TREEHUGGER
MODUS ARCHITECTS

Located just outside the historical center of the South Tyrolean city, adjacent to the Bishop’s Palace of Brixen, the eye-catching concrete building is the last episode in a series of “architectural homicides” dating from the 1800s up until the 1970s. TreeHugger takes on the qualities of airiness and levity in alignment with the site’s antecedent structures, which were dedicated to the welcoming of visitors, with their respective features of slender columns, deep loggias, and delicate overhangs.

WESTGATE1515
LORCAN O'HERLIHY ARCHITECTS - LOHA

Before Santa Monica Boulevard became an exit off the 405 freeway, it had been part of the famed Route 66, a near perfect microcosm of America Culture that connected Chicago to Los Angeles by automobile. Within Southern California, the wide stretch of roadway linked the hubs of Pasadena, Downtown LA, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. Joining the neighborhoods that sprang up in-between, were long stretches commercial corridors lined with strip malls, restaurants, and auto dealerships - an archetype of mid-20th Century urban planning. Along one such stretch is a district that came to be known as West LA, an enclave now synonymous with the near-constant traffic from the adjacent 405 freeway.

TOWN HOUSE
GRAFTON ARCHITECTS


An agora, an amphitheatre, an atrium, a square, a stage. All of these terms, charged with social meaning, are apt to describe the open space that lies in the heart of the Town House – the new building of Kingston University in London, designed by Grafton Architects. This multifunctional space is a symbol of openness. Surrounded by high glazed walls, it allows views into the library levels and the adjacent dance theater.
