Plastic Fantastic: 8 Illuminating Instances of Plastic Architecture
Since the mid-19th century, plastic has transformed the world. The material is ubiquitous in almost all consumer materials. Even still, plastic architecture and structures in which plastic is the primary building material remain sparse and mainly experimental. Firms like Plastique Fantastique and Selgascano are working to change this. This collection exhibits an emerging wave of plastic expression in architecture. Last year’s Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion by Selgascano incorporates two layers of vibrantly coloured Ethylene Tetrafluroethylene plastic, which is wrapped around a white steel frame. URCHIN Impossible Circus by CODA, which was completed this year, is built from 500 borrowed plastic chairs. CODA’s award-winning work is known for its use of an innovative material palette. By using plastic as a primary material, it is on display in both method and manifestation. Technicalities aside, these structures are stunning. The material’s translucency allows light to partially pass through it, rendering shapes and shadows that are completely transfixing. Despite the complexity of their construction, these buildings and installations are inviting, playful and retain a sense of lightness. It is easy to fall deeply enamored with these spaces, so go ahead and take a look. Serpentine Gallery … Jennifer Geleff via Architizer http://ift.tt/2gPkHgk
Dynamic SanctuaryThe Principals
Dynamic Sanctuary is a special immersive installation that uses light to reflect users’ biorhythms and create a calm, soothing oasis during the hectic schedule of New York design week.
The Principals is an experimental design studio that combines architecture, industrial design and fabrication to create projects that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. Formed in Brooklyn in 2012 by Chas Constantine, Chris Williams, and Drew Seskunas, the studio designs objects and spaces that expand our understanding of the world, connecting utility with a universal sense of wonder.

472. Iannis Xenakis /// Villa Mâche /// Amorgos Island, Greece /// 1966-77
OfHouses presents “Solo Albums”:
”Iannis Xenakis worked with Le Corbusier on the “Convent of Sainte Marie
de La Tourette” (1956-60) and was the principal architect of the
outstanding “Philips Pavilion” (1958). Xenakis left his master’s atelier
to pursue a successful career as an experimental musical composer; he
never abandoned architecture, but didn’t built much. His “Villa Mâche“
(1966) is one-third corbusian, one-third vernacular and one-third
something else.”

Earth Box by Equipo de Arquitectura
Resolving the basic equation of materializing the desires through a limited budget, we started the process of building an architecture office. The exercise starts with the experimental process of use and transformation of available and recovered materials, such as land, recycled glass and formwork wood, configuring them between two existing trees: the sneak, which is outside but framed, and the guavirá that is located in the middle of space to keep us company.
The rammed earth walls of 0.30 support the weight of the slab, which rests on 20 cm of the wall, without any anchoring or mooring, taking advantage of the structural qualities of the material. The remaining 10 cm remain outside, to hide the slab, delimiting the exterior only with the walls. All the furniture and doors are from the phenolic plates that were used in the formwork of the slab. The library is detached from the walls so that the light continues its trajectory, suspending the books and paintings, precious treasures in the office.
‘ReActor’ House Rotates Atop a Concrete Column
‘ReActor’ is the latest work in an experimental, performative series of ‘social relationship architecture’ designed and built by artists Alex Schweder and Ward Shelley. this summer, for a total of five days, the architect-artist duo lived in the rotating house, located in upstate New York. the habitable sculpture measures 44-foot by 8-foot (13.4 x 2.4m) and rotates a complete 360-degrees atop a 15-foot (4.5m) concrete column. The project was commissioned by OMI International Arts Center.
