KITOKI, le spécialiste de la décoration et de l'agencement intérieur japonais en France. La qualité et l'authenticité de nos produits sont notre credo.

Located in a quiet residential suburb of Okazaki, Japan, the appropriately named "White Mountain House" was designed to give its inhabitants a view of Mount Hongu and privacy from neighboring families. "My clients live in a suburb with a lot of detached houses; they are surrounded by neighbors in the side and in the back. I wanted to create various 'exteriors' within the house without having my clients leave their home," says architect Takayuki Kuzushima.

In Bologna, in 1839, the decorative artist Antonio Basoli published his Alfabeto Pittorico, ossia raccolta di pensieri pittorici composti di oggetti comincianti dalle singole lettere alfabetiche (‘Pictorial Alphabet, or, a collection of pictorial thoughts composed of objects beginning with the individual letters of the alphabet’). This was an album of twenty-five elaborate lithographs, each one featuring an alphabetical character cast in some fantastic architectural form, in a setting contrived to illustrate any number of figures and objects for which there were Italian words beginning with that same letter.

While walking through my local garden center the other day, I was struck by the beauty of succulents. The colors and textures of the plants are so diverse and stunning that it's easy to see why many people have embraced their use indoors in terrariums. If you've already tried your hand at indoor succulent gardening, now's the time to take your skills outdoors.

A few months ago I was contacted about appearing on a TV competition show. I had to fill out an application, make a video and tell them what I would do with the money if I won. I said I wanted to build a greenhouse. I never heard back from them, so I'm thinking they thought a greenhouse wasn't the right thing to spend thousands of dollars on (or perhaps they didn't like the way I smile or hot glue stuff).

DAAR [Decolonizing Architecture/Art Residency] DAAR is an art and architecture collective and a residency programme based in Beit Sahour, Palestine. DAAR’s work combines discourse, spatial intervention, education, collective learning, public meetings and legal challenges. DAAR’s practice is centred on one of the most difficult dilemmas of political practice: how to act both propositionally and critically within an environment in which the political force field is so dramatically distorted. It proposes the subversion, reuse, profanation and recycling of the existing infrastructure of a colonial occupation. DAAR projects have been shown showed in various biennales and museums, among them Venice Biennale, the Bozar in Brussels, NGBK in Berlin, the Istanbul Biennial, The Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, Home Works in Beirut, Architekturforum Tirol in Innsbruk, the Tate in London, the Oslo Triennial, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and many other places. DAAR’s members have taught lectured and published internationally. In 2010 DAAR was awarded the Price Claus Prize for Architecture, received Art initiative Grant, and shortlisted for the Chrnikov Prize.

While in Brussels a few days ago, i made a beeline for the Bozar to see an exhibition with a very promising title: Decolonizing Architecture. The show was way better and more subtle than i could have imagined from a superficial reading of its description.

Détroit, une ville autrefois qualifiée de "Paris du midwest américain" semble avoir été frappée par la pire des tempêtes. Tous les fléaux qui affectent certaines grandes villes nord-américaines sont ici réunis : déclin des grandes industries (notamment celle de l'automobile), ségrégation raciale et crise des hypothèques.

Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires. This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time : being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.

Over the past generation Detroit has suffered economically worse than any other of the major American cities and its rampant urban decay is now glaringly apparent during this current recession. Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre documented this disintegration, showcasing structures that were formerly a source of civic pride, and which now stand as monuments to the city’s fall from grace.

I got an advanced proof of Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals by architect and photographer Christopher Payne some time ago. But not until I really glimpsed and held the finished book did the power of his images, a six-year documentation of America's crumbling state mental institutions, come through.

Depuis plus d’un siècle, ARMODYS honore les murs des temples japonais, les châteaux, les maisons et les salons de thé. Fusionnant aujourd’hui le côté ancestral et l’esthétisme avant-gardiste, ARMODYS est maintenant fréquemment utilisé dans l’architecture moderne, aussi bien résidentielle que commerciale. Composé d’ingrédients que le temps met à l’honneur, tels que le sable naturel, la terre de Diatomée, l’argile, les éclats de pierre naturelle, et de fibres végétales (wara), et combiné à un liant liquide organique spécialement formulé ainsi qu’à des matières non toxiques, ARMODYS est durable. Il en résulte une surface granuleuse à la radiance subtile, qui révèle la beauté architecturale et le style des bâtiments, et crée une atmosphère caractéristique de tranquillité.

Moduler l'espace afin de recréer le lien entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur par Isabelle Berthet Bondet.

Dans de nombreux pays d'Europe et notamment la France, la mécanisation des techniques du bâtiment au cours du XXe siècle, a fait passer la charpente en bois à une place secondaire. En France, ce mouvement est engagé dès le XVIIIe siècle où l'architecture à la mode « à la parisienne » est en pierre. Les modèles en sont véhiculés par les architectes formés à l'Académie royale d'architecture. Au XIXe et XXe siècles, la fabrication industrielle des briques, du ciment, le développement des transports bousculent les pratiques de construction locales. Le savoir de l'ingénieur tend à rationaliser les calculs et réduire les quantités de bois employées. Le rôle du charpentier notamment en France diminue considérablement tout au long du XXe siècle. Le mode de transformation, de taille et de tracés du bois laisse de plus en plus place à la machine et à l'automatisation des procédures.
