Otaniemi Campus / 2016
We live in a prefabricated house with an attached winter garden and an allotment that we share with a few neighbours. All of its components are recyclable. Heating is provided by a local biomass plant that uses the waste of the mountain. The water is heated using solar energy. We recuperate the waste water and we have a plan of waste treatment that forms part of our way of being. Our terraces and balconies are productive. You won’t see cars in the neighbourhood. They are parked in a garage accessible from the ring road. All the free area between houses is for leisure, playing and encounters. We don’t have sidewalks, but we do have small paths that you can walk on. From the south facing terrace you can’t see the ring road but a big park that extends into the city. My friends living in the houses in the north have a special light inside and a view over the terraced vineyards that improve the water quality. Beyond that Collserolla serves us as the grand garden of our neighbourhood.

This is a unique opportunity to develop a contemporary concept of a museum with a transcendental urban role and a historic responsibility as a cohesive element of the community, not only of Oslo but of the entire nation. Its ascending shape connects the public space covered by the lobby that houses recreational, commercial, cultural and restoration uses, with the terraces/observatory/club of the rooftop, offering in parallel the discovery of the work of Edvard Munch and the different historical strata of the city of Oslo. This gesture of conceiving the communication system as a public space/ascending viewpoint is the essence of the heterodox character involved in developing a vertical museum. But there is more on this journey: the public discovers other types of rooms, dining areas, administrative units, the library or the educational center that speak of a programmatic complexity that surpasses the conventional idea of the museum as a set of rooms that are visited and a series of invisible rooms from which the institution is supposed to be managed. The facades, finished in perforated aluminum with different degrees of transparency, offer an enigmatic and evanescent perception of the building that reacts to the mild stimuli of the Oslo climate, offering very different images depending on the moment. The building responds to the requirements involved in the energy use and environmental sensitivity demanded by the Norwegian public through a holistic conception in which structure, facilities and construction operate collaboratively under the Passive House concept that is based on aspirations such as lightness, sustainability, recyclability and maintenance. An implementation that seeks to present Norway as a country focused on experimentation and innovation has allowed the construction process to be an event in itself. The new Munch Museum will be a dynamic arts center, with different audiences (experts, schoolchildren, tourists, art lovers) that are expected to come regularly, attracted by a program with a variety of formats."

This limitation, together with the demands of efficiency and simplicity that we want to impose on ourselves, represent a challenge for the development of a project with some added value. To this end, we look for the hidden powers of a proposal that is pragmatic but sensitive to slight external stimuli. We start by laying out a typical floor of 12 homes. We need to sacrifice the minimum surface area in communications, so we chose to insert a single central core equipped with two interlocking “scissors” type staircases, two lifts and two installation cores. We will therefore have a single public entrance and a single centralization of connections on the ground floor that will affect the cleanliness of the commercial space and the underground parking. Regarding the dwellings, all the living rooms and bedrooms are exterior, while accesses, kitchens and bathrooms enter onto hallways that are shared by every three dwellings. From this scheme that solidifies the available volume, subtraction operations are carried out that allow a new morphology to be sculpted, generating generous collective and individual terraces and facilitating cross ventilation, diagonal views and lightening the original density, that orient the building towards its most attractive landscapes. The exterior facades are repetitive and closed by means of an external ventilated industrial panel sheet to achieve an unequivocal and monumental image of the volume fortunately surrounded by public space.

The project develops the EcoCité concept following a well-settled urban scheme of a certain density in which the streets and green collective patios are equilibrated resulting in a massing in which the number of floors is reduced and the distances between them are increased in height so that all apartments benefit from long views, sunsets and sea breezes. Our project focuses on this ascending shape of the prism section and the diverse depths of the facades that create an essential element of the architectural approach: the loggias with which each living unit establishes a transitional space between the interior and the exterior. With this, we want living in EuroMed to offer the added value producing a feeling of belonging to an urban enclave in which the succession: bustling street life - leafy gardens - intimate loggia - collective rooftop terrace – is the great architectural argument for making the act of living here a contemporary experience, deeply involved in urban culture and environmental sensitivity at the same time. As a social experiment, the project proposes the coexistence of social housing and other free-market housing. This strategy, which already implemented in other residential projects by estudio Herreros, constitutes a manifesto against the differences invented by the prejudices that hinder the opportunities that many need. But the most important thing is how much these objectives are achieved with design decisions such as the profusion of gardens and collective terraces with recreational and agricultural programs that encourage the meeting of children and adults; and a system of accesses that stage the belonging of the complex to the contemporary urban culture through a materiality that suggests that the city enters the buildings. As a constructive experiment, it should be noted the use of an industrial materiality of elementary technical systems. The key piece of this approach is the implementation of a façade of light panels easy to manipulate by the users and generating a sequence of intermediate spaces that form a sort of parallel open-air housing that Covid-19 has put in value in an unexpected way. The loggias + façade ensemble turns each dwelling into a device for negotiating the meteorological conditions typical of Mediterranean cities that oscillate from mild to stormy weather including the strong mistral winds demanding protection and lending the project takes its name, giving it an essential value in the construction of the urban landscape and the local culture of Marseille."

The first receives the city on the ground floor with the bank offices on which the six-story parking lot is built. The remaining three are prisms of different dimensions that are set back from the previous one, freeing up terraces that share the orientations and views over the sea and the Historic center. Each prism can be read as a small canonical office building that shares its high-rise lobby with some use shared use by all tenants: a restaurant, a gym, a leisure and meeting club, a nursery and a dining room. At the top, a representative lounge is visible from the entire city. The envelope is finished with a curtain wall introduced with different tonalities and transparencies that introduce a random and vibrant factor in the reading. From the exterior, the play between translucency and opacity of the modules —at night it is guessed that all the elements have some degree of transparency— generates a scalar ambiguity that prevents the identification of the floor as no obvious horizontal line of the envelope coincides. From the interior, the pixelated landscape blurs and recomposes the geographies of each orientation, promoting the coexistence of its most banal ingredients built by real estate ambition, the natural elements —the sea, the mangroves, the hills— and the archaeological remains that explain the birth of the city and the transoceanic culture."

The museum and its programing aim to raise awareness of the value of the wetlands, both as a habitat for plants and animals, and as an important natural resource for humans. Located on the riverbank of the Glomma river, the architecture of the new Museum assumes the slow pace of the river stream and the operation with the wood logs. With a mix of raw and a welcoming, warmth and detail, the buildings naturally fit into its context while creating a place where you can meet the past and the future, an architecture of affection and regard for one of the earth most delicate eco systems: the wetlands. We propose to fragment and distribute the program in different separate volumes maintaining a respectful and coherent relation of its parts within the whole without disturbing the scale of the context. All parts are connected through the low NEXUS building, that enables the visitors to discover the confluence of city, forest, wetland, agriculture and the rivers at different levels through a series of outdoor terraces, both for the visitors and the museum staff.

The task has two essential complementary components: the creation of a work culture associated with the company's mission and commitments, and the need to embody the image of an entity whose product has no physical presence. In the interior, the project undertakes the reorganization of the uses that are distributed in the operational zone, administrative zone and institutional zone by means of glass partitions of different degrees of opacity, colors and graphic treatments that generate a new artificial landscape for the workspace that induces a collective spirit of belonging and seeks both isolated concentration and encounters among the users. The facade is finished with a second skin consisting of 5mm-thick sheet-metal modules whose degree of perforation varies according to both the lighting needs for comfort and orientation and the need to dissipate energy from the sun’s radiation. The lacquered treatment of the panels in subtly different shades generates a reactive vibration when stimulated by the atmospheric changes and especially the sunsets that occur in this open area in the southeast of Madrid. The space between the two skins forms a route of ventilation, maintenance and safety that updates the building to its new needs. But without a doubt, the most significant achievement refers to the building's capacity to become an image of the company's modernity and technological ambition. Indeed, this building, located in an uncertain, invisible and inaccessible place, has become the most published image of the company, providing the firm for the first time with a physical representation of an activity that is diluted in the atmosphere."

With this commitment, the project aims to build an enclave unique among its kind, capable of introducing a revision of the model of large urban receptacle committed to the city and to the political, technical and sustainable concerns of the present. To accomplish this, the program is stacked vertically in search of a presence at the urban scale, which is offset by freeing up the ground level, which becomes a public space. The heterodox high-rise construction of a normally horizontal program permits a special three-dimensional richness when deploying the program in a spiral sequence of halls, meeting places and isotropic rooms of 40 to 4,000 m2 that is interwoven with another ascending chain, this one invisible, of logistical movements, warehouses and kitchens, which permanently adapts the spaces to a diversity of uses that include banquets, fairs, sports competitions, shows... and conventions. Likewise, the compression of the floors that derives from the verticality makes it possible to provide natural lighting in all the halls and to deploy a system of natural ventilation through the slabs and the great atrium-central plaza that eliminates the installation of the inevitable air conditioning, thereby reinforcing the environmental commitment of the building that takes up the fight against climate change. In this scheme, the facade is the place of all encounters: that of the users with the city from the four observatories that overlook the same number of ecologies that explain the geography of Bogotá: hills, historical center, modern city and savanna; the encounter of the interior climate with the exterior by means of the gills of automatic climatisation that regulate the breathing of the spaces; the encounter of a solid building tradition with the most advanced glass technology and its treatments; and, finally, the encounter of the building with its urban context, especially at dusk, converted into a new topographical accident for the orientation of the navigators of the city."

In this dialogue between the visitors and the art, the moments of contact with the building play a crucial role: crossing the threshold, buying a ticket, leaving a coat in the cloakroom, receiving information or having a drink in its informal cafeteria.

The intention is to create a museum that supports a wide range of audiences, formats and events, deploying an architecture that assigns the main role to art and people, shows a distinctive image while avoiding sophisticated technological resources, establishes a dialogue by contrast between the two different periods represented by the Robledo Workshop and the new building-, makes the MAMM a symbol of the new era Medellin is striving to consolidate, clings to the city… But above all, an architecture that understands that –nowadays- a museum must also be an awareness center, not only art-wise but also in terms of the present concerns. Therefore, we aim to achieve en exemplary performance in environmental sensitivity, miscegenation, experimentation and any action which contributes to blurring the boundaries between people and disciplines. The museum stacks six double-height levels, piercing them with a core, generating three different spaces per plan. The order and purpose of each level, as well as its programmatic distribution, is completely free. What is shown here is just a preliminary approximation to the required program and a demonstration of the proposed system’s versatility.

The idea was to build a simple manifesto of contemporary architecture, a hut for everyone, open and friendly. The trees that welcomed us are now part of the design. The ground plan is also part of the project in order to turn it into a neutral frame ready to host daily activities. We pave it with just a single material, but in different colours and textures. Some of its pieces emerge from the ground, encouraging actions such as sitting, lying, meeting or connecting, simulating an array of benches, tables or urban altars. All that remains is to conquer the air, and we do so by means of a large weightless piece that illuminates the space while drawing the invisible contour of the space liberated by the trees. Paving and providing energy are the actions that underpin the construction of the contemporary hut.

Here architecture plays an essential role in the construction of space, while at the same time attempting to vanish in support of the works on display. In order to achieve this effect, much work has been done on the ideal proportions that make each room so balanced that at the same time as it constructs and delimits the space to make it straightforward and comprehensible, it is imperceptible to the viewer, who turns all his attention to the object of the visit. This process of making the architecture disappear has generated a huge amount of work to minimise any physical accident of the surfaces and to centre the architectural resources in the construction of the walls, the floor and the ceiling. The design stimulates a conversation about the traditional idea of the flexible museum as an open-space industrial plan, remembering that, without underestimating that model, a set of permanent, linked rooms can be an arrangement open to a great diversity of formats as well."

A dry-constructed outer wall stimulates an open and voluntary dialogue with the different aspects of the local climate. Seeing, illuminating, ventilating or heating are various operations associated with two independent systems of openings and shutters that imbue the northern and southern faces with an ambiguous and enigmatic character. The interior reproduces the original and primitive scheme of three compartments (for animals, shepherds and forage) and splits it facing two directions: North (kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) and South (dining room, living room and study). Each compartment contains one single major object (table, sofa, writing desk, bath, bed and cooker) which serves to define each space and its use. It serves as reference for an exterior family which forms an exterior dwelling (dining space, bench, table, shower, hammock and barbeque). The construction stands on a small rocky hillock from which there is a panoramic view of the valley, the mountains and the town of Artá built on another nearby watchtower, constituting a privileged observatory of sunrises, sunsets and storms.

In a context where landscaping and institutional aspects have a great importance it seems reasonable to explore the possibilities that opens a vertical organization of the program stacking the different libraries – adult reading room, periodical room, media room and infant library. Doing so not only generates functional benefits like minimizing cores and walking distances, simplifying construction and creating diaphanous floors but also in symbolic terms as an emerging piece and public statement which serves as an urban catalyst for collective activities in Usera giving it a centre and urbanistic sense. It links the surrounding parks resolving the different levels creating new green and paved areas. The project takes advantage of the existing urban context giving it a major unity at the same time. High ceilings and wallpaper designed by Peter Halley create an atmosphere of penumbra, silent and concentrated, which communicates with the outside via isolated openings that select fragments of both close and distant landscapes.

It is not conceived as a refuge to escape the city but as a fragment of the daily home moved to the countryside. That's why it is not necessary to break it, to build a basement, to plant a garden, to alter nature with decorative species, or to pervert the composition of the soil and its runoff. In fact, the structure hardly touches the surface except for a few metallic feet that do not require foundations to rest on the original granite. This conceptual lightness is carried to its ultimate consequences by conceiving this minimal construction as a prototype of energy-independent industrialised housing. All construction systems are dry. Complete units are manufactured in the workshop with all the interior finishes of the maximum size that conventional transport allows. Only the last layer of the facade and the roof are attached in situ to ensure continuity, overlap and waterproofing of the joints. Interior partitions, storage and fixed furniture are incorporated into the vertical walls that house installations of high technical quality that permit remote control. The resulting ensemble offers quality, control over the execution time, maintenance plans and growth options far superior to traditional construction. A large terrace extends and orientates the house towards the landscape, giving it value through the views, the lightness of the installation and the deliberate industrial appearance of the object that seeks an integration more contrasted than mimetic, as a gesture of a contemporary appreciation of nature."
