Located in the heart of West Hollywood, this new eleven unit housing project emphasizes the central importance of shared open space for the residents and the community. Formosa takes what would be the internalized open space of the courtyard and moves it to the exterior of the building to create a park which occupies approximately one third (4,600 sf) of the project site.

A private family home located in an urban environment by @pitsou_kedem_architect
The façade of the house is in fact a kind of sealed “box” composed of two large volumes. One horizontal façade is made up of a white aluminum skin with a repetitive graphic pattern in which, here and there, in a seemingly random way, cut-out openings allow a glimpse into the house during the day and the filtering out of artificial light at night. The upper volume is constructed of exposed architectural concrete to create a tension against the lower volume. Designed to create a sense of flight, the upper volume is positioned on a diagonal and emphasizes the contrast between it and the perforated white aluminum façade. The envelope facing the street forms a minimalistic and polished object that accentuates the monastic and condensed language chosen by the designer. The street-facing façade stands out because of its restraint, successfully fulfilling its purpose of creating a precise and sleek appearance.

@coulon_associes As part of an urban renewal scheme, the town of Vaulx-en-Velin decided to combine with this large school group a number of programmes offering neighbourhood services, including a creche, a dance hall, a sports hall, a small library, and a restaurant. The building has a very unitary appearance, with the classrooms spread over a length of 40 metres as if on a bridge. It clearly asserts its status as a public facility.

The various entrances focus on a common forecourt, from which the programmes spread out in a complex yet fluid imbrication. The ground floor is given over to the creche, the sports hall, and the nursery school. To reach the primary school, the pupils must use the large staircase leading to a courtyard area on the upper storey.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the lack of exhibitions and commissions, artists around the world started to struggle. The @artistsupportpledge , an initiative born in March of 2020 in response to this global crisis, seeks to support creative individuals, including architectural photographers. Founded by artist Matthew Burrows, the global movement connects communities in order to ensure “an equitable and sustainable economy for artists and makers of all countries, media, and ethnicities”.

Using Instagram, the project encourages artists to post their work using the hashtag #artistsupportpledge, pricing each of their creations at no more than £200. Creating equal opportunities for all, every time an artist reaches £1,000 of sales, they pledge to buy £200 of work from other artists. Betting on the generosity of culture and exploring its values, The Artist Support Pledge or APS generates an accessible platform where anyone can participate.

Architectural photographers also got on board and took part in this pledge. Edmund Sumner, a professional architectural photographer for over 20 years states that “when the Coronavirus was in full swing, I found that most works for the foreseeable future both domestic and foreign had been canceled, I was more than worried”. After noticing the involvement of his photographer friend with the initiative, Sumner decided to join and put first a series of images of a Cinema in India designed by Le Corbusier, then another series from the High Court of Chandigarh also by Le Corbusier. “The Leaning Man clocked up over 7k likes and print requests came from around the world,” says the artist.

Harry Nuriev's Blue Room Hideaway The founder of @crosbystudios is clearly still in his blue phase. He had the idea to make a ground-floor studio apartment into a hidden city getaway available to rent for meetings, short stays, or events. Harry turned the 57-square-meter Moscow space into two zones: one containing the bedroom and living room and the second designated for the kitchen, laundry, wardrobe, and bathroom. It's like being in a sculptural dreamscape. The furniture throughout the space is custom Crosby Studios, and the contrast of patterned tiles is a unique and classic Russian print called Gzhel. crosby-studios.com

With an increasing number of individuals turning t

With an increasing number of individuals turning to an eco-friendly lifestyle, plant-based carpets and rugs made from natural, renewable fibres are becoming increasingly popular.

Plant-based carpet and rug options on the market today include sisal, seagrass, coir and jute carpets and rugs, which are biodegradable, can be recycled and are extremely environmentally responsible.

Superior Sisal adapts to seasons
Agave Sisalana grows in semi-arid regions of Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil and Mexico. Sisal fibres are extracted after the leaf of the plant has been crushed and beaten into a pulp. The fibres are washed, dried and carefully graded before being spun into yarn. Sisal has a rope-like texture, is durable and does not trap dust nor create static. It holds up in heavy traffic areas and comes in an off-white hue, andcan be dyed with vegetable dye into various attractive colours. Depending on the weave, certain Sisal carpet and rugs will feel softer underfoot than others. It is a stretch carpet, meaning it will have a slightly tighter feel in winter and a softer feel in summer.

Shiny Jute is the golden fibre
Jute is a seasonal crop cultivated in the Bengal region of India and in Bangladesh. It grows in plain alluvial soil and standing water, and within 100 days of the seeds being sown, it is ready for harvest. The woody hemp is soaked in water for nearly a month before the long, soft, shiny fibres are taken from the skin of the plant. Once dried, jute can be spun into coarse strong threads and is referred to as the “golden fibre” because of its colour and cost-effectiveness. These thick, strong, tightly wound carpets and rugs are durable in low traffic areas, breathable and versatile, complementing a variety of spaces.

Superb Seagrass reduces noise
Seagrass is a fast-growing, plentiful plant grown in the paddy fields of China and flooded with seawater during crop season. It is soaked in fresh water for several weeks before being hand collected, sun dried, sorted and woven into twine or rope for carpet weaving. Seagrass carpets and rugs are smooth, shiny and highly stain and water resistant, making them a smart choice for high-traffic areas and entryways. They are sa
