"Illuminated River's smart LED technologies provide a more long-term sustainable solution for lighting the Thames at night." Learn more about this from the Google Arts & Culture online exhibition on Creating a Better Lighting Environment for the Thames. Atelier Ten's lighting team worked to update 9 bridges on the Thames with dynamic lighting covering 2.5 miles in length – this is the longest public art commission in the world; we worked with the Illuminated River Foundation, artist Leo Villareal and architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands. "By developing an overarching framework for lighting in each borough to guide street lighting and coordinate lighting from public and private sources, the quality of London’s lighting would hugely improve."

Some of London’s most incredible buildings and structures don’t exist anymore. This article brings small, low resolution photos and I can't help but thinking: What if we had the Matterport technology back then to capture and preserve these landmarks in a digital form? What if we could explore the Whitehall Palace or Holland House? Matterport Digital Twins have the potential to bridge the gap between past and present, ensuring that even as physical structures fade away, their digital counterparts stand the test of time. Museums and history books offer valuable insights, but the ability to virtually wander through these lost structures adds a layer of understanding that is unparalleled. Fortunately, we have Matterport now and can seize the opportunity to preserve our architectural heritage. #matterport #digitaltwins #architecturelovers

The Lark is a bardic space manifested ‘in the light of thought’ and form. What is the purpose of an architectural space, what is its function and its form? These are critical questions when it comes to reflecting on how awards and accolades should be provided in recognition of the relative merit of a particular building and the people who have made that space happen. At a time of culture wars, where social extremists are forcefully tugging at the resilience of the fabric of community cohesion, it’s heartening to see that one building has risen to the heights of inspiration to provide a venue for people to come together in pursuit of creativity and innovation through the arts. These are pursuits that are pure of spirit, and which seek harmony above discord. This spatial ambition realises the best attributes of what the function of a wonderful building might be – that is its capacity to bring about the best in humanity. In terms of its form, The Lark, Ireland’s newest concert hall, is aesthetically astounding, with its façade reflecting the musicality of its purpose. So, The Lark embodies, in the words of Shelly’s ode, a realising of ‘the light of thought’, form, and purpose. I must admit to an element of bias in my observations here, because my brother, Michael Bracken, provided the beautifully finessed marble finish for the building. Nonetheless, I’ll unashamedly be giving it my vote for Ireland’s Favourite Building for 2024 as proposed by the the RIAI, and I’d encourage you to cast vote a for The Lark here as well! https:thelark.ie/vote/

Our latest book, “How can we live together?,” is now out – see link below for more info and to purchase the book. This publication documents the GHETTO exhibition, which was displayed at the Museum of Vancouver between August 23, 2023 and January 1, 2024. GHETTO originally exhibited at the European Cultural Centre (ECC) 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale and Art Gallery of Ontario (2022) before travelling to Vancouver. For the MOV exhibit, GHETTO proposed a theoretical rezoning project in Vancouver’s False Creek and sought to encourage meaningful dialogue on our collective responsibility to care for one another through the creation of inclusive cities. “How can we live together?” highlights the public input on a housing survey, which was gathered from over 15,000 visitors during the Vancouver exhibition. More info: https://lnkd.in/gWZ-X5bC Purchase: https://lnkd.in/gXBTubGW “‘The exhibit was meant to articulate to the world the potential of our CAC process and to transform it from condos into other things,’ says Henriquez. ‘But also, it was meant to generate talk about larger global issues of people in need around the world as well. And so that’s what the survey was trying to measure… to what extent are people self-interested, and to what extent are they altruistic in terms of their aspirations to help people who have less than them?’” – excerpt from essay by Kerry Gold

🏛️ The Jewish Museum in Berlin: A Journey Through History and Emotion 📚 The Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, is not just a museum—it’s an emotional experience. The architecture itself is meant to evoke feelings of disorientation and anxiety, reflecting the tumultuous history of the Jewish people in Germany. Architectural Highlights: Zigzag Design 🌀: The building’s zigzag shape, often described as a 'disjointed Star of David,' creates an unsettling pathway through the museum. Void Spaces 🕳️: Empty, unheated voids run through the building, representing the absence and loss experienced during the Holocaust. Garden of Exile 🌳: Tilted columns and uneven ground in the garden create a sense of instability, mirroring the dislocation of Jews during exile. Visiting the Jewish Museum in Berlin is more than an architectural tour—it's a powerful journey through history, designed to make you feel the weight of the past. Check out our latest article for an in-depth look at this architectural masterpiece. Read More https://lnkd.in/e_KRJZnV 🔍 Have you visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin?

Emilio Ambasz is an architect and award-winning industrial designer. Ambasz's trademark style is a combination of buildings and gardens, which he describes as 'green. over grey'.
GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, USA (1983) https://lnkd.in/esSAhwYC This proposal revitalizes the city's downtown area by reusing a distinguished, but now vacant, former government building and by adapting a number of abandoned or underused neighboring structures for additional cultural functions. The main 1908 Beaux-Arts building is upgraded to meet codes and programmatic requirements. A relocation of the entrance from the closed side of the U-shaped building to the open court-yard establishes a direct physical relationship between the museum and its surroundings while creating a single, unified entrance. Covering the court-yard, a translucent inclined plane of stairs has an opening at its center that leads to the Grand Foyer which is a shared space for the different departments. Water descends slowly and evenly from the top of the stairway along a channel carved into the plane, leaving a clear pedestrian path for those walking up the stairs. This water is, in fact, the very water used for the air-conditioning system. In this way, the need for an unsightly cooling tower has been eliminated and this silent cascade becomes the focal point of the city's newest public space.

National Symposium Call for Abstracts The 2024 National Symposium will take place in Miami and Coral Gables, Florida from May 29-June 1. Researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts involved in the process of preservation, conservation, renovation or transformation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods of the Modern Movement are invited to submit abstracts that investigate "Streams of Modernity: Postwar to Postmodern." Miami is a city whose location, diversity, and vibrant growth have historically made it an ideal destination for international travel, business, culture, and leisure. The region became an escape for post-World War II middle America, shaped largely by the desire for leisure and entertainment. Over the past decades, Miami has become a laboratory to explore new urban patterns, building types, evolving aesthetics, and emerging environmental consciousness. The symposium seeks to promote a broader understanding of the accomplishments of postwar to Postmodern architecture and culture, both nationally and in regional contexts such as South Florida, the Caribbean, and Latin America. https://lnkd.in/gpcxscsT
