Architecture by Shinobu Ichihara
There's something so appealing about Japanese architecture, the open spaces and sense of purity is unique to anywhere else. To be honest, you don't see it all that often in other parts of the world, but when you do it really stands out because of the surrounding houses or those that are close by. I
A Modernist in Suburbia, Kenneth Wood Architect
Usually I try to find some sort of film to inspire me each week, it's been a category on the site that we've enjoyed filling up over the years. It also seems like a lot of people respond to film in a positive way, I guess when you can see and hear at the same time all the senses come alive, even if
Richard Meier 2013 Architizer A+ Lifetime Achievement Award
Richard Meier seems to have cropped up a lot lately on the web, if you've been checking our twitter or facebook page you may have seen me linking to articles discussing his work and achievements. Lets face it, Richard is a master when it comes to architecture, he's spent over 50 years dedicating his
Architecture and Interiors by Hiroyuki Shinozaki
Architecture hasn’t been a feature on the site as of late, so I’m making a conscious effort to slot some in to the mix. In fact, I’ve had a few draft posts saved of locations around the web that have inspired me but I hadn’t been able to string something together as such, so today we’re g
Interior Spaces by Kouichi Kimura Architects
I’m often stumped when it comes to architectural websites, usually the photography’s not quite there in terms of size or quality, which means I can’t showcase it on the blog (my standards are pretty high). Last week I decided to start a Pinterest of our own, follow us here if you’re on Pinte
Architecture by Alberto Campo Baeza
Today I found some much needed architecture inspiration, it's been a little while and I've been that way inclined for some time. In fact, as I'm not a trained architect myself I often learn things through general research, films, and other informative material on the subject. My bookshelf is stacked
The Obayashi Collection, A Tour of Takeo Obayashi’s Yu-un Guesthouse
We’ve been extremely spoilt here on the site with different documentaries and short films, today I’m taking the time to showcase another one thanks to Philip Dolin of Particle Productions, the man behind the Collections series for VIP Art. One that caught my attention was a piece on ‘The Obaya
Design in the Jacques Dupuis Archive
At the moment I feel like I have inspiration flowing at me from all different angles, one website that sums up this feeling nicely is that of Jacques Dupuis. Mr Dupuis was a Belgian architect who happened to be quite a major figure in the countries design and architecture scene, following mainly mod
Louis Kahn Visual Archive by Naquib Hossain
Wow, some incredible captures of buildings designed by the great architect Louis Kahn, photographed by Naquib Hossain. In fact Naquib has a small website dedicated to Louis Kahn which he has coined a “Visual Archive”, quite fitting for this particular series. If you’ve not seen it before I’d
Abstract Architectural Details by Photographer Yusheng Liao
Wow, this has been an extremely hard post to construct. I've been scouring through photographer Yusheng Liao's website titled 'Figure and Find' and I had to whittle it down to a summary of photographs which was near on impossible. Over the years he's amassed a substantial amount of photographs in hi
Marcel Breuer – Design and Architecture
After receiving a few new books in the shop I decided to highlight one in-particular, that being a new publication by Vitra Design Museum titled ‘Marcel Breuer – Design and Architecture’. It’s a book that I highly anticipated myself as a lot of Marcel’s architecture has gone slightly unnot
Ray Kappe: His Home, Influences and Processes
I stumbled into a few pieces of content that revolved around architect Ray Kappe and his work, so it seemed right to capture them in one group and discuss some thoughts across the board. Whilst browsing on the Kappe+DU architecture page I came across their blog section that keeps you up to date with
