014.09 Steven Holl Raises Eyebrows With a "Social Bracket" and "Shade Machines" : TreeHugger

4+1=2? When Steven Holl Architects announced this week that it had won a competition to design a corporate master plan in China's southern financial capital Shenzhen, near a new tower by OMA, it immediately raised some eyebrows. It wasn't its "4-in-1" tower design that was so striking. It wasn't the sustainable touches. It was the jargon.

We´ve seen tons of pictures of both the exterior and the inner court of Herzog & de Meuron’s bird nest in Beijing during the Olympics. But what we haven’t seen is the intermediate space inside the nest fibers, a space which looked amazing on the early renderings.

It was only a matter of time before someone turned the Beijing Olympics installations into Lego. Our friends at Brothers Brick discovered the landmarks—like the Nest Sports Ground or the iconic Water Cube—Lego'ized by the Honk Kong Lego Users Group. The attention to detail is particularly impressive in the high resolution images.

071.08 One-Way Street: Towards an Ethical Architecture

http://onewaystreet.typepad.com/one_w...

One-Way Street (Einbahnstrasse) was Walter Benjamin's first effort to break out of the narrow confines of the academy and apply the techniques of literary studies to life as it is currently lived. For Benjamin criticism encompasses the ordinary objects of life, the literary texts of the time, films in current release, and the fleeting concerns of the public sphere. Following Benjamin's lead, this blog is concerned with the political content of the aesthetic and representations of the political in the media. As Benjamin writes in One-Way Street, "He who cannot take sides should keep silent."

013.08 Architecture: Beijing Olympic Campus Looks Like CGI

http://io9.com/347049/beijing-olympic...

Construction is nearly complete on the Beijing Olympic Stadium, shaped like a massive steel bird's nest, and the swimming-pool-filled Water Cube, which looks like a piece of glowing alien machinery. This is an actual photo of the buildings at night. We've also got some less-surreal glimpses of them too.
