Self-Sufficient Housing
1st Advanced Architecture Contest



"Created for students and professionals to inspire changes in how new buildings are designed and constructed, the program challenges participants to design a self-sufficient and ecologically oriented dwelling. In the early 20th Century, the concept of “dwelling” was defined as a “machine for living”, a reference to a new way of understanding the construction of inhabitable spaces that characterized the Machine Age. Today, a century later, we face the challenge of constructing a sustainable or even self-sufficient dwelling, now a living organism that interacts with its environment, exchanging resources, and which functions as an entirely self-sufficient entity. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia publishes here a selection of entries presented during the 1st Advanced Architecture Contest: Self-Sufficient Housing."

You have 5 seconds to tell me the name of the 2012 Pritzker prized architect

You have Pritzkers and you have... Pretzels. You have Jewish Pretzel and you have Chinese Pritzker. No obvious relation here, but then again, this certainly won´t be an obvious line of thought. Pretzel is Jewish food, and Pritzker is a prized architect. The last pritzker on the table is Chinese and the last pretzel on the table is still Jewish. No relation there either... But, sometimes, Jewish related business is often political, and, in a wild assumption, architecture is political too. Or perhaps, for the sake of political correctness argument: architecture is often  politicized ... Another big difference is that Pretzels are largely known around the globe. The last Chinese awarded with the Pritzker prize is not. Every architect I know, and I know allot of them, didn’t had a clue who the hell is Wang Shu. This can mean one of two things: or this guy was dough from a whole by political reasons, or it tells something about the poor quality of my frien...

log entry: mãe, o que é o amor?

- Mãe o que é o amor? - O amor é como o mar, grande e profundo, às vezes cristalino, outras vezes turvo. - Mãe, quanto amor cabe num copo de água? - Filho, o amor não cabe num copo. Tal como o mar ele não serve para beber, mas sim mergulhar. - Mãe, vamos até à praia que eu quero amar! Algo que escrevi faz uns anos...
