Passive solar design meets pointillist pincushion in this stunning porcupine-inspired office recently cleared for construction in Prestons, England. Designed by UK-based Moxon Architects, the building features a bristling brise-soleil composed of andonized aluminum fins suspended from tensile rods. This striking facade acts as a rain screen while filtering sunlight and contributing to the building’s energy-efficient profile.

The apartment house finds itself in the very city centre, at close quarters of the main square of Tallinn, Vabaduse square. These were the quartes where the dashing building and city planning activities stopped in the end of 1930s because of the war and it stopped for decades, for the whole period of soviet power in Estonia. Today we can find here the small wooden houses from the turn of the 19/20th centuries side by side with the scheme of consistent street walls carried through during the first period of independence.

Paris war ja schon oft der Vorreiter im Staedtebau, Haussmann war nur einer von denen, die sich im Stadtbild verewigt haben. Ausgegangen sind diese groben Veraenderungen des Stadtraums immer von einer Vision - und sei es nur die Vision den Aufstand der Unterschicht zu unterbinden. Nun koenne 10 Architekturbueros ihre Vision von einem Paris der Zukunft im Musee de la Cite praesentieren. Da sollte man fast mal nach Paris reisen…

4+1=2?

It wasn't its "4-in-1" tower design that was so striking. It wasn't the sustainable touches. It was the jargon.
