A Passivhaus cabin in New York proves that energy efficient buildings can harbour amazingly uplifting spaces inside... The power of good design!

This is the next design I’ll be painting, “Wandering (Spring)” - continuing the Wandering seasonal series. I followed the same set of rules when generating the pattern as I did in the autumn design, but with some fresh spring-like colours. There are four paths of curves, one starting from each corner. Random number generation decides which adjacent square they travel to next. This continues until the path reaches a corner or one of the two sides opposite the starting corner. Time to get the paintbrushes out again!

Your rainbow panorama, 2006-2011

ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark

https://vimeo.com/123824799

In 2007 Eliasson and his studio won an invited architectural competition with a proposal to transform the rooftop of ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, in Denmark, which was built by schmidt hammer lassen architects. Installed in 2011, Your rainbow panorama offers visitors sweeping views of the city, the sky, and the distant horizon. The elevated 360-degree walkway Your rainbow panorama is 150 metres around and glazed with rainbow-coloured glass. Visible from afar, the work divides Aarhus into various colour zones and acts as a beacon for people moving about the city – an effect that is heightened at night when lights running the circumference of the walkway illuminate it from within.

Brick Origami

LSE Saw Hock Student Centre / O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects, 2013

The faceted facade of the building is composed of both solid and perforated brick areas and glazed screens.The perforated planes are constructed from a single leaf of brickwork with spaces in the flemish bond pattern to allow light to both infiltrate the interior spaces and filtrate out at night to create a pattern effect.

46 standard and 100 non-standard brick specials were used for the project.

Walter Maria Förderer: St. Nicolas, 1962 – 1971

Concrete is particularly suited for designs of plastic, sculptural nature. This brutalist architect’s designs are full of abstract shapes and openings that form mysterious caverns. What is all of this trying to express though?

“The elevations have a vertical gothic character, at the same time monolithic and delicate, referring to the Wesserenaisance of the Bremen Rathaus and the Stadtwaage, and generally to a Hanseatic tradition of quality and reserve. Within the vertical grain of the external wall, expressive brick doorways mark the entrances to the head office and to the bank branch. “

barrier-free bathing

https://www.ribaj.com/products/spiral-ramp-bath

“The accessible spiral ramp bath was built into the concrete foundations of the building by excavating a square hole in the plan. This was then waterproofed and a spiral shape built up using blockwork inside. Styrofoam was added for insulation, as well as another layer of waterproofing before the entire form was skimmed in 30mm of concrete, finished with a rough surface on the ramp and smooth on the bath’s bottom. Finally the surface was impregnated with an invisible sealant to make it watertight.”
