Joining an august panel that includes Michael Bierut of Pentagram, landscape architect Thomas Balsley, FASLA, Susan Chin, FAIA, of Design Trust for Public Space, will be landscape architect Claire Fellman, ASLA, of Snøhetta, the firm behind the design for the Times Square reconstruction, to be completed in 2015. The talk, Reimagining New York City's Terra Firma, will focus squarely on the city's changing landscape, and possibility in the built environment. (AIA CEU)

Our view across the Bay of Naples to Vesuvius has been enjoyed since Roman times. Incredible!

Here's a close-up of the rather dingy capsules in the tower taken by Jim O'Connell for the New York Times.

And the book! Guaranteed good times inside!

"In Ahmedabad, we find the light very sharp and harsh at times," says SPASM Design. Strategic shading is ensured with the slatted roof treatment.

"I intended to create futuristic and savage architecture that awakens human animal instincts in which the inside and outside are reversed multiple times," states Hirata.

“The transparency and continuity of the spaces allows the landscape, the coast, and the sea to be present at all times,” LLaumett says. While most of the home’s furniture was constructed on site, a sofa by The Popular Design sits in the living room.

Furnished with vintage Eames chairs, a second-hand sofa, and pendants and tables designed by Nathalie, the space is kept purposefully casual. She painstakingly mixed and tested the paint for the mustard-yellow walls herself—15 times—to match the hue of a Kvadrat textile.

Among the attendees were Fred Bernstein of the New York Times, architect Charles Renfro and Marc Kushner of Architizer (with Bec Brittain Shy Light in the background)

New Yorkers, architects, and international travellers alike will immediately recognize Bierut's most prominent work: the New York Times logo on the paper's eponymous building. The teardrop shape of the black forms don't block views and sunlight while the logo appears opaque from street level.

Jean-Yves Rouleau, designer of the Lac Brûlé House, enthuses that the home’s “clean, rectilinear volumes create spaces that intersect, letting light into the sky and give a view of the forest at all times.” Near the living room, a skylight filled with a hammock allows the homeowners to view the stars at night.

The house features one master bedroom upstairs, two guest bedrooms, and two separate guest apartments downstairs that Wynants rents out. “Farming has become a very difficult trade. Prices are historically low and agritourism is something invented to give farmers the possibility to have an extra income,” says Wynants, who grows hops on his land. “The formula has had huge success; in the last years the tourism capacity of this area has multiplied many times.”

Elise Brewster, a local artist who collaborated on the project, says that lichen is sexier than it sounds: "Lichen is THE extreme plant, and we are in extreme times." Here she demonstrates how to mix the lichen spores with a special adhesive mixture in a tiny dixie cup.

There are decks on all levels of the home. “We utilize them all,” says James. “I use them throughout the day to catch the sun at different times.”

Ian Read wanted the addition to reflect the time in which it was constructed, not the Victorian times in which the house was erected. The industrially styled doors situate the office space squarely in the 21st century.

The Molecular chair looks as though it's made of just that: molecules blown up millions of times, hanging onto each other in waving strands. The "molecules" in this case are felt balls attached to a wire mesh frame. Photo courtesy of Industry Gallery.

Barker, a software executive and former professional drummer, describes the challenge of the project as such: "It’s the expression of two commingling family structures, with respect for the need for individuality at times."

This amazing beach is the famous Bondi Beach, recommended countless times, including once by Dwell follower @KenCarpenter. We were in Australia in July so we caught part of the Winter Festival. Next to the white tent on the left side of the photo is an ice rink. On the beach (while there were surfers in the water)!

The Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles designed by Pritzker Prize-winner Frank Gehry—A true masterpiece, originally designed before [the Guggenheim in] Bilbao. I have photographed Frank Gehry a few times. The true gentleman who becomes more like a beautiful wine through the ages.

Though we didn't get a chance to stop, we did drive by Austin's City Hall, designed by Antoine Predock Architect PC, several times. In the summer, the exterior steps become auditorium seating for an afternoon concert series.

Luma's app also allows parental filtering: parents can regulate the content level, maximum hours-of-use of each user, even internet curfews for each children's device. Digital time-outs? Now there's an app for that.
