The Working Together Master Plan is located on 120 acres in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Home to a non-profit residential treatment facility, the organization’s principles became our design touchstone as we worked to create a campus that centers the occupant’s experience. The site was formerly a bastion of civic and liberal political community, a history whose continuity we sought to uphold in our plan. Caption Caption Designed as a cluster, the extensive plan carefully balances landscape with building access and adjacencies. In the process, we navigated the complexities of civic and geotechnic constraints, responding to the intent and mission of an existing land easement. The building designs include adaptive reu...

The Kraxlkollektiv describes itself on its own website as follows:  "We are a young initiative from Munich, [...] that wants to share its passion for bouldering with other people. Our specific goal is to set up several free and publicly accessible bouldering walls in Munich and thus upgrade unused urban spaces. Although bouldering gyms have opened in many places in the most beautiful city in the world in recent years, there is still a lack of low-threshold facilities that are available to all citizens free of charge and accessible without barriers. [...]" The largest project to date to realise this goal is now located in a former underpass below Rosenheimer Straße. With the help of the IFUB*, but above all with a huge number of... More

Carolina Lacaz The guideline of the offices, ACR Arquitetos Associados and Noak Studio, hired for the development of the project, was to emphasize the original structure of the building, evidencing the installation of the new infrastructure necessary for the operation of a health space, also in an apparent way. This goes back to another foundation of the startup: transparency. &ldqu... More

Text: Lior Galili. The new Health Clinic building in Nof-Yam is a two-story public facility built for Clalit, the main national health services provider in Israel. Located between the sea and a major highway, the building forms a moment of stability. Nimrod Levi The ground floor, which serves both the reception area and the parking lot, establishes the balanced nature of the building. Half sustained by columns, half by concrete walls, it presents the visitors with a dialectic of shadow and light and of lightness and stability. In a more subtle manner, the three pairs of columns—each comprised of a thin circular column followed by an elongated, massive, (yet playful), vertical support—imply an interplay between fixed and fl...
