Residential Architecture: Sun Slice House by Steven Holl Architects: “..This weekend house..is organized to frame slices of sunlight. While the owner’s profession revolves around artificial light, slices of natural light and their change in space throughout the day and year is the focus of the house. While most elevations are simple rectangles strategically sliced and cut for the play of light within, the north façade is made of glass with views of Lake Garda..The steel frame and concrete structure is skinned with an alloy of copper, steel, chromium, and nickel, which weathers to a leathery red color. Interiors are white plaster with terrazzo floors on the ground level while bamboo floors cover the second. Natural ventilation and geothermal heating and cooling are part of the energy plan..” With the weathered look of Corten Steel, extensive glazing, natural light, creative form, sharp interiors..

Architecture: Anabatic office by betillon / dorval-bory: “..the building explores passive climate integration within a form which goes beyond the commonly accepted architectural features of sunshades and context design. with high energy usage of great concern within the hot and humid atmosphere and human physiology dictating that individuals are best adapted to temperatures of 21 degrees celsius with 50% humidity, the structure attempts to address both elements at once. the outward form and materials of this office building combine to artificially generate ventilation..” Anabatic wind, generally speaking an air current rising up the slope of a mountain, is used to cool this office building..

The 2620, by Ron Gilad, a chandelier unveiled by Flos at the Salone del Mobile 2011
The astute and refined Alice Rawsthorn has written “Creations of Poetry and Chaos” in the Arts section of The New York Times; a short, fine article looking at the creations, notably the lighting, of the designer Ron Gilad, which Rawsthorn calls “visually stunning, technologically ingenious”; how can one not agree?
Here is a link to the official site of the, seemingly now defunct, brand Designfenzider (the link to Ron Gilad’s own site redirects to the Designfenzider site).
Here is a link to the Google image search for Ron Gilad, which yields upward of 99000 images; here.

The Souk, Abu Dhabi Central Market by Foster + Partners
The ever active design blog Dezeen has published a post entitled “The Souk, Abu Dhabi Central Market by Foster + Partners“, looking at the recently opened, Norman Foster designed, pedestrian shopping center - a marvelously contemporary, yet sensibly historical offering including high-end boutiques, and independent local food and craft markets on the site of a historic city marketplace in Abu Dhabi.
Dezeen‘s article is full of wonderful photos showing courtyards, alleys, integrated balconies, stained-glass windows, columns and more that characterize this flexibly ventilated, seductive wood structure.

Alice Rawsthorn has written an enjoyable and very interesting article entitled “Taking a Zoological Approach to Chairs” in the Arts section of The New York Times, looking at the history of office chair design, from Charles Darwin’s design in the 1840s (yes, Charles Darwin, the Charles Darwin, was a furniture designer!) to contemporary, hyper-designed, creations, and reviewing the truly fascinating book “A Taxonomy of Office Chairs” by the American industrial designer and design researcher Jonathan Olivares. Sitting pretty?
