police have joined forces with guard from above, a raptor-training security firm based in the hague, to keep wayward drones from causing trouble. as the use of drones increasingly worries everyone from air traffic control and law enforcement to firefighters, netherlands’ national police have aligned themselves with a group that purely hates flying robots on principle–the bald eagle

il 4 ottobre 2016 ricorrono i 30 anni dalla costruzione della grande diga di sbarramento oosterscheldekering (barriera della schelda orientale), situata nella provincia occidentale dello zeeland. Questa diga, lunga 9 chilometri, formata da 65 piloni e 62 paratie alte dai 6 ai 12 metri, è in grado di chiudere completamente la schelda orientale in 75 minuti

for the 3rd edition of the public furniture biennale ‘forme publique’, located in the parisian business district la défense, compagnie des rues designed ‘la rue des utopies’, offering a moment of seclusion and contemplation to the users of the esplanade. climbing along the elevated walk, visitors find themselves nestled amongst the grove of existing lime trees. the concept here was simple: to offer a completely new experience of the city only a few meters above the familiar ground plane

residual living is an urban housing proposal by new york-based architect rafael berges that rejects the individual unit as the basis for collective living and instead proposes the shared interstitial space between housing units as the generator of public life. the cracks formed between units redefine the threshold between the public and domestic realm

adrian kasperski’s first impulse for choosing a future work topic was seeing one of the reports by fernando guerra–a famous portuguese photographer of architecture. the photos presented an almost unnoticeable building hidden in a nearly lunar landscape. after analysing the topic, it turned out that this building served as the cultural and administration centre of the national park of the fogo island in cape verde and was located inside an active volcano. the architecture of the building can only be admired on photographs these days as the building functioned only for a year. in the wake of a volcanic eruption in november 2014, it was completely destroyed. hundreds of people from the nearby village chã das caldeiras were forced to abandon their homes

installations

mischer’traxler has designed a kinetic light installation for the london design biennale 2016 as part of the austrian contribution. ‘level: the fragile balance of utopia’ fills a 40 square meter gallery space in somerset house, adopting the metaphor of a mobile for its utopian model of an ‘ideal system’, while simultaneously responding to the historical significance of the site. a delicately balanced pendant object is suspended in the room, reaching its maximum luminosity when in perfect equilibrium. every movement occurring in the space — whether introduced by visitors or unpredictable elements — transforms the light object’s shape and brilliance

art

‘peace’ is an inflatable sculpture by shanghai-based architecture firm slow studio. the work takes form as a hostile, spiked sphere, broken only once by a narrow vertical opening. here, visitors can break beyond the violent exterior, entering into the womb-like interior, a place of comfort and tranquility. breaking beyond the hardened shell, violence is overcome, creating a tension subjectively experienced by each individual
