House of Architects and Thermal Baths at the 7132 Hotel in Vals Switzerland

Four top architects – Thom Mayne (Morphosis) (images 05 + 06), Tadao Ando (image 03) , Kengo Kuma (image 04) and Peter Zumthor (image 02) – have been tapped to contribute designs for the new “House of Architects” at the 7132 Hotel in Vals Switzerland. The latest addition to the hotel, The House of Architects features a lobby and entrance also designed by Morphosis Architects, and 7 room designs centered around a single material. 

The thermal baths (images 07-10) are a magnificent, internationally acclaimed architectural masterpiece created by Peter Zumthor. Made from 60,000 slabs of Vals quartzite, the thermal baths were classified as a listed building shortly after completion.

Photographer Captures Beauty in Communist Architecture  The photographer Roman Bezjak spent five years traveling around Eastern Europe taking pictures of communist-era buildings. His images show grand gestures in concrete and weird constructions that could be in a science-fiction movie. His intention was not to judge the structures, but to show them from a new perspective.

1. A department store in the Ukrainian city Dnipropetrovsk

2. Skopje’s main post office.

3. A publishing house in Sarajevo, Bosnia. It shows signs of damage from the war. “It was near Snipers’ Alley,” a street in the Bosnian capital that received its nickname during the Balkan wars.

4. A patriotic mosaic on the National History Museum in Tirana, Albania, built in 1981.

5. Nemiga Street in the Belarusian capital Minsk

6.  Socialist building in Tbilisi, Georgia

Nowe Oceanarium  |  Mikolai Adamus Location: Gdynia, Poland  |  Visualization: Igor Brożynaf

- The Aquarium on the South Pier is an obligatory stop for every tourist and school trip to Gdynia. The management of the oceanarium have started to consider extending the building so as to introduce new attractions. It is however time to give thought to the question of whether to extend a building that does not fully satisfy the requirements of a modern oceanarium, or whether to construct a new building with a structure and attractions that match those of others in Europe.
