Mark Magazine #21
Another issue of Mark Magazine arrived a few days ago to our mailbox. Another white stylish cover, this time with a golden finish that matches a seal as the winner of the Golden Cube Art Director´s Club New York 2009. So I´d like to congratulate Fee, Nils, Arthur and David from Mark, a well deserved award.
As usual, the Notice Board introduces us to recently awarded projects and other projects in the boards, such as the Planetarium by Saucier + Perrote Architectes, the Museo Tamayo by Michel Rojkind + BIG, the Cuajimalpa Tower by Meir Lobaton + Kristjan Donaldson, or The Tolerant City Masterplan by ADEPT + Schonherr landscape. Practices also included on this section: ECDM, Kythreotis Architects, KLNB, Allard Architecture, 51N4E, COBE, Transform, Avery Associates, DLA, X-TU, Taller Veinticuatro, MXG, MAPT, Dark Architects, Manuelle Gautrand, Antonini + Darmon, PAD, Stephane Bigoni, Antoine Mortemard, Joan Anguita, Agence R, AISTUDIO, Renato Perotti, TEN Arquitectos, Cardbondale, Zaha Hadid, UN Studio and Kaputt!. I particularly like the projects shown on the page above, interesting structures.

Notice board
Cross section quickly introduces us to recently finished works, such as OFIS’ Alpine Hut, Toyo Ito’s Za Koenji Public Theatre, Michel Rojkind’s building for Nestlé in Mexico, and the Paco de Pombeiro Rural Hotel by Ezzo.
Michel Rojkind's building for Nestlé in Mexico
Paco de Pombeiro Rural Hotel by Ezzo
Also includes recent works by Search, Supersudaka, Moatti & Riviere, Mancini Design, Alarin Fouraux + Rem Koolhaas, Ira Koers, Akiko Miya, Ezzo and Chartier Corbasson.
Totally Monopoly by Theo Deutinger and Barbara Weingartner
Also, an interesting infographic report, “Totally Monopoly”, by Theo Deutinger and Barbara Weingartner. It shows us a version of the world according to the availability of local version of Monopoly. It looks like Germans like this game a lot, as there are 63 cities and 3 areas with their own licensed version of Monopoly.
Villa Heinz by Made In
Viewpoint has become my favorite section, with interviews that reveal what’s behind the most innovative young practice out there. On this edition, they interview Made In, a swiss practice formed by Francois Charbonnet and Patrick Heiz. It´s interesting to read the story on how the parctice started, their influences, etc. They include built and unbuilt works, which include Villa Heinz… a fantastic pure volume cantilevering over a hill, supported by 2 small trusses. This issue also includes an interview with Go Hasegawa & Associates, a young japanese practice with delicate works on small plots.
Tennis Center in Madrid by Dominique Perrault
Retractable roof at the Tennis Center in Madrid by Dominique Perrault
Long Section goes in depth with recent built works. It includes the stunning Tennis Center in Madrid by Dominique Perrault, which has a retractable roof powered by hydraulic jacks.
Studios for a Dance Ballet and a Music Theatre by Jan de Vylder
Also on this section the Studios for a Dance Ballet and a Music Theatre by Jan de Vylder, a concrete/brick building wrapped on a glass skin with many interesting details, and a good use of contrasting colors.
Robert Stone’s Guest House in California disappears thanks to the use of glass on the interior part of the roof and the supporting columns.
Plan B / Orquideorama
Six Colombian architects show their public projects, part of the acclaimed cultural project of the government that has relied on young practices to deliver buildings of high quality, that double as urban spaces for the community.
Sliding House in Suffolk by dRMM
Closing this section, a house in Jakarta by Mamostudio, the Sliding House in Suffolk by dRMM and the New Church in Foligno by Doriana & Massimiliano Fuksas.
Section Dear Mark covers modern architecture in India, by Michael Webb.
CSET building / Mario Cucinella
Service area has articles with architecture critic Dennis Sharp, talking about his collection of 16,000 (!!) architecture magazines, and with Mario Cucinella about the green strategies for the CSET building in China, among others.
Long story short, this issue is packed with fresh architecture of all kinds, and from all over the globe. Already waiting for the next issue.
