paavo: Thomas Hillier, of Emperor’s Castle fame, has sent in a newly documented but chronologically older project of his called “The Migration of Mel and Judith.” “The Migration of Mel and Judith,” Hillier writes, “was the pre-cursor to The Emperor’s Castle and my first real exploration into using narrative as the vehicle for generating and scrutinizing my architectural ideas. It was also where I began using craft-based techniques and 2/3-dimensional assemblage to illustrate the design process.” The Migration, though, is not only an entire storyline packaged inside a beautifully realized, miniature architectural world—it’s also told inside a lampshade. via chazhuttonsfsm

paavo: thom mayne’s mind HONEYCOMB [detail] | Thom Mayne “What’s on Thom Mayne’s mind these days? Better yet, what’s in it? The reason this matters at all is that he is one of a handful of architects working today who is building projects that are powerful visually and experientially, and are at the same time challenging in terms of the ideas that shape them. There is something to be learned from what he thinks and the way he thinks it. In his mid-sixties now and at what would seem the height of his career, Mayne is clearly restless. At the same moment when his large-scale commissions are in various stages of design or construction, he has embarked on an exploratory project—a series of physical models—that challenges the architecture he has created up to now, raising new questions about the nature of architectural form and its meanings. Mayne is best known for his masterly, adventurous deployment of a technological architectural language in the service of complex programs of use that, more recently, also aim for ecological sustainability. There has never been any doubt about the importance he places on form and its transformations, as the name of his office—Morphosis—more than suggests. Whatever architecture may be, Mayne seems to think, it must all come together in tectonic, constructed form that coherently takes a place in the sometimes colliding worlds of the natural and the human. His new model studies push far beyond his previous work, coupling his growing interest in architecture-as-landscape with evocations of innovative technologies of building and, perhaps more importantly, of designing built space.” LebbeusWoods via cerreyes-dpr-bcn

paavo: Exhibition: Soviet Constructivism at ALVA Recent graduates of the University of Western Australia have exhibited recent work, Soviet Constructivism. Each student selects a building which encapsulates a significant theoretical position in architectural history. In 2010 the Soviet Avant Garde of constructivism was picked as the epoch of exploration. A model of the chosen example will be made to an agreed scale, which will be accompanied by a written paper of not more than 2000 words. The written component is to be a critical analysis of the treatise or manifesto from which the built form is derived. The critical analysis also serves as a reference point for the realization of three dimensional forms of models. via ryanpanos

paavo: “This house works like a chessboard. The pieces move according to the rules of each object… They must always return to the starting point to restart the game… Hence the floor, which set the existing items back in front of the windows… or the paint on the walls, which reveals the discovered fragments, are the rules of the game… Amongst them, moving in an orderly fashion, are tables, books, chairs…” Enric Miralles From | Operative Drawing I: Miralles | Diffusive Architectures via archidose (via ethel-baraona)

paavo: The Instant City (1968) - Archigram The Instant City (1968) is a mobile “event,” travels between various dreary and monotonous towns, deploying and saturating them with an over-stimulation of media, technology, popculture, and cultural space. Via radarqnet

paavo: Mechanical Living | Nelson Larroque Mechanical Living is a project designed by Nelson Larroque within Peter Cook’s studio at the Ecole Speciale d’Architecture in Paris. This project is a very literal vision of dwellings created in former industrial sites which facilities manage to supply energy.

ecoarch: Bartlett School / Forgetting the air: This year unit one will challenge our modern concepts of form and matter; concepts, which we believe, have lead to a rupture between nature and the built environment. In search of a new experimental architecture, we will investigate forgotten and discredited ancient techniques used in alchemy, where form, matter and spirit, were inextricably linked.
