Optical Illusion House for Spiritual Retreat – Architectecture Mondays
August 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Designed by Emilio Ambasz in 1975, this genre-defying architectural oeuvre entitled “House for Spiritual Retreat” located in Spain draws inspiration from the Andalusian Moorish heritage of Spain and minimal architecture. The thin folding walls resemble an open book. Staircases lead up to a room which provides a panoramic view of the breath-taking landscape on the other side. The living quarters are actually located underground (providing thermal insulation) and open up to the courtyard. Simply one of the true architectural wonders of the world.

Funny Short of Designers Who Really Are Models – Short Sundays
August 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Firm DK has come up with a hilarious mockumentary presentation. We’ve all come across similar characters. Sadly, the reality of the design world is that the physical looks of the person often play a more important role than the quality of the idea. Prentension often takes the place of any real creativity.

Architecture Mondays – Social Housing That Sounds Like Luxury Housing
January 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment
In none other that Vienna, Alt-Erlaa, a social housing complex built between 1973 and 1985 for 10,000 low-income residents. On top of each of the 27-storey cascading blocks, there is an outdoor swimming pool used regularly by 70% of the residents. Too cold outside? You can use one of the myriad indoor swimming pools. How about a bit sauna? A little trip to the solarium? Some tennis? All that, and a whole lot more facilities are available to the residents. And of course, there is ample greenery to make you forget you are in a city let alone a housing project concrete block.
