Yokohama International Passenger Terminal, by Foreign Office Architects (FOA), 1995⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Recent architecture grads likely spent at least half a semester studying this project- at least I did- for both its structural and formal aspects and its innovative approach to waterfront infrastructure and public space. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ "The greatest conceptual strength of the project is perhaps its sensitive relationship with the urban waterfront. With the observation deck doubling as a fully accessible public plaza, the terminal seamlessly emerges from the neighboring Yamashita and Akaranega Parks to make one uninterrupted, universally accessible urban parkscape. Its height is calculated to achieve continuity with the shore and to ensure that inland views of the waterfront remain unobstructed.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The terminal won several international awards after its completion, including the 2004 Enric Miralles Prize, and brought enormous recognition to FOA, Zaera-Polo, and Moussavi. It also completely challenged the limited role of traditional public infrastructure projects, creating a new precedent of technological innovation and urban integration that many have since tried to match."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Text and images via @archdaily⁠⁠ Photos by FOA/ Satoru Mishima. #foa #yokohama #architecture #japanarchitecture #foreignofficearchitects (at Yokohama, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHygZ3B3hn/?igshid=grdbszs3f66y

Being able to set foot on the project that I admire the most is the most amazing feeling you will get in your life. After an hour of transit, all the exhaustion is washed away by the ocean breeze at the Yokohama bay. Totally worth the effort when you've reached one of your life-goal destination. Sometimes the best travel time is spent alone. #yokohamainternationalpassengerterminal by #foreignofficearchitects #ccaprojecttokyo (at Yokohama International port Terminal)

The architect of this building is #AlejandroZaera. It's one of my favorite buildings, looks like a Japanese masterpiece, is really wonderful. #ForeignOfficeArchitects #EdificioBambu #BambooBuilding #Barcelona #Spain

First, skateboarding as a creative act- the endless search for new spots and new ways to skate them; second, piece of landscape/ architecture that is unlike anywhere else in the world (likely with a high bust factor); and third, the timeless style of Jake.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Also worth noting- this print is available for sale via @pushperiodical⁠⁠ #foa #yokohama #japanarchitecture #foreignofficearchitects (at Yokohama, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHySz_Btu7/?igshid=1wh4qu2oudwv2

John Lewis super store in Leicester, England, UK. Built in 2008 by the architecture firm Foreign Office Architects. The building is covered by two layers of glass with a swirling fabric design from John Lewis archives, allowing light in and a view out, but obscuring the interior from the outside. The use of a fabric pattern recognises Leicester's past as textile-producing city. ... #photo #photography #photooftheday of #johnlewis #superstore #store in #leicester #england #uk by #architecture #firm #foreignofficearchitects . #beautiful #building #architecturelovers #architecturephotography #glass #iphone #iphoneonly #iphonephotography for #instagood #instagram #instadaily #leicestermercury #leicestercity #love #traveling #travel #travelphotography by #seifnn (at John Lewis Leicester)
