[the ANTHROPOLOGiST] Urban Land Project

Tim Simmons' images compel viewers to reconsider the notion of "landscape." Focusing on the innate texture and detail of the land, he sets out to draw audiences deeper into it. Several of his photos were recently displayed in large-scale

format along the arteries of Los Angeles and Philadelphia in a commission entitled Urban Land Project. Each city afforded a unique perspective of his work, compelling passersby to reflect and reconnect with their surroundings.

'Earth House' par BCHO Architects à Séoul en Corée du Sud - Architecture

'Earth House' par BCHO Architects à Séoul en Corée du Sud - Architecture | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

"Earth House", littéralement "La Maison de la Terre" est une maison enfouie dans le sol à Séoul en Corée du Sur. Elle a été réalisée par le cabinet BCHO Architects.

 

La maison possède deux cours qui relient les chambres à la surface et au ciel. Les principaux matériaux utilisés sont le béton, le bois de pin et la terre issue de l'excavation du site.

 

La température intérieure est régulée naturellement grâce à sa position enterrée dans le sol, ainsi que par un système de chauffage géothermique.

Nous avons fait la rencontre de Samuel au workshop, un français architecte et ingénieur, qui a vécu plus d’un an à Caracas dans les hauteurs de Petare Norte, dans le Barrios Julián Blancos. Pour quelques semaines au Venezuela - afin de participer entre autre au CSS Workshop 2009 - il nous a emmené dans son ancien quartier.

 

La visite a eu lieu sous angle de l’architecture et des risques liés au caractère autoproduit ou informel des Barrios. Ces risques architecturaux, au-delà de la violence, sont les suivants :

 

- Risque sismique : Caracas est situé sur une faille géologique, comme le témoigne l’actualité de ces derniers jours :

Un terremoto de 5,5 sacude la ciudad de Caracas (4 mai 2009).

ATLANTIC CITY HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL [PINKCLOUD.DK]

ATLANTIC CITY HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL [PINKCLOUD.DK] | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

How can the public reclaim scarred space in history?

A memorial for the Holocaust- we began by accepting the axiom that the scars left by the Holocaust are permanent in spite of continual attempts to de-emphasize it through time. But there must be hope nevertheless, and means by which the Holocaust survivor – burdened with the responsibility to summon and retell their stories lest our societies fall into the same inhumane path again – can reconcile their paradoxical desires to move on and to not forget concurrently.

Thus we must reclaim the scar.

Modern Talking, Galleri Enkehuset Stockholm 2003.

A styrofoam building material was used to create a flexible exhibition architecture that was easily rebuilt in less than an hour.

And maybe most important of all, doing it was great fun.

ETHEL BARAONA POHL AND CESAR REYES FROM DPR-BARCELONA INTERVIEW BEATRIZ COLOMINA

ETHEL BARAONA POHL AND CESAR REYES FROM DPR-BARCELONA INTERVIEW BEATRIZ COLOMINA | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

If we think about the explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s as the instigators of the radical transformation occurred in the architectural culture, enhanced by the access to new reproduction devices as xerography and photocopy; we can talk now about networking, supported by wide TIC access and 2.0 web phenomenon, as a new way to explore the world.

 

Under these conditions media and information reveal as a new ship to explore the global map in several unexpected ways, a path to create new cartographies based on networking that generates this new terra incognita. As examples there can be stated some networking initiatives such as “Reading The Infrastructural City” [1] or discussions like the “Glass House Conversations” [2], which are aimed to expand the concept of books and traditional publications. Colomina answers our questions on the idea of blogs and on-line conversation as the little magazines of our time and we discuss if it is the new adequate forum to speculate on the future of architecture?

 

We have invited Beatriz Colomina to discuss her research and focus not only on the past, but using this experience, to talk about the future; the network phenomenon as substrate to create a new relevant group of forward-thinkers for the near future.

The interview was done at the last Beyond Media Festival in Florence (2009), coinciding in time with the Clip/Stamp/Fold exhibition she curated travelling around the world.

Strip-tease, la tour F se rhabille et se déhanche - Le Courrier de l'Architecte

Strip-tease, la tour F se rhabille et se déhanche - Le Courrier de l'Architecte | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Pourrie d'amiante, pourrie thermiquement», prévient Christian Bougeard, architecte mandataire de l'agence AIA.

Sa vocation : le casernement. D’aucuns passant sur le périphérique connaissaient, plus ou moins, cette barre anonyme, un temps revêtue d’une bâche lors de son désamiantage. Qui pouvait imaginer que cette tour aux allures impersonnelles abritait des logements pour «célibataires géographiques» ?

As-tu déjà oublié ?: Ivry-sur-Seine - Ensemble de logements | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Ivry-sur-Seine - Ensemble de logements -

1970-1975.

Architecte: Jean Renaudie.

 

L'ensemble de logements bâtis dans le cadre de la rénovation du centre d'Ivry-sur-Seine apparaît, au début des années soixante-dix, comme un des projets phares du renouveau architectural français. Caractérisés par la singularité de chaque appartement, par la présence de terrasses et par une géométrie où l'usage des diagonales donne aux angles générés une forte présence visuelle, ces immeubles contribuent à la réhabilitation de l'image du logement social.

CITY BREATHS | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

“A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language, of selecting from those possibilities. Just as language limits what can be said, architecture limits where one can walk, but the walker invents other ways to go.”
- Rebecca Solnit, in: Wanderlust: A History of Walking

Surprising Architecture Displayed By Coastal Residence

Surprising Architecture Displayed By Coastal Residence | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Constructed in Lagos, Portugal, this fascinating residential home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean will definitely become one of your favorites once you see all the details. Designed by Portuguese architectural studio Mario Martins, the coastal home was created with a few guidelines in mind, as to make the most of its location and offer the inhabitants a comfortable, elegant crib. Named Colunata House, the residence was built using locally resourced materials and its architecture was designed according to solar orientation, but without losing the panoramic views. A subtle transition between the interiors and exteriors was created, respecting the surroundings and carefully placing comfort and views on a pedestal.
