Award Winning The Shadow House in London With a Dark Brick Exterior

Architecture competitions, Design, Extreme Architecture, Interiors, Photos

The Shadow House is a newly-built private house on 38 sq m piece of land in London. Architects from Liddicoat and Goldhill created this Victorian house in order to test their ideas on living with less interior spaces with maximum emotional effect. Instead of using different construction materials, this house is made up of dark bricks. Privacy, comfort and silence are the major aspects we like about this house. Also, the Victorian buildings nearby provide a beautiful view. You might be wondering how the architects tackled the problem of lighting that is common to such tiny buildings. The obstacle has been overcome with the creation of an open space with clear straight lines and glass walls. No wonder it has won the Best Small House Of The Year Award at the British Homes Award 2011.

Strategies for Building Public Art Work with Minimal Means and Maximal Effect

Design, E-learning, Movies, Photos

This video shows a lecture by Arnout Van Vaerenbergh on the occasion of TEDxEutropolis. Van Vaerenbergh is a young Belgian architect and a co-founder of Leuven-based design practice Gijs Van Vaerenbergh. The speaker and his partner Pieterjan Gijs have been creating projects together since 2007. The projects are realized in the public spaces and without doubt they show architects’ architectural background. In spite of architecture, these projects also clearly display an artistic intention. Van Vaerenbergh’s work consists of site-specific interventions, installations and constructions that generate a mutual reaction with the environment. As such, their projects do not always originate from the customary commission and carry a large degree of autonomy. Their primary concerns are experiment, reflection, a physical involvement with the end result and the input on the viewer. In their art they manipulate the public space with minimal means and maximal impact. During the lecture Van Vaerenbergh talks about 3 very innovative projects which were invented and realized by his practice.
