‘Inside Iconic Houses’ at Case Study House #26

The "River Somes" exhibition is one of the events included in this year's Lisbon Architecture Triennale. It focuses in a large-scale river regeneration project that the Madrid-based firm PRÁCTICA is carrying out in the city of Cluj-Napoca, in Romania. This project consists in the redesign of the River Somes waterfronts along a 15-km section of its course through the city of Cluj. It includes a large number of bridges, squares, parks, public spaces, pedestrian paths and bike lanes, and it's scheduled for completion in mid-2023. The curators of the 2022 Lisbon Architecture Triennale, Cristina Veríssimo and Diogo Burnay, have selected the River Somes project to be features in this year's exhibition, titled "Terra", due to the international interest it is receiving, as well as for its relationship to the event's main themes.

A photographic survey of Soviet-era playgrounds found in former members of the USSR, such as Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Through five chapters containing more than 150 photographs, the book documents the mass-produced, yet diverse play equipment installed in the communal spaces of socialist-era housing estates, such as rocket slides and earth-shaped climbers, spaceships and animal-themed ladders, cosmic roundabouts and bizarre objects that would probably raise safety concerns nowadays.

Transportation infrastructure like flyovers, elevated expressways, bridges, highways are built to perform a certain role in a city. But in the post construction phase, as they are put into an already existing system of urban networks, the under-infrastructure space and infra elements continue to evolve into interesting usages by common people.
These public spaces beneath active elevated road and rail beds remain at best largely underused, and at worst dark and dusty corridors of neglect. The reality of the modern infrastructural landscape is as much geopolitical as it is technical. Transportation infrastructure continues being utilized as an urban element, beyond their intended function in many cases.

The mission of the AIA Japan Design Awards Program is to encourage excellence in architectural design and planning, and to provide an avenue through which architects may gain recognition by their peers and the public. The ultimate goal is to raise the standards of architectural design excellence for both the architectural community and the public.
