    www.archi-europe.com archi-news 2/2017 BUILDING AFRICA EDITO If the Far East seems to be the focal point of the contemporary architectural development, the future is probably in Africa. Is this continent already in the line 17 of vision? Many European architects are currently building significant complexes: 2/20 the ARPT by Mario Cucinella, the new hospital in Tangiers by Architecture Studio or the future urban development in Oran by Massimiliano Fuksas, among other projects. But the African architectural approach also reveals real dynamics. This is the idea which seem to express the international exhibitions on African architecture during these last years, on the cultural side and architectural and archi-news archi-news city-panning approach, as well as in relation to the experimental means proposed by numerous sub-Saharan countries after their independence in the sixties, as a way to show their national identity. Not the least of contradictions, this architecture was often imported from foreign countries, sometimes from former colonial powers. The demographic explosion and the galloping city planning have contributed to this situation. The recent exhibition « African Capitals » in La Villette (Paris) proposes a new view on the constantly changing African city, whilst rethinking the evolution of the African city and more largely the modern city. As the contemporary African art is rich and varied – the Paris Louis Vuitton Foundation is presently organizing three remarkable exhibitions – the African architecture can’t be reduced to a single generalized label, because of the originality of the different nations and their socio-historical background. The challenges imply to take account and to control many parameters in relation with the urbanistic pressure and the population.

  • Enjoying the Outdoors Since 1947 Vestre of Norway Presents Street Furniture with Emphasis on Quality, Innovation and Function
    VESTRE AT CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK 2014 Enjoying the outdoors since 1947 Vestre of Norway presents street furniture with emphasis on quality, innovation and function. The design is rooted in the principle of the Scandinavian aesthetic: products that are accessible and available to everyone. DATE: 20-22 MAY 2014 POP-UP EXHIBITION LOCATION: ST JAMES’ CHURCH GARDEN, CLERKENWELL CLOSE, LONDON EC1R 0EA Vestre invites you to visit our exhibition at the historic Clerkenwell site, which is the perfect venue to exhibit Vestre’s collection of street furniture and to enjoy the outdoors. We are delighted to announce that we will be serving genuine Scandinavian outdoor lunches. Vestre’s furniture is intended to bring something unique to, and cope with use in, the urban streetscape. It has to be usable summer and winter, year after year. This challenges the designer to create furniture that is not only timelessly elegant, but sufficiently strong and durable too. “The quality requirements for our furniture are tough and uncompromising, but not at the expense of innovative, playful design,” says CEO Jan Christian Vestre. He stresses how important it is to try out new concepts and a selection of this year’s news is part of the pop-up exhibition at Clerkenwell Design Week 2014: • Vestre BUZZ is a retro futuristic-inspired bench and table in circular form. • Vestre MOVE is a bench inspired by motion that is an invitation to take a welcome breather. • Vestre BLOC sun bench adds something more to a seating area: a place to Contacts: sit and be while soaking up some sun.

    Cycle de conférences «1 architecte, 1 bâtiment» “histoire d’un projet - commande - contraintes construction - maîtrise d’ouvrage - métier d’architecte règlements...” Nous avons souhaité lancer en l’an 2000, un cycle intitulé, « 1 architecte - 1 bâtiment » au cours duquel des architectes reconnus sont venus et viendront au Pavillon de l’Arsenal évoquer l’histoire d’un de leurs projets réalisé en France ou ailleurs. Ce cycle de conférence doit permettre au grand public de comprendre comment se fait l’architecture et de lui faire découvrir le métier d’architecte à travers l’histoire d’un projet. Les maîtres d’œuvre invités, français ou étrangers, présenteront chronologique- ment toute l’histoire d’un de leurs projets, de la commande jusqu’à sa réalisation et à son appropriation par l’utilisateur. Ces conférences permettent de mieux appréhender les contraintes rencontrées par les maîtres d’œuvre, de découvrir les liens tissés avec le maître d’ouvrage et les différents intervenants, de connaître les réflexions des architectes sur la comande et sur les règlements qui varient selon les villes, selon les pays. Régulièrement d’autres architectes viendront ainsi nous parler, de projets, d’échelles et de programmes différents.

Kurtatsch / April 2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ewoLAB: ewo and Julien De Smedt (JDS Architects) unveil a concept light from the "Alphabet City Lights" project In the "ewoLAB" series the Bolzano-based, international manufacturer of high quality lighting systems launches projects in association with artists, d esigners and architects and explores light as a resource at a variety of levels. At Light+Building 2010 ewo will be unveiling a concept light based on the "Alphabet City Lights" developed by JDS Architects (Copenhagen, Brussels, Oslo). JDS, the internationally renowned architects' office, came up with the idea for "Alphabet City Lights". The aim of the development was to design a lighting system which responded in both form and lighting technology to the demands of the project. The post is made from a simple, round high-grade steel section, designed to emit light from a large number of apertures. The light represents a new, flexible principle which enables the designer to meet specific wishes and to respond to the surroundings. (ewo_concept_light): ewo and JDS Architects are developing a concept light. JDS Architects: Julien De Smedt is the founder of JDS Architects. The office was established in 2006.

  • Bjarke Ingels Is the Founding Architect of Big (Big.Dk), Which Was Established in 2006, and Has Offices in New York and Copenhagen
    WE LIKE IT couldBIG this dashing dane be the younger, sexier mick jagger of architecture? 036 / winq.fashion+design very young, very bright bjarke ingels is the founding architect of big (big.dk), which was established in 2006, and has offices in new york and copenhagen. his boy-next-door, goodie-two- shoes looks and vague naughty schoolboy glint has captivated the design world. a self-professed mermaid abductor and aspiring comic book artist, this young dane has thrilled the rather stiff-upper-lip world of architecture by displaying work that emits a new, truly organic feel. text: daniel scheffler n 2009, The Architectural Review said that Ingels and BIG “have abandoned 20th- century Danish modernism to explore the more fertile world of bigness and baroque eccentricity”, and that is the crux of how BIG has been able to create such interesting and inventive work. A step away from the inevitable manifestations of modernism that have plagued Scandinavian designers in the last decade, their main desire is to realise bolder and more daring work. There has also been an increasingly long-line of accolades, such as being named Wall Street Journal’s Innovator of the Year and being described as “rapidly becoming one of the design world’s rising stars”, being allocated a place within the ‘Top 100 Most Creative People in Design’ from Fast Company, awarded a Golden Lion from the Venice Biennale, along with two National AIA Awards, the World Architecture Festival Housing Award, a Forum Aid Award and the MIPIM Residential Development Award. Stay with us, because there’s more: multiple teaching opportunities at Harvard, Yale and Columbia universities, as well as Bjarke being a frequent speaker at Wired, TED, the World Economic Forum and Google’s Zeitgeist.
