The city of Miltenberg is characterised by its particular location near the river Main between the Forest of Odes and the Spessart Mountains. The well-preserved historical center with many half-timbered houses stretches out along the Main and is limited on its back side by a steep hillside, which in the past was used as a natural stone quarry. The here removed red Main sandstone dominates the whole city.

In 2012, Johnson & Wales University purchased 40 acres of property that had become available due to the relocation of I-195 in downtown Providence. As the first completed building constructed on this reclaimed land, the building serves as a new beacon on the edge of the campus and is designed to support the evolving urban street grid with a cafe, outdoor courtyard, lobby event space, and learning activities visible from the street.

Tree Art Museum / Daipu Architects

Located in Songzhuang, Beijing China, Tree art museum lies beside the main road of the area. Original village has vanished, replaced by big scale blocks which better fit for cars. Even if renowned as artist village, it’s difficult to stay or enjoy art exploration without local artist friend’s introducing. So, the first idea was to create an ambient, a public space where people would like to stay, date and communicate.

Qurios Zandvoort / 2by4-architects

September 12, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

Mid-July 2019 recreational park Qurios Zandvoort opened its doors. The park is situated between the Formula 1 track, the national park Kennemerland and the beach of the town of Zandvoort. It’s also conveniently close to the cities of Haarlem and Amsterdam. Because of its unique location, the park will attract a very diverse group of guests. From city-dwellers to beachgoers and from nature lovers to race fanatics. For the design of the park, this meant that it couldn’t be a ‘1 size fits all’ concept and should be able to accommodate this diverse group of guests. The architecture of the park plays a key role in giving meaning and expression to this diversity. The park accommodates 100 cottages and 2 public pavilions and is designed like a dune park where the sand literally flows against the building.

Jacksonport State Park Visitor Center / Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects

August 7, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

A modern Visitor Center serves as a window on the past, celebrating a historically significant port town, while lifting visitors above a levee to reunite river and town, past and present. Situated at the confluence of Arkansas’ White and Black Rivers, Jacksonport was a thriving 1800’s port town serving steamboats that held up to 200 passengers. It’s a place of contradiction geographically and historically, where the Mississippi Delta meets the mountains. Because of its accessibility to the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers, Jacksonport was a Civil War strategic stronghold, being held five different times by Union and Confederate forces and serving as each general’s headquarters.

Student Club of Heyuan Senior High School / YUANISM ARCHITECTS

When people in towns yearn for livings in big cities like a flying kite, the “self” is the string of the kite connected to the ground. It refers to the long long years of school, of which shapes you no matter where you are. In a fast-paced society, under the doing of prototype trimming and modelarization in architecture, schools are similar to each other. Four people in a dormitory and forty-five people in a classroom, school life remains unchanged like these rules of standard. As we walk into a Starbucks in a completely unfamiliar city, we blurt out a cup of mocha frappuccino without checking the menu. Similarly, wenever have too many memories more than the neat white teaching buildings, the barren football field, for the second “home” before adult. The school lost its locality as a field.
