—This is why certain countries just kill it. They don’t take anything in the public eye for granted, not a bench, a garbage can or a bridge. The Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum by Kengo Kuma is the embodiment of that spirit.
The story behind the bridge is that helps with communication in the area, as a road had spilt the area in two. Not only is it a bridge, it has an artist’s residency program and a workshop built into it. As stated by Archdaily, the Jenga like structure “challenged a structural system which composes of small parts, referring to cantilever structure often employed in traditional architecture in Japan and China. It is a great example of sustainable design, as you can achieve a big cantilever even without large-sized materials."
You would definitely appreciate that beautiful coastline just sitting on the rocks, but the addition of an intriguing building seems to make things just a bit more interesting.
It’s either a cool building with an incredible landscape, or a beautiful landscape with an ace building attached. Regardless, it’s inspiration in physical form.
When you're attracted to a beautiful person,you want them to be as amazing on the inside as they look on the outside right? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. However, if you could find someone who was the equivalent of the Greenwich Street Project’s Schein Loft, you’d be good for life.
A dovecote is an older English term for a pigeon coop, and the addition to this derelict version is meant to be a creative space for musicians. I wonder if that connection will further inspire the musicians to drop that ill shit?
What immediately struck me about the design of the Hill House was not the illusion of an emerging hill or the cantilevered second storey, but rather the decision of the architect to incorporate the forgotten backyard into the life of the house.
