Re: Architecture
Funnily enough I've got an architect popping round tonight - I'm trying to get another few bedrooms and bathrooms added to my place. The previous owners tried to get permission for a number of designs, all of which failed - they ended up putting in a minimal proposal for two small bedrooms and a bathroom just so that they could sell the house with permission for further building. I thought that the planning regs had been relaxed in October last year, but the architect tells me it's not going to help in my case. I'm going to go for broke (probably the operative word) and put a full fat proposal in, then use my charm and influence (as seen on TLW) to seduce the planning authority into accepting. I remain optimistic.

Re: Architecture
It's just a celebration of architecture more than anything. The Serpentine is a small gallery in Hyde Park which exhibits modern art. Every year they ask an architect who has never built in the UK to design a pavilion. It's quite unique and wonderful, I love going down to see them; although disappointingly I missed Gehry's last year.
2007's was magnificent as was 2003's by Niemeyer but my favourite that I've visited is definitely 2006's by Koolhaas.

Feel free to PM your friendly neighbourhood planning officer if you need any help tho'. I've been a Development Control Officer for over 8 years so feel free to ask Stringy.
I'll quite happliy give you some advice on what is permitted development or not, what type of application to go for as a result or an opinion on whether I think the proposal will get Planning Permission.

I can view them on a PDF best.
If you have some contextual photos, they would come in handy.

Re: Architecture
To be fair Karl has come a long way since his early designs...,
so if you're looking for an Architect, you could do a lot better.

Unfortunately I've not been able to quite reach those heights again; difficult second album syndrome.

It's a beautiful set of books that really gets to the 'truth' of design and it's potential to truly liberate people and society as a whole - A message too often lost in a society which values style over substance.

Cochyn, I really can't thank you enough for recommending Alexander. Whilst developing my thesis project I remembered this and sought out the books, I'm very glad I did.
Anyway, not the reason for the bump. This is - Turtagro Hotel / JVA | Arch Daily.
I think this is wonderful.

karl.
saw that this morning, but it didn't elicit anything more than a quick glance.
it's competently done - responsive to the site/good use of materials and such...curious what is it that inspires you about it ?
i can't type much right now - i'm in the middle of a rendering and i can see each character as i type with a 5second delay. |

Re: Architecture
More than anything, it's simply this interior view:
It's simple and elegant and I love the form of the column/beam junction and how that's repeated inside and outside.
I also think the form is very interesting, I also enjoy the contract between the red exterior cladding and the snow.
That interior view and it's context just give the impression of a unique experience. It just seems a building I'd enjoy being in.

Re: Architecture
sorry - too much pine, fluorescent lighting, tile floors and big communal tables for me to call it an enjoyable/unique experience.
i know some of the roof pitches are necessary for snow loads, but i hate all the angles - i'm a miesian modernist myself.

It's the place that gives it that more than anything but the building seems to respond to it well.
