Essay: David Heymann A Mound in the Wood Sorce:  http://places.designobserver.com/feature/a-mound-in-the-wood-on-sculpture-and-architecture/31248/ Peter Zumthor, Saint Benedict Chapel, Sumvtig, Switzerland, 1989. Herzog and de Meuron, Prada Aoyama, Tokyo, 2003. [Photos by David Heymann] Here, bluntly put, is one conclusion to draw from the earlier essay in this series on buildings and landscape : for many architects working today, site mapping strategies serve as a smoke screen — perhaps well-intentioned, perhaps not — used to sell highly sculptural constructions as landscape sensitive to a gullible public, that, were it not for this blinding landscape component, would likely and correctly be suspicious of our intent. And I mean sculptural here in the most obvious, perhaps least interesting and old-fashioned way: as strange aggressive objects that demand attention by being physically complex. As I suggested in an earlier series of essays , the after-Moder...

Nikola-Lenivets International Design Competition Nikola-Lenivets Project and Archstoyanie Festival announce the competition for Nikola’s Belvedere art object which is meant to become one of the main landmarks in Nikola-Lenivets.

The winner will be rewarded a cash prize of 100,000 rubles and provided with funding for the belved...

Zaha Hadid regeneriše Beograd "Cilj nam je da oplemenimo ovaj deo grada i damo mu novu namenu, ali istovremeno sačuvamo duh i kulturu Kalemegdana, unapredimo i poboljšamo šire područje oko tvrđave i ojačamo infrastrukturu ovog dela grada." Ovako će BEKO izgledati u budućnosti Izgradnjom savremenog kompleksa na mestu nekadašnje tekstilne fabrike Beko, koji je dizajnirala Zaha Hadid, biće nastavljen moderni razvoj Beograda koji je bio naglo prekinut osamdesetih godina prošlog veka. Nova multifunkcionalna građevina kod Kalemegdana probudiće beogradski duh “moderne”, karakterističan za glavni grad Srbije tridesetih, pedesetih i sedamdesetih godina. Svaka od tih dekada obeležena je ključnim zgradama koje i danas predstavljaju ikone Beograda i regiona: čuvena Palata Albanije i Radio Beograd tridesetih godina, ceo Novi Beograd sa svojim draguljem - palatom SIV-a pedesetih ...

  “Sustainable Urbanism: The Grand Unification”              “Our times offer an historic opportunity to rethink where and how we live, work, play, and shop. The path to a sustainable lifestyle builds on the principles of smart growth, new urbanism, and green buildings. If successful, it will not only reduce environmental harm, but also offer stunning enhancements to the current quality of life. The setting for this is sustainable urbanism, the creation and support of communities that are so well designed for a high quality of life that people will   eagerly opt to meet their daily needs on foot and transit. Compared to the    American lifestyle as we know it, the quality of a life lived in sustainable urbanism is healthier, happier, more independent and not least longer. What’s not   to like?           ...

Key Facts: Many cities have been designed around their transportation systems, to the detriment of their own people.  Now, transportation infrastructure accounts for 20-40 percent of all urban land . Even in Washington, D.C., which has invested in a range of sustainable transportation options, streets, intersections, and alleys accounts for 22 percent of all land, and once you include parking spaces, that number easily reaches 30 percent. These systems have also enabled the growth of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), which now account for 30 percent of all U.S. emissions. (Sources:  Wikipedia ,  Washington D.C.
