The current State of Wooden Architecture and Challenging Issues in NepaL.

The Kathmandu valley also referred to as Nepal valley used to be a dominating power in the central part of the Himalayas two thousand years ago. It maintained an independent existence and exerted a major influence on the surrounding hills and the southern plains (new India). While it is believed that the Kathmandu valley was inhabited much earlier, the first authentic dates and facts appear through state inscriptions describing Kathmandu valley dates back to the 5th or 6th century. . .

How can Architecture and urbanism work in periphery

In today’s society urban liveliness has moved from the center of city to its periphery in a diluted manner. There exists the continuation of monotonouscityscape as by-product and leftover of architecture and urbanism. Herein liesthe question: how to build a meaningful ‘place’ in a site where the sense ofplace is lost. This book is a record of the challenge in my belief that architecture is generous spatial entity which has both elaborated condition and quality orchestrated by the relationship to its site, structure, and material to enhancethe quality of life through the human senses. .

The Amazing Photomontages Of Landscape Architects

Landscape architecture is a vital and well-established field, so it is somewhat surprising that while plenty of museums put on architecture exhibitions, few incorporate landscape explicitly as its own discipline. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum corrects this imbalance with its first landscape show, Composite Landscapes: Photomontage and Landscape Architecture, which runs until September 2.

As the name points out, the exhibition will focus on one of the field’s primary techniques for visualizing the concepts, experiential quality, and temporal aspects of landscape design, as contributed by practitioners such as James Corner, Michael Van Valkenburgh, Superstudio, David Hockney, and Isabella Gardner herself, among many others.

The importance of the exhibition is hard to overstate, since it highlights an image-making technique that has been transformational well beyond the bounds of landscape architecture, having filtered over into the architecture and art worlds as well. Though the popularity of photomontage has waxed and waned periodically since its first use at the very dawn of photography, its versatility has lent it the ability to respond to various representational demands, from Dadaist satire to phenomenological investigation. The Gardner Museum exhibition celebrates these various uses of the form during its long and artful history.

Creating the 21st Century Facade

Metals in Construction 2012 Facades Conference

Thursday, February 16th 2012, 8am - 5pm

McGraw-Hill Auditorium, New York, NY

Advanced fabrication technology has unfolded exciting architectural opportunities.

What was once thought impossible is now reality. Together with innovations in materials, it has enabled new facade solutions where design and function come together in almost limitless ways. Now more than ever, collaboration between architect and fabricator empowers each to stretch their imagination, creating challenging projects that are inspiring the next era of designs.

The METALS IN CONSTRUCTION 2012 FACADES CONFERENCE brings together leading designers and fabricators to explore this collaboration through case studies of recent work and roundtable discussions. Presented by the Ornamental Metal Institute of New York and The Architect’s Newspaper, this one-day event is the first in a series of conferences created to help designers and builders understand the ways in which technology can transform design aspirations into reality. From using BIM for communicating effectively with fabricators, to examining new resources for curtain wall design, the conference offers an unprecedented opportunity to survey the possibilities of designing with metals in the digital age.
