Iconic road sign structure


These road signs have been installed at three industrial parks in Madrid by Brut Deluxe Architecture + Design of Madrid and Lisbon.

Called Totem de.dos, the illuminated sign posts have a glavanised steel structure, white celular polycarbonate cladding and safety glass roofs.


At night the signs are illuminated from within by white LEDs linked to the local street lamp timers, while galvanised steel steps and walkways inside allow for maintenance.


A map of the industrial district and business listings are printed around the base of each post.

Medellín Sports Coliseum

source http://www.ecofriend.com
By: Andrew Michler evolo magazine





The Coliseum was completed in only 18 months for the 2010 South American Games in Medellín, Colombia by Mazzanti Arquitectos and plan by arquitectos. The green ribbons of roof lines create a distinctive character and utilitarian design for the complex which echoes the surrounding topography of the mountainous countryside. Six types of layered roof trusses are repeated in different patterns over four separate spans simplifying fabrication and installation. The undulating roofs extend beyond the inner volume to create public outdoor space.
The environmental design is an act of democratization and participation.The venue hosting sporting events for the cities residences is skinned in open air brise soleil wall partitions to allow passer-bys to witness events from the exterior. The open skin also allows the local temperate breezes to provide natural cooling. The various relative heights of the roof truss ribbons allow room for vertical polycarbonate panels to provide natural lighting conditions. Orientation of the fenestration is north-south to reduce solar heat buildup and collect northern prevailing breezes.

The 493,000 square foot mixed use project contains semi-pubic venues weaved together by pubic zones under a single roof span. The program allows for multiple and varied recreation and competition sport activities, at the same time providing a community hub for the city.

Reclamation Drive Thru of Starbucks


Reclamation Drive Thru, inspiration for the design of container recovered from the increased use of former ship coffee and tea from around the world. Perhaps the design of the new brand strategy Starbucks. Stores in Tukwila, Washington.

‘Quadro curve luce’ panels

 By: Raffaello Galiotto for Lithos Design (IT)








Lithos Design is specialised in wall panels and decorative elements made from marble and stone. Together with the industrial designer Raffaello Galiotto, who has already realised various objects and surfaces for Lithos Design, the North Italian company developed ‘Quadro curve luce’ a system of wall panels which is composed of two different tiles – a flat connecting part and a curved one which contains a hidden light source.
