“La gran dificultad en arquitectura es no saber nunca quién ejecutará la obra. Aquí nuestra estrategia es ser contundentes con el detalle para que aguante la ejecución”.

Cliff House . Moher Retreat

E2A

Somewhere on the southwest coast of Ireland, on the steep, rough cliffs of Moher, the house is conceived as a void in the steep face. As an unoccupied site with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean. Very little is necessary: A stairway as access, a cistern to collect rainwater, cold storage rooms for provisions, a bathroom and a large space as a balcony overlooking the ocean.

As part of the extensive redevelopment of the Antwerp Docks six residential towers will be ranged along the waterfront of the Westkaai. The two towers closest to the city have already been completed by Basel practice Diener and Diener.

It is a building in motion. The wooden structures fold and couple among them modifying its whole size. It is capable of adapting to different inside necessities and outside conditions. A wooden museum integrated in the surrounding park. The arboreal shapes of its flexible inte- riors recall the character of the woods.

La surélévation d'un immeuble de logements vient achever la silhouette discontinue d'un îlot datant du début du XXe siècle et redonne ainsi un second souffle à une construction plutôt banale des années 50.

Guggenheim museum . Helsinki

Fischer Visini Architekten . + Malcolm Reading

The building stands on a large platform of natural stone. Appearing to be an erratic boulder, the cube has an obvious orientation towards the historically grown city and will also give distinction to the South Harbour's waterfront site: An authentic urban space is thus created and will develop into the iconic Guggenheim Museum Helsinki.

In this new series of works, Reus focuses on the curb as an architectural motif, using elements such as manhole covers, pavement cracks and graffiti as starting points for new sculptural forms.

The historic city of Cairo is an exceptional testimony to the evolution of Islamic civilization and to mankind’s urban experience. Its uniqueness lies not only in its monuments and historical districts’ architectural wealth, but also in the human and social heritage, which reveals itself in a vernacular living dimension.

Level up

AA Diploma . teachers: Cristina Díaz Moreno . Efrén García Grinda

‘Level up’ as reality is reconstructed into an immersive, augmented video gaming experience; where both the audio-visual language and the interaction processes associated with them connect players and their bodies to the physical plane even if their minds are overwhelmingly allured during playtime in virtual space. With the spread of online role-playing games, this hybrid space transcends traditional gaming experiences; allowing the players to live out new dimensions and alternate characters without limits. The project is situated at the beginning of spaces that emerge from the superimposition of the physical and the virtual, which constitute themselves through the convergence of ‘technology’, ‘space’, and ‘community’

HILDEGARDSTRASSE HOTEL . Munich

Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos . + competitionline

The design for the new quarter Hildegardstraße is understood as a response to the surrounding urban context to whom it reacts. Its prominent location where former fortifications where placed is determined by a very heterogeneous environment, which shows the transition between densely populated small-scale old city buildings and larger public constructions of the studio theater and the elementary school. The new quarter Hildegardstraße therefore requires not only a functional and volumetric implementation of the required spatial program, but most importantly a deliberate architectural response to the surrounding buildings.

As part of an extensive renovation of a nineteenth-century mansion, the client requested a place for exercise and relaxation beneath their new, private family home. Their brief was straightforward: a space to be discovered underground and of entirely different character than the house above. The space is excavated from the bedrock of the site and seeks sources of daylight from openings at ground level.

The west bank of Lake Garda is characterised by its mild climate and richly cultivated landscape. David Chipperfield Architects has built two villas on the hillside looking over the resort town of Gardone Riviera. Both buildings are carefully inserted into the landscape with its olive groves and cypress trees. Their volumes are divided into individual one or two storey structures, which are offset to one another following the topography of the hillside.

The family house is on a steeply sloping landscape in Marly. It turns to the edge of the forest, while the neighborhood on the back side is very heterogeneous. The building is deliberately build in the top of the land, only the entrance connects to the context of the neighborhood.
The project has two floors, both aligned to the forest. All rooms opening are either on the south or the west façade and oriented to the forest.

The house has been abandoned for over 20 year. One day, the owner wants to return to the old place, built by passed away father, back to the memories that become the most beautiful part of her, and away from crowded city. However, it would be a big concern to revivify the house which has been en­dured sun and rain for that amount of time.

Villa ONE is designed as a flexible home for a young couple with 1-2 children. The floor plan maximizes the social functions in a large open family space with views to the surrounding landscapes, courtyard and secret garden.
Planning restrictions on the site called for a careful and minimal approach positioning the house close to the residential street. In most cases this would be the most ideal location, as you would have a large private garden behind the house. In this case however, it was not.

This year’s anniversary 25th Jewish Culture Festival in Cracow celebrates Kazimierz – Jewish quarter of Cracow, as well as other Jewish districts from around the world. Following the theme, BudCud designed a temporary public space in one of a few empty squares in the district. Noticing the fact that the squares of Kazimierz are its most characteristic features, unfortunately all occupied by cars, monuments or commercial activities, with the festival architects decided to create the FKŻ Quarter – an architectural device for bringing social life to the site. It is a temporary public urban situation created by multiple objects organised around a central elevated square.

Kattendijkdok-Westkaai Towers . Antwerp

Diener & Diener architects . vai

The development of the Kattendijkdok, consisting of new residential buildings, business, culture and leisure centres in the midst of old dock buildings and the harbour basin, is a recent urban extension project instigated by the city of Antwerp. The two areas comprising the harbour are connected along the Falconplein - Nassaustraat axis, and the outlines of the multi-storey buildings are visible form the city centre. A total of three pairs of towers are planned for the Westkaai. Diener & Diener were commissioned for the first pair, along the southern section of the harbour basin, close by Amsterdamstraat. The guidelines stated that the towers should be similar but not identical.
