OMA’s Feyenoord City Masterplan and Stadium Given Green Light by the City of Rotterdam

May 12, 2017 AD Editorial Team 0

A large-scale masterplan for Feyenoord (or Feijenoord), a suburb-city of the Dutch city of Rotterdam, has been approved by Rotterdam City Council. The successful concept design from OMA, led by Partner David Gianotten, incorporates a historically-important football stadium—for the nationally significant Feyenoord football club—which “no longer fulfills modern demands.” Aligned with the football club’s “expanding ambitions” both in the Dutch and European football leagues, this proposal is the latest in a string of plans to expand, but the only one to have been accepted.

Private House in Tel Aviv / Bar Orian Architects

May 11, 2017 Rayen Sagredo 0

Functionality and simplicity of materials were the starting points for planning this villa in a northern neighborhood of Tel Aviv. The house was planned as a basic geometric structure– a combination of two raw-concrete boxes on top of each other. Each box has seemingly random openings, and an external shading system that rotates and opens electronically, so that the dynamic façade change with residents’ needs, the time of day, and the weather.
