obra del gran nervi
Pier Luigi Nervi (21 de junio de 1891 - 9 de enero de 1979) fue un ingeniero y arquitecto Italiano. Estudió en la Universidad de Bolonia y se graduó en 1913. Nervi enseñó como profesor de ingeniería en la Universidad de Roma entre 1946 y 1961. Es conocido por su brillantez como ingeniero estructural y su novedoso uso de hormigón armado. Es uno de los máximos exponentes de del movimiento de arquitectura racionalista de los años veinte y treinta.
"The Palace of Labour designed and built by Nervi and his son Antonio for the Turin exhibition of 1961 was the result of a competition held in 1959. The building—containing 85,000 square feet of exhibition space—had to be capable of conversion to a technical school at the end of the exhibition. It was erected in less than eighteen months.
Like Mies van der Rohe's buildings, there is a subtle fusion of structure and space in Nervi's buildings. But whereas Mies searched for free internal space, Nervi's aesthetic is dependent on an energetic exhibition of the structural parts of a building. The Palace of Labour was no exception... the simple 525 feet square shape was divided into sixteen structurally separate steel roofed compartments each supported on 65-foot-high concrete stems. The external walls, entirely clad in glass, wrapped round the perimeter of the building and incorporated large 70-foot-high vertical mullions."

Commentary
"The house Gropius built for himself at Lincoln, Mass, stands on one of the most charming sites of New England, on the crest of a hill in the midst of an orchard of 90 apple trees, only half an hour's ride by car from Harvard. Mrs. Storrow, owner of all the land round about, left Walter Gropius quite free to select the site for the house that she was to finance. It is fitted unobtrusively into the landscape while, at the same time, overlooking its surroundings.
The structure of the house consists of the traditional light wood frame of New England, sheathed with white painted clapboard siding: only in this case the siding runs vertically instead of horizontally. Rough fieldstone walls, like those employed in the seaside house built around this time at Cohasset, are here not yet incorporated into the structure of the house itself.
—S. Giedion. Walter Gropius: Work and Teamwork. p71.
The Creator's Words
"Very gradually the process of building is splitting up into shop production of building parts on the one hand, and site assembly of such parts on the other. More and more the tendency develops to prefabricate component parts of buildings rather than whole houses. Here is where the emphasis belongs...
The future architect and builder will have at their disposal something like a box of bricks to play with, and infinite variety of interchangable, machine-made parts for building which will be bought in the competitive market and assembled into individual buildings of a different appearance and size."
—Walter Gropius. from S. Giedion. Walter Gropius: Work and Teamwork. p77.

Leonardo Glass Cube is the first permanent building implemented by 3deluxe. On the premises of the glazing company Glaskoch, the Leonardo Glass Cube conveys to guests and the staff alike the company’s philosophy and visions in an inspiring manner across a total area of 2,900 sq m.
The glass façade of the building represents the passage to a hyper-naturalistic world with heightened aesthetic appeal. The graphically illustrated elements displayed on it were derived from the architecture and the surrounding landscape.
Three white sculptural structures – so-called ‘Genetics’ – connect the separate zones of the building to each other again. On the glass façade ‘Genetics’ appear again in a two-dimensional version. The superimposed pilaster strips are continued in a network of white concrete pathways that surrounds the entire building and lets it grow together with its location.
On both floors the wall rolls in to form niches that are used for various functions such as themed product orchestrations and meeting lounges. In particular in the breaks in the wall these lines predominate as a significant graphic design element that is continued on the ceiling as a system of ventilation joints.

uno de los museos-casa más fascinantes que existen.
Soane was born in 1753‚ the son of a bricklayer‚ and died after a long and distinguished career‚ in 1837.
Soane designed this house to live in‚ but also as a setting for his antiquities and his works of art. After the death of his wife (1815)‚ he lived here alone‚ constantly adding to and rearranging his collections. Having been deeply disappointed by the conduct of his two sons‚ one of whom survived him‚ he determined to establish the house as a museum to which 'amateurs and students' should have access
