Day 7

 Sky House / MIA Design Studio

Hi people, 

I will admit, nowadays ArchDaily's featured projects are really boring, well, It could be that architectural practices are so unrelaxable to the reality. Addressing the actual problems is only seen in competitions or academic work, nothing tangible.

Anyway, Today's project is promising and sad at the same time. promising because the relationship between humans and nature is recognized and the need for green spaces is reflected in the project. Sad because the idea of the human need to create an isolated environment from the city is dangerous. The moment we lose hope in a city that responds to our needs, a city that connects us together through public spaces and to nature through green spaces, is a moment we lose our collectiveness.



Well, let's get into the project.

The project's main concept relay on dividing horizontally the building into two spaces, one for nature and another for human activities, and reconnecting vertically those spaces through slabs.

Day 12

Ternion Villas / Studio Toggle Hello, snowman,  hope you're doing fine I'm really not getting ArchDaily's algorithm of choosing projects, like how often they change the featured projects and how they choose it. Well, today I made my own choice.  After analyzing the work market, I figured that most of the jobs are residential projects in Arab bay, therefor I started seeking projects in the field, and I ended up working on designing a villa's facade in Saudi Arabia. After this short story, I think you figured out today's project. It is a villa in Kuwait. I need to get familiar with their design codes, So BEAR with me.  Well, let's get into the project. The project site that is located near the bay's threshold, is made of three villas. the main design criteria are creating introverted climate-controlled spaces. The masses are divided according to the wind, sun, and view. The living spaces like the kitchen and the living room are located on the ground floor arou...

Day 9

Friendship Hospital Satkhira / Kashef Chowdhury/URBANA hello people, First, let give ArchDaily a thanks note for their featured building today. After hopeless days finally, today's building is interested. It was my first time reading about a building in Bangladesh. Finding this beautiful hospital in a rural area has raised a small hope inside me.  Z. note : Today I tried an alternative method in reading the project, I tried to find the principles behind the structure, developing principles that are related to the context of the site and the function of the building could be really critical, but,  you know,  that is the fun part of the design process.  Z. note:  I used a more diagrammatic representation method today. Although I really enjoyed you guys my ghost army and although I started this blog for myself. The need for people's approval is pushing me to promote this blog by opening an Instagram page. Well, let's get into the project. The 8 bedrooms hospital si...

Day 15

La Cite Moderne /  Victor Bourgeois Hello guys,  hope you're not upset about me posting at 3 am. I know you've been waiting :') Today's topic is a little different, recently with a human organization building low-cost houses for refugees in northern Syria. the discussion of how the design of refugees camp should be has been around, especially with the same organization launching a competition for a new camp next year.   I didn't decide to join yet, but there is no harm with small research, Therefore, Today I started searching for a refugee camp, well there are very few ones. So I grow my search circle and came to social houses. hoping I will get to understand the principles of designing camps.  Well after a long introduction, Let's get into the project.  After WWII, the need for quick and affordable houses has emerged, especially with the wave of immigrants moving to the city for work. Today's project considers one of the biggest modern social house project...
