The Intricate, Undulating Brickwork at Eladio Dieste’s Cristo Obrero Church in Uruguay

Gonzalo Viramonte has released a series of photographs that focus in on the use of bricks by engineer Eladio Dieste in his Atlántida Cristo Obrero church.

Viramonte shows us the essence of the project with an artful register that places the serial yet simple material element (the brick) at the forefront. This gallery also celebrates the potential and versatility of bricks by highlighting the artfully geometric interior and exterior spaces and the apertures that allow natural light to cast upon the walls, floors, and other surfaces.

Hand-Drawn Sketches of Iconic 20th-Century Homes

Diego Inzunza, a young architect and illustrator from Chile, has created a series entitled “Architectural Classics” that beautifully depicts iconic pieces of residential architecture from the 20th century. These axonometric sketches reveal the architects’ overriding vision for each project in an understated and understandable way. From Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson to Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, Inzunza’s drawings bring a fresh perspective to these classic and beloved projects.

What are your thoughts on the architectural style portrayed in the Studio Ghibli animations? I've always found Howl's moving castle chaotic yet fascinating at the same time :)

Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s architectural creations are the foundations of the worlds where their stories take place and just like their stories they tend to be unique, a bit surreal, and take inspiration from many different sources. Howl’s Moving Castle is a chaotic creation, but it is that way on purpose to serve the story and it does not represent Studio Ghibli’s sensitivities. 

Here are some of my favorite architectural creations from Studio Ghibli:

Jan Vranovský’s Parallel Worlds

In the words of the artist Jan Vranovský:

Photography of man-made, synthetic and thus culturally significant environments, heavily focused on architecture and urban areas of Japan and East Asia. More specifically, focus of this photoblog lays in capturing cultural patterns unwittingly occurring in mundane, often neglected or less known urban areas, no-name, local or vernacular architecture and customs, in search for the “lowest common denominator” of architectural and behavioural Japanese-ness. I’m greatly concerned about role of cultural memory and identity in form-generative and organisational processes in the city. I’m interested in capturing aesthetics that are usual by-product of such processes.
