Munich Olympic Stadium by Frei Otto & Gunther Behnisch
- Munich, 1972
Often mentioned as a pioneer in lightweight tensile and membrane construction, yet overshadowed in the discipline of architecture, Frei Otto along with Gunther Behnisch collaborated to design the 1972 Munich Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany.
With the Olympics having already been held in Berlin in 1936, Otto and Behnisch took the second Olympics games in Germany as an opportunity and a second chance to show Germany in a new light. Their goal was to design a structure that would emulate the games motto: “The Happy Games” as more of a whimsical architectural response that would overshadow the heavy, authoritarian stadium in Berlin.

Poco a poco and Jorge Royan
- Documental realizado por el cineasta canario Miguel Morales en homenaje al arquitecto, pintor y escultor lanzaroteño César Manrique. 2012
Personaje con una personalidad muy fuerte y con una visión de la realidad tan pionera en la España de los años 60 y 70, gran impulsor del concepto de sostenibilidad, de intentar conciliar el desarrollo con la conservación del patrimonio natural.
En la película, se recuperan abundantes imágenes de archivo, en las que aparece el artista con su vibrante discurso crítico y de defensa de Lanzarote. Se recoge el testimonio de diversos colaboradores suyos, además de valoraciones de personalidades del ecologismo y la arquitectura, como el naturalista Joaquín Araújo y el arquitecto alemán Frei Otto.

Annandale House by CO-AP architects nominated to the ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards 2012 in the category of Houses.
- Annandale, NSW, Australia. 2011
Living in a line. A narrow site containing huge architecture!!
This house response to the Victorian terrace renovation brief that is typical in the inner-city suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne. The two-storey front portion of the house is retained and used as bedroom spaces, to which its traditional cellular plan is ideally suited. At the rear, a serpentine pavilion weaves through the site, slinking low to the ground with new floor levels that correspond to the natural topography, and which are barely perceptible to its adjoining neighbours.
- Sustainable values:
“Inverting normal conventions, opening windows are solid panels and walls are clear glass, providing a visual connection to the courtyards. Sun-controlled skylights along the southern edge of the house capture daylight throughout the year. The glazed gallery hallway beside the main courtyard captures the winter sun and becomes a radiant heat sink for the rest of the house.”
- Project Area: 296.85 sqm

Edgeland House by Bercy Chen Studio
- Town Lake, Austin, Texas. 2011
The Native American Pit House modernizes!!
The house like the “primitive shelter”, living in a crack that protects us from the outdoor weather, provides comfort, security and at the same time enjoy a direct contact with nature. Living and feeling the passing of the seasons.
- Sustainable values:
A sustainable house, impeccable climatically that takes advantage of the earth’s mass to maintain thermal comfort throughout the year. Such an architectural setting presents an opportunity for maximum energy efficiency when combined with high performance systems such as the integrated hydronic HVAC system.
Both visually and functionally, Edgeland Residence touches on architecture as site‐specific modern house and as an extension of the landscape.
High Line 23 building by Neil M. Denari Architects (NMDA)
New York, USA, 2011
The High Line has created new relationships between building mass and, in certain local situations, has engendered new forms of urban infill, far different than simple mid-block party wall scenarios. Where the High Line passes through the Chelsea Arts District at 23rd Street, one of these unique site conditions exists.
NMDA was commissioned by developer Alf Naman to produce a slim-fit, 14 story building for ground floor galleries and 12 condo-lofts rising next to the High Line. This structure is precisely shaped by a confluence of forces, that also like the High Line Park, are a combination of both found and implanted ecologies.
See a 3d model in the blog (design process).
