Its really impressive how many apartment projects have been influenced by MVRDV's WoZoCo... The Lanserhofwiese Residential Project by Wimmer Zaic Architects is an interesting project, almost looking fake the way its perched atop those spindly legs. Intended as a high density housing solution, providing interest and interaction with its neighbors, it seems somewhat, although not entirely successful. Obviously, the neighbors will be intrigued by the project (and its bright colors!), but the building actually seems somewhat isolated to me. It could be plopped down on any flat lot anywhere in the world... It doesn't seem to me as if its interacting with the neighborhood at all.
What do you all think?

This conservatory by Helen & Hard is a very interesting structure. Built to replace an outbuilding that had previously stood in that location 120 years ago, this glass structure is adjacent to an existing log structure. Colored glass beams support the glass roof above, while hinged stone walls open the view to the park beyond. I think what makes this project really lovely are the surprises... glass unexpectedly being the solid support system, and the movable stone acting as a system of transparency...Lovely.

Thomas Feichtner has a wide range of work, all with a very similar folded style. There are some really lovely pieces in his collection, but I'd love to see him expand his aesthetic. But, you've got to admit it... he's got a clearly defined style!.
