Sustainability. A façade that cleans the air. Photo credits: Elegant Embellishments The idea that mankind has already pumped-out too much carbon and other pollutants into the atmosphere to avoid climate disaster, suggests that an alternative approach must be found to avert melt-down.
One idea is to filter the pollutants out of the air in some way, but how? This façade on the Torre de Especialidades at the Hospital Manuel Gea Gonzalez in Mexico City provides an interesting approach. The façade is created by Elegant Embellishments using their product Prosolve 370e. The façade modules are coated with titanium dioxide (Ti02) that is activated by daylight. The form of the panels is derived from a “quasicrystal grid” and produces a notion of randomness using only two types of pattern.
The façade can be retrofitted to existing structures as an active and decorative screen. Gratitude to eVolo.
Brick Pattern House / Alireza Mashhadmirza. Architects: Alireza Mashhadmirza Location: Tehran, Iran Year: 2011 Photographs: Courtesy of Alireza Mashhadmirza This project has been shortlisted for the housing category for the 2012 world architecture festival and awarded by memar, an iranian magazine of architecture, as one of the best architectural achievements of the year.
The “Brick Pattern House “designed by alireza mashhadimirza. Brick pattern house is a residence located in poor area in Tehran. In my country architecture is a luxurious fantasy, but in much country which architecture is a reality. The building is located in one of the poorest districts of Tehran in jeyhoon area, where let alone the architecture, you can hardly find a building that has the minimum standard requirements of a sane building. The professional fee the owner could pay to me was so low that I could not pay a resident and tight supervision on the building and on the other hand the workers could not be left with complex executive drawings. Main : Alephograph.com. LARGO-PLENUS 2022. SGG Vario. Prada Boutique, Aoyama, TokyoNew standards set by star architects and Pritzker prize winners Herzog & deMeuron's new building in Tokyo for the cult brand PRADA.The architectural application of three-dimensional curved frameless glazing had previously been virtually impossible.
Once the clients and Herzog & de Meuron had selected Eckelt Glas as the right supplier, the feasibility of the glass construction was checked with the aid of a computer program and a trial set-up based on the complicated geometrical shapes required. The making of the necessary calculations by Eckelt Glas, together with the architects and the metal fabricator, took more than a year to complete and ultimately led to the conclusion that an adjusted version of SGG Vario could be produced which would satisfy the aesthetic and technical requirements (e.g. earthquake and fire resistance).Saint Gobian Glass Vario is a patented insulating glass which typically creates the appearance of a complete glass facade. Unfinished Freshwater Mother of Pearl Tiles. The Unfinished Freshwater Mother Of Pearl range has clean symmetrical lines and a natural vibrance.
The surface is unpolished, left raw as it is found in nature. The tiles consist of freshwater Mother of Pearl on a backing. Several backings are available: ceramic, acrylic, magnesium board, mesh, and aluminium honeycomb. As the shells are natural products, no two are exactly the same. Therefore the tiles also will always show a slight variation in colour and structure. Review websites. OpenBuildings / the crowdsourced buildings database. Dwellinggawker. Drawing ARCHITECTURE.

The Architects Brain - The Architects Brain 11/11 ‘In pre-modern epo... ‘In pre-modern epochs, renewal of practice was always initiated by looking backwards, as a return to the fundamentals.
The cult of the new/young first came with modernity. Are young offices still obsessed with the ideas of idols, former employers and teachers? Or are young practices in architecture today considered to be especially innovative? Are they generating new knowledge or just recycling winning formulas? If truly innovative new practices still exist, from what fields of knowledge do they get their input?’ Team: Konstantinos Pantazis, Marianna Rentzou, Lida Stamou collaborator: Joana Sá Lima.
