Architecture is a living, dynamic and intelligent force that embraces the past, present and future all at once. anupamakundoo.com
Our architecture is the result of building knowledge and building processes. It responds to a diversity of concerns through integrated design thinking, and has the potential to create health, happiness, and well-being through shaping the built environment and steering the way forward for an evolving human society.

For architects and interior designers, creating an impression that is as identical as possible to the final product is an essential element of their professions.

Most clients desire to see their buildings or interior spaces transformed into the ideal concept they had visualised. The architects are tasked with the unenviable responsibility of making this happen.
Not so long ago, building plans used to be done and presented entirely on paper, consuming a lot of resources, time and labour.
However, an architectural job that could typically have taken up to three months in the past can now take two weeks.
Experts say that the increasing adoption of 3D imaging and architectural animation has resulted in more accurate representations, convenience and saves clients time and money in construction projects.
According to Waweru Njuguna, an architect and interior designer at Synergy Arc, an architectural firm in Nairobi, use of digital imaging in architecture boosts accuracy and speed in design.
“It’s now become much easier to show the client exactly what you want to build and the projected outcome using 3D models and animation,” says the architect. “In addition to this, changes and manipulation could easily be factored in as the project progresses eliminating the hassle of having to redo entire plans.”
Adds Njuguna: “If, for example, you are changing the flooring from wood to carpet, you can easily go back to your project design on the computer, make the changes and have the new layout reflect on the final design.”
This according to Njuguna, has made consultation between the design team and the clients easier and as such, proposals are developed much faster.
¿Cuál es el fin de la arquitectura? Conforme el diseño y la construcción avanzan, son más los arquitectos que intentan desmarcarse de las clásicas ideas de urbanismo o edificación. Si hasta hace unos años lo importante era que un edificio o una vivienda llamara la atención y se hablara de ella ahora el minimalismo se impone a la ostentación.
Éste es el caso del arquitecto Peter Gluck que ha conseguido que su proyecto situado junto al lago George, en las montañas de Adirondack, en Nueva York, se camufle con el medio que lo rodea. En esta particular vivienda, de alrededor de 6.600 metros cuadrados hay espacio para vivir, para pernoctar y para disfrutar de los momentos de ocio. Porque esta atípica casa del lago cuenta, además de con un gran espacio verde exterior, de varias terrazas y patios así como una piscina.
En este proyecto, del que se ha hecho eco Architectural Record , Peter Gluck ha dividido la construcción en dos partes. Por un lado, está la oficina, en la parte superior de la construcción y, ‘bajo tierra’, la vivienda en sí y una zona para los momentos de relax que cuenta, además de con una larga piscina, con un anfiteatro, un gimnasio y una sauna. Además, la vivienda cuenta con casa de invitados y largos caminos donde perderse entre los árboles del parque de Adirondack (Nueva York).

Some minimalist architects boast that given enough money, they can make their architecture almost disappear. Although that claim seems to go against normal expectations about what so many architects really like to do, it often tempts those faced with a large program and a sensitive site.

An international, multidisciplinary team of researchers visits the zones where the myths of the near future are manufactured.
The Visiting School Program at the Architectural Association under the direction of the talented and charismatic Liam Young and Kate Davies invited creative director and experience designer Nelly Ben Hayoun to join a multidisciplinary group of international research students, architects, artists, and writers on a trip to extraordinary landscape and industrial sites. Dubbed the Unknown Fields Division, they pack their Geiger counters and spacesuits to chart a course from the atomic to the cosmic, investigating the unknown fields between the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in the Ukraine and Gagarin’s launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They will skirt the retreating tide of the Aral Sea and mine the ‘black gold’ in the Caspian oilfields and caviar factories. In these shifting fields of nature and artifice they aim to re-examine preservationist and conservationist attitudes toward the natural world and document a cross-section through a haunting landscape of the ecologically fragile and the technologically obsolete. Ben Hayoun delivers these excursionary dispatches from the zones where the myths of the near future are manufactured.
Nelly Ben Hayoun has been invited to join forces in a road trip from Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, through the Ukraine and the oil fields of Azerbaijan to rocket launch pad of Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrone. A Project initiated by Liam Young and Kate Davies the AA( Architectural Association). more on the project at www.unknownfieldsdivision.com

Este importante evento internacional se realizará este año en España.
He contactado con los organizadores respecto a la posibilidad de registrarme como bloguero y cubrir contenidos en español (es lógico que siendo en España se publique material independiente en nuestra lengua común) sin que por ello haya problemas de derechos de autor (copyright) más aún en el caso que este Blog se inscribe dentro de las iniciativas copy-left.
No se si podré asistir, dado que estoy en paro, pero de contar con recursos o ayudas, así lo haré… si la justicia funcionara en España para esa fecha ya debería estar adscrito en alguna escuela de Arquitectura convalidando mis títulos obtenidos en el extranjero y avanzando, nuevamente, con mi Doctorado 😉

Construction is nearly complete on Centre Pompidou-Metz, an incredible new extension of the original Centre Pompidou modern art museum in Paris. Designed by architects Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines, the elegantly sloping structure takes inspiration from the technical properties of Chinese hats and bridges. The building is topped with a curvaceous roof that does a remarkable job of shielding it from the elements while opening up an expansive volume of space dedicated to the arts.
Centre Pompidou, Metz (CPM), France. El primer Centro Pompidou de Francia fuera de París abrirá en la ciudad de Metz, Francia oriental, en el 2008. El nuevo centro fue diseñado por Shigeru Ban Architects (SBA) (Tokio) en asociación con Jean de Gastines (París) y Gumuchdjian Arquitectos (Londres). El centro de 35 millones de euros, con una superficie de suelo total de unos 12,500 m² ofreciendo 6,000 m² de espacio para exposiciones, va a alojar muestras permanentes y temporales y se espera abrirse el acceso para la gente desde más allá de Europa al alcance y la calidad de las colecciones de d’Art Musée Nacional Moderne, almacenadas en el Centro de Pompidou en París. Los arquitectos describen el proyecto como ‘un nuevo tipo de institución pública que puede cultivar y transformarse según el clima o la ocasión’.

Valladolid acoge una muestra sobre la escuela arquitectónica Archigram
LAURA CANTALAPIEDRA – Valladolid
En las últimas décadas, la alta arquitectura ha descendido para jugar un papel trascendente en la vida pública. Aeropuertos, puentes, bodegas, edificios emblemáticos, viviendas sostenibles, han salido de los estudios de las estrellas del circuito actual, que en su época de mayor esplendor, crearon en Londres el grupo Archigram. Gente como Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Ron Herron, Dennis Crompton, Michael Webb y David Greene, fueron los artífices de este movimiento, que enhebraba las palabras ARCHItecture y TeleGRAM y proponía una arquitectura profundamente tecnológica, realizada con nuevos materiales industriales, e indicativa de un modo de vida despreocupado y utópico. Más de cuarenta años después se presenta en Valladolid una retrospectiva de este colectivo. Un resumen de la historia de este importante movimiento a través de dibujos, maquetas, documentos y planos.
Archigram era al principio futurista, antiheróico y pro-consumista, y se inspiraba en la tecnología para crear una realidad con proyectos hipotéticos. Experimentaba con medios desechables, cápsulas espaciales e imaginería del consumo masivo. Sus obras ofrecían visiones seductoras de un glamouroso futuro de maquinas. Los temas sociales y ambientales quedaron olvidados. El movimiento bebía de las ideas del arquitecto italiano Antonio Sant’Elia, que imaginó un Milán futurista en su Città Nuova, y cuyas líneas, mezcladas con los conceptos de Archigram, fueron inspiración para el Pompidou, de Renzo Piano y Richard Rogers.
Una de las más famosas utopías del grupo fue la Plug-in City de 1964. La megaestructura de una ciudad dentro de la que idearon una universidad que crecería con el tiempo y cuyas aulas se instalarían o desmontarían según necesidades puntuales. Así, a medida que la gente tuviera más oportunidad de comunicarse a través de los ordenadores, el espacio sería el silo de almacenamiento de la información.
