When architects visit a place or a building, we strive to grasp its "parti"—the essence, the soul, the spark of the conceptual idea, the inner fire of the design. Recently, I shared some images of the Bat Trang Pottery Museum, designed by Vietnamese architect Hoang Thuc Hao. Here is my interpretation of the building's parti, and this is the link to the architect's project page: https://lnkd.in/gsE88Yef

What does it take to sustain human life in space? We explored that and more as part of the “Life Beyond Earth” installation at the 2024 Xiamen International Design and Art Exhibition in China. The show brought together work from architecture firms, designers, and artists representing 15 countries and regions.   SOM’s installation, first presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2021, emerged from a multidisciplinary initiative launched by the European Space Agency to study the potential for long-term human habitats on the Moon. The project inspired visitors to envision future societies in new environments and to confront the challenges for sustaining human life in the conditions of outer space. MORE → bit.ly/3U2savc

NCNTP is a three-year project that started in 2022 and will continue until 2025. Bringing together urbanists, architects, and space designers from seven European countries, New Temporality originally developed around the large-scale topic of architecture during crises and unstable times.  New Temporality is a European project, a consortium of 8 partner organisations, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, together with the APSS Institute in Podgorica, the Barleti University in Tirana, the Tbilisi Architecture Biennial, the Berlin Coopera, the Pavilion of Culture Kyiv, the Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau in Dresden and the Lisbon Architecture Triennial, which aims to strengthen architectural culture across the continent, documenting, researching and valuing common temporary spaces and questioning the notions of permanence and stability associated with the spatial dimension of architecture. *The New Cross-National Temporality project NCNTP is a three-year joint programme among cultural entities and academic institutions from seven countries financed by @creative.eu #NewTemporality #Coopera

#OnThisDay in 2007 the UNESCO World Heritage Committee inscribed the Sydney Opera House on the World Heritage register, recognising the sites outstanding universal value to humanity. 👏 The building’s listing recognises its innovative architecture, engineering, and construction, described as a “masterpiece of human creative genius.” “Its significance is based on its unparalleled design and construction,” UNESCO stated “It is a daring and visionary experiment that has had an enduring influence on the emergent architecture of the late 20th century.” Central to our listing is the important balance of this building as both an architectural monument, and a cutting-edge performing art centre. To retain this authenticity, it is important to maintain the Opera House’s use and function. This cultural heritage value plays an important role in our efforts to contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future, in line with our commitments to the UN Global Goals – in particular, UN Global Goal 11, to recognise and celebrate the significance of heritage places and the importance of protecting the world’s cultural and natural heritage.

Very important last sentence at the end of the Torino Declaration of 1994, on the Preservation of the Art Nouveau Architecture: "When restoring Art Nouveau Architecture one should be more open removing later additions and reconstructing the original appearance than for other monuments, in order to secure the original artistic value."
