THE GOVERNING ELEMENTS FOLDING INTERFERENCE ENGAGEMENT (harmony with nature)

BETWEEN THE LINES (where spaces evolve)

The precedence of natural setting for the site- emergence of the transverse line from mountain to river

The surrounding urban condition with the governing trace of transverse line over site

MOUNTAIN

SOIL

The urban block and the site Mapping the footprint of the building according to surrounding urban block. Use of the green park (existing) to create an interval between the road and the building.

The transversal line changes conditions within signing into the public space, changing the form within the building and ending towards the mountain line. The height of the building is therefore raised than the surrounding building to terminate visually to Ahn mountain.

The form of the line creates the governing section of the building that creates volumes and views, both exterior and interior, for a quality interiorized public space.

Resultant section

The contemporary city is whirled with potential energy and tangible and intangible fluxes. Composed as states of natural and artificial, these fluxes lie between the soil and the sky. A city seeking a foundation of learning and knowledge in its social sphere invests in community life and its people as the human capital, tapping this inherent potential as an opportunity to put forward the path of change. The city with such aspirations focuses on an invisible separation that lies between the realm of architecture and the public domain. It is here where learning cultivates. An architecture that celebrates communal and collective values. The evolution of the library inclined more to the public space of appearance ensures its dependence on the changes in socio-environmental conditions. A public space not enforced but that encourages participation. With a precedence to natural setting as an important criteria in Korean architecture, the idea of a library gains permanence by its urbanistic dimension to innovate and introduce a new form in the permanent landscape of the city. The integration with this setting is the READING BETWEEN LINES

direct connection with external public spaces

Reading between lines is an architectonic medium through which the collective dimension and the communal aspiration of the city reflects upon learning and knowledge. It overlaps many activities with the function of the library, pro-activating the dialogue between the interior and the exterior spaces. It indicates the building of a landmark intercepting the lines of the city grid with the fluxes of knowledge and information. A landmark marking the eastern edge of the city of Daegu with a language not contesting with its surrounding but permeable and harmonizing with nature. Is an experience that investigates the idea of library gaining permanence by its urbanistic dimension. It focuses on the evolution of the library as an interiorized public space, reflecting change and a city’s ever seeking pursuit for the eternal utopia. A public space that is not enforced but that encourages participation, that contributes in the formation of fundamentals of a knowledge seeking society, offering spaces to meet, exchange and learn.

The north east corner gives a city face to the building with vertical shading device creating an edge between the entrance, court and the outer plaza. Application of external wooden skin for the pres-ervation room and recessed glass façade for offices at 3.5m level.

An use of available resources in the best manner facilitates an intelligent building. The rain water (in Korea is a precious resource)is collected in tanks used for irrigating the green areas. The grey water is treated and used for same purposes. Solar panels are placed of the roof to use solar energy and reduce the consumption of energy from the city grid. The heating system and cooling system run inside the fase ceiling and this works with the circulation of water through the heat pump proposed to run using geothermal energy.

The vertical shading device reduce the heat gain and energy exchange is achieved through courts facilitating natural exchange of air. Use of solar energy reduces burden on resources for consumption.

Wall facing south creating a city face and blocking the south sun. Light filters through the gap be-tween the mass creating adequate lighting conditions and preventing harsh heat.

Wall facing south creating a city face and blocking the south sun for the reading area. For above floors the uniform skin continues to filter light into the children’s’ area.

The vertical shading device continue on to shade the reading spaces and the chil-dren room from the south and the west sun.

The uniform vertical shad-ing device continues to screen the sun and filter in light in west and north for good reading conditions and children’s room above. The north face acts as the city face as the backdrop of city and its public activities.

The programmatic volume of 250,000 m3 with a height of 30m at which the panoramic skyline of the low height high density city can be viewed.

This urban block in British Delhi is isotropic in charac-ter solved with the process of excavation. What consti-tutes the genetics of this ur-ban block? The block of built spaces is generated through the idea of excavation to achieve the constituency of its grain.

The introvert character of the block is obtained by removal of a heavy mass which transforms as the inner street connecting the entire mass.

Removal of large chunks of the block to enhance perme-ability with visual and physi-cal fluxes.

Further excavation of quali-tative public spaces and units that together consti-tute the main component of the DNA of the block . This achieves the chaotic and charming volumetric dimen-sion of an Indian township.

Enhancing bio-climatically, the block answers to light and air by removal of larger volumes.

A provocation. Slums are not something to be hidden. Screen are added to give the identity of a farm fence housing a microenvironment within the larger city. The screen houses the service pipes and required structural support. Ancient Delhi Colonial Delhi Modern Delhi Contemporary Delhi

NExT?what’sNeverExtinctTruth

An agrarian economy. An inception of its new colonial capital. It’s 100 years now since New Delhi has celebrated itself as the capital of pre and post independence era. It was thoughtfully conceived as a tabula rasa based on the utopian idea of Ebenzer Howard’s Garden city concept (1898). A mark of establishment, a point of arrival for the British Power to build a new city near the ancient city of Old Dilli which transcended into a new language of urban design and architecture in India. The nature of architecture had to transform. The British missed out on social and economic factors that one can easily identify and see in the by lanes of Old Dilli. The experiential dimension of a specific place, interpersonal public spaces cultivating culture and exchange; the human scale of the interlocking streets, the blushing everyday life ren-dered over a neutral urban landscape; a sample of Indian city life. NExT investigates within the architectural domain, the genetic code of the urban block set in Lutyens’ New Delhi that can infuse the potential nature of agrarian India as an answer to Indian agro-urban life.

The shape of building offers shade to the internal court to encourage its maximum usage in hot sum-mer months.

Removal of large mass from the block enhances air flow and visual permeability. The excavation of mass for the internal street streamlines the wind coming from south west direction into the building and large voids help its circulation and natural ventilation.

During the winter months, through the exca-vation of the main volume, the interior spaces receive light and heat necessary for both farm and living areas.

The softscaped farm at the lower and the roof level regulates the temperature , and the internal gardens, green roofs and farms generates a micro climate of the building essentially complementing living in a farm unlike the hardscaped-city outside its boundary.

New School Building

Design TeamSilvano Buzzi & Associati srl

Project LocationBerlingo, Brescia, Italy

Year2010

The site offered by the local administration was surrounded by a belt of poplar trees. The idea was to involve the existing nature within the solid architecture. The strategy was to sculpt the ground in two different direc-tions. The first one is vertical and it allows the creation of a wide courtyard while the second one is horizontal and houses arcades and spaces connect-ing the main units. Four sleeves surround the central garden-court and are composed of two buildings comprising all school offices, the home room and other two blocks completing the whole structure which consists in a quadrilateral. The choice of developing the project around a central open space gives to the school a focal point as well as a symbolic centre around which a students’ life evolves.

The brief of the design competition clearly stated the need of a coherent and a well integrated intervention within the northern area, where all the school complexes are located. This entire school district had to be rethought and planned with redesign of open spaces with pedestrian and bicycle trails, parking areas and other programs like auditorium, sports fields and a build-ing for general services (media center, library, cafeteria, offices).

The foyer of the 750 seater auditorium grows in height as a large fireplace chimney and projects two volumes outside that function as cafes. The northern side faces the lake and creates a mass reflection on the water. The outside box constructed with printed panels gives an impression of a forest.

The service building has been designed on the same module of the auditorium, behind a unique facade. It houses two inde-pendent functions separated by a central staircase: one is the ‘space restaurant’ and the other side is allocated to teaching and related functions. The building is more transparent so as to let more light in, with use of partially recessed windows.

Located on the hills facing Lake Garda, the site is blessed with a great view and an intriguing landscape. Governed by strict environmental legislation, the program brief included an hotel, a restaurant and a winery which needed to be integrated with the scenic natural setting and the existing context.The idea was to work with the contours so that intervention is subtle and not perceived in its entirety. Typological features were identified and new architectural interpretation were investigated.

06 Offices & parkings

Project LocationBrescia, Italy

Year2009

Design TeamStudio Architetto Gaetano Bertolazzi

The projects involves the restoration of an old building along with construc-tion of a new underground parking in Piazzale Cremona. The restoration work was focused on a building dating XIX century proposed to be reused as an office building. The plot was long and narrow and the first aspect of interven-tion was to create a visually permeable unique facade facing the piazza. The second aspect was to use its basement for parking revealing the medieval walls and redesigning the public garden. This becomes the guideline as well as the strength of the project. The area is historically important. Porta San Alessandro was built in 1249 and is part of the broader project of fortifica-tions running along the highway of Brescia (second circle of ancient walls).

The project intervention stressed upon the importance of the ancient wall yet providing new parking areas as required by the municipality. The strategy was to integrate the two. The ramp for the parking follows the wall profile and allows the user to discover the different layers on his way underground. The system also gives a strong identity to the garden, a void which makes the wall visually part of the external space.

GROUP1APIACENZA CLOSED CITY

PO RIVER

HIGHWAY

PIACENZA

The concept of limit in the last decades has been transcended by the concept of link and connection, both at the scale urban and architecture. Piacenza, a roman foundation city, despite many others, has always “clashed” against Po‘ river, and never crossed it. Detecting this fact does not mean to deny the fundamental role that the river has played for the development of the city, but only emphasizes that the two different identities have been distinctively separated and coexisted. The underlying concept was to strengthen this separation by building a physical boundary that divides the city interior from its exterior. A need for a new meaning to understand the city by digging into its historical identity. The urbanisation therefore never reaches the river but connects to the viaduct of the existing highway as a new wall. The design aims to seek a partnership between the city and the river through the sinous path of the highway connecting some important destinations of Piacenza, the east to the west, the urbanised to the natural.

08 Brera museum

Design TeamMarco MerigoOmid Vernoos

Project LocationMilan, Italy

Year2009

The central courtyard is the strategic area to all the connections of the com-plex. The primary connection and most frequented by the public is that be-tween the ground and underground floors. The art of Mondrian and the Neo-plasticism have a suggestive reference since they have reduced art to the essentials: four different types of platforms that allow the passage of people through them. Similarly, a vertical connection box is created to access all the floors, thereby making this space a central hub of the entire complex.

The project brief aimed at provision of the a functional layout for the complex of Brera in Milan. It focuses on renovating the monumental complex as an exposition space. The strategic location of the complex in the nucleus of Milan and its historic importance as a cultural quarter, attracts various artists and tourist in the city. The intervention was structured in two phases: the first is to identify and outline an integrated urban and architectural solution in coherence with the functional organisation and governance mechanism for the complex. The second phase focused on evaluation of the applied solution considering the practical aspects such as mobility, structure and feasibility of the project. This intervention proposes a multi functional exposition space made highly permeable and porous to the city and its users. The project has three main components: the central court, the painting gallery and the exterior spaces.

CENTRAL COURT

PAINT GALLERYOne of the major elements of a museum is the path and how a visitor pass-es through it. Presently, with gained importance of the Pinacoteca (paint gallery) high flux of visitors enter to view the plethora of artworks housed within. However its viewing path is still classical and traditional projecting the problem of difficulty of viewing caused by the ‘path length’ and/or ‘personal interest‘ of visitors to prioritize artworks. Therefore this “space of exposition” needs to be rethought so as to become more inclusive to differetnt types of visitors.

The exterior functions are designed especially for city users. The main com-ponents which are located outside of the building are Sculpture Garden, Pergola and the Literary Café. The location of the pergola clearly defines a perceivable path from which the main exterior components follow and con-nects Strettone and Via Brera, thereby making the insert at urban scale more fluid and permeable. At the center of this path lies a literary cafe which is annexed to the main complex and acts as a secondary connection. The cafe offers a functional comfortable and attractive space useful and accessible to the building by users and passer-bys.

The lot assigned (18m x 5m) is into the last major urban expansion in Am-sterdam, a piece of land along the sea. The project brief was to design a resi-dence for four architecture students underlying certain architectural param-eters. After an assessment of the area allocation, functional displacement was achieved by subdividing the lot into two parts (2.5 m each) with a fully glazed interior wall transversing through to maximize the amount of natural light and expand the perceivable space to give an illusion of a bigger area.

Each floor was programmed with independent bedroom and a bathroom. At the ground level there is the kitchen cum living room, outdoor space for a close visual rela-tionship with the sea and a maximised supply of daylight throughout the day.

The bedrooms are located on the top two floors over-looking the street or the river on one side and the central open space for visual continuity on the other.

An integrated area for the kitchen, living room and study to host a unique informal environment with clients, friends overlooking the river. The office was located in a mezzanne floor overlooking the living space, now double hieght, mantaining the visual proximity and permeability with the river through large windows.
