House of Arts and Culture

beirut_tileHere is a first look at some of the entries for Competition Competition 2010.

As the number of applicants continues to grow, we have been able to find multiple entries for the same competition.  It has been really cool seeing the different designs people have come up with.

Today is a look at some who have entered their design for the House of Arts and Culture in Beirut, Lebanon.

According to the competition site, the building ‘will be accessible and highly visible. Its architecture and the dynamism and vitality of its program and events would turn it into a magnet for the Lebanese and the Arabs. It will project Beirut in the art community and become a leading place of the Arab World.’

Did you compete in this competition as well? Submit it to Competition Competition 2010!

Field Trip

Liberty-TileThe last time I went to the Statue of Liberty was in 2nd grade. It was fun, I guess.

I was in no rush to go back.

Yesterday I took a cold ferry ride out there with Marc Tsurumaki from LTL Architects with our studio from Columbia GSAPP. I have to admit, the copper lady really blew me away. It’s not that she is so big or so beautiful,  it’s more how she is put together, the intricacy of her construction and the sheer craziness of her standing there bolted into 27,000 tons of concrete and granite.

Seeing her up close, basically looking up her robe, revealed something shockingly beautiful in a construction that I have seen thousands of time. read more

Queens Pole Dance

so-il_cardLike a beacon of hope on a cold winter’s day, the announcement last week that SO-IL was the winner of the annual Young Architects Program competition to design the courtyard space at P.S.1, in Queens, came as a sign that, eventually, it would once again be warm in New York.

Not only does the design remind us of warm summer days soaking up good beats, good art and good beer, but it also confirms that architecture can be fun, and low-cost to boot!

SO-IL uploaded the project on Architizer today.  Check it out!

Click through for more images and a super-fun video courtesy of the winners. read more
