[image: entry stairs to porch] Designed for a family of 4, the de Manio/Downing Residence is a single-family home occupying a 5-acre, wood site outside Boston. Meeting the demands of the contemporary family, the home’s program called for 4 bedrooms, a large, formal living/dining space for entertaining, more casual spaces for the family’s day-to-day activities, and home offices for both parents.

[’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 …

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 …

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. For more architecture-related videos, …

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 …

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?

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. The non-profit project - Watchmans Hut is a guest artist studio that gives …

Designed by LA-based husband-wife duo CHA:COL [Chinmaya+Apurva Collaborative], the Fairwood Building(s) is a proposed pair of towers to be built as part of ‘Infrastructure City’ in India. They’ll contain some kind of high-tech services commercial space. All that said - I just really liked these renderings [which is really why I’m posting this project]. The project is nice enough - but it’s …
