*️⃣1111 Lincoln Road

Architect #HdM #HerzogdeMeuron #Herzog #Meuron
City #Miami
Country #USA #NA

🔤The mixed use development called 1111 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach comprises four different parcels. An existing building, a mixed use structure for parking, retail and a private residence.

To create another standard parking structure on a retail base, with a facade that hides the ugliness of what is being stored inside, and a recessed penthouse on top would not have answered the urban requirements of this place.

A retail unit and a private residence are located on the upper levels, and the structure can be used for parties, photo or film shoots, fashion shows, concerts or other social or commercial activities, offering amazing views as the backdrop for the stage.

"The structure is the architecture. The car park is an organism made up of a family of #rawconcrete slabs, deployed as floor plates, columns and ramps"- Herzog de Meuron

*️⃣Class of 1945 Library

Architect #Kahn #LouisKahn
City #Exeter close to #Boston
Country #USA #NA

🔤Louis I. Kahn was commissioned by the Phillips Exeter Academy to design a library for the school. The Academy had been planning the new library for fifteen years but were consistently disappointed with the designs that the hired architects and committee were proposing. The Academy wanted a brick exterior to match the Georgian buildings of the school and an interior with the ideal environment for study.

The beauty in the architecture of the first floor, however, is what gave the Exeter Library its fame. This main floor reaches 20 metres in height and soaks in natural light from a clerestory at the top of this space. From this 15 metres square space visitors can spot metal bookstacks and readers above through large holes.

*️⃣Allt-Erlaa

Architect #Gluck #HarryGluck
City #Vienna
Country #Austria #EU

🔤The Alterlaa complex was designed by Austrian architect Harry Glück as income-restricted housing. Planning for the complex began in 1972, as part of a pilot scheme to expand Vienna with satellite towns.

As an integrated complex the Wohnpark was built according to a holistic vision. Specifically, it was an adaptation of a well-known utilitarian happiness principle aimed at achieving the maximum good i.e. to provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people.

The principle was implemented with great success, with numerous studies proving high levels of resident satisfaction. Alterlaa was reported in 2008 as having the highest tenant satisfaction rating in Vienna.

*️⃣Sino-French agricultural science and technology park church (Shadow church)

Architect #Dachuan #ShanghaiDachuan #SDA
City #Meishan close to #Chengdu
Country #China #AP

🔤As part of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and China, a Sino-French agricultural science and technology park was built in Chengdu.

The image of the church is drawn from the traditional Western church. When the sun comes down, the church was run through a beam of light, and turned into a beam of light. Light is always an indispensable element of the church. This most natural and pure material has become the soul of our church.

In the case of limited #budget and construction period, the designer paid great attention to ecological quality from the very beginning. The church is made entirely of square #aluminium, without any welds. The easy construction process and the use of simple materials not only save time and money, but also provide the highest quality and the best sense of appreciation. Even at night, the space doesn't get too dark, creating a sophisticated feeling of inner light. #nightlight

*️⃣Milwaukee Art Museum

Architect #Calatrava #SantiagoCalatrava
City #Milwaukee
Country #USA #NA

🔤Milwaukee's 19th-century German immigrants established a dense network of foundries and machine shops. The city's economy and culture became rooted in this precision metalworking tradition.

In 1994, architect, artist, and engineer Santiago Calatrava was commissioned to design an addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum combining cutting-edge technology with Milwaukee's strong tradition of craftsmanship. #context

Calatrava proposed a pavilion-like construction on axis with Wisconsin Avenue, the main street of central Milwaukee. The pavilion features a spectacular kinetic structure: a bris-soleil with louvers that open and close like the wings of a great bird. When open, the shape also becomes a sign, set against the backdrop of the lake, to herald the inauguration of new exhibitions. #kinetic

The pivot line for the bris-soleil’s slats is based as a parallel to the adjacent bridge mast.
