Cloverdale749 is located around the block from the historically significant Miracle Mile hub comprising the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the A+D Architecture and Design Museum, and other noteworthy cultural destinations. Adhering to a strategy to maximize land use and capitalize on zoning, the building’s 10,500 square feet push against floor-area and density limitations determined by the lot’s size and location. In essence, this project is a volume that cannot expand further. YEAR 2014 SIZE 10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft

Whether in business, technology or politics, China is no stranger to controversy. However, there is no denying that the country has managed to pull off some stunning achievements. Its solar energy office building in Dezhou, the largest one of its kind in the world, is one such project. It is a very recent achievement, but the sun-dial shaped building, which is sustained totally on solar power, has already become a national icon, and a symbol for people round the world campaigning for clean and renewable energy sources. The structure, known as the Sun-Moon Mansion, is located just outside Dezhou and covers a whopping 75,000 square meters. Its sun dial shape is symbolic of the fact that the sun is one of the most important renewable energy sources, as the world looks for fossil fuel substitutes. The exterior of the building is dressed fully in solar panels, and its interior houses offices, scientific research facilities, exhibition centers, meeting halls and conference rooms, training facilities and even a hotel. All of these facilities run completely on solar power. Unfortunately, though, the realities of such large-scale development present a picture that is far from rosy. All the land swallowed up by the Solar Valley was rural farmland earlier, and in a controversial move, several thousand dislocated farmers, who had little say in the matter, have been re-situated in urban concrete apartments. China’s reliance on fossil fuels also shows no signs of abating, and the sale of cars continues to grow at an alarming rate. Nevertheless, most clean energy experts believe that the Solar Valley is a step in the right direction and should be viewed with optimism.

Alors que la retentissante exposition Matière Grise – matériaux, réemploi, architecture va très bientôt quitter sa plateforme de lancement, le Pavillon de l’Arsenal à Paris pour s’envoler vers d’autres cieux, nous rencontrions récemment ses commissaires, les architectes Julien Choppin et Nicola Delon de l’agence Encore Heureux : « Architectes et Collectif depuis 2001 ». À l’occasion de cette première expérience en la matière, la question était : architecte, commissaire, même étoffe ?

Ce colloque du cinquantenaire de la mort de Le Corbusier inaugure un nouveau cycle de trois colloques interdisciplinaires sur les rapports entre l’architecture, la littérature et l’urbanisme. Le premier colloque de ce cycle portera sur l’architecture des espaces habités projetés et construits par Charles-Édouard Jeanneret sous le pseudonyme de Le Corbusier, en interrogeant les fondements rationalistes, architectoniques et esthétiques de son architecture. Plusieurs orientations seront privilégiées afin d’étudier la conception de ces espaces de logements et la manière dont ils ont été conçus et perçus en prenant en compte les médiations artistiques qui ont contribué à l’évolution de la pensée de l’architecture corbuséenne et de sa pratique. On s’interrogera sur le statut des nombreux écrits de l’architecte qui ont accompagné son œuvre architecturale. Entre écrits théoriques et manifestes, entre pamphlet et réflexion approfondie, les écrits de Le Corbusier n’ont pas qu’escorté son œuvre mais l’ont aussi anticipée.

La Cité Descartes s’est dotée d’un bâtiment destiné à accueillir le Pôle scientifique et technique Paris Est. Ce lieu de convergence entre les différentes entités du campus vient se loger
Une dalle de béton dissimulée sous une nappe verte, formant un long tapis végétal déployé entre les différents lieux d’enseignement scientifique et de recherche du campus de Marne-la-Vallée…
Tel est le bâtiment imaginé par l’architecte Jean-Philippe Pargade (avec le bureau d’études SNC Lavalin) afin d’offrir aux professionnels et aux étudiants de l’Institut français des sciences et technologies des transports (IFSTTAR), de l’Ecole des Ponts Paris Tech, du Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment (CSTB) et de l’Institut d’urbanisme de Paris, bureaux, laboratoires, centre de conférences (amphithéâtre, salles de réunion), etc. Pour regrouper ces différentes fonctions au cœur de ce territoire vallonné et boisé ponctué d’éléments architecturaux hétérogènes, le maître d’œuvre a opté pour « un travail sur le vide ».

Today, the Bauhaus is generally viewed as a formal canon or style. However, the historic Bauhaus embraced much more than just the design of objects and artefacts. Its goal was the design of a new modern living environment that – following the social adjustments brought about by the onset of industrialisation in the 19th century and the horrors of WWI – was to embrace people as individuals and social beings with their inherent human identity and dignity. The Bauhaus aimed to accomplish this through a synthesis of art and life, work and play.
The Bauhaus was not alone in this regard, but it was the first place where the European avant-garde’s longing for social renewal was institutionalised and authorised by the state in a school of design. Without the social and political vacuum created by the national turmoil between the German Revolution of 1918/19, the dissolution of the monarchy and the ratification of the Weimar Constitution on 11th April 1919, the foundation of this type of institution with such far-reaching goals would have been inconceivable. With the establishment of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius ultimately intended nothing less than to educate and shape a new type of designer and human being, who would contribute to changing the world.
This attitude also characterised life at the Bauhaus. Here, education did not focus on the strictly academic mediation of knowledge, but on an open and empirical-analytical experimentation and learning through collaboratively gained experiences and insights. Of course, the friendly and committed union shared by the Bauhaus’s students and masters – from the teaching staff to the apprentices – also crossed over into their leisure time, and this was explicitly set out in the founding manifesto of the Bauhaus, drafted by Walter Gropius in 1919: “Cultivation of friendly interaction between masters and students outside of work, including theatre, lectures, poetry, music, costume parties. Development of a celebratory atmosphere at these gatherings.” The parties at the Bauhaus especially became legendary events.

“Architecture is schizophrenic,” declared Rem Koolhaas, director of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. To break away from today’s digital obfuscations and celebrity culture in architecture, Rem’s taking this year’s Biennale in a different direction. “You could say this entire Biennale is entirely about the effects of modernity on countries and architecture,” explains the architect.

Les conditions météorologiques et les changements climatiques ont un impact majeur sur notre vie mais aussi sur notre habitat et notre manière de construire les logements. Les différentes projections le prouvent, il nous faut changer de philosophie : les ressources de notre planète sont limitées et le changement climatique, qui engendre une montée du niveau des océans ainsi qu’une multiplication des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes, nous obligent à faire preuve de flexibilité. Partout dans le monde, des architectes et des ingénieurs cherchent des solutions pour adapter notre habitat à ces évolutions en essayant de répondre à la même question : comment concilier confort, qualité de vie et protection de l’environnement ?
