Mixed Architectural Imagery by Artechnic
I always have mixed feelings towards architecture, especially when I put together an article here on the site. It's hard to come across works that really entice me and usually the ones that do have already been written about. Another problem is the 'new modern' trend that seems to be spreading acros
David Adjaye Speaks on Race & Heritage
I wanted to share this film today as it really gets behind the personality and persona of an established architect, which for me is the most important element of architecture. The people that will use these buildings each day and how they will interact, make connections and hold the designed spaces
Fray Leon House by 57 Studio Architects
I thought I’d begin the week with a slice of architecture as I’ve not come across too much myself since thursday’s film with the one and only Jen’s Risom. Today I’ve opted for more of a recent build with this contemporary design from Chile, created by architectural firm 57 Studio. I felt w
Jens Risom’s Block Island Retreat by Gary Nadeau
Short film has been a little thin on the ground this week for the subjects we typically like to discuss here, so I'm pretty relieved to come across Gary Nadeau's latest project on behalf of Dwell, as they caught up with mid-century maestro Jens Risom. The iconic Danish designer took some time out to
Volga House by Architect Peter Kostelov
Russia isn't somewhere that we've typically turned to in terms of showing architecture here on the blog, however I came across the work of Peter Kostelov earlier and was really impressed with the way he was using reclaimed materials within his projects. He's a former winner of the International Arch
Atrium House by BFS Design
I thought I'd come through with a little architecture for you all today as a means to balance up what we've got lined up already on the platform from the past few days. I'm sure many of you don't even give this a second thought but we are often weighing up what to bring in next and whether we are to
Tadao Ando Photographed by Donata Wenders
I've not talked about a highly acclaimed designer in a while so I thought I'd buck the trend today and bring you something slightly different. As you can imagine I regularly go through phases of inspiration, just like everyone else, so when I came across this brilliant photography matched with a sup
Strick house by Oscar Niemeyer
Time for some more modernist architecture I think. I've been on the browse since wednesday when we highlighted Marion Berrin's collection of Le Corbusier photos and luckily this morning I came across another beautiful build, this time by Oscar Niemeyer. I say architecture, and of course it is, becau
Marion Berrin photographs Le Corbusier’s La Radieuse
Today I've been around the houses in search for content, as my first preference is always to try and find a short film as I feel that these best convey a project, especially if they involve some kind of interview with the creative minds behind each. A handful of topics however, like architecture for
Garance Dore Photographs Russel Wright’s Home
After sharing the work of the late great sculptor Constantin Brancusi yesterday I felt compelled to search out another master if you will that is no longer with us. Given we've featured a good number of names that the history books won't let us forget, I found myself searching over a few that we'd v
Why people Love and Hate Le Corbusier
Those that live their lives by strict ideals will always divide the crowds, to many Le Corbusier is the greatest architect that ever lived and to others his arrogance oversaw his talent. What cannot be denied or plainly ignored however is his contribution to global architecture and his legacy that c
Adam Currie Photographs the Barbican
One of the things I love about what we do here is the connections we make, and the diversity that this presents. Some days we strive to preserve the legacy that an individual has left behind, others feature creatives in their prime, and today we highlight the handiwork of someone just starting out a
