Jenny Cestnik’s inspiration
Shenzhen Stock Exchange
I love it when architecture makes me laugh in a "haha! That's cool!" way...
The stock tickers on the underside of the the canopy are brilliant and speak to the future of economic design in our urban cores.
"For millennia the solid building has stood on a solid base which anchors the structure and connects it emphatically to the ground. In the SSE building the traditional base is lifted up the tower to become a floating platform to broadcast the economic information of the virtual market and in turn liberate the space on the ground for public space and events."

element house
A stunning exploration in materiality, light, and darkness.
"This architectural structure, situated in a river valley marking an
edge of a forest park and the Seoul metropolitan area, is made to offer
a shelter and an experience for all senses to the people on their way
to nature or returning back to city."

My crawl space
It's amazing how the most bizarre things can reenergize creative types sometime – we all have our odd quirks right?
With an ill-timed plumbing project intruding on my final project deadlines I found myself in our house’s crawl space looking for the main water shut off valve. While down there I discovered that our foundation was largely in part constructed of the original World War Two workforce housing that sat on our property until 1950. I have always wondered what happened to the original buildings… now I know.
I love making unexpected discoveries like this… they always manage to rejuvenate my passion for the profession and the connection to architecture of the past that directly impacts the design of today.

Philharmonie Luxembourg
Christian de Portzamparc is quickly becoming one my favorite designers, and this auditorium complex is the key reason why.
It's a stunningly simple design of a large concert hall 'shoebox' cut open and surrounded by public and support spaces.
I wish I could design with color and light this way, it becomes part of the building, rather than an afterthought.

PIG CITY
Pork turns out to be the most consumed form of meat for folks in the Netherlands and given such a high demand for production coupled with concerns of disease, the industry is presented with a couple of options to sustain productivity.
Either everyone goes vegetarian overnight or we change the production techniques... and given the unlikelihood of an increase in veggies, a new method for biological farming becomes necessary.
So if the trend is to go towards a healthier organic farming, 75% of the land in the Netherlands would have to be dedicated to pigs... an unreasonable demand.
Pig City is the idea of combining organic feed farming and meat production in a vertical tower element. [hit the link for some renderings...] By condensing the footprint and limiting the need for transport, the possibility of disease is reduced.
My question is, do the pigs that have the penthouse views take a higher price per cut?
