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. We talk about what happened this week, how these events conflict with Frank Lloyd Wright's wishes, as outlined in his will, about the direction of the foundation as an institution for learni

Inside the exhibition hall, Neimark has created a Dolmen of he

COOKFOX Architects and developers L & L Holding Company and Normandy Real Estate Partners have been granted approval by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission for a wide ranging restoration and expansion of the historic Terminal Warehouse in New York City's Chelsea district. The architects will restore and build upon an existing former commercial distribution structure that once served as a vital node between Hudson River-based mercantile traffic and New York City.  Top: A frontal view of the restored warehouse. Bottom: Street level view of the warehouse with the office addition visible at the top of the structure. Images courtesy of COOKFOX. The structure is marked on its ground level by a 670-foot-long tunnel that was once used by trains that directly connected nearby docks with the commercial facilities, New York YIMBY reports . In the latest iteration of the building, the former train tunnel will become a pedestrian shopping street filled with publi

Gehry Partners and the Children's Institute , non-profit organization that provides social services for children and families living in poverty, have broken ground on a new $20 million, 20,000-square-foot community resource complex in Los Angeles's Watts neighborhood.  Model views of the Children's Institute complex.

The complex will bring facilities for therapeutic programs, counseling, parenting workshops and other community facilities to the neighborhood. The complex will also house the Watts Gang Task Force, a group that "has brokered peace in the community for nearly 15 years, along with the LAPD Community Safety Partnership," while also offering "a nationally-recognized model for relationship-based policing," according to a press release for the

We get it. It can get a little overwhelming keeping up with the dozens of new  architecture competitions  launching worldwide on any given week — let alone having to stay on top of the multiple deadlines for each and every one. 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

Submit your projects before February 14th to secure a special Early Entry Discount. January 31st 2020 marks the day that the United Kingdom officially departs the European Union. While those that voted for “Brexit” and those that voted to remain in the bloc have been locked in a bitter row over the repercussions of the decision, they can surely agree that today’s news marks the biggest shift in Britain’s political landscape for a generation. The only other thing the two sides might agree on is that the country’s post-Brexit future is largely impossible to predict, with speculations about the UK’s prospects ranging from utopian to apocalyptic depending on your viewpoint. Thankfully for those of us in architectural circles, the profession and its students have a penchant for jumping into the unknown and speculating

Produit par Points de Vue et peint par Soluciones Luminiscentes S.L., le mur Hizkuntza caché au Pays basque français attire le regard surtout la nuit où les visiteurs et les habitants se réunissent, célèbrent et promeuvent la culture basque. La peinture représente l’importance des espèces de baleines Eubalena Glacialis pour le patrimoine basque. Alors que l’extinction commerciale de cette créature a été un coup dur pour le basque, elle a forcé le basque à naviguer vers de nouvelles parties du monde et à développer de nouvelles langues comme le basque-islandais et l’algonquin-basque. Venez voir cette fresque, qui est d’apparence ordinaire, prendre vie la nuit d’une manière que nous n’avons jamais vue! , Lola, via Fubiz Media http://bit.ly/36FPR1H

Paul Rudolph: Inspiration and Process in Architecture Eugenia Bell (Editor) Princeton Architectural Press / Moleskine Books , November 2019 Hardcover | 5 x 8-1/4 inches | 144 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1616898656 | $24.95 Publisher's Description : Paul Rudolph (1918-1997) authored some of Modernism's most powerful designs and served as an influential educator while chair of Yale's School of Architecture. His early residential work in Sarasota, Florida, garnered international attention, and his later exploration of Brutalist materials and forms, most famously embodied in his Yale Art & Architecture Building (1963), earned Rudolph both notoriety and acclaim. Many of the dynamic drawings included in this collection--selected from the architect's archive housed in the Library of Congress --illustrate his highly emotive hand and deft drafting skill. They include his designs for Tuskegee University Chapel, Interama, Lower Manhattan Expressway, his analysis of M

Wider sidewalks and new street trees are in the works for the iconic 1.3-mile corridor. [...] A new website offers a look at design concepts for the Hollywood Walk of Fame's new master plan - a core component City Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell's Heart of Hollywood initiative. LA's major tourist draw, the iconic Walk of Fame along a section of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, has experienced nearly six decades of transformation and could be up for a major overhaul soon. The Heart of Hollywood initiative of Los Angeles Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell recently published a concept plan with further details and designs aiming to drastically improve the Walk of Fame's pedestrian experience. Image: Gensler, via the Hollywood Walk of Fame concept plan for Heart of Hollywood. "An 'enhanced complete street' concept has emerged as the favored alternative for the project, which, if implemented, would remove street parking and some automobile travel la
