The use of steel in construction ushered in Modernism, this we know. But how are architects using metal in this day and age?
Read our Top Ten: Nü Metal, representing metal design innovation today.
Mountain Dwellings, BIG, Copenhagen, Denmark (above)
Gran Casino Costa Brava by Fermín Vázquez b720 Arquitectos in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
One of our top ten Flavin-esque buildings.
The impeccable EggO House in Prague by architects A69 illustrates our concrete skylight trend quite nicely. You know who also dictates trends? Kanye West.
Maybe that’s why he featured this home in his full-length video for ‘Runaway.’
Trend alert! Top ten architecture projects featuring holepunched concrete.
For example, Limmatplatz Tramway Station by Baumann Roserens Architekten in Zürich, Switzerland.
Another concrete skylight, this one at High School in Morieres Les Avignon, Elodie Nourrigat, Jacques Brion byNB architects in Morières les Avignon, France.
We have been trying to finger this one as a trend, now here’s the roundup. Circular concrete skylights and holepunched walls, thanks in part to that sly devil Le Corbusier.
This one is just… beyond. Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Rafael Vinoly Architects (2001).
More theaters from Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Mecanoo Architecten, REX, and Bing Thom Architects here.
One of our top picks for theaters and concert halls, this one is by emerging firm 5468796 Architecture in Winnipeg, Canada.
Check it out when it’s all lit up:
One more from our Top Ten: Libraries roundup. This one is by the firm Projektil architekti, which actually garnered two spots on our list!
Certainly not your quotidian municipal library here. Public Library Kelsterbach by Bernd Mueller (Germany, 2003). More libraries here!
This library is kind of a hot mess, in a perfectly acceptable way. Bright colors encourage learning and the figures drawn in concrete seem like totemic versions of alphabet letters.
Snowmageddon. Snowpocalypse. Snowtorious B.I.G. The giant frozen-water filled terror that blanketed most of the country this week goes by many names. Here are ten public shelters that are, probably, much nicer than the one you waited for the bus under while being pelted by icy particulates yesterday. Enjoy.
Clocking in at #2, House on Mountainside Overlooked by a Castle (Spain) by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos.
This one is bonkers. House Holman (Australia) by Durbach Block Jaggers Architects, in at #6.
