It was suggested to turn Cochius’ former residence into an exhibition area and to use the second villa as offices, storage facilities and a cafeteria.<br /><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96129" height="468" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-7.jpg" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" width="468" /><br />Whilst this fulfilled functional requirements, it seemed like a missed opportunity to us at bureau SLA, as the new situation would appear to be not very different from the old one. The museum would have more space, indeed, but this would not be visible from the outside.<br /><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96130" height="468" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-8.jpg" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" width="468" /><br />So what would happen if we made both buildings fully accessible to the public? The museum’s employees could eat in the restaurant, the visitors could have full access to the collection of glass, including that in storage, and the administrative staff could work in the library. Furthermore, the exhibition rooms could be far more spacious. Instead of the small rooms of the existing villas, in which visitors need to climb up and down stairs all the time, circulation and exhibition spaces could to be much more generous.<br /><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96131" height="468" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-9.jpg" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" width="468" /><br />The four pedestrian bridges that bureau SLA designed draws everything together in an elegant manner. Visitors can idle through extensive rooms; only one lift is needed and an enormous amount of space is gained. The bridges serve as storage space in which all the museum’s objects are on display, in cases specifically designed for the museum by Piet Hein Eek.<br /><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96132" height="576" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-10.jpg" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" width="468" /><br />In the historical villas not much more needed to be done; they were elegant by themselves. Repairs were carried out where needed, with some later additions removed.<br /><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96133" height="331" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-11.jpg" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA Bureau" width="468" /><br />The bridges were constructed from several layers of polycarbonate panels and covered by a translucent skin of grey, powder-coated, aluminium mesh. During the day they contrast sharply with the refined old villas, whereas at night they glow in reflection of the 9000 glass objects inside them.<br /><br /><a href="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-11_1000.gif"><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96183" height="332" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-11.gif" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA" width="468" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-12_1000.gif"><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96179" height="332" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-12.gif" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA" width="468" /></a><br /><br /><i><a href="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-13_1000.gif"><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA " class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96175" height="181" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-13.gif" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA " width="468" /></a></i><br /><br /><i><a href="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-14_1000.gif"><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA " class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96172" height="205" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-14.gif" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA " width="468" /></a></i><br /><br /><i><a href="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-15_1000.gif"><img alt="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA " class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96170" height="207" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_National-Glass-Museum-Holland-by-SLA-15.gif" title="National Glass Museum Holland by SLA " width="468" /></a></i></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11499292092044118414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880177455143157897.post-29856130314800784222013-10-16T06:39:00.000-07:002013-10-16T06:39:00.210-07:00The Sperone Westwater gallery by Foster + Partners architects.<span style="color: lime;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sperone Westwater celebrates the opening of its new gallery on the Bowery in New York with an inaugural exhibition by Argentinean artist, Guillermo Kuitca.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97093" height="312" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-10.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nearly 35 years after its conception, Sperone Westwater continues to exhibit an international roster of prominent artists working in a wide variety of media. Its new building, designed by Foster + Partners, doubles the exhibition area and pioneers an innovative approach to vertical movement within a gallery setting.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97090" height="702" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-06.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Responding to the compact 25 by 100 foot site, one of the features of the project is a 12 by 20 foot moving gallery, which connects the upper four exhibition floors and allows visitors to move gradually between levels. It is a prominent feature along the Bowery, visible from the street, its gentle pace contrasting with the fast-moving traffic. At any given floor, the exhibition space can be extended by parking the moving room as required, with an additional elevator and stairs providing alternative access.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97088" height="706" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-04.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gallery offers a range of exhibition spaces, which vary in proportion and ambience. The design incorporates a double-height, 27-foot high exhibition space at street level, with a sky-lit gallery, a mezzanine floor, a sculpture terrace overlooking a park, and private viewing galleries on the fourth and fifth floors.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" height="702" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-03.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A setback at the sixth floor marks the location of the gallery’s administrative offices. Works of art will be stored primarily in the basement, while a library is located at the top of the building, below the mechanical floor.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" height="312" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-02.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The milled glass facade that houses the moving room acts as a buffer zone, protecting the building from extreme temperatures and acoustically insulating the gallery spaces.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" height="256" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-01.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Norman Foster commented:</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">‘The concept for Sperone Westwater represents both a response to the Bowery’s dynamic urban character and a desire to rethink the way in which we engage with art in the setting of a gallery. The moving gallery animates the exterior of the building and creates a bold vertical element within.’</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97089" height="703" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/09/dzn_speronce-westwater-gallery-by-foster-partners-05.jpg" title="Sperone Westwater Gallery by Foster + Partners" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">‘Like a kinetic addition to the street, it is a lively symbol of the area’s reinvention and a daring response to the Sperone Westwater’s major program.

Piled on top of each other, brick constructions from the barrios, go terracing and generating thousands of public interstices and small squares where people exercise their urbanity in flexible and ingenious ways.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="323" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-20.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Medellin’s successive governments have invested in exceptional infrastructure projects in those barrios, aiming to structure and integrate them into the ‘formal’ city with such series of public equipment as library parks, schools, squares, cable cars, bridges, etc. The city has arrived to the barrio.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="297" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-21.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After those successful emblematic interventions in the urged barrios of the North and Center of the city, Medellin now proposes itself to intervene in more affluent areas of the South.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="299" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-17.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dismantled premises of the former steel factory SIMESA, have been turned into the ‘Ciudad del Rio’ (River City): a rigid urban development of housing and office towers dependent of a shopping mall.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="251" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-18.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Public space has been reduced to a narrow park and to the new venue of the Modern Art Museum (MAMM) in a recycled industrial building. If the informal barrios had soul and its structure what have been given, the new Ciudad del Rio has structure but lacks soul. That task the new MAMM shall do. The international invited competition called for the proposal of an extension of the museum next to the industrial building.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="247" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-19.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If formality of the city was exported to the barrios, to the excessive formality of the new Ciudad del Rio could be imported the vitality of the barrios. A Yin yang Dadaist.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="240" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-14.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As in Duchamp’s urinal taken to the museum, in this case we take the Medellin sloped barrio to the Ciudad del Rio. The alternative to the shopping mall as leisure space – MAMM’s role – must happen from the generation of a barrio.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="324" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-15.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The program for the museum competition consisted of series of rooms without any relationship among them. For us it seemed more important the relationship between the exterior public spaces that would activate the neighborhood than between the interior spaces. This condition allows to stop thinking of the project as in a conventional building.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69925" height="239" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-5.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The organization logic is based then on the basic rules of each program component having an address to the circulation and the flexibility to growth over time (just like the barrios!)</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69926" height="492" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-6.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This way the project for the new museum is an informal (but strategic) pilement of blocks that create enormous potentialities in the multiple terraces generated at the interstices. Also those terraces can be seen as spatial reserves for the future growth of the enclosed spaces of the museum. We see it as an incomplete museum.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69927" height="492" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-7.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A museum which can be completed ephemerally with tents and kiosks or definitely by building the terraces until the whole building turns into an impenetrable cube.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69928" height="492" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-8.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not a defined and finished building, it is a barrio.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69929" height="492" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-9.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The project is planned as the new main entry of the museum articulating the new spaces of the extension with the existing ones, and with this gesture the MAMM opens itself to the neighboring ìel Pobladoî district.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69930" height="492" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-10.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The project has a vertical circulation through the interior of the blocks, thus controlled and weather protected, but also (and specially) an exterior circulation that connects one terrace with the other, bringing the public on a path from the street up to the upper platform. Each one of these terraces can be conceived as a small square, making the museum ‘a cascade of plazuelas’.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69931" height="529" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-11.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This double circulation (indoors and outdoors) allows great flexibility both for exhibitions and simultaneity of events. For instance, the temporal gallery in the third level can be accessed from the external circulation while the one in the fourth can be reached independently from the internal passages.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="76" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-12.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lower level’s vocation is to be integrated to the adjacent park. In a simple manner, the theater can be incorporated to it and become a stage that interacts with it.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="183" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/03/dzn_Modern-Art-Museum-of-Medellin-by-51-1-Arquitectos-13.gif" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Towards the center of the museum, the piling of blocks generate a vertical central atrium that allows for a great diversity of uses.

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plan Abu Dhabi 2030: Urban Structure Framework Plan has been created to deliver upon the vision of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, for the continued fulfillment of the grand design envisaged by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the ongoing evolution of Abu Dhabi as a global capital city.</span><br /><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Through ten individual policy statements, the plan specifies land uses, building heights and transportation plans for the entire metropolitan area of Abu Dhabi. Under the plan, the city is projected to grow to over three million people by 2030. As such, the plan provides for large new areas of Emirati housing, inspired by the traditional family structures of the local community, and a diverse mix of affordable housing options for all the citizens and residents of Abu Dhabi.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11499292092044118414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880177455143157897.post-54743521818098366332013-10-08T05:09:00.000-07:002013-10-08T05:09:03.639-07:00Design Museum Holon.<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41870" height="450" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/09/DznDesignMuseumHolonsq1.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><a href="http://www.ronarad.com/architecture.htm"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ron Arad Architects</span></a><span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> are close to completing construction of their first large-scale commercial project, Design Museum Holon in Israel.</span></span><br /><span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="more-41868"></span></span></span><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Layers of COR-TEN steel with varying degrees of weathering wrap around the two main gallery buildings.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41873" height="292" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/09/DznDesignMuseumHolon03.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The museum is part of a 16-year regeneration plan for the city of Holon, outside Tel Aviv.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="299" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/09/DznDesignMuseumHolon04.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The museum will be inaugurated on 2 February 2010.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41872" height="169" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/09/DznDesignMuseumHolon02.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Announces inauguration date for 2nd February 2010</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The city of Holon (Israel) is proud to announce February 2nd 2010 as the highly anticipated inauguration date for Design Museum Holon and its award winning building by Ron Arad Architects.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After four years of construction, the iconic building will be completed at the end of 2009 and will open to the public in February 2010. Significant in so many ways, the structure of sinuous ribbons of varying shades of COR-TEN (weathered steel) represents Ron Arad’s first completed commercial architectural project, of this scale. Ron Arad has demonstrated an extremely sculptural approach, combining ingenuous and playful functionality with highly visual sculptural design.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="253" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/09/DznDesignMuseumHolon01.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The design museum project is the realisation of a 16-year regeneration programme in the city of Holon, just outside Tel Aviv, which has been lead by the mayor for more than 16 years, Mr. Motti Sasson, and the municipality’s managing director, Ms. Hana Hertsman.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The creation of the first design museum in the region is the pinnacle of a long-term urban re-generation project which brings the discussion and exploration of design, culture and education to the forefront,” says Hana Hertsman, municipality managing director who initiated the project. “It not only highlights the role of design and culture in Holon’s day-to-day life, but also the city’s influence globally; I believe it will be a beacon within Israel and far beyond. Ron Arad’s building design as well as the exciting and engaging exhibition developed by the curators, will make the design experience at Design Museum Holon accessible to all, regardless of age or artistic background.”</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More about Design Museum Holon:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Design Museum Holon accommodates two primary galleries and a number of diverse alternative exhibition and education spaces in-between. The Gallery 1 (500m²) celebrates the abundance of natural light in Israel and the qualities it can bring to the display of three-dimensional objects, while allowing curatorial flexibility by modulating light levels. The second, smaller gallery, (200m²) is taller inside but offers a more intimate, personal relationship between the visitor and the object on display.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Annually, Design Museum Holon will showcase site-specific exhibitions, concentrating on design concepts, objects and architecture. In addition to the featured exhibitions, Design Museum Holon will house an ‘Experience Archive’, a collection of international and Israeli design related objects, materials and resources which are all accessible to the public. The archive will be an interactive environment for in-depth research on design, from concepts and materials to execution and trends.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ron Arad:</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since his career began in 1981, Ron Arad has exhibited at many major museums and galleries throughout the world. 2009 is a significant year for Arad with the completion of Design Museum Holon, an unprecedented turn out to his retrospective at Centre Pompidou in Paris and an exhibition in July at MoMA New York, which moves to the Stedelijkn Museum in Amsterdam.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11499292092044118414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880177455143157897.post-39143769858718998302013-10-02T06:14:00.000-07:002013-10-02T06:14:00.108-07:00<h2 class="pagetitle"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suncheon International Wetlands Center <br />by G.Lab</span></h2><br /><div class="entry"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60553" height="450" src="http://www.dezeen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dzn_Suncheon-International-Wetlands-Center-by-GLab-14.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">G.Lab* by </span><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gansam Architects and Associates</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: lime;"> of Seoul have designed a visitors’ centre for the wetlands in Suncheon, South Korea.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60552" height="450" src="http://www.dezeen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dzn_Suncheon-International-Wetlands-Center-by-GLab-13.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Called Suncheon International Wetlands Center, the design was based on the imprint left by receding tides.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60556" height="338" src="http://www.dezeen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dzn_Suncheon-International-Wetlands-Center-by-GLab-17.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meandering paths lead to a visitors centre, with each function housed in a separate structure.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60554" height="274" src="http://www.dezeen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dzn_Suncheon-International-Wetlands-Center-by-GLab-15.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each glazed building has a green roof and is shaded by timber bars on the facade.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60557" height="338" src="http://www.dezeen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dzn_Suncheon-International-Wetlands-Center-by-GLab-18.jpg" width="450" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here’s some more information from G.Lab*:</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">–</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suncheon is one of the 5th largest tidal flats in the world, making it an international wetland that attracts approximately 2.8 million visitors in 2008.

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Polish architect group Krysiak Jagiello Architekci created Gilton Garden Inn located in the centre of Katowice, the capital of the industrial south of Poland - Upper Silesia. The location and shape of the building are limited from the east by a river and from the north and east by a high tension network and local existing and planned infrastructure. A steel mesh used on the facade gives an illusion of a sloping roof and accentuate the dynamic of the shapes. With the height of 40 meters, this building dominates the neighbourhood, the other dominant building is in distance of 450 meters. The exterior was inspired by surrounding area. Exterior openings represent an idea of gaps in a brick that served as an inspiration for the designers. Size of the windows increases with each floor level and creates the vertical growth in the upper, residential part of the building, while in the bottom levels that houses some offices, the windows represents the horizontal growth and its size increases more in-depth.</span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNYBYvk4oYcVh8rKP1XXV7biZy0vlGFLlPyYzTCeYicwtfng25savyHmFl7KEUeNIX03GNqKY6JkWEMqfKQUtR2i8lTj7mxqw8lmD3BCRPI6l2MgsEyc3T_Sowur8IBRBh3D8vlr-ejj3A/s1600/hilton-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNYBYvk4oYcVh8rKP1XXV7biZy0vlGFLlPyYzTCeYicwtfng25savyHmFl7KEUeNIX03GNqKY6JkWEMqfKQUtR2i8lTj7mxqw8lmD3BCRPI6l2MgsEyc3T_Sowur8IBRBh3D8vlr-ejj3A/s640/hilton-01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMTfKL0GWEmmjExN2GnNM1Q_6HBpWvwgHWj_vUhN5RAWXcNjGo94AD-3dSOe9In95hVk40GRaM9tjFEOFasXUYKcdFLxfdXYkLAHOd_49ydRxHAV5NucwrP8XWCQtNPAZDTZeT3tVl7u6a/s1600/hilton-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMTfKL0GWEmmjExN2GnNM1Q_6HBpWvwgHWj_vUhN5RAWXcNjGo94AD-3dSOe9In95hVk40GRaM9tjFEOFasXUYKcdFLxfdXYkLAHOd_49ydRxHAV5NucwrP8XWCQtNPAZDTZeT3tVl7u6a/s640/hilton-02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTEqG0H2pFjMRWwJCZ78a9GGfU3CmNjjcq4vL50mYIFNX9thNRNWnp4l5hemIl88Cb_aOlkFyC2eTv_eC0oZN9OC4u9AmzgQ9EYEC0a42H8i5eQQyNdiAeGbF-gmVJhGq-sMNZ-gxRMZS/s1600/hilton-031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTEqG0H2pFjMRWwJCZ78a9GGfU3CmNjjcq4vL50mYIFNX9thNRNWnp4l5hemIl88Cb_aOlkFyC2eTv_eC0oZN9OC4u9AmzgQ9EYEC0a42H8i5eQQyNdiAeGbF-gmVJhGq-sMNZ-gxRMZS/s640/hilton-031.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11499292092044118414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880177455143157897.post-71847160179633787632013-09-23T05:06:00.000-07:002013-09-23T05:06:00.756-07:00MAGNA MUSEUM.

It is difficult to determine exactly what the structure is, unlike the surrounding caves and rocks, is clearly not part of nature - nor is it a ruin. A picture, a picture, made in a completely different place for a completely different order. Within this shell-shaped structure is a constructed floors, wall of separation space and furnished. SF The landscape evokes a film-like image, which the locals live in more than a deserted spaceship. Over time, the trees begin to grow around the ship, its alignment with the landscape. </span></div><div class="post-content"><a name='more'></a><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Wanting a place that is often occupied for many years and yet at the same time be in harmony with nature, we find the above scenario of a large shell structure floating above the ground. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Being in sync with nature is not to yield to nature - it is coexistence. The existence of the structure depends on its power to resist nature. By isolating the space of desert life and improve their quality of shelter, the house will be protected from nature and a comfortable atmosphere. With this, the home will be carefully and frequent and continuous use. Specifically in the case of the villas, frequent use is leading to blend in with its surroundings. </span></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Shell is a vacation house in Karuizawa, Japan. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The two-story concrete house consists of two tubes with oval sections, arranged around a fir tree. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The floor is raised 1.4 meters from the ground, the architects intended to minimize the time spent on maintenance of the property by the separation of the house of their natural environment. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">"Being in tune with nature is not to yield to nature - it is the coexistence," said Kotaro Ide of ARTechnic. "The existence of the structure depends on its ability to withstand nature." </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Photographs of Nacas & Partners Inc. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Temperatures of the lowlands and high humidity makes the harsh climate. As a result, many homes they have in traditional structures are in decline. Are you in tune with nature? Maybe. But the idea of comfort seems to be called into question. Consequently, a large number of villages have not been in use for many years to lower them further deterioration. Despite the overall prevention of concrete material in the region, its use and structure has helped to raise the town to protect from moisture. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;"><img alt="shell025_sq.jpg" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/01/shell025_sq.jpg" /></span></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Leaving the border between human life and the ambiguous nature is a virtue Japanese. However, this ideal can only be achieved through meticulous attention and care of nature on a daily basis. This might be possible in our homes, but the theory is not a practice when applied to the villas. If a visit to the village will inevitably lead to hours and days of maintenance, why bother going? Is clearly going against the purpose of a villa. Having a type of living space that blends with nature could be attractive, but it seems natural to consider this option only when one is willing to spend only a moment of great maintenance. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Needless to say, villas not only be functional spaces for the weekend. Its main objective is to provide us with a good rest, leisure, and beautiful views that will never become bored - In the surroundings of nature. In the style of many modern sculptures, which aimed to improve the surrounding nature by incorporating into the spatial structure. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Description of the mechanical system </span></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">For the home is actually used, pay attention to your comfort and ultimate performance level. </span></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">With its classic status as a resort, many old villas in Karuizawa take traditional styles, from the time when visitors arrived with the intention to stay at least a month. Never mind that one or two days had to be spent on home maintenance, given the long stay. With the arrival of the Shinkansen high speed rail, Karuizawa is nothing more than an hour and 10 minutes from Tokyo - only to visit Karuizawa weekend has become a norm today. A short visit calls with a shorter duration of maintenance. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The central control system enables all mechanical and electrical equipment to be operated by three buttons. In addition, locks and biometric security system will reduce anxiety and stress on the safety management of the house. The installation of custom made floor heating system minimizes the use of thermal energy to avoid the hassle of emptying the drainage in cold regions. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">It is also very effective in the prevention of mold. It also works as a cooling system that can block the project to enjoy the luxury of a considerable amount of space with large openings. The system is integrated into architectural form. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Assuming future maintenance interior and equipment (including sash) for continuous use, the frame is completely independent. The structure is supposed to assimilate their environment over time. To provide efficiency during maintenance, exposed concrete, finished with a penetrating sealer for concrete. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">Description of the composition of the construction </span></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The plan was to build the village around the big spruce tree as the center of the site, with a row of pine trees in the main view. Initially, we had planned to build a layered structure with three-dimensional curved surfaces, and the C-shaped section was to surround the spruce and the plane of the building looked like the letter J. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">In addition, parts were planned to maintain the double volume space. However, reviewing the budget method of construction and finishing, the plan was revised down to a layered structure of two-dimensional curved surfaces. The J-shaped structure built in two different sizes of cylindrical bodies with oval cut corners. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The straight part of J, a smaller mass is connected to a J-curve shape, a larger mass. The top of the oval building thick walls of 350 mm and its width increases continuously up to 750 mm on both sides to meet structural requirements. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The free curved lines appear on the edge and the curved surface in three dimensions with a sprained hand, appears in the cut surface. But the whole structure was composed of two-dimensional curved surfaces. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">The floor is built above ground 1400mm, with the lower half of the layered structure that stick out to the outside, supporting the roof of the same height. </span></div><div class="post-content"><br /></div><div class="post-content"><span style="color: lime;">All air vents and exhaust are installed below the band, letting the outside air through the grill on the terrace. Furthermore, by designing the windows fixed, try to maximize natural ventilation (which have not fixed the air conditioning in general). Although at first glance, the oval space in a cylinder may appear as a waste of space, the functional use of space is maximized by the installation of furniture in the lower half of the oval cylinder.

House in the mountains of Osaka.<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Design Office has constructed an unusual residential house with a direct view of the Osaka plain located in an exclusif residential area of Takarazuke city of Hyogo prefecture in Japan. The house is locaiduces a feeling of warmth and security and an idea of flying and liberty as birds have. That is the reason why the house is divided into two parts that have the difference in height of 8 meters, so that the ground floor part is invisible from the street side view. The shape of the house replicates the landscape and create an corrugated profile reminding a dragon - traditional japanese myth animal. An extraordinary 18 meter-long terrace is a key element of this building. The terrace offers a splendid view, mountains and the sea 60 km away can be observed. The framework of the house seems to be similar to the deck of a boat floating on a heavy sea. ted on a hill with an elevation of 330 meters, the site has a difference in height of 8 meters.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here’s more from the architects:</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><hr /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Museum of Tolerance is located at the heart of modern Jerusalem, in its rejuvenated city center, on the borderline between the spacious Independence Park, and the urban built environment. The location is a meeting site of three main streets which differ in character and function. Hillel street: a bustling commercial zone; Moshe Ben Israel street: a road crossing the park; and Moshe Salomon street- Nachalat Shiva’s pedestrian mall, a tourist hub, full of restaurants and shops. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98260" height="276" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-6.jpg" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The buildings surrounding the museum site have diverse architectural characteristics, representing the history of Jerusalem architecture from the 19th century up today. We wanted the MOTJ building to be integrated into the landscape without overshadowing the preexisting urban setting on the one hand, while asserting its own unique character on the other, an iconic structure that reflects transparency and openness and generates visual interest at close and distant views. The MOTJ is to act as a bridge between the different architectural styles present in its location on one hand, while stylistically using contemporary architectural language and exploring advanced technology and materiality. We wanted the MOTJ building to stand in the warm embrace of the urban fabric and the park around it, shinning as a jewel set to the skyline of Jerusalem.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98261" height="254" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-7.jpg" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The MOTJ building is planed to host a variety of different activities: exhibition spaces, an education center, a theater, a multipurpose hall, offices, a restaurant, a gift shop, etc. The activities are diverse in the types of visitor communities they serve, in their operating hours, in their environmental requirements and in their interaction with the urban context. The developed building concept answers the requirements of each specific activity, encouraging undisturbed access for the various communities to their appropriate destinations.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98262" height="266" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-8.jpg" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We designed an elongated structure which traces the southern and eastern borderline of the site. The structure orchestrates the three surrounding streets, into a coherent urban space-a new public square for the rejuvenated city center of Jerusalem. The design of the public square incorporates several different elements: a sunken archeological garden, enclosing the remains of the roman aqueduct discovered at the site’s center, a terraced amphitheater, a grove and various public paved areas, for the various activities of visitors.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98263" height="468" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-9.jpg" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The building is divided into two horizontal wings: a three floors floating upper wing which hosts the theater and social meeting spaces, and a two floors lower sunken wing which hosts the children and the adult museums exhibition spaces- the so-called “dark box.”. The entrance floor is located at the level of the public square hosts a restaurant and gift shop The entrance floor is leading up to the floating wing or down to the sunken one. A four-leveled lobby connects the floating wing and the sunken one. Part of the floating wing is suspended over ground level, creating a gap, a doorway, from the built city to the park. Pedestrians who are relaxing in the public square or walking towards the park may be enticed to enter the MOTJ building and experience it.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98264" height="292" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-10.jpg" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Building</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The archeological garden serves as an outdoor space for the sunken wing, contributing to the activities of the exhibition spaces. The garden is connected to the street level by a terraced slope which can be used as a seating area for outdoor performances. It has 1200 seats capacity.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98265" height="396" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-11.jpg" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The architectural language of the MOTJ building sets it apart from its backdrop as a visual icon, while still maintaining continuity in terms of building height and materials with the urban fabric around it. The location of the building on the borderline between the city and the park dictates the design of the building facades. In accordance with municipal regulations, the building facades towards the city are stone-clad, and they exist in dialogue with the 19th and 20th century stone houses beside it.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98266" height="338" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-12.gif" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stone clad</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Towards the park, the structure has glass facades, which relate to the glass park façade of the future courthouse. The stone structure floats over the gap and the glass walls of the building’s entrance. This allows for visual continuity between the city and the park, preventing the building from becoming an impenetrable barrier. The design of the facades, the roof and underbelly as a geometrical envelop that connects folded stone-clad planes may be understood as echoing the geographical form of Jerusalem as a city surrounded by mountains.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98267" height="140" src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/10/dzn_Museum-of-Tolerance-Jerusalem-Chyutin-Architects-13.gif" title="Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem Chyutin Architects" width="468" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The differences in design between the city and park facades diversify and enrich the structure’s visual appearance. Walking around the building may create an element of surprise.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11499292092044118414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880177455143157897.post-35150971566069617172013-08-21T12:17:00.000-07:002013-08-21T12:17:00.668-07:00Zaha HADID - MAXXI Museum Art XXI (Roma - Italy)<object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jpI5KWuzGlU?fs=1&hl=es_ES"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jpI5KWuzGlU?fs=1&hl=es_ES" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zaha Hadid [ </span><a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.zaha-hadid.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.zaha-hadid.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.zaha-hadid.com/</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ] has drawn walls that plough the space delineating fields of strength with fluid trajectories that cross the space, and there are the same intersection to define the circle among inside and outside.

An architecture that opens a tear in the circuit of the time and they forces every of us to change our point of view, that is something that belongs much more to the cinema that to the architecture and the multiplicity of the visions, when everything is confuses and then everything returns clear, as in a film. <br />It's the MAXXI [ </span><a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.maxxi.beniculturali.it/index2.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.maxxi.beniculturali.it/index2.htm"><span style="background-color: white; color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.maxxi.beniculturali.it/ind...</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ] the Modern Art Museum of XXI Century in Rome - Italy (41°55'41.67"N - 12°28'1.77"E).

Simon announced the winner.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“With today’s announcement of Zaha Hadid as the architect of record for the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, we take one step closer to bringing this extraordinary project to life,” Simon said. “We were fortunate to have the work of many world-class architects submitted for the competition but Ms. Hadid’s design truly captured the spirit of what this iconic building will represent to MSU’s campus and the greater mid-Michigan community that will benefit from its presence in the area.”</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The announcement is the culmination of a competition that began in June 2007 when the Broads gave a gift of $26 million to help fund the new museum, which will focus on modern and contemporary art. The other finalists were: Coop Himmelb(l)au (Vienna and Los Angeles); Morphosis (Santa Monica, Calif.); Kohn Pedersen Fox Architects, PC (New York); and Randall Stout Architects, Inc. (Los Angeles).</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When completed, the Broad Art Museum at MSU will be Hadid’s first building on a university campus and her second completed project in the United States.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I am absolutely delighted to be building the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University,” Hadid said. “Art Museums are centres for the exchange of ideas, showcasing the art that feeds the cultural life of the community. I believe we can create buildings that evoke original experiences, inspire people and make them excited about new ideas. The sculptural folds of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum’s design and enigmatic qualities of its steel and glass surface follow a coherent formal logic, offering a sense of unlimited possibilities.”</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 41,000 square-foot building will comprise three levels, including a basement. It will be constructed of steel and concrete with an aluminium and glass exterior and be adjoined by an expansive outdoor sculpture garden to the east. The museum will stand on the corner of Grand River Avenue and Farm Lane at the Collingwood campus entrance.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The museum will include more than 18,000 square feet of space for the following collections: special exhibitions; modern and contemporary art; new media; photography; works on paper; and the permanent collection – encyclopaedic (pre-1945). Additional space will include an education centre, museum shop, visitor café and gathering space and staff offices.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Groundbreaking for the museum is planned for fall 2008 and completion of the project is expected in 2010.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hadid, founding partner of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for both her theoretical and academic work. In addition to the Pritzker Prize, her work has received numerous awards from the world’s most prestigious institutions, including the Mies van der Rohe Foundation of European Architecture; the American Institute of Architects; the Royal Institute of British Architects; the Royal Academy of Arts; the International Olympic Committee; the Austrian Commissions for Science and Art; Columbia University; and Yale University.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of Hadid’s best-known completed projects include the Vitra Fire Station and the LFone Pavilion in Weil am Rhein, Germany; the Mind Zone at the Millennium Dome, London; a tram station and car park in Strasbourg, France; a ski-jump and Nordpark Cable Railway in Innsbruck, Austria; the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, Cincinnati, Ohio; the BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany; the Hotel Puerta America interior in Madrid, Spain; the Ordrupgaard Museum Extension in Copenhagen, Denmark; the Phaeno Science Center, Wolfsburg, Germany; and the Maggie’s Centre, Fife, Scotland.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2008/01/square12.jpg" /></span><br /><a href="http://www.zaha-hadid.com/"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zaha Hadid</span></a><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> has won a competition to design the new </span><a href="http://special.newsroom.msu.edu/broadmuseum/"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: lime;"> at Michigan State University. <span id="more-8640"></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2008/01/15.jpg" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The museum will exhibit modern and contemporary art, and will be adjoined to a sculpture park.</span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2008/01/23.jpg" /></span><br /><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The building will be on three levels, including a basement, and will have 18, 000 square feet of exhibition space.
