Fire visual from @simes.illus called “The Maiden’s Tale" Great illustration made rhino, vray & illustrator! The Maiden’s Tale is a project based in Maiden Lane Estates within Camden, London. Maiden Lane Estates have almost been a forgotten area near King’s Cross and it is only a matter of time before the Estate would be susceptible to the topic of urban renewal by Council. The project aims to introduce a different method of acquiring a new skillset and continue to develop a sense of community for the low-waged families that live within Maiden Lane Estates. Like a bottom-up initiative, the project would propose a series of creative-class communal spaces that would allow the neighbourhood residents to use and learn the aforementioned skillsets. The residents would then be able to utilize them to future-proof their living environment. Check out the page for more!! Tag @archihoot or #archihoot to be featured.

Fantastic work from @rexastudio called Primitive Modular Facade The main idea inspiration by Malay Traditional Roof (MTH). The roof of traditional Malay houses is designed to provide shade and protection from heat and rain, as well as to provide ventilation. The basic design of a roof on a Malay house is the gabled roof, an extended frame with ornaments on the edges of the roof. The vernacular Malay roof is best suited for hot and humid tropical conditions. When comes to the 4 storey above what kind of landmark that people looked up to? Facade and building form that user will impress most. The facade had similar characteristics to roof design when coming tall building. To get the parameter of the MTH roof as a recursive element some rules are done by Dr. R. Embi. Check it out! Tag @archihoot or #archihoot to be featured.

Loving this competition entry from @lukexandersdesign for the ‘Reuse the Fallen Church’ competition 2021 The proposal aims to ‘re-program’ the ruins of Chiesa Diruta in Grottole, Italy through both physical and virtual interfaces. Whilst the physical building is designed to host concerts and events locally, the virtual acts a promotional tool capable of reaching audiences world wide. Brilliant check out the work!

Love to see this one from @yitao__z project called Parking Rectory Farm. The project starts as a critique of the typology of public parks and argues for a reconceptualization of ‘park’. Understanding ‘park’ as a verb instead of a noun shifts the focus from creating segregated and enclosed landscapes, to applying ‘park-ish’ spatial qualities to urban spaces. Rectory Farm is an abandoned agricultural land near Heathrow. In 2017, it was an approved proposal to excavate the minerals, replace them with underground warehouses, and cover the site with a new park. Questioning whether a park in conventional sense is suitable for the site, the project envisages an alternative to the existing proposal for Rectory Farm. A new landscape blends the three crucial elements of the area: logistics industry, suburban housings, and nature, and encourages richer interactions between the three.

Fire proposal from @popedanr which looks at London Clay plays a distinguished role in the rich architectural history of London and has now largely disappeared as a living industry. The Earthen Land Registry, a circular resource system, is proposed, producing new London Clay architectures using emerging technologies. Clay is sourced from local construction and engineering project streams, including the Thames Tideway Tunnel and city super-basements, diverting it from landfill. It is stored in the Greater London area, processed into tailored components including insulative extruded bricks, and used for on-site additive manufacturing. The range of proposals aim to heighten the sensuous and tactile relationship between the body and the materials of our built environment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ‘Earthen House’ typology has a protective, fired envelope with a long lifespan, and tailored interiors that are 3D printed on-site with clay. The potency of bringing new London Clay systems back to historic London Brick architecture is investigated in the ‘Earthen Blanket’ retrofit strategy, augmenting existing buildings, opening new architectural opportunities, and upgrading performance whilst not compromising the existing building or reducing its lifespan.

Look at the detail! Fantastic outputs from @kailokw.3dm from his proposal which is to transform the abandoned Bishopsgate Goodsyard into a multifunctional vineyard through a programmatic approach that calls for interactive and attentive exploration. The proposal intends to remind people about a forgotten chronicle by creating a vineyard to celebrate the site as a regionally important fruit bank in 18th century, as well as to raise awareness about hard times during the rationing, when there was shortage of wine, alcohol and grain, especially wheat. The proposal sees the site as a ruin, intended as an urban museum and a system for people to partake of rich historical context while protecting the existing artefacts and spontaneous plants, preserving the terrain vague quality of site, and creating an open-ended landscape adaptable to future changes. Rather than simply being a productive landscape, the performance landscape includes a stormwater garden and water purification device, contributing to the regional and wider urban context through experimental landscape interventions. The site is intended to act as a living testimony to encourage different types of users to test out different unpredictable possibilities or interactions simultaneously.

Mountain views with this one called KR3N. ‘C A I R N S’ by @dinu.architecture & @john.clayson_ A cairn is a man-made pile of stones, assembled by humans in locations of natural worth. This cairn recognises Everest as the pinnacle of what is naturally sublime, and acts to maintain its beauty, mitigating the deposition of human waste that is beginning to litter the mountain side. The easy to use, tactile system is transported and assembled by groups of climbers. The toilet itself is simple, yet clusters of them provide physical infrastructure for channelling waste back down the mountain. The project serves as a romantic analogy for the automated assembly of buildings, and its potential impact on architecture, in mitigating the digital discord between conceptualisation and construction.

This concept is fire! Great work from @projects.ws with this urban playground in creating a space for kids living off the streets! Check it out! The project will be based on sensing the place and creating a 1800-2000sqm Urban Room within an urban site located in the hearts of Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. Sensing the city means looking at how the city, public spaces, and buildings connect us to our individual and collective identity. Likewise, to create a platform to support the social dimension & to facilitate human interaction and their everyday lives. Tag @archihoot or #archihoot to be featured.

Brilliant visuals from @james.r.design from the project ‘Quarantine Dreams: A Long Covid Sanatorium’ The project looks at exploring and investigating a new architectural typology for a 'long-covid' recovery sanctuary. It takes inspiration in terms plan form and programme from ancient sleep temples such as the Greek 'asclepions' that used rituals of sleep and dreaming to heal people of their ailments.

Fire proposal from @oliver_thomas_hamedinger @st.f @fabinsky__ Check out their pages! Incredible outputs! An exploration into new agricultural typologies, better equipped for resilient crop production in the wake of an imminent climate crisis. the growing system, guided by a series of predictive algorithms, aims to create a new agricultural urbanism in which humans, plants, machines and bacteria coexist as newly defines bio-citizens.

Fire project called Hovering Gardens, Honoring Machines by @mattreger & @kiehlalex The project aims to look at both natural and mechanical structures as intimately interwoven systems through a series of cultural explorations. We can achieve this symbiosis by exploring culture as a tool to further analyze the relationships between both nature and machine. Culture surrounds machine and nature in different ways through a series of social structures. Our project seeks to reexamine this relationship and break hierarchy to better understand the meeting of nature and machine within New York City’s urban fabric. The reframing of cultural expression through hybridization and a re-conceptualized frame of thought will create a coherent and effective urban condition. Through spatial relationships we attempt to break down preconceived associations and explore newfound connections between existing ideals. Tag @archihoot or #archihoot to be featured.

These are amazing!! Brilliant outputs from @elliottarchitecture for the proposal ‘The Dalston Hub: A vertical Market’ The Dalston Hub is the beating heart of Hackney, run by traders’ activist, the vertical market proclaims a new social order and system of measure of trading in the expression of retaining and saving Ridley Road unique characters and culture.
