Architecture.MNP 2009-06-17 16:40:04 [’09 2nd place: The living bridge, Nicola Marchi + Adelaïde Marchi] The eVolo Skyscraper Competition has definitely evolved into a really interesting way to test and showcase new ideas for high-rise buildings - a typology that is most definitely due for some real innovation. The ninjas at eVolo have announced that registration is open for the 2010 competition - with a January 18th … Architecture.MNP 2009-06-17 16:03:25 Anyone who has dropped by AMNP in the past week or so has seen that the site has suffered both from my being asleep at the wheel, and some kind of server access issues. We’ve apparently been switched to a new server by our host, which accounts for at least some of the downtime over the past few days - which … Architecture.MNP 2009-06-15 03:01:04 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7226391105498160058 I was surprised to come across an architecture-related Charlie Rose video that hadn’t already been featured here on AMNP - this one features both Richard Rogers and Steven Holl. Sure, it’s discussing ‘old’ projects - but listening to architects discuss their work can be a great distraction. ::Video Sundays, or VS, is a weekly feature here on AMNP.

Architecture.MNP 2009-06-08 09:00:35 This week I have an important question that I think demands an answer: WHY DO HOMES IN THE US HAVE SHUTTERS [yeah, I broke out the all-caps]? I happened to be painting a house yesterday for some extra money, and painting the shutters was probably the worst part. This got me thinking - what are these things even for? For those … Architecture.MNP 2009-06-07 10:32:38 ::Video Sunday is a weekly thing here at AMNP.

It doesn’t really seem as if these ninjas here need any help promoting their gear - least of all from me. I mean, how am I supposed to compete with a Donny Wahlberg endorsement? I can’t sing and dance, I know … Architecture.MNP 2009-06-05 17:03:53 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMicwZUAlME To be honest, this reminded me a lot of our current Ninja of the Month, Dan Hisel, and his Cadyville Sauna project. That said, it still seems interesting - especially that multiple small, reflective buildings may interact with one another, somehow directing users at particular, chosen views and landscapes.
