"GKTFK is a residential project, that will be built in Gokturk, Istanbul in collaboration with DK.<br />
<br />
The intent of the project is twofold; one was to create modern and
beautiful living spaces and second was to challenge the typical
modernist housing blocks that consume the most of the suburban landscape
of Istanbul. Consequently, this strategy introduces a new residential
typology to the area. A process of deforming the typical block is used
with various software techniques. Input data directed the forms to
response to programmatic and contextual needs. The residential complex
has 3 individual buildings and a ground level park / green zone as
community space."<br />

designing their own studio. This design uses free spaces between
buildings forming original and economically viable offices which do not
block the court yard access. The project provides a three-floor volume
with an accessible roof area, divided with modular floor panels. The
framework which shapes it, is a single structural unit clamped between
the blind facades of the houses. The polygonal main facade solved in
dynamical volumes, is made from light and durable cellular
polycarbonate; the facade turned to the court yard is flat and
completely glazed."<br />

<a name='more'></a> "The main idea of the offered solution is transformation of Pushkinsky
cinema while preserving its original historical volume. Modern
expressive elements ‘sprout’ through the semicentennial structure,
symbolically connecting the old and the new by means of the shape and
materials. Such interpretation turns the cinema from an ordinary
architectural object into a real place of interest — a bright
communicative dominant which evidences by its effective non-trivial
appearance that inside a modern eyeful — the product of digital
technologies — is awaiting cinema connoisseurs. In the project the
original building’s facades and galleries are blanketed with a metal
structure covered with white polymer Corian. Thin slots are glazed with
transparent material SentryGlas. From the side of the main facade the
whole structure is supported with openwork treelike pillars." Za_Bor Architects<br /><br />

faceted prism. Made from concrete, it is intersected by a pattern of
rhomboid openings. Based on a square cuboid, the architects rotated the
shape to generate ‘a more complex morphology based on triangles, which
in turn produces a very particular play of shadows and light.’
Continuing to state how ‘tri-dimensionality’ was an important part of
the façade, the architects set the main building into a pool of water
showing interesting reflective qualities of the exterior."<br />

How do you work in a building project for a program that almost forbids exterior light? How do you make that building detach from the "normailty" of have no windows, and still have a presence?<br />
UNStudio gave us a clue.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Through color and facade pattern, UNStudio created a "personality" for the building in it's natural surroundings, making it to gain life and a certain rhythm as well. Giving the important facade an dinamic look, and the "less seen" facade, an almost cirurgical and clean look.<br />

The villa initially presents itself to the street as a levitating single
volume perched on a solid stone plinth. The plinth is organized around a
25 meter swimming pool which extends out into the backyard. It holds
all the service and living spaces around a 2 storey high courtyard,
which performs as the center of the house. Numerous light wells provide
light into the depths of the plinth. <br />

The
upper volume consists of two generic boxes for sleeping quarters at
each end. The solid boxes ‘soften’ in the middle and dissolve into a
double layered trellis made of single sized beams to sculpt the
courtyard space below. The layers of the trellis are connected with 5
standard length vertical steel rods to allow the structure to span a
greater distance, while creating a shaded courtyard below. The varying
distance of the layers create moiré fields as light filters through the
trellis. The quality and the nature of the moiré fields evolve through
the day with the movement of the sun, evolving different shaded zones in
the courtyard."</div>

"Operatic performance seeks to compress a multitude of specific art
mediums into a single temporal experience; poetic narrative, dramatic
performance, music (both vocal and orchestral), costume, lighting, stage
and scenery design. But, to go to the opera is much more than just the
performance itself. It involves all of the preliminary anticipatory
experiences of the opera house. The entries, lobbies, stairways, foyers,
bars and restaurants are an integral part of the opera event." </div>

"This is where the architecture of the opera house
becomes a crucial piece in a larger performance; a social, cultural and
aesthetic performance. Cultural institutions such as theaters,
performance halls, museums, and operas provide and provoke much more
than just a functional display of artwork. They are participatory pieces
in the complexity of societal relations, both in the direct experiences
of each patron, and through the larger urban and cultural conditions
that surround the building. The opera, as a cultural hub, becomes a
beacon that simultaneously draws people in while projecting identity
out. </div>
<div class="links">
<br /></div>
<div class="links">
We have responded to this challenge by
making three specific interventions into the opera house organization:
First, the hierarchically striated auditorium seating staggers and
compresses to become more intimate, egalitarian and experiential;
second, the promenade of foyer/circulation is elongated into a
mediating space for the participatory act of anticipatory congregation;
and lastly the pragmatic cruciform of performance stage and side stages
become permeable, editable and adaptable by taking on exhibition
programs as seasons and schedules permit."</div>

An almost self sufficient Hut in the middle of...nowhere!!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Like an Iceberg or even a glaciar, from the rocky snow mountains rises a very special hut, a shelter for adventurers. Recovering an old and ruined hut, students of ETH Zurich and Swiss architecture firm Bearth & Deplazes Architekten, have designed a completely new hut with tools to achieve a very significant sustainability in such a delicate environment.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nMRNkNwLMjk/UJ_wm6Nn9SI/AAAAAAAABVc/5lvCOIGR_hI/s1600/MRosaimage10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nMRNkNwLMjk/UJ_wm6Nn9SI/AAAAAAAABVc/5lvCOIGR_hI/s1600/MRosaimage10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
"This facility is 90 percent self-sufficient and offers hikers
protection from the elements in a new-style alpine hut that rises
dramatically out of the snow-covered terrain. At first glance, the Monte
Rosa Hut looks like the kind of place Snow Miser might live, a large
glacial formation rising out from the snowy peak. In reality, however,
it’s a high-altitude mountain shelter that sets new milestones in
sustainability and innovative design.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich)—a top
technology and science university—teamed up Swiss firm Bearth &
Deplazes Architekten, the legendary Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), and
Vectorworks® software to design and build the “hut”, which sits 2,883
meters high in the Swiss alpine sky near Zermatt. The facility houses a
state-of-the-art research lab which measures the building’s efficiency
as a self-sufficient entity. Vectorworks Architect software files served
as input and output for the energy design.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-095jQKOCZms/UJ_wnRUzOlI/AAAAAAAABVk/YGSvVsH6yRM/s1600/MRosaimage12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-095jQKOCZms/UJ_wnRUzOlI/AAAAAAAABVk/YGSvVsH6yRM/s1600/MRosaimage12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The asymmetrical angles of the five story hut minimize exposure to snow and wind and provide more room for guests.<br />
Studio Monte Rosa, a combined group of selected ETH students and Swiss
architecture firm Bearth & Deplazes Architekten, designed a
structure that would replace the original hut, which was in great need
of repair. The new lodging serves two important purposes: to provide
alpinists and hikers protection from the elements as well as a
comfortable, clean space to eat, rest, and commune with fellow
travelers; and to provide ETH Zürich with valuable research on effective
sustainable practices."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The facility can accommodate up to 120 guests. It contains a simple
kitchen and dining area—both fashioned from spruce and fir, which were
chosen for their sustainability quotients. A large common room provides a
spot for socialization. The bedrooms feature trapezoidal mattresses in
various sizes made to minimize wasted space by matching the shape of the
human body (broader at the top and tapering for the legs). During the
specialty research phase, the ETH students used Vectorworks software to
maximize the placement and number of beds within the given space. By
simulating many different scenarios for the beds and other building
elements, the design team optimized the hut’s entire design―which saved a
great amount of development time and significantly reduced building
costs.<br />
<br />
The design team used Vectorworks Architect software to create the
complex geometry of the Monte Rosa Hut, designing 420 different wall and
ceiling elements that were pieced together. A big task was handling the
different geometries while keeping the detailed solutions as similar as
possible, as was done with the ribbon glazing/window strip, the timber
construction/woodwork, and the furnishing of the bedrooms.
The program’s
accurate, flexible symbol libraries were very helpful to the team
because the designers did not have to create the components from
scratch.<br />
The software also provided the basis for calculating project costs
according to Swiss standards and enabled the students to employ a
“digital chain” methodology to fine-tune the hut’s components at each
step of the project and move their data seamlessly from concept to
design, to development, to fabrication, and finally to construction. The
end result: precisely-manufactured building elements and smooth
collaboration with numerous other project teams. By using the digital
chain to address complexities and efficiencies, they were able to reduce
the number of building elements by 30 percent and the weight by 40
percent, and also adjust design elements throughout the process."<br />
