#Europan #E17 Special Mention in Makarska (HR) -- Rooms of Conviviality -- by AS: Izabela Slodka (PL) – architect, Olivia Leoni (IT), Tommaso Mazzega (IT), Andrea Paoletti (IT), Riccardo Roldi (IT), Nicola Russo (IT), Francesca Sordi (IT) – students in architecture "Contemporary cities often have internal spaces excluded from urban and architectural planning. The city of Makarska presents urban voids which have become, in line with the theme of "Living Cities", an opportunity to take care of the city by reinterpreting them and returning them to the community. The guideline of the project, starting from respect for the urban fabric, is the concept of 360° sustainability, understood as social, environmental and economic." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #makarska #hrvatska

#Europan #E17 Special Mention in Eivissa (ES) -- IBIZA 360 -- by AS: Javier Estebala Alández (ES), Miguel Ruiz-Rivas Avendaño (ES) – architects "The project studies the island's traditional territorial organisation techniques, using eco-friendly methods that blend with the natural landscape. Addressing the housing crisis, it adopts low-density planning with high occupancy, maintaining the urban amenities while preserving the natural environment in daily life." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #eivissa #españa

‘Do you fight against the water or do you live with the water?’ Dutch architect Koen Olthuis asked in 2023. With rising sea levels an issue the world over, architects like Olthuis and Bjarke Ingels are creating innovative potential solutions in places such as the Maldives and Busan. These projects form an intriguing contemporary reimagining of the type of water dwelling we in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia have practiced for millennia. But can they create a modern city? And do we have a choice?

Watching and documenting the transformation of Interlachen Country Club over the past year has been a rewarding challenge. Of all the content we created around the renovation, this series is my favorite. In the Fall of 2022, I got inspiration from a building construction timelapse and wondered if I could accomplish the same thing with our golf course. Over the next 6 months, I tested various software, flight paths, and workflows to make something like this a reality. I did tests for height, speed, and routing based on the layout of the time, but knew I'd need to capture the changes in routing (like the 10th green moving 50 yards). My goal was to fly over each hole once a week during construction, but each week presented a different challenge due to what part of the course was being worked on, heavy winds and smoke from wildfires (thanks Canada), maximizing flight time on each battery, etc. I ended up getting pretty close to one flyover a week but I had to make lots of adjustments along the way. I quickly gave up on the idea that each flight was going to be perfect and learned to chip away at optimizing each hole. I did my best to match everything up and trusted that I could do the rest in post-production. We used the footage in different ways over the summer for general course updates, but as construction started to wrap up I spent a lot of time syncing up all these flights and cutting them down into 1-2 minute videos. From there, Andrew Green crushed the narrations for us! It's not easy to succinctly describe all of the changes that happened in such a short amount of time, but he did a great job and really helped bring the final videos to life. We released the videos to our membership one hole at a time in our weekly Connections email starting in February and here we are a couple of months away from the grand re-opening! I learned so much about video production and golf course construction through this project and watching everything come to life has been such a joy!

#Europan #E17 Runner-up in Eibar (ES) -- HYPER-TXONTA -- by AS: Gonzalo Pena Sancho (ES), Victoria Collar Ocampo (ES), Jon Garbizu Etxaide (ES), Diego Sologuren Martin (ES) – architects "Nowadays, urban environments have evolved into dynamic entities. Consequently, we posit that no singular system or dogma can offer a panacea to the intricacies of a multifaceted problem. In our Hyper-Txonta approach, emphasis was placed on mitigating the introduction of new constructions and their associated, foreseeable carbon footprints. This was achieved through the revitalization of the extant industrial real estate park in Eibar, leveraging Hyper-objects across various scales." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #eibar #españa

#Europan #E17 Runner-up in Groenewoud (NL) -- Sub-urban Jungle -- by AS: Margit van Schaik (NL), Jesper Baltussen (NL) – architects "‘Sub-urban Jungle’ offers a design-strategy for the strong interweaving of cultural and ecological realities necessary in the current anthropogenic situation. It’s primary aim is to shift the focus from merely creating nature-inclusive buildings to creating environments that facilitate nature-inclusive life. To do so, it takes daily lived experiences as the starting point for its design method." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #groenewoud #nederland

Numerous European-built buildings in Asia, predicated on European-type plans, have distinct references to local architecture. Traditional styles continue today, particularly in housing estates adjacent to super-Modernist environments, such as high-rise suburbs in China.
