Careyjones architects and Jefferson Sheard Architects have completed Soundhouse, a rubber-clad music studio designed for the University of Sheffield.
7_soundhouse_image-small.jpg

“The overall aesthetic of the black rubber quilt is intended as a literal translation of the need to acoustically contain the building’s use,” explains Mike Harris of Careyjones.

The three-storey building is covered with four 14 x 8 m rubber sheets, each weighing half a ton.

The sheets were stretched and fixed over the structure then decorated with stainless-steel studs, which were screwed into the reinforcement plates behind the insulation to create a quilted effect.

The following information is from Careyjones Architects:

Groundbreaking University of Sheffield building complete
The University of Sheffield’s state-of-the- art music practice and studio facility, the Soundhouse, is now complete. The striking development, conceptually designed by careyjones architects and delivered by Jefferson Sheard Architects, is completely enveloped in black rubber – a technique never seen before in the UK.
Covering 450sq m and is three storeys in height, the building’s unique black cube structure is set to become a landmark on the university campus, the bold and simple design reflecting the existing inventiveness of the Portobello area.
Professor Keith Burnett, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sheffield, said: “The Soundhouse is the first building to be completed in the second phase of our development of the Jessop site, with the first phase seeing the completion of the Sheffield Bioincubator. The unique state-of-the- art Soundhouse is an innovative addition to the campus and will allow our students to nurture and develop their passion for music in a modern and creative environment.”
Mike Harris, Director at careyjones architects, said: “Working with a forward thinking client such as the University of Sheffield allowed careyjones to really push the design boundaries for the Soundhouse. The pioneering ‘music box’ design creates a stunning piece of architecture that sits well as part of the dynamic urban fabric, respecting important existing and new buildings in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the overall aesthetic of the black rubber quilt is intended as a literal translation of the need to acoustically contain the building’s use contained within. As a practice we look forward to strengthening our relationship with the University and continuing our work in Sheffield.”
Tom Rhys Jones, Managing Director of Jefferson Sheard Architects, continues; “From the outset this project was always going to be technically challenging as it was highly innovative in terms of both the cladding and internal fit out. The building required intricate detailing at every stage; internally to meet the demanding acoustic requirements following through externally to the unique envelope of the Soundhouse using a construction method never before used in the UK.
“We believe the detailing has gone a long way to providing the University with the 21st Century flagship building which they envisaged when they approved the original design concept.”
The Soundhouse was constructed by Kier.
Technical note:
The use of rubberised tanking as an exposed external membrane has never before been undertaken here in the UK.
Such an innovative design solution to the external envelope of a building was a huge technical challenge to the designers, main contractor Kier Northern and the supply chain partners.
One key aspect was the off-site vulcanising of the rubber sheets, which involved welding 1500mm-wide sheets together to form a single homogenous sheet, with dimensions of 14m x 8m. There were to be four in total, one for each elevation of the building. Each sheet weighed half a ton and a safe system of works was devised for their installation and final fix to the external structure.
The rubber membrane was placed under tension similar to the skin on a drum, fixed and then decorated with 100mm diameter stainless steel studs. These studs were adjustable and could be screwed back to the reinforcing plates behind the insulation and rubber quilt, thus compressing the insulation and creating the quilted effect.
Acoustic treatments
To satisfy the stringent acoustic requirements, the Soundhouse’s frame was subjected to a number of treatments. The use of dense, double skin blockwork with high specification insulation was the main strategy to reduce the effects of external noise. All connections of the building fabric to the frame had to be acoustically isolated to maintain the acoustics.
These works involved exhaustive detailing and physical on-site inspections through the quality management system. The building was then subjected to stringent on-site acoustic testing by two separate teams of acousticians.

Here’s some info about Next-Gene 20:

The NEXT-GENE20 is about to turn into reality. The official international presentation ceremony, which will be held in Venice during the 11th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia Out There: Architecture Beyond Building directed by Aaron Betsky, will show the outcomes of the wide program of architectural experimentation coordinated by Yu-Tung Liu. All 20 projects which will soon be realized in the Northeast Coast National Scenic Area in Taiwan will be presented.
00teamnextgene20video_01.jpg

The 11th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia will host the exhibition dedicated to NEXT-GENE20 in a collateral event which will be held close to the entrance to the Arsenale (Campo della Tana, Castello 2126/A - commissioner: Paolo De Grandis, Arte
Communications). A text by Aaron Betsky, director of the Venice Architecture Biennale, discloses some thoughts on the project.
As a preview for the press there is a video that will present NEXT-GENE20 to the audience of the Venice Biennale. The video, realized by Squint/Opera in collaboration with iMage, ironically introduces the project borrowing from the language of comic books and presenting the twenty architects as superheroes.
The NEXT-GENE20 project will be officially presented to an international audience during the 11th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia Out There: Architecture Beyond Building directed by Aaron Betsky. All of its protagonists will be present: the initiator of the project Tai-Nien Lu, the coordinator Yu-Tung Liu, the twenty architects. They will celebrate the results of the initiative which is aimed at defining the scenario for the realization of 20 villas in the beautiful Northeast Coast National Scenic Area in Taiwan.
Such a cohesive group participation will once again confirm and acclaim the success of NEXT-GENE20, a project which has already made a name for itself and that will have everyone talk about it still for a long time.
The presence of the project as part of the forthcoming International Exhibition of Architecture at the Venice Biennale is the first and most important occasion to go deeper into the project. From September 14 until November 23, the NEXT-GENE20 exhibition will be in Venice to present the project’s results and expectations.
A wide display of drawings, sketches, renderings and models will re-enact, for the audience of the La Biennale di Venezia, the scenario where the construction site of one of the most lively architectural projects in recent times will soon start.
The houses designed by the 20 invited architects (10 international, 10 from Taiwan) will be presented. Zaha Hadid has also been invited to contribute to the NEXT-GENE20 project by designing a residence (”Symbiotic Villa”) and a building for public use (”Next-Gene Architecture Museum.”). –​

Heineken The City by Tjep

[LTR]
squ-tjep-heineken-14.jpg

Dutch designers Tjep. have created the interior of Heineken The City, a new brand store in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which opened last month.
tjep-heineken-9.jpg

The store comprises six buildings and includes a clothing shop, beer shop, music recording studio for young musicians and a ticket centre for events and trips organised by Heineken.
tjep-heineken-10.jpg

The interior incorporates a three-storey refrigerator and logo made from ice.
tjep-heineken-12.jpg

The designers claim that the store is the first in Europe where all lighting is LED-based.

The following information is from Tjep.:

Heineken: The City
What do you do when Heineken asks you to design their first shop? Do you place furniture and displays into a given space? We thought it would be rather more appropriate to pour furniture into the six monumental buildings located in the heart of Amsterdam, as if we were filling a cold fresh glass of Xtra cold Heineken.
tjep-heineken-13.jpg

This concept translates into displays that evolve seamlessly from the floors to the walls and ceilings in abstract dynamic wave movements. The idea of coldness is consequently applied through the whole shop design including the lighting which is 100% LED based (the first in Europe).
tjep-heineken-14.jpg

You will also find a three story high fridge (possibly another record) containing all the Heineken bottles from different markets around the world. Alongside the fridge an ice crystal evolves along the wall containing over 600 Heineken bottles.
tjep-heineken-11.jpg

When you enter the shop you feel a cool breeze coming from the logo written in real ice on a metal wall (yet another a novelty). The central space features a monumental glass staircase, the material choice throughout the shop constantly supporting a sense of coolness. The floors are made of a new product developed by Senso which features an abstract graphic representation of ice cracks and a large watermark. The cashing desks are sculptural crystal shapes.
tjep-heineken-1.jpg

The shop is devised in four sections:

  • The fashion department featuring specially designed clothing by cutting edge fashion designers, Daryl van Wouw being the first to create a collection.
  • The ultimate beer shop featuring ‘The fridge’.
  • A fully equipped recording studio for young music artists: Refreshing Sounds Studio.
  • A tickets and travel section for trips and events sponsored by Heineken.
tjep-heineken-3.jpg
Information from Heineken:
Heineken is to add a new dimension to its marketing by opening a unique, ultramodern concept store: Heineken The City.
tjep-heineken-4.jpg

Launching July the 5th in the brewer’s home city of Amsterdam, the store comprises of six buildings where special products and services will be sold in the sphere of music, fashion, travel & events and, obviously, beer.
tjep-heineken-5.jpg

Marketing manager of Heineken Netherlands Herwin van den Berg, said, “Heineken The City is not a catering establishment but a concept store that stimulates all senses and where real Heineken ‘wanna-haves’ are for sale.
tjep-heineken-17.jpg

“We literally want to bring ‘Heineken - Serving the planet’ to life with this store. With beautiful products and exclusive services the Heineken brand makes life just that little bit more pleasant.”
tjep-heineken-21.jpg

The design of Heineken The City claims to be “revolutionary” , full of the latest technical devices, including speaking mirrors, 3D TV screens, an ice wall and interactive pillars. This store is the first in Europe to be 100% LED-lit.
Products and services available in Heineken The City are divided into four cornerstones: Refreshing Sounds Studio (music), Fashion, Tickets & Travel (for trips and events) and a Beer Shop (selling beer-related products).
Highlights include limited edition sneakers, special beer bottles from Asia, the opportunity to create self-designed Heineken bottles, or book a fashion tour of Amsterdam.
Heineken The City targets Dutch consumers and will be open seven days a week.

Art Plaza bid

Friday 13 Jun 2008


SEA and EFFEKT architect firms win first prize for Academy of Arts building in Estonia

Art Plaza, by the two young Danish architect firms SEA and EFFEKT, has been awarded 1st prize in the international competition for the new Academy of Arts building in Tallinn, Estonia.
The new academy building is situated in the heart of Tallinn. The building contains facilities for the departments of art, architecture, design, and art history. In addition to the academic programme the project includes a library, gallery, shop, conference facilities and a public plaza. The competition had 96 entries from 26 countries.
The jury said:
"The Jury voted Art Plaza as the winner of the competition because it is by far the best proposal when it comes to architectural concept, outer qualities and inner life. The project is stunningly simple and at the same time fascinatingly complex.
"The outer shape is a beautifully proportioned square tower. Tallinn’s downtown is dominated by visually “noisy” buildings screaming to each other. In this chaos Art Plaza suggests erecting a quiet, calm and perfect tower with only half the footprint of the site, liberating a 4000m2 plaza in the heart of Tallinn. This plaza will stand out as a unique place in downtown Tallinn, filled with students and art. Art plaza will become the new living room of Tallinn.
"The heart of the building is a spiral void. The corkscrew movement connects the entire building and creates 4 public plazas with stunning views of the entire city. The sky plazas open up the building from within, creating an art academy in constant dialog with the city - a modern open academy, which interacts with society and the world.
"The project has potential of becoming an international masterpiece, the beckon of Estonia, attracting people from all over the world to see the art academy of the future – a calm sculpture in the roar of downtown Tallinn."
Art_Plaza is an equal cooperation between the two Danish architecture firms SEA and EFFEKT.

A model for mixed-use in Miami

[LTR]
use in Miami
2420_kpf.jpg


Dramatic and vibrant addition to Miami’s skyline

Striking in its formal imagery, KPF's Espirito Santo Plaza provides a model for mixed-use, high-rise development with a variety of amenities. The tower is arranged with offices and retail at the lower level, residential above, and a hotel at the highest level.
The building makes a strong urban statement to the street; its concave western façade embraces a new landscaped forecourt with a reflecting pool and forms a 30-storey arch which gives the development its distinctive character.
To effectively address building user groups, two distinct entry sequences were developed. At the ground floor level, a main lobby fronting Bickell Avenue serves as the primary point of entry for the office and retail components.
To the rear of the tower, an entrance one storey above grade serves the hotel guests and residents. A large glass-bottom pool allows sunlight to filter down to the vehicular drop-off at grade. Express lifts lead to an eleven-storey sky lobby rising from the 25th floor. This lobby acts as a unifying element, welcoming the occupants and offering dramatic views of Biscayne Bay.

[LTR]
Zenith music hall by architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas has opened in Strasbourg, France.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg05.jpg
The interior and exterior of the structure are covered with translucent, orange fabric so the building appears solid in daylight but reveals its internal structure when illuminated at night.
fuksas-zenith-strasburgmmaggi-5.jpg
The hall seats 10,000. Projections on the textile skin act as advertisements for current performances.
fuksas-zenith-strasburgmmaggi-2.jpg
Photographs by Philippe Ruault.The following information is from the architects:–By its playful form and character, the Zenith music hall contributes to the great Varietee Theaters which were built since the Zenith building in Paris was erected in 1984.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg13.jpg
The new Zenith building is an important project for the exhibition area in Strasbourg. It will be the new attraction which will give new impulse to the future development of the city’s infrastructure.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg07.jpg
The concept of the design is based on a modular and a well balanced organization of the different elements: good views for all spectators, best acoustics and an optimized cost management already addressed during the concept phase of the design. The Zenith music hall provides ideal facilities for the guests and the artist performing.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg18.jpg
The building is to be understood as a single, unifying and autonomous sculpture. By layering and rotating the ellipsoid metal façade structure, the design receives a very dynamic character.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg17.jpg
This is underlined with the translucent textile membrane, which covers the steel-frame and creates magnificent light effects.
fuksas-zenith-strasburgmmaggi-14.jpg
These orange membranes also cover the volume of the music hall itself.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg4.jpg
This is the heart of the building: a totally enclosed and protected space, which creates a special theatre atmosphere.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg6.jpg
Projections on the outer skin create playful effects and convert the façade into a huge billboard communicating with the passers-by for upcoming events.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg3.jpg
The building’s appearance exposed to daylight is of a monolithic calmness that mutates at dawn.
fuksas-zenith-strasburg2.jpg
The inner experience is transmitted to the outside through the transparent skin: the whole building becomes a “light sculpture”.

Walter Towers by BIG

w_rendering_01.jpg
Danish architects and designers Bjarke Ingels Group have unveiled their design for a tower on the Walter site in Prague, Czech Republic.
w_rendering_02.jpg

The building will be a combination of office and residential spaces.
w_model_3.jpg

“What will appear as four different towers is actually one continuous building that is sliced up and pulled apart to maximize the amount of surface and facade area to create attractive apartments,” say the architects.
w_model_2.jpg

The following information is from BIG:

Prague – The Golden City… The City of Hundred Towers…
How can you build a modern tower in this great line of beautiful towers that has become the trademark of Prague? Is it possible to build a tower that fits in the historical framework and the architectural tradition of Prague and at the same time create an image that is so powerful that the tower can become an icon or landmark of the Walter site?
w_model.jpg

By uniting the tradition of building towers in clusters, which is seen in the old Prague, with the rational way of organizing tall buildings as we know it from the American skyscraper, it is possible to make a new kind of contemporary tower that unites history, functionality and the need for a new Walter site landmark.
w_model_4.jpg

What will appear as 4 different towers is actually one continuous building that is sliced up and pulled apart to maximize the amount of surface and facade area to create attractive apartments.
w_model_5.jpg

A series of manipulations of the slab is turning an ordinary apartment slab into a series of towers.
w_diagram_twist.jpg

By twisting the building, it is “opened up” towards its surroundings - letting in people and light.

Russia's new Moscow

10418_hanging3main.jpg





JM’s ‘hanging gardens’ get the green light in Ekaterinburg


As Russia's third largest city with 1.3 million people, Ekaterinburg should expect a higher profile. Yet the city has flown under the radar since it was founded in 1723, until now. Capital of the vast Ural region on the edge of Siberia, Ekaterinburg is currently enjoying an unprecedented level of investment. As the city aims to become a regional business hub on a par with Moscow, an international design competition for a new landmark development in the city has been won by an international alliance and is set to raise the city's profile.​
Russian developer Vector-Stroy, French holding Vinci Construction Grands Projets and UK-based international architectural firm RMJM will collaborate on 'hanging gardens', a mixed-use development including 46,000 sq m of serviced apartments, an international standard five star hotel and the world’s first vertical park which will run through the core of the proposed building.​
Forming the heart of a new arts, culture and sports quarter on the banks of the river Iset, the arched form of the proposed 100 metre structure echoes the poetic curves of the city’s Byzantine Temple of Blood. And behind the glass and steel exterior of the tower will lie a vertical, hanging evergreen park running through the atrium at the heart of the building. Designed with access for the general public as well as those who live and work in the building the park is thought to be the first of its kind in the world.
Matt Cartwright, director of RMJM, the architects behind the scheme, explains the thinking behind the unusual idea: “Like many cities in Russia, extreme climates in summer and winter prohibit many people from enjoying public parks and spaces. We decided to bring the outdoors inside and provide the public with a park they can enjoy year round.
“Ekaterinburg is a city steeped in tradition but which also has a bright future ahead. This new development heralds the start of a new era and signals the investment being made to return Ekaterinburg to the great city it once was.”
The design team explored ways of reducing the energy consumption of the building and it is expected that this development will become a new environmental benchmark for the city. The atrium, for example, will also act as thermal buffer zone to control the building’s temperature.
The vertical park is topped by a public sky park at the building’s pinnacle offering panoramic views of Ekaterinburg and beyond

Coop go large in Korea

10420_cloud%209amain.jpg

Austrian firm Coop Himmelb(l)au to break ground on first Korean project and second largest design to date


Busan Cinema Centre represents a milestone for Austrian firm Coop Himmelb(l)au as the first project in Korea and their second largest ever undertaking. Hur Nam-sik, Mayor of the City of Busan, Yu In-Chon, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism in South Korea and Wolf D. Prix, Design Principal and co-founder of Coop Himmelb(l)au will celebrate the groundbreaking of the entertainment centre tomorrow.
The foundation stone laying ceremony will take place concurrently with the opening of the 13th International Film Festival in the City of Busan.
Commissioned in 2005, the design features an 85 meter roof cantilever which will create a multimedia public urban space.
“The roof as signature and symbol for activity has been one of the topics our team has been working on for the past years”, says Wolf D. Prix. “Our architectural aim to defy gravity reached a new turning point by designing one of the biggest roof cantilevers in our design history which actually never touches the ground – the connection emerges only by the rise of the landscape”.
The roof appears as if it was a cloud hovering above the centre creating a vibrant landmark and protecting a vast 4,000 seat outdoor cinema and event space. The project will also include studios, offices, creative space and a convention center for the Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF). A 1,000 seat multi-functional musical, performance, concert and cinema theater is at the heart of a 4-screen specialized “CineMountain” which acts as a commercial theater and cinema center during non-festival times.

Spikvoorde II by René van Zuuk Architekten

[LTR]
spikvoorde7.jpg

Dutch architects René van Zuuk Architekten have completed Spikvoorde II, a building containing a school and apartments in Deventer, Netherlands.

A primary school occupies the first three floors of the building, with nine private apartments on the upper floors. All photos are copyright Christian Richters except where specified.
spikvoorde3.jpg

The following is from René van Zuuk Architekten:

Spikvoorde II
Spikvoorde is a part of “De Vijfhoek” (The Pentagon), a new neighborhood in the city of Deventer in The Netherlands.
spikvoorde10.jpg

The project is situated in a very prominent location in this area, just across a T-junction which offers a view to all directions.
spikvoorde9.jpg

This distinct location calls for a vertical beacon that acts as a reference point within the neighborhood
spikvoorde8.jpg

Therefore the building has been split in segments that accentuate this vertical effect, which becomes even stronger when reflected in the water when seen from the entrance way. The segments itself are horizontally split to create balance in the facade.
spikvoorde6.jpg

The first segment is aligned with the entrance road. This volume get repeated two times by rotation.
spikvoorde.jpg

The complete configuration curves along with the road that runs next to the water, creating a complex system to the eye but that is highly repetitive in building structure (floor and facade parts). Above image: copyright René van Zuuk Architekten
spikvoorde2.jpg

The north side is different; here the partly underground building follows the adjoining road.
Abov image: copyright René van Zuuk Architekten

On this side the entrance to primary school, which will occupy the first three floors, has been placed.

Next to their entrance a raised playground tops an extension that hides the school’s offices.

After nearly a decade of planning and the largest cultural fundraising effort in San Francisco history, the new Academy will open to the public on September 27. Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Renzo Piano, the new building stands as an embodiment of the Academy’s mission to explore, explain and protect the natural world. Expected to earn a LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the new Academy is topped with a 2.5-acre living roof and employs a wide range of energy-saving materials and technologies.

The California Academy of Sciences is one of the world’s preeminent natural history museums and is an international leader in scientific research about the natural world. Founded in 1853 as the first scientific institution in the West, it is the only institution in the world to house an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum, and world-class research and education programs under one roof. This major new initiative builds on the Academy’s distinguished history and deepens its commitment to advancing scientific literacy, engaging the public, and documenting and conserving Earth’s natural resources.

“Science is more influential and relevant to our daily lives than ever before, and natural history museums can and must deal head-on with the issues of the 21st century,” said Academy Executive Director Dr. Gregory Farrington. “Our goal was to create a new facility that would not only hold powerful exhibits but serve as one itself, inspiring visitors to conserve natural resources and help sustain the diversity of life on Earth.”

Design Driven by Nature
The Renzo Piano Building Workshop, in collaboration with local firm Stantec Architecture (formerly Chong Partners), worked with the Academy to create a design that grows out of the institution’s mission, history, and setting. The new design unifies the Academy’s original array of twelve buildings, which were built over eight decades, into a single modern landmark that places a visual and intellectual emphasis on the natural world.

“With the new Academy, we are creating a museum that is visually and functionally linked to its natural surroundings, metaphorically lifting up a piece of the park and putting a building underneath,” says architect Renzo Piano. “We are excited to collaborate with the Academy on a project in which design and mission are so seamlessly integrated. Through sustainable architecture and innovative design we are adding a vital new element to Golden Gate Park and expressing the Academy’s dedication to environmental responsibility.”
14_solar_canopy.jpg

Piano’s goal was to create a sense of transparency and connectedness between the building and the park through both a careful selection of materials and a thoughtful arrangement of space. Glass is used extensively in the exterior walls, allowing visitors to look through the museum to the surrounding green space of the park along both the east-west axis and the north-south axis of the building.
13_solar_canopy.jpg

The glass, which is manufactured in Germany, is famous for its especially clear composition. To enhance the open, airy feeling created by the glass, Piano designed the central support columns to be extremely slender. A series of carefully configured cables prevent these slim columns from bending. The concrete for the walls and floors will remain untreated, continuing the emphasis on natural materials.
12_living_roof_closeup_nigh.jpg

“Museums are not usually transparent,” says Piano. “They are opaque, they are closed. They are like a kingdom of darkness, and you are trapped inside. You don’t see where you are. But here we are building a natural history museum in the middle of a park, and those are two things that should belong to each other. They should be as connected as possible.”
The building is topped by a colorful living roof—a 2.5 acre expanse of native California plants and wildflowers that creates a new link in the ecological corridor for wildlife. Steep undulations in the roofline roll over the Academy’s domed planetarium, rainforest, and aquarium exhibits, echoing the topography of the building’s setting and evoking the interdependence of biological and earth systems.
The new Academy site is located directly across from the new de Young museum, which opened in October 2005 and was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The architectural dialogue between the two buildings and their unique responses to the environment of Golden Gate Park furthers San Francisco’s growing role in supporting groundbreaking architecture and design.
Setting a New Standard for Sustainable Architecture
The new Academy is one of ten pilot “green building” projects of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, part of a vanguard initiative to develop models for workable, sustainable public architecture. Designed to be the greenest museum in the world, the new Academy optimizes the use of resources, minimizes environmental impacts, and serves as an educational model by demonstrating how humans can live and work in environmentally-responsible ways. The new facility integrates architecture and landscape, and helps to set a new standard for energy efficiency and environmentally responsible engineering systems in a public, architecturally distinguished building.
In Piano’s design, the environmentally sensitive components of the building are featured, rather than hidden. The living roof, which reduces storm water runoff by up to 3.6 million gallons of water per year, includes an observation deck, allowing visitors to admire the rooftop wildlife haven and learn about the benefits of this sustainable feature. The roof is bordered by a glass canopy containing nearly 60,000 photo voltaic cells, which will produce up to 10 percent of the Academy’s annual energy needs.
These photo voltaic cells are clearly visible in the glass canopy, providing both shade and visual interest for the visitors below. Additional green features throughout the building are highlighted with informational signage. There are varying shades of green as measured by the U.S. Green Building Council through its LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system.
The LEED rating system is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for evaluating high-performance, sustainable buildings. Through all aspects of design and construction, the Academy will strive to achieve the highest possible rating: LEED platinum. The Academy’s rating is expected to be awarded by the end of 2008.
In recognition of this commitment to sustainable “green” design, the Academy project was selected as the North American winner of the silver Holcim Award for Sustainable Construction in September 2005. The competition, organized by the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction in collaboration with five of the world’s leading technical universities, promotes sustainable approaches to the built environment.
The Academy was also awarded the EPA’s regional 2006 Environmental Award in recognition of the new building’s sustainable design. The EPA received more than 160 nominations in 2006; the Academy of Sciences was one of 39 recipients to be selected in this very elite group of environmental champions.​

Olympic canoe centre gets go-ahead

[LTR]
10428_Kayak3main.jpg





London 2012 Olympic plans have been strengthened this week by the planning approval for the White Water Canoe Centre at Broxbourne. The Centre will be retained as a legacy sporting and leisure attraction following the Olympics. Following Broxbourne Borough Council's approval, the plans will now be referred to the Government Office for the East of England to grant planning permission.
The White Water Canoe Centre will be built by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire to host the canoe / kayak slalom events during the Olympic Games in 2012. After the Games, the venue will be developed to become a sporting and leisure facility for canoeing and white-water rafting, as well as a major competition venue for elite events. The Centre will be owned and managed by Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, and will sit alongside the existing centres of sporting excellence in the Lee Valley Regional Park.
A planning application for the White Water Canoe Centre was submitted in the summer following public consultation with local residents on the venue plans. Broxbourne Borough Council on Tuesday night granted planning approval allowing the plans to go to the Government Office for the East of England to grant planning permission. The venue plans include:
- An international standard Canoe / Kayak Slalom Course – an Olympic standard 300m course, with a warm-up course and finish lake. A new artificial water body will be constructed and the white-water will be created through a system of pumps
- New parklands - the canoe course will be located within a wider parkland setting. The landscaping works will include path and bridge networks throughout the venue to facilitate spectator access and viewing
- A new facility building – containing a reception, café, changing rooms, shop, offices, spectator viewing facilities, equipment storage and water pump/filtration facilities
David Higgins, ODA Chief Executive said: “Securing planning approval is a significant milestone and keeps us firmly on-track to deliver the new world-class facilities at Broxbourne in good time for the Games. Our plans for Broxbourne are a key part of spreading the benefits of the Games around the country and will help us create a major leisure attraction for Broxbourne and the East of England region for many years to come[/LTR]

The World’s Largest Fountain in Dubai

[LTR]The World’s Largest Fountain in Dubai

Dubai’s prominent developer, Emaar Properties said on Monday it plans to build one of the largest fountains in the world as the centrepiece of its Downtown Burj Dubai project. Arabian Business reveals what the real estate giant has in store.


The fountains, which has yet to be named, will be capable of shooting water over 150 metres into the air, the height of a 50 storey building, and stretch over 275 metres, the length of two football fields.



The $218 million project will be 25 percent larger than the iconic fountains at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.



Like the Fountains of Bellagio, Emaar’s fountains will include an integral light and sound show and is expected to become one of Dubai’s major tourist attractions, drawing over 10 million visitors per year.



The fountains will shoot 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any given moment and feature over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors.



The fountains have yet to be named and a cash prize of $27,225 has been assigned to the winner of a competition to name the water feature.



The structure is scheduled to be operation by 2009.

Stable structure

[LTR]

70F architecture’
s Sheep stable In Almere, the Netherlands provides more than a home for the much needed sheep


The city of Almere has a sheep population of about 80. The sheep are mobilized to keep the powerful weed “acanthus” or “bears-breech” that grows in the “vroege vogel” - forest and “kromsloot” - park in Almere under control. To centralize and house this population, a sheep stable was needed.
The stable is designed with an a-symmetrical homogeneous cross-section. The part of the building where the sheep reside is relatively low; the high part is situated above the (public) pathway and the hay storage section, making it possible to store a large amount of hay. The shape also creates a natural flow for the air inside the building, which is refreshed by two slits at the foot of each long side of the building.
The detailing of the corner of the building, where the long façade ends and the gable starts, is extremely important for the overall experience of the architecture of this building. It emphasises the cross sectional shape of the building, and finishes the long façade of the building, which starts as a façade and slowly becomes roof.
The construction (pine) and cladding (Western Red Cedar) are made of wood. Only the curved girders are made of steel. This was done to emphasise the tube-like shape of the interior, which would have been less strong using twice as high wooden girders. All vertical walls in the stable and office are clad with beech plywood.

The stable is designed to make it possible for the public to visit the building and experience the keeping of sheep up close. At one end of the building, on the second floor, a room for the shepherd and a small office is realised. There are sleeping facilities for the shepherd, who has to stay over night in case any sheep are lambing. Work in and around the stable will be done by, amongst others, people who live with a mental social or psychiatric disability, supervised by the shepherd.
Apart from the public function, the Muslim community of Almere will be able to buy the lambs they need for yearly ritual purposes.

Toy library in Bonneuil-sur- Marne

[LTR] Toy library in Bonneuil-sur- Marne
by LAN Architecture


July 24rd, 2008
lud_lan_pht_ext_1sq.jpg

Paris-based LAN Architecture have renovated a building on a 1960s social housing estate in Bonneuil-sur- Marne, France, to create a toy library for children.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-lud_lan_pht_ext_det.jpg

The project involved creating a free standing, cast-concrete shell around the existing two-storey building.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-lud_lan_pht_ext_2.jpg

The following information is from the architects:

Children Toy Library – Bonneuil-sur- Marne, France
LAN Architecture, Paris.
The Children Toy Library of Bonneuil-sur- Marne is a public building as well as a playing space for children: the project represents the opposition between monumentality and conviviality, a dialogue in the same construction.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-the-new-skin-surrounds-the.jpg

It is located in an area where social housing from the 60’s have a strong physical and social impact. We designed exterior and interior spaces respecting both strategies.
masterplan2.gif

The building façade, as a shell, is linked with its urban context, translated into its shape, monolithism and strictness. We wanted to create a strong urban symbol, disconnected from its environment and whose shell could protect its core and participate to the regeneration of Bonneuil-sur- Marne social structures.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-axonometry.jpg

Rehabilitate - Renovate
Architecture alteration: towards the shell
The Children Toy library of Bonneuil-sur- Marne was created in a crossed reflection on several axes:
  • Changing destination and utilisation of an existing building
  • Conception of a playing area for children
  • Creation of a public equipment in an unstable area through a small scale project compared to the surrounding buildings
  • Confrontation with a very restricted budget (originally planned for internal arrangements)
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-lud_lan_pht_ext_4squ.jpg

We decided to set up an unscaled and timeless design, a solid mass object, an urban symbol able to separate itself from its environment, that is able, like a shell, to protect its contents; a volume that seemingly always existed, looking-like a bunker or a vernacular construction.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-lud_lan_pht_int_1.jpg

A new skin for an old body
Our strategy was inspired by a medical logic of intervention. The creation of a supplementary freestanding skin allowed us to control the interface between exterior spaces, building and interior spaces, but also to answer the requirement to create spatial benefits.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-lud_lan_pht_ext_3.jpg

The new facades juxtaposed to the existing building, create the alteration, adding a monumental entrance, a new open courtyard on the first floor, and supplementary surface for administrative spaces, saving the original concrete structure. The shell is a green-tinted raw concrete cast into coffering simulating wood slats.
childrens-toy-library-by-lan-architecture-glass-roof-detail.jpg

The opposition between the hermetic and closed outside and the coloured internal spaces represents another interest of the project. Children play in a sort of cocoon, rich in light variations, rising up over the two levels, in a simple, functional and intimate scale volume.

RMJM's New York and Dubai offices work to bring the old back into New Dubai

Around Dubai, towers spring up almost in the blink of an eye. Glass and steel permeates the skyline creating a jagged, sparkling and intensely futuristic cityscape. But within this towering city a new type of futuristic landscape is set to challenge this aesthetic. International architects RMJM have been chosen by investors Nakheel to design Madinat Al Soor – a pedestrianised city which will house 22,000 new residents.
Part of OMA’s Waterfront City, Madinat Al Soor will occupy a much lower profile across the water from the “Manhattan of Dubai” says RMJM’s Design Studio Director Steven Gifford. “What’s different about it is, in Dubai, it’s a harsh climate in terms of heat planning principles. Even the idea that people will walk fairly significant distances, that is fairly different for Dubai . This is not a high-rise city.” He adds, “This is almost like the Greenwich village or Soho of New York.”
Pedestrianisation is the key to the design in this city. It is being designed to be “so pedestrian friendly that people would be happy to walk two miles,” says Gifford. “The elevations will have a lot of sun shading - it is about controlling light and shadow to make it beautiful and allowing people to enjoy being out in it and not just in their buildings.” To achieve this, the buildings themselves will shade other buildings. Instead of the wide streets typically constructed in ‘New Dubai’ much narrower streets will be built creating much needed shade from the extreme temperatures. Gifford explains that intriguing design is important in encouraging people to walk rather than take other transport. He advised that the design will look to inspiration from “great examples of architecture throughout the world which offer a pleasant, humanistic feel – we are looking to bring this back into Dubai.”
Translated in English as City of the Wall, Madinat Al Soor will feature a thick wall based at the western element, inhabited by retail outlets, private residences and hotels – the thick walls contributing to the sustainability involved in cooling the city by design as opposed to artificial cooling elements necessary in glass and steel designs. Gifford states that this will also help to make this a “destination place”.
Madinat Al Soor will be linked into the national train system and for those who struggle to walk within the city a tram service will also function within the city. Alongside the obvious emissions reduction it is hoped that the combination of solar shading, light ventilated roof systems and landscape design could result in energy savings of between 30 and 40 percent.
Recent reports by ESI advised that Dubai will soon face a skills shortage in the construction industry. Gifford is confident that this will not affect the development with Nakheel employing several of the top construction companies in the UAE. “Waterfront City is a big step forward in terms of masterplanning in Dubai,” he said, “If the pace of construction slows down just a little bit that will be great for the masterplanning and for the design – and for the workforce.
“We are looking forward to this design project as a way to create something totally unique to Dubai but also a new way of designing a city that is much more sustainable,” he said, “this is why we are looking to the old-city because they had to be sustainable. They had no choice.”

Dupli.Casa - House near Ludwigsburg, Germany by J. MAYER H. Architects

The geometry of the building is based on the footprint of the house that previously was located on the site. Originally built in 1984 and with many extensions and modifications since then, the new building echoes the „family archaeology“ by duplication and rotation. Lifted up, it creates a semi-public space on ground level between two layers of discretion. The skin of the villa performs a sophisticated connection between inside and outside and offers spectacular views onto the old town of Marbach and the German national literature archive on the other side of the Neckar valley.
Jürgen Mayer H. is founder and principal of this crossdisciplinairy studio. He studied at Stuttgart University, The Cooper Union and at Princeton Universtiy. His work was published and exhibited worldwide and is part of international collections like the MoMA New York and SF MoMA. His work was awarded with numerous prizes, i.e. the Mies-van-der-Rohe-Award 2003 Emerging Architect and Winner Holcim Awards 2005 Bronze Europe for Metropol Parasol. Jürgen Mayer H. tought at Princeton University, University of the Arts Berlin, Harvard University, Kunsthochschule Berlin, the Architectural Association in London and is currently teaching at Columbia University in New York.

The puzzle of rural Chile

rural Chile

Wooden jigsaw design pieces path out the Chilean countryside

Landmark, a work by unknown architects-in- training R. Hernández, M. Valdés y O. Véliz is the final work of their Architect´s diploma from the School of Architecture, Universidad de Talca in Chile.
The pair were involved in all phases from design and management to the final build of work of architecture which contributes to the public, as was the criteria.
Landmark traces a route through the coastal mountain range which runs along the Pacific Ocean on the west, and the Central Valley on the east, using existing ancient paths that are the only infrastructure for connectivity in this area called Drylands. 7 modules are built along the route, each of them performing as a device for orientation and resting areas for tourists. A landmark is created through the presence of each module, located in points where the route changes, or crosses a path, defining a new territory.
Beyond being a guide, each landmark creates conditions for a short rest, gives the tourist the possibility to get in touch with people living in the sorroundings, and defines a sort of public space for those people to meet.
The material used for the modules is selected in a way to give back to the region the wood that is produced through forestry in the area. The wood used is reclaimed leftovers from industries located in the sorroundings which would otherwise be used to fire up the heaters.
The dimension of the pieces, the largest being 50 cm long, is taken as a condition for design. Thus, the structure of the box (named as Bräckzen), is shaped as an irregular web, built out of small wooden modules no longer than 16 cm length. In all, 3300 small modules were used to build the structures
