Avdio Video Disco (I listen, I see, I learn), Middle school complex for 700 students + Auditorium in Martigny, Switzerland | microcities. The complex is related to the existing context on two main levels. The first is on the landscape scale: The building confronts the mountains at the borders of the city creating a feeling of inclusion within a panorama constantly above the horizon. The height variations reflect the existing skyline, while the excavations relate to the feeling / perception of constant inclusion in a higher context.
At the same time the plan takes into account and reinforces the local urban system, characterized by an alternation of empty and full spaces. The project gives the site a strong and recognizable structure to make the nature of outdoor spaces more clear and readable. Two different types of open spaces are generated by the building: the public ones dedicated to the city, and the courtyards (semi-open spaces), reserved to the students of the school.

Sitio y paisaje (reino público) Como parte del plan de reinserción social del gobierno local, en esta área se construyó el segundo metrocable, cuya primera estación está situada a metros de la biblioteca y se conecta con un área peatonal por medio de explanadas verdes que siguen la pendiente natural del terreno. El lote, que se encontraba vacío, está delimitado en su borde sur por una cárcel; desarrollándose y abriéndose hacia el lado opuesto, la biblioteca retoma la topografía del lugar y se apoya en la pendiente que desciende en sentido sur-norte. De este modo, el proyecto se conforma como una arquitectura de ladera y genera conexiones con el entorno. Frente a la fachada norte, que es la única que se desarrolla como un único plano y sobre un mismo nivel, en el punto más bajo de la biblioteca, se extiende una gran terraza urbana plantada con acacias.
Este circuito y explanada-parque puede tomarse también desde la terraza escalonada que acompaña el perfil de la fachada occidental. Steven Holl Architects Designs Library and Campus Masterplan in Malawi, Africa. Steven Holl Architects Designs Library and Campus Masterplan in Malawi, Africa Steven Holl Architects have revealed plans for a new library and campus design in Malawi, coinciding with the project’s approval by The Miracle for Africa Foundation. To be constructed of local stone, bamboo and concrete, the library will provide 66,000 square feet (6,132 square meters) of study and gathering space to the community. The 66,000 sq. ft. library is organized via a section that provides maximum reflected light to the interior with optimum solar PV collection on the roofs The library has been organized using a tiered section that will provide maximum reflected light to the free plan interior space, with meeting rooms and archives housed within glass, humidity-controlled enclosures.
A rain collection pool in the center of the plan will direct visitors to the main circulation desk and bounce rippling reflections throughout the building in a “cloud-like light.” News via Steven Holl Architects. This Recreation of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is Built with Shipping Containers. This Recreation of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is Built with Shipping Containers All the world’s a stage – quite literally so, in the case of the Container Globe, a proposal to reconstruct a version of Shakespeare’s famous Globe Theatre with shipping containers. Staying true to the design of the original Globe Theatre in London, the Container Globe sees repurposed containers come together in a familiar form, but in steel rather than wood.
Founder Angus Vail hopes this change in building component will give the Container Globe both a "punk rock" element and international mobility, making it as mobile as the shipping containers that make up its structure. The project has been spearheaded by Vail, with Nicholas Leahy of Perkins Eastman acting as the project’s lead architect and Michael Ludvik as structural engineer.
The two have previously worked together on the TKTS Booth in Times Square, and Leahy also has previous experience working on the London Globe in the 1980s. Asian Culture Complex / UnSangDong Architects + Kim Woo Il. In the design proposal for the Asian Culture Complex, UnSangDong Architects + Kim Woo II constitutes a stage that acts as a new container for the culture and everyday events.
If the new stage for the city is creating an empty open space out of penetrations pathways and plazas, making the new ‘city stage’ is the same as to conduct an enormous mapping operation with penetrating programs and landscape. They propose the Asian Culture Complex as the earth in between creation and disappearance.
The earth that is transformed into fragmented pieces and become urban landscape filled with memories of the site and historical evolution of various spectrums of relationships.

Handmade School in Rudrapur | Architecture tends to be typecast as a glamorous vocation, staffed by creative types seeking to push the boundaries of form and aesthetics. Social architecture then, seems to be almost an uncool oxymoron. It conjures up images of no-frills pre-fab emergency housing, and rudimentary buildings built from scratch by volunteers. Their main priority is to serve people in need, so it is understandable that poetics will be of lowest priority. But as architects, we can surely do better. It is certainly heartening and exciting then, to witness a shift in the making of social architecture in Asia, in recent years.
A new segment of architects have begun to design poetic architecture, reinterpreting vernacular traditions that ingeniously contextualise the projects, as well as engaging the community through the process. The renowned Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, is a pioneer in this field. Image: It was a cheap, easy-and-quick-to-build, and recyclable solution.

CULTURAL CENTER BY GIORGIO POLIGIONI AND LORA NURKOVA. The concept idea for the building renovation is focused on developing a sustainable design to aim the feasibility of the future project. The plot is situated in the center of the urban area of Quarto Inferiore in Italy, the existing fabric is surrounded by residential buildings and in the district there is no piazza or any other public space. The existing industrial building has appreciable modern architectural characteristics which will reborn into a new design.
Our program is based on regeneration of the preexistence in a new center for culture offering a variaty of new uses and public spaces integrating it with the surrounding keeping alive the area all day. The existing industry will be segmented using its structural grid and part of the existing floors and facade generating a hybrid architecture where each part maintain its native identity.

" It is a vertical slice of city, 10 stories tall and 382' long, providing a 125 seat theater, a night café, and street level dining. The "sponge" concept transforms the building via a series of programmatic and bio-technical functions. The building has five large openings corresponding to main entrances, view corridors, and outdoor activity terraces. Large, dynamic openings are the lungs, bringing natural light down and moving air up. Each of the dormitory's single rooms has nine operable windows.

The design for BIG’s highly anticipated LEGO® “experience center” – a.k.a. The LEGO® House – has been released! Located in the heart of The Lego Group’s birthplace and home town of Billund, Denmark, the 7,600 square-meter building resembles “gigantic LEGO® bricks” that are “combined and stacked in a creative way to create an imaginative experience both outside and inside.” True to form, the 30 meter-tall structure will feature several exterior and multi-level access points that will remain open year-long to its estimated 250,000 annual visitors. Aside from its roof-top gardens and 1,900 square-meter public square, attractions will include a series of exhibition areas showcasing the “past, present and future of the LEGO® idea”, a cafe and an unique LEGO® store.
Take a video tour through the building after the break… Bjarke Ingles, founder of BIG stated: “It’s going to be looking at LEGO® from all its different aspects—LEGO® as an art form, its cultural impact.
