Day 33

Vigna Maggiore / Orma Architettura

Hello strangers,
Are we friends yet. 

For new followers, let get something straight, this part of the blog is dedicated to my daily nagging habit, if you want, you can skip immediately to the project. Today's project is a spa located on Corsica island in France. A small tour through google earth made me choose where I want to quarantine for the next 7 years. Yes, you read right some studies are predicting 7 years until life get back to normal :(

Corsica everybody!


The site takes place upon the hillside, facing the mediterranean sea and surrounded by farming lands and olive trees. I draw a little sketch to understand the spirit of the place. let's admit I'm killing the sketching game :')





In this project, we can acknowledge the client's desire to characterize the land through architecture, to create an artifact that blends with its surroundings. this desire is reflected in the concept to create an enclave that fragments the landscape of the area. 

The structure is made of two parts :
- The first one is a heavy structure, made of rammed concrete and contain the functions of the spa
- The second one is a light structure, made of concrete, creating a pathway that frames the landscape and organizes the open space. 

Killing the collage game too :)

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 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 8

Whitney Museum / Marcel Breuer Hello guys, Today I was so busy, designing a fence for a rich Arab, therefore I wasn't able to start yet, but I have already chosen the topic earlier this day, so let's see what can we produce at this hour.  Since I was a kid I never liked museums. The exhibited elements always made me feel sad, maybe because I come from a background of a group of people crying on the glories of the past, which subconsciously made me hate anything that reminds me of the past. Well, we will never know. Earlier this day, I was attending an online lecture about the center Pompidou, the professor reflected how in this museum the exhibited elements are not tangible stuff, but It was the different kinds of activities, events, and people that were brought together from different spaces in the city. Here we see a spectacle of the mass and their daily lives. What affected me here that the museum is not necessarily a closed envelope of lost moments, but more a part of our ...
