MALOPOLSKA GARDEN MALOPOLSKA GARDEN OF ARTS BY INGARDEN AND EWY



Krzysztof Ingarden

Partendo dal recupero della vecchia sala dei cavalli da sella del XIX secolo, utilizzata negli ultimi anni come magazzino e laboratorio di strutture teatrali, andata in disuso ed abbandonata si elabora un progetto per creare un nuovo centro culturale nel cuore della città di Cracovia.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Un recupero totale che interessa volumi, strutture e precedenti funzioni pensato per essere perfettamente integrato nel contesto della città vecchia, ma nello stesso tempo distinto e distinguibile con una personale architettura fatta di texture, colore, rapporto con la strada, articolazione della facciata che confonde la distinzione tra storia e contemporaneo.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Bruno Zevi diceva che “l’architettura è uno spazio teatrale” e in questo edificio è ciò che si ritrova in modo insolito ed inaspettato con uno spazio vivo e vitale come punto di riferimento alle persone ed agli artisti impegnati in diversi campi dell’arte creativa. Un nuovo polo urbano al cui interno trovano spazio un teatro con una sala concerti e sala conferenze dotato di spazi espositivi per eventi ed esibizioni.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Partendo da una struttura a T si è creato uno schema flessibile che consente di aprire verso l’esterno gli spazi ed articolarsi in moduli concentrici capaci di adattarsi alle esigenze del momento sia per manifestazioni e spettacoli aumentando e riducendo la sua capacità.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Il progetto prevede una facciata vetrata che si sovrappone al vecchio fronte della scuderia realizzato in mattoni a faccia a vista che crea una sovrapposizione elegante ed integrata che lascia vedere l’edificio storico.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Al contempo la vetrata iscrive un nuovo spazio che è in relazione anche con l’esterno, dove si trova un “arte giardino” posto di fronte, con una trama del pavimento che dal giardino entra in questo spazio creando una continuità fisica.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Una zona di comunicazione che funge da filtro tra esterno ed interno come spazio aperto al coperto, come una zona di confine e luogo di possibili attività artistiche, di mostre all'aperto, gli eventi e le proiezioni multimediali, e l'organizzazione di fiere e promozione.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Il tutto si completa con una biblioteca multimediale (Arteteka) con un nuovo edificio dalla strada, distribuito su tre piani con collezioni multimediali tematicamente legate all'arte.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Al primo piano si trova la prima collezione di musica al piano di sopra, le belle arti e la letteratura ed entrambe le parti sono collegate in un unico sistema funzionale attraverso la caffetteria che si trova al livello più basso al piano terra.

Krzysztof Ingarden

Un progetto che riesce a ricucire con tatto e senso dello spazio nel rispetto dell'architettura preesistente un luogo dimenticato che torna a rivivere con forza vibrante come possibile nuovo polo della città come emanazione pura del concetto di Gesamtkunstwerk.

CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM BY FRISLY COLOP MORALES, JASON EASTER, ŁUKASZ WAWRZEŃCZYK



Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

“This proposal for the New Contemporary Art Museum (NCAM) in Buenos Aires embodies the city’s dynamic cultural vibrancy. The building sits along the Rio de la Plata, plugging into the internationally influenced urban context as an architectural artefact representing the city itself.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

The design provides various exhibition and gathering spaces for both programmed and passive interaction between local visitors, tourist and the various exhibits of architecture, painting, sculpture, fashion and textiles. Two such external spaces activate the site and enhance the Puerto Madero waterfront promenade experience. By recessing the corners of the East façade a plaza is created to the South and an amphitheatre to the North.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

A large framed opening in the North elevation holds a dual-direction stage linking the interior auditorium with the exterior amphitheatre. Large retractable panel doors enable performances for visitors located inside, outside or both simultaneously. A second exterior gallery and entry portal is created by lifting the central portion of the building mass. This covered multipurpose space connects the East and West areas of the site, activating circulation around the building and framing the view to the canal.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

A linear lighting design integrated with the underside of the building to signal the entry and illuminate this area for evening events. The light beneath the form allows the building to stand as a beacon along the promenade. From beneath the building visitors enter into a four-story atrium which acts as the vertical spine connecting the exhibition spaces above. To the North and South of the atrium are three levels of single and double height galleries.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

Minimal walls create variable separation of the spaces, catering to the requirements of the curators. The open atrium is traversed by a walkway gallery along the west façade, connecting the two ends of the building. The top of the atrium space is punctuated by a large café which provides views to the various galleries below. A panelised façade composed of primary frames and secondary filler panels washes the internal spaces with varied quantities of natural light.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

By altering the proportions of solid to glazing within the filler panels the façade opens to provide a large amount of light to the atrium and closes near the galleries where moderate and indirect light is best. With the longer facades of the building facing East and West the skin receives large amounts of solar radiation. Therefore, the secondary panels are positioned within the primary frame to provide deep reveals in these trouble areas. The diagrid frame system serves as shading devices to mitigate solar heat gain.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

Low e-glazing provides additional protection and moderates the amount of cooling or heating required for the building. The roof of the building takes advantage of the orientation through the use of a flush mounted solar panel roof. Large chamfer surfaces running the length of the building orientate portion of the panels towards the morning and evening sun maximizing the angle of incidence and increase the efficiency of the panels.

Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk

The NCAM Buenos Aires is a remarkable venue which presents itself as a participant in the current architectural movement of the region, connecting to the context and becoming the canvas upon which the contemporary arts will continue to redefine the now and future.” Description of architect Łukasz Wawrzeńczyk.

E.J. OURSO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS BY IKON.5 ARCHITECTS



Ikon.5 Architects

The E.J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University is a glass and steel academical village’ for business education.

Ikon.5 Architects

The courtyard site plan and building forms are contextual— recalling the sloped roof pavilions and arcaded courtyards of the adjacent historic campus.

Ikon.5 Architects

To illustrate a forward looking aesthetic that embodies the mission of the school, which is to generate business innovation in Louisiana and the Gulf region, these traditional architectural forms are constructed of contemporary materials and details.

Ikon.5 Architects

The pavilions are clad in ceramic coated translucent mirror glass and the rotunda is clad in a bronze solar screen resulting in a composition of forms that are ephemeral apparitions of the original campus.


Ikon.5 Architects

This composition reflects the strong heritage of the campus while looking to the promises of the future.

Ikon.5 Architects

The design team researched glass technologies and developed a cream colored ceramic fritted insulating glass unit with mirror glass back panel which creates a moiré pattern over the surface of the pavilions resulting in a three dimensional appearance that is similar in color and modeling to its stucco-clad neighbors.

Ikon.5 Architects

The south and west sides of the rotunda are surrounded by a custom bronze screen that utilizes an arch motif which recalls the university’s treasured campus arcades.

Ikon.5 Architects

The screen is designed to shield the glass rotunda from harsh solar gain.At the ground level, the pavilions, which house the classrooms are interconnected by an arcade and surround the landscaped courtyard.
Internally, a multi-story business commons, located in the rotunda, opens up visually and physically to the courtyard and is the iconic centerpiece for the business school campus.

CAN BISA BY BATLLE AND ROIG ARQUITECTES



Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

Can Bisa is a late 19th century mansion, owned by Vilassar de Mar Council, now part of a small cultural center and 14 social housing.


Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

Situated on the Riera de Cabrils watercourse, it occupies part of a street block that used to include a factory. Part of the demolished factory was left intact in one of the facades as homage to its historical origins.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

Its historic and heritage value and the strategic position it occupies in the town as a whole led the Council to consider it the ideal venue for a cultural facility, completing the complex with a social housing block.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

During the implementation of the facility’s programme it rapidly became apparent that it would be impossible to accommodate all the necessary uses in Can Bisa, which is basically given over to council offices; the auditorium, bar and meeting rooms are therefore arranged on the ground floor of the residential building.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

For the dwellings, the General Plan specified two volumes of different heights, joined to form an L-shape that respects the width of the streets and mounted on a larger base which is envisaged to accommodate the auditorium.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

The aim of the project was to unify the volumes by means of a single sloping roof, construct a continuous façade onto the streets, leading to the dwellings, and lay out the interior volume to encourage interrelation with the mansion.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

The passage generated between the two buildings becomes the main entrance to the complex.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

Its dimensions are more suggestive of a courtyard and, together with the gardens around Can Bisa, it comprises a series of leisure and recreation spaces that complement the activities offered by the facility.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

Ceramic planters designed specially by the artist Carme Balada serve to organize the complex. Both the housing block and the mansion are given a textured finish of white stucco, in strips of varying widths.

Batlle and Roig Arquitectes

The balconies and shutters are made of metal, with masonry lattices. Part of the old factory is retained in one of the façades to bear witness to its past.
