The beauty of this form of sectional organisation is that it juxtaposes two opposite principles. The stone enclosure is built up from the ground with load bearing walls; the glazed truss is a frame. The stone enclosure is cloistered and inward looking, belonging among the garden walls. The glazed pavilion is open out to views to the horizon on all sides. -- ArchDaily

Angel Gonzalez Library, Madrid, Spain, 2010 designed by Carlos de Riaño Lozano

The main book section occupies the other subdivisions, facing the northwest, northeast and southeast. This room was carefully designed. It receives sunlight all around the outer perimeter, which seems to contradict the traditional light from the north assigned to libraries. We have taken advantage of the large variety of sunlight-controlling glass as a filter with two aims: to avoid the direct impact of sunlight and to act as a translucent screen from the environment. -- ArchDaily

Cite De L'Ocean et du Surf, Biarritz, France, 2011 designed by Steven Holl Architects

The building form derives from the spatial concept "under the sky"/"under the sea". A concave "under the sky" shape creates a central gathering plaza, open to sky and sea, with the horizon in the distance. The convex structural ceiling forms the "under the sea" exhibition spaces. This concept generates a unique profile and form for the building, and through its insertion and efficient site utilization, the project integrates seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. -- architect's web site

Lettering Large: Art and Design of Monumental Typography, by Steven Heller and Mirko Ilić The Monacelli Press, 2013 Hardcover, 224 pages

Most of the examples of monumental typography collected in the book are fairly recent, but Heller and Ilić do acknowledge the history of large letters on buildings and in space, be it inscriptions on the buildings of ancient Rome or early modern attempts to synthesize architecture and graphic design. If one thing comes across while imbibing the many examples in the book's 240 pages, it is the blurring of the boundaries between art, architecture, typography, graphic design, and even landscape in many contemporary settings. -- A Weekly Dose of Architecture

Fire Station #4, Columbus, Indiana, USA, 1967 designed by Robert Venturi

The building committee requested an ordinary building that was easy to maintain. Venturi’s design was a trapezoidal-shaped structure of cinderblock, red unglazed brick, white glazed brick and glass. The 37 foot hose drying tower located at front center provides a focal point to the otherwise low utilitarian building. Venturi made the sides and rear of the building as simple as possible and treated the front as if it were a sign. It briefly attracts your attention as you speed past on the busy road. Venturi has described buildings like this as “decorated sheds”, simple, even boring buildings that use signs or decorative elements to describe the function of the building. In this case the hose drying tower with the giant number on top, the white brick and the large flagpole in front convey a sense of civic importance to the building. It is meant to look like a fire station and not to convey any other image. -- 52 weeks of  Columbus, Indiana

Palomar Welcome Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, 2008 designed by Johnsen Schmaling Architects

A long translucent glass scrim with supergraphic etching wraps the windowless face of the existing brick building, creating an elegant, immaterial facade that transcends the distinction between building and signage. Illuminated from behind with off-the-shelf fluorescent strip lights, the scrim transforms the building into an urban Laterna Magica, a beacon projecting its message of change into the neighborhood poised for a renaissance. The south-facing scrim also creates a thermal buffer for the building, reducing the solar impact on the building envelope during the summer while providing an additional protective layer in colder months. -- ArchDaily

Villiot-Rapée Apartments, Paris, France, 2011 designed by HAMONIC + MASSON

Each level and each flat has a different floor lending itself to different practices and uses. Rather than being like a balcony, a loggia (or a terrace), which can be seen and used on a daily basis, winds its way around the outside of the flats and gives residents the feeling that they live outdoors. This “poured garden” creates close ties to the building’s external environment. The silver-colored gangway ceilings underscore the difference between inside and outside. The loggias in the covered ribbons are clad in aluminium and the balcony areas in stainless steel. Then, a system of aluminium screen walls, colored glass, stainless steel lists and mirror sheets, stacked up on top of each other, story on story, contribute to deconstructing the façades and to mix up inside and outside, giving our two towers a Parisian caravanserai look. -- ArchDaily
