Loblolly House Loblolly House This was the most exceptional project submitted for the BIM Awards this year, judging by the fact that it won the BIM Award citations for both of the categories in which it was submitted: Creating Stellar Architecture Using BIM, which recognizes outstanding quality of architectural design achieved through the use of BIM; and Outstanding Design for Fabrication Using BIM, which look.. 더보기
Loblolly House: In Stock and Ready to Ship Of all the names to give a house, only an architect would settle on the knotty word loblolly. Never mind that the house’s spectacular site spills onto the wide-open Chesapeake Bay, with a rough cyclopean wall of coastal riprap keeping the water averted; the architects were instead inspired by the pine trees blanketing the grounds, which have the fortune of possessing an unforgettably boisterous .. 더보기
Loblolly House PREFAB FRIDAY: Loblolly Houseby Emily Pilloton We first got excited about Kieran Timberlake Associates’ Loblolly House over a year ago, when it was still just the promising conceptual brainchild of the Philadelphia-based firm. The Loblolly House has since been completed (AND featured in the January 2007 issue of Wired as one of seven “green and high-tech” projects), and demonstrates a truly uniq.. 더보기
디지탈 워터 파빌리온 <Digital Water Pavilion> MIT 건축가들이 ‘디지털 워터 전시관(Digital Water Pavilion)'을 개발했다. 이 전시관에는 벽도 없고, 문도 없다. 대신 흐르는 물이 벽을 만들고, 문을 만들 뿐이다. 떨어지는 물방울들을 컨트롤하는 센서가 장착돼 있어 사람들이 이 곳에 들어가려고 접근하면, 일시적으로 물을 멈추고 출입구를 만들어준다. 또한 건물의 외벽을 감싸는 물 커튼에는 대규모 잉크젯 프린터기로 새긴 듯 텍스트, 편지, 패턴, 영상 등을 투사할 수 있다. 위아래로 움직일 수 있는 커다란 피스톤이 전시관 지붕을 떠받친다. 피스톤 높이에 따라 지붕 높이 조절이 가능해, 바람의 영향을 많이 받는 날에는 천장이 낮은 편이다. 전시관 문을 닫을 때는 전체 지붕을 땅에 내리면 된다. 마법을 부린 듯 건물을 공중에 띄우고, 순식.. 더보기

Acting like a living skin, it allows a building to express, communicate and interact with its environment. FLARE turns the building facade into a penetrable kinetic membrane, breaking with all c.. 더보기
DESIGN WINE To the relief of many, a visit to a winery no longer has to resemble an agricultural outing with the mandatory trudging along dirt paths and in dark cellars listening to winegrowers go on and on about the terroir of their cru. Wineries – and not just in the newer wine-producing regions – are starting to wake up to today’s design sensibilities. With winery buildings now often designed by famous a.. 더보기
Box, Cube or Square Fixated as we are with creative ideas, we really like it when we see something nearly impossible turn out to be possible. At the moment we are intrigued by small, compact, boxy buildings. Dwellings, mini houses, pop-up buildings that are clever and functional, yet chic and fun. A home inside a box, a cafe in shipping container. Or maybe an office, shop or yoga studio in some new, fascinating cub.. 더보기
In The Box Looking for somewhere to hold your next meeting? We think we have come across two fine options that are certain to liven up any dull encounter with the suits. Who needs a board room, when you could have a Cratehouse. If you think this merely looks like a bunch of yellow crates sitting on two shipping containers, then you are correct, however this is fast becoming the town of Castleford in West Y.. 더보기
The Friendly Garage For many of us, taking our cars to the garage can be a daunting experience. Feeling anxious and uncertain over the price and duration over jobs, use of technical jargon and the like. This may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the launch of the major rebranding programme for car care network HiQ, starting with their new concept center opening in Nottingham, UK. The aim was to revolutionize t.. 더보기
