<span style="font-family: din_middle; font-size: 20px;">People generally go for walks in the woods to enjoy the peacefulness of nature. How wonderful it would be if the fine sounds of the forest could be heard loud and clear.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: din_middle; font-size: 18px;">This is an experience that can now be had at Pähni Nature Centre in Estonia, where art academy students have developed and set up huge wooden megaphones to make the never-ceasing but scarcely noticeable calls and movements of forest inhabitants completely audible. The student Birgit Õigus designed the funnel-shaped megaphones for a project in the "Outdoor" auditorium at the</span><span style="color: #505050; font-family: din_middle; font-size: 18px;"> </span><a href="http://www.artun.ee/en/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: din_middle; font-size: 18px;" target="_blank" title="Öffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster">academy</a><span style="color: #505050; font-family: din_middle; font-size: 18px;">. Hannes Praks, Head of the Interior Architecture Departments, explains, "Being three metres in diameter at their widest point, the megaphones create a bandstand for the sounds that the forest produces." Visitors can settle down comfortably inside the megaphones to enjoy the surreal backdrop of sounds. The installation was completed in mid-September and as time passes by will go the way of all things, rotting away slowly but surely until completely absorbed into the forest floor.</span><br /><div class="article-right-col" style="box-sizing: border-box;">

concrete pavilion designed by Gianni Botsford Architects stands in a

massive or monolithic thanks to a special manufacturing method for
translucent concrete. This means that it is possible to experience the
natural environment while enjoying a smoke. </i><br /><div class="content-element">

A
pavilion is meant to protect its users from the weather. What makes the
sleek, restrained design by Gianni Botsford Architects unique may not
be perceptible at first glance. This quiet space stands out from other
pavilions because the material used has a particular effect. The shell
may seem closed in, but users do not feel cut off from their
surroundings. On the contrary, from the inside of the shelter, they can
perceive both garden and sunlight thanks to the material, known as
translucent concrete or light-transmitting concrete.<br />

With
this project, the architects wanted to offset the diversity of the
garden with a particular accent. Although the pavilion may not provide a
visual complement to the surrounding greenery, its relationship with
nature can nevertheless be understood as symbiotic. The garden gives
life to the interior of the pavilion, making the concrete space appear
to live as though it were a natural organism in itself.<br />

The
translucent concrete pavilion is based on a sophisticated concept and
complex precision work. What looks simple and sleek is the result of
innovative, state-of-the-art technology. Translucent concrete is made of
fine-grained concrete and glass-fibre mats poured alternately in
layers. The more dense the fibres, the more translucent the final
product. There can be no question that this material was perfect for the
architects, who developed a system in cooperation with GBA, Tall
Engineers, Litracon and Hammerlein. The shelter space is made of five
plates of translucent concrete, creating the floor, three walls and
roof. These plates are 80 mm thick and gain stability from dowel
connections and exactly placed stainless-steel reinforcements, meaning
that no secondary structure was required.<br />

This
material, known as Litracon or Light-Transmitting Concrete, was
patented in 2001 by Áron Losonczi. Here it provides the pavilion with a
delicate feel. The simplicity of structure and form stand in direct
opposition to the complexity of the material. The concrete box rests
serenely in the owner’s garden and allows the lake and surrounding
mountains to take centre stage. </div>

Changes
to the light alter the effects on the surface of the concrete, creating
a spectrum ranging from heavy to light, from dense to permeable, from
monochrome to colourful. It is these ever-changing effects created by
the material, light and shadows that make the concrete pavilion appear
to breathe alongside the plants and animals in the garden.<br />

The
Whitney Museum has been founded in 1931 in Greenwich Village, moved to
54th street in 1954, to Madison Avenue in 1966, and now found its new
home in the Meatpacking District. In more recent times its art
collections have seen a substantial growth in size, creating the need
for an extension. The large new building that has now been created
offers enough space for over 19,000 pieces of modern and contemporary
American art. <br />

Designed
by Renzo Piano, the new museum building is asymmetric in form and is
completely clad in vertical grey steel panels. Projections and returns
articulate the elevation overlooking the Hudson River, while the rear of
the building is characterised by a series of staggered terraces used as
outdoor exhibition areas where sculptures are put on show.<br />

The
entrance area on the south side is located below a dramatic
cantilevered canopy and leads into a lobby that serves not only as a
buffer zone between the bustling street and the museum but also as a
freely accessible exhibition space. The galleries are spread out between
the fifth and eight storeys on an area of 4,650 square metres, whereby a
large column-free gallery is used to accommodate large
three-dimensional works of art. The room programme also includes
offices, reading rooms and a café along with a multi-use theatre space
for various types of performances. </div>

The
extension building by Renzo Piano fits in between the Hudson River und
High Line Park like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. The impressions that
visitors gain of this part of the museum need not be restricted to its
interior but can also extend to the outside, as the staggered terraces
at the rear of the building provide nearly every floor with an outdoor
gallery, thus forming attractive open areas that also encourage visitors
to stop a while and pass the time in the fresh air. Projecting exterior
stairs present differing views of the surroundings and engage the
extension building with its urban setting.<br />

Blooming glory instead of exhaust-belching traffic: an unused stretch
of highway in Seoul is now to be transformed into an attractive
promenade.<br />
<span id="more-14787"></span><br />
This project, brainchild of the Dutch architecture studio <a href="http://www.mvrdv.nl/" target="_blank">MVRDV</a>,
represents a particular form of upcycling. Instead of tearing down the
highway on stilts in order to build something new, the creative
architects want to rededicate the unused road as a park for city
residents.<br />
A bit of nature 17 metres off the ground, with 254 types of trees,
bushes and flowers, all organized according to the Korean alphabet, will
allow passers-by to discover new plants and interact with the green
world. Cafés, flower shops, markets, bookshops and greenhouses will give
the promenade its finishing touches.<br />
The project is called Seoul Skygarden and has won MVRDV the
international transformation contest. The highway was built in the 1970s
and declared unsafe for motor traffic in 2006.<br />
"Seoul Skygarden will improve daily life for many citizens of Seoul," says Winy Maas of MVRDV. "It will offer a lovely shortcut through a
green oasis, right there among all the traffic and concrete of the
city."<br />

a new building designed by Fluor Architectes, the Provençal city of
Arles is honouring the painter who indelibly engraved it – and himself –
on the memory of mankind. Natural light, the medium that stood at the
heart of van Gogh's work, plays a leading role in the new gallery. </i><br />

As
is known, the inhabitants of Arles never really warmed to the eccentric
Dutchman Vincent van Gogh while he was alive. Nevertheless, the 15
months he spent in the South of France were his most prolific, with some
300 paintings and drawings coming about during his stay in the
Provençal city. <br /><br />Almost 125 years after his death, van Gogh's
paintings are finally finding a suitable home in Arles. The
11-million-euro project is the work of Fondation van Gogh, founded in
1983 at the instigation of Swiss pharmaceutical manufacturer Luc
Hoffmann. Beforehand, the Fondation was located next to the city's Roman
amphitheatre, in an old building equipped with neither the security nor
the climate control for showing van Gogh's masterpieces.<br />

The
Fondation's new home is a rehabilitated and enlarged 500-year-old
mansion situated in the old quarter, not far from the banks of the
Rhône. The Hôtel Léautaud de Donines was built towards the end of the
15th century by the merchant Jacques Grilho and underwent alterations
later on, before finally being transformed by Fluor Architectes into a
museum building that fulfils contemporary standards.<br />

Visitors
enter the museum grounds from the north and continue to the forecourt,
where the artist Bertrand Lavier has placed van Gogh's characteristic
"Vincent" signature on sliding gates over two metres high. The entrance
facade is two storeys in height and completely glazed. The ground floor
offers merely the cashier's desk, the toilets and secondary rooms, with
the large exhibit hall being located on the first floor along with the
museum shop with its glass front oriented to the forecourt. The reason
for this particular spatial arrangement is simple: the natural slope of
the site places the ground floor of the old merchant's house a storey
higher than its entrance court to the north.<br />

The
architects did not stint on natural light in the remaining rooms
either. The large hall has been provided an irregularly formed sawtooth
roof, surrounded by a wood decked roof terrace that visitors can walk
on. The windows in the old part of the building are unusually large for a
museum, but are shaded at the reveals by textile screens. The inner
court, now provided a glass roof, acts as a further source of daylight
for the old merchant's house, in which steel walkways and a new elevator
have been installed to connect the exhibition levels.<br />

In
coordination with the monument authority, the architects preserved
interior fixtures and furnishings wherever possible, bringing about a
fascinating dialogue – one sought for in vain in most contemporary
museum buildings – between the residential architecture of past
centuries and the masterpieces placed on show. Naturally a new and
highly-efficient ventilation system does its work behind the scenes, and
LED luminaires provide artificial lighting. Wherever acceptable from a
conservation-related point of view, the thermal insulation and the
sealing of the building shell have been adapted to modern standards. To
prevent unnecessary heat introduction into the exhibit rooms, the glass
roofs and skylights are made of low-emissivity glass.<br />

<i>Incorporating sustainable materials and purposeful use of colour, the new children's day care centre next to a green area in Beiersdorf's company grounds in Hamburg is capacious enough for seven groups of children. In reference to the company's history the design concept recalls an apothecary's cabinet, but in reality looks more like a giant toy construction kit. </i><br /><br /><b>Architect:</b> kadawittfeldarchitektur, Aachen<br /><b>Location:</b> Stresemannallee 103, 22529 Hamburg-Eimsbüttel, Germany<br /></div>

A two-storey multi-purpose room is the central element of the children's day care centre. Featuring a broad flight of oversized steps, the open indoor space fulfills various functions as a gathering, communication and play space for the children and teachers alike. For psychological reasons the colour green figures largely in this area and is intended to have a harmonizing effect on the little ones. Frames let into the outer walls differ in size, shape and colour to lend individuality to the group rooms on both floors.</div>

Utility rooms round off the premises on the ground floor, while the upper storey features a kitchen with adjacent dining room, a workroom, a preschool room and a meeting and break room.<br /><br />The differently coloured aluminium sheet panel frames let into the eastern and western sides of the building are to support orientation and enable the children to identify with »their« part of the premises and their group. Visible both indoors and outdoors, the frames serve on the outside as niches in which the children can sit, hide, play or put to other uses. Doors and cloakroom elements colour-coded in line with the respective group rooms underscore the conceptual objectives of pedagogical concepts such as orientation and identification.</div>

Colourful elements like extra-large building blocks articulate the interior space and can be used as play apparatus by the children. The platforms and climbing cubes involved and elements integrated into them such as play kitchens are to stimulate the children's imagination and allow them to experience the day care centre from new angles. The light falling through the large window openings and the colour accents create a bright and welcoming setting in which to develop and grow. All rooms are also barrier-free for handicap accessibility. The children's day care centre is named for company head Oscar Troplowitz, who as far back as 1898 set up a room that female workers could use to nurse their babies and enabled them to return to work.</div>

In November 2014 the »Troplo-Kids« children's day care centre was awarded a DGNB Gold certificate by the German Sustainable Building Council, the second nursery school in Germany to gain this distinction. All building and interior materials were checked and documented and aspects such as sociocultural and functional quality were examined and appraised throughout the entire planning process.It is not least for this reason that a children's day care centre has come about that not only enables its small users to thrive and develop in a friendly atmosphere but also acts as a shining example in terms of sustainability.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
Despite all technical requirements and the endeavour to outdo Germany's EnEV2009 energy saving ordinance, the architects have produced a well-conceived nursery school with a clear floor plan, special furnishings and differing colours for fostering playful creativity in each of the rooms. The overall concept is also expressed in the facades in which the frames are integrated. Resembling a super-sized construction set and resembling a form of furniture and signpost in one, they make the architecture interesting for the children and lend it to play.<br /><br /><b><br />Project data</b><br /><br /><b>Client:</b> Beiersdorf AG<br /><b>Project management:</b> Arno Schleicher, Ben Beckers<br /><b>Gross floor area:</b> 1,750 m²<br /><b>Net floor space:</b> 1,440 m²<br /><b>Usable space:</b> 1,040 m²<br /><b>Completion:</b> January 2014<br /><b>Period of certification:</b> June-August 2014<br /><b>Certification DGNB Gold:</b> November 2014</div>

With their ÁPH80 project, Ábaton Arquitectura have developed a series that enables flexible housing. This house, which can be transported by truck and positioned on almost any spot, meaning that a predetermined building lot is no longer required. Comprehensive research aided in defining the size of the individual rooms: in the end, an area of 9.0 x 3.0 metres was calculated. These measurements refer to the larger Portable House; smaller houses are planned to complement the series and are currently available only in a few designs.<br /><br />The portable house, which comes equipped with a living room and integrated kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom, has room for two people.</div>

The simple cubature of the house – a basic rectangle with a gable roof – recalls the well-known shape of a Monopoly house. Any association with shipping containers disappears at second glance. Only the two hooks on the apex of the roof, which serve to load the house onto a truck, preserve this impression.</div>

The exterior walls are clad in rear-ventilated wood-concrete panels. These are completely closed on the back façade, a marked contrast to the front of the house, which opens up. Large expanses of glass which can be opened allow natural lighting into the living space and provide a view of the surrounding landscape. However, hinged elements mean that the outer façade layer can be closed as well. The spaces to the left and right of the living room, which serve as bed and bathroom, are also lit by means of small windows which can be closed off with integrated shutters.</div>

Production time for this prefabricated house is 6 to 8 weeks. On-site assembly can be carried out within a day. The prices of the Portable House vary according to the specific design. At 42,800 euros, the ÁPH80 apartment is currently the costliest version, although costs rise as features are added.<br /><br />The project, developed and manufactured entirely in Spain, fulfills all sustainability criteria set by the studio as a top priority for all its projects. The wood comes from regulated forests; like most of the materials used here, it can be recycled.</div>

The Epée de Bois day care in southwest Paris is located on the lower levels of an apartment house and has recently been renovated in order to improve its poor former condition. At the same time, the centre expanded with an addition that significantly enlarges the space for the 24 children and creates a new entryway in the narrow inner courtyard. </div>

The addition has not only created new interior space, but also a generous rooftop terrace which serves as an outside play area. While the ground floor is devoted to children up to the age of 18 months, the areas for children from 18 months to 3 years old is found on the upper level. Moreover, the ground floor features spaces for the kitchen and utility room.</div>

The trademark of this design is the translucent white fabric that has been stretched over a steel supporting structure and surrounds the glass façade in the upper area. This fan-like construction elegantly covers the attic and shields the rooftop terrace from observation. Like a curtain wafting in the wind, the textile cover extends to both entrances and creates a sheltering canopy. With this clever design, the architects have combined aesthetics with function in a most attractive way.</div>

<a href="http://www.detail-online.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/catcube-1.jpg"><img alt="CatCube by Delphine Courier" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14229" height="340" src="http://www.detail-online.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/catcube-1.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Anyone
who has been granted the privilege of acting as a human can opener and
attention dispenser to a cat will naturally do anything to please their
furry masters, hopefully without encroaching too much on their own
aesthetic living style.<br />
<br />
<span id="more-14218"></span><br />
This idea is the brainchild of Belgian graphic designer <a href="http://delphinecourier.be/" target="_blank" title="Delphine Courier">Delphine Courier</a>.
After a shopping trip to a pet shop, she- like so many others – was
appalled at the selection of items that pass for cat furniture,
abominations that even the most devoted cat lover would have
reservations about placing in their own home.<br />
<br />
The solution: for her cat Pistache, Courier designed a retreat
incorporating many positive characteristics. The icosahedron, made of
recycled cardboard, is robust and provides an ideal hiding place for any
cat. What’s more, it is available in several attractive designs, and it
is affordable – a good thing, especially when we remember how much cats
love cardboard as a claw-sharpening material. For those without cats of
their own, the <a href="http://www.catcube.be/" target="_blank" title="CatCube">CatCube</a> is the perfect present for any friend who shares living space with a feline companion.<br />

<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgC0R3VclgzlFAqB9WYgCXv9vJRlb3sXy71C2PYo2atmsLIORT4QooUlc98ar08m1B8KavB5j7_-lAJPmi9ApR_vPcxllfUOThzyVLioCTLT2BnezFDZ6_QIeyIqbw6q1Bh8wrw0Anq6yn5n3DJTgLxz7svXE9OK5ewDjd0PZzFm-cG8cOIaA=" /><br />
<br />
<br />
At Happify, we're translating the latest cutting-edge research into fun and interactive activities and games that help you build your happiness skills and form life-changing habits. Optimism, self-confidence, gratitude, hope, compassion, purpose, empathy—these are all qualities that anyone can own. You just have to learn how. And doing so will change your life.<br />
<br />
Happify's S.T.A.G.E. framework helps you build five key happiness skills: Savor, Thank, Aspire, Give, and Empathize. <br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Savor</b><br />
<br />
Savoring is a quick and easy way to boost optimism and reduce stress and negative emotions. It's the practice of being mindful and noticing the good stuff around you, taking the extra time to prolong and intensify your enjoyment of the moment, making a pleasurable experience last for as long as possible. So whether it's preparing a meal, pausing to admire the sunset, or telling a friend your good news—the idea is to linger, take it in, and enjoy the experience. Eventually it'll become a habit—one you'll never want to break. Research by Dr. Fred Bryant, a professor at Loyola University Chicago who coined the term “savoring,” shows that those who regularly and frequently savor are happier, more optimistic and more satisfied with life. Bryant describes savoring as three-fold, meaning we can savor the past (by reminiscing), savor the future (through positive anticipation) or savor the present (by practicing mindfulness). There are many savoring techniques—and you may find that you gravitate towards some, but not others. Researchers Bryant and Veroff have proposed a number of ways to do this, including savoring with other people, concentrating on the meaning of an activity, incorporating humor, and writing about their experience.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thank</b><br />
<br />
The simple act of identifying and then <a href="http://my.happify.com/hd/the-science-behind-gratitude/">appreciating the things people do for us</a> is a modern-day wonder drug. It fills us with optimism and self-confidence, knowing that others are there for us. It dampens our desires for “more” of everything—and it deepens our relationships with loved ones. And when we express our gratitude to someone, we get kindness and gratitude in return. In studies led by Dr. Martin Seligman, people have written gratitude letters to someone they've never properly thanked, and seen immediate increases in happiness and decreases in depressive symptoms. Bob Emmons, Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Davis, is a leading researcher in the field of gratitude and author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0547085737/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0547085737&linkCode=as2&tag=happify05-20&linkId=4L5BEFQ6NCOEAFC2">Thanks: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier</a>. He believes everyone should try practicing gratitude because the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alvaro-fernandez/how-saying-thanks-will-ma_b_76344.html?">benefits are so powerful</a>: “First, the practice of gratitude can increase happiness levels by around 25%. Second, this is not hard to achieve. A few hours writing a gratitude journal over 3 weeks can create an effect that lasts 6 months if not more. Third, cultivating gratitude brings other health effects, such as longer and better quality sleep time.”</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Aspire</b><br />
<br />
Feeling hopeful, having a sense of purpose, being optimistic. Study after study shows that people who have created meaning in their lives are happier and more satisfied with their lives (Steger, Oishi, & Kashdan 2008). You too can feel more upbeat about your future and your potential. And who doesn't want that? Genuine optimism is a friend magnet. It also makes your goals seem attainable and your challenges easier to overcome. Bottom line: you'll not only feel more successful, you'll be more successful. A person's level of hope is shown to correlate with how well they perform tasks. Using one's strengths in daily life, studies have found, curbs stress and increases self-esteem and vitality. Another study found that participants who were asked to imagine their future in an optimistic light increased their levels of happiness over the next six months. Believing that your goals are within reach promotes a sense of meaning and purpose in life—a key ingredient of happiness.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Give</b><br />
<br />
Everything about giving is a no-brainer. Obviously, when you give someone something, you make them happier. But what you might not know is that the giver—not the receiver—<a href="http://my.happify.com/hd/science-of-giving-infographic/">reaps even more benefits.</a> Numerous studies show that being kind not only makes us feel less stressed, isolated and angry, but it makes us feel considerably happier, more connected with the world, and more open to new experiences. In one famous study, Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky asked students to commit five random acts of kindness each week for six weeks. Whereas the control group experienced a reduction in well-being, those who engaged in acts of kindness showed a 42% increase in happiness. We're happier when we spend money on other people than when we spend money on ourselves. And a 2006 study found that simply reflecting on nice things we've done for other people can lift our mood. Dr. Stephen Post, a bioethicist at Case Western Reserve University and founder of the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, is a pioneer in the study of altruism and compassion. His research shows that when we give of ourselves, everything from life satisfaction to self-realization and physical health is significantly affected. Mortality is delayed. Depression is reduced. Well-being and good fortune are increased.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Empathize</b><br />
<br />
Empathy is a powerful word packed with lots of different interpretations. It's the ability to care about others. It's the ability to imagine and understand the thoughts, behaviors or ideas of others, including those different from ourselves. If you care about the relationships in your life—and who doesn't?—learning the skill of empathy has enormous payoffs. When we empathize with people, we become less judgmental, less frustrated, angry or disappointed—and we develop patience. We also solidify the bonds with those closest to us. And when we really listen to the points of view of others, they're very likely to listen to ours. Strong relationships are essential to happiness, according to Drs. Ed Diener and Martin Seligman, and practicing empathy will go far in nurturing the relationships in your life. Richard Davidson, professor of psychology at University of Wisconsin—Madison, was the first to show that compassion is a skill that we can all learn. He says the brain is constantly changing in response to environmental factors, and this also extends to compassion for the self. Research by Dr. Kristin Neff, a pioneer in the field, suggests that people who have more self-compassion lead healthier, more productive lives than those who are self-critical.<br />

The new community church in Knarvik – designed by Reiulf Ramstad
Arkitekter – stands in solitary splendour above the Norwegian town.<br />
<span id="more-14550"></span><br />
Fulfilling the purpose of a religious and cultural gathering place in
one, the church has premises not only for worship but also for music,
art exhibitions and cultural events. Its striking outer form is marked
by sharply-cornered planes. In line with this design concept, Reiulf
Ramstad Arkitekter have also provided the church a pointed and angular
spire. The simple timber facade underscores the building’s striking
shape, with wood also acting as the key material on the indoor surfaces.<br />

No one seeing this modular shed system could possibly think of
backbreaking outdoor work. The shed, which offers storage space for
gardening tools, can also function as a greenhouse or even as a romantic
retreat.<br />
<span id="more-14539"></span><br />
In the photo session for this greenhouse/shed combination, the Finnish studio <a href="http://www.avan.to/" target="_blank" title="Avanto Architects">Avanto Architects</a> and manufacturer <a href="http://www.kekkila.com/" target="_blank" title="Kakkliä">Kakkliä</a> concentrated primarily on the shed’s romantic potential.<br />
Of course, this versatile little house must be set up in a special
place if it is to be used as an outdoor bedroom. Otherwise, the
glassed-in area provides an ideal space for plants to thrive. Made of
Finnish wood and tempered safety glass, the shed is available in various
prefabricated designs, including one with a roofed-in verandah between
the shed and glassed-in areas where gardeners can take a well-deserved
break. The modular components allow the house to be assembled in any way
and thus adapted to its location.<br />

The
simple and adaptable prefabricated rectangle is delivered by truck and
manoeuvred into the ideal position by crane, thus ensuring fast,
uncomplicated and environmentally compatible erection. The steel frame
structure enables varied and individual configurations, providing plenty
of creative scope for personal ideas. Several modules can be added
together to enable various uses, ranging from a cosy weekend refuge to a
unique venue for events or hotel rooms of great originality.<br />

The
compact prototype forms a gracious and elegant structure in the
landscape. The flexible, 27-square metre base is slightly elevated on
two steel girders to protect the module from rising damp and to
accommodate any unevenness of the ground. Back-ventilated elements in
plywood clad the steel framework both on the outside and inside. Totally
closed-off areas in the darkly-coloured façade are interposed with
occasional large openings and perforated folding elements, thus ensuring
both necessary privacy and a seemingly seamless transition to the
natural surroundings.<br />

Inside
the module the untreated wood creates a cosy feel and accentuates the
contrast of indoors and outdoors. At night illumination is provided in
the form of integrated LED lights. Standard fixtures include kitchen
units, a toilet and a fitted closet and can be complemented with such
elements as a solar panel, air conditioning, a rainwater treatment
system or a green roof as desired. <br /><br />MAPA Architects is a
binational collective that works on architectural projects in Brazil and
Uruguay, exploring the limits of non-conventional production formats in
the process. The Minimod prototype brings architecture and industry
together in an accomplished design informed by practicality and
minimalism. <br /><br /><b>Project data</b>

<a href="http://www.detail-online.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/time-capsule-kitchen-1.jpg"><img alt="time-capsule-kitchen-1" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14504" height="332" src="http://www.detail-online.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/time-capsule-kitchen-1.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
What
you see here is not a film set from a movie featuring Doris Day; it is
an original kitchen from the late 1950s which lay untouched in Sleeping
Beauty slumber for nearly 60 years.<br />
<span id="more-14488"></span><br />
In 2010, American furniture designer Nathan Chandler bought a house
that had been sealed and uninhabited since 1956. Generally, you expect
to find vermin, dust and refuse in old houses. The opposite was true in
this case: the new owner found everything, and especially the kitchen,
new and in perfect condition. The previous owners had built and
furnished the house, but never lived in it.<br />
This trip back to former days of furniture design and the technology
of electric appliances such as the dishwasher, stove and fridge evokes a
visit to a museum. The kitchen provides accurate testimony to the
tastes of its time: blond wood combined with as much baby pink as
possible is no longer <em>de rigeur</em>. This is what Chandler thought,
who has since sold the kitchen’s entire inventory. It would be
interesting to see how his kitchen looks now.<br />

The
new structure, owing to cost factors, is not made of reinforced
concrete as described in the competition submission. Rather, it was
developed in wood. The campanile at the edge of the street acts as an
unmistakable guidepost. Like the church and its prayer chapel, it is
clad in a diagonal casing of Siberian larch. A grey glaze unifies the
overall image of the façades.<br />

Visitors
enter the church via the low vestibule under the gallery. Once they
have entered, they can experience the full eleven-metre height of the
nave. The prefabricated wooden panelling and supports are unclad; their
brushed, white-waxed surfaces allow the grain of the wood to show
through. The floor has been finished with a light-coloured coating. The
vaulting, whose ribs measure 7.5 X 30 cm, form a rigid supporting
lattice framework of roof and wall panels. The escalier-shaped joists
above the vestibule serve as benches up in the gallery.<br />

The
architects have interrupted their minimalist design with a
floor-to-ceiling screen of 3,800 wooden slats in 27 different colours,
which ascends behind the altar and hangs like a curtain in front of the
organ. Above the altar, the "window to heaven" opens up. This skylight
reinforces the effect of the colours, which become progressively lighter
towards the ceiling. All in all, these features evoke a feeling of
transcendence.<br />

The
spaces here can be used according to the congregations’ needs. An
aperture incorporated into the screen facilitates tidying away the
liturgical furnishings, and the altar space can be transformed into a
stage. To the sides of the altar, other areas can be created using
folding walls. Free-standing seating can be arranged as desired. <br />

Natural
light penetrates the nave in two places: while a skylight illuminates
the altar area and the coloured relief, a matte window lets light into
the area above the gallery and plays with the shadows of the trees
outside. A gridwork of hanging lamps made expressly for this church
provide a warm atmosphere in the evenings, giving the church an
intimate, almost homey ambience.<br />

temperatures, extreme humidity, monsoon-like rainfall – life in
Singapore is determined by a moist tropical climate in which seasons
have no place, meaning that concepts for workplaces in closed rooms have
particular demands to fulfil. The Simple Factory Building newly built
at the heart of an industrial estate in the city offers a solution with
very little relationship to the status quo of customary office
buildings.</i><br />

An
airy and porous structure that wraps the building in a vertical
alignment and fulfils various tasks at the same time holds centre stage
in the design of the building. The advantages of the openwork façade are
to be seen not only in the eye-catching visual effect of its complex,
CNC-generated parabolic pattern, but more particularly in
climate-related aspects such as solar shading and ventilation. To enable
air to circulate as freely as possible, the first floor is raised
except for a core area in which auxiliary rooms are located, plus a
chimney-like atrium leads up through the centre of the building. Double
room heights make sure that warm air is unable to accumulate in working
areas. Attention has also been paid to the reusability of materials.
After all, short-term leaseholds and urban redevelopment are the order
of the day in Singapore. </div>

in front of a spectacular mountain panorama on the shore of
Switzerland’s Sarnersee, there is a small house covered with a
tent-shaped roof. In terms of colour and shape, this building by Atelier
Scheidegger Keller fits inconspicuously into the surrounding
structures; both exterior and interior become part of the landscape.</i><br /><div class="content-element">

The
shore along the Sarnersee is characterized by terracing and embankments
which support the steep shore. These topographical conditions have been
repeated in the interior of the house. For <a href="http://www.scheideggerkeller.ch/" target="_blank">Atelier Scheidegger Keller</a>,
they were the starting point for their design concept: a single large
space is zoned through three slightly offset floor areas which
simultaneously maintain the open feeling of the space and create a
division into different functional areas. The upper terrace serves as
kitchen and dining room; the middle one as a living room, and the lowest
as a bedroom. Hidden beneath the kitchen, there is a bathroom.<br />

The
terraced space is completely surrounded by glazing, making the
mountains, lake and landscape part of the interior. A large, tent-like
roof seems to float above the house, creating an “open and composed,
heavy and light, high and broad” effect. The broad roof is covered in
folded rhombic sheets leading to the slender eaves. Thanks to these
jutting eaves, the view from the house has a wide horizon, as does the
surface of the water.<br />

The
roof was created from prefabricated concrete elements and mullions cast
in in-situ concrete. Two Y-shaped supports whose shape results from the
constructive and geometrical structure of the roof function as the only
connection to the floor. Furthermore, these sculptural supports, which
continue the geometrical pattern created by the roof, form the only
spatial orientation in the entire one-room building. The visible joists
and negative spaces of the roof’s underside are reminiscent of the
roof’s design and create a larger-than-life ornamental covering for the
whole interior.<br />

The
sleek, simple exterior of the house surprises visitors with its unusual
spatial treatment, which was determined as much by topography as by
structural considerations. Terracing and a visible support structure
reveal a complex single-room solution complemented by the two
dominating, sculptural Y-supports. Focus on the most significant
building components means that architecture and landscape are an
ever-present feature, even in the interior of the house.<br />

When the Polish town of Żory was founded in the 12th century, large
areas of forest had to be burnt down to make space for the new
settlement. To this day the town is the site of a »Festival of Fire« in
the summer. »Żory« means »fire«, and the city emblem is a small flame.<br />
<span id="more-14507"></span><br />
This relationship to fire was the basic idea behind the design for an
exhibition pavilion for Żory, leading to a building form that has the
look of dancing flames. To reinforce the impression of fire still
further, OVO Grabczewscy Architekci gave the structure a striking copper
façade, resulting in a shiny outer skin that is noticeable at night
even from afar. To keep the metal shiny it has been given HDP treatment
to prevent verdigris from developing.<br />
The museum pavilion has three entrances, a multifunctional hall with
reception and information desks on the ground floor and an exhibition
hall featuring an underground multimedia show on the phenomenon of fire.
During the Festival of Fire an outdoor exhibition space is additionally
put to use.<br />

history of the Château Cheval Blanc vineyard in Saint-Emilion near
Bordeaux goes back to the 1830s. Distinguished as a premier grand cru
classé A, the Bordeaux wines produced here enjoy worldwide fame. Since
1998, business partners Bernard Arnault and Baron Albert Frère have been
running this venerable operation. In the Bordeaux region, imposing new
buildings for wine cellars have been trendy for the past few years. Now
Château Cheval Blanc has joined this movement with their new structure
designed by Christian Portzamparc. </i><br /><div class="content-element">

The
dynamically undulating building, whose curves are meant to recall the
shape of a wine glass, looks like a white sail that has draped itself
over the vineyards. While the structure appears to take flight from the

ground. <br />

For
many years, the harbour basin of Marseille’s Vieux-Port was separated
from the old town by a multilane street. With the redesign of the
shoreline promenade, the historical heart of the city was made more
accessible. In order to keep the quay walls free, technical
installations and small service buildings are now located on platforms
in the water. Traffic flow was also reorganized, allowing the street to
be narrowed to two lanes. The resulting generous, unobtrusive and subtly
distinctive space, measuring around 100,000 m², quickly developed into a
popular piazza.<br />

goings-on and intensifies the ever-changing light.<br />

This pre-fabricated building, set up for the first time at a romantic
lake near Copenhagen as a weekend escape or secret getaway, is all of a
piece – literally.<br />
<span id="more-14471"></span><br />
The industrially pre-assembled building was developed by the Danish design company <a href="http://www.vipp.com/en/" target="_blank" title="Vipp Design">Vipp</a>.
Chief designer Morten Bo Jensen describes the Vipp Shelter as a tool
made to accomplish something – in this case an escape to nature. “We
didn’t want to make a house or a mobile home. Vipp is rooted in the
manufacture of industrial objects, so the term “shelter” is a typology
that allows us to define this hybrid as a spacious, functional and
livable object”.<br />
Whatever the case, the minimalist 55-square-metre steel structure

The
construction site guaranteed sufficient direct sunlight all year round
and convinced the architects with its direct proximity to the jagged
rock faces, since this promised not only scenic views of the valley to
the south but also stunning glimpses of the rough quarry walls to the
rear. <br />

The
resulting small wooden holiday home rests on a platform ten metres
above a main road that winds its way through the valley. "An abstract
footprint of a family's lifestyle" is how Béres Architects describe its
floor plan. A black frame ties two self-contained halves together into a
single unit, with the western half housing guest premises and the
eastern half the couple's living space and bedroom. Sandwiched between
the two is a covered terrace that makes the proximity of the quarry seem
particularly present.</div>

Boards
of roughly-sawn, black stained larch cover the frame and form most of
the outer walls of the house, while the timber cladding on the terrace
side to the south is natural in colour. In contrast to the outer
appearance, the interior of the house is mainly in white. This neutral
colour treatment was chosen to give pride of place to the countless hues
of the surrounding environment. Based on a combination of simple means
and high-tech solutions, the fixtures and furnishings enabled moderate
building costs and ensure low energy consumption.<br />

The
first project by Béres Architects to be carried out, the holiday home
carries conviction in its extremely sensitive and accomplished response
to the landscape, with views not being restricted to the valley to the
south but including glimpses of the rear quarry walls for stunning and
unusual effects. The married couple for whom the holiday home was
designed did much of the construction work themselves over a three-year
period. <br />

<i>The
exterior of the »Compact Karst House« gives a nod to the austere,
windowless houses of the region, which were originally meant to provide
shelter from the strong wind. The interior holds a surprise: the
single-family dwelling is a house within a house, featuring a clever
distribution of space and finely balanced materiality.</i><i><br /></i><br />

The
grounds, once widely strewn with oak trees, were long ago cleared in
order to provide piles for buildings along the waters of Venice. The
resulting unobstructed winds necessitated a massive house design as a
response to the new conditions. This led to the creation of the nearly
windowless Karst House, which often had only one room. <a href="http://dekleva-gregoric.com/" target="_blank">dekleva gregorič arhitekti</a> have rediscovered and redefined this typology. <br />
<br />
Using
two inset wooden bodies, the architects have not only made the
otherwise empty space of the original typology usable, but have also
zoned it as contemporary functional units. Semipublic communal spaces
such as the kitchen, bathroom and living room on the ground floor and
the private bedrooms on the upper floor are connected via a gallery and
create a clear distribution of space.<br />

While
the clear lines of sight from the ground floor are oriented towards the
landscape, those on the upper floor face the sky. Open spaces are
linked with consciously placed elements, enabling the clear structuring
of functional units without relying on massive walls. The result is
spatial situations such as the working area under the stairs, which also
serves as the TV wall of the living room. The least possible amount of
space is exploited without feeling crowded or asking too much of the
residents.<br />

The
wall and roof surfaces blend into each other in a way that recalls a
monolith. The combination of the materials stone and concrete instead of
pure stone as in the old days, and the deliberate contrast with wood in
the interior spaces, translate the historical functionality of this
building type into a modern house with a liveable character.<br />

With
great respect for tradition and a fine feeling for the chosen
materials, the architects have created a timeless structure that carries
old building customs into contemporary times. This house has a modern
look, but is not unfamiliar. With the extensive use of glass as compared
to the earlier houses, and by playing with lines of sight into the
surrounding landscape, this design responds both to its residents’ needs
and to contemporary requirements. The principle of the wooden house
within the stone house has enabled a variable spatial impression with
harmonic details. Elements such as the stairway, which also functions as
a bookcase and room divider, connect not only the two levels, but seem
to hold the entire structure together as a main component of the house.<br />
