Frank Lloyd Wright introduced the word ‘organic’ into his philosophy of architecture as early as 1908. It was an extension of the teachings of his mentor Louis Sullivan whose slogan “form follows function” became the mantra of modern architecture. Wright changed this phrase to “form and function are one,” using nature as the best example of this integration. “So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal and the teaching so much needed if we are to see the whole of life, and to now serve the whole of life, holding no ‘traditions’ essential to the great TRADITION. Nor cherishing any preconceived form fixing upon us either past, present or future, but—instead—exalting the simple laws of common sense—or of super-sense if you prefer—determining form by way of the nature of materials…”
— Frank Lloyd Wright, An Organic Architecture, 1939

In Hong Kong, because of limited island space, apartments are small, cramped and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to redesign a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to transform into 24 different designs and room options, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the “Domestic Transformer.”

It’s more of a sculpture than a dwelling. Taking cues from a Nautilus shell, the house is put together using ferrocement construction, a technique involving a frame of steel-reinforced chicken wire with a special two-inch-thick composite of concrete spread over it, resulting in a structure that’s earthquake-proof and maintenance-free.

The open concept inside the house is dominated by smooth surfaces, spiral stairs and natural plantings that makes the inhabitants feel like they’re living inside a snail who swallowed the entire contents of somebody’s back yard. While the house is surrounded on three sides by the bustling Mexico City, its West side (where most of its portal-style windows are located) has a breathtaking view of the mountains.

I mean. C’mon, it’s Versailles. In this special episode of OpenHouse, they bring us two exclusive home tours from Paris, France. They spent the day in Versailles and were able to tour through rooms and spaces generally closed to the public. They were given access to the dressing room of Louis XVI and the living quarters of Madame De Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV.

They have unprecedented footage of some of Versailles most famous rooms, including the renowned Hall of Mirrors. They also toured Chateau de Courances, a storied castle-like home about an hour outside of Paris, known for having one of the grandest gardens in France.

This is a video of Frank Gehry talking about the Walt Disney Concert Hall. This video comes from a really great documentary on Gehry by Sidney Pollack titled “Sketches of Frank Gehry”. I am a fan of Frank’s work. It is unique and it’s kinda grown on me. Even if you’re not a Gehry fan, this is an interesting video to watch.

It doesn’t get much grander that Hearst Castle. If you’ve never been, you should make sure to get there one day. In the mean time, Hearst Castle’s museum director Hoyt Fields gives unprecedented access to spaces the public has never seen at media mogul William Randolph Hearst’s famous European-inspired estate in San Simeon, California. Exclusive looks include the private Archives near the iconic Roman Pool, and the renovated servants quarters in Casa Del Mar.

This one is interesting. You’ve probably not seen anything quite like it. The brief was simple: to build a house to retire to in order to grow old, entertain and enjoy the East Anglia landscape. The outcome was as unconventional as they come. A structure that has the ability to vary or connect the overall building’s composition and character according to season, weather or simply a desire to delight. Wallpaper* took a trip to the site to capture the physical phenomenon in the only medium that serves it justice – film.
