Modern Art Parker Sails Hannifin Glass Water Sclupture from Swon Design

By matalangit On December 16th, 2009

This Amazing and Modern Architecture Design to Parker Sails Hannifin Glass Water Sclupture, SWON Design was commissioned by the Parker Hannifin Corporation of Mayfield Ohio, to design, fabricate and install a sculptural glass water feature that would become the signature piece of a 52 foot granite pond and landscaped plaza. The six different views of the plaza give a sense of scale and dimension to the sculpture. Five of the glass elements have been incorporated with a reservoir in the frame to allow water to cascade gently into the pond. Although the water is drained from the pond for the winter period, the sculpture maintains an elegance and aesthetic beauty throughout the seasons.

Modern Installation South Face Designed by Italian architect Iosa Ghini

By matalangit On November 25th, 2009

The Modern Installation South Face installation exemplifies an architectural portion with a façade solution based on solar exposure. The concept of sustainability is usually associated with sterile forms in which aesthetics are often overlooked. It consists of an insulated modular wall composed of hollow panels in eco-cement with quarry substrates, accommodating dense and dramatic-looking foliage. The purpose of the Design Energies exhibition, was to feature installations from a variety of designers that would get people thinking about energy efficiency and use of sustainable materials. The modern interior of the structure is fitted with informal seating designed to beckon passers-by to stop and rest in a natural setting. Our installation creates spectacular aesthetic effects, making sustainability both beautiful and feasible.

By matalangit On November 21st, 2009

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Home Building Material for Modern Architecture is the material of the future and its perfect to build modern homes. AAC saves you money and is far better compared to other building materials. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is the material of the future. AAC is produces by several companies, one of the biggest being YTONG. Autoclaved Aerated concrete (AAC), or otherwise known as Autoclave Cellular Concrete (ACC), is a lightweight, precast building material. AAC is an environmentally friendly, easy-to-instal and highly efficient alternative to conventional insulating materials. Lots of modern prefab buildings in Europe are made with AAC. AAC’s high resource efficiency gives it low environmental impact in all phases of its life cycle, from processing of raw materials to the disposal of AAC waste.

Clybourn Point Condos Shine Brightly in Chicago’s from Rada Architecture

By matalangit On November 15th, 2009

Clybourn Point Condos Shine Brightly from Rada Architecture Located in Chicago’s growing River North district, this mixed use development offers engaging and sustainable Architecture Design. RADA’s Clybourn Point is LEED® Silver certified! The building is the first and only LEED® certified midrise multi-unit residential development in Chicago. The concept of mixed use is not new by any means, but is making a strong comeback with the demand for sustainable urban design. The bold angle of the facade utilizes the allotted space with appropriate proportions, and finally, perhaps my favorite part of the whole project, is the kinetic LED light fixture on the building’s edge.
