    Kasper architects + associates Inc. seeks DDRB approval for facade renovation of Downtown office | Jax Daily Record – Jacksonville Daily Record - January 13, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Jacksonville-based Kasper architects + associates Inc. is seeking Downtown Development Review Board conceptual and final approval for the facade renovation of its planned urban studio in the Cathedral District.

    The vacant building is at 500 N. Ocean St., at northwest Ocean and Church streets.

    Built in 1982, two-story structure is about 5,000 square feet.

    The 500 N. Ocean St. building, at northwest Ocean and Church streets.

    Kaspers renovation would include adding brick veneer to the Church and Ocean Street elevations, increasing the size of six windows and installing aluminum storefronts for all windows, according to the DDRB staff report.

    The review board staff recommends approval of the application.

    Kasper architects + associates will maintain its core studio at 10175 Fortune Parkway near The Avenues mall, said Erik Kasper, president and principal architect.

    The company is responding to the surrounding growth in Downtown and the new projects planned and under construction. Its current design work with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Museum of Science & History, the Jacksonville Armada and the Shipyards project contributed to its commitment to Downtown, Kasper said.

    We are passionate about Downtown. The expansion is an investment in Downtown, he said.

    Kasper Land LLC bought the Ocean Street building for $585,000 in August 2023.

    The seller was Five Hundred North Ocean LLC.

    In addition to the facade renovation, Kasper architects plans a full interior remodeling of the building and is pursuing a permit for that project.

    Kasper said he hopes both projects will be completed in May.

    The company plans to hold its 20th anniversary celebration in the building when the new office is finished.

    The DDRB is scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. Jan. 11 in a conference room at the Main Library at 303 N. Laura St.

    The 500 N. Ocean St. building is northwest of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church

    Fernando Lara looks beyond famed architects to uncover deeper themes throughout history | Penn Today – Penn Today - January 13, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Professor of architecture Fernando Lara joined the faculty at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design this past fall, after teaching at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan. Over the last 20 years, Lara has written four books and numerous articles on theorizing spaces of the Americas with an emphasis on the dissemination of design ideas beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries.

    Lara describes his interest in the ways that the creation of abstraction in architecture aligned with the colonialist expansion of European cultures, and the lessons that can be applied from this history to architectural education today. A core part of Laras research has focused on looking at structures beyond buildings designed by famed architects.

    I analyzed the phenomena of how the middle class in Brazil took the vocabulary of famous buildings by elite architects and applied it to their homes, he says. These houses, which were being designed by contractors and even construction workers, were imitating modern architecture.

    Lara has written about the role of abstraction in architecture, linking it to history of colonialist expansion of European influence throughout the world.

    After a decade as a Latin Americanist, I started working more and more with decolonial theories, a body of scholarship that mostly comes from Latin America, with contributions from Africa and South Asia. An important tenet of decolonial theory scholarship is that modernization and colonization are one and the sameone does not exist without the other. Architecture scholarship has celebrated modernization, while trying to avoid the issues of colonization, Lara explains.

    Looking at architectures role in all this, I see that abstraction is a tool for controlling spaces far away in space or in time. As architects, we manipulate spaces that will be built by somebody else in the future. We also use abstraction as a tool to control spaces far away geographically. Spatial abstraction is a process of distancing. We take a distance from the object, using tools and techniques to separate ourselves from the object, so that they can be manipulated. Historically, abstraction relates to the systematization of the design process in the 16th century, paralleling the European occupation of the Americas. With spatial abstraction, London could control New England, or Madrid could control Mexico. Architecture as we know it is integral to that process.

    12. January 2024 Photo Sergio Grazia

    Nine years after winning the competition to design a new shared learning building (BEM) at the cole Polytechnique in Paris-Saclay, France, construction of the building designed by Sou Fujimoto Architects, OXO Architectes, Nicolas Laisn Architectes, and DREAM is complete.

    Comparing the images from the spring 2015 unveiling of the winning design with recent photographs of the completed building taken by Sergio Grazia and Iwan Baan, it appears that cole Polytechnique managed to maintain the main architectural features the origami stairs and roof, and the four-story atrium traversed by footbridges from start to finish, from rendering to reality.

    Below is a visual tour through the building designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto with a trio of Parisian architects: Manal Rachdi (OXO Architectes), Nicolas Laisn, and Dimitri Roussel (DREAM).

    Text description provided by the architects. Located next to the Nanjing Tiebei City Park, the building serves as an art center. Its design attempts to subvert the impression of rigidity commonly associated with buildings with a vibrant organic form reminiscent of a sea of clouds, reflecting a natural harmony.

    The building is composed of two basic elements: a staggered and stacked volume of two semi-reflective and translucent glass boxes on the inner side that simultaneously meet functional requirements and represent the building's static rationality; five horizontal and transparent metal shutter sheets on the outer side that appear like a "flowing sea of clouds," freely moving apart from the glass volume, providing shade from the sun, and symbolizing the dynamic sensibility of the building.

    The relationship between the two basic elements is like the codependence between clothing and bodies, creating a richly expressive intermediary space between the intermittent flickers of light reflecting off of the glass cube and the thin metal shutters. The effect is a beguilingly poetic spatial aesthetic that lends to the interior area a multi-layered sense of outward extension and softly natural interactions. Shifting with the changing light, the superimposed facade appears solid yet yielding, aloof yet elegant, and logical yet emotional.

    The impression of a building is no longer a clear silhouette. Instead, it is an image of time mapped out across layers upon layers. It is an expression of floating light and shadow. It is a fluid exchange between illusion and reality.

    Like a cloud drifting across a water surface It is both architecture and landscape It is elegant as well as silent Finding sensations of life amidst complete purity and sensing the existence of time within ambiguity

    MVRDV has just announced the WrtZ masterplan, that repurposes a former business park near the railway station into a dynamic innovation hub. Developed by AM and designed by a team including MVRDV, Orange Architects, and LOLA Landscape Architect, the scheme introduces residential homes, creative workspaces, dining establishments, and various neighborhood amenities. At the core of the new design is the newly renovated Wrtsil hall, a former factory redesigned with a signature undulating roof topped by a hovering wooden apartment block.

    + 2

    Initially designed by Gert Grosfeld in 1998, the Wrtsil Hall is positioned as the district's focal point. After MVRDVs renovation, the hall is set to become the place for creative businesses, forward-thinking entrepreneurs, and research and educational organizations. Above the Wrtsil hall, a wooden apartment block hovers, providing the new neighborhood with a centering point.

    The WrtZ masterplan is situated in the heart of Zwolle, The Netherlands, and was inspired by the Wrtsil hall. The 9.5-hectare WrtZ was created following the Municipality of Zwolle's station zone development framework and the guidelines provided by Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), the Dutch railway company. The three areas that make up the WrtZ masterplan are Spoorpark to the east, Lurelei to the west, and Werkplaatsen in the middle.

    The WrtZ scheme incorporates shared mobility options, a bicycle innovation center, multipurpose parking hubs, slow-traffic paths, and priority parking for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users. In line with the goals of NS and the Municipality of Zwolle, the plan aims to create a car-free, healthy community surrounding the station. Taking advantage of its current proximity to Zwolles station, the scheme hopes to create a vibrant second city center that highlights pedestrians.

    I consider WrtZ as the daring sister of the historic city centre.The mix of housing typologies, education, facilities, and functions ensures a strong social fabric and opportunities for everyone.--Doeschka Bos, development manager AM.

    The WrtZ district hopes to bring Zwolle closer to realizing its goal of having the greenest inner-city station area in the Netherlands, serving as a national example. With its low-carbon, circular policies and sustainable transportation efforts, WrtZ aims to establish a benchmark for other "station zones" nationwide. It is anticipated that the WrtZ innovation district will begin to take shape gradually around 2025.

    In December, BIG unveiled Gelephu, an envisioned master plan that draws from Bhutanese culture, Gross National Happiness principles, and spiritual heritage. Additionally, CHYBIK+KRISTOF has won an international competition to design a multifunctional tower as a significant part of Tiranas evolving landscape. Finally, Global Architecture Development (GAD) has presented the New Tashkent City master plan, shortlisted in the Master planning category at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) 2023. This comprehensive vision hopes to propel Tashkent, Uzbekistan, into a new development phase through their design strategies.

    Why Architects Should Watch "Perfect Days by Wim Wenders – Archilovers.com - January 13, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The film Perfect Days, directed by German filmmaker Wim Wenders, has been presented in cinemas. The lead actor, Koji Yakusho, was awarded Best Actor at the last Cannes Film Festival.

    The movie is set in Tokyo and depicts the ordinary and monotonous life of Hirayama, a janitor at the public toilets of The Tokyo Toilet, located in one of the city's most famous neighbourhoods, Shibuya.

    One of the peculiarities of the film lies precisely in these toilets, renowned for their architectural design, which the protagonist cleans with excellent method and precision. The creation of 'Perfect Days' originated from a request by the Shibuya administration, asking Wenders to make a documentary dedicated to these bathrooms.

    Toilets have always been a symbol of worldwide renowned Japanese hospitality culture, and The Tokyo Toilet reaffirmed this characteristic.

    The project was initiated in 2018 by The Nippon Foundation, an influential charitable organization supporting welfare projects. The project aims to promote public toilets, debunking the common misconception that they are dark, dirty, smelly, and unsafe places. Instead, the goal is to turn them into new symbols of hospitality, spaces focused on accessibility and inclusion.

    To achieve this, the Foundation commissioned a team of 16 international creatives, including renowned architects like Kengo Kuma and Tadao Ando, to design 17 new public toilets. The result is a perfect synthesis of aesthetics, functionality, and, above all, accessibility.

    Among the architects involved in The Tokyo Toilet is the winner of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize 2014, Shigeru Ban, who created what could be considered the most iconic bathrooms of the project.

    Shigeru Ban-designed toilets in Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park and Haru-no-Ogawa Community Parkfeature walls made of coloured and transparent glass that turns opaque when the door-closing mechanism is activated. This technology might seem unusual, and indeed, in a scene from the film, a foreign woman approaches these facilities with a certain perplexity and asks Hirayama to explain how they work.

    The Tokyo Toilet | Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park, Shigeru Ban Architects -From'Perfect days'by Wim Wenders

    The architect explains the concept behind his design for the structures: There are two things we worry about when entering a public toilet, especially those located at a park. The first is cleanliness, and the second is whether anyone is inside. Using the latest technology, the exterior glass turns opaque when locked. This allows users to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside. At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern.

    The studios involved in The Tokyo Toilet project, in alphabetical order, are Fumihiko Maki, Junko Kobayashi, Kashiwa Sato, Kazoo Sato, Kengo Kuma, Marc Newson, Masamichi Katayama, Miles Pennington, Nao Tamura, NIGO, Shigeru Ban, Sou Fujimoto, Tadao Ando, Takenosuke Sakakura, Tomohito Ushiro, Toyo Ito.

    Croxatto and Opazo Architects front Chilean home with rotated terrace – Dezeen - January 13, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Chilean architecture studio Croxatto and Opazo Architects has created a holiday home outside of Santiago with a rotated, wedge-shaped terrace at its front.

    At just 22 feet by 22 feet (7 metres by 7 metres) and 16 feet (5.5 metres) high, the cube-shaped Casa Lagunita contains a kitchen, living and dining room, two bathrooms and two bedrooms across two levels.

    Located on a hilly site in Laguna Zapalla two hours outside of Santiago, Croxatto and Opazo Architects integrated the house into a 25-degree slope by splitting the program into three "platforms".

    "The project's approach aims to make full use of the terrain by dividing the entire surface into three main platforms, contained by two concrete walls that shape and support the hillside," said the team.

    The first platform contains parking spaces, which are located on ground level and face the structure's concrete foundation.

    An exterior wooden staircase leads to a second platform that supports the house.

    The entrance was placed on the side of the structure, and visitors enter the first-floor living and dining area, which also contains a kitchen running along the far side.

    A bathroom was tucked into a corner of the space, facing a steep wooden staircase that leads to the house's top-floor sleeping area.

    The majority of the staircase was lined in planed pine wood, while its top section was made of metal. Floor-to-ceiling windows span its height, while astorage cupboard sits underneath.

    Next to the staircase's first-floor landing, a door leads to a small terrace that juts out from the facade and is enclosed by a rectangular concrete volume.

    "The large window facing south and west extends toward the street through a roofed, rotated terrace, turning toward the sea, becoming a large beacon that gently incorporates afternoon light, warmly bathing the wooden walls inside the house," said the team.

    The top level contains two bedrooms and a second bathroom which was placed in the same corner as the one below.

    Both the bedrooms and living area are located along the back side of the house, facing the slope.

    Large windows on this side of the house look out over a backyard.

    "To the north, six large Oregon pine windows open, incorporating a small decorative courtyard, expanding the spatial sensation and dressing the interior with vegetation," said the team.

    The third platform of the house, a spacious terrace, was placed at the highest point of land.

    Accessed by a second exterior staircase, it looks out over the surrounding town and beach.

    The team finished the exterior in white-washed concrete, with the majority of the interior lined with 1 by 4 inch pine wood panelling.

    Previously, Croxatto and Opazo Architects perched two timber-clad cabins on the Chilean coast.

    The photography is by Cristbal Palma.

    As a landscape architect, Dan Kiley has significantly contributed to the world of design. The designer worked with influential architects such as Louis Kahn, I.M. Pei, and Eero Saarinen. Influenced by the timeless landscapes of Andr Le Ntre, most of his designs are well-known for their manner of merging grids and alles, striking a balance between natural and organized beauty.

    Opening January 18th, The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley exhibition is a traveling photographic exhibition honoring one of the most critical Modernist landscape architects. Curated by The Cultural Landscape Foundation, the display aims to explore and spread awareness of the architects profound impact. Showcased at The Exhibition Space @ ABC Stone in Brooklyn, the show offers a captivating journey through 27 carefully chosen designs by Dan Kiley.

    + 8

    On display until April 30, 2024, the exhibition offers a journey through 27 designs by the world-renowned Dan Kiley. These include iconic locations such as the Rockefeller University and the Ford Foundation Atrium in New York, Kenjockety in Westport, the Art Institute of Chicagos South Garden, and Patterns, a garden in Wilmington, DE, crafted for Gov. & Mrs. Pierre S. Pete du Pont IV.

    Kileys visionary approach and philosophy are narrated through a collection of photographs by renowned artists like Marion Benner, Todd Eberle, and Alan Ward. Additionally, the exhibition features insights into Kileys collaborations, featuring recollections from his colleagues and details about the architects creative process.

    Dan Kiley worked on many significant projects throughout his career, but the design of Columbus, Indiana's Miller House and Garden is among his most well-known and iconic creations. This 1957 project, which was completed, is frequently regarded as a masterwork of modernist landscape architecture. Praised for blending indoor and outdoor spaces, the design combines geometric shapes with vegetation pools.

    The architect is also remembered for the South Garden at the Art Institute of Chicago. Designed in collaboration with architect Eero Saarinen, the South Garden showcases the designers modernist philosophy and approach. Completed in 1962, the garden boasts clean lines, geometric patterns, and carefully placed plantings. The design uses a grid layout with other integrated elements of order and symmetry.

    Landscape architecture shapes our environments and fosters relationships between people and their surroundings. This week, the Danish Landscape Award 2023 was awarded to the H.C. Andersen Garden designed by MASU Planning. Last month, BIG unveiled Gelephu, an envisioned master plan that draws from Bhutanese culture. The plan is filled with green spaces, adhering to the sustainable standards of the worlds first official carbon-negative country, Bhutan. Additionally, Archi-Tectonics NYX has completed the masterplan transformation for the Hangzhou Asian Games Park 2022. Spanning 116 Acres, the project includes an expansive Eco-Park and seven buildings, charting a new path for the citys environmental future.
