Taipei Performing Arts Center Proposal

‘ This design was proposed by NL Architects in a design competition for the Taipei Performing Arts Center to host a variety of large-scale performances. There is something really amazing about the aesthetics of this project that I love yet can’t quite put my finger to it. Perhaps it is the fact that I like large void spaces. I just love how the structure is actually a simple white cube with its inner volume subtracted, like a mouse eating in a cube of cheese with square teeth. In the end, Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) won the competition as other pragmatic concerns, such as the poor acoustics in such a huge structure, took over.’ (via Designboom)

Querkraft Architects designed a new entrance foyer and museum shop for the Technical Museum in Vienna, Austria. The master plan was based on multifunctional pieces of furniture made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic and fabric that can be used as seating, shade and acoustic absorption. These objects are a binder between technology and nature because of their organic form, in the night they can be considered simple lighting trees. For the shop they proposed flexible moveable furnishings very useful for the products presentation. The new parts added to the museum are well integrated and meets all the functional requirements.

‘ Movements and gestures of dancers are full of expression and tension. Dancers bring the fascinated viewer into an internal world of experience and emotion through the swinging movement of their hips, decorative arrangement of their fingers and smooth vibration of the ornamental frills. Rhythmic and dynamic music transmits the spectator into a world of incredible aesthetic feelings awakening all senses and inflaming the imagination. This is how architecture dedicated to the culture of feisty flamenco should look like as demonstrated in the proposal by MUS Architects. ‘ International School Museum of Flamenco in Spain (via ArchDaily)
