Posted in Uncategorized on October 16, 2008 by antonyjohnsonSpeaking of angly awesomeness, we bring you a more recent example: the Norwegian Embassy in Nepal. In many ways this is the building that Albert Ledner’s aspires to be. The material progression is the same: masonry base, zigzag glass, powerful roof profile. The architects for the embassy, Kristin Jarmund Architects, simply refined the palette: rip rap looking stone, mullionless glass, simplified roof profile (to eliminate waterproofing issues, no doubt). Still, the comparison is worth making, if only to see the common ideas at work.
Albert Ledner’s Maritime Awesomeness
Posted in Uncategorized on October 15, 2008 by antonyjohnsonRegional Modernism, a great blog devoted to modernist buildings in the New Orleans Area, stopped by Albert Ledner’s National Maritime Union while we were sleeping here at Tropolism. It sounds like some unwelcome modifications have been made to the exterior during its renovation.
Which then led us to more pictures of this freaky great building over at Alan Rosenberg’s blog. Which of course led us back to good ole New York, where Ledner’s other wacky building for the Union is in a preservation fight.

moomoo
Posted in Uncategorized on October 4, 2008 by antonyjohnsonOpvallend aan de woning is het gebruik van het gordijn. De gevel leeft mee met het lichtste briesje, en is altijd in beweging. In de overdekte ruimte begrensd door het grodijn ontstaat een apparte sfeer, voor reflectie en inspiratie.
De organisatie en de opbouw van het plan is ook prachtig in al zijn eenvoud.
Een ontwerp van het Poolse Moomoo. Ga zeker eens op hun website kijken, er zijn nog prachtige ontwerpen te zien. Het zal meteen een ander beeld oproepen dan het oordeel dat we hebben over ‘Poolse bouwers’.
