Day 36

Square of Traditional Crafts in Varaždin / KONNTRA

➨ Function: Crafts shop
➨ Location: Varazdin, Croatia
➨ Area: 280 m2

Hello Berfin,
thanks for your feedback.

Today I'm filling down a little bit, by this time I thought we would have more people interested in this challenge, but It's only me and you, my lovely imaginary friends. It's ok, at the end of the day this is a personal challenge. I will find another way to make it more enjoyable.
 
Let's continue...

Today's project is an intervention to the existing square in the historic city of Varazdin. The old city is a stage for the local craftsmen. Therefore in this project, the architects aimed to move the traditional crafts to the public square by creating flexible kiosks that can be used by the craftsmen. 
These kiosks are defining a free space that can be used for different events and can be considered as a pocket park for the neighborhood. 

Another important aspect of this design is the intention to create a modern response to the historic context of the site.

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...
