The Ramblings of an A.T Student

@ramblingsofanatstudent

My name is Sarah Thornber and I am currently a second year studying Architectural Technology at Nottingham Trent University. On this blog I will go through my time at University, famous Architects and interesting Architecture that I have found. I will try and update it regularly with work that I have done and stuff that I have found.

Photovoltaic bricks and glass are one of my favorite technological advancements and I can’t wait to see buildings covered in the stuff.

Magnificent Architecture in Barcelona

When he takes a walk in the streets of Barcelona, Gauvin Lapetoule is not one to look at his feet. He prefers looking up and discovering architectural jewels ignored by most people. The French photographer based in the Catalan capital offers us this splendid series which is an invitation to look up. From the Sagrada Familia to the Plaza Milans, he captured magnificent images of the city which reveal its architectural wealth.

Mountain Hut in Obereggen

Peter Pichler Architecture, in collaboration with Arch. Pavol Mikolajcak, won a competition to design a new mountain hut at 2.000m in the Italian Dolomites in 2015. The new hut contains a restaurant and is located next to the cable station Oberholz in Obereggen with direct connection to the ski slope.

The cantilevering structure grows out of the hill like a fallen tree with three main branches creating a symbiosis with the landscape. Each of them is facing towards the three most important surrounding mountains. The interior is defined by a complex, curvilinear and visible wood structure that gradually fades into walls and creates so called “pockets” for intimacy. It could also be seen as a new open space interpretation of the classic “Stube”, well known in typical structures of the area.
