Frank Gehry's Jagged Aluminum Luma Arles Takes Shape in France

the Frank Gehry-designed Luma Arles complex as construction continues in the French town of Arles. The arts center, situated on a former SNCF rail yard, will offer exhibition, research, education, and archive space within a 46-meter-tall, aluminum tile-clad tower. ph Hervé Hote

Constructed from a concrete core and steel frame, the scheme emerges from a circular glass atrium echoing the town’s Roman amphitheater. The distinctive jagged form above the atrium echoes the region’s rugged mountain ranges, with glass boxes extruding from reflective aluminum panels.

seoul-based studio labotory has designed a large draft beer brewery in incheon, south korea as the face of ‘caligari brewing,’ a brand of handmade beer.

the introduction of the restaurant and brewery into the street of ikseon-dong was a great challenge and adventure for caligari brewing, whose brand image and direction is in contrast to that of the traditional korean style street. the name and image of the bewing company was created in homage to the movie ‘the cabinet of dr. caligari,’ leading toward dark and masculine interiors with a feeling of cinematic closeness and intimacy.

3, scrittoio ideato dall'artista Mario Airò per Adel-c è un complemento d'arredo caratterizzato dalla raffinata combinazione di materiali differenti: gambe in massello di acero dalla linea affusolata e dinamica sorreggono un piano a ribalta e, oltre, una serie di ripiani a vassoi realizzati entrambi in bambù chiaro; la superficie del piano, impreziosito da una fascia perimentrale in bambù scuro, svela infine un "colpo di scena" ricco di poesia, un globo che proietta un ologramma.

Fringe side table series designed by Ulrike Jurklies

The 15 mm Versato® Crystal edge sheet – especially when in bright light – generates a unique look and feel as the elegant colour of the material only really shows at the laser cut edges. The thickness of the sheets also results in a solid, durable and lasting piece of furniture. The occasional tolerances of the cast sheet are compensated through a simple mechanical spring mechanism. Through basic joining principles the need for tools, glue or other fastening techniques is eliminated and flat packed shipping is possible.

La nuova seduta di Jun Yasumoto per Colos si compone interamente di metallo, con struttura in tondino d’acciaio e scocca in rete.

Yasumoto è riuscito nell'obiettivo di coniugare linee classiche ed estetica contemporanea. Ispirata alle sedute per esterni in canna naturale tipiche delle terrazze parigine, Villa ne reinterpreta il metodo d’assemblaggio dei componenti formanti la struttura, con lo scopo di comporre singole parti per arrivare ad una efficace rigidità strutturale

Giorgio Vigna, Acque Astrali, Studio La Città, Verona

il tema dominate è l’acqua, elemento ricorrente in tutte le opere esposte: dalle Acque Astrali, sassi in vetro di Murano – sorta di pietre d’acqua con inclusioni d’aria sospesa che evocano l’altrove, alle Cosmografie, lavori su carta realizzati con la tecnica dell’acquatipo, dove l’inchiostro viene disperso in acqua creando galassie imprevedibili, fino alle recentissime Acque, ciotole di varie dimensioni in cui Vigna esplora le possibilità del vetro nella relazione mistica fra acqua e fuoco.

Irving Penn

Encompassing multiple works drawn from the collection of The Irving Penn Foundation, the exhibition will showcase Penn’s mixed-media paintings from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, highlighting the artist’s experimentation with materials, form, and colour.

Drawing inspiration from leading 20th century figures such as Henri Matisse, Giorgio Morandi, and Fernand Léger, Penn’s textured, primarily abstract, paintings deviate from the striking style of his photographs yet share in similar techniques and bold character. Penn’s paintings comprise successive layers, resembling collages. In an evolution of his platinum-palladium printing technique for photography, many of Penn’s paintings commenced with the artist creating a drawing in graphite or ink of subjects ranging from mushrooms to mythical creatures, which he would then photograph, enlarge, and print to emphasize his lines’ graphic style.

Akademie der Kunst, Picture Cellar, Pariser Platz, Berlino

Un piccolo gioiello che pochi conoscono si cela nei sotterranei dell’Accademia di Belle Arti di Berlino. Si tratta di una stanza, di una cantina per essere precisi, tutta affrescata da ex studenti poco prima della costruzione del Muro di Berlino. Siamo tra il 1957 e il 1958 quando un gruppo di ragazzi dipinge scene dionisiache tanto da far diventare lo spazio uno di quei simboli anticonformisti della Germania dell’est. dopo trent’anni di chiusura, questo spazio viene riaperto. ph Andreas FranzXaver

As part of the recent lluèrnia festival of light and fire in Catalonia, David Oliva of SP25 Arquitectura and Anna Juncà of Atelier 4 created this spectacular flow of lava using common fortune teller origami figures.

Over 10,000 folded pieces of paper were needed to create the work that was illuminated from underneath and further brought to life with smoke machines. Titled simply “Origami Lava,” the piece was affixed to an abandoned building in Olot, a town surrounded by dormant volcanoes.
