Kendrick Bangs Kellogg (1934 – February 16, 2024)

Kendrick Bangs Kellogg was the pioneer of organic architecture. In the past decades, Kellogg completed over a dozen striking structures (residential and public), each marked with his distinctly curved, irregular, and expressive style. Influenced by his family’s ties to Frederick Law Olmsted, the ‘Father of Landscape Architecture’, Kellogg’s independent architectural journey began after a brief meeting with Frank Lloyd Wright in 1955.

However, unlike Wright and organic architect Bruce Goff, his style explicitly defies categorization, often alluding to a mix of the Sydney Opera House and Stonehenge.

In fact, Kellogg prioritized durability, solidity, and intricacy, a vision reinforced by his collaboration with visionary clients, using high-quality materials like copper and concrete.

Sculpted over 30 years, the Kellogg Doolittle estate in Joshua Tree California is probably the greatest example of organic architecture signed by Kellogg.

Nestled among the rocky terrain of Joshua Tree, California, the house takes the form of an organic object made up of a cluster of sculptural piers. There is an ambiguous relationship between the built space and the extreme landscape as the house navigates between the protruding rock formations. At certain moments, these natural elements pierce through the interior and become sculptural elements of the conditioned space.

HAUSSMANN 2.0, A Resilient, Green & Breathable Paris,

Then, these "Archibiotics" (Archi+Bio+ICT) aim to massively integrate renewable energies into buildings constructed from biobased materials (as cross laminated timber, rammed earth, hempcrete, solid structural stone, bamboo, microalgae, mycelium, and straw) and producing their own energy and recycling their own waste into resources, to achieve the national objective of carbon neutrality in 2050.

Romotow’s T8,

This ambitious concept was created on paper in 2012 as a futuristic idea, almost unattainable at that time. However, six years later, in 2018, the first renders were revealed, and today, this promising concept is down on its way to the market, with a design that stayed as aerodynamic and special as the initial sketches.

It needs only some seconds for the sleek rotatable trailer to transform into a glamping RV. With an automatic hydraulic mechanism, the inner section of the camper rotates 90 degrees and uncovers an L-shaped scheme.

The main cabin measures around nine meters, while the revealed deck extends the total floor space by 70%. The U-shaped wall accommodates a fold-down table or bench seat, enhancing the mobile living experience.

Sustainability in Home Decor: Tips and Tricks from an Interior Designer

As an interior designer, I am constantly thinking about how to create beautiful, functional spaces for my clients while also being mindful of the impact our choices have on the environment. Sustainability in home decor is more important than ever, and there are many ways to incorporate eco-friendly practices into your home design. Here are a few tips and tricks to get you started:

Choose sustainable materials When selecting materials for your home, look for options that are made from recycled or sustainable materials. This can include furniture made from recycled plastic, flooring made from bamboo or cork, and countertops made from recycled glass.

Opt for eco-conscious brands Support brands that are committed to sustainability and eco-friendliness. Look for companies that use recycled materials, donate to environmental causes, or have a commitment to sustainability in their manufacturing processes.

Incorporate plants Plants not only add a touch of greenery to your home, but they can also purify the air and improve your mood. Choose plants that are native to your region and easy to care for to minimize your environmental impact.

Use energy-efficient appliances Energy-efficient appliances can save you money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Look for appliances with Energy Star certification or other energy-efficient ratings.

Practice zero waste Reduce your waste by choosing reusable items, such as fabric grocery bags, glass storage containers, and stainless steel water bottles. You can also look for home decor items made from recycled materials or that can be repurposed when you're ready to update your space.

By incorporating these sustainable practices into your home decor, you can create a beautiful, functional space while also minimizing your impact on the environment. Happy decorating!

"Block-Wall"Residence, Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan,

Japanese architecture practice nendo designed a private residence with block-walls made of "CO2-SUICOM", an eco-friendly carbon removal concrete.

The block-walls adjust the line of sight, a creative solution essential in securing privacy from passing traffic and pedestrians while acting as a foil for basking in the natural surroundings.

The design concept was to build the house with concrete block walls that would serve as filter screens. Besides, the material used deserves special attention: “CO2-SUICOM※” blocks, made by replacing a portion of cement, with an industrial byproduct and adding a carbon dioxide-absorbing material for less CO2 emissions during production.

Approximately 2,050 blocks are staggered in parallel rows to create five 3m-high walls. The living space is designed to “fill in the gaps” in between. Calibrating the block angles by three degrees to fit each room condition ensures privacy in the bedroom and bathroom, while also providing a spacious ambiance in the living and dining rooms. Ultimately, the design transpires into blocks arranged in a gradient-like pattern.
