MARK #36 Feb/Mar 2012


From sky-high towers to bunker- like bungalows, we glimpse inside over a dozen homes around the world. Kimihiko Okada miraculously realizes a Hiroshima house ‘with no ground floor,’ while Lukas Lenherr stacked three different housing types into one solid block in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland. Meanwhile, architect Rudy Ricciotti pays homage to Jean Cocteau in a museum design. In The Netherlands, Erick van Egeraat tones down his ‘bling bling’ trademark for a strikingly monochromatic extension to the Drents Museum. We speak with Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter – creator of very bold, very Scandinavian projects – and visit OMA’s Milstein Hall, the first new building to open at Cornell AAP in over a century.

Long Section
  • OMA in Ithaca: Milstein Hall is the first new building to open at Cornell AAP in over a century.
  • Allied Works Architecture in Denver: A museum built to house the work of painter Clyfford Still is a poured-in-place monolith.
  • Mobile Phone Applications: Don’t have a smartphone yet? Whether you want to improve your workflow or just procrastinate in style, it’s time to get one.
  • Takeshi Hosaka in Yokohamka: Daylight House is so tightly packed into a space confined by taller buildings that Takeshi Hosaka very cleverly put the windows on the roof.
  • Ai Weiwei and Herzog & de Meuron in Ordos: The ambitious Ordos100 project, for which Ai Weiwei and Herzog & de Meuron drummed up 100 international architects in 2008, has yielded little result.
  • Sou Fujimoto in Tokyo: Architect Sou Fujimoto and engineer Jun Sato joined forces to design a delicate frame that holds a balancing act of several small storeys above and next to one another.
  • Jean-François Rauzier in Paris: An artist uses thousands of photographs to build unique worlds.
  • Suppose Design Office in Hiroshima: House in Saka is less shut off from the outside world than it seems to be at first glance.
