C.F. Møller Architects, 2016
In conjunction with the Port of Aarhus' new port centre, designed by C.F. Møller, one of the tenants - the Samskip shipping company - required a new and larger warehouse. The warehouse has been created with references to other C.F. Møller warehouses at the Port of Aarhus.
The project is the first stage of constructing a new type of warehouse in the port, created to facilitate future expansion, and with reference to the Port's other warehouse buildings. The building is based on a rational steel construction, with a highly flexible structure comprising two variable frames. While one frame is constant, the other is determined by receiving goods requirements and the building's welfare and office unit. With its used of sinusoidal aluminium profiled panels, translucent polycarbonate, black-white fibre cement boards and various galvanised items, the materials are in harmony with the Port of Aarhus' new port centre. The warehouse also has orange gates, as a reference to other C.F. Møller warehouses at the Port of Aarhus.
The warehouse type has special focus on a safe and pleasant working environment, with ample daylight conditions and welfare facilities.

architect: james stirling, 1926-1992.
one of the solid "bookends" that allow this glass house to be read as a brick building - following the discussion here. the bookends grow from the largely brick plinth - even if there is very little brickwork in the upper floors, the composition is still very considered and complete.
the stirling set so far.
Architect: Willem Marinus Dudok (1884-1974)
Rijksmonument 515086
Witte Singel 1, Leiden.
[NL] Het Leidsch Dagbladgebouw is in 1916 ontworpen in opdracht van uitgever Henri Sijthoff. Dudok werkte bij dit ontwerp nauw samen met zijn collega en goede vriend J.J.P. Oud. Het gebouw had oorspronkelijk de functie van kantoor. Sinds 2000 huizen het Kantongerecht en de Reclassering in het pand.
Toen Dudok de opdracht voor het ontwerp kreeg was hij adjunct-directeur van de afdeling Gemeentewerken in Leiden. Dudok experimenteerde graag en daardoor is het Leidsch Dagbladgebouw moeilijk in een stijlhokje te plaatsen, hoewel velen vinden dat de gevels door hun rijke detaillering doen denken aan de Amsterdamse School.
Dudok bedacht een slimme oplossing om met de bijzondere driehoeksvorm van het terrein om te gaan. Hij ontwierp parallel aan het Rijn en Schiekanaal een rechthoekig volume van twee verdiepingen met een grote puntige kap en een vooruitstekende arm. Daardoor staat het gebouw schuin ten opzichte van de Witte Singel. De overgebleven ruimte aan die kant vulde hij op met een driehoekig trappenhuis en een dito entreepleintje. Zo paste het toch goed bij de rooilijn van de singel.
Het kantoor had een duidelijke publieksfunctie. Zo waren er een tentoonstellingszaal en een ‘tijdingszaal’, waar men het laatste nieuws kon lezen en advertenties kon opgeven. Aan de decoraties is nog altijd heel goed te zien om wat voor gebouw het ging. Aan de buitenkant hangen twee terracotta koppen die de sprekende en de schrijvende mens verbeelden. Binnenin worden de belangrijkste functies van de krant door personificaties in glas in lood getoond: een vrouw met haar hand aan de mond (het nieuws), een kraaiende haan (advertenties) en een vrouw met een opgeheven vinger (de kritiek).

________________________________________________
[EN] Gebouw Leidsch Dagblad, or “Leiden Newspaper Building,” is much more complex than its bare-bones name suggests. Once the headquarters of the Dutch province’s biggest daily, the structure pops with surprises—including one of the world’s more interesting drainpipes.
Completed in 1916, Leidsch Dagblad was the joint effort of two soon-to-be famous architects. Designer Willem Dudok, best known for the Hilversum Town Hall and some super-creative gas stations, took it as his first commission, while J.J.P. Oud, a noted follower of the rigorously minimalist De Stijl movement, oversaw its construction. Together, they put together a huge brick structure that musters geometrical precision, Rococo-style lettering, and stark color contrasts for an overall impressive effect.
It’s also covered in whimsical flourishes, based off of what went on inside. There’s a Daily Planet-esque globe crowning one of the towers, and a statue of a scribbling figure lingers near the entrance. Roosters (which, like reporters, wake up with the sun) ornament the sides, while tall stained glass windows feature icons “representing news, advertisement, and criticism.“
Sneak around back, though, and you’ll find something slightly more improbable — a drainpipe shaped like an elephant. Water that lands in its head flows all the way to the ground through its multi-story trunk. Its relationship to the news is anyone’s guess, but it’s certainly newsworthy on its own.
The building no longer belongs to Leidsch Dagblad—the newspaper has downsized to a smaller office, and a district court now occupies the space. But its status as a registered and protected national monument ensures that the elephant drainpipe will survive the death of print media, the extinction crisis, and other such passing troubles. Dudok’s blocky pachyderm proves that in the hands of the right architect, even a boring piece of infrastructure can be made unforgettable, and invincible.

Using their technology of transfering one's mind into new body, the alien race of Architects created menacing battlesuits in order to oppose advancing interstellar army of aggressive invaders.

This MOC was too fragile - mostly because of used connections - and I was unable to finish it, as I accidentally broke it and had to disassemble the whole model. Nevertheless, I liked even the unfinished battlesuit and decided to upload it here.

This image is, actually, an attempt to create scheme which is to explain battlesuit's features.
Obituary of another 60s Housing Scheme.
Kidbrooke Housing Scheme (later known as Ferrier Estate).
Architects: GLC Architects Department, 1967-72.
It saddens me to write the first chapter of this mostly visual obituary of a failed scheme now facing demolition. I feel honour bound to say some words to defend some very hardworking architects, with whom I had the honour to work with as a young student. These people, most of them no longer with us, were hard working, sincere and conscientious and gave their best to a scheme they seriously believed would house generations of happy and satisfied residents.
The subject of disastrous housing schemes of this period has been endlessly discussed and dissected by some very able writers and critics and I don’t feel this is right place to repeat various views which are already well known.
However, I would like to address a few words to Flickr viewers who often write vitriolic comments about this and similar estates, when they see some sad and depressing photographs of these decaying estates facing demolition and immediately start attacking ‘Planners and Architects’ for committing these atrocities against the human race.
Again, this is an understandable first reaction and with the benefit of the hindsight it is easy to say and admit that some very serious mistakes were made in the housing development of this period.
If you were living in the middle of ‘Jerusalem’ when it was being built and the new, spacious houses were being occupied by happy people delighted by these new estates, you would have found it difficult to believe that in not so distant a future such a sad outcome could have been remotely possible.
All I would like to say here is that there are a huge number of factors which influenced the outcome of these large housing schemes, a very dubious concept in its own right. The factors like political and social environment at the time of inception and occupation, financial controls with ‘sticks’ and ‘carrots’, the importance of choosing the appropriate residents, day to day management and maintenance, sufficient finances for maintaining and if necessary, eliminating the ‘failure’ as they become apparent and encouraging residents to actively take over the management of their own environments, were hardly understood by most of the bureaucracies involved in the whole process.
The examples exist of identical or near identical schemes where one has turned out to be a winner in most respects and the ‘identical twin’ had to be demolished because it was considered to be a complete failure and intensely hated by the occupants.
It would be nice to think that some understanding of these issues is available and grasped before ‘off the cuff’ insults are scattered at only one or two parties concerned.
The photographs I have shown above were taken during construction and early occupation period. The current state of this scheme is well illustrated by Flickr member ‘Waterford Man’. Please see his set on the following link for the current situation;

One of San Diego's most underrated buildings, in my opinion. This very miesian structure is the epitome of that classic international modernist style, with a screen covering a block of offices that appear to float above the street-level storefronts.
This is a design I copied - quite blatantly - from an Argentinian builder, frogstudio, after he presented his house in a thread on Eurobricks almost three years ago.
According to the designer, the original wasn't modular, so I thought that would be a good place to start when modifying it.
Written by Tom Alphin and published by no starch press, 2015.
This just arrived in the mail today, with an unexpected engraved brick as a bonus!
I had the pleasure of hanging out with Tom earlier in the year along with the opportunity to contribute an image to his absolutely wonderful book. It's beautifully designed and thoroughly researched, with fantastic real world and LEGO examples of various architectural styles, plus diagrams that really get at the essence of each. I can't recommend it highly enough, and I promise I don't get any cut of the profits to say so.
As soon as I saw a photo of the Bella Sky Hotel I knew there would be some good shots looking up between the two towers but this one's come out better than I expected due to the reflections. It's probably one of my favourite shots from the trip.

Byron Bay. Population 9,300.
Captain James Cook sighted and named Cape Byron in May 1770 as he sailed past it. A couple of days later he named Mount Warning as the coast has dangerous rocks there for sailing ships. Cape Byron is the most easterly point of Australia. The Colonial Architect James Barnet designed the lighthouse in the 1870s but it was not proceeded with until 1899 when another architect designed a lighthouse for the cape. It was completed in 1901 at a cost of over £18,000 which would equate to millions of dollars these days. The lens with 760 pieces of prismatic glass reflected the light into the ocean from a six wick light. This was updated in 1922 and again in 1956 when the light was electrified. The lighthouse was fully automated in 1989 and the last lighthouse keeper left at that time. The white light can be seen 50 kms out to sea. In 1954 a new whaling station was built at Byron Bay to capture and process humpback whales. The whale oil was first used in the Australian margarine industry and the flesh was sold for livestock fodder. A quota of around 120 whales a year was set for the factory. The whaling station closed in 1962 and over those eight years 1,146 whales were slaughtered. Australia ceased all whaling in 1978. The old lighthouse keeper’s house built in 1899 is now a small museum. For those with time to spend you might see humpback whales on their annual migration northwards from Cape Byron, between June and November.
Although red cedar cutters went into the hinterland in the 1840s and 1850s permanent settlers as such did not begin to arrive until around 1870. The first white land purchaser arrived in 1881 and the town was not surveyed until 1883. Town land sales began in 1886 when the first postal service began, several stores and a hotel opened and the government began work on a jetty which was completed in 1888. The first official Post Office opened in 1888. The town grew and by 1890 the surrounding farmers were growing bananas, pineapples, corn and potatoes. They grazed cattle and soon had dairy herds. The railway from Casino reached its terminus here in 1894. In 1895 Norco opened a factory and cold storage facility to handle dairy and meat products. By 1925 Norco had the largest butter factory in Australia at Byron Bay. Sadly it closed in 1975 after Britain joined the European Common Market and vegetable oil based margarines entered the Australian market place in competition with butter. What you see in Byron Bay today is largely an early 20th century town. Although the railway from Casino closed decades ago the old tracks have been turned into a tourist railway. Fares are $8 for a return trip to north beach and they run hourly from 10:15 am using NSW carriages built from 1949 to 1970. A round trip with a 35 minute stop at North Beach takes just under an hour.
In the 1970s when Nimbin became popular with down-at-heal hippies Byron Bay went in a different direction and became popular with the wealthy escaping city life but still with people with an interest in the “alternate lifestyle”. Some celebrities including Paul Hogan, Elle MacPherson, Johnny Young and Olivia Newton-John have purchased properties here. Other artistic and literary people moved here too including Craig McGregor author of several novels and many social critiques of Australian society. The annual Blues and Roots Festival is the major music event of the northern rivers each year. The residents and politically green dominated Byron Shire Council has prevented Club Med from establishing here as well as McDonalds and other drive in take away food outlets. Buildings are limited to three storeys as the locals do not want any crass Gold Coast style development!
