That looks really cool but I can’t help thinking how the existing and contemporary architecture interacts without it looking out of place…

Tree-ness House / Akihisa Hirata
The building’s program is a residential complex and tenant spaces located in Tokyo. The site has a narrow width and long depth, allowing for a narrow profile volume to be assumed from the condition. In contrast to typical layered architecture which only stacks floors, this design aims to create an organic layering system. The design includes objects which typical architecture doesn’t count in, such as exterior spaces and the street to generate spaces that are 3-dimensional. For example, much like a tree creates spaces in the air, the design creates a tangled space which is ambiguous in interior-exterior for the people.
Interesting concept, I quite like it. Modern, cubic design as well. To an extent, I like my interior and exterior spaces separate except for certain common, social living areas…

The Vision of a Blind Architect
Design Within Reach - Magazine - The Atlantic
The architects stacked the tile samples out of the way and moved to a conference room. Plans covered a long table. Downey’s were printed in Braille dots, on big white sheets of stiff paper. Shortly before he was laid off, Downey had found a blind computer scientist who had devised a way to print online maps through a tactile printer; it worked for architectural drawings too. Meub would take Downey’s hand and guide it to details on the plans, as they talked. “He can’t just look at a drawing at a glance,” Meub told me later. “At first I thought, Okay, this is going to be a limitation. But then I realized that the way he reads his drawings is not dissimilar to the way we experience space. He’ll be walking through a plan with his index finger, discovering things, and damn, he’s walking through the building!”

Fascinating rare art form called “Petra Dura.” It has the appearance and blending of lines and color lke an oil painting, but is actually a form of stone mosaic passed down from generation to generation since the middle ages. I met the artist, Mauro Tacconi, while in Florence in September. He is a true master of the medium.
