Renee integrated coarse stucco and horizontal
corrugated metal in white and black as a pattern
signifying the major spaces. Over the entry and
in the main construction space, she played with
pattern in the curtain walls by replacing some
glass panels with metal panels that are orange, the
YouthBuild school color. The orange color is very
prominent in the main entry and the construction
facility, emphasizing the importance of construction
to the YouthBuild philosophy.

Currently, there are not any fire stations within an appropriate range for development on the Drift Road site. This will make it essential for a proposed development to contain a pond and pump onsite for immediate fire control until further assistance arrives. Should municipal water not be available for residents on this site, private well systems will need to be built on each property, a minimum of 100 feet away from any septic system.

This market essentially combines a marketplace with an existing or new industrial building. The hybrid created results in space that has daily retail sales and hours, as well as other goods available at other times. The industrial aspect typically acts as the anchor, as the market’s activities help attract a different group of consumers at other business times. An example of this would be a seafood supply warehouse that also provides dining and entertainment as a nightlife destination.

Current Dichotomies: Seven Reminders To Contemporary Architects, Marcelo Spina

Ever since Robert Venturi’s influential book Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, the word complexity has been in the horizon of architecture as a form of imaginative progress and cultural relevance. In the mid 80s and under the influence of the post-structuralist work of Jacques Derrida, the deconstructive project in architecture aimed to create visual complexity through formal collision, fragmentation, and dislocation of existing canons.

In 1945, Arts and Architecture announced that they would be publishing the designs of eight case study houses that envisioned the “house—post war.” These infamous Case Study Houses grew from an initial eight to thirty-six designs over twenty-two years—some built, some imagined.

Architecture is successful by connecting visually, emotinally, and viscerally with the oberserver/user through its complexity. For this reason, complexity is a generative tool.

The Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was crowned by the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) as the tallest structure built by man. So striking was the achievement that the CTBUH, in their yearly awards ceremony, created a special category titled "Global Icon" to do justice for the achievement.

We are in the age of New Ecology. A paradigm shift in ecological thinking has unfolded over the last 25 years, and with it, a slow recognition of the inherent and fundamental complexity that shapes and defines our living world.

Ideas mature, but interestingly enough, they never get old! It is also notable how are they born. In my case, two elements brought them forward: one question and an admirably unique surrounding.

Conflict Of Interpretations, Carlos Mar

Language is intellect and matter; one can act upon it. As in the assessment of historical evidence, it is possible to distance language from the regulations and the corresponding eagerness of orthodoxy.

Fitting, Or How Things Arrange Themselves, Nicholas Boyarsky

Questions about complexity in architecture always leave me somewhat bemused. If one does ascribe to the view that architecture is there to provide answers to problems and that there are clearly prescribed methods and rules to deliver it, then one can, I assume, inhabit and work within a world of simplicity, happily innocent and always doint the right thing.

In the 21st century, what is the potential of Hybrid Buildings? Certainly the hyper-urbanization of cities in China, such as Shenzhen, Beijing and Chengdu, can act as catalyst incubators for new and experimental architectural types.

In their introduction to the book, Nurture, about BNIM's work, authors Rodolphe el-Khoury and Andrew Payne spoke about the emergence of a new pragmatism in contemporary architecture, a concern with "how well buildings perform in response to the full range of social and ecological issues they are called on to organize."

We often take it for granted that architecture is a visual art. We think of it in visual terms. We design and evaluate our producton visually… But do we experience a building or an urban environment exclusively in visual terms?

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the highest political leader in Japan, shook his head in disbelief. His tenure as Prime Minister had been tense, partly due to the ongoing question of a replacement airfield for the U.S. Marines in Futenma. A predecessor, Yukio Hatoyama, also suffered political fallout stemming from his reversal of a public promise to find a replacement location for the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station. Prior to the Hatoyama administration, the Japanese government had selected a new location for the Marine Air Station, a remote area far removed from the busy city of Okinawa in Henoko. Moving …
