Here are some links to articles that have peaked my interest in the last few days:
- ‘Can of ham’ to rival Foster’s Gherkin – Building What is it with Londoners and buildings that look like food? I am waiting for the Yorkshire pudding building, or the spotted dick building.
- FreshWater House by Chenchow Little Architects | CoolBoom This is a nice little piece of critical regionalism. The shutter walls are really genius way of bringing operable shutters to a contemporary design style. In addition the bundle of sticks element of the architecture thoroughly responds to the beach setting.
- 19th century Western town layout: myth vs reality | Cyburbia – urban planning community Cyburbia has an interesting discussion on the depiction of frontier/western towns in cinema and in real life. I find the discussion of early planning and zoning and false fronts very interesting.
- AIA Deconstructs Green-Building Standards| News | Architectural Record Architectural Record has an article about the AIA’s analysis of three different green building standards: LEED 2.2, Green Globes, and SBTool 07.
