EDITION29 Architecture Issue 008 for iPad continues with the spirit of the previous issues, showcasing modern houses from Sao Paulo to Nagoya, Japan. Architect Shigeru Fuse tells us about the concrete sculpture he created as the house in Akibo, with ultra modern sculptural interiors that seemed carved from cement walls. Architect Takeshi Hosaka brings abundant natural light into the Daylight House with glass blocks fitted onto the roof that make up segments of the roof providing rays of light into the house.

Canadian architect Michael Taylor creates a simple wooden cabin in the forested regions of Ontario as a private module for the owners of a larger compound. Several slanting roofs arranged to point in two opposing directions provide the small rooms of the Complex House their own independent roofs with abundant natural light seeping in, giving this design a look of two rows of roofs sheltering a family in a tiny plot of land in Nagoya created by the architect Tomohiro Hata.

The Desert House in Paradise Valley, Arizona is a 20 year old structure re-imagined and resurrected by Peter M. Koliopoulos to be a building in tune with its desert setting while also being a low impact construction with many recycled materials. The roof and the surrounding one acre plot was regraded to maximize capture of rainwater.

This issues rounds out with stunning residential structures by architect Robert Edmonds in Kenwood, California to the curved glass wall embedded Lake Lugano House in Switzerland by architect Jacopo Mascheroni.

The Critical Wake of Makemake @ Fountain Enterprises

1261 Dundas St West, Toronto

an exhibition by Kathleen Reichelt and performance by art noise band 253469

Opening Party Thursday, December 15, 9pm

The Critical Wake of Makemake is an imagined manifestation and the yet un-realized vessel moving towards antirealism.  It is a fictional understanding communicated through a state of constant becoming.  It is created in order to claim its rightful place in the present.  The creative inheritance being colour and transparency, rituals and the rites of masks, concealment and revealing.  Visualized openings and objects appear to convey relationships of struggle, power, ease and awkwardness through overlapping and propinquity.  Power can be seen as European realism still trumping other cultural, individual and philosophical alternatives.  Abstraction can be seen as the rejection to this that it was 70 years ago.

The Critical Wake of Makemake is also a live performance by the art noise band 253469 starting at 9pm on Thursday December 15th.  Two 30 minute punk jazz performances including such standards as “I fly my plane backwards”, “Round the decibel” and “A ton of nothing” (senseless language, analogue and digital synthesizers and one loud electric stick guitar.)

Exhibition runs 12.15.11 - 01.25.12

Hearts    a fundraiser for the Love Yourself Project curated byOylun  Albayrak Artist:  Oylun Albayrak, Alexis Carreno, Lainie Dalby, Berglind Holm, Charlotte Mouquin, Michael Mut, Mike Rimbaud January 25 - February 25,  2012 Opening Reception February 3  Friday 6-8 pm Origami Heart Making  February 11  Saturday 1-5 pm The Heart is known as the center of one’s emotions and thoughts of love. Today, we use the heart as a symbol to represent “Self-love”.  The artists in this exhibition come together to invoke and share one thing in common : the love of self. Self love is the willingness and openness to look within and appreciate who we are right now.  The artists included in “Hearts” stand out in their desire to understand themselves and their efforts to inspire self-knowledge and self-preservation.  In reaction to the pursuit of love deemed necessary in today’s society where the self gains worth through the eyes of others, the Love Yourself Project and this exhibition are influenced by the role of self-love as an initial necessity for the generation of all kinds of love. The familiar shape of the heart, hence, becomes a symbol of individuals celebrating themselves. Knowing and loving oneself is celebrated as the first step in understanding and loving others.  The Love Yourself Project was created to spread a message of unconditional self-love, and through education and visual arts, we aim to celebrate and empower communities around the world.

EDITION29 Architecture Issue 008 for iPad continues with the spirit of the previous issues, showcasing modern houses from Sao Paulo to Nagoya, Japan. Architect Shigeru Fuse tells us about the concrete sculpture he created as the house in Akibo, with ultra modern sculptural interiors that seemed carved from cement walls. Architect Takeshi Hosaka brings abundant natural light into the Daylight House with glass blocks fitted onto the roof that make up segments of the roof providing rays of light into the house. Canadian architect Michael Taylor creates a simple wooden cabin in the forested regions of Ontario as a private module for the owners of a larger compound. Several slanting roofs arranged to point in two opposing directions provide the small rooms of the Complex House their own independent roofs with abundant natural light seeping in, giving this design a look of two rows of roofs sheltering a family in a tiny plot of land in Nagoya created by the architect Tomohiro Hata. The Desert House in Paradise Valley, Arizona is a 20 year old structure re-imagined and resurrected by Peter M. Koliopoulos to be a building in tune with its desert setting while also being a low impact construction with many recycled materials. The roof and the surrounding one acre plot was regraded to maximize capture of rainwater. This issues rounds out with stunning residential structures by architect Robert Edmonds in Kenwood, California to the curved glass wall embedded Lake Lugano House in Switzerland by architect Jacopo Mascheroni.

EDITION29 Architecture Issue 008 for iPad continues with the spirit of the previous issues, showcasing modern houses from Sao Paulo to Nagoya, Japan. Architect Shigeru Fuse tells us about the concrete sculpture he created as the house in Akibo, with ultra modern sculptural interiors that seemed carved from cement walls. Architect Takeshi Hosaka brings abundant natural light into the Daylight House with glass blocks fitted onto the roof that make up segments of the roof providing rays of light into the house.

Canadian architect Michael Taylor creates a simple wooden cabin in the forested regions of Ontario as a private module for the owners of a larger compound. Several slanting roofs arranged to point in two opposing directions provide the small rooms of the Complex House their own independent roofs with abundant natural light seeping in, giving this design a look of two rows of roofs sheltering a family in a tiny plot of land in Nagoya created by the architect Tomohiro Hata.

The Critical Wake of Makemake @ Fountain Enterprises 1261 Dundas St West, Toronto an exhibition by Kathleen Reichelt and performance by art noise band 253469 Opening Party Thursday, December 15, 9pm The Critical Wake of Makemake is an imagined manifestation and the yet un-realized vessel moving towards antirealism.  It is a fictional understanding communicated through a state of constant becoming.  It is created in order to claim its rightful place in the present.  The creative inheritance being colour and transparency, rituals and the rites of masks, concealment and revealing.  Visualized openings and objects appear to convey relationships of struggle, power, ease and awkwardness through overlapping and propinquity.  Power can be seen as European realism still trumping other cultural, individual and philosophical alternatives.  Abstraction can be seen as the rejection to this that it was 70 years ago. The Critical Wake of Makemake is also a live performance by the art noise band 253469 starting at 9pm on Thursday December 15th.  Two 30 minute punk jazz performances including such standards as “I fly my plane backwards”, “Round the decibel” and “A ton of nothing” (senseless language, analogue and digital synthesizers and one loud electric stick guitar.) Exhibition runs 12.15.11 - 01.25.12 For more information contact Maggy Perry at 647.764.0307 or Kathleen Reichelt at 416.670.4692 www.studio469.blogspot.com and www.253469.blogspot.com
