FOA, AZPML, Farshid Moussavi Architecture, Christian Richters · Bluemoon After commissioning Wiel Arets with a masterplan extension as big as itself, the City of Groningen decided to commission Toyo Ito with a super-masterplan aimed at turning both halves into one again. Toyo Ito proposed Bluemoon, an operation where one project in the inner city and another in the future extension will be commissioned to four different architects to trigger virtual links between both extensions to stitch them back together. We were given two sites: one in the Schuitenwerksquartier, an area historically characterised by boat traffic, sluices, docks, and pensions and facilities for the travellers and the merchandises arriving to the city, to be used for residential use. The other lays in the future extension, located in the former location of the power plants that used to feed Groningen with electricity. Next to the railroad tracks, at the entrance to the new area to be developed, the site is to be used for a temporary train station, and a marketplace.
archives & mythologie des lucioles An Open Letter to Our Colleagues Film and Museum Professionals in Russia and Abroad On 27 October 2014, the entire professional staff of the Moscow Cinema Museum – 22 employees, including all curators, archivists and film programmers – delivered to the Minister for Culture of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky, a letter informing him they resign their posts because of the impossibility of continuing their work under the new leadership of the Museum. On 1 July 2014, the Ministry for Culture chose not to extend the contract of Naum Kleiman, one of the founders of the Moscow Cinema Museum and its director for over 25 years. Instead, a new director was appointed: Larisa Solonitsyna, editor in chief of the newspaper "SK News", the official publication of the Association of Filmmakers of the Russian Federation.
Pablo Dellatorre, Gonzalo Viramonte · Corazón de Manzana A building in the center of the block, in Barrio Guemes, Cordoba, Argentina. Inhabited by a group of young artists, architects, designers, photographers, musicians, actors and publicists give it life. A few blocks from downtown and crossing an easement, is the access to the central courtyard of the complex where all the terraces from the apartments or studios overlook. This courtyard, decorated with vegetation, is crossed and divided into two by a semi translucent glass box containing the folded metal sheet stairs, leading to each of the units.
Max Dudler Architekt, Stefan Müller · Schwabinger Tor The project’s first completed structure, the mixed-use high-rise „N10“ is the architectural prelude for the newly created Schwabinger Tor quarter (developer: Jost Hurler Group), which will connect the urban areas between the city centre and the north of the city. Based on a masterplan by 03 Architekten, Max Dudler has developed four buildings for the site. The first building, which is now in use, was designed as a freestanding urban tower with a striking stone relief façade. The newly completed high-rise, N10, constitutes the highest point on the north end of the Schwabinger Tor quarter, and serves as an impressive landmark along Leopoldstraße.

A de-commissioned rail spur – once used for an industry-focused early 20th-century city – has evolved into a common passage for hikers and neighbours as it connects the local ravine pathway system to newly developed community areas such as the weekly farmers market at the revitalized Don Valley Brickworks.
Francisco Reina, Jesús Granada · Intervention on the Castle of Jimena de la Frontera The Castle in Jimena de la Frontera is located in the south eastern border of the province of Cádiz and the Los Alcornocales Nature Reserve, constituting the original settlement of the present city of Jimena de la Frontera. The compound colonizes a hill strategically located in the natural path between the Serranía de Ronda and Algeciras’s Bay, which is one of the reasons why it has been uninterruptedly occupied since the VIII century B.C. until the XIX century, when it was militarily reorganized for the last time during the Independence War. In a landscape of extraordinary beauty, its structures design a scenario filled with complex and intense relationships – inside and outside of the compound limits – which lends a great potentiality to the settlement.
Reiichi Ikeda, Yoshiro Masuda · IRO This is an interior design for a hair salon in Osaka, Japan. The interior design was by Reiichi Ikeda of reiichi ikeda design, and the graphic design including the logo design was by Yuma Harada of UMA/design farm. The two companies shared the concept with each other, and comprehensively directed the hair salon together. Generally, a hair salon has a conventional traffic line of waiting, shampooing, cutting, and so on. To specially add the uniqueness as a spice, I dotted with some visually standardized box-shaped objects such as furniture and a spot that have roles.
PROCESS5 DESIGN, Keishiro Yamada · T Weekend Residence This is a plan for a weekend residence in a certain place in Western Japan easily accessible from within Osaka city. The owner purchased a long and narrow sloping land with 13m of difference in elevation on a small hilltop overlooking the sea in the distance and wished to spend time playing various activities and relaxing at this place which are not possible in the city. In this lot of sloping land we have proposed a plan with four floors and a voluminous stairwell of over 10m in order to connect them through the center of the building that directs light and wind into the structure and allows the presence of each floor to be felt temperately. Each floor that is connected tgh this volume, which deviates from the scale of a living room, provides different view, light and wind environment.
Jacques Ferrier Architecture, Luc Boegly · La Mantilla La Mantilla answers the functional mix programme defined for the mixed development zone Jacques Coeur in Montpellier. With an approximately 32,000m² surface area, it provides shops, restaurants, housing, a student residence, offices and a public car park. The complex is designed as a coherent built landscape and organised around an interior garden that acts as its federating element, exemplifying the approach taken to the ongoing design of this city. Three grand staircases lead up to the 1st floor level hanging garden that provides users and residents with a pleasant social space opening onto the city. As well as the staircases, there are also a number of openings that contribute to creating a feeling of transparency and lightness.
