VAUMM: madera en altura

VAUMM: madera en altura | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Este edificio de viviendas en Berlin es obra del estudio KADEN/KLINGBEIL arkitekten. Es interesante su proceso constructivo, el edificio realizado en madera, mediante el uso de paneles prefabricados combina una estructura de madera y de hormigón otra de hormigón armado. Se convierte así en un edificio semi-prefabricado, que resuelve un volumen en altura.

OMA- Overdose: Clement Blanchet at TEDx Toulouse | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

OMA's associate and director of French projects Clement Blanchet spoke recently at TEDx Toulouse on the proliferation of pressures and pieties that are threatning to eliminate its intrinsic values -- a situation Blanchet called OVERDOSE. The obligation of the icon, the wish of preservation, all with an almost religious dose of "green", the architect faces the exhaustion of a bulimic production. How can the crisis be turned in favor of the architect? View the lecture here

Urban Vertical Farming: Generative System for a Vegetable Growing Infrastructure - eVolo | Architecture Magazine

Urban Vertical Farming: Generative System for a Vegetable Growing Infrastructure - eVolo | Architecture Magazine | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

The population of the world is expected to double by 2050. This fact does not only raise interrogations for the future of food production and the increasing necessity of land cultivation, it also creates concerns towards endangering the future of natural resources and biodiversity.


Today, food is longer being produced where it is being consumed. Vegetables sometimes travel to other continents to be processed or even simply packed before returning for consumption. The transport infrastructure for refrigerated food products, besides being costly, is strongly energy un-efficient and is an important contribution to global warming.


Can agriculture make its way into the city? Can it integrate our urban fabric despite its apparent necessity to occupy large horizontal surfaces little available in the economically-driven metropolitan densities?

Ils avaient multiplié leurs requêtes auprès du gouvernement mais n’ont finalement pas obtenu gain de cause. Les architectes, qui ont vivement critiqué la modification intervenue mercredi sur la réforme de la surface plancher, sont en colère et comptent bien le faire savoir. Réaction.

 

Le décret paru mercredi modifiant la réforme de la surface plancher est une véritable déception pour les architectes. Ainsi, le conseil national de l’ordre des architectes (CNOA) indique dans un communiqué : ...

Architecture et Médiation

Architecture et Médiation | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Diplômée d'état en architecture en juin 2010, j'ai choisi de continuer ma formation en privilégiant l'expérimentation sur le terrain. C'est en partenariat avec des structures et des collectifs variés que j'interroge l'usage par l'action. Je me laisse également la liberté d'aiguiser mon regard d'architecte sur la ville en croisant plusieurs domaines (culture, art, sociologie...) et en élargissant mon champ de compétences à la croisée des uns et des autres.


Cette démarche de "recherche par l'action" a commencé avec un service civique au sein d'une association d'éducation populaire et une mission dans le cadre de l'association De l'aire où j'ai pu me familiariser aux méthodes et participer activement aux interventions in situ du collectif Exyzt.

 

Ces premières expériences m'ont permis d'aller à la rencontre des usagers et d'expérimenter avec eux différentes démarches, différents outils de concertation ayant pour objet de les engager dans la transformation de leur paysage vécu.

Leur permettre de devenir les acteurs inventifs de leur cadre de vie constitue pour moi, à la fois un champ de recherche, et une modalité d'action que je cherche aujourd'hui à promouvoir.

 

J'ai ainsi créé mon statut d'auto-entrepreneuse pour offrir mes compétences et mettre mon dynamisme au service de structures qui oeuvrent sur différents terrains et qui, sur chacun d'eux, cherchent à mettre la ville en projet en faisant la part belle à la question de l'usage et de la participation.

AD Interviews: Santiago Calatrava

AD Interviews: Santiago Calatrava | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it
Earlier this week, Pratt Institute extended an invitation to the ArchDaily team to attend their 123rd commencement, celebrating the achievements of 1300 bachelor’s and master’s degree candidates at Radio City Music Hall. The event also marked a special day of recognition for four honorary degree recipients:

 

artist/curator/critic Ai Weiwei, architect, engineer and artist Santiago Calatrava, patron on the arts and education Kathryn Chenault, and the Metropoitan Museum of Art’s longest-serving director Philippe de Montebello.

 

We were privileged to have an opportunity to congratulate Mr. Calatrava on his doctor of architecture degree, and pose ArchDaily’s traditional interview questions. Mr. Calatrava’s contributions to the professions of architecture and engineering can be found scattered across the world, and bring a sense of dynamism that result from the merge between art and technology, expression and functionality.

 

Calatrava’s charm and good humor made for a friendly conversation that we hope you enjoy.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center

Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Replacing a lone turnstile and guard’s hut behind the Brooklyn Museum with a series of glass-wrapped, green-capped pavilions and a plaza, the new Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) Visitor Center by New York–based Weiss/Manfredi is a sight for sore eyes. Nestled within a rich context and history—the nearby Prospect Park was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted in the late 19th century and the Gardens by his two sons in the early 20th—the Center’s most impressive feature, its steel-frame design, is also its most vital. The custom-made structure forms a curving vertebrae that is formally elegant and light on the ground, yet structurally robust.

“We wanted it to be an inhabitable topography,” said Manfredi. Indeed, the center’s serpentine form responds to the site’s existing undulations and is shaped to accommodate the grade differential and maximize sunlight and views to the gardens, as well as reap the geothermal benefits of a berm. To successfully do this the exposed 10x6 columns have been welded to varying roof beam depths, ranging from 10x6 to 18x6 to form frames that are organized in a curvilinear, 12-foot on-center grid in an east-west configuration.

The Casa das Histórias Paula Rego was designed by the architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. The building makes use of certain aspects of the region’s historical architecture, which is here reinterpreted in a contemporary way. It can be immediately recognised thanks to its two pyramid-shaped towers and the red-coloured concrete used in its construction.
