Belgian photographer Filip Dujardin has been getting a lot of attention over the past few years with his combinative photographs of fictional buildings. In these photographs, Dujardin parses together unusual architectural elements, often bringing the backs of buildings into the spotlight and synthesizing forms into tangled or cantilevered constructions. These surreal structures have been likened to old factories along the American rust belt as well as new projects by OMA and work by Steven Holl.

The quality of the videos is always sharp and stunning.
Music is cold and edgy, in the likes of The Knife and Fever Ray. Can be purchased on itunes or amazon.

Atelier Bow-Wow: Tower Machiya
‘tower machiya’ by japanese studio atelier bow-wow is a four-storey residential project
in shinjuku, tokyo. sitting on a plot that has just enough space for a single car,
the design borrows elements of a ‘machiya’ (traditional wooden communal
residence in japan) but is stretched up into a tower form to claim as much living space
as possible. the clients, who are fervent practitioners of tea ceremony, also desired that
the house be equipped with a tea room, one that was spacious enough to accommodate
a teaching environment in the future.
because the building is limited both in terms of frontage and depth, the spaces within
are negotiated on a vertical axis. by placing the tea room on the top floor, the staircase
acts as a ‘garden’, or a pathway for guests to be led up to the room. the arrangement of
the staircase also defines the rest of the living space, which offshoot in fragments and
are integrated through a rhythmic arrangement of steel beams and columns.
in line with the aesthetics of the machiya, the ground floor facade is lined with a set
of wooden louvers. netted steel frames provide small but sufficient balconies of 45 cm
depth at each level of the house.
