Periscope Tower in Finland

From the architect:

The Periscope Tower by OOPEAA is a giant wooden periscope structure that serves as an observation tower and engages the viewer in a dialogue with the landscape. With the help of a large mirror the Periscope Tower makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the views of the surrounding landscape. One can either climb up the stairs to enjoy the view over the lake and into the surrounding landscape from the viewing deck, or simply stay on the ground and get the view through the periscope mirror. Made entirely of wood, the building is composed of an inner core of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and an external wooden frame that serves as a load bearing structure. The inner core made of CLT forms the frame for an extra large periscope with stairs circling around it. When taking the stairs up or down one can experience a rich range of different views framed by the various openings cut into the structure.

MoMA PS1 

The Young Architects Program is an annual collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 that fosters innovative design research and promotes emerging talent. The Young Architects Program at MoMA and MoMA PS1 chellenge each year’s winners to develop creative designs for a temporary, outdoor installation at MoMA PS1 that provides shade, seating, and water. The architects must also work within guidelines that address environmental issues, including sustainability and recycling.

Escobedo Solíz Studio’s Weaving the Courtyard is 2016 Young Architects Program’s winner and is now open (second image from the top). Weaving the Courtyard features all the “urban beach” amenities you would expect: a large reflecting pool, wooden plank walkways, a mist machine, and large sandy “beach” in the main courtyard. The installation’s brightly hued ropes plug into the formwork holes of the MoMA PS1‘s concrete walls.

Unfinished: Design Strategies Generated by an Optimistic View of the Constructed Environment in Spain

A couple of days ago we posted our Standouts from the Venice Biennale. One of them is the exhibition called ¨Unfinished¨. Curated by architects Iñaqui Carnicero and Carlos Quintáns it consists of nearly 67 proposals and 7 photographic series presenting answers to the problems arising in Spain after the housing boom post crisis.

The exhibition gathers examples of architecture produced during the past few years, born out of renunciation and economy of means, designed to evolve and adapt to future necessities and trusting in the beauty conferred by the passage of time. These projects have understood the lessons of the recent past and consider architecture to be something unfinished, in a constant state of evolution and truly in the service of humanity. The current moment of uncertainty in our profession makes its consideration here especially relevant.

Here are five of the projects included in the exhibition (some of them have been previously featured on ARCHatlas), from the top:
