New York en 10 Años

"(Jane) Jacobs’s vision was lovely but limited, with little room for new buildings, new neighborhoods. Rereading her arguments, one develops a sneaking admiration for the size of Moses’s thoughts. For the city to grow, it needed major change. Under Bloomberg, big thinking is happening again. What we have is a—some would say unholy—alliance of Bob and Jane. Exaltation of the neighborhood, coupled with the idea of building new ones from scratch."

Brooklyn's Flatiron?

"The lot is triangular and the building was designed to fit the site, not unlike the Flatiron Building, explained Dan Kaplan of the FXFowle Architectural firm, who designed the building.
Kaplan further explained that while the building size is taller than the surrounding “brownstone fabric,” it will utilize lighter colors to match the surrounding buildings. "

Post-Flood Architecture

This unconventional concept, by Dutch design firm MRDVD, envisions a school built inside a man-made hill with classrooms and other facilities protruding above sea level. The hill's exterior would be parkland, and the facility would serve as a flood refuge for local residents.

Engineering Conflict

"Architecture matters because it lasts, of course. It matters because it is big, and it shapes the landscape of our everyday lives. But beyond that, it also matters because, more than any other cultural form, it is a means of setting the historical record straight."

Red

"Cesar Pelli's third project for the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, the so-called Red Building, was conceived as part of the original site plan in the 1970s, and since then it has been postponed, redesigned and nearly forgotten."
"The project suggests an acceleration in L.A.'s shift from a city of scattered landmarks to a place where ensemble architecture will become more common, more noticeable and more important. "

The Tank Man

Tiananmen Square, June, 1989
The Tank Man

"Tiananmen Square, Beijing, the largest public space in the world, created on an inhuman scale. The monumental public buildings that line the edges and the vast, treeless spaces in between speak of the insignificance of the individual before the might of the state.

The atmosphere here is edgy. Even with permits and government minders, our filming is constantly interrupted. Soldiers, policemen, men in plain clothes, all demand our papers. The authorities here are afraid of cameras. They know their power. They have hundreds of them trained on Tiananmen Square, their cameras..."

Indulgences...

The duo [Tobias Wong + Ken Courtney] took McDonald's classic coffee stirrer of the '70s — more notoriously used as drug paraphernalia...

Ken: It was all born from my wanting to cast the McDonald’s coffee stirrer in gold. I was browsing around on eBay one (1) night and came across one of the original stirrers someone was selling. It described how the spoons had been taken off the market in the late 70’s by the McDonald’s corporation when they found out that people were using them to do cocaine. I called Tobi and asked him to help me find a jeweler to work with and he mentioned the Bic Pen cap idea. That’s when I decided we should collaborate and make an entire line. Pun intended.

Aerogel

Luego de que 565 me preguntara si era photoshop lo que suspendia a las aereo-ciudades...
Encontre en el articulo de Mildz que Saraceno esta interesado en un material que se llama aerogel, el cual permitiria que las ciudades-burbujas pudiesen volar con energia solar...
Y Nasa dice:
http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/photo/aerogel.html

-It is 99.8% Air
-Provides 39 times more insulating than the best fiberglass insulation
-Is 1,000 times less dense than glass.

Air-Port-City

Designed by Tomas Saraceno.

"My idea for an Air-Port-City is to create platforms or habitable cells made up of cities that float in the air. These change form and join together like clouds. This freedom of movement is borrowed from the orderly structure of airports, and it allows for the creation of the first international city. Airports are divided by “air-side” and “land-side”; on the “air-side” you are under the jurisdiction of international law. Your every action is judged according to international norms. Air-Port-City is like a flying airport; you will be able to legally travel across the world while taking advantage of airport regulations. This structure seeks to challenge today’s political, social, cultural and military restrictions in an attempt to re-establish new concepts of synergy.

Up in the sky there will be this cloud, a habitable platform that floats in the air, changing form and merging with other platforms just as clouds do. It will fly through the atmosphere pushed by the winds, both local and global, in an attempt to equalise the (social) temperature and differences in pressure. It will be a sustainable and mobile migration. These aerial cities will be in a permanent state of transformation, similar to nomadic cities. After all, gypsies never go back to the same place simply because the place is constantly changing."
