Mr. Tyler’s entire home was only 78 square feet. And while his “Midtown mansion,” as he called it, was a far cry from the lavish town homes and shimmering penthouses that have spawned a thousand lustful television shows, a video tour posted on YouTube of Mr. Tyler’s little room has been viewed nearly 1.7 million times over the past year and a half. A similar video, about a 90-square-foot apartment on the Upper West Side, has been viewed even more times.
An exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, called “Making Room,” brought a 30 percent bump in attendance during its opening week in January, and the museum has maintained an 11 percent increase in foot traffic during the show’s run, compared with the same period last year.

Asian Cairns is a proposal for Shenzhen, China by architect Vincent Callebaut. With Shenzhen and Hong Kong growing together to total approximately 20 million inhabitants, Asian Cairns aims to provide a sustainable, multifunctional urban center. The six interconnected towers - or "farmscrapers - represent the elements of earth, fire, and water. Their form is derived from the piles of pebbles left to mark hiking trails in the mountains. Each one contains a deliberate mix of housing, office, leisure and green spaces. Each includes greenhouses, wind turbines, photovoltaic skin, and anaerobic composting.

TSM3 Unstable Housecombines the restoration of the ground floor of a 59,80 sqm terraced property in the centre of Madrid, and the construction of 2,5 new floors on top, with 154 sqm. The design dematerializes the original construction into a flexible home-cum-office that can change anytime. All the elements that define the living space are in a state of flux. The architecture does not seek to define and limit through fixed elements such as structures, walls or gaps, but rather through a series of devices producing actions or situations....

How much of the history of urban design as a discipline can be traced back to Corbusier's reading of foreground and background in Istanbul? He took his first research trip abroad to Istanbul in 1911 and wrote of the relationship between the massive forms of the mosques and the repeated typology of the wooden houses. Waterfront, trees, density - the contemporary concerns of urban design are already here. (His sketches and watercolor below are from "Turkish Architecture and Urbanism Through the Eyes of L.C.")
It is very unfair to position Rex's Vakko headquarters next to the New Mosque of 1597 and a detail of the Marble Door at Hagia Sophia. But the slumped glass holds its own. The interior of the Vakko, not so much. One reads the hurriedness of the project, which was, however, a major aspect of its intelligence.
These towers below, photographed quickly from a taxi on the Asian side, are far from the business parks, much less the Bosphorous or t...

One of the biggest highlights of my experience at the conference had to be getting a chance to meet/connect/and learn from William Krisel. To be honest, prior to attending the conference I knew little of Krisel’s work other than the signature butterfly roof. However, I did know that he was one of the keynote’s and that we would be visiting many of his projects throughout the conference.
USC Class of 1998 and USC Class of 1949!
It was to my great surprise and pleasure that Will actually approached me at the opening reception of the conference. Will had read my bio/profile which the Committee on Design and distributed on the 2013 Knowledge Scholars and Will had taken the time to do his homework. He introduced himself as a fellow USC alumnus and did so in Mandarin! Apparently, Bill was born in Shanghai and grew up speaking fluent Mandarin. He was even stationed in China during World War 2 as a translator.

In any case...

Freeing your feet from the worry of bumping into sub-surface supports, these clever round and rectangular tables look dizzyingly legless at first glance.
Of course, close inspection quickly reveals the mechanism behind the initial mystery – the loads are translated down through single-side arms attached to the chairs around each table.
Designed by Ingo Maurer (in production from Established & Sons), the components of these pieces look intentionally normal, making it all the more surprising...

These 58 protected houses are part of the more funding program (VIMA). This increase on the budget allows not only to build these 90 sqm houses, but it also helps the quality of the materials, in comparison to other protected houses belonging to other similar programs.
