James Turrell: The Art of Light and Space

The work of contemporary American artist James Turrell is dedicated to working with light and space. In more than fifty years, he has created a huge number of light installations and architectural objects in different parts of the world.

In the 1960s, he began experimenting with lighting together with members of the California Light and Space movement and introducing shining geometric shapes into the interior. He then moved on to create a series of works called Skyspaces (closed spaces with open access to the sky), as well as dynamic installations, that change with time.

Manipulations with light allow the artist to create unusual visual illusions, which catch the viewer by surprise. Each installation activates sensory perception, that facilitates discovery: what seemed, for example, a cube, in reality, is two light planes of projected light. And a black square on the ceiling - a portal into the night sky.

Center for the Ocean and Surfing (Cite de l'Ocean et du Surf) by Stephen Hall

A few years ago in Biarritz, in the South of France, the Center for the Ocean and Surfing (Cite de l'Ocean et du Surf) was opened by the famous American architect Stephen Hall in collaboration with Solange Fabian.

The building has an area of 3800sq.m constructed in accordance with the concept of "open-air" and "under water". It is made of concrete, wood, and glass.

The whole architecture of the building corresponds to the surrounding landscape - overflowing spaces, white "waves" of concrete, glass buildings, "stones", reflections of water and clouds. The base of the building is paved with a special cobblestone, through which the grass will grow, turning the Center of the Ocean and Surfing into a natural part of the Atlantic landscape.

Петербургский минимализм | Campaign Spring'17

[row]

[col]

Это съемка посвящена Санкт-Петербургу, городу, где появился Gate31. 
Городу, близкому к Скандинавии и нордической сдержанной культуре. 
Городу, опираясь на скандинавский стиль, где есть цвет, форма, содержание и нет лишних элементов, мы создаем новую историю — чистую, простую, понятную, настоящую, честную и называем её - Петербургский Минимализм.

Project "Angle" of the Japanese studio Hiroyuki Arima

The snow-white project of the Japanese studio Hiroyuki Arima created in cooperation with Urban Fourth is the embodiment of the modern ingenious simplicity, inherent in all Japanese houses. There is something virtual in the shape of a corner cottage: square windows, cubic volumes, which in the sum is formed into the illusion of pixels.

The different sizes of square windows and their asymmetrical arrangement also give the impression of cosmic features of the exterior. This is facilitated by transitions between rooms, non-standard solutions for connecting structures and spaces. As the authors explain, all this is created for the special refraction of light, so that the sun rays spread throughout the house.

The Sky SOHO project in Shanghai by architect Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid along with a group of architects have radically changed the silhouette of China in recent years. Their modernization has an incredible conceptual integrity. One of the five great Sky SOHO projects in Shanghai was crowned with success. It is located near the city center of Shanghai and Hongqiao Airport.

Four towers of streamlined form, connected by a greened sky bridge, create a modern complex. Huge recreational spaces, views of the city and the interconnection between different transitions are components of the futuristic structure of Sky SOHO. The merging of the smooth forms creates an internal space for offices and commercial establishments, devoid of any corners.
