Gregory Euclide is an artist who makes stunning landscape dioramas and paintings that I find to be endlessly inviting and immersive. … Euclide is perhaps best known for creating the cover art for indie folk band Bon Iver’s eponymous album and single.

CENTRAL LIBRARY ROTTERDAM 1983 | Open

Designers: Jacob Berend Bakema

In 1977, a competition is held for a new library. Two architects from Rotterdam fight to get the commission and the credit: Carel Weeber and Jaap Bakema. Bakema’s winning design is “open, inviting, centrally located and accessible to everyone.”

It’s a choice between an open, inviting building that would assimilate the city, as Bakema suggests, or the reverse, as in Weeber’s design, a closed building that would separate itself entirely from the city. The fuss that surrounds this competition has more to do with mutual intrigue, however. The choice for Bakema’s design is said to have been inspired by the rancour of a jury member, Aldo van Eyck, towards Carel Weeber, with whom he had previously clashed at the TH Delft (now Delft University of Technology). It remains a matter of speculation whether this is indeed the case, but Bakema wins anyway, and not Weeber.

The building is cube-shaped, with one corner cut off diagonally, under which is a glass ‘cascade’ housing the escalators that connect the six floors. The other facades consist of white parapets and glass strips. The yellow-painted round pipes for the air conditioning are a striking feature. Critics say that these pipes were copied from the Centre Pompidou in Paris and that the glass ‘cascade’ was used previously by James Stirling at a university library in Cambridge.

The location of the building next to the market, the extensive use of glass and the positioning of the reading room, which juts out from the rest of the building, help to create an “open, inviting, centrally located building that is accessible to everyone.” Another feature that helps to achieve this is the use of the hall, which housed the central lending counter, an information centre and a few accommodating functions.

Jean Prouvé 1901-1984
Maison Tropicale 1951

First a metal worker, then a self taught architect, Prouvé sought to implement methods and technology of the manufacturing industry in architecture without sacrificing beauty. He built a factory and produced prefab aluminum shelters and prototype houses for extreme environments.

His reworking of his 1948 Maison Tropicale is a masterpiece of prefabricated design that was conceived as a kit of standardized parts that could be transported by air to the French colonies and assembled on site. The lightweight frame of its vented roof, which has the airiness of airplane wings, sums up the aspirations of a generation of architects.

The ‘flat pack’ house which was originally erected in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, in 1951. In 2000 the house was found in Brazzaville, in a dilapidated state and riddled with bullet holes. The house was dismantled, returned to France and restored.

Jean Prouvé designed and manufactured three prototype Maisons Tropicales for West Africa between 1949 and 1951. The Brazzaville house is made from folded sheet steel and aluminium. For ease of transport all the parts were flat, lightweight and could be neatly packed into a cargo plane.

The Maisons Tropicales were designed to address the shortage of housing and civic buildings in France’s African colonies. Prouvé aimed to design for the demands of the climate and included a veranda with an adjustable aluminium sun-screen. The inner walls are made of fixed and sliding metal panels with blue glass portholes to protect against UV rays.

Although designed for mass production, the prototype proved no less expensive than locally built buildings and with their industrial aesthetic did not appeal to the conservative expatriate French bureaucrats. So the house exists as a unique expression of a radical architectural vision.

razorshapes:

Danish artist Eske Rex created this impressive installation. It’s big & powerful and sophisticated at the same time. The big pendulums make the pen dance over the paper, creating a mesmerizing image.

About the installation: Two pendulums relative movement and rhythm plotted on a large sheet of paper. Pendulum are set in motion by hand and then decreases slowly and eventually stop altogether. Drawing Machine is built as a moving sculpture, and a tool with which a number of studies of time , force and motion can be made.
