Architecture News - World Architects, Building News | Building 40 inspirational architects websites showcased - Aurora Share on Tumblr Great designs of architects’ website are something of a paradox. Many website designs that we’ve seen created by architects are either obnoxious uses of flash or crucially, so minimal and sparse it hurts – or nightmares to navigate. Perhaps its the fact that architects fancy themselves as aesthetic and artistic connoisseurs – and in this pursuit, the message more often takes secondary place to the visuals – the reverse of what works really well on the web. We’ve also seen a few architecture firms who fancy themselves as web designers themselves, attempting the craft themselves, and often failing miserably. So – here follows a collection of the best architects sites that we’ve found from around the web. We’ve categorised this collection into sites with and without Flash, as the debate on appropriate use of Flash wagers on, architects sites in particular seem to be unable to avoid its allure.

Architectural Digest architecture + urbanism - Aurora De Baarsjes in Amsterdam is a multicultural neighborhood that is home to people from 129 different countries. The city district wanted to boost community life in the neighborhood. The authorities therefore chose a building which combines swimming pools, a therapy pool, fitness, aerobics, a sauna and steam bath, a party centre, café and childcare alongside a fast food restaurant (jobs for the unemployed in the neighborhood). Each individual element attracts different target groups, so the entire population will be able to use it in the end. Now, with its green façades and roof, Sportplaza Mercator marks the start and end of the Rembrandtpark. The building was designed as a city – a society in miniature – inside a cave.

Archinect | Connecting Architects Since 1997 Quake-proof, zero-emission ‘All Seasons Tent Tower’ | Designbuzz : Design ideas and concepts - Aurora Developed as a part of the Mercedes-Benz hotel tower competition for the city of Yerevan, Armenia, the “All Seasons Tent Tower” from OFIS Architecture is a quake-proof building, which is capable of resisting gravity load and the forces resulting from earthquakes. Featuring two terraced cylindrical towers, accommodating a restaurant, pool, spa and fitness center and bar in the higher tower, the tent tower integrates photovoltaic cells into the atrium roof to generate solar power. Presenting a dominant view from the city, the next-gen architecture also houses a hotel and apartments, together with a business center, shops and garage. Wrapping the terraces in high performance skin to reduce the solar gain in summers, the All Seasons Tent Tower makes use of a pipe system with embedded concrete slab that not only allows cooling without draft problems in hot weather but also provides heating during the chilly winter.
