acme: UN memorial space
acme: UN memorial space
a recent competition was initiated by the city of chungju in south korea,
asking for proposals for a UN memorial for the city's UN(united nations) peace park.
one of the projects was london-based architecture firm acme who received third place for
their piece. comprised of a 1,500 seating assembly, two conference halls, a theatre
and exhibition space, acme drew on the actual organization of the united nations for their design.
the UN is formed by individual nations, and as a metaphor acme designed a cube comprised
of smaller cells which come together forming the final shape. each cell is meant to represent
the collective nature of the united nations' identity and provide various amenities and functions
from exhibitions to education, conference, office, restaurant, events and public viewing platforms.
acme believes that the memorial should represent the nature of the united nations,
where many individual nations come together to create one entity, but without losing their
individual identities.
the structure is comprised of hexagonal shaped cells which are metaphor speaks of the individual nations
which make up the UN

Someone ask me for the guides about shopping online, they want to the info of jordan shoes, I really be happy to help you. But some else like nike shoes, they said ugg brand is they favorite. At the same time many people like ugg boots much more. So I want to write some shopping guides and info about all the footwear for everybody.
i don't think it conjures up any images of peace/memorial... it's kinda like an expo more than anything else.i do like the hexagons superimposed on the stair - finally something new with the honeycomb!

off architecture: jean moulin high school
lycee jean moulin will be built into the hilly landscape of revin in france
all images courtesy of off architecturethe architectural reconstruction project of lycee jean moulin in revin, france is to be
completed by off architecture in association with duncan lewis scape architecture
and jeans giacinto. located within a vast and undulating terrain with many curves,
the architects want to install the new building into the topography of the landscape.
they will utilize the constraints of the slope, so the school is elevated and recedes upwards,
creating a pattern of movement. through incorporating the architecture into hilly surroundings,
they want to ensure that the users of this new college will benefit from the natural qualities
of the surrounding environment. the project is set to be completed for 2012.

grass will be placed on the roofs of each level so that the building blends in with the green landscape
appearing like a hill itself
