Large-Scale Disinfection Efforts Against Coronavirus | Via

As health workers and governments around the world work to slow the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, large-scale disinfection efforts are becoming commonplace. Using methods ranging from simple hand-wiping to mobile spray cannons, workers and volunteers are attempting to halt the transfer of the virus by touch. While there are questions about the efficacy of some of the broader spraying tactics, disinfecting frequently-touched surfaces can help stop the spread of the virus. Collected here, images of recent efforts in Iran, China, Italy, South Korea, and more.

Labyrinth | Gijs Van Vaerenbergh | Via

A kilometer of steel corridors were constructed to form a mechanical-looking maze at a former coal mine in the industrial city of Genk in Belgium. Titled ‘The Labyrinth’, the installation was created to be a spatial experience by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, a collaboration between Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh.

The structure is made from 186 tons of steel, with half-a-centimeter-thick rusted plates utilized as its walls. The idea was conceived of based on the architects’ interest in fundamental architectural structures in public spaces; previous site-specific works by the duo have their foundations in typologies for gates, bridges, walls, and domes. For ‘The Labyrinth’, the pair were confronted with an artificial, large-scale site—one that “wasn’t very welcoming to make an installation,” they admit. “We therefore chose to build an installation that was directed inwards, and dealt more strongly with space and one’s relation to it.” Constructing a labyrinth seemed to provide the most reasonable archetype for this experience. “In a way, this is an essential form of architecture, which is only composed of walls,” they say. Various openings and perspectives throughout the maze permit an ever-changing relationship with the surrounding urban environment.

F*ck Context ? Doubt Context ! | Thomas Paturet

This first series, of an ongoing research, aims at mixing old and new, disturbing our too familiar reality in order to accentuate faults and opportunities. The dissensus that emerges can be tragic, comic at times, but it can also be a strong statement : the architecture that demonstrates as insufficient what is presented to us as the only possible reality begins to invent the future. It cannot change the world, but it can help us awake to the necessity to doubt it and maybe, change it.

Seashore Library | Vector Architects | Via

At that moment, we envision the future library should also be quietly sitting on the seashore. From outside, it looks like a weathered rock that is pure and solid; but inside, what it contains is the rich feelings and experiences. When walking into the space, one starts to feel the light, breezes, and sound of the ocean. What comes after the perception is the unique spiritual linkage between each individual and the sea. In here, everyone can slow down the usual pace, and unfold the feeling of distant and loneliness different from the city life.

The design began with section. The library houses a reading area, a meditation space, activity room, a drinking bar and a resting area. According to each space, we establish distinctive relationship between space and the ocean; define how light and wind enters into each room.
