I’ve been following the updates by Nuremburg, Germany based designer and photographer Johannes Heuckeroth for some time now. His latest batch of architectural photography is really stunning, consistently magical light, thoughtful cropping… I especially like his long exposure cityscape captures. If you enjoy works like these, you’ll want to stop by his Flickr stream for a few clicks. Visit -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/pfn/ Visit [...] Wurzburg, Germany based photographer Holger Schilling, created this photo series called ‘While you Slept’ (20th-century architecture of German single-family homes). I’m amazed at how his lighting technique, combined with his crisp capturing abilities and the minimalist subject matter can produce such a deeply rich and surreal effect. Especially when seen together as a series. So inspiring [...] QuaDror from Dror on Vimeo. World renowned designer Dror Benshetrit spent four years developing the innovative structural joint above called QuaDror. The design is not only strong, supporting up to 86 QuaDrors on top of itself, it’s also incredibly compact and able to be flat shipped from place of development to place of assembly, saving valuable [...] I rarely post about architecture here on circuitbreaks, but this modernist weekend retreat called ‘the Delta Shelter’ really caught my eye last week …thanks to my wife for passing the link along. The structure was designed by Tom Kundig of Seattle based Olson Kundig Architects and is located in the beautiful region of northeastern Washington. Here are [...] ‘YEKPARE’ (monolithic) from nerdworking on Vimeo. Notes from Vimeo: “Yekpare” is a storyteller which narrates the 8500 year story of Istanbul. The story embraces symbols from Pagans to Roman Empire, from Byzantine Empire to Latin Empire, and finally from Ottoman Empire to Istanbul at the present day. Haydarpaşa Train Station, with its brilliant architectural forms, is the building [...] crystal mesh from autokolor on Vimeo. The Iluma shopping mall in Singapore has recently been wrapped in 3000 high tech polycarbonate modules that are illuminated by fluorescent tubes, making for a truly amazing effect. The polycarbonate modules are geometrically shaped like crystals, giving the outside skin of the building an interesting scaly appearance on top of the [...] This interesting + elevated restaurant design called Nomiya is perched upon the top of the Palate of Tokyo in Paris and was designed by Laurent and Pascal Grasso. It’s glass walls are beautifully lit and programmed to subtly change color over the duration of the evening while it’s dinner guests within enjoy the classic Paris [...] Marvin Malecha (acting president of American Institute of Architects and dean of North Carolina University College of Design) speaks on how architects and designers are the cultural leaders of the world, intelligent materials and the overall effects of high-speed information transfer + social networking on modern day architecture. This is a very enlightening video to [...] Many of you will remember the pixel art trend that was going pretty strong in the late 90s where artists like ‘Pixel Boy’ got their names on the designer’s map. Brussels based agency Famous Brussels has re-emerged the pixel art form as a way to display the new Antwerp Central Station in a playful manner. [...] I really appreciate this green/sustainable architecture design concept for a French high school by ‘OFF Architecture’ (set to be completed for 2012). Designed to infuse into its surrounding rolling hill landscape, the school will cascade downward and open to a large recreation/sports green space. I can imagine that because of the grassy rooftops and the [...] The work of Belgian based photographer Frederik Vercruysse seems a bit sterile at first glance, then the depth, light, color, repetition of shape and pattern resonates and, at least for me they become very much alive and powerful. His works subject matter spans from busy highway scenery to various architectural spaces all captured with a [...] Architecture firm ‘Ashton Raggatt McDougal’ has created an unusual gem in the Southbank area of Melbourne. The design has been honored with the 2009 Victorian Architecture Medal, winning in three categories for public architecture, interior design as well as urban design. From the pics I’ve seen the Melbourne Recital Center’s sharp angles, bright colors and [...] Commercial Building with L — Isolated Building Study 4 I love a good inspiring Flickr set. This ‘Isolated Building Studies’ set created by David Schalliol is no exception. By following a consistent template and composition David Schalliol has beautifully documented a large number of buildings from the South Side of Chicago. Many of the structures [...] lights on from thesystemis on Vimeo. The Ars Electronica Museum in Linz, Austria is completely blanketed with 1085 LED powered windows. The lighting is composed and synced to music that plays on large outdoor loudspeakers. All together the effect creates a pulsating martian landing of sorts amongst Linz’s other river front architecture that I enjoy greatly. [...] Design: Vancouver Convention Centre – BC, Canada from Vancouver Convention Centre on Vimeo. This is one of a series of videos available on Vimeo in regard to the new Vancouver Convention Center. The architects and interior designers discuss their vision and the creative process behind the creation of the convention Center. Packed full of many sustainable [...] |
