Scary Skylodge: Geometric Glass Hotel Pod Clings to a Cliff

09 Jul

[ By Steph in Destinations & Sights & Travel. ]

skylodge 1

Clinging to a craggy cliff like an oversized artificial barnacle, this pod is only accessible to those willing to scale the 400-foot rock face from the base of a Peruvian mountain. If you’re brave and hardy enough to pull off that feat, you’ll probably do just fine taking up residence in a hotel room that the rest of us will only ever have nightmares about. In addition to its precarious location, the Natura Vive Skylodge is completely transparent, so you can’t exactly forget that you’re hundreds of feet in the air while inside.

As fragile as they look, these three pods are made of aerospace aluminum and weather-resistant polycarbonate, so they’re not likely to be blown down or punctured in a storm. At 25 feet long and 8 feet wide, each one is spacious enough to accommodate eight guests, offering comfortable beds, a dining room and even a private bathroom.

The journey to the pod is actually safer than it looks, as climbers can be tied to a steel cable as they traverse the trails, with ladders and bridges helping them to the top. This zipline route offers alternate access for those who aren’t experienced enough to make the climb. You can even hook yourself to the cables as you perch on a wooden observation deck positioned atop each pod, looking out over the valley.

Solar panels capture energy to power four interior lamps and a reading light, and the ‘sink’ and toilet are dry. The roughly $ 300-per-person-per-night fee includes transportation to and from your hotel, guides, equipment, snacks, a gourmet dinner with a bottle of wine and an al fresco breakfast.

Snarkitecture: 9 Fun Installations & Pop Up Shop Designs

09 Jul

[ By Steph in Art & Installation & Sound. ]

snarkitecture main

If you’re a fully-grown adult wishing you could still dive into ball pits or play with marble runs, design duo Snarkitecture makes it possible and cool to do so with their stark, surreal all-white installations. You’re not being immature, you’re taking part in an artistic process! The Brooklyn-based artists are best known for experimental environments investigating the unknown within architecture, often making use of unexpected materials like inflatable tubes and stiff white foam. Here are 9 of their most playful projects.

Ball Pit

The National Building Museum in Washington D.C. has been transformed into a ‘beach’ with the addition of nearly 1 million recyclable translucent plastic balls. Visitors are invited to dive into the 10,000-square-foot installation, which “encourages exploration and interaction with one’s surroundings, and offers an unexpected and memorable landscape for visitors to relax and socialize within.” White beach chairs and umbrellas line the ‘shore,’ offering a vantage point from which to observe adults frolicking like 5-year-olds in a McDonald’s playground. The installation will remain in place until September 7th, 2015.

Dig

Armed with helmets, chisels and pick axes, Snarkitecture dug their way through a solid block of architectural foam from inside the Storefront for Art and Architecture at the entrance of the Design Miami Pavilion in 2012. A combination of installation art and performance, the project had visitors watching the designer duo as they excavated a network of tunnels and inhabited them for a month in a sort of human ant farm. “Dig was an experiment between the precision of the architectural plan and the looseness of the unknown,” say the designers. “The installation and performance explored the intersection of primitivism and contemporary architecture; the complexity of the final surfaces and form suggested a digital origin and concealed the simplicity of a space made entirely by hand.”

Parking Garage Air Ball

1111 Lincoln Road, an ultramodern parking garage by Swiss architecture firm Herzog de Meuron, became the setting for a high-design game of airball with an installation by Snarkitecture and fashion retailer Alchemist. Titled AIRBALL, the interactive installation is “a custom environment designed by Snarkitecture that draws on familiar objects and materials from the visual and spatial world of basketball, while interpreting them through a unique and creative lens.” Visitors to the all-white arena located on level 5 of the car park could compete side-by-side while looking out over the Miami skyline.

Cave

COS stores collaborated with Snarkitecture to create a surreal cavern sculpted from thousands of paper-thin fabric sheets at Milan Design Week. Hung from the ceiling at various heights, the strips create a luminescent chamber echoing the aesthetics of the fashion brand’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection, drawing visitors in from street level and transporting them to an intimate showroom. Navigating the small hollows within the dangling fabric was a sort of adventure, a pause between the chaos of the external world and the soothing retail space.

Drift

Hundreds of sausage-like inflatable tubes were sandwiched within a light metal frame to create an undulating temporary space for Snarkitecture’s ‘Drift’ pavilion at Design Miami 2012. Echoing the materials used for the tent itself, the vinyl tubes dripped down from overhead like man-made stalactites to create an interactive and contemplative environment filled with filtered light and punctuated with occasional views of the Miami sky. “The rising landscape becomes a beacon for visitors approaching Design Miami/ while the excavated cavern presents a moment of exploration before entering the fair.”

Hide-a-Room: Flip-Out Wall Furniture Puts 3 Rooms in 1 Space

08 Jul

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Fixtures & Interiors. ]

folding space

Wooden slats and white surfaces shape both the aesthetic and function of this all-in-one interior design, becoming part of the visual language of the walls while also revealing which pieces and parts can be pulled down for additional uses.

fold out room

Following a compelling previous project involving trap doors and secret fixtures, this new design from Madrid-based Elii Architects takes a similar approach to a new challenge and smaller dwelling.

fold out furniture

folding sliding doors panels

The 250-square-foot space in question is screened off by translucent panels tied into the visual language of the rest of the room. These slide open to reveal an area with a single central window on one wall and flanked by secret furnishings and both open and closed storage spaces. And yet, part of the refreshing surprise of this solution is perhaps the actual lack of secrecy – the arrangement of boards and panels along the walls hint at their interactive nature.

In turn, the seemingly-empty area serves dining, working, sleeping functions, with a dinner table and bench that flip down from one section, a workstation that flips down from another, and a bed that folds out on the wall across. When everything is folded back up, the remaining void can of course be used for other activities as well. “As a result, the main space of the house is configured like the black box in a theatre: a stage that can alter the domestic setting with simple operations that turn one house into many.”

Curvaceous Skyscraper: Beyoncé Inspires High-Rise Down Under

08 Jul

[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Cities & Urbanism. ]

curved skyscraper shapely tower

Architects in Melbourne cite the cloth-clad dancers in the music video for Ghost by singer, songwriter and performer Beyoncé as the source of this newly-approved building, tall, slender and full of curves. Indeed, the whole building looks like an undulating figure on a pedestal, rectilinear below and organic above.

curved vertical skyscraper design

A skyline-shaping and head-turning structure, the mixed-use Premier Tower was designed by local firm Elenberg Fraser and boasts structural as well as aesthetic reasons for its complex appearance. The architects explain that “the twists and turns of this new project belie its pure and simple, first principles rationale,” representing the “culmination of our significant research into how to best work with individual site and climatic constraints, brought together using our new parametric modelling techniques.”

Structurally, the cantilever helps redistribute the mass to deal with frequency oscillation and wind loads needed to deal with local environmental conditions and meet building codes. At the same time, watching the music video (above) shows the visual source of inspiration that drove this design direction in the first place (arguably also influenced by the work of Zaha Hadid).

The distinctively exterior curviness is carried into various interior elements as well, from wavy ceilings to complex cylindrical columns, repeating the same curvilinear theme throughout various indoor spaces both communal and private.

The finished complex will house over 600 apartments and 100 hotel rooms, sitting next to Southern Cross station, anchoring a western progression within the city “heralded by the regeneration of Docklands, Fishermen’s Bend and Southbank.” Significantly taller than structures on all sides, the bold design sets a new precedent for the neighborhood. Creating a direct connection to a public figure in the entertainment industry is also a daring move, and likely to brand the building going forward, for better or worse.

Cliff Diving: Dramatic Concrete Home & Pool Cut into Precipice

07 Jul

[ By Steph in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ]

casa brutale main

File this dramatic cliff-hanging, swimming-pool-topped home called Casa Brutale under ‘fit for a villain in every possible way.’ Practically begging to be used as a base for unsavory characters in a film, this concrete residence set into the craggy hills overlooking the Aegean Sea is surprisingly modest and spare, free of flashy luxuries.

cas brutale 6

casa brutale 2

It doesn’t need to show off, really, when its very existence in this location packs such a powerful visual impact. You enter the home from a stairway on the ground level, descending into an interior that’s shielded from the sky only by the glass-bottomed swimming pool.

casa brutale 3

casa brutale 4

Anyone who swims in the pool is instantly turned into entertainment for the people watching from below, and the watery reflections cast over every surface are the main defining characteristic of the simple, open interior spaces. The entire cliff-facing facade is also made of glass further opens the home to the shimmer of water, this time from the sea.

casa brutale 9

casa brutale 7

OPA (Open Platform for Architecture) clearly heard the cries of ‘James Bond villain lair’ when their initial drawings were released, so they’ve worked a nod or two into the new renderings, including a requisite Ferrari.

casa brutale 5

“Case Brutale is a geometrical translation of the landscape,” say the architects. “It is an unclad statement on the simplicity and harmony of contemporary architecture. It is a chameleonic living space, created to serve its owner and respect the environment… in literal groundbreaking integration, Casa Brutal penetrates the landscape.”

Surprises in Storage: 14 Clever Compartments & Organizers

07 Jul

[ By Steph in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

storage main

Rejecting the idea that storage furniture needs to be hyper-functional above all, these innovative bookcases, credenzas, wardrobes, tables and shelves put the focus on unusual shapes and unexpected uses. These exceptionally well-designed storage solutions stand out, whether by hiding compartments in novel places, stacking modules in new ways or making a visual statement as sculpture.

Opening in Waves

storage wave 1 storage wave 2

Why should every item of storage furniture open via drawers and doors? ‘Wave’ by Sebastian Errazuriz turns the process of retrieving and replacing your stored items into a sort of artistic display with credenzas and armoires that open in entirely unexpected ways. “I don’t know where the line is between art and design,” he says. “It’s important to me that a project consist of just a little twist, because I ultimately want people to see the obvious, the everyday differently.”

Architecture As a Cabinet

storage architecture 2 storage architecture 1

OMA’s monumental CCTV headquarters building is recreated in furniture form by designer Nathan Li, turning it into a combination bench and storage case with cutouts in the wood mimicking the structure’s gridded glass facade.

Pin Press Storage

storage pin press storage pin press 2

This pin press design by OOO My Design brings a childhood toy into full-scale as a functional item. Press the pins in any which way you want to create little pockets in custom sizes and shapes, perfectly fitting whatever objects you need to store.

Storage As a Perfectly Stacked Sculpture

storage sculpture

Everyone who’s ever packed a moving truck as full as it can possibly get or jammed a bunch of stuff into a closet knows that the problem with this carefully Tetris’ed design lies in the fact that once you take something out, getting it back the way it was is near impossible. Still, it’s an impressive example of compressing a whole lot of stuff into the smallest possible space (and is actually a sculptural installation by Michael Johansson rather than a real storage cabinet.)

Table with Secret Storage

storage secret table 2

Virtually every compartment built into this wooden table by Naoki Hirakoso opens in a different way, so as you feel along the visible seams trying to open them, you’ll have to alternately push, pull, slide and lift. The seams produce abstract lines when the piece is fully closed.

Baked In: Laser-Etched Rolling Pins Imprint Edible Patterns

06 Jul

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Products & Packaging. ]

Laser engraving wraps all the way around these clever and customizable pins, creating anything from robots and dinosaurs to mazes and words to liven up your edible creations.

In addition to animal, geometric and typographical themes, Valek Rolling Pins offers fully-custom options as well as designs sorted by holiday and season, including Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

The pins are placed on a rotating spindle and then laser-engraved with a choice of patterns, the process leaving the wood char-darkened in the resulting voids against the lighter starting surface.

Aside from the appealing marks they make on dough for cookies, pies and otherwise, the patterns also add a display dimension for those who keep their rolling pins visible when not in use. In addition to the cute effects in this case, this array of options is also a good reminder of the non-standard creative possibilities for laser-etching technologies.

Unread: 12 Abandoned Inner City Newsstands

05 Jul

[ By Steve in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ]

Once vital fixtures of the urban milieu, these inner city newsstands were abandoned by an information society evolving away from portable print media.

Time’s up for this classic green newsstand near the corner of 34th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. One of many near-identical twins still thrives nearby at 33rd and 7th, however – blame the cold equations of economics driven by the relentless advance of technology.

Flickr user Brecht Bug captured the forlorn state of this formerly ubiquitous inner city icon in early February of 2010. One wonders if its grungy sister stand at 33rd and 7th (above) is still serving commuters the Daily News five years further on?

L.A. Times They Are a-Changin’

abandoned newsstands 2

Our rickety old globe has spun many a time since Globe News, a Los Angeles storefront-style newsstand, locked & lowered its security grating for the last time. According to Flickr user vistavision (who snapped this intriguingly post-apocalyptic tableau), the stand closed for good sometime before July 16th of 2008.

Free At Last

An abandoned newsstand in midtown Manhattan presents a uniformly dull and dreary face to a world that no longer cares. Flickr user DeShaun Craddock captured the somber scene in April of 2011 and it’s noteworthy the only bright spot is an ad for a disposable, addictive, carcinogenic product.

Malls of America: The Death & Life of Indoor Shopping Centers

05 Jul

[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Offices & Commercial. ]

southdale_center_1956

The inventor of the suburban American mall as we know it came to hate the effect his creations, turning over time from the creator of this building typology to its biggest critic. Architect Victor Gruen’s first mall was Southdale in 1956, located in Edina (a suburb of Minneapolis) only miles away from the Mall of America, now the largest indoor shopping center in the United States. Later this month, you can learn more first hand about the man and legend on Gruen Day, hosted by Tim Hwang of the Bay Area Infrastructure Observatory and Avery Trufelman, producer of 99% Invisible’s episode ‘The Gruen Effect‘.

The episode (embedded above) takes its title from that phenomena we all have come to associate with malls: a compulsion to consume, driven by dazzling displays and careful product placements in stores designed to sell. Gruen had loftier aspirations and nobler inspirations, however, when he first began to illustrate the problem of suburbs and conceive of malls as the solution.

gruen suburban analysis chart

More than just shopping centers, these were to be all-in-one ‘third spaces’ – places in addition to home and work where people could walk, interact and socialize. Following the model of European city centers, he also envisioned them as mixed-use architecture, blending commercial with residential and office spaces, perhaps even including public services like medical centers, libraries and daycares.

southdale center aerial view

Recognizing American reliance on automobiles, Gruen hoped to lure people with ample parking to these centers of activity, then recreate for them the experience of tightly-packed urban streets, vibrant and full of everyday life. Walking into Southdale, you would never guess that this was a first attempt, given its resemblance to other malls around the country.

southdale opening photo

The shortcomings of this plan were, as we now know, numerous, including but not limited to the privatization of public space. One cannot protest in a mall or walk its halls at any time day or night, and skylights are not a replacement for open skies. Indeed, while malls were popular for a time, the public has fallen out of love with them – the last full-sized shopping center was built nearly a decade ago and there appear to be few if any new ones on the horizon.

mall of america exterior

In some ways, the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, built in the 1990s and currently being expanded, embodies more of what Gruen envisioned for malls, containing at its center a series of recreational spaces, rides and amusements, and flanked on its sides by places to stay (albeit temporarily – hotels not homes). People even walk and jog its halls in the early hours before stores open, much as they might on city streets – some even get married within its walls.

mall of america interior

Perhaps, though, the relative success of this venture is tied in part to the location – the Minneapolis area is almost unbearably cold for most of the year, then quite hot and humid in the summer, making it a perfect place for a temperature-controlled alternative to being outside.

gruen day celebration

As for Gruen: he eventually returned to Vienna and rejected his work on American malls, advocating for urban renewal in city centers. Meanwhile, interested Bay Area readers will want to get tickets for Gruen Day, taking place in one of Gruen’s earliest malls and featuring speakers, tours, and (of course) food courts, and read more of this story (and many others) at 99% Invisible (illustration by Victor Gruen, poster by the BAIO and photographs via LIFE Magazine, MallsofAmerica and MNopedia).

Light Lines: Stunning String Installation Inside Abandoned Church

04 Jul

[ By Steph in Art & Installation & Sound. ]

abandoned church installation 1

What seems at first to be narrow rays of turquoise light streaming in through the stained glass windows of a vacant Gothic Revival church turn out to be over 6,500 feet of paracord painstakingly wound around ornate posts and columns. Artist Aaron Asis temporarily transformed West Philadelphia’s St. Andrew’s Collegiate Chapel, which has been closed for more than 40 years, with a geometric string installation that shifts the spatial perception within its darkened nave.

abadoned church installation 2 abandoned church installation 3

Entitled Ci-Lines, the project re-opened the disused chapel for three days over three weekends so visitors could take in both the grandeur of the church itself and the surreal sight of criss-crossing string creating new geometries within the negative space. Built in 1924, the chapel was used for sermon lessons and school services until 1974, and though the larger complex has been reclaimed for other uses, the chapel remains vacant.

abandoned church installation 5

“The geometry of Ci-Lines is like an artistic exercise in connecting the dots, crisscrossing overhead and inviting visitors to visually explore a sculptural form as a portal into the nuances of a vacant environ,” says Asis. “The resultant series of cords in tension draws direct inspiration from the existing architectural form inside the chapel. These cords literally render a woven and symmetrical connection between the ornamental posts lining the chapel walls and architectural columns featured along the balconies above, combining to act as a temporary catalyst for observation, investigation, conversation, and realization of spatial majesty in vacant context.”

Asia hopes that the project will renew interest in the historic structure, helping to preserve it as the cityscape around it shifts and changes. Making use of vacant spaces for art installations helps the public see them in a new light and can spur ideas for revitalization.
