"A project provides a puzzle of multifaceted fragments and diverse positions which develop into an idea. The idea can be understood in different ways: as a strategy,a design, an approach, a concept..Essentially, however, it is a concept of space requiring concrete forms, materials and techniques for its realization. Clarity of conception and the coherence of style are the major interests on which we concentrate our efforts in our projects." to find out more...Passage from , page 445

"HUDSON Archi tects' Cedar House, a new-build private residence in Norfolk , pilots a new prototype for cost-effective new-build modern housing. It deploys innovative off-site construction, which simplifies the building process without compromising the architecture of the house. The prefabricated timber panel floors designed in collaboration with Alan Conisbee Associates and off site construction specialists Framework CDM, are entirely cloaked in 15,000 untreated cedar shingles, a material which belies the prefabricated system beneath.

Moriyama House

"Ryue Nishizawa, occasionally of SANAA, has completed a house in the suburbs of Tokyo where every room of the house is a seperate building. Nishizawa - and his SANAA collaborator, Sejima - have explored the idea of fragmenting buildings into their constituent parts many times before, in their various housing studies and notably at the Kanazawa Museum of 21st Century Art.The Mori yama House feels like the natural conclusion to these studies and presents a serious experiment on an alternate pattern of habitation." to find out more...Passage from http://www.gravestmor.com/wp/archives/200 6/04/21/moriyama-house-ryue-nishizawa/Ima ge from http://www.flickr.com/photos/naoyafujii/1 08761597/in/set-72157600000354942/

Wendell Burnett Architects

"The simple form of the building echoes the strong lines indicative of walled architecture in the Southwest. Small windows of "Jade Ice" are suspended on the east wall as fragmented reflections of the native desert garden landscape. The west fire wall sneaks in slivers of light through one-quarter-inch-thick clear plexi-glass panels set on edge in a random pattern within the vertical masonry head joints of the wall. The north end of the building terinates the east wall with a service tower that frames a wall opening where "the tree from sleepy hollow" lives. The exterior presence of a buildng in a garden engages the street with a quiet strength, with little or no indication of the volumetri structural envelope; wall, canopy and plinth. Elements of the program suspend within the space so as not to till it. The stair climb involves multiple turns, at once part of te vitrine, at another turn focusing on a cluster of 'liquid mercury' head joints, and a carefully placed sculpture. In t...

"The dynamics of the Contemporaine begin at the entrance, which is literally carved out at the street corner. This engaging public space is highlighted by an impressive 45-foot column supporting the tower above.Located on a corner lot in the downtown Chicago River North area, this 28-unit, 96,000 square foot condominium building includes a four-story retail and parking base below the 11-story residential tower. Tight site restrictions required innovative design solutions. The base of the building fills the entire lot yet achieves a pedestrian scale. Mirroring the tower above, the structure of the parking garage is exposed with floor-to-ceiling glass.

sketchup effect
2007-04-16 16:47:00
I was trying with different pen effects on the model. Do you know how easy it is to create a pen sketch drawing with sketchup? With different pen width, color, background effect and transparency with one click? It takes me at least 15mins to sketch something like this on site 5 years ago, now it only take seconds. After building a model in sketchup. You can have any view you want, any effect you prefer with seconds. And don't forget the ability to create animation in sketch~! Taking over Piranesi soon~!

Theory of Architecture
2007-04-01 16:40:00
"Not all industrial products are modern inventions. There are several types of artifacts that have been produced during generations. Accordingly, these products have also been the object of many studies and theories. The most notable example of these is the building. The art and science of architecture has been studied almost continuously during two millennia, and a great number of these treatises have been preserved until our day.
