Guesthouse aka Crazy House

Guesthouse
The house belongs to the daughter of the ex-president of Socialist Republic Vietnam. In due time, this Vietnamese lady was trained in architecture in Moscow.

The structure does not observe any of the standard concepts of housing construction and is similar to the fantastic lock, with a huge stomach of a giraffe or a spider. On the house tourist walks are resolved.

Cubic houses

Cubic houses
The original idea of these cubic houses (Rotterdam, Netherlands) has arisen in 1970th years.

Piet Blom has developed pair of such houses which then have been constructed in Rotterdam.

When to the architect the order for design of houses has arrived, he has decided to use cubic idea. One more nuance of building consists that each house reminds an abstract tree for this reason all village turns to wood.

Habitat 67

Habitat

The Symbol of Wisdom

In 1967, in Canada one of the largest world exhibitions of that time — the EXPO 67 has taken place. Houses and inhabited building were the main theme of an exhibition. The cube is a basis of this structure named Habitat 67, executed to beginning of exhibition. In material sense, a cube — a stability symbol. As to mystical value of a building the cube is a symbol of wisdom, true and moral perfection.
354 cubes set against each other, have allowed to create this gray (on color, instead of as a matter of fact) a building with 146 apartments soaring between heaven and earth, between a city and the rivers, between greens and light.

Public library to Kansas city

Kansas
This project located in the centre of Kansas City (Missouri, USA), is one of the first projects directed on restoration of historical and tourist value of the city.

It was offered to townsmen to help to pick up the most known books which as that are connected with the name of Kansas City. These editions have been included in innovative design of the Central city library to stimulate attendance.

Longaberger

Longaberger
Office of the building company Longaberger (Ohio, USA) which are based in Newark, the State of Ohio, should be the strangest office in the world...

Building of a building by the area more than 18,000 square metres, a copy of the well-known basket for picnic, cost $30 million, proceeded the whole two years. Many experts tried to convince the head of the company to cancel the plans, concerning building, and to choose more habitual form, but he has not wished it to make, thanks to what, we can contemplate this creation personally.

Social habitation in Paris

Social habitation

French architectural bureau ECDM has finished building of an apartment house in the north of Paris.

Here it is planned to place students, university teachers and women who require support — so it is spoken in release.

Various wings of a building are identified by colour — designers have thought up the original colour coding. Authors assert, that the concept, ideally corresponds to a district landscape.

The project will play various roles in the future; a stimulator of development, a divider of territory, a link between industrial and commercial buildings. The building place is mastered as follows: here 150 apartments for 170 inhabitants, 19 houses for researchers and the invited professors, and also already mentioned women are created.

Apartment house

In a complex all necessary household equipment is provided. Here there are premises for protection, private rooms for work and study, laundries, rooms for rest, as inside, and on the nature, gardens with fruit trees.

Buildings are focused on the east and the West that allows to protect naturally inhabitants from pollution and the noise connected with road lying nearby. Parametres of volume of four buildings are perfectly integrated into an architectural landscape of district, transition and interaction with the next buildings is conveniently organised.

The fallen asleep music

Asleep music
"The architecture is the fallen asleep music", — but what stands up for this expression, the beautiful metaphor or is real proofs?

In 1958 architects Iannis Xenakis and Le Corbusier have suggested people to touch music which became pavilion "Philips" building. Music laws are applicable in architecture and on the contrary.
For this reason, architecture monuments appeal in people delight of inspiration and thirst of a life, explain sense of creation and laws of preservation of all live on the earth.

The project of the highest tower in the world is promulgated

Dubai, highest tower

Developer company Nakheel in these days off has promulgated the plans for building of the highest tower in the centre of Dubai.

The building height will reach 1 kilometre and will eclipse itself the highest for today a tower in the world — Burj Dubai.

Nakheel the tower becomes a part of the project, named New Dubai which will be stretched more than on 270 hectares. And, predictably, will manage in 21 trillion of pounds sterling.

Representatives of company Nakheel have told, that instead of a unique kernel as it is accepted at building of skyscrapers, at their this building will be four, that is inspired by "traditional Islamic structures”.

Acting in the Near East the chief executive of company Chris O'Donnell has declared, that global credit crisis will not affect plans on tower erection. Also, he has told, that means for building will arrive under the following scheme — “earth presale inside and round a tower, and then project financing”.

The message on the given project is dated for beginning Cityscape 2008 event in Dubai. On this action it is expected to involve more than 60000 visitors from 150 countries. The exhibition will include more than 1500 exhibitors.

Aquarium
Such aquariums in the people call — Dutch. In Holland this direction in design of aquariums has arisen. Registration by plants, stones and snags is put at their creation on the first place, and small fishes serve as only bright addition. It is most in arrangement of the Dutch aquariums Japanese designer Takashi Amano has succeeded.

2008 Cityscape (Dubai)

Schumacher tower

Michael Schumacher's Tower

Architects Chris Bosse and Tobias Wallisser — representatives Laboratory for Visionary Architecture Asia Pacific (LAVA) on only opened world event — Cityscape 2008 event in Dubai — the grandiose project of the present — tower Michael Schumacher — the world champion in racing sports Formula-1.
On seventh of October in Dubai a legend Formula-1 Michael Schumacher has presented the first of seven towers which will be constructed worldwide. Thanks to the unique concept developed Joachim Swensson, the founder of brand PNYG:COMPANY, the building represents firm architecture of new generation.

The Dubai Tower Project

“The tower marks itself a withdrawal from traditional architectural thinking”, have declared Chris Bosse and Tobias Wallisser — authors of such known bulks, as the Water cube in Beijing and Museum Mercedes-Benz in Germany.

Dubai project

“This project unites all our previous experience — the project of a museum for Mercedes-Benz, with the spatial concept and last novelties of digital design, or technology of water cubed, in the Peking project, with creation of the tremendous atmosphere developed by deliberate replacement of a molecular science, architecture and phenomenology”, — Chris Bosse speaks.
Inspired by the geometrical organization of the most ordinary snowflake and aerodynamics of racing cars of the Formula-1, the tower reflects speed, dynamics of liquids, the future technologies and the natural structural organizations simultaneously. Instead of simple imitation of the form, architects have taken grace and unpredictability, highly effective structure and intriguing spaces from the nature.

Trend Technology of the Modern Skyscrapers

“Unique cooperation with Michael Schumacher has given us new ideas. The technology, accuracy, speed, grace, were the big source of inspiration for design. On analogies to a Formula-1 repair shop, tower building it will be executed with attraction of a considerable quantity of highly skilled experts. In this sense architects will take a place of the driver in competitions Formula-1″, adds Alexander Riec.

Dubai tower project

The project termination is planned for June, 2011.
