Vernier Stadium in Switzerland by STENDARDO MENNINGEN ARCHITECTES

Thursday, June 20th, 2019

Article source: STENDARDO MENNINGEN ARCHITECTES

Following a sharp increase in the demand for sports facilities, the Vernier Stadium, located in Geneva mandated our firm to design and deliver the extension of the changing rooms.

Facing the playing field, the extension of the building is located on the ground floor and contains 12 changing room and all the necessary facilities.

The building reveals the repetition of the premises it hosts and expresses the simplicity and rationality of its implementation. A unifying cover opens generously on the sports fields and distributions all the locker rooms. It serves multiple purposes such as providing an area of fluid passageway, a convenient meeting point and an area for shade in the summer time. It is the link between the entire building.

Church St. Ana in Rijeka, Croatia by Urbis d.o.o.

Thursday, June 20th, 2019

Article source: Urbis d.o.o. 

The context of the project is already contained in the same title of the project task: Church St. Ana and Social center Vežica. This public and social context is only enhanced by the presence of a school in direct contact with the location of the project, but also the park that connects everything, and functions as a certain 'green spine'. The church is therefore in direct dialogue with the social center and park, so the project puts emphasis on these two spatial relations by means of an 'atrium' and a 'porch', two strong architectural elements trough which a place becomes a 'position'.

Rain House —— The Carpenter’s House in Chongqing, China by Describing Architecture Studio

Wednesday, June 19th, 2019

Article source: Describing Architecture Studio 

The rolling hills in the east of Chongqing have always been a remarkable landscape, but presented serious traffic problems then. The newly constructed roads in the past 20 years successfully negotiated their way through this area and met its residents’ traveling needs.

Road-upgrade was not the only change. What the residents are enjoying now are increasing income, subsidies, tap water, natural gas, and Internet, despite the fact that broadcasting programs introducing welfare policies as well as offering get-rich tips still serve as a vivid reminder of hardships 30 years ago.

Article source: AFFD Space Design 

A good space resembles a slowly opened book, with its colorful plot, intriguing story, and layers of changes. It generates an unknown environment which not connected to individual consciousness, cultural standard, and personal experience. It is delicate and subtle, yet users would be able to echo its sentiment.

Upon stepping into the space, the arch is built into a circle. Three quarters were outside, while the last quarter remains indoor. They not only echo respond to each other, but also embrace new visitors.

Gaobu Book House in China by Condition_Lab

Wednesday, June 19th, 2019

Article source: Condition_Lab 

A children’s library for a dong minority rural village.

The Gaobu Book House serves the 2,500 people of Gaobu Village, one of the Dong minority villages in China. Like many other Chinese villages, Gaobu Village is challenged by “village-hollowing” in which the working-age population migrate. The Dong Minority community of China possess a unique cultural heritage rooted in land and customs.  After surviving hundreds of years, modernization today poses a serious threat to Dong’s identity.

Rather than accepting urban migration as a given, this project aims to restore dignity and induce development by proposing a small children’s library project.  Playing and curiosity come natural to children, hence our design generates an “active” architecture that allows children to engage and absorb knowledge through playing.
