Louisiana State Museum LOCATION: St. Amant, Louisiana AREA: 17,000 Square Feet CONSTRUCTION COST: $2.5 Million COMPLETION: 2004 The design of the Holy Rosary Complex – comprised of an oratory, administrative building, and religious education building – for a rural Catholic Parish in South Louisiana, is an honest exploration of form, function, light and materials that results in an engaging and profound study in sacred space. Neither opulent nor austere, Holy Rosary Chapel presents a thoughtful meditation on sacred spaces and the spatial embodiment of spiritual experience. The masterplan for the rural campus creates a strong sense of place and draws a distinction between the program’s sacred and secular components.

The Soviet Avant-Garde: International Reflections of the OSA-ASNOVA (Constructivist-Rationalist) Split « The Charnel-House Architectural Experiment from Nikolai Ladovskii's Studio at VKhUTEMAS, 1924 In his landmark structural analysis of the antinomical tendencies existing within Russian culture (broadly termed “Culture One” and “Culture Two”),[1] Vladimir Paperny locates a subset of contradictions operative in the context of the former considered by itself. This second-order oppositional pair he identifies corresponds to the two main positive bases of modernist architecture we have already set forth: the contours of abstract art on the one hand, and modern industrialism (and more specifically, the machine) on the other. While it is difficult to see how this opposition fits into Paperny’s broader scheme of Russian history as a whole — for he claims that these cultural patterns recur, and the existence of this particular binary in earlier epochs seems unlikely — his conceptual division of these two tendencies is entirely correct with reference to the 1920s.

Man and Nature « The Charnel-House Nature! We are encircled and enclasped by her — powerless to depart from her, and powerless to find our way more deeply into her being. Without invitation and without warning she involves us in the orbit of her dance, and drives us onward until we are exhausted and fall from her arm.[…]We live in the midst of her, and yet to her we are alien. She parleys incessantly with us, and to us she does not disclose her secret.
JENSEN ARCHITECTS Ann Hamilton Tower Audience and performer are intertwined inside this tower located at the Oliver Ranch in Alexander Valley. Designed by the artist Ann Hamilton, with our office as architect of record, the tower was imagined as a space for performance. A double helix stair weaves in three dimensions performers on one stair and audience on the other—in close proximity but never direct contact. The 24’ diameter tower is several stories tall with seating and light niches cut into the thick concrete walls. Now you can buy a prefab IKEA house Image by ideabox.
