![]() © Kenichi Suzuki These days, we are losing focus of our main theme. Perhaps we need to include the surrounding margins when we address the meanings of virtualized space. ![]() © Kenichi Suzuki "...If our experience of reality is to maintain its consistency, the positive field of reality has to be "sutured" with a supplement which the subject (mis)perceives as a positive entity but is effectively a "negative magnitude." ![]() © Kenichi Suzuki The sire is only a few minutes walk from the Ohori Park, where the outer moat of the Fukuoka Castle used to stand during the 1600s. Today, the area has become community park with a perimeter of about 2km, enjoyed by locals as a place for talking, running, and cycling. The park is also a cultural region containing an art museum, Noh theater, gallery, and restaurant. ![]() Diagram Following this context, the first floor and courtyard were designed as a gallery the embraces the concept of "beautiful cars as a lifestyle." The house centers around the courtyard that features a selection o attractive trees such as oak, maple, katsura, and ash, and is designed so that it is disconnected from the outside world. The floor and wall surfaces that face the courtyard, however, have different angles in various places to transform and spread light. Various spaces surround the courtyard in a U-shape throughout the three levels, each offering a view of the inside that can be seen from the different zones. The surrounding environment is monotonous with clustering mid-rise structures, and the project has no distant views. The design emphatically focuses n defining the house as a distinctive couple cut off from the ordinary foreground, and to explicitly yet reasonably screen its environment. While functional, both interior ad exterior spaces of ANGLE contain fluctuation and variations in many places. Volumes eoxand, contract, and continue, and the project becomes unified, through the use of material and texture . The couple, the children, and the grandmother. Each member of the family enjoys life ; according to their own taste and style. ![]() © Kenichi Suzuki ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan
![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan âSpring! It's spring!â This was what we hoped at the beginning of this project the first visitors of the boutique hotel BomBom would call it. ('Bom' is the English transliteration of a Korean word which means the season of 'spring.') ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan Architecture as a means of communication People use various codes as a means of intercommunication or to embed information. The architect believes architecture can be a means of communication and the container of information. ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan ![]() Section ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan For travelers, the hotel is not only an accommodation but also an architectural place where they can share information. In this sense, we inserted the codes of 'ë´ (bom)' and 'spring' into the facade image of the hotel. The code on the facade is not just to assume the function of architecture with simple fenestration, but also to serve as a design element that controls the neighboring detrimental scenes, thereby making the lively image of Hotel BomBom flow in and out of windows with light penetrating through them. ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan BomBom as a shelter for travelers A tourist city where the ice sports game of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics will be held, Gangneung is a place that expects a new and transformative trend to be seen. The site is a part of the commercial area in Sol-ol Residential District, where accommodations and entertainment facilities are mixed up. The original site was a fallow land which seemed to wait for the buildings with similar characters to come up. This building seems to have a significance in its same functioning as accommodation but with a completely different image. We wanted to impart a sense that spring has come to everyone who sees BomBom. ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan ![]() Plan (level 6) ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan BomBom provides low stone fences and benches under roadside trees and the cafe on the 2nd floor where the hotel guests can have breakfast in the morning and communicating and sharing travel information in the evening. The standard rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floors, while the duplex suite rooms are on the 5th and 6th floors each of which has an exclusive terrace open to the outside in the urban center, serving as an open but also private space for rest. ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan Materiality and architecture The old bricks giving off the sense of warmth seemed to be the most appropriate for the image of BomBom. Amongst many kinds of bricks, I intended to choose the ones which express a bright sense of spring, thus using the antique bricks that can embrace the reminiscence of travelers. The brickwork was built in three ways: the stairways and the corner window at the ground-floor front were made with cavity wall masonry, so as to flow the light from inside BomBom toward the urban nightscape; the exposed antique brickwork outside the east and south balconies on the 2nd floor becomes both exterior and interior materials, serving to transfer the external image into the inside; the upper vertical mass was made with protruding brickwork in order to emphasize the sense of massing and the unique texture of bricks. ![]() © Yoon, Joonhwan ![]() © DBOX for Eric Parry Architects Eric Parry Architects' 1 Undershaft has been granted planning permission from the City of London Corporation's Planning Committee, which will allow the 73-story tower to become the tallest building in the London Financial District and the second tallest building in the UK, behind only The Shard.

![]() Faena District. Image © Iwan Baan From the architect. As the cultural core of the Faena District, the Forum provides a focal point to the neighborhood and to the mid-Beach zone at large. The ensemble of three buildings â the Faena Forum, Faena Bazaar and Parking-enrich Faena's hotel and residential components along Collins Avenue, providing a dynamic symmetry between the district's cultural and commercial programming across Miami Beach's main thoroughfare. ![]() Faena Forum. Image © Iwan Baan ![]() Faena Forum. Image © Iwan Baan The existing site presented three distinct conditions for the three distinct programsâ a large, wedge shaped site for the Forum, a protected historic art deco hotel for the Bazaar and an empty lot allocated for parking. Although the Faena District enjoys a unique location spanning two waterfronts, the cultural components were positioned on the quieter, residential zone along Indian Creek rather than the activated Atlantic beachfront. ![]() Faena Forum Section ![]() © Kris Tamburello The Forum claims the heart of the complex by addressing this urban context with two volumes that generate distinct frontages toward Indian Creek Drive and Collins Avenue. Embedded within the residential zone west of Collins, the Forum's cube and cylinder achieve the same intimate scale as the Bazaar and Park. The Forum's circular plan enables the public domain to expand, activating pedestrian movement within the district. A 45-foot cantilever allows the landscaped plaza to slip under the Forum along Collins, providing a dramatic sense of arrival. ![]() Forum Spiral Balcony. Image © Iwan Baan The combination of the Forum's classical dome space with a black box theater in the main assembly space provide the ultimate flexibility for the diverse programming of Faena's multifaceted ambitions. Combined, the full layout has the capacity for large scale events. Independently, the spaces can be divided to host distinct events, with dedicated acoustics and arrival. The Forum represents endless possibilities to host a range of events - from concerts to conventions; roundtable discussion to banquets; intimate exhibitions to art fairs- all within a single evening. Liberated from obligations to operate as a strictly institutional or a strictly commercial entity, the Forum presents a new typology for interaction, leveraging the ambiguous advantage of Faena's redefinition of culture. ![]() Faena Distric.
