The news of China's new city-turned-ghost town of Qingshuihe in Inner Mongolia--a brand new town meant to boost the nation's economy but which ran out of money before it could be finished--is a painful déjà vu for China after its failed master plan of Ordos which we heard about just last year. Once again, the monstrous consequences of blind economic growth in the name of progress, in what amounts to an ironic pile of monuments to failure; an all-in-one boom-and-bust town reflecting the tragic paradox of our existing economic system and China's relentless race to the top. via @arkinet
With intent to emphasize the structural elements, and to seek to highlight the local construction methods and materials, design work was done using fine timber formwork in order to leave a permanent imprint on the exposed concrete. The large windows explore the opportunities to open the space as much as possible, and using floor to ceiling windows allows the rooms to become a balcony. Existing vegetation is preserved so that when you open the windows you could have a visual relationship with the existing trees. White was used for horizontal and vertical planes (slabs and walls) in order to cause the spread of natural light. Materials such as tempered glass, wood and exposed concrete used in its size, and natural shades create an architecture that is restrained and straightforward.

The purpose of this review is to provide a narrative summary of the content of the Manuel de Sola Morales (MSM) work and provide a conclusion regarding its effectiveness, and possible applications
It would seem that the intention of this volume is to provide a helpful work to facilitate a more dynamic, appropriate and informed response to challenges peculiar to that of the urban condition from centre to periphery. In an effort to be as clear as possible the book is split into digestible portions that try to describe Manuel’s comprehension of the city, giving summative subtitles' in an effort to further clarify the point for each section.

Pour la première fois le Pavillon de l’Arsenal, donne la parole à une nouvelle génération d’agences, collectifs et associations d’architectes européens qui réinterrogent au travers de leurs démarches la fabrique de nos métropoles. À Amsterdam, Berlin, Bruxelles, Londres, Madrid, Paris ou Rotterdam,... ces équipes souvent pluridisciplinaires, aux positions critiques et aux pratiques transversales et novatrices re-définissent le rôle public et social de leur profession. Ils pratiquent une architecture et un urbanisme hors norme et questionnent les modes convnetionnels de fabrication de la ville. Pédagogues, pragmatiques et engagés, elles travaillent avec ceux qui sont déjà là pour ceux qui habiteront demain. via @MalletP

What can be the role of architects in the next decade? Should architects insist on being the master-builder, designing, documenting and constructing buildings (=spaces), or shift towards new services like the emerging industry of design consultancy where creativity (e.g. design thinking) is more valued than the delivery of blueprints? Architects regard themselves often as underrated among other stakeholders in the planning process: both in power and compensation. In spite of the sudden rise of the star-architects, our role gets less significant. Strangely, in maybe no other field exits so different interpretations of one profession. Are we artists? Engineers? Researcher? Sociologist? Marketeers? Writers? Designers? Or is the ‘professional generalist’ - as we like to see our-self (like the renaissance man) just wishful thinking, when many of us work on door schedules or construction documents? Today, there are many new opportunities available to emerging architects, as Rory Hyde writes in his article Potential Futures for Design Practice - “overturning the inherited assumptions of the design professions”: new roles like being a “Community Enabler”, a “Unsolicited Architect”, a “Practicing Researcher” and more.

As the world's human population moves to cities, how cities grow may well determine the fate of the planet... The world's cities are mushrooming at the rate of around 1 million people a week as the planet's population heads toward 9 billion people by 2050 from 7 billion now.

Lieu : Ivry-sur-Seine [ Région Parisienne - France ]
Année : 1969 - 1975
Architecte : l'atelier de Jean Renaudie et de Renée Gailhoustet (sa compagne) Ça ne vous dit rien ?
Souvenez-vous de la la cité des étoiles à Givors que Aurore a présenté il y a peu de temps. En excursion à Ivry-sur-Seine, je tombe par hasard sur ce quartier : le centre-ville entièrement pensé par Jean Renaudie. On y trouve logements, commerces et bureaux. Dans cette imaginaire entièrement en béton, énormément de végétations se disséminent à chaque recoin. Le cœur de la cité parait être en promontoire. Les rues sont vivantes mais nous sentons l'usure des années sur le béton et l'espace public. L'explorateur : Charline via @Vis_LE_papotage
