Around Le Corbusier's palette by Studio Kulis | Living space

Architonic

<p>The whole concept of the interior was based on this architectural solution, because this simple procedure inspired me to look for modernist works in old works. When I came across an old photograph of Villa Le Lac by Le Corbusier, I knew that this was it. The project of an inconspicuous house for the architect's parents was created in 1923-24, which is not a whole century after I started working on the project.

GHERKIN BLUES

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Flashback to 2014. The Gherkin was one of three office buildings I set about analysing with my BIM pencil around this time. At some point I was asked about sharing my work with a group of students and started producing worksheets with a step by step approach, partly to understand what I had done. These petered out at some point but still it was a great example of learning by doing, using Revit to probe a building or built tradition that you wish to

Moreton Pinkney, Northamptonshire

English Buildings

Small but significant Sometimes on a road apparently in the middle of nowhere, sometimes in the middle of a village, you come across small houses next to gateways – the lodges that guard entrances to the grounds of manor houses and country houses. They’re part locator landmarks, part boundary markers, part home for the estate worker, part of whose job it is to close the gates at night or, in some cases, to keep watch ands open the gate for those who are welcome to enter.

Canada has a new passport and nobody seems to like it

Brandon Donnelly

I love my Canadian passport. It is both a part of my own identity and my ticket to the rest of the world. And as much as I also love technology, I hope that we never do away with old fashioned passport stamps administered by grumpy customs officials. I don’t care if the data is being stored on a blockchain somewhere — which will likely be the case — I would really like a barely legible and awkwardly placed stamp inside of my personal paper folio.
