In 2021 Liu Wei staged ‘Nudita’ at White Cube Bermondsey, an exhibition that took its title from an essay by the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben.
Liu Wei conceived the exhibition as a summary of enquiries into the state of society at a particular moment in time following the global pandemic, culminating in a large-scale installation that evoked civic ruins.
A site-specific installation by the artist is currently on view in
‘JANUS’, the inaugural exhibition of Palazzo Diedo in Venice.
Visit the exhibition in Venice until 24 November 2024.

The search for a home-studio in Naples led architect Antonio Giuseppe Martiniello to an apartment in this very palazzo. It was renovated in the 1800s, left uninhabited for about 90 years, and has been reborn as the headquarters of Martiniello’s firm Keller Architettura, where the ever-changing grammar of good architecture faces new challenges.

In 1998, Zaha Hadid envisioned Rome’s National Museum of the XXI Century Arts (MAXXI) as a place where the boundaries between architecture and art would blur, making the act of visiting the space an aesthetic experience in itself. More than two decades later, this vision is revisited in “Ambienti 1956-2010: Environments by Women Artists II,” an exhibition showcasing immersive art by eighteen female artists from diverse backgrounds and generations.

Cloud of Luster Chapel | by KTX archiLAB - ()
KTX archiLAB: “Luster, glitter, sparkle, light, shine, and bright are fundamentals of any modern wedding ceremony. The time for writing a new page in people’s life, a white page, all in joy, all in happiness, all together, open to the future, reflecting dreams and hopes, reflecting the Luster of Life.
The previous Aile-Blanche Chapel, part of La-Vienna Wedding Ceremony Hall in Himeji, Japan, was planned to be replaced by a new one that translates the importance and significance of the wedding day into physical space, a place where to engrave the memory of one of the most important days in life.
Dreams and light were depicted as curves and glass, a clouc shaped space for the chapel was enveloped in transparent curved glass bringing daylight from all directions. Only the organ space and the technical room are enveloped in a circular white wall at the back of the chapel.
The Chapel opens to the garden and the green walls in front.
The left side is open to a water basin and limited by a green fire wall isolating the chapel from the main ceremony hall building.”

Sabel Speedster
John Sabel was our kind of guy. Rather than buying a boring ready-made sports car like a normal human being, John took a stock VW floor pan and built a stunning hand-laminated fiberglass body around it to produce this gorgeous prototype.
Borrowing its suspension, gearbox, engine, and brakes from a Porsche 356 B and riding on 550 Spyder wheels, this 1961 Porsche-Sable Mk1 for sale with was successfully campaigned across America in numerous SCCA meets, where it proved itself a fearsome competitor on short tracks that made use of its excellent braking ability.
In 2012, this rare prototype underwent an extensive restoration, returning it to its original configuration under the supervision of John Sable himself. Via

Created in 2020, the artwork juxtaposes dried material with the living, breathing viewer.
“I tried to focus more on the aspect of what we would be missing the most during the last seconds of leaving this place.. My guess (is that) it would be something banal, like fields of wheat during the sunset... hanging everything on the ceiling creates an illusion of floating for the viewer as if you are being taken to the sky.” Via .arte

Library in the Valley | by Design Center of Haoyuan Group
Design Center of Haoyuan Group: “In the suburbs of Guangzhou, there is a health, resort, and art community, covering an area of 15,000 acres, called Tian Ren Shan Shui Land Art Community. An important building is necessary for the elderly can feel the core spirit of the community: regaining the value of life. The building should be steady enough to become a symbol of the community, and a flowing shape contains vitality and vitality, a touching space that evokes the resonance of the heart.
The project site is a triangular valley of about 1,000 square meters. Surrounded by roads on three sides, the height difference of the site is large. One side is close to a tall retaining wall. The building plan adapts to the boundary of the site, and after evenly retreating the boundary, it encloses a trapezoidal plan of about 500 square meters. The spirit of the building is regaining passion for life, the same as a movie called , which tells the story about a blind officer who is about to give up his life, and finally rekindles his passion affected by a young man accompanied with him. The architectural design is inspired by the classical scene of the film, a tango of the protagonist in a restaurant: the elegance and passion of the dance symbolize the enthusiasm of life.” Via

In 2018, Snohetta was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study to revitalize the 1930’s harbor bath in the coastal town of Arendal in the southern part of Norway.
Originally designed by architect Ketil Ugland, the facility was used by Arendal Swimming Club for competitions, training and other aquatic activities. In 1947, the harbor bath closed its doors before opening again during the 1960s, this time as a jazz club. With its slender and clean lines, Knubben was a small yet elegant example of the modernist spirit. After substantial decay however, the diving platform was demolished by the Norwegian Armed Forces in the 1980s.
In our feasibility study, the new Knubben is interpreted as an architectural response to the past, conserving vital parts to be memorialized, whilst emphasizing the becoming of Arendal as an urban destination for both national and international audiences.
Knubben draws inspiration from the shapes we find in islets and skerries along the Norwegian coast. It resembles a block of stone shaped during the Last Glacial Period, characterized by abraded shapes where soft concave and convex walls form cavities in the landscape. To represent the terrain as accurately as possible, the construction will consist of horizontal layers following the contour lines of a map.

The Sheats-Goldstein Residence has been a subject of fascination for years, and recently the office of was enlisted with making additions to this much-loved John Lautner house. Thankfully, they’re sympathetic - even deferential - to the original design, blending perfectly within the lines of Lautner’s original pen strokes and radical geometries.
After all, no house is ever entirely complete, but maintaining a conversation with the original vision remains crucial. Lautner himself made adaptations to the house in 1972 on behalf of the owner. Then, in the 1990s, further changes were made by Lautner’s apprentice Duncan Nicholson. Kristopher Conner and James Perry, whose eponymous studio was tasked with the sensitive work this year, worked underneath Nicholson;
It’s hard to imagine anyone better suited to the task, given they had assisted with the installation of a James Turrell Skyspace here previously.
The main focus of the work was around this lower terrace of the Goldstein Entertainment Complex, which encompasses the poolside and much of the lush landscaping the house is known for, the Skyspace, and now a spa, lounge, and reception area. A tennis court sits atop the building, which is linked to the main house via a pathway.
Ultimately, since Goldstein’s 1972 purchase of the home, it has come to epitomise the glamour and style of the hills above Beverly Hills, and the latest additions simply confirm one thing: Old Hollywood isn’t dead quite yet.
