You can’t miss this bright red psychiatric centre in Spain, where the differently pitched roofs are meant to reveal how much mental activity takes place in each room.

Completed by Spanish architects ///g.bang/// the new youth facility in Zaragoza connects to the existing Nuestra Señora del Carmen Neuropsychiatric Centre through an underground tunnel.

Roofs with the steepest pitches are located above shared common rooms, while shallow gables correspond to patient bedrooms and staff quarters are located beneath flat roofs.

The red powder-coated zinc sheets cover the entire exterior, interrupted only by frameless windows.

In the past we’ve also featured a mental health clinic where the doors don’t open but the walls do instead – take a look here.

Young Disabled Moduls and Workshop Pavilions
‘Módulo Para El Tratamiento De Jóvenes Con Discapacidades Conductuales’

Young Disabled Modules and Workshop Pavillions by ///g.bang///

ONE CONCEPT, ONE COLOR AND ONE MATERIAL

The assignment is motivated by the need to expand the Neuropsychiatric Center Our Lady of Carmen, in Zaragoza.

Young Disabled Modules and Workshop Pavillions by ///g.bang///

In the first phase there is a new support center for youth with behavioral problems, and currently sharing facilities with the geriatric section and, by the nature of their treatment and pathology, was necessary to become independent.

Young Disabled Modules and Workshop Pavillions by ///g.bang///

In a second phase will be built the “Module for Occupational Workshops.”

Young Disabled Modules and Workshop Pavillions by ///g.bang///

Young Disabled Modules and Workshop Pavillions by ///g.bang///

The program is completed with, reception room, two offices, laundry, office, control room toilets, storage and utility room.

GEOMETRY

The floor plan is rectangular, dimensions 15.5 x 65 m. The facade has no cantilevers , but reflects the emptying of the building volume in the direction north, creating a courtyard to capture sunlight and allow controlled the patients to stay there in the summer.

Young Disabled Modules and Workshop Pavillions by ///g.bang///

The roof, for the most part, sawtooth shape, with variable slopes – very steep at some points – reflects, from the outside, the degree of internal mental activity in relation to the type of rooms they occupy: the resting or sleeping area with a slope of 60%, common areas or with maximum activity have outstanding peak of 240%.

The treatment of the spaces occupied by the medical staff and caregivers has been dealt with flat roofs.

Featured Stockist: Paperchase, London!

please click on the photo for the sourceStarting February 1st, Londoners will have another fine location to find their copy of UPPERCASE magazine: at Paperchase’s Tottenham Court location! Paperchase doesn’t usually stock magazines and they’re doing a trial run at this central store. In addition to UPPERCASE, they’ll have other indie favourites like Oh Comely, Frankie and Selvedge as well as more commonly available mags like Monocle and Wallpaper. (Check out the list on the Paperchase Facebook announcement.) They’ve cautiously only stocked 10 copies of issue #12. Let’s knock their socks off: tell everyone you know to go get UPPERCASE at Paperchase Tottenham Court!

The reason that Paperchase is exciting is the huge potential if they decide to expand magazines to other locations. Their list of stores in the UK alone is astounding. It is a small foot in one door, which will hopefully lead to many more. UPPERCASE does not have a distributor—I do it all myself, so having a few larger chains willing to take a chance is fantastic since I would ship to one central location and they would take care of sending it on to their shops. (I have an exciting announcement about a new stockist, stay tuned over the next couple weeks!!!)

I love my loyal and long-term UK stockists, too:

Dezeen Screen: Nina Levett

Ornaments and patterns by Nina Levett

Austrian designer Nina Levett mixes imagery from punk and pop culture into her designs for textiles, wallpaper and ceramics. Watch the movies »

Her work includes wallpaper that tells the story of a prostitute who has married a client and had a child but finds herself losing her identity, leather seating that’s been hand printed and embossed with images of sperm and cutlery engraved with images taken from the internet.

“Hand-drawings, depending on the project, are often the last part of my work process,” says Levett.

Ornaments and patterns by Nina Levett

“I feel that they are the most important and direct way to find out what’s on a mind, and I find this process to be very intuitive. It’s like the ideas flow out of my pen or brush and I just have to help it happen.”

We’ve published a series of movies Levett made about her work on Dezeen Screen, in which she engraves metal cutlery, colour-corrects wallpaper and makes a silk screen. Watch them here or below.

Nina Levett’s work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna and the Alessi museum in Milan.

A Room for London

Alden Seats by Carson Leh on Kickstarter

I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner—after all, the Paper of Record has been reporting on the perhaps inevitable confluence of fashion and the rise of cycling (don’t call it a trend) for the past couple years, including a particularly telling September 2009 article entitled “Whose Bike Are You Wearing?” In other words, as much as couture has picked up on the growing popularity of biking, we’ve seen far less of the opposite.

CarsonLeh-AldenSeats-1.jpg

Enter Carson Leh’s beautifully brogued bicycle saddles, which have far more in common with handmade dress shoes than, say, a $20,000 Hublot × BMC. Rather, they hearken back to the signature details of oxfords and derbys, a logical intersection of Leh’s obsession with vintage footwear and his passion for cycling. Alden Seats is the result, and his inaugural collection of saddles features wingtip-worthy patterns and faux-quilting for a specific contingent of style-conscious cyclists. (As a member of that target audience, I was interested to learn that the now-ornamental perforations originally served as a drainage system for leather shoes intended for wet terrain.)

CarsonLeh-AldenSeats-2.jpg

CarsonLeh-AldenSeats-3.jpg

Like Melbourne’s Busyman Bicycles, Leh started out by refurbishing existing saddles with custom patterns. Thus, Alden seats are a “line of ready-to-ride leather covered seats that maintain and improve the same hand made quality and style of my current custom seats.”

There will be three seat shapes to start, with four leather colors and nine distinct designs. Styles will include a retro road and track seat, a Dutch-style comfort seat and a slim Pivotal style BMX and MTB seat. These three styles cover the main markets of cycling. Alden would primarily be centered around the rapidly growing community of cyclists purchasing lightweight Dutch-style city bikes and custom bike builders of road and track bikes.
