Pré-Fabricado: Hotel Everland If the Plaza is a little too ritzy for your taste, perhaps the futuristic prefab one-room Hotel Everland is more your cup of tea. Designed by Swiss design duo artist-duo L/B (Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann), Hotel Everland is prefabricated from a wood frame, then literally dropped onto a site to bring modern design and hotel-quality comfort to all corners of the globe. We applaud L/B for their clever application of prefab housing to a more commercial sector. An from what we can tell, the interior space looks quite hospitable! Ler artigo...

Structures of the death market - Thu, 22 Feb 2007 22:03:00 +0000 Another cool project from Domus, this time a "vertical cemetary" whose "commitment to quality is eternal." [image: Via Domus]. Though it looks like something out of Perdido Street Station, it's really a skyscraping extension to the Memorial Necrópole Ecumênica, "a vertical cemetery established in Santos in Brazil in 1983." This futuristic, insectile extension "will create another 25,000 niches, set inside a 108-metre-high tower block that will complete the complex." It will be circled by birds, looming alien on the horizon. [image: Via Domus]. Quoting the article at great length:The vertical cemetery is particularly widespread in Brazil and is also beginning to be used in other places: the Panteón Memorial Towers complex, which consists of 13 towers in a vaguely deconstructivist style, has recently been presented at Bogotá in Colombia and sparked debate concerning changes in funeral rituals related to the social changes that have taken place over the last 30 years. In the South Korean pavilion at the last Venice Architecture Biennale, the project The Last House by architect Chanjoong Kim (founder of System Lab) addressed the same notion, bringing it into line with more contemporary architectural styles and approaches and drawing on a zoomorphic language that echoed systems of vascular circulation. Architecture appears swift to take the opportunity to address a new area where death creates a market, on the borderline between consumerism and entertainment.Personally, I think it will soon be covered in plastic bags, snagged from the air, and within ten years it will host a bungee-jumping platform. Then, fifteen years after the tower is completed, a Brazilian George A. Romero will make a terrifying new version of Night of the Living Dead, in which all the corpses come back to life... falling to the ground in packs, then crawling away into the darkness. [image: Via Domus]. More images are available at Domus, and a few more thoughts on such projects can be found at we make money not art. (Elsewhere: "The Hanging Cemetary of Babylon"). Ler artigo...

Europe's Geological Attics - Thu, 22 Feb 2007 08:57:00 +0000 [image: Carlo Mollino's "architectural solution for extremely high altitudes." Via Domus]. Last year, Domus introduced us to an "architectural solution for extremely high altitudes." But it's not another weird, home oxygen system; it's a derelict ski lift relay station, designed by Carlo Mollino –*who apparently once said: "Everything is permissible as long as it is fantastic." [image: Via Domus]. The ski lift itself was meant to cross upward through the Alpine sky, from mountain top to mountain top, eventually alighting upon the crest of the Matterhorn. As such, it was part of a much larger mountain sports complex – or distributed "micrometropolis," as the article describes it – for prestigious (and wealthy) winter athletes. Wonderfully, these structures – located on various peaks and connected by cable cars – were inspired by "the Tibetan monasteries of Lhasa as self-sufficient and self-justifying mountain units." Mollino himself wrote, referring to this project: "I believe this construction represents an answer to the question of architecture at very high mountain altitudes, and that it is also a new constructional concept. It is literally anchored in the rock, which had to be dynamited in order to create the albeit partial support platforms. All the rest is cantilevered.” [image: A sketch by Carlo Mollino. Via Domus]. However, "a secret passageway into the glacier" was also constructed; this was a jagged corridor filled with stairways and machinery that Domus refers to as "the famous rock tunnel." More poetically, they add, it's "a tunnel through the rock of one of Europe’s geological attics." Ler artigo...
