WEEK IN REVIEWthis week, new images of sou fujimoto's contribution to ‘pavilions by the seaside’ in haikou were presented. the japanese architect is among those invited to develop a series of public pavilions in the chinese port city as part of a model for future coastal living. other architects and artists participating include bjarke ingels, MAD architects, and anish kapoor. check out the full list here. in other architecture news, aristides dallas architects has inserted the ‘lap pool house’ into the rugged landscape of tinos island in greece. the home and its most striking feature, the linear swimming pool that extends towards the edge of the hill, have been captured in a short film that combines architecture with music and dance. watch it here. meanwhile, two intricate shoe designs drew our readers' attention this week. under the artistic direction of beate karlsson, florence-based emerging brand AVAVAV released its collection of four-toed monstrous boots, manufactured with leftover scraps from neighboring fashion houses. at the same time, kengo kuma and ASICS unveiled the second iteration of the ‘METARIDE AMU’ running shoe. though the sneaker's design still references traditional japanese bamboo crafting techniques, its sand beige color reflects the tones of the sahara desert — a site of great personal importance for kuma since he visited as a student. finally, the Q's latest experiment seeks a solution for biking enthusiasts living in countries that experience heavy snowfalls and low temperatures. the 'icycycle' allows bikers to easily ride on ice by replacing the tires on a bicycle with circular saw blades. watch the whole process here, but please don't try it at home! | |||||||||||||||
