A segunda (que é aqui apresentada) resolve custos e tempos de montagem partindo de um modelo pré-fabricado de madeira igual ao existente noutro espaço da escola. Através de uma espécie de Matta-Clarking contemporâneo, rasgam-se as “novas aberturas contra velhas superfícies”, transformando um modelo seriado em site-specific.

The Book Just a quick note that I've been working nonstop on The BLDGBLOG Book, the complete manuscript of which is due ASAP, so this might be a slow week for new posts. I'm having a blast, though – and I can't wait to get this thing out there. So bear with me... And I'll start posting again soon. I'll keep the Quick Links going, meanwhile – so do come back for those. More soon! Ler artigo...

Simulated Environments for Animals [image: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. These are some plans for a new zoological park in Vincennes, France, designed by Paris architects Beckmann N'Thepe. The project is noteworthy for, among other things, its use of what could be called simulated geology. [image: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. These artificial earthforms will contain simulated environments within which animals will live. The whole complex will encompass 15 hectares and six "biozones," and it will run partly on solar power. [image: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. The park's "biozones" include the savannah, the equatorial African rain forest, Patagonia, French Guiana, Madagascar, and Europe. [image: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. So the zoo – like all zoos, of course – will be a simulation intended for animals. Zoos, in other words, are a particularly bizarre form of trans-species communication, attempted on the level of architecture and landscape design. They're like hieroglyphs that animals inhabit – spaces defined entirely by their ability to refer to something they are not. [images: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. More information, if you read French, is available in this PDF. [image: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. And I have to say that the renderings of this place look pretty cool. But why do we only build zoos like this? Why not suburbs or college campuses? You mold landforms out of reinforced concrete, and you install artificial waterfalls and fake rivers, and you grow rare orchids under the cover of geodesic domes. And then your grandkids can grow up in a savannah-themed suburb outside Orlando. The next town over, kids run around through giant fern trees, chasing parrots. Perhaps themed biozones are the future of suburban design? [image: The Zoo de Vincennes, by Beckmann N'Thepe]. Google opens a new administrative complex outside London – on the grounds of a former zoo. Your "cubicle" is partly outside. Hidden nozzles mist your neck on every lunch break.

Project Runway A recent landscape design competition sought to rethink the Vatnsmýri airport grounds in Reykjavík, Iceland, putting those old runways to use, for instance, as new urban park space. The entries to the competition are quite interesting, in fact, so I've posted some of them, below, focusing on one particular project at the end of this post (so please scroll down if you've already read about this competition). First, then, here's the old Vatnsmýri airport and its earthen geometry of intersecting runways. This is the site – star-like and stretching out to its surrounding landscapes – within which the designers had to work. [images: The Vatnsmýri airport grounds, Reykjavík, Iceland. Photos courtesy of the Reykjavík City Planning Committee]. And here are some of the project entries, which I have posted in order, from shortlisted entries through to the big prize winners – but I have selected them on the purely superficial criterion of my own visual interest. Some of these projects, including two grand prize winners, are, I'm sure, absolutely fascinating, but small JPGs of their proposals simply don't give you very much to work with. So, with genuine apologies to those designers whose work does not appear here, take a look at some of the entries. [image: By Alexander D'Hooghe, et al.]. [image: By Antonello Boatti, Birgir Breiðdal, and Nicola Ferrara]. [image: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. [image: By Rolf J. Teloh, et al.]. [image: By Thomas Forget and Jonathan F. Bell]. [image: By Andrés Perea Ortega, et al.]. [image: By Beatriz Ramo, et al.]. [image: By Peer T. Jeppesen, et al.]. [image: By Belinda Kerry, Andrew Lee, Fiona Harrisson, and Blake F. Bowers]. [image: By Manuel Lodi, et al.]. [image: By Jeff Turko, Guðjón Þór Erlendsson, Dagmar Sirch, and Sibyl Trigg]. [image: By Graeme Massie, Stuart Dickson, Alan Keane, and Tim Ingleby]. And now I want to zero-in on one of the projects. Here, then, is a quick exploration of a shortlisted entry by Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White of the Toronto-based firm Lateral Architecture. [image: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. Their project begins, we read, "by establishing 'no-build' zones or public landscapes. The figure of the runway is used to identify three primary axes. Each former runway is converted into a 'greenway' that uses a quality of the city as its primary trait." [images: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. The greenways are then given new programs, or functions, which the architects define as Ecology, Recreation, and Production. The Ecology greenway, for instance, "is conceived of as a dot-matrix of cellular ecosystems, organic rooms, landscape surfaces of hard and softscape, gardens and pools." [images: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. The Production greenway, which I like quite a lot, has been "treated as a barcode of interdependent production activities, with changing densities of fish farming, greenhouses for fruit, vegetable and flower production, allotment gardens, markets and tree farming."Fish Farms are located on the western end of the strip and serve both a local populace through an adjacent market and an international market with a distribution port. A series of greenhouses line the edges of the existing runway and create cluster of outdoor 'rooms.' Interspersed are modest community garden and farm plots which subdivide the space and integrate the adjacent communities into the strip. A second market, proposed at the triangle intersection, serves to sell these vegetables and flowers to the Reykjavik community. A dense forest continues the barcode and creates wood for the initial construction phases. This forest gains more permanence in successive phases and is used to absorb carbon dioxide and offer oxygen to the new development.All of which sounds great to me. There is even a "network of geothermal pipes" that does something or other for the fish farms. But how spectacular to live in a city full of greenhouses! Re-formatting architectural interiors to grow fruit. You wander around at night through certain districts of your city watching strange plants grow behind glass. The air smells alive. It's quiet. And there are fewer cars – because entire streets have been blocked off and replaced with greenhouses, freeing up former parking lots to become orchards and small croplands. Microfarms. Perhaps new coastal rivers even cut through the city, engineered by heroic valves tucked away beneath the streets, irrigating various neighborhoods and responding to lunar tides. What used to be highway flyovers are now orange groves, and over there, in the abandoned airport, fields of medicinal flowers now grow. [image: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. On a vaguely related note, meanwhile, my own description here has reminded me of the discovery last winter that listening to birdsong might actually improve mental health. So imagine ten thousand new birds up in the trees of this greenhouse city as the sun begins to rise over huge warehouses walled with angled glass panes, like something out of analytical Cubism, and you're just sitting there eating toast with local honey, listening to morning birdsong, surrounded by plants. [image: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. In any case, the final greenway proposed by this project would be a "recreation corridor" in which "spaces for formal and informal activities" will be built, including "soccer fields, running tracks, basketball, tennis and volleyball, local schools and playgrounds." [image: By Lola E. Sheppard and Mason White]. The greenways will all knit together and criss-cross, following the buried logic of the old runways. In ten years' time, you can take your kids out into the middle of a forest and say: "They used to land planes here..." (All of these images are also available in a small Flickr set). Ler artigo...

Going Up The structural engineers over at Hyder Consulting have announced that they are planning what will be, by an overwhelming margin, the world's tallest skyscraper, coming in at double the height of the Burj Dubai –*or very nearly one vertical mile. The firm has "confirmed that the tower would be located in the Middle East region," we're told, "but would not give any further details." So is it just a media stunt? I decided, nonetheless, to alter an old BBC diagram about the world's tallest buildings to give myself a sense of what this might mean, size-wise; the results appear above. I have to assume that the building's actual profile will not resemble what I've created... but you never know. Note the comparative size of the Empire State Building. (News item spotted on Archinect – where we're reminded of Frank Lloyd Wright's Mile High Illinois project). Ler artigo...

Amsterdam Subcity Will the city of Amsterdam soon build "a labyrinth city" beneath its canals? [image: A new underground city for Amsterdam, by Zwarts & Jansma]. Maybe so. According to World Architecture News, "Newspapers around Europe have been reporting on the scheme, which requires the city's canals to be drained to allow the construction of a vast underground mixed-use complex beneath." [image: Underground Amsterdam by Zwarts & Jansma]. It's an idea by Zwarts & Jansma architects, whose plans includes excavating "a range of underground facilities... at various levels below the city." [images: Zwarts & Jansma]. Apparently, the project is even technically feasible:The Dutch capital may be unique as its geology lends itself to the technical feasibility of this scheme. Moshé Zwarts explained, "Amsterdam sites on a 30-metre layer of waterproof clay which will be used together with concrete and sand to make new walls. Once we have resealed the canal floor, we will be able to carry on working underneath while pouring water back into the canals. It's an easy technique and it doesn't create issues with drilling noises on the streets."But does that mean Amsterdam should really build it? For instance, World Architecture News is quite opposed to the project – yet the Telegraph reports that "the project has been approved by Amsterdam's city council. Construction work, lasting up to 20 years, is expected to begin in 2018." [image: Zwarts & Jansma]. Maybe they should build it and use it as a penal colony. Imagine the escape attempts – trying to get out of the earth. (Thanks to Alex Haw for the tip!) Ler artigo...
