The Superdanish

At the turn of the 21st century, architect Rem Koolhaas was, needless to say, a big deal. Making a name for himself on a global level with SMLXL (coupled with a handful of award-winning projects), Koolhaas became a prominent figure in both the professional and academic worlds. Bart Lootsma felt that other innovative Dutch architects should [...]

Umbrellas of Cordoba

What does €3.26 million buy in southern Spain? Well, if you hire ParedesPino Arquitectos, you get an urban installation pretty enough to swoon over and functional enough to serve as sun shade and outdoor market.
The Centro Abierto de Actividades Ciudadanas (CAAC) project in Córdoba, Spain is a large-scale installation of prefabricated circular elements that vary [...]

Gateway to the High Line

The second phase of the High Line Park is set to open in mid-2011, complete with lawns, decks, transparent bridges (yikes!) and other bells and whistles. The best part of the first phase of the railroad-trestle-turned-post-industrial-green was its unparalleled views onto vibrant new architecture mixed between Chelsea warehouses. When the next phase opens, Della Valle Bernheimer’s 245 Tenth (along [...]

The Sensualist

The high ceilings, elegant interiors and super-tall windows of the 16-story Selldorf Architects-designed 200 Eleventh Avenue are fit for any magazine spread. Not to mention a celebrity ratio that assumes the space is opulent, if not very, very liveable (Nicole Kidman, ahem).
The tower features a slightly undulating façade in stainless steel and terra cotta which looks better [...]

Ennead & New Identities

Tropicana’s customers (and/or design geeks) rebelled against new, sterilized packaging, but at least the the name stayed the same. And when the Sci-fi channel was rebranded ”SyFy,” one couldn’t tell any change was made when the name is said aloud (despite that atrocious spelling).
Polshek Partnership’s switch to Ennead Architects is of course more dramatic than both of [...]

Lord of the Bus Terminal

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no! It’s a bus… station.
Austin-Smith: Lord sent over these fantastical renderings for a proposed bus station project in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The firm didn’t end up winning the commission (that would be Grimshaw Architects), but they did place over other contenders (Zaha Hadid, Wilkinson Eyre, John McAslan + Partners, and BDP) [...]

REX in the USA

Is anyone building bolder in America than REX?
Recently the Governor of Kentucky announced that the firm’s three-legged tower, the ”Museum Plaza” in Louisville, was back on the table (a $100 million federal loan pending). If funding is approved in this tough economy, the 62-story skyscraper would be revived, yet again, after its original concept from 2005.
In addition to creating  jobs, the [...]

SO-IL Dances On

Solid Objectives—Idenburg Liu’s (SO-IL) new Pole Dance certainly has New York talking.
The “dance” began last month at the MoMA P.S.1 in Queens as the winning entry to the Young Architects Program, these youngins being Florian Idenburg and Jung Liu. “A deliberately cheap and shaky affair,” Justin Davidson writes in New York Magazine, “it comes as a relief [...]

Smaller, Better, Stronger, Lighter

With a light footprint on the landscape of Portland, Connecticut, SplitFrame is a new wildlife viewing platform. Its observation deck rises and falls with seasonal changes in water levels and connects to an elevated viewing station by a hinged staircase. Using American Cypress for benches, aluminum structural components and (only) hand-held power-tools, Wesleyan University’s North Studio [...]

Animal vs. Human

It may come as a surprise to learn that HOK and Arup, two of the largest architecture and engineering firms in the world, are looking towards animals and insects for inspiration on how to build a better building.
While HOK is studying rainforests in search of better roofing, architect Mick Pearce (with Arup) constructed a building in Zimbabwe a [...]
