Dear Archy, hope everything is going fine! I'm from Italy and currently locked up at home due to the virus, but university is still up and I need a bit of advice! This year we're designing an hotel at the top of a steep quarry, in the mountains, something like the hotel concept by Andrii Rozhko. Got any interesting suggestions? Our basic concept is that of the "crystal" so we wanted to shape the hotel and attached bivouacs like crystals... thank you so much, it's always a pleasure readin you!

First off, to all my brothers and sisters in Italy, I hope things get better soon.

Everyone,

hope this message finds you well, and healthy, with COVID-19 impacting everyone around the world I feel a bit lost, frustrated and helpless. Most of life’s activities are still going on for me, like we are all in a deep state of denial, just waiting for the inevitable nationwide quarantine. While China seems to be bouncing back from the initial outbreak, Italy seems to be in the midst of the worst of it, and in the US we are destined to have the worst kind of proof of the governments inability to lead (here’s hoping they prove me wrong).

So a big virtual hug to all, take care everyone, we are all together in this.

6Dear ARCHy,

estimado arqui, primero que nada quería agradecerle por el contenido de su blog siempre es interesante y grato verle. Le quería pedir una recomendación de edificios de índole judicial o similar, juzgados, corte, etc. Con mi grupo de amigas para la universidad tenemos que proyectar uno de estos y quería saber si sabe de algunos ejemplos contemporáneos e innovadores que se le pueda ocurrir. Saludos y gracias!!

Gracias, quizas uno de estos ejemplos provea algo de inspiracion:

Do you know if really good photography focused books on African architecture? Country specific or by continent as a whole would be cool.

I am not as well verse as I would like on the subject, but some time ago I featured the book African Modernism: The Architecture of Independence. Ghana, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Zambia on the blog.

If you are lost, start simple, look for projects that focus on deliberate use of materials and forms, check out these examples:

I would get my resume and portfolio ready and get to it, before the holidays if you can, but if you are busy with schoolwork use the holidays to get ready and start the year pounding the pavement!

There is a webpage for the Alvar Aalto foundation, you can visit it here. MIT also has info about the dormitory, you can visit here. The information about the restoration is very limited, EYP was the architect but its not featured in their webpage.
