Lark Landing in its native habitat: a bosque of blue & green glass skyscrapers. And some nice moments within. It’s about 90% leased up and bustling. #housingforall #affordablehousing #modernarchitecture #urbanism #urbanarchitecture #citybuilding #dreamhomes #architecturelovers #kennerlyarchitecture #larklanding Affordable family housing @mercyhousing @swinerton1888 @tucci_lighting @y.a.studio
Marina Tabassum’s astonishing range and clarity blew our minds on Day-3 of the Monterey Design Conference. The Bangladeshi architect’s work includes: Ultra low cost moveable homes for denizens of flood-prone islands in the Ganges delta; a mosque of liquid light in Dhaka; the Museum of Independence that captures the triumph and struggle of the young nation; a translucent pleated vault at London’s Serpentine gallery; and a folded apartment building. Each is fashioned from and tailored to the lives and experience of the people at their center. Thank you to @marinatabassum for making such a long journey, to @josephineminutillo_ for making the connection that made it happen; and to the entire staff and crew of @aiacalif and @aiamontereybay and the organizing committee of @mdc_conf Photo credits: 1: Sandro di Carlo Darsa 2, 9, 10 Asif Salman 4: @iwanbaan 7: City Syntax #designinspo #architecturelovers #bangladesharchitecture #dreamhouse #museumarchitecture
Loving our new home base in our new favorite neighborhood! #downtownsanfrancisco The extreme mix of scales is its essence - not just the buildings, but the spaces: Broad plazas & Market street contrast with alleys and nooks teaming with life. That halcyon San Francisco light reflects and rakes across textured street walls. Our new perch is the entire seventh floor of the 1907 Alto Building at the corner of Bush & Kearny (pic-3). Come visit! #urbanity #designinspo #urbanarchitecture #citybuilding #architecturelovers #kennerlyarchitecture #midcenturymodern #beauxarts #citybeautiful
