This haphazard way of approaching our environment takes no advantage of our ability as sentient beings to truly engage in eloquent, sustainable combinations of the old and new. Through engaging the question of what we truly value in this country and how that can be defined through architectural quality, we look at a series of case studies that have successfully expressed a combination between the old and the new. This thesis defines some guiding principles inherent in successful resolutions. It does not give specified stylistic requirements but rather suggests that the old be fully understood, respected and engaged as part of a final combination with a clear hierarchy culminating in a unified expression.

“HERE/AFTER: Structures in Time” Authors: Paul Clemence & Robert
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Book : “HERE/AFTER: Structures in Time” Authors: Paul Clemence & Robert Landon Featuring Projects by Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Oscar Niemeyer, Mies van der Rohe, and Many Others, All Photographed As Never Before. A Groundbreaking New book of Architectural Photographs and Original Essays Takes Readers on a Fascinating Journey Through Time In a visually striking new book Here/After: Structures in Time, award-winning photographer Paul Clemence and author Robert Landon take the reader on a remarkable tour of the hidden fourth dimension of architecture: Time. "Paul Clemence’s photography and Robert Landon’s essays remind us of the essential relationship between architecture, photography and time," writes celebrated architect, critic and former MoMA curator Terence Riley in the book's introduction. The 38 photographs in this book grow out of Clemence's restless search for new architectural encounters, which have taken him from Rio de Janeiro to New York, from Barcelona to Cologne. In the process he has created highly original images of some of the world's most celebrated buildings, from Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum to Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao. Other architects featured in the book include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, I.M. Pei, Studio Glavovic, Zaha Hadid and Jean Nouvel. However, Clemence's camera also discovers hidden beauty in unexpected places—an anonymous back alley, a construction site, even a graveyard. The buildings themselves may be still, but his images are dynamic and alive— dancing in time. Inspired by Clemence's photos, Landon's highly personal and poetic essays take the reader on a similar journey.

ÁLVARO SIZA Curated by Guta Moura Guedes New York — 24 September 2019 PRESS KIT A Bench For a Tower The First Stone programme is offering a bench made of Portuguese Estremoz marble, designed by Álvaro Siza, for his Tower in New York. The presentation of the bench is on the 24th of September at the sales gallery of the building in Manhattan and includes a presentation by the architect. After several projects developed and presented in Venice, Milan, Weil am Rhein, São Paulo, London, Lisbon and New York, the First Stone programme returns to this iconic North-American city - this time to present Hell’s Kitchen Bench, designed by the Pritzker Prize winning architect Álvaro Siza, specifically for the lobby of his new tower on the island of Manhattan. Hell’s Kitchen Bench is a large-scale streamlined bench, created for one of the most striking new residential projects in New York city: 611 West 56th Street, the first building by Álavro Siza, one of the greatest architects of our time, on American soil. This bench, also designed by the Architect, was commissioned within the scope of the First Stone programme, which has become a cornerstone for the promotion of Portuguese stone and its industry throughout the world.

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.

The jury is committed to the prize and the best. They are committed to the mission of the prize before any other. There’s no benefit for the jury in engaging in politics.” But as anyone knows, anytime there’s a group of people, there are politics. Since the inception of the Pritzker Architecture Prize by Jay and Cindy Pritzker, which was first given to Phillip Johnson in 1979, the influential prize has been synonymous as the “Nobel Prize for architects.” There’s no doubt that the winners are some of most influential architects from I.

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion Commission
José Selgas & Lucía Cano There is no budget for the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion commission. It is paid for by sponsorship, sponsorship help-in-kind, and the sale of the finished structure, which does not cover more than 40% of its cost. The Serpentine Gallery collaborates with a range of companies and individuals whose support makes it possible to realise the Pavilion. Serpentine Gallery Pavilion Commission The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion commission was conceived by Serpentine Gallery Director, Julia Peyton-Jones, in 2000. It is an ongoing programme of temporary structures by internationally acclaimed architects and designers. It is unique worldwide and presents the work of an international architect or design team who, at the time of the Serpentine Gallery's invitation, has not completed a building in England. Each Pavilion is sited on the Gallery’s lawn for three months and the immediacy of the process – a maximum of six months from invitation to completion – provides a peerless model for commissioning architecture. Park Nights, the Gallery’s acclaimed programme of public talks and events, will take place in Sejima and Nishizawa’s (SANAA’s) Pavilion, and will culminate in the annual Marathon event that takes place in October. In 2006 the Park Nights programme included the now legendary 24-hour Serpentine Gallery Interview Marathon, convened by Hans Ulrich Obrist and architect Rem Koolhaas, which was followed, in 2007, by the Serpentine Gallery Experiment Marathon presented by artist Olafur Eliasson and Obrist, which featured experiments performed by leading artists and scientists. In 2008, Obrist led over 60 participants in the Serpentine Gallery Manifesto Marathon.
