WHO'S NEXT DESIGN COMPETITION, 3|SQUARE urban home

Published on 10-03-2010 02:10

Categories:

Design Approach:
3|SQUARE urban home is our contemporary interpretation of the iconic American Foursquare (1890 - 1930.) The American Foursquare was plain, often incorporating handcrafted "honest" woodwork, but was also a part of the industrial revolution and could be ordered as a stockplan with the shipped materials. As with other styles in streetcar suburbs, it was tailored to relatively narrow lots, and was multi-story- allowing more square-footage on a smaller footprint. ...

I got to see this Frank L. Wright synagogue with Kevin and Sanna as part of their trip to the states. We hit the synagogue before having to leave town on our way south to DC. We drove to it via my Mazda 3 but a train station (the metro) brings you just south of the synagogue at the Elkins Park station. From there it is about a quarter mile of a hike. ...

Thank you for your patience during the closure period. Apart from the name change from [pushpullbar]² back to being pushpullbar, you might notice a lot of things are different now, especially the Frontpage. The upgraded forum software has its own front page CMS (content management system) that is integrated and interlinked with the forum itself, together with the blogging feature. Moderators can now promote posts to the Frontpage as well as posting new articles that are all searchable. You can link back to the referring thread or post from the article. There are still a lot of bugs but I am sure they will iron out the problems over time. ...

[Melbourne] Seaford Life Saving Club - Robert Simeoni

Mr. Large

Published on 03-03-2010 07:37

Categories:

The new life saving club goes above most life saving clubs which are used by members only and forms the thoroughfare for beach access, leading from the carpark to a viewing platform at the beach. The development includes new public toilets, storage for the club and a rentable space for events upstairs, with views over the water and old Seaford pier. There is also a new cafe with verandah which is capable of being closed for shelter by adjustable shutters. Much of the delight of this building is in the timber detailing which references to an extant the pier in front of it.

The Brisbane opera house aims to provide a place for cultural expression and a re-connection with the city’s life blood, its river.

The Podium; a monolithic base, constructed of concrete, sheathed in timber, cascades down, stepping in a way that provides large flat public spaces and an amphitheatre of seating where street performances, local markets or a large gathering of up to 10,000 people could be accommodated.
