Slideshow: ARCAM Architectuurcentrum - Amsterdam, The Netherlands - by René van Zuuk Architekten

Published on 2012-02-06 11:00:00

A nice little building perched on the waterfront. It's curvaceous form is eye catching, and the backside offers excellent views over the harbor. Unfortunately it is overshadowed by its neighbor, NEMO a garish Renzo Piano designed Science Center. Tweet check out the main site here: www.talkitect.com

Video: New Museum - "Going Gaga with SANAA" - Great Spaces

Published on 2012-01-30 19:40:00

Great Spaces has come out with a new video highlighting the architecture of the New Museum in New York city, designed by the Pritzker Prize winning firm Sanaa. It is a fantastic design comprised of playfully stacked boxes. The simple forms are wrapped in perforated metal screens that give the building texture and complexity. I wouldn't draw comparisons between it and the pop star Lady Gaga, but that is exactly what Great Spaces has done in their video. check out the main site here: www.talkite

Slideshow: Art Gallery of Ontario - Toronto, Canada - designed by Frank Gehry

Published on 2012-01-30 11:00:00

Odds are, that city will be near the ocean, next to a lake, or have a river running through it. There are exceptions, of course. Las Vegas is out in the middle of the desert, and Atlanta doesn’t have much water around it.  There’s a very sensible reason for this trend. Most cities began in a time before cars and planes, so people needed water to get arou

Slideshow: Alvar Aalto Studio - Helsinki, Finland - Designed by Alvar Aalto

Published on 2012-01-23 11:00:00

Again, it is the introduction of natural light which captures the essence of Aalto as one of the most respected architects of the 20th century. Visiting his studio gave some insight into his design process and showed small elements that he explored in some of his larger projects to such fanfare.
