With his first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980, James Turrell will dramatically transform the sinuous curves of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum into one of the largest Skyspaces he has ever mounted. Opening on summer solstice, June 21, 2013, the temporary installation Aten Reign will give form museum's central void by creating what Turrell has described as "an architecture of space created with light." As described in the exhibition overview: "In Aten Reign, daylight enters

The Arts Centre is building where arts and music are conceived as a pluralistic context; a meeting place, a destination and especially, an inspiring place. The project underwent numerous revisions and

In recent years, patios have morphed into outdoor rooms, used as essential square footage for living, playing, and entertaining. This is especially true on the West Coast, to the dismay of those back East. (It just doesn’t pay to gussy up for three mere months, never mind the unavoidable rain in summertime.) Well-designed exterior doors elevate how a patio looks and functions. There are a ton of options: collapsible glass walls, garage doors with an industrial vibe, and the ever

The surrounding neighborhood consists mostly of apartment blocks that date back from the 70's. The buildings are large with enough space in-between and plenty of greenery. Because the whole area is built in relatively short period of time and not very long ago, it lacks the typical historic layers of the city center. Here the connection to nature is direct enough, the access to all city-

Free of clutter but filled with light, shadow and sculptural forms, filmmaker Matthew Donaldson takes you inside the minimalist masterpiece that Italian architect Claudio Silvestrin calls home. As part of NOWNESS' In Residence series, this video sheds light  Silvestrin's "reductive, contemplative, near-ecclesiastical spaces" that can be found across the globe – from Moscow to Majorca, and soon-to-be in Miami, where Silvestrin is currently designing a home from Kanye West that will undoubt

James Corner Field Operations (JCFO) and nARCHITECTS have released updated renderings for their competition-winning redesign of Chicago's 3,300 foot long Navy Pier. The slightly scaled-back, revised plans seemed to have dismissed the more "dramatic" and costly facets reviewed in last years' submittal, such as the floating pool and sand beach, to depict a contemporary "park-like feel." Highlighted features include the south-facing Wave Wall and grand stairway, inspired by the Spanish Steps in R

For this architect, there is an indiscernible line between art installation and building.  Alexander Brodsky studied architecture in Moscow, while working on art installations and drawings both independently and in collaborations with other artists. Brodsky admits that his career path was unconventional, that he felt unready to take on the responsibility of building.  Instead, Brodsky’s approach to architecture is through the lens of art: occupiable, room-sized installations that test spa

The new extension contains the kitchen and dining area and the entire facade was wrapped in glass, helping to pull the two,
