50 Times Architects Really Outdid Themselves And People Celebrated Their Works Online
Architecture is meant to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes. When you look at a structure, you can distinguish these two ends but they cannot be separated, and the relative weight each of them carry can vary widely. Plus, every society has its own, unique relationship to the natural world and its architecture usually reflects that as well, allowing people from other places to learn about their environment, as well as history, ceremonies, artistic sensibility, and many aspects of daily life.
However, architecture is better seen, not described. So, let me introduce you to "the beautiful impossibilities that we want to live in", a subreddit dedicated to high-quality images of some of the most impressive (concept) buildings out there. This online community already has over 617K members, and the pictures they share are absolutely gorgeous. Continue scrolling and take a look!

Semi-Destroyed In 1979 By The Earthquake In Albania. Rebuilt Two Years Ago
Gwen Parker 4 years ago
It's beautiful, I won't argue that, but hopefully the new architect thought of future earthquakes and made this house more structurally stable so it doesn't happen again! That glass doesn't look too earthquake-proof...
Siah avis 4 years ago
Reminds me of kintsugi-the Japanese tradition of repairing broken things with gold. By integrating the modern glass into this building, they've managed to preserve a part of its history (the earthquake)
Joe Reaves 4 years ago
Yes, exactly what I was thinking. They could have repaired it so it looked undamaged but they retained the damage so it tells that part of its story proudly.

Urbany also pointed out the importance of smart home technology. "Anyone with a smartphone or voice-activated speakers, like Amazon Echo or Google Home, knows the convenience of home features that can be controlled via a simple swipe, utterance, or in-home video panel," the architect said.
"Not only are these features convenient, but many — including lighting and heating/cooling control — can reap real rewards on monthly utility bills. For architects, the challenge becomes creating spaces to house any mechanicals and the necessary wiring that goes along with them."

May be a little misleading. Yes, a single tree, but the tree was cut up to make the staircase. No nails used ("Made from the wood of a single oak tree, not carved as one piece, made and joined using wooden pegs not nails")

El Dee: you wrote "... But in a single piece? I doubt that very much.." What makes you think that? Have you done a lot of woodcarving yourself? My friend who is a European-trained classical woodcarver says that how it would have been made to be sure joints did not fail on stairs. I'd like to know more about your opinion.

Wisteria can also cause severe damage to wood structures! It twines into every crevice & can literally pull a building apart.
Load More Replies...Another important aspect of contemporary architecture is sustainability. After all, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global GHG emissions.
"It's no surprise the trend is towards creating more energy-efficient buildings, but also to develop homes that use, and leak less energy," Urbany explained.
"The pinnacle of this type of design is a net-zero home that literally has no net energy consumption. This is achieved by not only reducing energy consumption but by adding energy creation on the site, typically in the form of solar panels."

I'm from KC, and one other amazing thing is, this isn't even the library. It's the parking garage next door. The library itself is housed in a century-old former bank building with marble columns, massive bronze doors, etc. - very fancy and very traditional. This parking garage was built just across the street in 2004.

No, they don't change them. The library board solicited recommendations from the citizens of Kansas City, and then the board chose which titles to use. The installation was done in 2004, and is installed on a parking garage across the street from the actual library. The library is in a huge old former bank building that I worked in back in 1970!

Even if net-zero is too lofty a goal, architects are urged to implement as many sustainable features as possible. These include well-sealed building envelopes, efficient insulation, multi-panel windows, and energy-efficient appliances and systems.
TMD STUDIO, a London-and-Prague-based group of young professionals operating within the fields of architecture, visualizations, interior design, and research, agrees that sustainable architecture holds the key to an environmentally positive future.
"Only by living more economically with our resources can we hope to protect our environment and climate," TMD STUDIO wrote.

"By keeping the energy we consume within our buildings for as long as possible, we need less supply in the first place," TMD STUDIO said. "Using less energy to keep us comfortable means that we can become environmentally responsible and more resource-efficient, which are both vital to reducing the effects of climate change."
According to the organization, there are three overriding concerns when designing buildings with better considerations towards ecological impact: the first is the materials used for construction, the second concern is the energy efficiency of the building and the last factor to consider is the location of the building itself.
"The building might be energy efficient and use low impact construction technologies but this would not mean anything if the ecosystem suffers as a result of the building. A greater holistic approach to all of these design factors is becoming more prevalent in mainstream architecture."

As someone living in England I can tell you there are TONS of cottages like this. It's really unremarkable architecture.
Urbany said that housing multiple generations of one's family under one roof was commonplace before the middle of the last century, but after WWII, single-family homes became more popular, spurred by the post-war boom and desire to achieve the American Dream.
"Today, people are living much longer which has created a so-called 'sandwich generation' that's both caring for young children and older parents. Therefore, the demand for housing with features that cater to multi-gen living is growing. According to the AIA survey, the most popular features include first-floor master suites, elevators, and laundry facilities on multiple levels, all of which can be found in Dixon Leasing's extensive portfolio."

Lastly, we should also keep in mind flexibility. For the most part, families and households are more diverse than ever, meaning one person's need for a formal dining room is another person's demand for a quiet office for their home-based business.
"Homes and layouts that can flexibly accommodate any number of residents, and better yet, evolve with those residents over time, are especially appealing," Urbany explained. "For architects, that can mean creating spaces that are easily divided or expanded with pocket or barn doors. Designers can aid flexibility by incorporating consistent themes and materials throughout."
We might not be colonizing Mars soon, but recent architectural trends are giving plenty of reasons to get excited about the future of construction.

I’m sorry to bring the mood down, but I think the churches building displays of wealth and grandeur are a far cry from the communities they are supposed to help. Many of the most fantastic and expensive pieces of land and architecture around the world belongs to religious ‘corporations.’ That said, the architecture is amazing.

That pretty much sums most people's reaction to the architecture of Ricardo Bofill... Amusingly, he came to hold a talk at the Architecture University of Bucharest once while I was still in school and we laughed when he started waxing poetic about how much he loved the Romanian Palace of Parliament (formerly the grand-and-utterly-tasteless palace belonging to our insane communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu) because we thought he was joking - he was, in fact, dead serious.

From Wiki:The large complex of 591 apartments was designed in 1978 and completed in 1982. It rapidly acquired iconic status, amplified by its use as background sets in movies and music clips. It consists of three buildings: Le Palacio (the palace) is the largest, followed by Le Théâtre (the theater) to its west, and the smaller L'Arc (the arch) between the other two. Le Palacio has 441 housing units, Le Théâtre has 130, and L'Arc has 20.

Need more pics to make a decision. Looks like it's a semi-circle of apartments with green space on top. At first I thought it was apartments built into the side of a mountain, but I see a ledge on the outer edge. Am I right? Would have to see the outer wall to make a judgement on whether or not I like it.

Interestingly, glass itself is VERY strong. A solid glass brick is stronger in compression than a normal kiln-fired clay brick. It's also a lot more impact resistant. The only problem is, of course, the fact that glass is insanely expensive compared to regular bricks, so this must have cost a pretty penny... But then again, this is Hermes and used to be Chanel...
