One of my favorite architects has a new website up, with a lot of information and photos of their projects. They seem to incorporate a cheerful wackiness to program-serving and often community based designs. It sure looks like they are having a good time with this stuff. Check out the office building in Dusseldorf (its under the Working section). Sort of old OMA-like work (though you couldnt say that Alsop is inspired by Rem necessarily, I think he was around first), but a hell of a lot more optimistic. ALSOP ARCHITECTS

So this complex got torn down for a new Shaws supermarket in our town. I was a thirteen acre site of old mill buildings along a historic section of the riverfront, mostly in disrepair, but many being lived in/squatted by a vibrant group of artists known in town as Fort Thunder. They have photos of what their space used to look like. The photos speak for themselves. Before it was torn down, they managed to get into Nest and ArtForum, and a group from there known as ForceField was in the Whitney Bienniel. It didn’t go down without a fight, but it was doomed from the beginning, as the city saw the area as derelict. We managed to convince the developers to save two or three buildings on the site, but it was hard to get them to do that. I guess my point is look really hard at something that seems derelict to see its inner life before you lose it.
Been working for this guy lately.. well, just for the week. Check out one of his projects here…Doug Aitken
