Denver: Art Museum Addition
(10 February 2005) - The Denver Art Museum is getting quite the grand and futuristic expansion--They're calling it the Frederic C. Hamilton building. It's going to be an impressive geometric shaped explosion made of glass and over 230,000 square feet of titanium all designed by Daniel Libeskind. Libeskind designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin in '99, and in '03 he was selected to design the World Trade Center...

Mill City Museum—Minneapolis
(04 February 2005) - Mill City Museum, one of downtown Minneapolis's latest architectural achievements. Rather than completely erase the existence of the former flour-processing plant that was destroyed by fire in 1991, the new museum was constructed within the remaining outer walls, now jagged and ragged but still intact. The Mill City Museum, designed by local firm Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, is constructed of ground-to-rooftop windows and steel beams...

Futuro House
(03 February 2005) - Without a description of these pictures you might think I spotted a UFO, but this is actually a house by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. The Futuro House is in San Diego, and is one of 20 that were ever built. Suuronen designed them in 1968 as ski-cabins or holiday homes, they were completely furnished and were made to accommodate 8 people. The owner of...

Archinect Shirts
(02 February 2005) - Archinect is the website that has definitively connected designers and architects from around the globe. They have covered a zillion different architectural topics, and now they are offering a few wearable souveniers. These T-Shirts are all by different designers. Sometimes architecture does suck, and they've made a t-shirt for those times. The robots designs are constructed from parts of old cathedral floor-plans, very neat....

The Spacebox
(26 January 2005) - This looks like a cheap version of the Compact Design Living space we saw a few months ago. A crane stacks these guys 3 units high, each unit is complete with a kitchen, shower, and toilet. They look almost Japanese in design, like a capsule hotel. I wonder if these will become popular; maybe in small creative communites in Rotterdamn where they were designed....

Millau Viaduct
(16 December 2004) - The Millau Viaduct recently opened up in France and was inaugurated by the French President Jacques Chirac. It was designed by the English architect Lord Norman Foster. It's the highest bridge in the world measuring at 343 meters (1125.33 ft) and creates a direct route between Paris and the Mediterranean coast using only seven slender pillars. So the next time I find myself road...

Web House
(04 November 2004) - The London architecture firm m3 has designed a temporary living structure that can be attached to the side of a building. Perhaps a cross between the Aero Bed and a Tent Caterpillar, the Web House is meant to be an office worker's refuge between a late night meeting and an early morning presentation. We all joke about sleeping under our desks, now we really...

Millenium Park, Chicago, IL
(11 June 2004) - Next month is the grand opening of Chicago's Millennium Park. The centerpiece is the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the most sophisticated outdoor concert venue of its kind in the United States. The last few Gehry buildings seem to have been cut and past replications of each-other, but this one is a little different. It's still distinctively Gehry, but where the other buildings...

Contemporary Art Museum: Niteroi, Rio, Brazil
(15 April 2004) - Oscar Niemeyer is undoubtedly Brazil's most influential modern architect. I was only able to see a small sampling of his work, but was blown away by the Contemporary Art Museum in Niteroi (outside of Rio). This Jetson's fabulous structure looks like progressive 50's Modern, but was actually completed in 1996. Especially genius is how the alien structure harmonizes with surrounding nature. Check out the...

Reflecting Absence
(06 January 2004) - 'Reflecting Absence' by Michael Arad has been chosen as the memorial to those who lost their lives in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11th. The piece uses a pair of reflective pools to mark the location of the towers' footprints. While many are criticizing the piece, I quite like it. The minimalism is appropriate and the experience promises to entice a mood...

Save the TWA Terminal
(07 November 2003) - 2003.07.11 Manhattan User's Guide reported that Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal at JFK, that glorious, swooping, curvilinear icon, which proves that a building doesn't need great height in order to soar, is about to be destroyed by the Port Authority. 2003.11.06 Again via Manhattan User's Guide, news on the JFK TWA Terminal. This time good: The Port Authority and JetBlue have done the right thing,...
