Jeff Goldberg’s Photographs of Tucson Mountain Retreat on ArchDaily and more

Jeff Goldberg’s photographs of the Tucson Mountain Retreat, designed and built by DUST, are on ArchDaily.  The piece describes the surrounding landscape and the siting:

The Tucson Mountain Retreat is located within the Sonoran Desert; an extremely lush, exposed, arid expanse of land that emits a sense of stillness and permanency, and holds mysteries of magical proportions.  The home is carefully sited and great effort was invested to minimize the physical impact of the home in such a fragile environment, while at the same time attempting to create a place that would serve as a backdrop and connection to the awe-inspiring landscape.

The post continues to describe the particulars of the program and built response.  A number of Jeff’s photographs accompany the article.

An article at EarthTechling focuses on the rammed earth construction of the building, and the resulting environmental benefits.

The house is also featured on Arthitectural and at e-architect.

There are more photographs of the project at the DUST website, and in an earlier post.

“From whimsical doorways on houses to large-scale entries in monumental structures; from kinetic drawbridges to stationary portals” the newest Esto Gallery at Architect Magazine shares a varied collection of photographs of doors and entries from the Esto collection.

The photographs range from early images by Ezra Stoller, to newer projects by the current Esto photographers Albert Vecerka, David Sundberg, Jeff Goldberg, Anton Grassl, Peter Mauss and Francis Dzikowski.

In the introduction, Deane Madsen writes that

Paul Goldberger said in his acceptance speech for the Vincent Scully Prize that he will never review a building he hasn’t personally visited and explored, calling architecture “the way most people connect to the built environment.” If that’s the case, then doorways are both the literal and metaphorical portals through which people travel to experience those connections, and serve as visitors’ first taste of the space within.

There is a new Esto Gallery at Architecture Magazine featuring Libraries.

The gallery contains a range of libraries typologies, from HH Richardson’s Ames Library, to Pelli Clarke Pelli‘s Minneapolis Library (pictured above), to Rem Koolhaas’ Seattle Library, exemplifying the idea that:

Libraries have been many things to many people over the years, and as such, a constantly evolving building type. No one has better captured that then the photographers at Esto, who have been committing these projects to film for more than 50 years. Flip through this small selection of images —these represent some of the best libraries of the modern era.

The photographers in this gallery include Ezra Stoller, Wayne Andrews, Jeff Goldberg and Lara Swimmer.

The new concert hall, designed by Ennead,  is a major milestone of the Stanford Arts Initiative, a university-wide effort to place the arts at the heart of a Stanford education.  Serving as a hub for students, faculty, and the community, the Hall will launch a new era in the performing arts at Stanford.  The seamless integration of architecture, acoustics and technology exists with the goal of transforming the practice, study and experience of the performing arts at Stanford.

Happy Valentines Day from Esto

One of the odder Valentines Day offerings in NY is the tour of the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

Odd, perhaps, but the event has proven so popular that the Department of Environmental Protection has filled the three tours scheduled for this year. For more information on the plant visit the DEP site, where you can also plan ahead for next year, or find details on the tours which are offered monthly.

There is a write up about the plant and the Valentines Day tours at the NY Times.

Jeff Goldberg photographed the plant for the architect Ennead.

 

Where in the World is Jeff Goldberg?

Jeff Goldberg sent us this self portrait. Where is he?

Answer: Jeff took this photograph at a restaurant in Tokyo: “When you buy a quick lunch in Japan, you usually put money in a vending machine and receive a ticket.  You give this ticket to the cook, and he prepares your meal to order.”

And then you photograph yourself in the security camera fisheye!
