Urban Intensification: Inhabiting Billboards



Those massive billboards by urban highways have a lot of structure to them; one can imagine them holding a lot more than they do. Imagine if they were inhabited. Brendan O'Grady did this and won big in the Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation (architectural rendering) Competition. It's called "aeroform"


Woah!

House IJburg



Architecture from the netherlands

The house is located on a very small plot in IJburg; a recently developed suburb of the city of Amsterdam. The house is designed as a monolythical sculptural mass, expressed by contrasting introverted private spaces (that form the mass) with open collective spaces that seem to have been ‘carved out’ from the solid volume as a continous transparent void, visually and physically connecting them to the street, the garden and roof terrace. This strategy seems to give the house a monumental and sculptural quality that articulates a sense of stability, simplicity and permanence.
