We saw the Illy Push Button House a while back, it's the one built within a standard shipping container that takes 90 seconds to expand, now we have some new pics. Once opened the Push Button House reveals a kitchen, dining area, bedroom, living room and library designed by Adam Kalkin, all built from recycled materials. The house uses hydraulic cylinders that are controlled by a computer system within the kitchen island and is on show as a demonstration of mobile mechanics that can be used in a variety of circumstances, such as disaster-relief housing, an exhibition space or a sustainable home. http-~~-//mocoloco.com/upload/2007/12/illy_push_butto/illy_04.jpg http-~~-//mocoloco.com/upload/2007/12/illy_push_butto/illy_03.jpg http-~~-//mocoloco.com/upload/2007/12/illy_push_butto/Illy_01.jpg http-~~-//mocoloco.com/upload/2007/12/illy_push_butto/Illy_02.jpg in http://mocoloco.com/archives/004898.php

How do you address an industrial site - surrounded by simple box-like buildings, within a sea of asphalt, and meant to function as a depot for 300 buses? That was the question posed by the RATP [Régie autonome des transports parisiens - ‘autonomous control of Parisian transport’] in regards to a much-needed new bus center in Thiais, a small suburb in southern Paris [about 7 miles from the center of the city]. Enter Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec Architects [ECDM], a Parisian firm founded in 1988, who’s answer seems almost ridiculous in its simplicity: just make a bus park - a ‘vast monolithic concrete slab, uniformed territory composed of one sole material’. With the need for a building to house administrative offices, and meet any of the needs that the 800+ bus drivers may have, a bus center emerges on the site to function as a hub for this portion of the transit system. The design plays on the expansive asphalt groundplane, creating a building that doesn’t rise from the pavement, but within it - as if the center was covered over when the parking lot was paved. The material used in the construction - Ductal® - is a high performance concrete, who’s particular qualities allowed for smooth, curving edges that give the building the appearance of having no beginning or end [it gives me the impression that on a hot summer day the building would actually become malleable at the edges, like so much asphalt]. The 2 storey building is a simple 35 by 35 meter square, meant to appear as banal as the surrounding asphalt and concrete - ‘like a piece stamped from distorting the existing concrete surface of the Bus Center’. The plan is therefore a simple series of rooms surrounding a main corridor, with a central courtyard, which are intended to be adaptable to changing programmatic needs in the buildings future. in MNP Link do Arquitecto

E se o Deserto do Saara fosse a principal Fonte de energia renovavel da Europa? Aqui apresento um artigo que pode ajudar-vos a reflectir neste assunto. What if Africa was Europe's power plant? Wednesday, December 12, 2007 (What to do with all that wasted sun? Via Wikipedia.) Last week, The Guardian reported that Europe is looking to Africa to serve its energy needs by basically turning the continent into one giant solar power plant. Europe is considering plans to spend more than £5bn on a string of giant solar power stations along the Mediterranean desert shores of northern Africa and the Middle East. More than a hundred of the generators, each fitted with thousands of huge mirrors, would generate electricity to be transmitted by undersea cable to Europe and then distributed across the continent to European Union member nations, including Britain. Billions of watts of power could be generated this way, enough to provide Europe with a sixth of its electricity needs and to allow it to make significant cuts in its carbon emissions. At the same time, the stations would be used as desalination plants to provide desert countries with desperately needed supplies of fresh water. Of course, one is compelled to wonder here what would happen if Africa provided Europe with all of its electricity? Most likely that won't happen; no European countries would want to subject their whole energy security to regional volatility. On the other hand, one could imagine a fairly optimistic scenario wherein this energy cooperation would provide a stabilizing force to unstable states, help cure both continents' post-colonial hangover, counteract China's growing geopolitical influence in the region — and all the while reducing carbon emissions to zero. (The solar fields at Kramer Junction, California. Photo courtesy of Schlaich Bergermann und Partner.) But, as always, what we are immediately most interested in is: in what ways would this energy pact be physically manifested in Africa? As but one illustration of how energy consumption is spatialized, there is the so-called mountaintop mining, whereby whole mountains are leveled off, literally grounded down, to get at coal deposits instead of using tunnels. The erased geology would then be dumped nearby, chocking streams and old growth forests. In one of the best (and certainly longest) articles on the subject that we have ever come across, Eric Reece, in Harpers Magazine, writes: Where once there were jagged forested ridgelines, now there is only a series of plateaus, staggered grey shelves where grass struggles to grow in crushed rock and shale. When visitors to eastern Kentucky first see the effects of this kind of mining, they often say the landscape looks like the Southwest - a harsh tableland interrupted by steep mesas. In other words, heating up your ex-urbian McMansion is right now turning Appalachia into Arizona and New Mexico. (Erasing Appalachian mountains. Photo by Kent Kessinger with a flight courtesy of Southwings, via The National Memorial for the Mountains.) One can easily picture Julie Bargmann and her D.I.R.T. Studio, like ambulance chasers circling a scene of devastation, salivating over photos of negative mountains, scheming away at plans to reclaim them from destruction, waiting for that commission. Unless, of course, Alan Berger and his Project for Reclamation Excellence (P-REX) don't beat them to the job. But returning back to our question: what will Google Earth tourists see when they point their vigilant eyes towards an electrified North Africa? Will they come upon vast plantations of coronal fields, perfect geometries arrayed in similarly perfect arrangement, irrespective of terrain but nevertheless finely attuned to the sky? And what about the people on the ground? Where once was desert, might they now enjoy newly sprouted oases, which are fed with water from solar-powered desalination plants? An Emerald Necklace of Olmstedian design inscribed in the Saharan landscape. (The Al Khufrah Oasis in southeastern Libya, as seen from the International Space Station. Photo courtesy of the Image Science and Analysis Laboratory/NASA.) Will foreigners descend en mass to undertake a Bowlesian journey, trekking from one incomprehensible terrain to another equally unfathomable recess of the desert, utterly unprepared for the otherness of it all but obviously so seduced that they travel on, even while in the grips of dysentery, losing themselves psychologically and literally to the sands? All bearings and comfort are lost. (A solar-wind power plant, as proposed by SolarMission Technologies and others.) And then just as things couldn't get any stranger, they will come upon a stand of solar updraft towers; there are hundreds of them, possibly thousands, forming a kind of arid rainforest mechanically evapotranspirating. But in their parched and hallucinatory conditions these adventurers will mistake them for Persian tower tombs, divining the surrounding air into a vortex, the whirring blades resonating ghostly howls. in Pruned

Flooding the Farnsworth Thursday, August 30, 2007 From the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois, via Edward Lifson a.k.a. The New Modernist, some photos of Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House under threat by floodwaters from the Fox River, this after visits from Brad Pitt and one other nominal celebrity. Preservationists and Modernists certainly must be agonizing over these photos. Iconoclasts, on the other hand, must be praying for yet more torrential downpours. One regular Pruned reader, an avowed anti-Modernist, sarcastically asked us if this is what “they” meant by “architecture engaging with the landscape”? He was wondering, or so we assume, whether architectural historians, critics and students--in overpraising the house (and Philip Johnson's Glass House and Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water) for harmoniously intertwining with nature--are simply full of shit, as what they think of as a harmonious engagement (or the idea of those high priests of Modernism “designing with nature”, or at the very least acknowledging context beyond formal and material concerns) is an illusion. “Nature has been subjugated. There, it is expected to be static, as structured as the building. That or it must act within a prescribed set of parameters. Abnormal hydrology is frowned upon, for instance. So harmonyschmarmony. But thankfully, when things like this happen, architecture is laughingly displayed as impotent.” Too harsh. In its defense, however, the house does look beautiful and quite striking in its state of quasi-failure. Meanwhile, we are eagerly waiting to hear, hopefully accompanying other reports of Brad Pitt's generous donation to architecture, that proposals are underway for a levee system to protect the Farnsworth, millions of dollars worth of flood protection that most assuredly will fail in order to further sustain the illusion. We're waiting, because it will be hilarious to hear them. in http://pruned.blogspot.com/2007/08/flooding-farnsworth.html http-~~-//farm2.static.flickr.com/1118/1273800416_bdc952e029_o.jpg Ha quem tenha referido que a casa fora concebida desta forma por ordem ideologica.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has appointed world-renowned architect Ms Zaha Hadid as Chief Architect of its new “Innovation Tower”. Ms Hadid has made a trip from London to Hong Kong to present her design concepts at a press conference hosted by Mr Victor Lo Chung-wing, Chairman of PolyU Council; and Mr Alexander Tzang, Deputy President of PolyU. Addressing the press conference, Mr Victor Lo said PolyU’s new “Innovation Tower” will serve as a driving force in the development of Hong Kong as a design hub in Asia. The new Tower will also provide additional space to facilitate inter-disciplinary research and education in the field of design. The new Tower will be located at the northeast side of the university campus. Construction work will begin in 2009 and the whole project is expected to be completed by 2011. Upon completion, the Tower will provide some 12,000 square metres of net floor area and able to accommodate more than 1,500 students. This Tower will be the first permanent architectural design in Hong Kong by Ms Hadid. “I am delighted to be working in Hong Kong again. The city has such diversity in its landscapes and history; this is reflected in an urbanism of layering and porosity. Our own explorations and research into an architecture of seamless fluidity follows this paradigm so evident in Hong Kong. One of our seminal projects was designed for the city exactly 25 years ago, and the Innovation Tower design is a realization of this continued research.” states Zaha Hadid. “The Innovation Tower design dissolves the classic typology of the tower and the podium into a seamless piece. The design unashamedly aims to stimulate a vision of possibilities for the future whilst reflecting the history of the institution.” Zaha Hadid is one of the most influential figures in the world of modern architecture. She is also the first female recipient of the coveted Pritzker Architecture prize, which is known in architecture as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize. She established her professional practice in London and her architectural designs can be found in major cities around the world. These include the BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany; the National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome; and the Olympics Aquatics Centre to be built in London. PolyU Deputy President Mr Alexander Tzang added that the University has gone through stringent procedures in selecting Ms Hadid as Chief Architect of the project. The University has appointed a 10-member selection panel to screen some 48 submissions from local and overseas architectures and short-listed five proposals, taking into consideration both technical feasibility of the project and cost. The new Tower will house the School of Design (SD) and support the development of its specialisms, namely Environmental Design, Industrial and Product Design, Visual Communication, Advertising as well as Digital Design. It will provide a congenial environment to support SD staff and students in their pursuit of excellence. In this new “Innovation Tower”, there will be an advanced Car Design Studio; Fashion Accessories Materials Labs; a Sound Studio for Multi-media and Entertainment Design; a Museum to showcase local and international design classics; and a public gallery to exhibit works of staff and students of SD as well as local talents. In Hong Kong, PolyU is the sole provider of design tertiary education and the city’s most important hub of design education and development. In recent years, SD has scaled new heights under the directorship of Prof. Lorraine Justice, who was named as the world’s top 40 influential designers by the ID magazine in the US. SD has also made its mark, for two consecutive years since 2006, as one of the top 60 design schools in the world, according to independent surveys of design schools and design programmes conducted by BusinessWeek. Design talents groomed by PolyU have won worldwide recognition and achieved astounding successes with their creativity and innovations. Famous graduates of SD include Oscarwinner and Supervising Animator for Shrek Mr Raman Hui, founder of the jewellery brand Qeelin Mr Dennis Chan, and Partner of Kan & Lau Design Consultants Mr Freeman Lau, to name but a few. in e-architect.co.uk http-~~-//www.e-architect.co.uk/hong%20kong/jpgs/hong_kong_poly_university_hadid171207_4.jpg http-~~-//www.e-architect.co.uk/hong%20kong/jpgs/hong_kong_poly_university_hadid171207_6.jpg http-~~-//www.e-architect.co.uk/hong%20kong/jpgs/hong_kong_poly_university_hadid171207_2.jpg

Shopping centre Gyre, Tokyo MVRDV December 2007 Recent developments in the Omotesando district of Tokyo incorporate the spectacular design of new buildings, each with magnificent façades and a delicate interiors. Most of the buildings are flagship stores for major fashion brands. They seem to concentrate on the quality of their skins and façades, and display themselves as giant advertisements. They are the architectural equivalent of supermodels. But like supermodels, their beauty can be intimidating. Can a new building compete and make a statement? Can a new building strive to be more than merely decorative? Why not pick up the thread of earlier developments that began in 1985 with the Spiral Building by Maki and continued in 2001 with the YM Square building in Harajuku? These designs focused on the vertical movement of visitors, and are more public and less exclusive than fashionable ‘name-brand’ buildings. However, the special qualities of these buildings are not directly visible from the street and they lack the iconic exterior qualities of the more recent flagship stores. Is it possible to combine internal openness with an iconic exterior and get the best of both typologies? The programme asked for a building that could serve one or several users/companies. It therefore had to communicate on two scale levels: the level of the building as a whole and the level of the individual shop inside the building. The space is programmed for five floors, each floor area is 75 per cent of the total plot. By gradually twisting these floors around a central core, a series of terraces emerge, connected by stairs and elevators that are positioned outside the volumes. They create an identical pair of vertically-stepped, terraced streets, one on each side of the core. Via these two public routes, the two sidestreets are connected at every level throughout the block, turning them into vertical streets. The exterior of the building produces a highly iconic and sculptural form; a building that attracts and invites people, not only to the street level, but also to companies and destinations at higher levels. As the silhouette of the building is already unique, the façade can stay relatively modest, allowing the occupants of the spaces to express themselves. A series of shop window-sized openings appear at each level. They serve as doors, windows or shop windows/signs. The closed façade and the ceilings are covered with a special ceramic tile; the terraces are made out of artifical wood. text MVRDV, photo's Rob 't Hart in Archined.nl http-~~-//www.archined.nl/oem/reportages/gyre/5.jpg http-~~-//www.archined.nl/oem/reportages/gyre/3.jpg http-~~-//www.archined.nl/oem/reportages/gyre/8.jpg http-~~-//www.archined.nl/oem/reportages/gyre/14.jpg in http://architecturelab.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/shopping-centre-gyre-tokyo-by-mvrdv/

December 17th, 2007 Andreas Bittis has re-launched TranslucentConcrete - load-bearing concrete containing optical fibres that means you can see through it. A bit. Bittis sent us the following information: TranslucentConcrete is a combination of optical fibres and fine concrete. Thousands of fibres run side by side transmitting light between the two surfaces of each element. Because of their small size the fibres blend into concrete becoming a component of the material like small pieces of ballast. In this manner, the result is not only having the two materials mixed - glass in concrete - but a third, new material, which is homogeneous in its inner structure and on its main surfaces as well. In theory, a wall structure created out of TranslucentConcrete blocks can be a couple of meters thick as the fibres work almost without any loss in light up till 20 meters! Moreover, the blocks are load-bearing and provide the same effect with both natural and artificial light. Glass fibres lead light by points between the wall-surfaces. Shadows on the lighter side will appear with sharp outlines on the darker one. Even the colours remain the same! Such a wall with glass fibre-pixels acts as if scanner and screen are united. This special effect creates the general impression that thickness and weight of this concrete wall disappear. TranslucentConcrete blocks are produced depending on the aesthetical wishes and structural needs of the architects project. Basically all sizes of pre-cast concrete are possible: from small bricks, to façade plates or passable paving stones, all illuminated from beneath. Since the amount of optical fibre is only 4%, TranslucentConcrete blocks have the same technical data as the concrete used for them. The same flexibility occurs with the fibres: Right now the diameter of the fibre can be chosen from 2micro- to 2 millimetres. And also the technique of making TranslucentConcrete blocks can differ according to the needs of the project: from a slight “diffuse” aesthetic to a certain grid or even a logo. Moreover TranslucentConcrete is a high density concrete – according to the extremely fine diameter of the fibres the other aggregates need to be chosen carefully. TranslucentConcrete elements are joined together through splicing or agglutinating or in conjunction with any common framework. Talented architects and engineers should feel challenged to create structures of extraordinary beauty and innovation. TranslucentConcrete is the first step to what might become the building material of the future. in dezeen http-~~-//www.dezeen.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_2899.jpg

21 December, 2007 By Heidi Ancell Quango's London director criticises questioning of public inquiry witness Eric Reynolds English Heritage has accused developer Thornfield of attempting the “character assassination” of one of its key witnesses during the public inquiry into the redevelopment of Smithfield market. Speaking at London’s Bankside House on Thursday, barrister David Forsdick, acting on behalf of Thornfield, questioned the competence of EH witness Eric Reynolds, director of Urban Space Management and a figure behind the regeneration of markets such as Camden Lock, Spitalfields and Greenwich. But English Heritage London director Paddy Pugh later described the questioning as an “aggressive and abusive character assassination”. English Heritage is bidding to block Thornfield’s bid to replace the General Market building with a KPF office development and has called witnesses including Reynolds and Terry Farrell to support its case. Forsdick’s cross examination, which lasted from Wednesday until Friday, focused on why Reynolds - who produced a report on the viability of refurbishing and reusing the Smithfield market buildings – did not have professional valuation qualifications. Forsdick also pointed to one of Reynold’s markets, at Swindon, which was “sold at a loss” earlier in the year and questioned why he had not followed the traditional RICS methodology for valuation. “This is a major mixed use development and I am trying to establish exactly what it is you do in the markets that you are involved with and how that qualifies you to give valuation advise,” said Forsdick. “Obviously you do not have expertise is terms of qualifications in carrying out valuations so what exactly is your experience on major mixed use developments?” Reynolds pointed to his 34 years of experience in managing and operating markets as evidence of his competence and denied that he was asked to provide evidence as a professional valuation expert. “I am not a witness for valuation but am here to help the Inspector understand whether the building can be reused in a sustainable way and I determine that it can,” he said. Speaking afterwards, Pugh attacked the line of questioning and described the fight between English Heritage and Thornfield as a “David and Goliath battle.” “It was an aggressive and abusive character assassination because they [the Thornfield team] had no other point to make,” he said. “Their criticism boiled down to the fact that he [Reynolds] is not a chartered surveyor and did not use the RICS method of valuation. “Eric takes risks and uses a method based on whether he thinks a project can be made to work and his past experience shows he is very capable of making that judgement.” in bdonline http-~~-//www.bdonline.co.uk/Pictures/web/n/p/l/smithfield.jpg

Despite its biscuit-dry title, this is a sparkling refurbishment of a former factory. After Embaixada Arquitectura were commissioned to create a new exhibition space in the Portuguese city of Tomar, the Lisbon-based practice took the existing building back to a shell, then infilled it with a series of angular constructions. The EMIO is a combination of public arts centre, lecture space and apartment for an artist-in-residence, with a few administrative offices tucked off to one side. These new functions are raised up off the ground floor, forming a miniature cityscape of roofs, pathways and public squares, enhanced by the dark, rich surface textures that stand out starkly against the whitewashed walls of the original structure. in wallpaper http-~~-//static.wallpaper.com/images/98_jb_am101207_f.jpg http-~~-//galleries.ipcignite.com/croppedimages/testuser5_dec2007_EMB_01_K1aqN0_ZBai32.jpg http-~~-//galleries.ipcignite.com/croppedimages/testuser5_dec2007_04_DMF_x1aqN0_Htaa6p.jpg

Nao estava a referir a ti a nao ser que sejas o ttrigueiros... Penso que Las Vegas e Macau sao duas realidades completamente diferentes. Las Vegas eh uma das cidades que mais cresce no mundo pois em redor dela existe muito espaco pois estah rodeado de deserto. Macau nao tem espaco, tem que conquistar terra ao Mar para crescer. Enquanto Las Vegas pode crescer na horizontal Macau tem que crescer na vertical. Las Vegas eh uma cidade que cresceu duma pequena cidade de missionarios religiosos, Macau eh uma cidade com 500 anos. Portanto quando alguem que percebe de urbanismo e refere que este assunto nao interessa a ninguem eu discordo e espero que esse alguem comece rapidamente a escrever textos sobre urbanismo, o que eu nao acredito. Macau, uma cidade de 500 anos e com um passado historico diferente das restantes cidades chinesas estah a crescer de forma galopante e em redor duma funcionalidade que eh o Jogo. Penso que este tipo de cidades pode e deve ser investigada para dai retirar solucoes para outras cidades.

Macau tem dois projectos urbanisticos de dois grandes arquitectos portugueses, Alvaro Siza Vieira e Manuel Vicente. Nao concordo contigo quando devemos colocar os casos Macau / Las Vegas / Dubai na gaveta. Tudo bem que sao cidades vazias de sentido e sem qualquer interesse a curto e medio prazo. Gostava de saber que assuntos tao importantes deve haver em Urbanistica. Devem ser tao importante e tao dificieis que nunca ha nada aqui neste forum. Podias muito bem com a tua coleccao de intervencoes (3 mensagens ) comecar a escrever qualquer coisa aqui jah que es urbanista.
