The Architecture thread

From the outside? What did you think of it? I like the way light filters through the glass bricks and the feeling of being shielded but at the same time connected with the outside, very clever use of materials.

 

I was riding on a street car which roll passed it. The unique facade and its strong contrast with nearby buildings caught my attention. I did not know it was done by Hiroshi Nakamura; otherwise, I would have hoped off to take a closer look.

I love his work, check out Graz car showroom/residence, how many of us here would say no to that??

I love this! So sleek.

That looks interesting, I would appreciated it more if they used a real tree buy the timber is veneered, I don't like shortcuts

That would be pretty intense if it was milled from a single solid tree.

I think veneering is okay if done over another type of real wood, I mean veneering is an ages-old process. It's if they do it over say particleboard that I'd have a problem.

Is this a dare? Sounds like adware to me

They sandwiched/glued rectangular pieces of wood together, look at the end of the piece you can see the joints.

I know this guy who built a cantilevered island out of steel, then veneered it in stone. It's not solid stone but I think it still looks pretty cool.

I have zero issue with veneer, what puts me off is the fact that you can see how they joined the logs together if they veneered over the top it would've been better.

Maybe something more like this?

 

Cool table. I cannot imagine the weight that thing possesses. You would need a crane to move it and pray the bark doesn't fall off.

Now we are talking

What cantilevered. She is there to stay, holding that end

True artificial sunlight, look and feel. Thought this was most relevant here over the "Damn" thread.

Lots of corian and I like it:

Saw an interesting design the other day. I guess from an angle it might look like a ship?

 

 

 

It might, it wasn't uncommon for the late Art Deco style to use ocean liners as inspiration. I assume this house is old? It's certainly "different" if it's a new build.

I dont think an architecture thread can exist without reference to John Lautner's Arango house.

Incredible product, I want some!

:shock:

:shock:

 

is that good or bad shock?

 

I love it, its brutalist architecture, mixed with organic design and considering it was designed in 1970 its mind blowing to me.

 

 

Another must have in an architecture thread has to be Mies van der Rohe's German Pavilion.

 

built in 1929
