Paintings of an Architectural Apocalypse

I (weirdly?) love Amy Casey’s paintings of buildings in peril — being swallowed by the sea, being flung into the sky by wind.

There’s an element of the Kowloon Walled City to Casey’s work, as well as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (specifically the tomato tornado). (via colossal)

Atlas of Brutalist Architecture, the Book That Proves Concrete Was Never the Problem

Concrete doesn’t apologize. Neither does this book. The Atlas of Brutalist Architecture by Phaidon Editors arrived in 2020 as a 568-page, 5.6-pound argument that Brutalism was never a mistake—it was a mission. Pick it up and you feel the weight immediately, both physically and intellectually. This isn’t a coffee table decoration. It’s a reckoning with […]

What happened to the 2.5 mile high building designed to be taller than Mount Fuji?

In 1995 the Japanese construction giant Taisei Corporation unveiled plans for the X-Seed 4000, a tower four kilometers tall — a building shaped like Mount Fuji that would have stood 224 meters higher than the actual mountain.

It called for 800 floors, room for up to a million residents in Tokyo Bay, and more than three million tonnes of steel. — Read the rest

My current architecture methodology

Architecture? Er...

Architecture is one of those words that means different things to different people, and carries different emotional valence according to the a person's history with people that called themselves architects, or with groups called `architecture team'. All of the definitions I've heard carry truth, but the only one that struck me as universally applicable was "architecture is…

Cité Frugès in Pessac, France

When Henri Frugès, a sugar trader, wanted to provide his employees with affordable housing, he approached an up-and-coming Swiss-born architect named Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, who would later become known as Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier applied his ambitious vision of minimalist, functional, standardized, prefabricated housing to a small pilot scheme in nearby Lège, where six houses and a communal…

What Good Architecture Actually Looks Like: ARRCC’s Michele Rhoda on the WAN Awards Jury Room

Judging an architecture award is a strange kind of pressure test. Michele Rhoda, Principal at Cape Town-based studio ARRCC, walked into the WAN Awards jury room primed for the familiar signals—polished renders, confident diagrams, and the grammar of “design excellence.” The deliberations quickly demanded something else entirely. What she observed from inside the jury room […]

Howdy, howdy, folks.

For many years (ten now, about which, more soon) McMansion Hell has featured many prominent and diverse atrocities from all over these great United States and sometimes beyond them. However, most of these posts have consisted of houses built during the McMansion Era proper – from the 80s up through around the early 2010s.

This is for a number of reasons. First of all: I…

How Unbuilt Architecture Enters Visual Culture

Some buildings become familiar before they’re finished. Before the concrete has cured, before the scaffolding has come down, before anyone has walked through the entrance, the project already has an audience that has formed opinions about it. People are saying it’s beautiful or wrong for the site or exactly what the neighborhood needed. None of […]

This Prague Family House by edit! Shows What Minimalism Looks Like When It Actually Works

Minimalism gets misused constantly. Architects slap flat roofs on boxy volumes, strip interiors to bare concrete, and call it restraint. What studio edit! delivered in Prague’s Čakovice district is something far more considered—a family house that earns its simplicity by putting spatial intelligence first. The result is a home that feels generous, connected, and quietly […]
