Plano B Arquitectura

PLANO B = The expression ‘plan b’ refers to some alternative way to solve a problem... Considering our pessimistic view on life, we assume there is always a misfortune ahead, so it seems appropriate to seriously consider a 'plan b'.
Our focus has been the use of natural materials and processes in conjunction with industrial ones.

THE HOUSE “CASA EM ARRUDA DOS VINHOS” is the reconstruction of a previous one - the same size and standing in the same location. The materials used where, in part, also the same: wood, earth and stone. To these we’ve added concrete for the foundations, asphalt for parking, and polycarbonate on the facade.

Part of the construction was provided by volunteer work: the owner, the architects, some friends, and whoever would show up. The entire construction process is available at: http://planob-arruda.blogspot.com/

many thanks to Eduardo at Plano B Arquitectura

Säynätsalo Town Hall - Alvar Aalto

On the north, south and east sides of the building there is a series of vertical grooves that look like decoration, but are not. The colour of the walls of the unheated attic varies with the humidity and in wintertime, the grooving prevents a frost line from forming.

another quality eye candy bonus...

Project Title: 12 Cassels
Architects: Reigo & Bauer - Toronto, Canada
Photography Credits: Tom Arban ( http://www.tomarban.com/ )

This exquisite house was completed October 2006... Located in Toronto Ontario, it was designed and built to sell on the Canadian M.L.S.
As both designer and developer of this project, Reigo & Bauer believe architecturally designed houses should be available to the average homebuyer.








Amidst the booming real estate market in Toronto, finding a modern 'house' counterpart to the modern condos being built all over the city is a challenge. The objective was to offer Toronto homebuyers a newly constructed house with a contemporary design at a competitive price. While this house is comparable to a standard condo in size and cost, it differs in that it has a front yard and back yard, three finished floors of living space and natural light from the front, back and roof. The property was offered at $419,900 CAD and sold for 414,000 CAD in October 2006.

The design for this small two-bedroom house fits into the neighbourhood while still being contemporary. With an exciting and approachable design the house relates to the tightly packed cottages with peaked roofs without replicating them. The roof is symmetrically pitched at the front and sloped to one side at the back, which gives each of the rooms upstairs a different spatial quality. Although the form of the roof is complex, it has been built using standard wood frame assembly, adding architectural intrigue without adding to the cost of construction. Because this house was built on spec, keeping the costs down was a primary focus. In order to afford features like the glazed walls, hydronic in-floor heating, and a heat recovery ventilation system, standard finishes and typical installation methods were favoured over costly finishes and complicated detailing.

In contrast to the solid walls on both sides of the house, the front and back faces are entirely glass. The glass was rendered opaque only where necessary to conceal structural panels, in order to maximize natural light and give the modest interior spaces the impression of being larger than they are. In order to use all three floors as proper living space, a portion of the front yard was excavated to create a two level planted light-well which fills the front room on the lower level with natural light.Visitors to the house have confirmed our belief that many people don't necessarily want what is currently offered on the real estate market, but don't know how to get anything else. With this house accessible to anybody and everybody (a real estate agent providing the tour) the general public has gained a better sense of what can be done on a modest budget when a creative designer is engaged.

GINKO by Arq. Tiago Rosado

another quality eye candy bonus...

'Ginkgo' is a bar that recently opened in Portimão, Portugal. The name 'Ginkgo', named after a species of trees that has existed for over 30 million years, is a reminder of the longevity of good 'design'. This beautiful project is one of the first from a talented young architect by the name of Tiago Rosado.

This project was initially supposed to be much smaller: a poolside bar for a hotel. However the only available space for the building was a strip of land between the street and a tennis court... it was later decided to make it 'public'. The client requested something different, visually 'clean', and comfortable.
The decision to have the esplanade framed by a large 'window' gives a sensation of protection from the inside, while offering the project a much larger appearance. The concrete wall is part of the structural system (prefabricated concrete) and was left 'as it is' when the contrast that this 'raw' material gave to the 'clean' space was discovered. The central green wall balances the composition and gives a fresh environment to the space.

Many thanks to Arq. Tiago Rosado for the images...
The photographs are taken by one of the best photographers
in the field of architecture photography, Arq. Fernando Guerra.

PLASWIJCKPARK ROTTERDAMA new entrance and a new identity Plaswijck Park, a recreational and historical nature park with an educational character, has been transformed by Drost + van Veen in an operation that involved moving the entrance to the other side of the park. A total of five new structures have been made: a pedestrian bridge over the road, an entrance gate, a ticket booth, an office building containing a shop selling sweets and souvenirs and a restaurant.In the words of the designers, these structures form a visual family because the same materials and construction have been used throughout. There is also a marked affinity in the expressionist organic forms of the five structures. The most striking material is the thatch used to roof three of the structures. The traditional reed thatch rests on a contemporary steel construction. This, together with the bright colours, serves to offset the suggestion of rusticity, reminding visitors that the park is nature in the city, not wilderness. The old-fashioned lettering on the ticket booth is wholly in keeping with a park that offers such uncomplicated, old-fashioned amusements as swan-shaped pedal boats.Project: Entrance buildings and bridge for PlaswijckparkCity: RotterdamArea: 700 m2 Client: stichting PlaswijckparkRealisation: 1999

....the modern art of camouflage?

The frontispiece to Laugier's Essay of 1753 - which urged contemporary architects
to keep in mind the primitive origins of architecture in the little rustic hut.
______________________________________________________

Have these contemporary architects taken Laugier's word to heart?
Would he have found these "modern huts" acceptable (to him today)?
...or is this more a modern art of camouflage?

Schools of Architecture - Design/Build 2

for this second installment of Schools of Architecture - Design/Build
we are completely indebted to eye candy subscribers - thank you!

http://www.forest.ac.jp/english/index.html The Gifu Academy of
Forest Science and Culture is a higher education institution situated
in the Gifu Prefecture, of central Japan. The Gifu Prefecture has
abundant natural forest resources and a history of wood working,
wooden architecture and forestry traditions. The objective of the
Academy is to produce graduates who can develop innovative and
sustainable ways for communities and individuals to use forest and
wood resources. This, it is hoped, will contribute to addressing the
challenges faced by modern society's reliance on the mass-consumption
of non-sustainable resources.

http://www.clemson.edu/caah/architecture/3.4.6.icff.php The work
at the Clemson School of Architecture represents a broad and
comprehensive examination of material, tectonic, formal, and social
investigations in various contexts, scales and media. Explorations in
making at the School of Architecture range from full-scale design-build
opportunities like Studio South and AREA... http://www.clemson.edu/caah/architecture/3.4.6.area.php . Clemson
University's School of Architecture was selected to present work at the
International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City May 14-17.

http://www.arch.uh.edu/port/dBuild.html Robert Lindsey and Paul
Lodholz created the UH Graduate Design/Build Studio in 1990 to offer
graduate students hands on experience with building construction. In
the early years, the first few projects focused on traditional timber
construction; including a playground, a heavy timber storage barn, and
a bandstand. As the program evolved, the projects commissioned
became more comprehensive and complex. In recent years the
Design/Build Studio has collaborated with various public elementary
schools to enhance their programs by building outdoor classrooms.
Each project is designed with attention to the surrounding environment
with the intent of taking full advantage of the available natural resources.

http://www.arch.virginia.edu/theschool/addition/designbuild/ In 1999,
the Dean of the University of Virginia's School of Architecture chaired a
team that produced a feasibility study for creating additions to
Campbell Hall designed by several members of the School’s faculty.
Since that time, several distinct projects have been developed by
faculty members in collaboration with students, colleagues, and the
architect of record, SMBW Architects.

http://capd.ksu.edu/arch/ I'm not certain if Kansas State University
still has a design build program or if this was a one off to create the
space they needed. http://softfirmstudios.net/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=1492

http://tulaneurbanbuild.com/build/build1.html Studio participants
working at the immediate scale of the single family dwelling will
propose options for multiple sites amidst the identified target zone.
As qualities of the individual proposals are compared, prototypical
opportunities will be identified. One single family housing site will
eventually be identified for construction, and a single prototype will
be developed as a result of the group research. That proposal will be
documented in preparation for permitting and construction. Ground
breaking will occur upon the completion of development, and construction
will occur through the summer.

http://www2.parsons.edu/architecture/aidl/designworkshop.html
http://www.parsonsdesignworkshop.org/ In January 2006, The
Design Workshop at Parsons The New School for Design was
approached by SHoP Architects to join a rebuilding effort in
DeLisle, Mississippi. Spearheaded by local resident and client
Martha Murphy, the project began with her vision to create a place
that could meet both the physical and emotional needs of a community
devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The team was asked to design a
facility that functions as both a laundromat and information center.
The simple task of washing one’s clothes would provide immediate
relief while exposing community members to critical information
necessary in the complicated process of recovery.

Schools of Architecture - Design/Build

one of six images from today's (13 October 2006) eye candy...

I'm sure there are a lot more Architecture Schools who have a
Design Build programs than those listed below - if you know of
any let me know...

http://www.architecture.yale.edu/BP06/index.html Since 1967,
the Yale School of Architecture has offered its first-year students
the chance to design and build a structure as part of their graduate
education. Unique among architecture schools, this program is
mandatory for all members of the class. Undertaken in cooperation
with Neighborhood Housing Services, a local nonprofit agency, the
Building Project results in a single-family house in a low-income
neighborhood in New Haven.

http://www.studio804.com/ Studio 804 is a design/build program
at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Design
that provides a broad range of architectural services, typically
resulting in a new residence. This studio is the final experience for
3rd year graduate students seeking a professional masters degree,
although on occasion it does include graduating bachelors of
Architecture students. During this final exercise, the students
collaborate to bring a housing design to fruition that provides
architectural solutions with an emphasis on affordable homes.

http://www.ruralstudio.com/ The Rural Studio at Auburn
University's College of Architecture, Design and Construction was
founded in 1992 by architect and professor Sam Mockbee, with the
aim of extending the study of architecture into a socially responsible
context. Every quarter, groups of students elect to live and work off
campus in the impoverished "Black Belt' of western Alabama (so
called because of its fertile soil). The mission of the Rural Studio is to
enable each participating student to cross the threshold of
misconceived opinions to create/design/build and to allow students
to put their educational values to work as citizens of a community.
The Rural Studio seeks solutions to the needs of the community within
the community’s own context, not from outside it. Abstract ideas
based upon knowledge and study are transformed into workable
solutions forged by real human contact, personal realization, and a
gained appreciation for the culture.

http://www.designbuildtexas.com/index.html
DESIGN > BUILD > TEXAS offers students a unique educational
opportunity to conceive and test their ideas in real time and space.
Research into both established and emerging construction
technologies is a focus of the class. The studio is actively engaged
with a number of specialists, including landscape architects, native
plant experts, structural engineers, sanitary engineers, materials
consultants, historians, and restoration ecologists.

http://www.yestermorrow.org/
The Yestermorrow Design/Build School is a dynamic learning
community exploring and teaching the integrated creative process
of designing and building a sustainable future.

http://www.mlsarchitects.ca/building/academic/ghost.htm
Ghost Lab provides a two-week summer design/build internship for
architects, professors and students, directed by Brian MacKay-Lyons,
Architect. The program takes place each summer on the coast of
Nova Scotia, atop the stone ruins of a nearly 400 year old village on the
MacKay-Lyons farm. The projects consist of a one-week design phase
and a one-week construction phase.

one of five images from Wednesday's (13 September 06) bonus candy...

I know it sounds surprising to all of us in the U.S. -- but the National Geographic Channel will be airing a documentary next Monday called "Scrap House."
It tells the story of how a team of architects, builders, structural engineers and scrap artists came together last year to build a house entirely out of garbage. Not the usual green materials everyone is talking about, something greener than that -- real and true garbage plucked straight from the waste stream. (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/09/13/HOG4RL21171.DTL)

So mark your calendars... 9PM (CST) - Monday, September 18th on the National Geographic Channel.

Here's a partial list of materials they used:
Street Sign Siding; Tiled Leather Floor; Phonebook Wall; Solid Core Door Floor; Fire Hose Walls; Traffic Light Chandelier; Conveyor Belt Floors & Walls; Billboard Fence & Roof...
