Mister Buckminster 2009-10-04 18:29:00
Haas House (1990) in Vienna, by Hans Hollein (1934), I said it once and I'll say it a million times...don't mock post-modernism...embrace it...[image credits here]

Byker Wall (1978) by Ralph Erskine (1914-2005) is not an ordinary building. Read the story here. [more pics here]

Not very inspired today, but I still managed to find (thanks to John) a charming little project to share with you. The Fiat Tagliero building (1938) in Eritrea by architect Giuseppe Petazzi.[image credits here]

Adolf Loos' (1870-1933) house for entertainer Josephine Baker (1906-1975) never made it past the drawing the drawing board. Still, it seems to have become basic architectural info (partly) due to its explicit black-white facade.The closest we'll ever get to seeing it built is b0b van Reeth's (b.1943) Van Roosmalen House (1985-1988) …

CD=Cedric Buckminster SOAB= snobby and overpriced art and architecture bookshop. CD: Hi, can I have a copy of Camillo Sitte's City planning according to artistic principles? I can't seem to find it anywhere. SOAB: I have never heard of it, sir, but I'll see if I can order a copy. CD: Thank …

The Rue Franklin Apartmets in Paris (1902-1904) is hands down Auguste Perret's (1874-1954) masterpiece. I've been told (it could also be a rumour) that Corbu lived here for a while. Strinkigly beautiful facade, too bad the interiors are off limits for visitors.
Mister Buckminster 2009-08-19 19:52:00
Where does history end and where does contemporary begin? When Rem finished the Maison à Bordeaux in 1998 the revolutionary concept hit the architectural scene like an atomic bomb. Even though it's only 10 years old, those are the projects that make history...I have been in Bordeaux but sadly (and embarrassingly) I …

Somebody stop Charles! The preservation of tomorrow's architectural heritage is at stake! I truly am not a fan of Jean Nouvel, but I sincerely think Prince Charles should go fox hunting, or whatever he does with our tax money, instead of interfering with architectural competitions. By the way, this is the crap …
Mister Buckminster 2009-08-11 20:19:00
This may well be one of the best ecclesiastical facades I've seen yet. Incredible. La Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. I'd happily tell you all about it but everything you want to know is right here. [image credits here]
Mister Buckminster 2009-08-10 20:30:00
Worry not!! I am dead nor injured. I am dealing with an architectural overdose. The trainride through Europe was just too exhausting, but I am back in my beloved London in one piece. Starting tomorrow I'll post some of the buildings I've visited which were wonderful and some which were a big …
Mister Buckminster 2009-07-15 21:01:00
This summer I'm doing London to Porto and back by train . I have no plan or reservations, only a interrail trainpass for Europe. I left yesterday and arrived in Brussels today, but way too tired to post the pictures I took this far. I think I'll stay tomorrow and then head to …
Mister Buckminster 2009-07-12 08:54:00
I've had it with Modernism for a while!The Santa Maria dei Miracoli (1489) by Renaissance Master Pietro Lombardo (1435-1515) is one of the finest examples of Venetian Renaissance architecture.The facade is lavishly decorated with polychrome marbles and the interior is dominated by an ornamental marble stair which features exquisite reliefs, mostly also by Lombardo …
Mister Buckminster 2009-07-08 21:31:00
Casa Rotunda a Stabio (1982) by Mario Botta (1943)All the pics you want are here [image here]
Mister Buckminster 2009-07-06 18:34:00
I once applied for a job at the Taller de Arquitectura and Mr. Ricardo Bofill (1939) never even bothered to answer my letter. I am still a bit pissed off at him about that, but I can not deny that I am a sucker for his (especially early) works. If I …
Mister Buckminster 2009-07-04 11:42:00
Been away for a while because of doctorate research, but I'm back. Josep Lluis Sert's (1902-83) Miró Foundation (1975) in Barcelona. I visited this building when I was about 15 years old and its one of the main reasons I went on to become an architect. The picture above shows Miro and Sert …
Mister Buckminster 2009-06-21 19:25:00
Ernö Goldfinger's (1902-1987) Trellick Tower (1972). Greatly influenced by Le Corbusier, it is simultaneously cherished as a pure example of Brutalist excellence and rejected as ugly and unfriendly, epitomizing the downfall of Modernism.I am with the former. [images here and here]
Mister Buckminster 2009-06-17 18:38:00
Competition completed. I reckon you will agree this is a more-than-worthy come-back project.Berthold Lubetkin's (1901-1990) Penguin Pool at London Zoo (1934). [image credits here and here]
Mister Buckminster 2009-06-08 21:10:00
I will not be able to post this week due to a competition deadline (I'm not very good at time management). In the meantime I leave you with this overview which was put together at USC.The painting is Pope Julius II ordering Bramante, Michelangelo and Raphael to construct the Vatican and St. Peters …
