Another example of Bad Tectonics.

Bad Tectonics

A house in Kenya by Hogarth Architects.

Well this is quite bad IMHO.    The columns are much too thin.  The mixing of a traditional form with the tricked out columns creates something of a mess.

On second look, not THAT bad ….

Prada Transformer by Rem Koolhaas

http://www.pradatransformer.co.kr

A PAVILION that TRANSFORMS itself to accommodate FOUR different event types.   FASHION, ART, CINEMA, SPECIAL EVENT.

Related perhaps to the BAUHAUS Universal Theatre.    This is either incredibly stupid, or brilliant.

Graphic Concrete

A new way to introduce graphic patterns into concrete.    

This is the SH*T.    I am definitely going to use this !!!!

Wall House by John Hejduk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hejduk

The Wall House is a type of deconstruction of Le Corbusier’s ideas.   In this case, the soft piano curve volumes are attached to a wall, which takes them out of their original context – yet the volumes still represent discrete functional spaces. 

This house was built in the Netherlands after Hejduk’s death by a former student as a form of homage to his teacher.

Temporary Chapel by Local Architecture

This design shows the possibilities of plywood panels.    I dare say this chapel, which was meant to be used for 18 months while the actual church was being renovated, is better than many “real” chapels.
