2 Apartment Buildings in Bilbao by OAB Barcelona
Respecting historicist criteria on the delimitation of the nineteenth century elliptical square, the project takes on a contemporary quality producing a building front in the Plaza de Euskadi.
By means of individual blocks on the ground floor and the 8 floors flanking the tower, its alignment is parallel to the Duesto Bridge project, which is vested in the symbolic nature of its unique site.
The project proposes, as a resolution to the buildings, dwellings that span façade to façade, which will allow for better orientation, permit cross-ventilation, and will improve the amount of natural light.

Vault House by Johnston Marklee
Vault House is situated on a densely developed Californian beach site and challenges the standard prime, single-view typology by applying a strategy of complex layering of transparent interior spaces. With a series of stacked and unidirectional vaults contained within a simple solid mass, the parallel orientation of the rooms within the house becomes a filter that emphasizes the continuation of the oceanfront view from the beachfront façade to the street. Similar to the paradigm of a shotgun-house, the singular direction of the vaults maximizes the connection of all spaces within a deep building, meanwhile incorporating the ideal exterior landscape of the ocean and horizon.

At FEIT construction leads design.
The minimal modern aesthetic emphasizes construction techniques and the quality of the materials used. That’s why FEIT never gets old.

Some homes are like this,
the haze of pining or brittle light,
movement in dew wind,
the oak woods readable to a girl
whose heart is wrought of eucalyptus;
it keeps eclipsing itself green and oil,
the stony plantar of a body forgotten
or what the eyes in the vase
want to remember of the dawn,
construction of a hill house,
this sketch of bay, marble night stands,
elderly with small dogs, novels
rested in a glass chest, this haze
of empty love, then closure, travel,
then resin words tumbling
like fog, just when this plot
is ruined by us, we construct a pond
with timber water and the background
of the portrait starts with the conception
of leaning against something even if
for minutes just bark, orchid sphere of wall
and honey, holy like these cotton moments
and others blooming, we keep what
will stand, hard pulses that come
and wane, the red moon sky, the sheen
nerve we are alone.
This is the construction of my final garment! The floral print is the lining thats going inside the navy jacket, the plan is working out so far and im liking the result.

Second Avenue Subway Phase 2: The case for a crosstown extension on 125th Street
Second Avenue Subway Phase 2: The case for a crosstown extension on 125th Street. Guest author Kristian Laverick
Guest Author: Kristian Laverick
When it was originally conceived in the 1920’s, the Second Avenue Subway (SAS) was intended as a main trunk line running north-south through Manhattan with branches extending to The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. With the expansiveness of the subway system in Manhattan as it is a hundred years later, the borough doesn’t need more north-south trunk lines: it just…
