While we continue to hear stories like yesterday’s news of the Indianapolis Museum of Art firing its security staff to save money, the Field Museum forced to cut jobs, or earlier this month finding the Seattle Art Museum asking to borrow $10 million from its endowment to help pay its bills, finally here’s something in the opposite direction that’s hopefully a sign of things to come. This week, the Milwaukee Art Museum announced that the department store chain Kohl’s has donated $2.7 million to help continue a program for children, one it originally helped fund and launch two years ago. This new money is the largest donation for educational initiatives the museum has ever received. While great for this individual museum, following two years of severely depleted corporate donations, from which money once poured like an open faucet that museums heavily relied upon, Kohl’s gift to Milwaukee is sure to perk some interest in seeing if this is just a one off benefit or a larger indicator that struggling corporations are starting to loosen up the purse strings again to support cultural institutions.

pI received an interesting note in response to A HREF=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/alternative_sleeping_surfaces_part_2_if_you_want_a_real_japanese_futon_youll_need_this_tool_too_17526.asp#comments” yesterday’s post/A about living with a traditional Japanese futon. The author of the note, A HREF=”http://lo13.com/attitude/” Ko Nakatsu/A, took exception to my oversimplified blog-ready description of why futons are folded and put away, and wanted to set the record straight in greater detail (which should be of great interest to architects and designers of environments):/p
blockquoteThe futon’s fold-away function is not [just] for “freeing up useable square footage in a space-tight country”. That notion is merely a benefit from the true meaning and original philosophy of a futon. The true reason for the fold-and-store-away function is so that you can create an “empty space”.
pBy creating an empty-space, it allows for limitless potential of reasons for the room’s existence. It could become a tea room, dinner room, bedroom, entertainment room… the empty room creates “potential” to be any room. Traditional rooms in Japan (which are becoming rare) often have nothing that is permanent, even the “walls” or fusuma, slide away to create a larger expansive empty-space. The people, wall, furniture, and artwork, enter and then leave the room, to return it to empty-space, full of potential…./blockquote /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/japanese_rooms_the_meaning_of_mu_and_kenya_hara_on_emptiness_17529.asp”(more…)/a

pDrzach and Suchy envision their RP’d cubes being used for signage, but we think the architectural possibilities would also be cool, a la IRaiders/I; you could get different interior projections at different times of day, depending on where the sun was.

Polish firm Neostudio Architekci have added a timber-clad extension to this farm building in Poland to create a residence.
Potasze House was originally used by an agricultural university for seed drying and sits in woodland on the outskirts of Poznan.
The single-storey extension accommodates a kitchen, living and dining space, while the existing building was refurbished to house a garage on the ground floor and bedrooms on the first floor.
The existing building has been rendered and whitewashed to contrast with the extension.
All photographs are by Pawe≥ åwierkowski.
Here’s some more from the designers:
This project is located on a picturesque plot that originally was a home for seed drying installation of Agricultural University – and with its magnificent Acacia trees plantation and natural splendor was a design challenge for us.
The main task was to create a new structure that would accommodate a spacious single storey living space with a kitchen and a dining area.
Existing building was to be refurbished to house a garage and storage functions in the ground floor and bedrooms in the upper level.
New structure is attached to the existing one with the staircase.
The entire building is clearly divided into two volumes ñ the old one with its historical charm that shows its primary usage and the addition that is a clean contemporary form.
Used materials and large windows in the living space connect with the surrounding scenery ñ the form seems to be dissolved in the nature.
