Gathering the architecture community on Tumblr.
Reblog this, so that we can see who’s who.
After a week or two, I’ll post every single blog that has an architect/architecture student behind it, or any blog that has something to do with architecture.
It will be a nice promo for everyone

This article on the new sustainable NASA building in California got me interested in the technology behind its electrical sustainability. The NASA building uses Bloom Energy Energy Servers, which use a stack of ceramic powder cells to create an electrical system that functions off of the central power grid day and night. One server is said to meet the base needs of 100 homes. Reading up on this system got me excited at the possible humanitarian uses of the servers. Functioning as a powerful alternative to grid power, servers could be purchased and housed by schools and corporations, and connected to surrounding homes and neighborhoods in the event of a major disaster shutting down the main energy grid. Specifically in New Orleans, a school like Tulane, whose charter dictates working towards the goal of public good, might consider purchasing and housing a few of these servers in order to be able to provide emergency public power to the surrounding areas.

This is not just about saving a modern gem, it’s about saving a teaching and learning tool, one that shows that architectural advancement doesn’t have to go against the concept of building regionally, for where you are.

These are the books I have left to read in these coming two weeks. A little sampling of things I’ve picked up on trips or at work, and am just now managing to get around to. Really excited about all of them .

James Stirling, Cornell University Performing Arts Center, Perspective Construction Sketch of Loggia and Entrance Hall, Ithaca, New York, 1983-1988
Had to reblog this because you just don’t see perspective drawings like this very often. People are always talking about trying to add narrative to their diagrams via all sorts of new-fangled view-points and data-sets. Stirling manages to do it with the most normal of views, simply by adding the element of human work. Really stunning.
As a bonus treat, Stirling’s thesis from the liverpool school of architecture is available in full and annotated online through the CCA. In it you can find many more beautiful plans and models.
