Little Huts

Over the Christmas break I was blogging about everything and anything, except architecture. I just didn't want to be doing it. Since getting back up to Manchester I have got back in the zone and reinspired! My Architecture and Housing boards on Pinterest are busier than ever, and as a collaborative group our unit is sharing ideas and precedents we've seen. Although they look like little houses this is the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid by langarita-navarro arquitectos, who are speaking this week in London at the ar+d Emerging Architecture Lecture Series. In an old warehouse, pavilions contain workspaces, recording studios, conference areas and all are temporarial constructed so they can be moved away and reused. I love the use of materials and the green landscape within - inspired!!

Orange House

A modern, rust steel box sits snuggly in the ageing, red-brick ruin. The way just a subtle intervention has been made yet it creates a really punchy little building. Here are more images of this studio space by Haworth Tompkins.
