The Museo Achille Castiglioni has launched a website

Technical College Ultimo

This post was about tours of the Ultimo College - a very fine building by William E Kemp. I don't think these tours still run though. Kemp also designed the Bourke St Public School in Surry Hills. UTS's own Dr Kirsten Orr is also a fan of Kemp's, so you should bother her about him and his work - try to bully her into a lecture.

AMUNT

I don't know if any of you still check this blog now that semester has finished (well, except for marking), but Designboom have just published this lovely project by a German firm called AMUNT. Very nice the way they have arranged 2 dwellings into a very small space - could have been a useful precedent for you.

Peter Zumthor

A little bit amazed to learn that some of you do not know Peter Zumthor's work. Please Google him. All his buildings are extraordinary. A few photos of the Kolumba Museum in Cologne by Helene Binet below (source is Dezeen):


Archivo Municipal de Toledo

This is an image of the Archivo Municipal de Toledo by Mendaro Corsini. This beautiful photo is from a Flickr set by Pablo Echávarri. Mr Echávarri has beautiful photographs that are worth a look (his Flickr page here), including the Guggenheim in Bilbao (Gehry) and the Thermal Baths in Vals (Zumthor).

Automated warehouse

Here's a short video on automated storage systems. Lots more if you Google automated storage or automated warehouse.

SESC Pompéia / Lina Bo Bardi

Plataforma Arquitectura have been kind enough to publish a little feature on one of my favorite projects by one of my favorite architects: the SESC Pompéia by Lina Bo Bardi.

Images below from their feature (first photo by Pedro Kok, second from Usuario de Talleravd LG A77)


HdeM, 56 Leonard St


A nice example of the increasingly tired idea of "let's just stack things up". This is a project by Herzog de Meuron for NYC:


Neutelings Riedijk, Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp


A former juror, Mark Gazy, pointed out this scheme.

What is lovely and relevant is how this scheme celebrates the vertical spiral circulation - actually a network of closed and open spaces.

It can be seen at the Neutelings Riedijk website, and at Bustler, which has published the photo below as well as lots of drawings.


Apartment in Barcelona


A former student made me aware of the video below.

Johnston Marklee - Sale House

Thought I should draw your attention to this project by Johnston Marklee as Lars Holt, a friend of mine, worked on this project. Lars was part of the Danish contingent here last year from the Aarhus School of Architecture.
