Article source: ATELIER XI The CloudLand Tourist Service Center is located in Cloud Garden, a community park in the Science and Technology District in Nanshan, Shenzhen. Adjacent to the surrounding high-rise office buildings, the CloudLand extends itself horizontally into a linear set of open spaces that provide various leisure services for visitors and locals. In the beginning, the architect was invited to design a pavilion for visitors based on the new landscape planning of the park. Due to the tight project schedule, the steel-structure framework was used to shorten the on-site construction procedure. As a result, the project was opened to the public eight months after the initial commission.  Image Courtesy © Zhang Chao

Article source: S Design Farm The site is pentagon-shaped sitting on a corner surrounded by roads in three directions. The stream that flows nearby and the road that extends straight to the site allow the wind to blow through, but at the same time, many people and cars pass by, so we needed to think about privacy. In addition, it is an area with a risk of flooding and a plan that also serves as flood control was required. Therefore, we created cross-sectional “void” that brings light and wind to the inside also securing the flow line for people and car while parrying water, corresponding to elements such as “light, wind, people, cars and water” that surrounds the site.

Article source: Itsik Niv We all dream of starting and ending the day in a pleasant home. One that is well designed, cozy and meets all our needs, desires, and preferences. For the owners of this property, the dream became a reality. Thanks to Architect Itsik Niv, who skillfully created an experiential living environment deep in the heart of one of the most pastoral villages in the Sharon region, Israel. This is a glimpse into a modern, immaculate, and cozy home that is truly inspiring. This property is owned by a family of six – a couple in their 50s and their four 20-something children. It was built on an estate in one of the Sharon region villages and is the perfect realization of the owners’ dream: a one level living space that is weaved into its pastoral surrounding views and offers a cozy and pleasant living experience for the entire family.

Article source: Kwong Von Glinow House, Some of This, Some of That serves as both the formal name for a retreat in a forested clearing as well as an architectural approach to space-making for a young family with two children. The starting point for the retreat begins with nine T-shaped volumes that house all the utility, storage, and wet spaces. Positioned on a grid, the nine T-shaped volumes rotate relative to each other to create uniquely shaped spaces for the family room, dining room, kitchen, office, library, reading room, and bedrooms, and give a sense of spatial differentiation for each within the open plan. At the same, the specific arrangement of the Ts allows for visual access across the house from one end to the other and out towards the surrounding forested view. This planar organization liberates the floorplan from a reliance on walls to define separate rooms and instead uses shapely elements that concentrate back of house spaces – the Ts – to internally organize a fully open space with soft divisions within.

Article source: Brengues Le Pavec architectes The posed effect is a recurrent feature of the agency. It affirms the reading of well-defined volumes. The project is the superimposition of a relatively opaque volume placed on a wall. The living space located on the ground floor is completely hollowed out, thus offering itself generously to the garden. The long stone wall structures the entire house, becoming the common denominator between interior and exterior. This wall, located to the north, provides protection against prevailing winds and provides the necessary privacy from the street. It is animated outside by the swimming pool, inside by the stove and the metal staircase. Inside, the floor is pierced with skylights, offering height and natural light to the living room. The rooms have terraces, filtered by a succession of sliding aluminum panels on the front. The choice of raw materials such as stone and wood creates a warm and soothing.

Article source: DJA Science center’s VIZIUM exposition Lab City is made as a combination of science and contemporary design with its own strong identity. White space creates associations with the laboratory or spacecraft of the future and is an equally attractive environment for discovering the magic of science for both children and adults. At the same time, the space created in one style differs in each gallery with the spatial experience and the shape of the volumes. The proposed color of the walls and exhibits is mainly black and white to allow the light, multimedia technologies and their colorful content to stand out.

Article source: HIBINOSEKKEI + Youji no Shiro + PURE&PRACTICE ‘Primary and secondary schools for education towards sustainable development.’ This is a project to build a new public primary and secondary school for children aged 7 to 15 in Luohu District, Shenzhen, China. The themes of the new schools were what the ‘future’ should look like for children and how they should learn for the ‘future’. In order to achieve a sustainable society, education for sustainable development (ESD) has been a focus in education in recent years. ESD requires learning that encourages deep learning in a proactive and interactive way about contemporary society and one’s own problems, and the use of high-tech is not the only ‘future’, but awareness of low-tech and environmental issues can lead to a sustainable society. In this project, the place to learn about this is considered to be the ‘School of the Future’, and based on the design concept of a ‘diverse learning place with nature and communication at its core’, the following methods were used to achieve a school that encourages independent thinking and learning among the students.

CTN’s house in Montpellier, France by BRENGUES LE PAVEC ARCHITECTESSeptember 30th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: BRENGUES LE PAVEC ARCHITECTES The compact and opaque typology of the buildings of the original house did not take advantage of the landscaping quality offered by the immediate proximity of a public park. To meet the need for expansion, the agency recommended that the house be renovated by occupying the night area, giving it more intimate spaces, and designing a contrasting extension, by means of a very open volume for the day spaces. The installation of a narrow extension has been designed to occupy all the exterior. This layout generates a clearer reading and identifies spaces, such as the new entrance to the north, or the pool to the south.  Image Courtesy © Marie-Caroline Lucat
