Graft Architekturbüro

Who would have thought a dental clinic could be so aesthetic?

Certainly not my real phobia of the dentist. The clinic called KU64 is located in Berlin and was designed by the architectural firm Graft .

The name of this office does not reminded me much and yet ... These 3
Germans Willemeit Thomas, Wolfram Putz and Lars Krückeberg, all in their mid-thirties, are the "trendy new architects" of Hollywood. They run all the architectural firm "Graft" in Berlin, Los Angeles and Beijing! They have recently been at the forefront with their Project Hotel Berlin Q! where the walls become furniture.

This time, addressing the design of a place that most of us fear, these young architects sought to create a comfortable and optimistic (which work!).

The position of the clinic on 5 and 6 levels of an office building gave the designers the idea of a scenario beach with large windows facing south located. The

" sandbanks " design concept, evoke the banks of the Baltic Sea.

The windows in the rooms care leave to spend the day in such a way that once the patient sitting, he (according to developers) "the feeling of being in a lounge chair with just a wall that would protect from the wind" ...

It would almost feel like going to the dentist ... I said "almost" !

A architect is a man who knows very little about a very large number of subjects and, gradually, less and know least on a growing number of things, until he knows virtually nothing about almost everything ...

Instead, an engineer is a man who knows a lot in very limited and that, during his career, knows more about topics more and more limited, until 'that finally he knows practically everything about almost anything ... A

contractor starts with knowing everything about everything but ended up not knowing anything about anything, as he begins to ask nothing about everything, but eventually ask everything about nothing ... The

the Client (ie the client), who knows nothing about anything, suggests that this is because, in his case, attendance of Architects, engineers and contractors ...

In particular, the Supervisor of the Client who, early in his career can believe it monitors everything on his site, eventually realizing that what the Architects and Engineers asked him monitoring is increasingly subject to the goodwill of the contractor, who hides him more and more, so that the supervisor finally on virtually any monitor nothing and watch nothing on just about everything ...

The future of lower Manhattan

Three architects who design the site where once stood the World Trade Trade Center in New York, destroyed September 11, 2001, have unveiled their plans last Thursday, giving a first overview of the future "lower Manhattan. The British

Norman Foster and Richard Rogers and Japanese Fumihiko Maki designed each one of the towers to be built by 2012 around the memorial of the attacks.

3 architects for three distinct architectural approaches:

Dubbed "200 Greenwich Tower" or " Tower No. 2," the tower designed by British architectural firm Foster and Partners rise to 382 meters high and will include 78 floors. It will have such an apartment of about 15,000 m2 "is a powerful symbol of faith in the future," said Norman Foster. "The impressive height of the tower celebrates the spirit from the outset led Manhattan to build tall, and diamond-shaped summit will be a landmark in the line of skyscrapers in the city."

Designed by Richard Rogers, the "175 Greenwich Tower", or "turn No. 3" will be 352 meters tall with 71 floors, it leaves ample room for transparency. Built on three floors, the entrance will include a view of the memorial.

Finally, the "150 Greenwich Tower", or "turn No. 4", designed by Fumihiko Maki completes the package. 288 meters high, this tower of 61 floors will offer a minimalist design and a color moving by daylight.

Composed of three buildings, the iconic Freedom Tower and a memorial to victims September 11, the future World Trade Center (whose construction is already underway) should be released in 2012 .

station without front

Located in the Guillemins at the foot of the hill of Cointe station Liège-Guillemin was an important crossroads of the Belgian rail network . This is the second station in Wallonia number of passengers . It is also international train station, in allowing the ICE and the Thalys.

Designed at the dawn of the railway, the track layout and station platforms Guillemins had at one time or another, be reviewed in depth to ensure continuity with the new high speed lines in progress construction.

After international competition, the project was entrusted to Catalan architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.

It was certainly chosen for its global reputation as an architect, but also for its experience in design station, which has made him a dozen in the world (including 2 European: station Stadelhofen in Zurich and Gare de Lyon-Saint Exupery TGV ).

This project is very large accompanied by a reshaping of the district Guillemins .

there is wrong with the back of the spoon: Calatrava going to create a large breakthrough linking the station to the Meuse: a huge boulevard including water bodies, extended by a footbridge spanning the Maas to the Palais des Congres.

A parking area is also built behind the station with direct access onto the highway. It will be the only station with direct highway access in Europe!

Calatrava's work lies between art, architecture and engineering . His constructions, inspired by his sculptures and drawings are genuine artistic creations . It defies the laws of gravity stretching disconcertingly metal structures

... According to the architect, one of the essential characteristics of this new station will be its lack of identifiable facade. It will be rather a place open and free access illustrating the principles of diffusion and communication which it is attached.
Instead of a traditional facade you will find that large openings marked by metal awnings overlooking the square outside the building.

[Features] Petite animation in computer graphics of the impressive future station.

The inauguration of the new station is planned for late 2007.

The Fallingwater as if you were there ...

Kasperg Maps that generally performs custom maps for the game Half-Life 2 , created a virtual model of the House the cascade of Frank Lloyd Wright.

For the record, the House of the cascade (or Fallingwater Edgar Kaufmann house) is a house built for the businessman Edgar Kaufmann between 1935 and 1939 according to plans American architect Frank Lloyd Wright . It is situated between the villages of Mill Run and Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania United States along Bear River Run.

Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the first to create cantilevers and terraces to open house on the nature because the environment is a highlight of its architecture. The rock is everywhere inside the house and retaining walls are stone. is a real "shack" Robinson fortunate and remarkable architectural gesture.

At school, I loved this building and analyzing the virtual model (*), although it does not hyper-realism can better appreciate the "genius Architectural "FLW.

Hoping one day to visit it in person ...

(*) Warning: the video is not very fluid (like a video game) so slight pain in heart at the end of the virtual tour ...
