Angry Architects | Dogs on you hotel

Human beings are not the only ones that need the best in comodity, wellbeing standards and a good architectural design. Dogs have forever been human’s best friend and in some way we have to give back to them what they have been gifting us since day one. Without any expectations or demands from us humans they have been taking care of us, protecting us and always giving us all of them. Since they are such a big and important part of our lives we have to take good care of them and why not give them their own paradise. Dogs are playful and always happy, always learning, in a way they’re not that different from our kids, so their paradise has to represent their essence perfectly. In this time we are living in standards have reached new levels especially in the past year where we had to rapidly adapt to big changes in our lifestyle.

These big changes though did not affect only humans, dogs were affected as much as us or probably more since they can’t understand the situation and for them everything changed without reason, their outside time got taken away. And also they too can get sick from close contact. So, since this past year has brought humans living standards to new levels we have to bring these standards in even for dogs, this way we keep them safe and happy.

As said before in Dogs On You the design has to represent the dogs essence perfectly. So we came up with a simple but fun design of the space. We thought of the architectural design and interior design bringing comfort, wellbeing and fun inside as well as outside. Dogs On You is a space where any dog owner can bring their life companion in and leave them there under the care of a qualified staff. This hotel offers separate rooms for each dog, medical care if needed, relax time at their spa, care and fun products for them to take home but more importantly a lot of fun and happy moments. The rooms are categorised as standard, premium and VIP but even though they are categories each room provides comfort, good hygiene and good care. What separates these rooms are just extras as for example VIP rooms have TV, a lot of space, acoustic insolation, thermal insulation, direct garden view and personal care-taker. Except for their rooms, which they’re gonna be in only at night to sleep or depending on the needs the dog has, they have space to play and chill outside and inside. The space inside is simple with a little greenery but outside they have different activities they can do and a lot of free space.

The backyard has a bone shaped pool for them to swim, different places around it for them to chill or sleep in the sun, a lot of free space to run, a training space to learn new tricks. In a few words for the dogs the backyard is their paradise as they can be themselves out there and do whatever they feel like. The place is surrounded by greenery, most of it covered in grass just so the dogs can be as close to nature as possible. But even though this is a dog hotel, of course, there are going to be people around (mainly staff) so the design of the space is not thought to be suitable only for the dogs but also the people taking care of them.

They have a comfy reception at the entrance, good standards for the vet and spa personel and areas outside where they can hang out, or have a barbecue while watching the dogs. DOGS ON YOU mission is making the dogs relaxed and happy while their owner might be busy or on a trip, so they don’t feel their absence as much. They can make new friends in their little paradise and enjoy a place made just for them, full of colors, full of life.

1550 Alberni Street Tower by Kengo Kuma

The design of 1568 Alberni Street is shaped by its environment. The 43-story tower is carved by two emphatic scoops that form deep balconies with wood soffits and decks. In both instances, the carvings create semi-enclosures that establish a connection to the street, to Lost Lagoon, and to the views–the building’s urban and geographic context–while facilitating neighborhood private and public views past the project.

Because of the way the otherwise orthogonal tower is carved, its silhouette constantly changes, creating illusory profiles of arching cantilevers. The reality is far more structured, as the carved deductions are diagonally symmetrical, the lower protrusions helping to counterbalance the hanging volumes above.
The tower meets the ground with two intersecting domed vaults that embrace Alberni and Cardero Street. Under the arching structures, an extensive moss garden defines the entrance and flows up to the swimming pool above. In keeping with Japanese spatial traditions, the emphasis is on the atmosphere rather than the object: without drawing attention to a particular point laden with meaning, the void elicits a serene visceral experience that could be shared by all.

HUDSON RIVER PARK'S GANSEVOORT PENINSULA BY JAMES CORNER FIELD OPERATIONS

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Hudson River Park’s Gansevoort Peninsula sits on 5.5 acres along the Hudson River directly across from the Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District. The site initially was developed on fill, allowing Field Operations an incredible opportunity to incorporate both ecological restoration as well as access to the water that wouldn’t be possible at a typical Hudson River Park pier.

Working closely with the community through a series of meetings and workshops, the design weaves together passive and active uses, including a salt marsh, a historic 13th Ave promenade, a multi-use sports field, an upland beach with kayak access, and numerous other park amenities and gardens. Gansevoort Peninsula incorporates habitat enhancements, which contribute to making the shoreline more resilient with direct access for the public. It will become the largest single green space in Hudson River Park, in addition to a large Whitney Museum art installation by David Hammons, Day’s End.

Gansevoort Peninsula will start construction in spring 2021 and is slated to open in 2023.

TENSILENCE | COMFORT ACUSTICO E VISTA VESUVIO AL RENAISSANCE NAPOLI HOTEL MEDITERRANEO MARRIOT

Nel cuore della città partenopea, nel prestigioso Reinassance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo, splendida location della catena Marriot, rinomata anche per eventi di prestigio, si può godere una ricca colazione a buffet sul giardino pensile e sulla terrazza Angiò, all’11° piano, dove il risveglio è ancora più bello grazie ad una vista mozzafiato sul golfo di Napoli.

Tensilence ridisegna il comfort acustico al Roof Garden Angiò

Una premessa è doverosa. In acustica la Riverberazione, è il fenomeno della riflessione delle onde sonore sulle superfici di un ambiente, ed il Tempo di Riverberazione (Tr), è la permanenza del suono in ambiente. Quando il tempo di riverberazione è troppo lungo, all’interno dello spazio le onde sonore si sovrappongono e si mescolano tra loro, rendendo l’ambiente non più confortevole. Una conseguenza evidente, ad esempio, è la mancata comprensione della parola della persona vicino a noi e con la quale stiamo conversando. Questo rimbombo viene poi accentuato dalla necessità di alzare il volume della voce per farsi capire. Ovviamente in una sala affollata questa tendenza produce effetti peggiorativi per il benessere delle persone nell’ambiente. Al Roof Garden Angiò è nata dunque l’esigenza di migliorare il comfort acustico di un ambiente solitamente caotico come quello della sala colazione, per offrire ai clienti un luogo piacevole e rilassante, in armonia con la splendida vista sul golfo di Napoli. L’intervento di correzione acustica Tensilence consiste nell’installazione di un soffitto teso con tessuto fonoassorbente Alphalia Silent AW di Serge Ferrari. L’innovativa membrana composita risulta leggera e resistente, di facile manutenzione e pulizia, per una installazione bella e durevole nel tempo. Il tessuto è saldabile e perfettamente adatto al tensionamento anche in grandi formati, come il Roof Garden Angiò.



GIOVANARDI, attraverso il proprio marchio dedicato Tensilence, ha messo a punto soluzioni che permettano di risolvere il problema acustico con materiali tessili performanti, innovativi, versatili, belli. Ed è in grado tramite il proprio staff di aiutare il designer, l’allestitore, il cliente finale, a scegliere l’applicazione più adatta e più gradevole. E’ stata sviluppata un’offerta di prodotti che possano contribuire al comfort in maniera efficace, semplice e veloce. Le soluzioni fonoassorbenti Tensilence sono adatte alla realizzazione di tutte le applicazioni da collocare in ambiente: trattamento del soffitto, delle pareti, dei tavoli, delimitazioni degli spazi, per renderlo confortevole e con un’estetica accattivante e adattabile a qualsiasi idea di progetto.

KPF STUDIO | Abu Dhabi International Airport
Terminal A

Dominating a key position in the global race for fast-expanding luxury air travel and transfer points, the new Terminal A will process 45 million travelers each year, with the ability to accommodate up to 80 million, to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding Middle East capital.

Conceived as a gateway to Abu Dhabi, the Terminal A Building is raised up from the road level giving the appearance of sitting on its own plateau. In this context the building is the dominant and most imposing structure on the horizon with a profile silhouetted against the sky. At night the building’s illuminated interior creates a transparent structure which is visible from the highway over 1,500 meters away.

On approaching Terminal A, the roadway system and landscaping work together to create a sequence of events culminating in a monumental civic space inside the terminal. Internally the scale of the Departure Hall, a 50-meter-high space rendered largely column-free through the use of long span leaning arches, endows the building with an open, outdoor quality, with the supporting arches visually separated from the roof to enhance the lightweight feel. On plan, the X-shape provides the greatest programmatic efficiencies enabling the terminal to extend to 49 gatehouses, accommodating 59 aircrafts at any one time.

Concorso YAC

Il Rwanda è uno stato dalla tradizione e dalla cultura cristiano molto forti.

Rispettando il simbolismo liturgico e unendo i valori del popolo del Rwanda abbiamo deciso di progettare un edificio simbolico in cui si leggesse la solidità delle tradizioni fondamentali del popolo (rappresentate dall'uso del calcestruzzo) tese ad abbracciare il cuore della preghiera cristiana (simboleggiato dall'uso del mattone di terra cruda).

The designs of new and restored features are consistent with and sympathetic to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s masterpiece, with the four chimneys, massive brick outline and Turbine Halls remaining the dominant features of the building.

Retaining the Power Station’s sense of scale and visual drama is key to the project and is achieved through features such as full-height voids behind the southern and northern entrances, a vast central atrium and the Turbine Halls, rich in heritage features, which have become retail gallerias.

The architectural interventions respect the integrity of the historic landmark while creating new events spaces, shops, restaurants and cafés, large open-plan office spaces and a series of sky villas positioned around rooftop garden squares above the Boiler House and Turbine Halls.
