NH Hotel Group ha inaugurato a inizio gennaio il suo primo nhow hotel a Londra

Il design degli interni è stato curato dallo studio londinese Project Orange che, per questo progetto, ha lavorato sul concept "London reloaded". Tutta la struttura è pervasa da uno stile all'avanguardia e di forte impatto che trae ispirazione dalle icone britanniche per eccellenza come la Famiglia Reale, le vedute della capitale e la metropolitana londinese. Ogni particolare è stato declinato secondo un gusto contemporaneo e decisamente non convenzionale: ne sono un esempio la scultura che raffigura il Big Ben sotto forma di razzo spaziale, i tavoli serigrafati con rime in cockney – il tipico slang dell'East London – e le lampade a forma di grandi campane dorate, che ricordano quelle più note dell'abbazia cittadina

white flags for peace

the new decade kicked off with renewed political conflict between the US and iran. following the assassination of iranian general qasem soleimani, and iran’s vow to take ‘severe revenge’, on january 4th 2020, US president donald trump escalated tensions with a tweet that threatened to target 52 iranian cultural and historical centers

in response to this tweet, mohammad hassan forouzanfar has envisioned ‘peace’. the conceptual project, which follows the architect’s typical style, imagines white flags raised over UNESCO-listed and historic world heritage sites in iran, highlighting the importance of these irreplaceable buildings and landscapes. to convey his message, mohammad hassan forouzanfar has adorned images of iconic architectural sites, such as the intricate blue mosque in tabriz, with white flags that appear to blow in the wind. making a subtle yet powerful message, the flags highlight how important elements of a country’s history and culture can be caught in the crossfire between conflicting nations. in essence, ‘peace’ aims to express the significance of these sites and spread the message that losing them would be a tragedy not only to iran, but also to our shared human history. ph mohammad hassan forouzanfar

ZHA unveiled their design for the Sleuk Rith Institute in Phnom Penh back in 2014. The project was commissioned by the Documentation Center of Cambodia’s (DC-Cam) and was made to serve as Cambodia’s go-to archive for Khmer Rouge history and a leading center for genocide studies in Asia. Five wooden towers, inspired by ancient Angkorian architecture, were made to house the institute’s “cross-section of pursuits,” including a genocide research center, graduate school, museum, document archives and research library. As the towers rise, the structures interweave and link, connecting various departments above the ground level and uniting the institution as a singular whole.  project Zaha Hadid Architecture

THE CHICAGO ROASTERY

The world’s largest Starbucks is a bold statement for the global coffee brand, but also serves as a showcase for dynamic contemporary design. The new Roastery space opened in Chicago is driven by a narrative of local architectural history. Chicago is a focal point for American modernism – the buildings of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Bertrand Goldberg and Harry Weese are as much of an attraction as ‘American Gothic’ is at the local Art Institute. While their skyscrapers are evergreen landmarks, the Crate & Barrel store – that existed from 1990 until it was replaced by the new Roastery – was something that ingrained itself in the visual culture of modern Chicago. It was a moment of bold, appealing severity in an unbroken line of classicism on North Michigan Avenue with a glass enclosed corner cylinder puncturing the outer walls of the building. The American Institute of Architects’ Guide to Chicago called it “shamelessly transparent,” and likened its design to a man attending a black-tie event in a white suit.

75 is a house constructed on a hay farm in the Canadian Pacific Northwest. The house makes use of a unique technique of pouring concrete into fabric formwork deployed within minimal plywood rib structures, yielding walls and columnar roof forms. The trumpet shape of the columnar elements is hollow, allowing planting of mature trees on the occupied roofscape, and their differing height and position create a dramatic silhouette to the structure
