Les idées se multiplient, pour tous les goûts, et font la part belle à l’écologie. Thinking Beyond the Station. You are cutting it close, rushing to catch your bus or train.
Just as you arrive to the station/stop, you hear the heart-crushing sound of acceleration. You look up, it’s rolling down the line. It’s gone. Now you’ll have thirty long, lonely minutes to dwell on your near miss as cars careen past you. Your eyes scan the area. Far too often this is the scenario that typifies the transit experience. Through Placemaking, stations and stops become focal points in a community, especially if there is an associated plaza or public space.

Published on March 22, 2012. Occupying an entire city block, LentSpace acts as a platform for rotating exhibitions of contemporary art complemented by various public programs. The infrastructure and master plan of LentSpace includes a tree nursery and an operable fence. The tree nursery provides foliage and shade for the site while also incubating street trees to be distributed at a later time throughout the surrounding blocks. In response to the client’s requirement of enclosing the space with a seven foot fence, we designed a moveable sculptural fence facing Duarte Square that can enclose or open the site to different degrees, creating an array of social spaces.
Looking more like a piece of furniture than a security measure, the fence also serves as a public amenity in the form of benches and wall panels for exhibitions on the edge of LentSpace. . © Dean Kaufman. . © Interboro .

Portal De La Percepción / Rojkind Arquitectos (290848) Works on Paper: Design Miami / Miami Design. Greetings from gorgeous South Florida where I have been soaking up the sun and art fairs for the past few days.
I will refrain from telling you just how perfect the weather has been here as I know my friends in New York are freezing and Paris is covered in a very rare blanket of snow. Suffice to say, Miami was everything I had hoped for as a pre-Christmas getaway! I will also refrain from giving you a blow-by-blow description of the multitude of art fairs occurring simultaneously with the big attraction, Art Basel Miami Beach. Let me just say that Art Basel was much more energetic and successful than last year but not as go-go as 2007. Everyone I spoke with seemed very pleased and there were pieces marked sold on every booth. Flat Pack: 20 Creative Furniture Designs for Cramped Living. Raumlabor » Spacebuster. Tee Off During Tea Break With Walmart Brazil. What better way to fight off labels like “faceless corporate monster” than planting a mini-golf course on your head office roof!
That’s right, I’m talking about Walmart getting together with the boisterous designers at Guto Requena Studios, who also brought us a 3-D printed voice chair. They incorporated this quirky feature at Walmart’s Brazillian head office in São Paulo, to apparently alleviate board-meeting boredom and promote work-place harmony. A mini-golf course provides a friendly alternative to visions of Patrick Bateman types, driving golf balls off of skyscraper terraces.
Is Walmart pushing a down-to-earth, ‘fun’ image, which has been adopted by other ‘fun’ industry giants? Turenscape Design Institute - Project - Link the City to Nature - Image-23. REACTIVATE!! Part 2, Instant urbanism. REACTIVATE!! Is a two-fold exhibition which runs until late August, at the Espai d' Art Contemporani de Castelló, near Valencia in Spain. The first part, which i covered earlier this week (see REACTIVATE!! Part 1, Urban reanimations and the minimal intervention and Retired priests have all the fun) engages with recent architecture projects which makes the most of disused, outworn or inadequate urban spaces and buildings to create striking new edifices.
