Slide in the Office

Jump Studio has designed a few Denari-like interior in London, but the Red Bull’s London HQ comes with a built-in slide between floors as a way to “manifest an adrenalin and dynamic excitement", and simply encourage movement by its occupants. True to the brand indeed.

Highway Architecture

I am always depressed by “eyesores” beside freeway (like Riverside: great hospital, horrible building, drives me crazy) Can you imagine driving on the freeway and see this acoustical barrier merged with an auto dealership? Designed by Oosterhuis in NL for Hessing in Utrecht.

Diagram or Building?

I was very much intrigued by this image when I first saw it. What is it doing on an architecture website? It is an interesting project that combines SANAA’s diagrammatic approach and H&dM’s building-skin-equals-architecture strategy. A fun website too: Mansilla+Tuñón, Spain.
