Given a flat property lacking what is generally called “historical context,” there is only one genuine architectural option, and that is to place a highly ambitious building onto the site that is both functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. This was the approach...

Alessi Il Tempo della Festa Timbale Moulds are a set of 6 architecturally inspired silicone molds that come in black, white, and three transparent colorways designed by Mario Trimarchi. As they describe, “Ever since the end of the 1500s the shapes of desserts, cake moulds and timbales have been evolving, often imitating or reproducing forms found in architecture and nature. Mario Trimarchi, with this series of six Timbales for sweet and savory preparations.” Depending on what you’re making, you can layer in different colors and substances to create surprising jello shots, cakes, and more! Take a peek at sketches, initial molds, and more on the next page!

Par Estelle Berger.
Bien qu’issu de l’industrie, le design ne se limite pas à une utilisation servile de ses techniques. Le designer a pour premier rôle de garantir l’adéquation entre l’objet à fabriquer et les moyens employés pour le faire. Sa démarche peut donc questionner le processus de fabrication en série, sa légitimité ou ses limites. Parfois, la qualité ou le sens d’un objet ne réside pas dans une réalisation parfaite ni dans une reproductibilité sans faille. Pour le sociologue Richard Sennett: « La créativité consiste à comprendre la différenciation et faire en sorte qu’elle s’exprime. Prenez des violons faits par Stradivarius, ils ne sont pas uniques, ils sont tous très différents et chacune de ces différences est porteuse d’expression. Ils ne sont pas multiples au sens revendiqué par Warhol où aucune variation n’intervient dans ses reproductions. La créativité réside dans la différenciation. »(1)
Jusqu’ici, la variation inter-individuelle entre éléments d’une même série était une caractéristique propre au travail manuel, combattue par une industrie qui n’a eu de cesse de chercher à effacer toute imperfection, toute trace d’intervention humaine. Mais certains projets invitent à un changement de regard sur ce que le système industriel est prompt à étiqueter comme « défaut ». L’imperfection, plus que tolérée, y est mise en scène et magnifiée comme une irrégularité maîtrisée, qui permet d’envisager...

Constructed for the Changwon Suclpture Biennale 2012 held in Changwon city, South Korea the Brick-Pod Pavilion defines architecture as ‘a sculpture with interior space’, and attempts to create a dome with black bricks which has been used for traditional architecture here in Korea. Designed by Kazuya Morita Architecture Studio, you can enjoy the breezing air, moving leafs, and sparkling sunshine through its numbers of the openings, feeling much more sensitive than when we are outside. More images and architects’ description after the break.
By using only 15mm thickness brack brick, we tried to make it not like a heavy and massive dome as usual masonry architecture does. The dome has a 4.5m hight, 3.3m diameter, 0nly 30 mm in thickness, which means it is much thinner than an egg shell...

“¿A qué se dedican los arquitectos?”
Parece una pregunta sencilla. Sin embargo da para generar muchas otras, como se plantea en este nuevo número de la revista ARQ correspondiente a enero del 2013, que ya va por su publicación nº83:
“ En el contexto actual de cambios permanentes y –al menos en Chile– con una sobreoferta creciente de profesionales de la arquitectura que al libre mercado le llevará un buen tiempo equilibrar, quizás la pregunta debiese ser más bien ¿a qué puede...

Straight off the back of his exhibition at Sydney's MCA, contemporary artist Anish Kapoor is currently exhibiting a comprehensive collection of his work at the Martin Gropius Bau Museum in Berlin. It consists of 70 works that cover 3,000 square metres - with some of the new pieces referencing the building's link to Berlin and the Nazi era. In the atrium of the museum stands one of the larger pieces - Sympathy for a Beloved Sun - where four conveyor belts carry wax up high and then it tips over the edge, crashing to the ground with a loud splat. The piece itself is an homage to artist Joseph Beuys who presented 'In Zeitgeist' in the same space in 1982.
The exhibition runs until the 24 of November 2013.

“Lolo” es el nombre del ultimo piso diseñado por el chileno Pablo Llanquin para la empresa Medular Design. En palabras del diseñador, el objetivo del proyecto ha sido diseñar un piso entretenido que le entregue color y vitalidad a la casa o el lugar donde se inserte, pero que también tenga detalles y materiales más nobles.
