To encourage exploration of various architects and buildings, I will post an image of a new building on a weekly basis, so we may all play "Name that Architect and Building!!!". Sorry to be lame, but I'm sort of tired of hearing how wonderful Rem is or how everyone hates Gehry. Let's get some other guys on the table, instead of regurgitating the same thing. Anyway,
I hope this link works

phuyaka...that detail is so impressive is scary...it's amazing how complicated things can get when you are trying to achieve simplicity!
shigeru ban's, as HdM's projects, generally look much much better when built...
those architects who seem to live in the "magic" of reality, that impalpable quality of material, texture, space, light that computers can't grasp...renderings never seem to do them justice - i can't imagine the bruder klaus chapel by zumthor being captured in a rendering -
so, in regards to shigeru ban in chelsea, i will be cautiously optimisitc as well...

btw phuyaka that agps house (metal fabric ext curtains) you posted a while back definitely wasnt an old factory - it is in one of THE most expensive parts of zurich. what i found amazing is that it got planning approval in such an twee area full of lovely old chateaus. kudos to agps.

hey p2... you're right definitely not a refurbished factory (the layout doesn't suggest it at all). I looked up the article in detail mag on the building and I guess the steel curtains were made factory style on conveyor belts.. there was my confusion.

i am a bit of an image/project junkie, i read alot of magazines, where i work its kinda part of my job to find/store/know of new projects.
as mentioned before - there is a shit load of good stuff out there, seeing it can make you either motivated or annoyed depending on your situation and location.

When I was a student in Melbourne, I worked at an architecture book store, and had to read and/or review all of the books and magazines that came in.
Having said that, i finished that in 2003 so more recent stuff, and more obscure buildings I am not so well versed in. I also spent a shit load of time in the library.

yeah! that took all of 5 minutes.
i found the kindergarten while looking for the morger + degelo kindergarten in basel (m+d did 3 projects within a 5 block radius of each other) which isn't published anywhere i can find online. i'll upload some photos later, it's a great small project, and probably deserves to go in the small projects thread.

yes, it's the temporary wooden one. it is aging, but when i was in basel (2003-2004) it had a beautiful patina. i'll see if i have time to scan some slides at lunch today.
