0-14

O-14 is a commercial tower designed by the innovative office of RUR Architecture in collaboration with Shahab Lutfi .

Located in the business district of Dubai , the building height of 91 meters will be a prime place on the esplanade of waterfront

The 0-14 is designed as a tower sheathed a "skin" of 40 cm perforated over 1000 bays

... This double-skin not only serves bearing structure but also acts as a Passive solar cooling system (*).

Indeed, within + / - 1 meter between the front of the glass creates, among other things, a sort of chimney which allows cooling of the hot air outside before its passage in Local (thus saving money, more environmentally sound)

By its geometry particular, the structure animates the facade gives the building's visual identity and a strong personality permeates the interior. This geometry is not only decorative , it ensures the most efficient overall stability of the construction. The exoskeleton allows release the core building to create open spaces that offer flexibility significant for internal fittings.

is primarily what differentiates this building thereof ! Aesthetically, they seem to have been designed in the same spirit when it is absolutely not the case ...

(*) The passive solar cooling: we can greatly reduce, even eliminate, the need for an air conditioner Conventional: This is, firstly, to isolate the building against warm air and light energy from the Sun and, secondly, to evacuate to the outside, using of natural ventilation, heat gain due to equipment and occupants.

URBANCACTUS

This "Urban Cactus " is a housing project designed by the UCX Architects for the Rotterdam Vestia Feijenoord / Estrade Projecten.

Mainly because of its strategic location at the end of a port area, the architects wanted to conceptualize the project as an element belonging "a vein green rather than try to s' attach to the surrounding urban structure.

The Urban Cactus contains 98 residential units spread over 19 floors .

Its distinctive aesthetic escape anyone: the building is defined by its outdoor spaces giving it a very unique identity.

On each floor, outdoor spaces have irregular shapes, it helps maximize areas of terraces and gardens in town so precious. Furthermore, this alternation of open space to create time to other areas of double height, each unit receives more natural light a "typical stacked composition.

[The amazing vitality and growth of Denver from its founding until now inspires shape the new museum. Coupled with the magnificent topography with its breathtaking views of the sky and the Rocky Mountains, the dialogue between the "rudeness" of construction and the romanticism of the landscape creates a unique place in the world.]

The building's structure, calculated by engineers Arup , required the implementation of 2740 tons of steel. 3D software allowing to pinpoint each of the beams of the frame.
This framework was then covered the outside with panels 9000 titanium white.

The choice of materials was done in order to preserve the existing context with the use of local stone, about the use of innovative materials such as Titanium , the architect explained that the mixture between tradition and modernity makes link the past to Denver to Denver in the 21st century ...

club as it was envisaged include a recovery of energy at the floor the dance floor (extract kilowatts from energetic clubbers had to think!) ; the Health be exclusively fed with rainwater ; the walls, meanwhile, change color according to temperature changes (for awareness its environment) a roof garden will be planned and other subtleties of the genre should also be implemented to create the disco low environmental impact ...

The Disco Deskrama

"Deskrama is a low-cost interactive space browser for three dimensional architectural designs. Moving its light-weight LCD panel on a plan drawing of a building displays on the LCD panel a three dimensional interior view of the building model as if it were placed on the plan and sectioned at the position where the panel touches the drawing. The key idea is a spatial synchronization of different architectural representations such as a two dimensional abstraction and photo realistic three dimensional perspective."

Le Deskrama est un navigateur 3D interactif de visualisation architecturale .
En déplaçant a lightweight LCD a plan view of a building, the image that appears is an interior view dimensional of said building
... It's great, the place where the screen is placed on the drawing, a virtual section is projected on the screen (see photo above).

[I did not understand the mode of operation of the machine, until I remember that it's magic and practice]

"The main idea is a spatial synchronization of different architectural representations such that a two-dimensional abstraction and photo-realistic three-dimensional perspective. "

Frank Gehry: Art + Architecture

The term "starchitect " suits him very well. His fame reached the designers of haute couture, Hollywood stars ... Even without being fond of architecture, nobody can ignore Frank Gehry and his extraordinary creations , against the foot of ambient post-modernism foremost among them the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Frank Owen Goldenberg known to O'Gehry Frank is one of the architects who have profoundly revolutionized the forms and ideas in architecture has arrived turn cities into open-air museums which is exceptional.

Some even use the term "genius " to describe his ability to develop structures of increasing complexity. Frank Gehry has exploded left his formal imagination to generate a series hyper stylized works recognizable

all ... But there is, as always, downside . Some critics are quick to say that Gehry is made in a mold and that its projects tend to repeat themselves but I find it quite ironic and it's a defect of the current system: the architects offer a clear style and customers ask them reproductions of this style: branding becomes the architect of his trap.

The star system has affected the architecture late, compared to other arts and cultural sectors. Through starchitects as Gehry, the public is now open to "more experimental works" while productions of Le Corbusier have been frankly hated at the time of their creation ...
