El Helicoide

Romero Gutiérrez, Pedro Neuberger & Dirk Bornhorst | Caracas  | 1955 - …

“A modern shopping mall, “El Helicoide: Centro Comercial y Exposición de Industrias,” was designed to include large exhibition halls for the burgeoning national industries (oil, gas, iron, aluminum, agriculture); an automobile showroom; a gym and swimming pool; restaurants; nurseries; discotheques; a giant cinema; a first-rate hotel in which all the major airlines had offices; a heliport to fly passengers to and from the airport; and a full system of internal access with diagonal elevators and mechanical stairs. At its summit, under a dome designed by Buckminster Fuller, visitors could purchase souvenirs. The landscaping was to be designed by Roberto Burle Marx. El Helicoide was state-of-the-art, even by US standards.” read more in Failed Architecture

Drone Views Of Giza Present the Pyramid in an Unusual Perspective

Ukrainian photographer Alexander Ladanivskyy travels the world in search of spectacular images. Last April, he teamed up with the Ministry of Tourism in Egypt to shoot one of the most photographed landmarks on Earth: the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Not satisfied with recreating perspectives found on postcards and Instagram feeds, Ladanivskyy instead used a drone to shoot the 4,600-year-old structure squarely from above at different altitudes.

The series offers an uncanny view of Giza and manages to flatten the 450-foot building into an abstract collection that appears more like a cobblestone courtyard than a 92-million-cubic-foot stack of boulders. Each photo zeroes in on the pyramid’s tip, or pyramidion, which was once topped by an immense capstone that some speculate may have been gilded with gold. The area is now covered with centuries of graffiti, names etched in stone before the pyramid was more closely guarded.

Crematorium | Barozzi / Veiga Location: Thun, Switzerland | 2015 Learn More: afasiaarchzine.com

Two simple square plan volumes are inserted in the expansion of the cemetery looking for a balance with the existing by its position and size. So the new crematorium, larger, approaches the Strättlingendtrasse to define a new public access to the cemetery, while the service building, smaller, takes a secondary position to set back and approach the southern boundary of the plot. The extension of the existing frame and the incorporation of these new buildings and insists on the landscape features of the cemetery. The clear and concise implementation of the crematorium incorporates in its formalization the nuances of solemnity and kindness that the program and the character of this architecture requires.
