Master Plan Argüello

El Master Plan se encuentra ubicado en el cuadrante noroeste de la ciudad de Córdoba en barrio Arguello. El mismo posee una superficie de 140mil m2, albergando gran cantidad de situaciones como, asentamientos marginales, espacios educativos, potenciales riquezas paisajistas, el canal maestro, áreas residenciales, y futuras intervenciones viales como la continuación de la avenida Rafael Núñez y la costanera sobre el canal. La necesidad de realizar una intervención a gran escala en la zona nació a partir del reconocimiento de las falencias de infraestructura de la ciudad y del sector, por lo que se plantea la creación de un nuevo polo de densificación para acortar distancias de las áreas residenciales al casco céntrico de la ciudad. Esto se llevara a cabo por medio de la modificación de diferentes aspectos que hacen al lugar hoy en día. Por ejemplo cambio en las normativas, posibilitando la mixtura de actividades, áreas residenciales densificadas, espacios comerciales, financieros y educativos, vinculados al espacio publico. Con estos cambios, se crearan grandes espacios verdes en el sector. Lo permitirá que esa área se intervenga con parques lineales. Así, de este modo, todas esas zonas con diferentes actividades estar unidas entre si daran vida al sector.

House Incorporating Distinctive Blue Zinc Cladding by Altius Architecture

Ontario, Canada is the place where Thorncrest House is nested, incorporating distinctive cladding. The rectangular-shaped single storey residence was designed by Altius Architecture, for a family of six. Being one of their latest inspiring homes, it features contemporary elements and a coated in blue zinc cladding exterior, standing out from the general street landscape. Glass panels replace the regular walls, allowing the sun to flood the interior with light and warmth, especially during wintertime.“Particular attention was paid to natural daylight exposure at the basement walk-out, easing its transition to grade via a sunken pool, deck and grass terraces. Shading is provided by deep roof overhangs and cantilevered volumes.”

Spacious, modern and filled with colour, the social area, comprising the kitchen, dinning and a double height living room, inspires openness and dynamism. Luscious red colours some of the furnishing items, adding a sense of vitality throughout the house. The upper floor, organised in compartmented cantilevered volumes, accommodates the bedrooms and the bathrooms. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, the elegant Thorncrest House is a peaceful comfy home that highlights the natural contours of the surrounding site.

          

   

SOLAR ROADWAYS

Solar Roadways is an innovative and futuristic modular paving system of solar panels designed to generate electricity while serving its basic purpose. Able to withstand huge weights, this system can accommodate any heavy-duty truck without any trouble. These panels can easily be installed on literally any surface exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day. In terms of resistance, the panels have been tested for traction, load testing, and impact resistance and they passed with flying colors.

Due to the fact that they generate electricity, these panels pay for themselves in the long run. This electricity can be used to power homes and businesses alike, as long as they’re connected through driveways and parking lots. There’s also the green element to think about. A nationwide system such as this could produce a lot more renewable energy than a country has use for. Not only is the extra power useful, but the fact that it is 100% clean and renewable speaks volumes about the importance of such a system in the first place.

Solar Roadways also features heating elements to prevent the panels from freezing during the cold season. It also uses LEDs to make road lines and signals more visible, as well as an attached Cable Corridor that stores and treats rain water along with providing coverage for the power cables. The EVs will charge themselves with solar energy, and as soon as roadway system is in place, it might also be used to charge vehicles while driving with the help of mutual induction technology.

THE LADY PEEL HOUSE BY RZLBD

The Lady Peel House in downtown Toronto is over a century old, and named after a famous actress and comedienne from the 1940s. To pay respect to Beatrice Lillie (for whom the home is named after), Reza Aliabadi, of rzlbd, wanted to make sure that the renovation gave the house new life, while still maintaining the same skin.

Due to the size of the house being 60′ x 15′, rzlbd decided to take a more streamlined approach. They got rid of any excess elements and kept the space open and airy, ensuring that plenty of natural light filters in to make the rooms seem larger.

They removed the previous finishings to the wall revealing the gorgeous dark brick underneath, which also serves as a reminder of the home’s origins.

By keeping the rooms long and linear, light streams in to fill the whole space.



A bridge connects the rooms in the second floor, and overlooks the dining and living room, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all the levels of the home.

The light, open staircase zig zags between levels, creating a visual and physical connection between all the rooms.

The unique master bedroom is pure white, and has its own freestanding tub. It is housed in the third floor, which also happens to be the attic, and has its own private deck.

To ensure that the home keeps the look and feel of the neighborhood, the architects focused on transforming the interiors with minimal work on the exterior. The only adjustments to its facade was enlarging the windows and exposing the brick.
