"The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home has a devilish history: White recorded the White Stripes' 2005 album "Get Behind Me Satan" in its grand staircase and foyer. The home is listed at $930,000." Here is the interesting detail: "The master bedroom was hand-painted by White." I wonder if that means he just gave it a fresh coat or if there is any artwork.

Benvindo Rafael, aqui vai encontrar muitos amigos e os teus valores são semelhantes ao nosso! Agora vamos lá debater arquitectura!

Legalmente as obras são portuguesas se feitas por um português, empresa portuguesa, atelier português ou outro desde que registado em território nacional. Por muito que a nossa equipa seja multi-cultural está registada em Portugal e é esse registo que conta para - por exemplo - a participação em concursos. Existem é casos de filhos de emigrantes, dupla nacionalidade ou de permanência num país de acolhimento por bastante tempo em que apenas se tratará de uma questão "moral" (se assim posso dizer) da pessoa escolher a nacionalidade que se sente melhor. No entanto será sempre dito "o arquitecto francês residente em Portugal à mais de 15 anos" nos jornais. Portanto a Serpentine Gallery é uma obra feita por portugueses no estrangeiro. Provavelmente para ser considerada arquitectura contemporânea portuguesa teria de seguir padrões históricos recentes e esses são feitos pelos historiadores de arquitectura, até porque a equipa nacional com certeza adaptou o seu estilo ao londrino.

Cidade inundada pela poluição ou fog ocasional? Contudo não deixa de ter um toque de poético, como arranha-céus em algodão doce.

A company of architecture of Barcelona and a group of aircraft engineers of Florida (EUA) are developing a prototype of room of space hotel, baptized like Galactic Suite, so that the tourists and astronauts who are decided to travel to the space have a site where to lodge. The hotel has aspect of cluster of grapes and a central nucleus similar to a satellite they leave the rooms in form of capsule and with a great large window to contemplate the outside, according to explained to Efe Xavier Claramunt, person in charge of Equip Claramunt, integrated by some thirty people who for a year have been working in the project. Galactic Suite has been inspired by the nature and the basic growth, and the idea of cluster of grapes arose after analyzing some alive systems. The rooms have 7 meters in length by 4 of stop and in the interior, without angles nor air lines, single there are protuberances in the perimeter so that the user is reconciled them to eat, to sleep or to watch the space through the great large windows, “because the important thing is to float in freedom observing the outside”. 360 degrees of freedom According to Claramunt explained, the idea arose something ago more of a year, when it began to speak of the tourist trips to the space, because the study of architects is very tie to the sector of hostelería. “The challenge of this new tourism - it assured animated to us to study how it would have to be a space hotel and to give a new vision of I+D in the field of the architecture”. In order to adapt the project to the reality they contacted with a group of engineers of EUA that work in space subjects to learn on materials and space measures, since an important part is how the hotel in the space and of what is placed make the capsules. Galactic Suite has been inspired by the nature and the basic growth, and the idea of cluster of grapes arose after analyzing some alive systems. One of the main contributions of the design is that it is devised so that the alive man in 360 degrees in freedom and without the traditional concepts of it arrives-down or right-left. Capacity: 22 capsules The study has scale models and models by computer of the hotel and the materials with which it would be constructed, and now look for that some hotel partnership or of travel agencies is interested in the idea to develop a prototype to real size. In addition, the clusters of capsules could be adding through common spaces for the users, that they would act like reception of the hotel, bar and restaurant. Xavier Claramunt explained that the positioning of the hotel in the space would take place from the Earth with space shuttles Challenger, and by his present measures in each trip they would be possible to be taken up to three rooms, that would be reconciled with a crane to the central nucleus, with capacity for 22 capsules. In addition, the clusters of capsules could be adding through common spaces for the users, that they would act like reception of the hotel, bar and restaurant. The study also works now in the suits that could use the new space tourists to manage to be static at the time of developing certain functions, and the way to pay attention through velcro or similar systems of adhesion, and also they study physical situations related to the gravity or the absence of sound. Although in some countries already there are works related to the man in the space, the Spanish architects are convinced that this one is the first global project of this type from the hostelero and tourist point of view. Although still they do not have a determined client, but the security of which are potentials, the designers are convinced that it exists a necessity from the social point of view and an opportunity from the commercial point of view. In addition to Galactic Suite, the Equip Xavier Claramunt also works in other projects like the development of four commercial centers in Beijing and diverse hotels in China. In Spain, the company, been in Barcelona, writes up projects for companies like Hospes, Chic&Basic, BMW, Phases (Ferran Adriá), Cosmic or Damm. Fonte: 20minutos.es

Parabéns ao que terminaram, aos que entraram e força para os que ainda vão continuar!

Desde que citem sempre as devidas fontes :s

Benvindo cardo! Com certeza os teus colegas te ajudarão com a legislação. Entretanto bom projecto!

Scene: “Architectural Wonder”: You are standing on a vantage point overlooking the most impressive example of architecture you have ever seen. The aesthetics seem to speak to you and you have to wonder about those who created such an impressive masterpiece. The forms and spatial hierarchy seem classical, alluding to some great historical wonder of the world, yet the materials and construction techniques seem to be appropriate to the 21st century. Assignment: Digitally create in 3D an “Architectural Wonder” that portrays that which is inspirational about architecture and touches us on some subconscious level. You may abstract an existing architectural marvel, but not duplicate it, and digitally construct it using contemporary materials and construction techniques. You may use your imagination and create what you think is an architectural marvel, and create something completely new and unique. Whichever path you choose to take, the architecture alluded to must be constructible with today’s technology and be inhabitable/occupied/populated by humans, such as in one of the following building type examples: a residence, a place of business, a medical facility, an educational institution, a place of worship, a palace, or a seat of government. Addendum #1: The intro paragraph is to establish a sense of wonder and a context for the artist, it was not meant to limit contestants to classical forms, but to allude to the 8th wonder of the world type structure. The goal is to create an architectural icon so to speak using new or old forms in the context of modern construction techniques and materials in whatever vocabulary the artist believes makes it a 'wonder to behold'. Of course historic structures come to mind since they are socially and psychologically linked in our minds as architectural marvels, but the artist has the creative license to redefine that concept with their own design, basically creating something grand and well designed that captures the viewer’s imagination. The final image should be a wonder to behold, while being in character with the practice of architectural visualization and represent up to date construction techniques and materials. The scene is to be a new piece of work for this contest. No pre-made/purchased models or images, with the exception of architectural entourage such as people, cars and plant life. In addition commercial textures and shaders are acceptable. Photos of existing buildings etc. are to be used at a minimum and only as backgrounds; the majority of the work in the image is to be digitally created in 3D by you. Background art digitally created in 2D by the artist is preferred over digital photos and may actually be taken into special consideration as long as the majority of the work is in 3D. Hints: This is an architectural themed contest; entourage and characters while adding to the scene should not be the focal point and detract from the architectural imagery. This is supposed to be a marvel to behold; a large structure with civic spaces such as a plaza is more inspirational than a custom home on a hill. With that being said, a beautifully designed villa may be more inspirational than a large glass box. Use your design talents to create something exciting and thought provoking. No matter how well done, a small to medium sized interior space is probably not going to be as exciting as an expansive exterior shot of the same caliber. If you choose to do an interior space it should probably be very grand and demonstrate great architecture and not great furnishings. Prizes: Please use the following link to view an up to date list of the prizes. Prizes and awarded positions may be increased, but not decreased. We reserve the right in case of un-foreseen complications to substitute the prizes with similar prizes. Prizes are at the following location: PRIZE PAGE Contest Process: This Contest will be a WIP (Work in Progress) Contest.
