These utopic proposals for Japan were generated by a passionate and extraordinary group of young Japa- nese architects fueled by the futuristic vision to rebuild their nation.

Incredibly, their idealism would cross and the Metabolists’ first and only project would be for a United Nations social housing development in a place very far from Japan: Peru.

The twentieth anniversary of the Pritzker Prize and the presentation of the prestigious award to Renzo Piano made for an extraordinary event. Piano’s quiet character and almost solemn, bearded appearance brought an atmosphere of serious, contemporary creativity to the glamorous event. The great gardens and the classical salons of the White House were filled with the flower of the world’s architectural talent including the majority of the laureates of the previous twenty years. But perhaps the most significant aspect of the splendid event was the opportunity it gave for an overview of the recent past of architecture at the very heart of the capital of the world’s most powerful country. It was rather as though King Louis XIV had invited all the greatest creative architects of the day to a grand dinner at Versailles.

  • Glenn Murcutt 2002 Laureate Biography
    Glenn Murcutt 2002 Laureate Biography Glenn Murcutt is either one of Australia’s best kept secrets, or one of the world’s most influential architects. Perhaps, both. On the other hand, we should temper “secret” somewhat since he has been the subject of numerous books and magazine articles throughout the world. One of the first definitive works was Glenn Murcutt Works and Projects by Françoise Fromonot, first published in 1995. In that book, she describes Murcutt as the “first Australian architect whose work has attracted international attention.” His relatively low profile can best be explained by the fact that he works alone, primarily for clients who want houses that are not only environmentally sensitive, but provide privacy and security in a structure that pleases all the senses. In stark contrast to many of his contemporaries, Murcutt has declared, “I am not interested in designing large scale projects. Doing many smaller works provides me with many more opportunities for experimentation. Our building regulations are supposed to prevent the worst; they in fact fail to stop the worst, and at best frustrate the best—they certainly sponsor mediocrity. I’m trying to produce what I call minimal buildings, but buildings that respond to their environment.” “I have had to fight for my architecture. I have fought for it right from the outset because councils have clearly found the work a threat. For many designs I put to council, we either had to resort to a court for the outcome or better, negotiate a satisfactory result, always trying to avoid a compromise. I have had the greatest trouble with planning, building and health department staff, many of whom have backgrounds unrelated to architecture, but offer very conservative judgments in taste and aesthetics.” What manner of man and architect is this who could so openly state his opposition to the people who exercise so much control over what and how things should be built? A look at his colorful family, as well as how and where he was raised is a partial explanation.

  • Recollections: Memory in Architecture
    RECOLLECTIONS Memory in Architecture A thesis submitted to the Graduate school of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture in the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, Planning by Andrew Vichosky B.S. in Architecture and Environmental Design, Kent State University, 2012 Advisors: Udo Greinacher Edson Cabalfin Ph. D ii Abstract Although architecture experiences the wear and impact of history, it is very rare that architecture is used as a tool to remember or forget collective memories. This thesis through the investigation of memory both in terms of psychology and related to our contextual environmental and through case studies that examine reused and new constructed environments have created a recollective approach to memory in design. Specifically, this investigation will explore multiple sites within the river basin region of New Orleans to expose the engineering marvels that have erased and act in constant conflict with the geography. iii Abstract iv Preface Everything in our contextual environment is grounded in a perspective of memory. Often memory is thought of as a residue or as an afterthought, however it is a driver for the orientation in which we live. In the development of this thesis, its roots began in the interest of the reuse of buildings and the unique material juxtaposition that occurs as these spaces can be adapted to express memory, place, and the continuum of time. Because of this interest many of the typologies throughout this thesis run in the same vein as adaptive reuse.

Bangalore The workshop is conducted by two of the Masterclass tutors, Richard Leplastrier and Peter Stutchbury, both accomplished teachers, practitioners and Australian Institute of Architects Gold present Medal recipients. Dr. B.V. Doshi will join the Workshop on the last two days for the final reviews and lectures. For the 2015 workshop, participants will be invited to study the the edges of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and suggest ways in which to negotiate the chaotic urban environ- bangalore ment on the street with the serene quality of the campus. The aim is to attempt a bridge both physically (through architectural workshop and programmatic ideas) and metaphorically between these two contrasting conditions. Though known internationally as a 2015 premier academic institution, IIMB is isolated from its immediate context and offers no opportunity for a dialogue. It is the hope that through the workshop one begins to find a way to have the Institute engage with the city and vice versa. This also offers a real opportunity to address the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and commercialism - how these edges are treated will hopefully offer clues for how ‘quality’ could find its way back into our street- scapes.
