The Spacious Prefab WingHouse Unfolds From a Shipping Container
by Andrew Michler, 11/11/11

The prefab WingHouse is a promising design which provides quick shelter that looks to be also quite durable. Unfolding from a shipping container sized box, the building becomes nearly three times the shipping size in just five hours of set up time. The finished product does not look temporary one bit—the multiple configurations can make for a small home, dorms, or office space out of the open 80 square meters.

The Plastic “Bug Eyes” on the Private Villa Nurbs in Spain Save Energy for the Owners
by Tafline Laylin, 11/15/11

Have you ever seen a villa with "bug eyes" on it before? While they're an unusual architectural feature, they also act as energy-saving building materials in the case of Villa Nurbs in Spain. True to architect Enric Ruiz Geli's reputation for using sustainable materials in residences, these ETFE plastic bubbles are more than a marketing stunt. Instead, they help to deflect sunlight, thereby reducing the Villa Nurbs' energy consumption.

Single-Family City Home Marries Modernism with Greenery

Creating a green residential oasis is no easy feat when faced on three sides with potentially nosy neighbors on an urban plot – the key is making the hard building decisions look easy.

One of Sou Fujimoto's many imaginative houses. I had the pleasure of hearing him presenting his works - he's a terrific person, very humble and far from the cliché pretentious architect.

I love this type of home. I wonder how much this costs to build approx?

amor de cosmos · #**272** Posted **Nov 18, 2011, 5:30 PM**

^ probably a lot, but I think could be made cheaper by using cinder blocks instead of poured concrete

Casa Tierra housing, Albuquerque, United States
Serrano Monjaraz arquitectos embrace environmental aspects into Casa Tierra

The construction system of Casa Tierra was largely carried out using Pressed Earth Blocks (PEB) made from soil extracted from a surrounding lot. This system was selected because of its wide range of desirable qualities, in addition to an aesthetically pleasing look. Being cost and energy efficient, fire and pest resistant, virtually soundproof, durable, and structurally sound, its suitability was starkly obvious.

PEB provides complete architectural freedom and is made from non-toxic, readily available, natural raw materials. Compared to other systems, it is more flexible and does not affect the width of the walls. The soil was pressed with 3% of concrete and 7% of lime, with the remaining 90% of the material, necessary for construction, extracted directly on-site. In order to accommodate this demand for earth, a basement was incorporated into the design.
