Musee des confluence project , completed in Lyon

Coop Himmel au – a foremost construction , architectural and design company has completed the Musee des confluence project in Lyon. The project has been regarded as a regeneration project and it is located exactly on the junction of two main rivers. The project features a wonderful museum where diverse entities were fused together to form a single dynamic building . The construction has successfully integrated several components of technology ethics and biology, and the structure has been created  to serve as an urban leisure center and museum. The structure will provide an active lively space for public assembling.

There are three primary components in the Musee de Confluence museum; The crystal, Plinth, and the Cloud. The Plinth is situated right beneath the entrance of the museum, and that is where you will find the main auditoriums, technical areas and the meeting rooms. Above the Plinth is the “Crystal” which is a fully-glazed structure and faces the town of Lyon. The fully Glazed crystal welcomes visitors to the museum , providing them with a cozy public place for visiting. Within the Crystal area , there are mountings of large panes of glasses as well as steel frames , and these facilities have some flood lighting to give the museum a perfect daylight effect.

The crystals have some contours but the cloud are in contrast with the crystal contours, rather , they are designed to take the look of a spaceship and are located right on top of the building.  Musee des Confluence has been designed across three levels, with several permanent and temporary exhibition  galleries inter-networked through a fluid circulation direction. The themes of variance for the structure have been established by the design of the exhibition hall. There are enclosed black boxes that alternate between the open galleries in the museum,  while the structure with the adjacent park has been linked through some external ramps and pathways.

The adjacent park, ramps and pathways are the components of the museum that form the Public square region of the structure.

Miami’s new Fly eye dome is one of its kind

Miami’s new Fly eye dome is one of its kind

Miami’s  new Fly eye dome is one of its kind

Buckminster fuller has come up with an extraordinary design of a fly eye dome in the city of Miami, Florida, United States. This can be described as a sparkling parametric model that transforms an ordinary architectural concept into a portable low-cost dome house. The Fly eye dome was unveiled recently in Miami by the famous Buckminster Fuller design organization. It is simple an Eco architecture with special focus on sustainable green building .  This is a patented prototype designed for a low cost recyclable dome house .

The initial home was designed in the year 1965, however, it is now being reproduced and installed in the district of Miami. The new design was unveiled by Buckminster fuller at the 2014 edition of “Design Miami”, it can be described as a 3d parametric model of Fly eye’s dome which allows the designer to place the building on top of a pool of water, right in front of the Sou Fujimoto Palm Court shopping center- a foremost and popular shopping complex in the city of Miami.

The contemporary technology used in the design of the new Fly eye dome will make the building more water-resistant, and will also ensure that it is completely ventilated. There will be no reliance on Carbon or any other non-recyclable components within the dome , therefore , the environment will be adequately protected.

The original building was first designed by hand by Buckminster fuller, shortly before he died in the year 1983. The conception around that time was to make a building that will be self-sufficient, and at the same time provide a low cost housing solution that can be sustained for decades. The architectural design comes with three different prototypes that were designed by hand, and each of these come in different sizes with large domed windows.

One of the domes that has been reproduced by the architects measures 7meters in diameter and this has been acquired  by Craig Robins in the year 2011( Craig Robins is one of the Miami district design creators), and soon after this, the Buckminster Fuller Institute had deployed a 3d-design group of experts to design the new dome structures with the use of modern day technological facilities. The 3d parametric model will be designed by various organizations, including; Conform Labs, DRDesign, and Goetz Composite.

The new Dome creators will incorporate new modern solutions into the design of the building and these include; the creation of a water-tight structure through the joining of different systems that can provide great ventilation. There is another Dome with  15meter diameter , this is larger than the first 7-meter diameter dome and will be the largest of the three domes that will be constructed. The largest dome is presently witnessing some touring activities, and real works will commence once the touring activities have been completed. The smallest dome is presently owned by Norman Foster. The Buckminster Fuller Institute hopes that the completion of the new domes will definitely provide a blueprint for other eco-friendly buildings all around the world.

A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior

A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior

What could be one of the most dramatic but wonderful structure is being designed in Poland, and it is a crystalline concert hall that has some prismatic interior. This is another sustainable and innovative design facility that will transform the eco-design industry. Barozzi Veiga, the Barcelona based architectural firm is believed to be behind the design of the new infrastructure,  and the design is a wonderful glass-clad concert area in the heart of Poland. The concert hall is a cluster of white quartz that is integrated into the earth. The building is also topped with some pitched gabbles, making the building appear dramatic in nature.

The Crystalline concert hall is believed to draw some inspiration from Szczecin city’s fragmented urban makeup. The city has some theatrical and prismatic interior designed buildings that can be incorporated into several other new buildings. Barozzi Veiga has won several awards and it has recently won the bid to design the concert hall for Szczecin Philharmonie concert hall in the year 2008.

The new crystalline concert hall will be completed wrapped in a translucent ribbed glass facade, and there will be lots of natural lightning during the day, within the interior. The whole building will use up some 140,000 square foot space, and during the day, the structure will glow with a bright white lantern light during the night. Barozzi Veiga- the designer of this building has said that he drew inspiration from the musical Organ instrument

The crystalline concert structure will have a 1,000-seater symphony hall alongside a 200-seater smaller spectator chamber. There will be several smaller meeting rooms around the main halls. With the inspiration gotten from the musical instrument –Organ, the building will be designed using the thin vertical elements and sculpted mass body inspiration.

Most of the interior parts of the new crystalline building will be kept as minimalist and white in colour. The symphony hall, which is the largest main hall in the structure, will be completed with some dramatic textured designs. The hall’s ceilings and walls will also have some protruding triangular angled panels. The ceilings will also be covered with some rich reflective gold leaf colours and design, making the whole interior appears more glamorous. The ornamental and functional panels were composed from the famous Fibonacci sequence where the fragmented patterns follow some increasing movements from certain distances.

The new crystalline structure will definitely become a prototype for many other halls that will spring up across Europe in years to come. The designers of this building have decided to create an ornamental space that will remind visitors about the classical tradition where Gold leaf coverage have provided more unique view. The Crystalline structure is located right in the heart of Warsaw- the most famous Polish city known for throwing lots of concerts , parties and opera shows. The crystalline structure is expected to host millions of users on yearly basis and has already undergone approval from the appropriate Polish authorities. Designers are already thinking of new upgrades that may be necessary on the structure.A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior A Polish Crystalline concert hall with fascinating prismatic interior

Outstanding architecture of closse residence by Naturehumaine

Naturehumaine has added some extra staircase into this 1960s model home to transform it into a more stylish modern piece of architecture. The home is a minimalist piece of architecture located in Montreal , Canada, while the new staircase has formed part of the refurbishment to get the house back to reckoning. The old angular shapes have been have been cut off the planks and the partition walls have also been replaced with new staircase that will emphasize some focal point for the new space created. The exterior of the building has been restored, especially with the addition of a new steel roof and dormer created for the bathroom’s upper floor.

The architects of Closse residence have placed new and large glazed patio doors to the building, and that has opened up the south facade . The Internal partitions removed have ensured that  newly installed lightning are able to reach every corner of the house. The newly constructed central staircase is made up of rolled steel with other materials such as frosted glass and maple veneer.  The kitchen of the closse residence by Naturehumaine have also been refurbished with a number of cool new features; the counter tops has been redesigned  and have been cantilevered at 2.4m high above the cabinets, and that provides excellent surfaces for dining, or when you want to transit between cooking and eating.

Several portions of the old Closse residence have been preserved, or restored and such include ; the fireplace, and that has provided great aesthetic appeal on the overall look of the kitchen. The texture of the materials used in the restoration of the fireplace has created some contrasts when compared with the texture of the newly installed elements. The exterior of the building has been repainted, while the old windows have also been replaced. The new and contemporary dormer was added to the roof where the second floor bathrooms are located. The use of some limited pallet designs has created some unity between the old and new elements of this home.

The large gable roof , used in the design of the exterior of this home has made it possible to use a triangle geometry in re-shaping the home. For instance, the new Triangle geometry makes the staircase even more visible from the outside of the home, and it also exposes the relationship between the house and the roof. The new L-shaped Porch, which is sported by some thin black columns at the outer edges works perfectly for the Interior. The brick and Timer walls, and a stone chimney stack all complete the design of the interior of the building.

One of the most amazing things about the new building is that the stair illuminate the dining area, while the main larger dining table sits comfortably in front of a stone wall and a fireplace located right at the corner. There are several panels of mirror located close to the large black framed windows, and these maximize the lightning down the staircase and the basement.
