Encants Market / JDS Architects
For JDS Architects‘ Encants Market in Barcelona, the firm employs their conventional strong geometry to create an open market place. The occupiable roof measures 7 meters in thickness and contains about half of the market’s activity (the other half occurs between the roof and the parking level). Inside, a ramp brings visitors to ground level, echoing the same circulation ideas found in Frank Lloyd Wright’s New York Guggenheim. From ground level, the open sides of the market create a feeling of permeability, allowing easy access for those passing by.

Bucky Fuller & Spaceship Earth, curated by Foster
What: Ivorypress Art + Books is to stage an exhibition of the work of Buckminster Fuller
Where: Madrid, Spain
When: From September 1st to October 30th
Curated by Norman Foster and Luis Fernández-Galiano, the exhibition brings the different strands of Bucky’s influential career together with original drawings and models and will be the first chance to see the recently completed recreation of the Dymaxion Car.
In Lord Foster´s words: “I was privileged to collaborate with Bucky for the last 12 years of his life and this had a profound influence on my own work and thinking. Inevitably, I also gained an insight into his philosophy and achievements. With Luis Fernández-Galiano, my co-curator for this exhibition, we have tried to show Bucky and the broad range of his work in the context of his time.”
New Green Wall / Jose Maria Chofre
Although we’ve featured dozens of projects that incorporate vertical or roof gardens, we just couldn’t stop looking at this beautiful six story tall green wall by architect Jose Maria Chofre that we spotted at Urbanarbolismo. The articulated design, teamed with the variety of foliage, adds a great texture and personality to the building, a new children’s library in eastern Spain.
