Inspiracja dnia - Tunel dla kota - zdjęcie. Impossible architecture by filip dujardin. Jan 02, 2013 impossible architecture by filip dujardin filip dujardinhighlight gallery, san franciscoon from 7th february through til march 29th, 2013 belgian artist filip dujardin is also an architectural photographer by profession and extends his fascination with the artform through his fictional building series -his latest works being shown as part of his solo exhibition at highlight gallery in san francisco. dujardin’s photomontages are a collection of impossible structures created using a digital collaging technique from photographs of real buildings in and around ghent, belgium. most of his architectural creations are structurally implausible, however, seem perfectly ordinary at first glance, revealing their absurdity only as the viewer notices missing or incongruous details. the opus lays claim to his belgian cultural heritage, referencing surrealists such as rené magritte and raoul servais – carefully weaving the surreal into the rich urban language.

Betonowe bunkry, drewniane domki, wiejskie wiaty... Rozmowa z 'kolekcjonerem' znikających przystanków. Sloping House / Atelier 37.2. Architects: Atelier 37.2 Location: Paris, France Collaborators: Anna Checchi, Christophe Bernard Year: 2012 Photographs: Courtesy of Atelier 37.2 Sloping House is a makeshift shelter that clings to the side of an extinct volcano in the Puy de Serveix, in France’s Massif Central.
Built from recycled timber by the artists themselves, this sculptural one-person refuge, seems to erupt from the grassy slope, as if the structure’s wooden planks are being flung out of the earth only to reform into the neat lines of an archetypal hut. On entering, you will be forced to crouch, as in a boat descending a wave. You will have the feeling of literally plunging into a skyless landscape and it is only when you seat yourself down on the strange, angular recliner within that the sky will reappear and you will experience the unique sensation of this peculiar vantage point.

Reading Between the Lines / Gijs Van Vaerenbergh. Architects: Gijs Van Vaerenbergh Location: Looz, Limburg, Belgium Stability: Ney&Partners Execution: Cravero bvba (steal) / MEG (fundaments) Initiator: Provincie Limburg / Z33 Year: 2011 Photographs: Filip Dujardin ‘Reading between the lines’ is a project by the duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, a collaboration between young Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs (Leuven, 1983) and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh (Leuven, 1983).
Since 2007, they have been realizing projects in public space together that start from their architectural background, but have an artistic intention. Their projects do not always originate out of the initiative of a classical client, for example, and carry a large degree of autonomy. Their primary concerns are experiment, reflection, a physical involvement with the end result and the input of the viewer. Atomic lighting tubes by emandes studio.

Villa SSK by Takeshi Hirobe Architects. Takeshi Hirobe Architects have designed the Villa SSK in Chiba, Japan.
Project description The location for this project was adjacent to the calm and tranquil waters of Tokyo Bay. Planter House / no.555. Architects: no.555 Location: Yokohama, Japan Architect In Charge: Takuya Tsuchida Structural Design: Megumi Akimoto Area: 188 sqm Year: 2012 Photographs: Courtesy of no.555 The project NDA (PLANTER) is located on top of a steep slope in “Yamate Bluff”, Yokohama, Japan.
This area offers panoramic views over the city and the Mount Fuji. In the vicinity there is a small but beautiful park that has many preserved houses and is popular among tourists. Since I believe that building design should respect and challenge the potential of an area and the direct environment, the NDA project is deeply connected to the “Yamate Bluff Load” characteristics. The “Yamate Bluff Load” is an area featuring many retaining walls. Reducing the standard size of the concrete panels affected the amount of mortar joints, thus creating a somehow more busy pattern. Top 10: Sexy Staircases. There's something sexy about staircases: the curvy lines, the abstract geometry, the drama they add to a room!
Stairs belong to some of the oldest architectural structures in the world, dating all the way back to 6000 BC. Since then they have captivated the imaginations of countless architects and artists, including Oscar Niemeyer and Olafur Eliasson, who have taken a stab in exploring the sheer endless variations in styles and shapes.

The building uses unseasoned larch/cedar/poplar/douglas fir/spruce as appropriate, uses wood for heating and also for insulation. It is (as far as we are aware) the world’s first green timber building insulated to passivehaus standards, with passivhaus airtightness.
