Gins & Arakawa are a husband and wife poetic architecture team who have been working 45 years to create habitats that prolong the life of the inhabitants by taking away any sense of stability.. Their latest is the Bioscleave House in East Hampton, built to cradle tentativeness:

Gorgeous looking prison in Austria. Actual rooms, sunlight.
What if people came out of prison rehabilitated? There’s a thought.

Powerhouse Arena is a gallery, bookstore, workshop, boutique and event space nestled between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges in DUMBO.
The two-tier amphitheater is perfect for speakers and performances; the wrap-around windows let out onto the bridges and Manhattan skyline.
We’ve had two events there: BIFOLD: YOUTH and PHTHRD II: a rock & roll show and a Photographer’s Duel. The space…
Two kids play some variation of California Cruisin’ at the Fun Zone inside the International Arrivals Terminal at JFK.
A man, perhaps a guardian (though the remove at which he watches suggests he is a stranger) has been drawn from his seat towards the whirring glow.
The placement of the Fun Zone, in the middle-smack of a smooth swath of…
Smack Mellon Gallery in DUMBO, home to LVHRD’s first PHTHRD Photography Competition, was voted Best Party Venue by NY Mag.
They point out some of the features that first attracted us to the space: “soaring 35-foot ceilings, 25 enormous windows with views of the Manhattan Bridge, and access to the grassy Brooklyn Bridge Park across the street.”
On a summer…

By a final vote of 765 to 623 KONYK has triumphed over FXFOWLE in a contest of startling ligatures to become the champions of LVHRD’s fourth Architects Duel.
Aside from the obvious fortune, glory, and pinup girls, Sean Bailey and David Iseri will also receive a lumberjack breakfast at THE LODGE: pancakes, waffles, fatback bacon, slab ham and steel oats.

Voting ends today in the Architects Duel and it’s never been easier to cast your ballot–two clicks is about all it takes–way easier than those Industrial Revolution pull-lever booths.
We put up some renderings of the models to help you decide which Alaskan Wildlife Research Center best flows with and respects the surrounding landscape.
KONYK is currently in the lead, but…
