Scabies Still Getting Bumps

A "TWIN" THE EMPIRE STATE DESIGNED BY PELLI

Council New York Community today approved construction of a twin building of the Empire State Building, the tallest skyscraper in the city, which will be screened for the study of Argentine architect Cesar Pelli.

The new building will rise on 34th Street up to Penn Station, a few meters from the famous building that was hung in the famous King Kong movie. The proposed new skyscraper, designed by the Pelli-Clarke-Pelli, provides 67 apartments for a total height of 370 meters, compared with 102 stories and 381 meters from the historic New York skyscrapers. Supported by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the project enjoyed the active opposition of the owner of the Empire, Anthony Malkin, who criticized the decision of the Communal Council. For Malkin, new construction and forever alter significantly the horizon (skyline) of the city. "Maybe people do not realize now, but we are changing the skyline fairly?, asked.
" It's hard to imagine that the city Paris authorize a few meters from the Eiffel Tower construction a structure of the same dimensions " added.
Despite criticism, the New York Community Council approved the project with 47 votes in favor and only one against.

The vote by 47 votes to 1 that city council was made after of a fierce lobbying campaign and relationships public by the owners of the Empire State to stop this tower rival , which was designed by the architect Cesar Pelli Tucuman. Argue that their large profile will be overshadowed by Empire.

came to propose an area of \u200b\u200b500 meters around the Empire State, in the 34 and the 5 th Avenue, where it would not be allowed to build a similar skyscraper . But the council paid little attention to these arguments when it approved the planned tower, known as 15 Penn Plaza, on Seventh Avenue, across from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.
Christine Quinn, spokeswoman for the council, said that this project is about jobs and noted that "New York City is progressing in and out of the recession."
"This project and this vote today will help ensure that the City of New York has an office tower XXI century, new and important, in downtown Manhattan said Quinn.
The project also received support from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose administration favors from long ventures near major transit points as Penn Station, the busiest station in North America, where they spend more than 450 thousand passengers every day. Due in part to its proximity to a transit center, the builder of 15 Penn Plaza, Vornado Realty Trust, was benefited area permits that allow you to erect a building 56 percent larger than that normally allowed.
"People do not come to New York to visit caves," noted Mitchell Moss, professor of Urban Policy at the University of New York and informal adviser to the mayor.

"People want to see the sights, the height and the experience of being in a tall building. The skyscrapers allow us to make the best use of a limited amount of land " he said.
Anthony Malkin, owner of the Empire State, was in favor of construction in the area around them, but the tower proposal should be reduced to not affect the view of his building, which is only since its inauguration 79 years ago. "We think that 15 Penn Plaza is too close to the Empire State, of 381 meters in height, height and design, "said Malkin.
The Empire State, which reaches 443 meters when including its lightning rod, was the highest in the world for over 30 years . And in New York do not want that shadow.

Rectangle Tablecloth For Round Table

Lumino House / Davide Macullo + Marco Strozzi

Located in the Swiss alpine village of Lumino, north of Bellinzona, this house is a unitary piece, complementing and echoing the silence that exists in your environment. In the surrounding area is characterized by traditional houses built of stone, many of which date back centuries, marked by the use of this unique building material. The new house is conceived as an appropriate response and interpretation of its exposed concrete form recalls the strength and presence of these old stone houses. The house acts as a standard in the old core and modern residential expansion.
addition to local references and material, the concept and approach to the project was influenced more by the desire of customers expressing a minimalist aesthetic, both internally and externally. As such, the quality of the rooms in the house so we could define explicit architecture and not by objects placed within it. The idea of \u200b\u200b"monolith" minimalist concept was adopted as the generator of the project and became a principle applied to all elements, both functional specifications, and the construction of the program, from foundation to the smallest details of termination .
The geometry of the plan is generated by two parallelepipeds displaced following the fall of the site. The typology created by the staggered geometry underlies both the peculiarities of the landscape as well as offering each of the levels is a direct relationship with the gardens surroundings. The dual vertical connection, inside and outside, is related to all spaces of the house in a spiral movement and is in a constant play with the perception of its new inhabitants "of time and scale . The interesting thing about the house is the capacity of space to expand and extend the landscape, allowing the outside part of the composition. While individual spaces can be defined geometrically, each space of flows continue to the outside.
The principle of the house is to protect and ensure privacy and the privacy of its inhabitants, but at the same time, paradoxically, represent an air of generosity and openness to the world. The intention is to create places where residents are turned on and connected to the wider community in a particular way, beyond maddening filter of virtual communication. This physical relationship with the community restore a healthy balance of mind.

on earth excavations were kept to a minimum, only the service areas located in the basement (-1.4m)
parking and pedestrian access from the street (0.0 m) . Half a level above the entrance hall are two
bedrooms, both with direct access to a terrace (+1.4 m). On the next floor (+2.8 m) is the master suite, again with
its own terrace and garden abajo.llegando access to the dining room and kitchen area that opens to the south from the center of the lodge (+4.2 m), with access to the terraces below. The central lodge, which offers a panoramic view of the roofs, can also be coated with a hydraulic roof when required.

Along with the inherent values \u200b\u200bof specific heat, the sustainable credentials of the house also benefit from the heat and photovoltaic cells located on the roof.

According to the director of the museum, the architecture is Dali's fantasy with respond well to certain property associated with the climate of the area.

Florida is known that a victim of strong hurricanes every year and this museum is in the ground is affected by the floods and winds. For this, the museum was designed with thick concrete walls with 18 "so that each of the valuable works remain protected.

This strong and tough rigid protective structure lines is abruptly interrupted by the organic and irregular shapes of glass that go around and punching this box. This sharp contrast of materials and shapes reflects the world of the rational and surreal that predominates in the work of Dali.
This organizational structure of glass is supported by steel triangulations, which have a special meaning associated with the admiration I had this artist by Buckminster Fuller. Before the advent of technologies associated with the design, the architect developed sophisticated structural systems, preliminary to what we see often in contemporary architecture.
One of the most poise within the space is a spiral staircase that goes up, which represents Dalí's fascination with DNA and the Fibonacci series.
