The Contemporary Fix X Mastermind Japan Store
July 14, 2008 · No Comments
Crazy Mastermind Japan store created by Yuichi Yoshii, who tore down his restaurant to the foundation, and created this metal and cement monster. Nasty Zakus, as well.

London 2090
June 22, 2008 · No Comments
Flooded London was created by the incredible media production group Squint/Opera and visualizes the English city several decades in the future when sea levels have risen substantially. The series is set years after initial chaos took place, and has a fairly Utopian perspective. Good luck on that, but pretty nonetheless; I like the style of the pieces. The absence of Kevin Coster-esque mermen is enough for me. The images are at Medcalf Gallery in Clerkenwell, London for the London Festival of Architecture.

I would totally live in this! Concept house designed by Victor Vetterlein incorporates wind turbines, paint made of solar cells, and rainwater collection…in theory, due to the whole “concept” thing, of course. Tons more info at Dezeen.

Whadya Get for 500MM Euros?

Well, apparently you get this ridiculously nice opera house in Oslo, Norway. The Building was created by Norwegian architecture firm Snohetta, and is the country’s largest project of this kind since the 1300s (no shit). Just a staggering building, if i do say so myself…and I do.

Beautiful House in Nakano, Tokyo
April 27, 2008 · No Comments
This house, titled 63.02° in reference to the angle of the facade of the house, was built by Schemata Architecture, and is pretty and ultra-modern. Though the house looks a little too cement for me (I like wood and glass more), the Cherry Blossoms certainly soften the image.
(Thanks Dezeen)

Villanueva Public Library
April 14, 2008 · No Comments
A group of four young architects, all of whom are under 30, have just completed the Villanueva Public Library in Casanare, Colombia. Miguel Torres, German Ramirez, Alejandro Piñol and Carlos Meza, from Javeriana University, won a nationwide competition. The library makes extensive use of local materials, as well as help from local workers in its construction. Looks great, and is just a cool thing to see a bunch of kids spending their time building a library.

Guggenheim in Lithuania

Zaha Hadid won the competition to build the new Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania. Hopefully it won’t open too much later than planned, though that seems a near-certainty. The renderings of the place look crazy:
Photos and info from Deseen architecture and design, a great place to find hot avant garde shit.
