Architreasure Weekly #4 - Yanko Design
This is our fourth installment in the series, which means nosotros've washed this for a whole month! This week nosotros've been bestowed with some truly amazing pieces of architectural work as Architizer's A+ Awards come to a wrap. Aslope some of our favorite picks from everywhere, we'll also showcase a few YD favorites from the A+ Awards this year!
1. It may involvement you to know that one of the most prolific architects of our time, Moshe Safdie, responsible for the Habitat 67 (which we covered before this calendar week), and the Holocaust Museum… is on Behance! Yeah, his works are up on the portfolio site, and this i's picked right from in that location. Known to work extensively with exposed concrete, Safdie Architects designed the National Gallery of Canada using the Brutalist manner he's well known for. He besides makes extensive use of drinking glass to make sure the building achieves two things. That it makes maximum utilize of natural calorie-free during the day, and looks like an absolute lit-up jewel at dark!
ii. From the grand works of Safdie, to the quaint prefab homes by Kodasema. This tiny 25 square-meter apartment has everything you need and comes fully ready to live in. It too boasts of an additional feature. It can be completely disassembled, transported, and reassembled elsewhere in a 24-hour interval! Read our cover on the Kodasema here.
3. Designer Dennis Palmadessa partnered with Neighborhood Services of New Orleans and the Get in Right Foundation to create these pre-fab single-room shops for local vendors. Sliding doors and privacy glasses make sure that vendors get a good deal of infinite, along with privacy, to carry their daily business. Titled the URBANbuild-8, they be every bit prototypes for future intervention in New Orleans.
4. We thought the Aurlios Chapel had to be 1 for the Architreasure books. Designed by Metro Cúbico Digital, this abstracted version of what traditional chapels look like is certain an center-catcher. Iconic on the outside and hallowed on the within, the steeple design actually channels the sunlight to smoothen every bit a glorious beam, making the chantry look divine!
v. Nosotros kick off our A+ Honor fave list with the Bahá'í Temple of South America past Hariri Pontarini Architects. Known for being a very neutral and all-around religion, Bahá'í temples act as places of spirituality rather than propagating religious beliefs. Designed for everyone, religious or athiest, from all cultures and walks of life, the temple takes the shape of a airtight blossom bud emanating from the globe. The use of low-cal as a sign of life and natural spirit looks brilliant equally rays emanate from within the 'folds' of the bud afterward dusk.
vi. The Poly International Plaza by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) is a definite visual and structural all rounder, the geometric blueprint isn't only overwhelmingly iconic but serves every bit a smart support organisation for the floors higher up and below along with extended free voids, forming expanded shared coming together rooms & rather admirable curved staircases on the inside. In addition to the way the building looks, it also has a direct view of Beijing during the mean solar day & functionally helps in cutting downwardly energy consumption due to indoor insulation.
seven. This temporary installation should only get points for its brilliant initiative! Designed past Atelier Kastelic Buffey, this community driven lending library titled Story Pod allows people to step into the pod and subsequently into a earth of their own imagination when they pick upward a book to read. Situated right in the celebrated downtown core of Newmarket, Ontario, the pod'south design attracts passersby from afar, and in one case up close, who tin can truly resist the temptation to step inside and read a good book!?
eight. Surrounded by the near avant-garde looking fruit packaging warehouses lies a man-made specially curated environmental courtyard known as the Washington Fruit Visitor. The space is not just cost efficient courtesy design and cloth pick, but also a controlled set up for perfect natural lighting. Designed to reflect modernity, yet accept inspiration from an aging befouled that the customer had expressed every bit a favorite, this Graham Baba designed warehouse certainly breaks stereotypes of warehouses looking 'tiresome' and un-designed!
9. If a warehouse tin can be made to look warm and friendly, so can a depository financial institution! The Sugamo Shinkin Bank / Nakaaoki Co-operative, past Emmanuelle Moureaux Compages + Blueprint completely diverts from the stern/no-nonsense aesthetic avatars of banking buildings. Designed to look fun, vibrant, and inviting, the banking concern branch makes utilize of a 3D front facade that looks different from each bending, and memorable for certain!
10. We decided to end on a high note with a blueprint that has a hypnotic, helical, organic charm that fondly reminds united states of the Guggenheim Museum. The Ribbon Chapel by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP stands proudly enjoying a panoramic view of Seto Inland Ocean in Onomichi, Hiroshima. Used mainly for weddings, the chapel's construction is visually dominated by the ii ribbon-like screw staircases/aisles, with glass panels filling in the gaps, creating the chapel's hall-space on the within. The two aisles/pathways are designed then that the helpmate and the groom can walk up to the pinnacle of the chapel, and descend downwardly into the hall together united equally 1. What a lovely way to employ architecture to guide human move, that too with such meaningful and visual grace!
