Anni Kuan brochure, bag

Newsprint catalogue for New York fashion designer Anni Kuan, utilizing a widely distributed plastic bag shrinkewrapped to our newsprint catalogue. The designers of the bagdid not trust New Yorkers to grasp the meaning of "I heart NY" and have helpfully provided the word "love" inside the heart. Just to make sure they also forged the "o" of "love" into a heart shape. This bag has recently been voted "the most stupid design of New York" by an informal gettogether of New York designers.The catalog show's Anni's clothing in front of her favorite New York locations.

CARRILHO DA GRAÇA VENCE CONCURSO INTERNACIONAL VILLA GALO-ROMANA

noreply@blogger.com (de Ferreira Malhão) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 13:36:00 +0000

Carrilho da graça vence concurso internacional por pré-selecção para projecto de protecção e musealização do pólo arqueológico “villa galo-romana” em séviac, montreal du gers, frança

o primeiro prémio do concurso internacional por pré-selecção para projecto de protecção e musealização da villa galo-romana de séviac, em montréal du gers, frança, foi atribuído ao arquitecto joão luís carrilho da graça.
“(...) un projet qui met en place un dispositif de protection et ne fait pas référence à une typologie connue. c’est un dispositif technique avec sa propre logique, dispositif d’aspect homogène qui crée un événement qui n’est pas en concurrence avec les vestiges mais redonne à lire l’emprise de la villa et son importance. Evènement : profiter de l’occasion pour que l’architecture contemporaine ait droit de cité dans le gers.
architecture qui va jouer par contraste de façon très forte. situation privilégiée qui permet au contraste de fonctionner. peut devenir un outil de communication : c’est une vrai valeur ajoutée. (...)”
relatório do juri

o concurso internacional por pré-selecção promovido pelo s.i.v.u. elusa-séviac oferece a oportunidade de criar um sistema de protecção das ruínas da villa, na qual os elementos mais importantes são os pavimentos em mosaico.
a villa galo-romana de séviac, localizada na região midi-pirénées em montreal du gers, foi inicialmente descoberta no século XIX e é monumento classificado desde 1978.
as escavações realizadas nas ultimas quatro décadas colocaram a descoberto uma estrutura de villa romana que teve o seu maior desenvolvimento no baixo império romano nos séculos III e IV d.c.

conceito
a proposta caracteriza-se pela a criação de um volume, uma cobertura que flutua e se dissolve no ar, sobre o planalto onde se localiza a villa galo-romana.
a sua geometria resulta da necessidade de protecção das zonas mais sensíveis da villa com pavimentos em mosaicos.
este carácter abstracto enfatiza um pressuposto desejado - a forma da cobertura afasta-se de qualquer semelhança com o pré-existente, de modo a criar uma clara clivagem e emancipar o valor das ruínas romanas.

espaço
a cobertura, colocada a 2,5m do pavimento acentua a subtil depressão existente no terreno resultante das escavações arqueológicas. desta forma, a irregularidade dos vestígios arqueológicos é colocada em evidência relativamente ao plano translúcido e contínuo da cobertura.

estrutura
os apoios da cobertura são cirurgicamente posicionados não interferindo com áreas de pavimento em mosaico e suportam um sistema de treliças metálicas com uma altura média de 2m, envolto em tela translúcida, o que permite sugerir uma atmosfera volátil mas simultaneamente consistente.
um outro volume em vidro envolve uma construção realizada no final do século XX. neste espaço localizado antes da entrada da villa e ao longo da antiga estrada romana funcionará o espaço de recepção e introdução ao tema - villa
galo-romana de séviac.

WHAT A SHELTER

noreply@blogger.com (de Ferreira Malhão) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 07:39:00 +0000

New York-based architecture and design firm 0 to 1 recently completed a project called "Artist Retreat." Located in Fiskars, Finland—an artist-centric village of scissors fame—the private guest house was commissioned

by a Finnish fine artist as a live/work space for a guest a

rtist.

The sectional shape [the yellow quadrilateral at the end] is a quarter of an octagon. It increases in size from building front to back creating a utilit

y cube with sleeping loft above at the higher end, a work space in the middle and an outdoor terrace at the lower end.

According to 0 to 1, "the form was generated from local climate, Finnish culture, and functions / guidelines provided by the Artist."

It's certainly a compelling structure—almost furniture-like in form, constructed from impeccable materials—yet I can't help but wonder about how much of the interior actually functions as a studio—i.e. there's a reason why artists prefer warehouses and lofts.

Wallpaper house, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Claudio Vilarinho Architects

We chose 5 rocks on the ground and from them, through circles with the center of the rock itself, we designed the house. Thus, each facade is oriented towards a rock, correlated very strong gesture in the spirit of the place.

Other factors of relationship and integration with the landscape, are the green cover and the materiality of the entire volume (wooden stakes and granite abroad, both from the place).
By opening interior panels, the user can configure the interior of the house in one continuous space.

Japanese House

noreply@blogger.com (de Ferreira Malhão) — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:03:00 +0000

This house in Urayasu, Japan, by Apollo Architects & Associates has a timber-clad sloping overhang containing a private terrace.

Called Flow, the house’s main entrance and garage are shielded by a fence of horizontal slats and sit under the inclined facade.

The bedrooms and a kennel are on the ground floor, connected to a narrow terrace that runs along the side of the house.

The first floor is a long open-plan space that houses the kitchen, living and dining areas with storage and facilities enclosed in a glazed unit.

The sloping concrete overhang that contains the private terrace bounces light into the first floor rooms.

This terrace also has an external staircase leading up to a roof garden.

All photographs are by Masao Nishikawa.

Here some more from the architects:

FLOW

A “two-generation” house located near the sea.

The owner requested a garage for two cars and a house that allows for light and air to pour in to let the family relax while also securing privacy.

The inclined exterior that looms over the visitor with its stark contrast of concrete and wood, playfully gives shape to the owner’s minimalist outlook on design.

The volume balance between the main building and the garage covered with a louver roof has also been planned carefully.

The distinguishing exterior that shines among the rest of the architecture in the new residential area that tends to lack in personality, makes full use of the characteristics of the site to secure a visual expansion in the interior spaces while being closed off to the outside world.

On the ground floor, private rooms for family members and the dog are connected with a terrace that penetrates the external wall in a straight line.

The main characteristic of this house in terms of plan is the misalignment of the ground and first floors.

The first floor has been designed so that the living room, dining room, kitchen, lounge, terrace and even the roof-top garden are connected in succession at a congenial distance.

The diagonal terrace, is not only effective in making the interiors appear more spacious and in bringing in light while simultaneously securing privacy but also allows for a view of the sky.

Kitchen equipment and the refrigerator are built into the walls, so that the space loses the appearance of a kitchen.

Areas requiring water such as the kitchen and the bathroom are clustered together in an all-in-one space compartmentalized by a glass wall that makes the space appear more spacious while also inducing a hotel-like atmosphere.

House 078

noreply@blogger.com (de Ferreira Malhão) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:30:00 +0000

Here's one project that I found, is not a famous one, but I really liked it! architecture is more than the magazine's projects.

Terrassa, Spain

A project by: HARQUITECTES

"The staircase becomes the main point of the layout of the house and leads to the upper floor, where the parlour and terrace/courtyard are. Therefore we go up the noble area avoiding the painting workshop and the bedrooms, which are on the ground floor and the first floor respectively. At the same time an entrance of zenith light is created which lights up the interiors rooms of the housing.

The facade, which is made of white lime plasterwork and plywood waterproofing panels, reminds the facades of the old houses of the area, where the fullness is predominant rather than the emptiness and where the opening compositions are apparently fortuitous. The appearance of workable elements on the facade, such as the access door to the car park or the shutters, fades to get a heavier and homogeneous facade and it only stands out because of a change in size and material of the housing entrance. The mass feeling disappears when it gets the last floor and it minimizes the volumetric impact on a traditionally lower area. As a result we have a massive building and a changing composition which fits into the old houses of the street."

Rarely working from the point of view of the impartial outsider, his work reveals a porous sensitivity to his subject that

Melanzane alla Parmigiana

noreply@blogger.com (de Ferreira Malhão) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:53:00 +0000

Ingredients:

Olive oil
Garlic
2 Onions
6 Tomatoes
3 Eggplants
Grazed Buffala Mozarella
Parmigiano scrapes
Fresh basil

Cut the eggplants as slices, temper with salt and drain in for an hour.
Meanwhile, make the napolitano sauce. Put the onion and the chopped garlic over the olive oil already heated,let it smother and add the tomatoes cut in little pieces. Temper with salt, black pepper and some fresh basil leaves.

Let it cook and end up grinding homogeneously the mass.Put aside.
