294. Ryue Nishizawa /// Weekend House /// Usui-gun, Gunma, Japan /// 1997
OfHouses presents “Pritzkers’ First Houses”:
In 2010 the Pritzker Prize was awarded to both Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. What is peculiar in their case is that they still maintain individual offices, besides being equal partners in SANAA:
RN: In 1995 I tried to quit working in the Sejima office, and establish my own office…
KS: But I did not want him to leave (laughter). So I proposed to start a collaborating office together as well as the new Nishizawa office.
RN: I thought about it a little, but in the end I accepted. So we started SANAA in the summer of 1995, and I established my own office in 1997.
Nishizawa’s first commission that he carried out on his own was a little weekend house in an isolated mountainous area near Tokyo. The house needed to be completely closed down because of security reasons, but with the possibility of temporary opening it up to the surroundings. Three light courts were inserted in the simple volume of the house; full height doors negotiate the degree of their openness to the outside. An ever changing interior atmosphere is created with very simple means.

Seene Scrape
Project from Kyle McDonald presents series of image captures with 3D photo app Seene to present their depth structure:
A few random samples from the 670K uploads to Seene.
He has even put the code up for anyone to use: Based on code by Dmitry Yakimenko, you’ll need to download openFrameworks [link] and place the code [link] into a new project. It can only display captures that are stored locally on your computer though (until a browser extension or online app can do this, Kyle has some code here to capture the models and textures).
