Open-House, 15 South Putnam, Buffalo

Published on May 30, 2008 in architecture, art, buffalo, cities, culture, designer, industrial design, night, photo, video and Western New York. Closed Tags: , , , , , .


A fantastic project by University at Buffalo architecture students where they bought a vacant city home from the city and created a work of art last year. Then gave it to a family to live in.

This house at 15 S. Putnam has stood victim to the elements – it’s been vandalized, looted, and its leaking roof has made it uninhabitable. In June 2006, the structure was condemned by the city due to structural problems, destined for demo.

But now – thanks to cooperation between the University of Buffalo School of Architecture, Harvey Garrett, and home owner Dennetta Stikkel – new, and decidedly unique, life will be breathed into the otherwise abandoned house. Under the direction of Professors Frank Fantauzzi and Brad Wales, the project architect, 14 graduate students will be working creatively to revitalize the structure. It is a unique opportunity for the students to use their classroom architecture training in a real-life application.

Nebula

Photographer Eric Africa obtained this image of the Garnet Star Nebula (IC 1396) by spending several nights in his “light-polluted backyard.” Africa’s images of IC 1396, the Rosette Nebula and M 31 are proof that an Earthbound photographer can score some amazing pics. His telescope, the Takahashi FSQ-106, is commercially available for around $4,000. Click through for a gallery.

That would have been bad advice for amateur astronomer Larry Alvarez. Check out both his videos and stills.

Hugh Ferriss, Futurist, Architect

Hugh Ferriss

Early twentieth century architectural renderer Hugh Ferriss secured a lasting legacy with his urban futurist drawings of looming Art Deco buildings, mysterious domes, sensuous spaceships, and skylines that look eerily like today’s cities and downtowns. For his modernist visions of the city — some of which really remind me of Mike “Hellboy” Mignola’s work — check out his classic 1920s book, The Metropolis of Tomorrow. And of course click through for gallery of some of his most stunning work.

View a gallery of incredibly inspiring drawings by Hugh Ferriss from the Avery Collection at Columbia University. Great coverage by feuilleton too.
