Kengo Kuma & Associates + KAJIMA DESIGN Crafts A Cultural Labyrinth In Musashino Plateau
A futuristic cultural labyrinth created by Kengo Kuma & Associates and Kajima Design, the Kadokawa Culture Museum is located at the Musashino Plateau site and was inspired by binary oppositions and the collision of tectonic plates.
An experimental digital approach to conceive a brick shelter takes more than one hand. It is also known as Code Bothy Brick Shelter fruited at Grymsdyke Farm in Buckinghamshire, hand-built using an AR headset. An innovation of collaborative research by Material Architecture Lab and architects Piercy&Company. Code-Bothy fuse digital technologies with traditional bricklaying, proposing a transformed vision of the future. In addition, heralding an opportunity albeit obsolescence for this ancient craft. The structure bases on a bothy – a classic shelter of the remote areas open for anyone to use. Simultaneously a traditional bothy incorporates intuitively simple geometries. The design…
The imagination of living in a shell explores immense concepts and philosophies. One such bright and elegant form is an egg. Designed by Yurii Papikian, OVOID’s vision and core thinking crafts a micro-home with a minimal building footprint of 25m2. The fundamental problem of typical compact houses bounces with the limitation of free space. A prolonged stay in such homes slogs individuals to feeling isolated and confined. The OVOID theory extracts maximum usage of the given area and affords a comfortable and healthy living environment. Based on an egg’s shape, the interior volume covers a small surface area, making it…

Creating, moulding and shaping material to formulate a design require immense factor checks. One such comprehensive material system known as Metaplas have dappled through the bargain. Breaking contemporary design-and-build methods into a model that merges design, materiality, structural requirements, and fabrication through innovative digital tools and techniques. Euston Station’s new electrifying canopy, visualized by Metaplas in a large-scale architectural setting, commences as a superior and dashing structure. The decentralized fabrication establishes identification and mapping techniques to scatter, recycle and 3D print within a radius from the site. Also, the fabricated panels boost the local economy, breaks the economic displacement and…
