Beijing's Forbidden City to be Opened to the Public for the First Time, with Restoration by Selldorf Architects. Beijing's Forbidden City to be Opened to the Public for the First Time, with Restoration by Selldorf Architects The World Monuments Fund (WMF) has announced Annabelle Selldorf as architect of the new Qianlong Garden Interpretation Center within the iconic Forbidden City in Beijing, China.
One of few American architects to lead architectural projects at the site, Selldorf’s scheme will allow the public access to the Qianlong Garden for the first time, permitted through a new Visitor’s Center. Selldorf, working with her NYC-based firm Selldorf Architects, will design the interpretation center within an existing, restored structure of the Qianlong Garden’s second courtyard. Designed as three distinct halls surrounding an open pavilion, the different spaces within the restoration will offer a unique perspective on the past and present of the Forbidden City. Construction of the interior of the interpretation center is set to begin in late 2019. News via: World Monuments Fund. Historic Ottoman Architecture Adorned With Elaborate Birdhouse Designs.

Z wizytą u architekta Tym razem Ignacy Krieger zawędrował ze swoim obiektywem na ul. Sebastiana, gdzie pod numerem 12, w 1883 roku swój dom własny wystawił architekt Karol Knaus. Zdjęcie, które wtedy powstało, choć prezentuje jeden z wielu tego typu budynków, jest bardzo intymne w swym klimacie. Tuż za bramą wjazdową, w cieniu gałęzi wielkiego drzewa, dostrzec możemy gospodarzy tego miejsca. Karol Maksymilian Knaus (1846-1904) urodził się w Płazie pod Chrzanowem. Brał też udział w pracach restauratorskich przy krakowskich kościołach. Knaus opuścił ziemski padół nagle. 14 marca 1904 roku zmarł na zawał serca podczas narady jaką odbywał wspólnie z architektem Janem Zawiejskim i budowniczym miejskim panem Grabowskim.
Warto dokładnie obejrzeć wspomniane zdjęcie Kriegera. Inne interesujące szczegóły dojrzeć możemy w oknach willi. Warto dodać, że współczesny Kraków nie zapomniał o Karolu Knausie, w 2015 roku na Kazimierzu, przy ul. BAZYLIKA MARIACKA W KRAKOWIE | PAJORAMA. Norway's New Hotel in the Arctic Circle Will Produce More Energy Than It Uses. A new hotel coming to Norway’s section of the Arctic Circle will be more than just a place to stay for a stunning fjord view. The Svart hotel, which is being billed as the world’s first "energy-positive" hotel, is designed to “set a new standard in sustainable travel,” according to Robb Report. Built by a tourism company called Arctic Adventure Norway and designed by Snøhetta, an international architecture firm headquartered in Oslo, it’s one of the first buildings created according to the standards of Powerhouse, a coalition of firms (including Snøhetta) devoted to putting up buildings that will produce more power over the course of 60 years than they take to build, run, and eventually demolish.
It will be located on a fjord at the base of Svartisen, one of the largest glaciers on Norway’s mainland and part of Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park. The design of the hotel is geared toward making the facility as energy-efficient as possible. Svart is set to open in 2021.

For this lakeside house in Japan, Tokyo-based studio Sugawaradaisuke used five interlocking levels to create multiple viewing platforms both inside and outside the property.
Rather than a traditional two-storey structure, the architecture practice designed a multi-level layout for the cottage, that gives the occupants multiple perspectives of the surrounding forest. The house, called called Nojiri-ko Nature Platforms, sits near the shore of Lake Noriji in the Kiso Mountains of Japan's Nagano Prefecture. Each of the five platforms is made from different materials in different sizes and set at different heights. Floors double as benches, shelves, and even beds. A sheltered outdoor space is created on the ground floor where the house's larger first floor juts out overhead. At ground level the first platform is a semi-indoor space that can be used for storing firewood and as a winter garden. The third level of Sugawaradaisuke's house is fully indoors and spans the full width of the property.
Donald Insall Associates restores Victorian glasshouse at Kew Gardens. The Temperate House conservatory at Kew Gardens in Richmond upon Thames, London has reopened to the public following a five year restoration by Donald Insall Associates. The London-based firm, which specialises in consulting on historic buildings, was appointed as conservation architects by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 2012. A masterpiece of 19th-century design, the Grade I listed building is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world.
Over 190 metres long, the plant house has a rectangular plan, with pitched roofs, stone columns and ribs of wrought iron. Designed and built by architect Decimus Burton in 1860, the Temperate House is home to 10,000 plants, many of which are rare or endangered species. In the 1970s it fell into disrepair, before being restored in the early 1980s. In 2003 UNESCO declared the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew a World Heritage Site, but in 2012 English Heritage proposed placing the Temperate House on the Buildings at Risk register. Project credits: Afrofuturism is "creating a different narrative for Africa" say creatives. The success of the movie Black Panther and its afrofuturist aesthetic has put Africa in the spotlight as a growing force in design, technology and fashion, according to designers from the continent.
African designers, architects and filmmakers told Dezeen that the Marvel movie, which features a black superhero and is set in fictional African country Wakanda, has focused attention on Africa's already burgeoning creative scene. "I am so over the moon with Black Panther, said Sunu Goneera, a Zimbabwean filmmaker who has been working in Hollywood. "It's a game changer and the opportunity is wide open. I'm excited to take our stories to the world. " Speaking at the Design Indaba conference in Cape Town last month, Goneera said: "As a continent, I feel a rising tide raising all ships, not just one. " "You can look to afrofuturism for the aesthetic [of Black Panther]," production designer Hannah Beachler told Dezeen in an exclusive interview last month. "It's a language of rebellion. " 10 African architects and designers championing afrofuturism. Afrofuturism has become the buzzword for the fast-growing creative scene across Africa.
Here are 10 figures that are championing the movement. Osborne Macharia This creative photographer from Nairobi, Kenya, describes all his work as being within the afrofuturist genre. A recent commission from Marvel saw him produce a series of images for the Black Panther cinema release, bringing together Maasai traditions and science fiction. Diébédo Francis Kéré Many people will be familiar with Kéré, as the designer of last year's Serpentine Pavilion.
His aim is to show that traditional building methods and materials can be combined with high-tech engineering. Selly Raby Kane This Senegalese fashion designer is known for her surrealist streetwear, which merges traditional African prints with contemporary cuts. Many of her sci-fi-influenced collections reference her home town of Dakar, and she counts Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé among her fanbase.

A 1960s prefabricated dwelling in northern Indiana has been preserved by Karen Valentine and Bob Coscarelli, who purchased the home without ever seeing it in person. The Frost House is located in Michigan City, a town along Lake Michigan where many Chicago residents have summer homes. Other notable architecture in the area includes several "Century of Progress" homes that were exhibited at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair.
Valentine, a talent strategy executive, and Coscarelli, a commercial photographer, purchased the residence in 2016 from original owners Dr Robert Frost and his wife, Amelia, who were in their 90s at the time. Valentine and Coscarelli have since spent considerable effort researching the house and even created a website for it. Built in 1964, the three-bedroom home was designed by Emil Tessin, a MIT graduate. The homes came with exposed steel that was painted black, and aluminium panels that were faced with baked-enamel offered in 41 different colours.

Different Types of Houses Around the World Showcase Different Lifestyles. Throughout history, people have fabricated shelters that fit their surroundings. With a universal set of criteria in mind—including access to tools, availability of materials, and type of climate—individuals from all over the world constantly reinterpret, reimagine, and redefine the concept of home.
To many of us, a home is a four-walled fixture on a permanent foundation. But to others, it is a snowy sanctuary, a hidden cave, or even a floating boat. Here, we explore these different types of houses in order to understand how and why such a wide range of shelters exist across the globe. Let's take a tour of different types of houses around the world. Cave Homes (Matmata, Tunisia) In Matmata, Tunisia, cave homes—ancient abodes that have been carved out of sandstone—keep people comfortable all year long.

Feline Fine: Japanese Line of Miniature Modern Furniture Made for Cats. Cats are big in Japan. With their faces showing up on virtually every product imaginable, it’s safe to say that they’re a huge part of the nation’s pop culture. In Japanese folklore, cats symbolize good fortune, and putting a “maneki neko” (beckoning cat) statue in front of your business is believed to help draw in customers and overall prosperity. There’s even an entire island, Tashirojima, where thousands of stray cats thrive without the presence of dogs and outnumber the local human population.
So it’s no surprise that Japanese designers would create furniture specifically for feline usage that rivals both the quality and craftsmanship of its human-sized counterparts. Our feline friends are decidedly unpretentious about their digs. Hiromatsu Wood Work Co. built a pine couch with green upholstery, while Tateno Mokuzai of Onishi Wood Crafts produced a cat bed with a dark wooden frame. In a post about the project, 88-year-old designer Yu Watanabe explains how the idea came about. Spiraling Treetop Tower Offers Breathtaking Views of the Forest. Denmark-based design firm EFFEKT, unveils plans for a spiraling observation tower that is currently being built south of Copenhagen. Aimed to offer panoramic views across the surrounding forest of Gisselfeld Kloster, Haslev, the structure itself will seem one with its surroundings through the usage of wood from the local trees to comprise its lattice structure, as well as the implementation of Corten, a weathered type of steel that form a stable rust-like appearance.
The 13-tiered hourglass-shaped tower will provide a new perspective that includes views of hilly landscape with lakes, wetlands, and creeks, in addition to an immersive experience from within and above the surrounding trees. In addition, the walkway will integrate elements into the route for visitors to learn and interact with, while eventually concluding with the observation deck. This new development is part of Camp Adventure, an existing adventure sports facility that already include treetop climbing and aerial zip lines.
Tato and Phorm combine Japanese and Australian design for Brisbane home. This hillside house in Brisbane, designed by Japanese studio Tato Architects and Australian office Phorm Architecture, features outdoor living spaces raised up on stilts. The client asked Yo Shimada of Tato Architects for a house with a minimalist aesthetic. He decided to use a stilted home that his studio previously completed near Kobe, Japan, as a starting point for the design. Working in collaboration with Brisbane-based Phorm Architecture, he proposed a house that combines elements of Japanese design with a traditional type of Australian house called the Queenslander – a wooden stilted building with a veranda, which is prevalent in Brisbane's suburbs. This result in a two-storey house where every room has an adjoining outdoor area.
