On this special (and very spontaneous) episode of Archinect Sessions we are joined with three members of the Taliesin community to help shed some light on the mysterious and disturbing sudden announcement of the closure of The School of Architecture at Taliesin . With us are  Benjamin Aranda , partner at Aranda\Lasch with Chris Lasch, the Dean at  The School of Architecture at Taliesin ; Cruz Garcia co-director at WAI Architecture Think Tank and a previous visiting teaching fellow at The School of Architecture at Taliesin; and Ryan Scavnicky of Extra Office, and former visiting teaching fellow at The School of Architecture at Taliesin.  Our conversation shares our guest's experiences at the school, with insight into the questionable relationship between the foundation and the school.

That's why  Bustler  is here to help! At the end of every week, we'll share a quick selection of our newest design  competition submissions  that we think are worth a look, as well as some ongoing ones you might have missed the first time.

Santi Zoraidez , directeur artistique et designer originaire d’Argentine évoqué précédemment, réalise des modélisations en 3D et des créations numériques aux couleurs vives et aux courbes arrondies. Précédemment basé à Berlin, l’artiste est désormais retourné dans son pays natal afin de poursuivre ses travaux. Ses oeuvres, dont les effets numériques sont incroyables, l’ont conduit à travailler avec de grandes marques telles qu’Apple, Nike ou encore Ikea. Passionné par les meubles, le design d’intérieur, les installations artistiques, l’architecture et le design graphique, il parvient à créer des rendus au style inimitable à travers desquels il peut étudier des notions telles que le temps, l’espace et le mouvement.   , Edwige, via Fubiz Media http://bit.ly/2Ugh5t9

Le studio d’art japonais, Takeru Shoji Architects Group , a terminé sa dernière installation dans le village agricole de Nagaoka, dans la préfecture de Niigata. La «Maison Hara», qui fonctionne comme une maison fonctionnelle qui abrite une seule famille, a été construite sous la forme d’une tente afin de se coordonner avec les bâtiments et les maisons qui l’entourent. L’idée était de le faire se sentir ouvert et invitant aux voisins et aux invités avec de larges entrées qui rendent les gens à l’aise pour s’arrêter pour bavarder. « Au lieu de concevoir un bâtiment conventionnel entièrement autonome, nous avons aspiré à créer un centre dynamique et animé », a expliqué Takeru Shoji Architects. , Lola, via Fubiz Media http://bit.ly/2S7HzKJ
