Bohlin to lecture at NSAD

Posted on by by prettyflash
Category: Architecture, Design, Fine Arts, Interior Design, Landscape design

The NewSchool of Architecture and Design sure know how to reel in the big names for their students. Only a few weeks back we were discussing the exciting Spring Design Studio being hosted by the Bjarke Ingels Group for fourteen NSAD students. Now, we hear that architectural magnate Peter Bohlin is to give a lecture on the 1st of May titled Soft Modernism – the nature of circumstance.

Bohlin, part of internationally recognised firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ), has been involved with a host of amazing projects such as ongoing work designing stores for Apple, work for public institutions and some big name residential housing. Check it out here – there is so much to look at! In fact there was so much to choose from that I spent an age picking one out to share with you. Anyway, I finally settled on this extraordinary creation, which is the Waipolu Gallery and Studio built in Oahu, Hawaii. This structure is an unusual shape but seems to meld with the landscape effortlessly. I love the huge windows that let the outside in, while still shielding the artworks from the strong Hawaiian sunlight.

This lecture is a must-see for NSAD students, if you’re looking for an inspiring viewpoint on architecture and its place within society this promises to be a goodie!

Mirador House – Chile

Posted on by by prettyflash
Category: Architecture, Fine Arts, Furniture Design, Interior Design, Landscape design

I find that when I’m looking at buildings I start to dream about living different lives. I guess that’s what successful architecture is all about, creating a place that transports you to somewhere distinctly new. And that’s why I stopped and salivated over Mirador House in Chile. Architectural firm Matias Zegers designed this beautiful wine-tasting house for Casas del Bosque Winery in the Casablanca Valley. I can’t think of anything better than sipping on some delicious wines in this setting, bring it on, buy me the tickets and I’m there.

One of my little daydream scenarios that has been on repeat in my head for years is that I would love to own and style a bar. It’s not a very realistic proposition but I have thought a lot about it. Because of this I have carefully noted the lighting and style of many a drinking environment. Atmosphere is key. This is where Chilean firm Matias Zegers have hit a homerun, staying true to their edict that they aim to “evoke sensations…to create atmospheres.” Everything about Mirador House channels sophistication and tranquility. There is a real ‘getting back to nature’ feel to the design, which roots the architectural space to the vineyard that it is built on. The materials consist of glass and land dyed concrete; the orange clay of the region has been used so that it melds into the landscape. Don’t even get me started on the tasting area, there is nothing, I repeat nothing, wrong with this room. I’m enjoying the uninterrupted view and simplicity of this place, as well as the more private courtyard settings.

Excellent architecture coupled with wine. Nice work Matias Zegers. I want to see what you’re doing next….click here if you do too!

BIG opportunities at NSAD

Posted on by by prettyflash
Category: Architecture, Design, Fine Arts, Interior Design, Landscape design

I’ve been looking for an opportunity to talk about this project ever since I came across it. Designing an apartment building in New York must be a daunting prospect, especially if you want it to stand apart from the overused straight up and down variety that we’re all familiar with. Well here is one way to do it ….. somehow this building just breathes. Who is responsible? BIG. Here on Frontier we’re no stranger to the Bjarke Ingels Group, we happen to think incredibly highly of them in fact! Remember Superkilen, that superb park in Copenhagen that we wrote about a couple of months ago? Same firm, same amount of genius.

One of the aspects that really stands out to me is the overall shape of the W57 (West 57th) building. A mash-up between New York skyrise apartments and old-fashioned European courtyards is what we’re looking at here. It works, and what’s more, it looks flawless. I love how the design aims to capture light from every possible point, and each apartment is individualized with separate balconies. W57 is under construction at the moment, and judging from the plans is going to look amazing when it’s finished. Check out the clip to get an idea of how it sits within it’s locality; it’s an amazing projection.

And now for the exciting part. The NewSchool of Architecture + Design is offering a special spring design studio to be led by partner and director of business development for BIG, Kai-Uwe Bergmann. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the 14 students selected. They will explore BIG’s ethos in relation to hedonistic sustainability. Part of their time will be spent looking at freeways and how to make them more community friendly, a challenging and applaudable issue. We’re looking forward to seeing big BIG ideas from these lucky NSAD students!

To see more from BIG click here, it’s a veritable treasure trove of amazing architecture. I highly recommend having a browse.

Art and space

Posted on by by prettyflash
Category: Architecture, collaboration, Design, Fine Arts, Interactive, Interior Design, Landscape design

Ever wondered what a building would look like if a massive safety airbag went off inside it and squished out of all the windows? Well now you can stop wondering and start looking at the images above. Okay, okay, I admit, this isn’t what happened here but it kinda gives me the feeling that these buildings have just had to stop suddenly. These innovative constructions were dreamt up and made by collaborative duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann.

The installations are all part of Lang-Baumann’s Comfort Series, a long standing project spanning at least five years and featuring a number of international destinations. Using huge inflatable plastics in different environments is what this series is all about. It creates questions about space, and how we use it. Often the end result is an unknown. Huge tubes end up inhabiting whole rooms and blocking doorways, forcing the viewer to walk around environments in unconventional ways. In day to day life windows and doors have definite functions, not so in Comfort Series.

For me the icing on this bouncy balloonish cake is the illumination that emanates from these large sculptures. My favourite pictures are of the over-sized ‘light bars’ in the back of the speedboat in the Japanese port of Yokohama (this was part of Smart Illumination Yokohama 2012). Simple but cool. Imagine if there were dozens, no wait, hundreds of these dotted all through the water, I’d like to see it.

Lang-Baumann have a zillion more great projects, click here to check them out today!
