O destino do bibliófilo é terrível: tudo o que toca se transforma naquilo que ele tanto preza, O LIVRO. Filmes, música, mesmo objetos cotidianos se convertem em grimórios malditos, em manuscritos perdidos, nas formas retangulares, divididas em páginas preenchidas por caracteres compreensíveis ou não. Esse destino terrível, contudo, reserva algo como um “plot twist”: ao transformar todos objetos em livros, extrai disso um estranho, requintado deleite — a transfiguração dos prosaicos e tenebrosos objetos de consumo em algo diferente, singular, cuja essência é outra. Mesmo que tudo isso dure apenas um instante, vale a pena. RARIDADES INUSUAIS, nova série do podcast da Raphus Press, celebra tais transformações. Objeto de hoje: “Metropolis” (blu-ray lançado pela Eureka, parte da série The Masters of Cinema), “Metropolis Magazine” (relançamento da Phantasm Press), “Metrópolis” de Thea Von Harbou (lançado pela editora Aleph, disponível em https://editoraaleph.com.br/produto/metropolis/).

For almost two years, a group of neighbors out in Churchill have been fighting a Goliath. The retail giant Amazon has been lobbying to bulldoze the old Westinghouse Research & Technology Park to build a new distribution facility, bringing jobs but also trucking traffic to the largely residential borough. Officials now say that's over — that Amazon will look elsewhere — but residents and developers are still expected in court on Thursday to make their case. Senior producer Megan Harris is with vocal Churchill Future member Cathy Bordner to talk about why she's skeptical and what may come next. The 150-acre Westinghouse campus is considered an important example of postwar corporate architecture. Metropolis Magazine asks, can it be saved? https://metropolismag.com/viewpoints/westinghouse-research-development-som/ And Preservation Pittsburgh is watching. Check out their piece from late last year that discusses its merit for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places: https://docomomo-us.org/news/you-can-be-sure-if-its-westinghouse Our newsletter is fresh daily at 6 a.m. Sign up here.

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Acervo revisto de hoje: A utopia da reprodução perfeita Obras citadas: “Spectropia”, de J. H. Brown; “Metropolis Magazine”; “Der Orchideengarten”, pela Zagava e por Joe E. Bandel. “Spectropia; or, Surprising Spectral Illusions”, digitalizado (https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/spectropia-or-surprising-spectral-illusions-1865). “Der Orchideengarten”, edição Zagava (https://www.zagava.de/shop/der-orchideengarten) “Der Orchideengarten”, edições de Joe Bandel (https://derochideengarten.wordpress.com) Nosso podcast também está disponível nas seguintes plataformas: - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4NUiqPPTMdnezdKmvWDXHs - Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-da-raphus-press/id1488391151?uo=4 - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xMDlmZmVjNC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw%3D%3D Apoie o canal: https://apoia.se/podcastdaraphus.

The Building Science Podcast got a couple of Press Passes and went to New York City last week for the AIA Conference on Architecture, 2018. What an incredible conference it was! We had the opportunity to connect with so many thoughtful and visionary architects who want to build a better, healthier future. We're psyched. One of the most thoughtful conversations we had was with Corey Squire and Tate Walker about the new Committee On The Environment's new Toolkit. It's a resource-rich document that helps firms and projects of any kind measure their progress against benchmarks of sustainability without restrictive prescription pathways, while keeping outcomes at the central focus.COREY SQUIRELEED AP O+MSustainability Process Manager, Lake|Flato ArchitectsCorey works with all Lake|Flato teams to establish sustainability goals, analyze designs with simulation software, and collects post-occupancy performance data.

The 115,000 square foot, $52 million project will be an anchor building on campus, incorporating innovative site, water, advanced materials and daylighting components to support a unique, sustainable experience for its users.About The Committee On The EnvironmentCOTE MissionThe Committee on the Environment (COTE) works to advance, disseminate, and advocate—to the profession, the building industry, the academy, and the public—design practices that integrate built and natural systems and enhance both the design quality and environmental performance of the built environment. COTE serves as the community and voice on behalf of AIA architects regarding sustainable design and building science and performance.COTE reflects the profession’s commitment to provide healthy and safe environments for people and is dedicated to preserving the earth’s capability of sustaining a shared high quality of life. The committee’s mission is to lead and coordinate the profession’s involvement in environmental and energy-related issues and to promote the role of the architect as a leader in preserving and protecting the planet and its living systems.COTE provides the AIA with knowledge about environmental issues and advises the Institute on environmental policy matters affecting the practice of architecture. The committee supports cooperation with educators and institutions of learning, manufacturers, government agencies, environmental organizations, and industry groups in advancing environmentally sound design processes and standards as well as environmentally innovative materials and integrated systems.COTE Goals-To advance the importance of sustainable design to our fellow architects, within the Institute, and to the broader public.-To educate architects about the environmental and energy-related impacts of design decisions & about how to incorporate sustainable design into daily practice.-To define and promote the cutting edge of sustainable design for our profession.-To foster leadership among architects in all facets of environmental decision making.-To recognize environmental leadership of architects in practice, education, industry, and government.-To influence the direction of architectural education to place more emphasis on ecological literacy , sustainable design and building science-To maintain, refine, and strengthen alliances with professional and trade associations and other leaders in environmentally responsible design to coordinate our sustainable agendas to make our message stronger.-To maintain, refine, and strengthen alliances with other AIA Knowledge Communities and committees, and serve as a resource to Institute initiatives and projects that promote sustainability in the built environment.-To green AIA convention venues and meetings.-To communicate the AIA’s environmental and energy-related concerns to the public and private sectors and influence the decisions of the public, professionals, clients, and public officials on the impact of their environmental and energy-related decisions.-To educate architects on regulatory, performance, technical and building science issues and how those issues influence architecture. Educate the architectural profession on programming, designing, and managing building performance.-To investigate and disseminate information regarding building performance best practices, criteria, measurement methods, planning tools, occupant-comfort, heat/air/moisture interfaces between the interior and exterior of buildings.-To promote a more integrated practice in order to achieve environmentally and economically efficient buildings. One of the tools we will plan to promote to achieve this integration is Building Information Technology (BIM).COTE Toolkit Please check out this resource rich document.

The first book to outline principles for the aesthetics of sustainable design, The Shape of Green argues that beauty is inherent to sustainability, for how things look and feel is as important as how they’re made.In addition to examining what makes something attractive or emotionally pleasing, Hosey connects these questions with practical design challenges. Can the shape of a car make it more aerodynamic and more attractive at the same time? Could buildings be constructed of porous materials that simultaneously clean the air and soothe the skin? Can cities become verdant, productive landscapes instead of wastelands of concrete?Drawing from a wealth of scientific research, Hosey demonstrates that form and image can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could revolutionize every aspect of design, in substance and in style. Aesthetic attraction isn’t a superficial concern — it’s an environmental imperative. Beauty could save the planet.The Last Auto MechanicGreat blog post by Tom Price (renewable energy entrepreneur. A-EV cheerleader. Founder Black Rock Solar.

Launched in 1997, the annual awards are the profession’s longest-running and “best known recognition program for sustainable design excellence,” according to the AIA.Biophilic Design Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing the places where we live, work, and learn. We need nature in a deep and fundamental fashion, but we have often designed our cities and suburbs in ways that both degrade the environment and alienate us from nature. The recent trend in green architecture has decreased the environmental impact of the built environment, but it has accomplished little in the way of reconnecting us to the natural world, the missing piece in the puzzle of sustainable development. Come on a journey from our evolutionary past and the origins of architecture to the world’s most celebrated buildings in a search for the architecture of life. Together, we will encounter buildings that connect people and nature - hospitals where patients heal faster, schools where children’s test scores are higher, offices where workers are more productive, and communities where people know more of their neighbors and families thrive. Biophilic Design points the way toward creating healthy and productive habitats for modern humans.Architecture 2030Edward Mazria, FAIA, Hon.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ScreenShot2018-03-15at3.01.46PM.png ()The Girl UNinterrupted Project with Juliet Chun & Zhanina Boyadzhieva These two young, emerging architects have decided to take the lead in the profession and build a powerful resource that informs and empowers other emerging professionals. Hear what can happen when two women refuse to allow anything to block their way to success. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Girl UNinterrupted Project with Juliet Chun & Zhanina Boyadzhieva. Background With a B.S. and M.Arch from Northeastern University, Juliet, Associate AIA, joined Leers Weinzapfel Associates in 2008 and has worked on a diversity of projects such as Ohio State University East Regional Chilled Water Plant and the UMass Design Building. She has taught at the Boston Architectural College as a studio instructor and thesis advisor and has been a guest critic for various institutions including Wentworth Institute of Technology, Mass Art College of Art and Design, and Pratt University. Originally from Bulgaria, Zhanina, Associate AIA, received her MArch from Harvard GSD and a BA from Mount Holyoke College. She joined Leers Weinzapfel Associates in 2014 and has worked on variety of academic and infrastructure projects: Condorcet Campus Competition, UMass Design Building and currently Harvard Allston Energy Facility Plant. Zhanina is an active member of WID and Culture NOW. She has taught at Boston Architectural College and has been a guest critic at Harvard GSD, Northeastern, Wentworth, Mount Holyoke College and Kuwait University. Zhanina is an avid world traveler and an occasional writer with work published at TEDx Bulgaria, Metropolis Magazine, Oculus, Dnevnik, Ureport and SciencexArt. Together, they are the cofounders of https://www.girluninterruptedproject.com (The Girl UNInterrupted Project) which seeks to bridge the gap between young female designers and leaders in the architectural field. Juliet’s Origin Story Juliet didn’t know she wanted to be an architect until she was in college. She grew up in Tampa and attended Northeastern because of her love for the city of Boston. At the end of her freshman year, her advisor encouraged her to pick a major. She decided on architecture and loved everything about her experience through school. Northeastern does a coop program, so Juliet had the opportunity to do a coop with Leers Weinzapfel Associates. There she was able to get her foot in the door to return full time after graduation. Zhanina’s Origin Story Zhanina was always interested in the arts and tended to be good at math, systems and organizations. In Bulgaria, when applying for college, you tend to know what you want to study right away because of the technical nature of the programs. She was always searching for a school with a big population of international students and an architecture program. She also works at Leers Weinzapfel Associates, where she connected with Juliet. Where did the name “Girl UNinterrupted” come from? The name comes from the unique environments that haven’t interrupted them. Both Juliet and Zhanina have been lucky to be in places that allow them to grow. How did https://www.girluninterruptedproject.com (The Girl UNInterrupted Project) start? Both Juliet and Zhanina work at Leers Weinzapfel Associates Architects, a firm that was started in the 1980s by Andrea Leers and Jane Weinzapfel. Last year, Andrea and Jane were nominated for an award that brought them to London for the ceremony and, when they returned, they brought a copy of the Architecture Review Magazine that focused all about the history of women in architecture. On Women’s Day, they had an office-wide lunch to discuss any general observations about equity of the architecture field. Juliet and Zhanina were quite shocked to see the statistics due to the incredible support that they’ve always felt at...

Michael Holt and Marissa Looby present the work of several internationally acclaimed architects using discrete elements as a portal for examination. In effect, the portal creates a feedback loop between its typology within architecture to the point of origin: the singular element. The element – as a relatively small manifestation – can be the tool to devise solutions to the largest of problems: theoretical, architectural, or even metropolitan. MICHAEL HOLT is currently the editor for Architectural Review Asia Pacific, based in Sydney. Previously, he was a practising architect in New York, USA. He is a graduate of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University. Alongside his editorship, Michael contributes to Editoriale Domus, Metropolis Magazine, Blueprint Magazine (UK), Columbia Univeristy’s C-Lab and BI Blog. MARISSA LOOBY is an architect and architectural writer. She is a graduate of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University. She contributes to Editoriale Domus, Metropolis Magazine, Blueprint Magazine, Architecture Australia, and Architectural Review Asia Pacific.

DESIGN FOR THE REAL WORLD: THE SKATEBOARD: Philip Nobel writes about architecture and has a column in Metropolis Magazine. Lately he's been obsessing over skateboards, specifically long boards, a sleek update to the wide "trick" oriented boards popular in the 80s and 90s. "I was never a skate rat," Nobel says, "I'm coming to this as a proto middle aged newbie poser."
