectes. Les effets positifs de la surface plancher (...)

Type City is a recent artwork by artist Hong Seon Jang that uses pieces of movable type from a printing press to create an elaborate cityscape. It’s fascinating to watch as the need for printed books and typography wanes, the unused objects themselves are more frequently used as an actual medium. Jang also completed a much larger Type City in 2009. Also, if you liked this, make sure you watch the creation of Ephemicropolis by Peter Root, a city built from 100,000 staples.

The Undesignable Cityscape: Project Cities The "induction cities" project began with our conclusion that a city cannot be designed. Designing is a combination of endeavors dealing with what can be programmed by computer-that which is describable-and what cannot be programmed. Our "Induction Cities" project seeks to augment the former. The latter is the job of the human brain. This is where the value of the brain that can conceive images is demonstrated. A city cannot be designed, as I said at the beginning, and what I mean is that if it is a city we are talking about the meaning of "design" has to change.
The design of a city is probably an endeavor at inducing the spontaneous generation of a city.
That is made possible by brain/computer collaboration.There is more than one ideal city.
Probably there are as many ideal cities as there are human brains. The eleven cities proposed below are some of them. - Makoto Sei Watanabe

According to Spillman Farmer Architects‘ blog “Speaking of Architecture“, Lynette Jackson aka Flickr user Page67_Lynette Jackson uses her iphone to document, design and publish images of the built environment around her through Instagram. Taking a series of images that zoom deeper and deeper into the nuances of architectural form and space, Jackson’s use of pop-art imagery and graphic tools bring out details that otherwise go unnoticed and creates a narrative about each individual work of architecture that she documents.

Vladimir Shukhov was born in a town of Graivoron, Belgorod Oblast, into a petty noble family. He was a Russian engineer-polymath, scientist and architect renowned for his pioneering works on new methods of analysis for structural engineering that led to breakthroughs in industrial design of world’s first hyperboloid structures, lattice shell structures, tensile structures, gridshell structures, oil reservoirs, pipelines, boilers, ships and barges. via @ethel_baraona - @dpr_barcelona http://paper.li/paperliacu#!art-entertainment

The idea for these minimalist Tea Houses was triggered by the need of a nature retreat, located not far from a family home in Silicon Valley, California. The creative team at Swatt Miers Architects was in charge with transforming a vision into reality, designing the three tea houses as perfect observation spots. According to the official description provided by the project developers, each new tea house was created as a “transparent steel and glass pavilion, hovering like a lantern over the natural landscape. Cast-in-place concrete core elements anchor the pavilions, supporting steel channel rim joists, which cantilever beyond the cores to support the floor and roof planes. With its minimal footprint, the design treads lightly on the land, minimizing grading and preserving the delicate root systems of the native oaks“.

Raised up by metal columns, the two-storey residence, named Toda House, wraps around a courtyard garden. Residents can walk underneath the building into this central courtyard, where a staircase leads up into a first floor lobby. From here, rooms wind anticlockwise around the building and incrementally climb upwards. Balconies are located at both ends of the coil and overlook the sea beyond... The site is located in a residential area developed on a gentle perch in Hiroshima, overlooking a far view of the Inland Sea and Miyajima. via .@Dezeen
