  • Nine examples of "misunderstood architecture" featured in Brutalist Japan
    www.dezeen.com
    Photographer Paul Tulett has toured Japan to publish a book documenting the country's vast collection of concrete edifices. Here, he spotlights nine unusual examples featured in it.The book, fully titled Brutalist Japan: A Photographic Tour of Post-War Japanese Architecture, has been published with Prestel to showcase the diversity of the country's brutalist buildings.It was the result of Tulett's growing interest in the style of architecture, which he said has a "unique tactility" in Japan thanks to its links to the country's traditional carpentry and craftsmanship.Paul Tulett has documented brutalist architecture across Japan"Upon arriving in Japan, I was struck by the abundance of brutalist buildings, their refinement and the fact that no one was really covering the style here," he told Dezeen."I quickly became interested in brutalism's links to traditional Japanese architecture," Tulett continued. "The refinement in Japanese brutalist construction is due to the amazing timber formwork seen here. It results from incredible expertise in carpentry within the nation."All the buildings featured in the book were photographed by Tulett over the last five years and selected to showcase the range of styles that fall within Japanese brutalism.One of Tulett's favourite examples is the brutalism in Okinawa, where he is based, which he said incorporates traditional breezeblocks to mimic chinibu a traditional perforated wall used to provide both ventilation and protection from harsh sunlight."I wanted to present the diversity of Japanese brutalism in terms of function, size, style, design and age," Tulett explained. "From large civic and governmental buildings to small barber shops and public toilets, the diversity of function is not seen elsewhere."Read: Sacred Modernity showcases "unique beauty and architectural innovation" of brutalist churchesTulett's aim was for the book is to spark interest in the style of architecture, which he said is "too often demolished based on the subjective opinion of a few individuals"."Many brutalist buildings across the world are slated for demolition at a time when there is increasing fascination with the style particularly amongst younger generations," said Tulett."Brutalist buildings in Japan, even the grandest, are not immune to talk of demolition. These include Hiroyuki Iwamoto's sublime National Theatre in Tokyo, Kenzo Tange's incredible Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium and the fantastic Nago City Hall in Okinawa.""I aim to inspire an appreciation for the aesthetic beauty of these structures while fostering discussions around their preservation. Ultimately, I advocate for the continued recognition and preservation of this often misunderstood architecture."Read on for Tulett's picks of nine unusual buildings featured in Brutalist Japan:Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium, 1964, by Kenzo Tange"Concurrent with Kenzo Tange's creation of Tokyo's mammoth Olympic structure for the 1964 Summer Games, a humbler athletic vessel was birthed further west."Between 1962 and 1964, the Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium arose in Takamatsu, with a brutalist silhouette strong enough to renounce any kinship with its neighbours."An oval hull is hoisted by four titanic columns, extending its form in a defiant cantilever that bestows upon it the visage of a seafaring leviathan, mirroring both the formidable might and grace of an Olympian."Kyoto International Conference Center, 1966, by Otani Sachio"Enshrined amidst Kyoto's venerable aura, the Kyoto International Conference Center straddles the architectural zeitgeist of its time."This edifice stirs a lively discourse: does it belong to the brutalist canon, or does it bear the hallmark of metabolist architecture? The centre's silhouette, a composition of bold geometric lines and the stark honesty of exposed concrete, channels the brutalist ethos."Its colossal, forthright forms stand in sharp relief to Kyoto's delicate tapestry, an assertion of brutalism's unapologetic gravitas. Yet, within its robust frame, the structure nurtures the flexible, organic essence of metabolism."Nago City Hall, 1981, by Team Zo (Elephant Design Group)"This tumbling agglomeration of colonnades, pergolas and terraces set upon a floor plan resembles the outline of a B-2 stealth bomber."The colonnades are formed of porous vermillion and grey concrete blocks. Tilted concrete screening slats set within the pergola roofs absorb ambient moisture and provide a breeding ground for moss."The whole structure exudes an earthy pungency that is tempered by the fragrance of weaving bougainvillaea. Drinks vending machines aside, the place smacks of an undiscovered jungle ruin."Nago Civic Hall And Center, 1985, by Shiro Ochi"This is a U-shaped complex of civic centre, public halls and general welfare centre. Recognisable modernist features contrast with its mad tree-hugging neighbour the City Hall above and evoke a Corbusian rationality triumphing over nature."Reminiscent of Mayan architecture, a sharply terraced escarpment is carved down to the northern and western flanks of what would otherwise be a trapezoidal behemoth."The exterior austerity is juxtaposed by intricate interior precast trusses and sublime modulated concrete slabs on either side of the stage. These emanate a peachy hue that compliments the velvety seating."Mixed-use complex, 1994, by Kuniyoshi Design"Darth Vader's holiday home? Nah. This striking complex features affordable housing stacked above a ground-floor elderly daycare centre."It models Okinawa's social aspect of planning, more characterised elsewhere by the interests of private developers. This planning philosophy seeks to create urban spaces that nurture community bonds and ensure equitable access to resources."That said, a friend of mine had the opportunity to move into one of the apartments but his wife declined, arguing it wasn't close enough to a convenience store. Definitely grounds for divorce."Keihan Uji Station, 1995, by Hiroyuki Wakabayashi"In the shadow of tradition, where the air hums with tales of ancient temples and the crackle of fireworks over the Uji River, Keihan Uji Station emerges like a scene from a sci-fi odyssey."This architectural spaceship, helmed by visionary captain Hiroyuki Wakabayashi and launched in 1995, defies its historic backdrop with a daring leap into futurism."The design is audacious, a semicircular cocoon that dares to embrace both the circle's zen-like simplicity and the boundless possibilities of the cosmos. It is quite possibly my favourite building."Kihoku Astronomical Museum, 1995, by Takasaki Masaharu"Clearly in the throes of his Smack My Bitch Up phase, architect Masaharu took inspiration from the moon crab on The Prodigy's The Fat of the Land album cover."From certain angles, this Cancerian creature seems to be embracing the stars in rave-like rapture or wondering where it left its whistle and helium balloon."Actually, the design slightly predates The Prodigy's third album. More cerebral appraisals cover Masaharu attempting a cosmic connection between Earth and the universe. A participatory approach allowed for the local community to showcase the potency of the region's mushrooms."Okinawa Prefectural And Art Museum, 2007, by Ishimoto and Niki Associates"The Naha Prefectural Museum appears as both a cascading, multi-tiered limestone waterfall and immovable monolith the result of a geological phenomenon aeons ago."Its appearance borrows from ancient Okinawan fortresses, or gusuku, yet is simultaneously futuristic with gentle curves, rectilinear geometry and stacked forms."A look of natural stone is achieved through the use of white cement local limestone as the coarse aggregate and coral sand as the fine aggregate. Doctor Who fans might see a Dalek and the more domesticated an upturned laundry basket. I see it as my muse."Matsubara Civic Library, 2019, by Maru"Beside a tranquil pond, the Matsubara Civic Library rises like a tome from the annals of time, its spine crafted from 600-millimetre-thick concrete."The architects, in a stroke of narrative genius, penned a story of integration rather than erasure, allowing the library to float out into the water like a literary ark."Inside, the seismic-resilient walls have inscribed freedom into the library's chapters, with split levels that unfold storeys upon storeys, where readers perch like characters in a plot, poised between lines of text and water."The post Nine examples of "misunderstood architecture" featured in Brutalist Japan appeared first on Dezeen.

  • South Korean craft is making a resurgence say panellists at Dezeen x Bentley Lighthouse talk
    www.dezeen.com
    Traditional and contemporary South Korean crafts are experiencing growth, according to a panel of experts at a filmed talk hosted by Dezeen and Bentley in Seoul.The talk brought together a panel of designers and design experts to discuss crafts and luxury in design at the Bentley Cube, the brand's showroom and clubhouse in Seoul.The event was filmed by Bentley and can be watched above.Teo Yang is a South Korean designer and studio founderThe panellists discussed how interest in local crafts was growing amid the global explosion of interest in South Korean culture and society known as the "Hallyu," or "Korean wave.""We're using new design with old techniques of craft, using local materials and really showing something new to the design world," said panelist Teo Yang, a local designer and founder of Teo Yang Studio."Craft has been considered as something that's from the past, but now people are really trying to use craft to create new business and ways of introducing new aesthetics into the design scene," he continued.Jiyoon Lee is curator and founder of SUUM ProjectJoining Yang on the panel was Jiyoon Lee, founder of the curatorial platform SUUM Project and former managing director of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Korea, as well as Chris Cooke, head of design collaborations at Bentley Motors.The talk, moderated by Dezeen's editorial director Max Fraser, was the third in the Lighthouse series of panel discussions hosted by Dezeen and Bentley exploring the future of luxury. It was held at the Bentley Cube space in Gangnam, Seoul, in October 2024.Titled Contemporary Crafts: Preserving Heritage in Luxury Design, the discussion also explored how the once-separate worlds of art and craft were merging.Chris Cooke is head of design collaborations at Bentley Motors"There was a really strong division between craft and art," said Lee. "Art was seen as very luxurious and important, but compared to that, craft was only found in very small shops. People were not really interested in craft before.""As lifestyles change and the Korean economy is developing and growing, I think people start to look at traditional Korean values," she added. "I think we can witness the moment craft and art start to engage in a very amazing way."Cook, who appeared in two previous Dezeen x Bentley Lighthouse talks in Milan and London, went on to describe the importance of craftsmanship in Bentley's designs.Read: Electrification will transform vehicle design philosophy say automotive industry experts"Craftsmanship and Bentley have gone hand in hand for many years," he said.He also spoke of Bentley's enduring appeal, referencing the materials and handmade features found in Bentley's cars."People do really appreciate and resonate with working with their hands and trying to fine-tune something to get it to an absolute state of perfection," Cook concluded.Partnership contentThis video was produced by Dezeen as part of a partnership withBentley.

  • Radical Bike-Related Designs Spotted in 2024
    www.core77.com
    Each year, over 100 million bicycles are produced worldwide, versus 94 million automobiles. The modern buyer includes urban residents seeking environmentally-friendly transport and exercise, as well as those in developing nations seeking a reliable and affordable means of transport. Bike ownership surged during the pandemicsome estimates have it at 25% growth in 2020 aloneand sales will only grow. So it's not surprising that we saw a ton of bike-related designs this year.We'll start off with the precursor to the bicycle: The running machine, a/k/a the Draisine, developed by German inventor Karl Drais in 1816. Drais could never imagined that in 208 years, his invention would yield descendants like these:This low-maintenance, corrosion-proof RCYL Bike. Some 90% of the bike is made out of plastic. Taiwanese manufacturer BESV's stylish PSF1, a folding e-bike. The Owlet, a radicalnew form for the e-bike. Bleeding into motorcycle territory is this electric, off-road 2x2 Ultra Bike by Russia's Robo Systems. As e-bikes proliferate, so too do e-bike accidents. In a drive to increase safety, Dutch police have begun using this roadside e-bike speed testing contraption. E-bikes need to be charged, of course. Industrial Design student Matthew Quejada designed this Ultium Lift, an e-bike charging station for garages. Another type of bike Drais probably couldn't have foreseen is the cargo bike. German company Dynamic Drives has completely re-thought the cargo bike form factor with their Intelectra pedelec. Meanwhile in London, manufacturer Cityshuttle has mashed up the electric cargo bike with a tractor-trailer to create their ePack.For those who don't need a full cargo bike, from Germany comes this Allpacka One, a collapsible cargo box for bikes.Engineer Robert G. Ozarski invented the Kradl, an electricity-free, spring-loaded bike hoist that makes it easier to store.Industrial designer Adrien Rovero designed this cheeky bike rack as a clear statement. Swiss company V-Locker designed these space-efficient, paternoster-like bike storage lockers. Also in Switzerland, industrial design firm Erfindergeist created this transforming train seating for bike storage.Bike helmets, too, are increasingly receiving design attention. The Ventete aH-1 is an inflatable, collapsible design.Industrial designers Masaru Kiyota and Sawyer Hagen designed the Oshel, a lockable bike helmet. Another industrial designer, Ash Lewin, has realized his dream for the fastest bike helmet ever. And finally, for you mountain bikers: The RinseKit Tailgate Showermakes it easy to hose your bike off after a muddy ride.

  • The XTAPE1 Measuring Tape + Laser Is the Ultimate Modern Tool for Accuracy and Speed
    www.yankodesign.com
    Accuracy is a curious thingubiquitous in daily life but often overlooked until a tool falters. A warped tape, an unreadable screen, or an imprecise laser can turn a simple task into a source of frustration. Measurement tools are expected to work seamlessly, yet few truly adapt to the evolving demands of their users. The XTAPE1 Digital Laser Tape Measure enters this space with quiet confidence, bridging classic utility with modern expectations in a way that feels natural, not forced.Designed to outwardly look like some sci-fi hacker weapon/gadget, the XTAPE1 is the most capable instrument in any architect/engineer/designers tool arsenal. Its unique shape is like nothing youve seen before, merging accuracy and adaptability in ways that feel both natural and overdue. At its heart lies a pairing of traditional and modern measurement methodsdigital tape and lasereach tuned to exacting standards. The tape delivers accuracy down to 1/32-inch, while the laser extends that reliability across 330 feet at 1/16-inch. Its almost the year 2025 and standard measuring tapes officially feel old-school.Designer: Tommy YangClick Here to Buy Now: $269.32 $399 ($129.68 off, use coupon code YANKO). Hurry, deal ends in 48-hours!The XTAPE1 combines three key measuring features into its novel design. It has a tape measure, a laser measure, and even a green laser alignment, pretty much allowing you to work with linear distances, angles, areas, and volumes while relying on accurate digital accuracy all along the way. It all starts with the XTAPE1s unique design, which combines minimalism, sci-fi detailing, and modularity into one compact, handheld package. The entire gizmo splits into two parts the upper component with the laser measure and the IPS display, and a lower grip that houses the devices laser alignment tool along with its metal measuring tape. Dock the two halves together and youve got your all-in-one tool, capable of conquering nearly any kind of distance-based measurement.Based on the task at hand, the XTAPE1s various features come in handy. Want to rely on analog measurement, the measuring tape unfurls outwards, with a highly durable carbon-steel construction that doesnt warp or deform even with years of usage, and the digital screen on top that records accurate measurements on the device instead of you having to scribble them down. If you crave something more advanced, switch to the laser measuring tool, capable of measuring distances up to 330 feet or 100 meters in seconds. Units are clearly not a problem as the digital display lets you easily swap between metric and imperial systems, depending on what you need.A good tool is only as good as the human using it because machines dont account for human error. However, the XTAPE1 prevents it, thanks to a bright green laser alignment tool that ensures youre measuring distances at the exact right angle. The laser alignment tool helps align your XTAPE1 before taking measurements, as well as lets you use it to ensure objects like paintings, wall-mounted shelves, or switch boxes are all in line, rather than being askew. Aside from being a stickler for accuracy, the alignment tool also helps you measure angles, with the digital display calculating accurate angular changes for you, so you know that your corners are 90 or that the 37 angle staircase in your plan actually translated to the accurate degree in reality.Speaking of accuracy, the XTAPE1 maintains that strict standard throughout. The digital measuring tape offers a pinpoint 1/32-inch accuracy, and the laser maintains 1/16-inch accuracy across its range. Whether aligning cabinetry or mapping a room, this device provides measurements you can trust, with fewer chances for costly mistakes. Patented technologies like the Super OptiTracking reading sensor that powers the digital tape, or the AccuMeasure calibration system ensure that accuracy isnt a feature on the XTAPE1, its the very foundation.The built-in IPS display makes measuring activities extremely intuitive. Rather than guessing readings, the display shows them to you down to the 10th of a decimal. Measurements get automatically saved on board the XTAPE1 so you dont have to rely on memory or scribbled notes. The device also lets you calculate areas and volumes in seconds going beyond simple point-to-point measurements and the XTAPE1s companion app makes things even easier, transforming the tool into a powerful project planner. Users can collect, store, and analyze data in real-time, making angle measurements, layout adjustments, and tracking projects intuitively.The modular design plays a unique role in longevity. While most all-in-one measuring tools are fairly monolithic, the XTAPE1 separates its two key parts just in case they need replacing. If your tape wears out, simply swap the older tape module for a newer one. Even though the entire system is modular, makers at MILESEEY are fairly confident the XTAPE1 can weather any sort of rough use. The AISI 1060 carbon steel blade withstands heavy use, while the magnesium-aluminum frame and DuraShield hardshell protect the device from the wear and tear of demanding environments. From job sites to home workshops, its built to endure while maintaining its accuracy.What youre eventually left with is a powerful tool that does a fairly good job of leaving nothing to chance, and leaving no room for compromise. The XTAPE1 is feature-packed, easy to use, modular, compact, and frankly, futuristic-looking enough to make others walk over and admire the instrument just the way people walk over to admire sports cars up close. While being fairly expansive in its feature list, the XTAPE1 is still ergonomic and portable, allowing you to slip it into your backpack to carry to and back from your site.The XTAPE1 feels less like an upgrade from older measuring systems and more like a rethinking of what measurement tools should be. It doesnt rely on novelty to stand out, but rather, finds relevance in meeting practical, often overlooked needs. By combining reliability, adaptability, accuracy, and eco-conscious design, it becomes a tool that fits seamlessly into the workflows of builders, woodworkers, architects, and DIY enthusiasts.Click Here to Buy Now: $269.32 $399 ($129.68 off, use coupon code YANKO).

  • The Ultimate All-Season Trailer: Wooly is a Game-Changer for Winter Camping Enthusiasts
    www.yankodesign.com
    Whats the best all-season camper trailer you can think of If you are not yet ready with a name, you should give the WLY or Wooly from Mammoth Overland more than just a cursory glance. The trailer is built from the ground up for adventures in sub-zero temperatures, with your house-like level of insulation, power backup to explore the wilderness for more than a day, and space enough to haul your snow sports equipment along.Mammoth Overland WLY trailer is likely to retail for $56,900. Shipping will begin in the second quarter of 2025, but the stellar camper trailer will only be built to order. Of course, you cannot commit to a trailer by its mere looks or a few feature highlights. The article thus delves into the exciting features onboard the WLY that would, if not instantly, eventually get you enticed to pre-order it.Designer: Mammoth OverlandThe durable all-season, off-road camper trailer is made entirely from aluminum, and as the company notes, is a worthy successor to the Tall Boy and Extinction Level Event trailers. As a potent hauling camper designed for riding the snow, the WLY features bronze Method Race Wheels with a 3PMS rating for confident grip in snow.On the inside, an 11,500-BTU/hour VarioHeat heater from Truma thats made to keep up to 600-square-foot space cozy in sub-zero temperatures at elevations as high as 8,694 feet ensures the ideal temperature. This with wool insulation on all the walls allows the Wooly (thats where the name is derived from) to keep warm and comfortable in temperatures as low as -20 Fahrenheit or -28 degrees Celsius.With the off-roading ability and substantial prowess to negotiate snow trails with confidence, the Wooly can be your perfect partner for winter sports activities like skiing, snowboarding, or snowmobiling in remote locations, where you previously thought camping wouldnt be an option. Wool is not only a choice because it is an excellent natural fiber insulator, even when it is wet, but Mammoth Overland points out that its hypoallergenic and fire resistant as well, and interestingly keeps the enclosed space cool when the weather outside is warmer to your liking. Coupled with an installed RTX 2000 air conditioner, this makes WLY all-ready for summer camping as well.The trailer arrives with its water storage and supply, while four alternative energy options power its built-in 800-Amp-hour lithium battery. The 21-gallon water tank is connected to a heater with pipes plumbed to ensure water does not freeze even when the mercury is dipping at an alarming rate. Stationed at the camp, the WLY allows you to prep a meal in the kitchen located in the annex that deploys over the rear hatch. A heated king-size mattress blesses you with a cozy sleep. A 23ZERO Bushman awning room makes extra space to keep you from carrying wet clothes into the cabin. When its a sunny day and you have the snow gear unloaded from the roof rack, climb up to the roof-based observation deck to bask in the sun or enjoy the expansive white panorama.The post The Ultimate All-Season Trailer: Wooly is a Game-Changer for Winter Camping Enthusiasts first appeared on Yanko Design.
