Charles Correa in Conversation with RIBA President Angela Brady

After generously donating an archive of over 6000 drawings and 150 projects, architect Charles Correa sat down with RIBA President Angela Brady to discuss his life and work as one of “India’s greatest architects.” The short interview touches on a wide range of topics, from the inspiration behind some of his greatest projects to advice for future architecture students.

“The thing about architecture is that you cannot teach it. You can learn it, but you cannot teach it. And a good school is a school which makes you passionate about architecture and that teaches you how to ask questions. [...] If you know how to ask the right questions, you will develop your own philosophy and your own visual vocabulary.”

Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum Tower for Miami Revealed

One Thousand Museum / Zaha Hadid Architects (2) — © ZHA

Renderings of Zaha Hadid‘s long anticipated One Thousand Museum Tower in downtown Miami, Florida have been released. The condo tower, which will be the first Zaha Hadid-designed skyscraper to grace the skyline of the Western Hemisphere, will be a 60-story luxury condo building with purported “daring design”. It will feature a concrete exo-skeleton that will hide the distinguishable features of the apartments. According to the Wall Street Journal, One Thousand Museum Tower is designed with an interest in “how the structure is manifested,” says Hadid, avoiding the “generic modernist typology.” It is one of several by high-profile architects that are beginning to take root in Miami, changing the tide of investment from real estate that is solely driven by location on the waterfront, to architecture that is high-end, luxury design. This is, of course, speculation, but you can judge for yourself on the value of what One Thousand Museum has to offer.

Alexander Brodsky at Architekturzentrum Wien in 2011

For this architect, there is an indiscernible line between art installation and building. Alexander Brodsky studied architecture in Moscow, while working on art installations and drawings both independently and in collaborations with other artists. Brodsky admits that his career path was unconventional, that he felt unready to take on the responsibility of building. Instead, Brodsky’s approach to architecture is through the lens of art: occupiable, room-sized installations that test spatial and sensory boundaries.

Strawscraper / Belatchew Arkitektur

Belatchew Arkitekter has presented a concept for transforming high-rise towers into power-generating factories. The Swedish firm’s proposal involves covering a Stockholm skyscraper with “electricity-generating bristles”. The tower in question is Henning Larsen’s Söder Torn tower on Södermalm in Stockholm. Belatchew has designed a wind farm that will top the existing building with a 16-story extension, covering the facade with “hairy-looking plastic straws designed to move with the wind”.

Join us after the break for more details and images of this proposal.
