*️⃣Treetop Walk in Hamaren Activity Park Architect #Effekt City #Fyresdal Country #Norway #EU 🔤The canopy walkway known for its islands and fjords, is the first of its kind in Norway. The wooden boardwalk structure is carefully designed as a response to the curvature of the mountain, sometimes following the mountain’s ridges and slopes, and sometimes bending out, creating viewpoints and dramatic drops where visitors can feel the wind in the treetops. The loadbearing structure as well as the boardwalk and railing are made from locally sourced pinewood. This way the structure literally blends in with existing pine trees on the mountain. Effekt architects and Inge Aamlid developed a simple wooden system of small prefabricated elements to minimize impact on the natural site. Installed with light machinery and by hand, it reduced disturbance during construction. #sustainability@simoderna 🔤 Material #wood Function #public #park #observation Address: 53MG+JV Lyngdal, Norway ©️ pics by #Hjortshoj text by architects 🌐Try *simoderna google map absolutely for free.

*️⃣La Samaritaine Architect #SANAA and #SRA architects City #Paris Country #France #EU 🔤This project is the renovation of La Samaritaine, a late-19th century “Grand magasin” in Paris.The site is of great historical significance and is overlooking the Seine. #heritage "Our design for the Rivoli façade revitalizes the image of La Samaritaine. The soft waves of the glass echo the rhythm and scale of neighboring fenestration, establishing continuity along this busy commercial street." To further enhance the integration of the new design within its urban context the glass reflects and transforms the surrounding environment, creating a subtle combination of the historical and the contemporary across its surface.

*️⃣Glashaus Reutlingen Architect #Wulf City #Reutlingen Country #Germany #EU 🔤Reutlingen’s new landmark has opened: the “Glashaus”, a striking structure made of a timber load-bearing framework and around 28,000 glass tiles. What makes it unique is that the building is not only an architectural highlight, but also prevents one of the oldest continuous rows of half-timbered houses in southern Germany from collapsing. #heritage@simoderna The history of the site stretches back decades. In 1972, the so-called Stone House was demolished at the same location after being deemed structurally unsound. Without this supporting structure, the adjacent half-timbered buildings gradually began to lean more dangerously over the following decades. The roof and facade surfaces are clad with a homogeneous layer of #glass “beaver-tail” tiles. Depending on the conditions of incident light the wooden trusswork behind it is more or less visible, and the building appears translucent or glittering, like a chimera. 🔤 Function #public #museum #entertainment #events Feature #highlight #interior Address: Spendhausstraße 3, 72764 Reutlingen, Germany ©️ pics by visitreutlingen.de (1), gea.de (3) and architects (2,4,5) text by glaswelt.de and architects Going on vacation to Germany?

*️⃣Antinori Winery Architect #Archea City #Bargino close to #Florence Country #Italy #EU 🔤The winery is designed to merge almost invisibly with the rolling vineyards and hills of the Chianti landscape, making the building appear as part of the natural terrain rather than a separate structure. #context@simoderna The roof of the building is planted with vines, creating a continuous landscape that blurs the boundary between architecture and the surrounding fields. #greenery@simoderna The project was conceived as a sacred place of silence, where architectural space respects the ritual and tradition of winemaking.

*️⃣The Geisel Library Architect #Pereira #WilliamPereira City #SanDiego Country #USA #NA 🔤The building was designed in the late 1960s by William Pereira & Associates. Considering the location, Pereira originally conceived of a spherical building resting atop a pedestal, with the structural elements on the inside. After several drafts of this ball-shaped design, the structural elements were deemed as being too space-consuming, and they were moved to the outside of the structure, essentially resulting in the current "lantern" design. The arches of the building, in combination with the design of the individual floors, are intended to look like hands holding a stack of books. The concept of changing space influenced many other works, including the Seattle Central Library. Pereira envisioned that future additions to the original building would form terraced levels around the tower base descending into the canyon. The tower is a prime example of brutalist architecture. 🔤 Material #rawconcrete Function #public #library Feature #retro #cantilever Address: 9701 Hopkins Dr, La Jolla, CA 92093, United States Google street Aerial google street Close google street Interior google street Google earth ©️ pics by Maciek Lulko, Archeyes and Flickr text by Architectuul, Archeyes and Wikiarquitectura

*️⃣ACROS centre Architect #Ambasz #EmilioAmbasz City #Fukuoka Country #Japan #AP 🔤The city of Fukuoka desperately needed a new government office building, yet the only available site was a public park in the center of town. When news emerged that this potential new structure would be located upon the last remaining green area in the city, the citizens of Fukuoka erupted in protest. Ambasz won this commission by maintaining the original size of the park while providing the city of Fukuoka with a powerful symbolic structure at its center. #greenery@simoderna It is founded on the concept that nature has to cover the greyness of buildings, and the aim of the architect has been that of giving back to the community the surface on which the building had to be constructed. Emilio Ambasz commented that “the building is at the heart of a city that featured a 2 hectares plaza, and now it still has a 2 hectares plaza.” as the area is still open to public. #quote@simoderna 🔤 Function #mixeduse #public #park #office #entertainment #events Feature #retro Address: 1 Chome-1-1 Tenjin, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, 810-0001, Japan ©️ pics by architects text by archilovers.com and architects Put 📍reaction if you have ever visited the project in real life

*️⃣Henderson Cifi Tiandi Architect #AJN #JeanNouvel #Nouvel City #Shanghai Country #China #AP 🔤The Former French Concession has long put its stamp on this part of Shanghai, and it's obviously an honour for a French architect to design an urban space here in tune with its urbanism, its plane trees, narrow streets, and inhabited landscapes. "Between Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets, it was tempting to create a shortcut that would be an urban and commercial passageway, a sequence evoking vanished surroundings that have been completely reimagined and are new and modern; a high, narrow street that's covered and protected..." The exterior, in a greyish-beige colour, offers glimpses through the two entrances on Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets, of a surprising array of lights, colours, and vegetation. A shopping street on two levels, sequenced by overhead walkways and small bridges, is submerged between two flowery walls made up of rows of earthenware jars planted with different species, both green and coloured. 🔤 Colour #red Material #steel Function #residential #office Feature #interior Address: 31.2121, 121.4750 ©️ pics by architects text by Archdaily and Dezeen Find any mentioned building easily with *simoderna google map
