A little side project I undertook during the construction of Tree Pavilions; one of the projects I have worked on as an Architect at Swanbury Penglase.

The time-lapse photography was shot between April and November of 2011 whenever I was out out on site for meetings or whenever I could get the chance for a site visit on weekends.

The 3D model and animation were both done in SketchUp 3D.

Hope you enjoy.

‘Peep’ Short Film by Marcio Kogan

It’s said that most people only get to experience great residential architecture through photographs but one award winning architect is doing something about that. Marcio Kogan, the São Paolo based architect, has made a number of short films focused around the people (and animals) who live in modern architecture and use it every day.

As architectural photography is usually quite serious his short films are quite refreshing and funny (and a little cheeky). The above short film features one of his office’s projects House V4, located in São Paulo.

This great documentary by Britt Arthur recently screened on ABC 1 in Australia.

Life Architecturally follows internationally acclaimed husband and wife team, architect Robert McBride and interior designer Debbie Ryan, to discover what inspires their groundbreaking architectural concepts and designs. This intimate documentary observes the pressures of building a multi-story, twin-tower development; revolutionary new schools, one in the shape of an infinity symbol, and the ongoing construction and design of their own family home – which is on the backburner once again due to how busy they are. Plus, they’re part of an international consortium short-listed to design and construct the new billion-dollar Cancer Care Centre in Melbourne.’

The documentary is now available to watch on ABC iview

Watch the preview for the documentary below:

This video was doing the rounds back in December but I still want to share it with you. Created to promote the Eames exhibitions and events in the Pacific Standard Time Cultural Festival.

Interestingly before his rap career Ice Cube studied architectural drafting. In the video he describes the Los Angeles he knows and gives props to Charles and Ray Eames.

Love the line: “They was doing mashups before mashups even existed.” – Ice Cube

phillip johnsonSaw this awesome portrait of Philip Johnson over on archdaily the other week taken by fashion, advertising and fine art photographer David LaChapelle.

Philip Johnson (1906-2005) was one of the most influential American architects and  the inaugural Pritzker Prize winner back in 1979 (considered by many as the Nobel Prize of architecture).

I don’t know many old architect greats, let alone old men that would be into a light hearted photo shoot like this. Philip Johnson = champion.

Below is one of his most famous buildings, his personal residence, The Glass House, which was built in 1949.

The Osler House by Marcio Kogan is located in Brasilia, Brazil.

The house is composed of two rectangular volumes, stacked one on top of the other and arranged perpendicularly to create a sheltered entertaining terrace at ground level. Concrete, timber and glass form the simple palette of materials and add to the house’s minimalist nature.
