Sticks and Stones, an Intervention

David Chipperfield . + Neue Nationalgalerie . photos: David von Becker

Using 144 imposing tree trunks, British architect David Chipperfield (b. in 1953) transforms the open glass hall of the museum into a densely filled hall of columns for a three-month period. The installation Sticks and Stones engages with the architecture of the Neue Nationalgalerie and simultaneously serves as a prologue to the upcoming overall renovation of the museum that David Chipperfield Architects will undertake starting in 2015.

Trying to answer to the living issues of the contemporary cities, where adaptability seems to be one of the strongest reactions to the phenomena of scattered cities and outskirts uncontrolled urbanisation, Cronotopia claims to be a profound reflection on the relationship between the traces of the urban forms and the need of an architectural programme able to be adapted to various urban scenarios.

En ocasiones la materia con la que trabaja el arquitecto es la memoria de las cosas que encuentra.
No es difícil remitirse a actuaciones donde se aplican ciertas lógicas relacionadas con la memoria de los lugares u objetos, normalmente asociadas a la noción de patrimonio y casi siempre hablando en torno a la ciudad y sus cambios a lo largo del tiempo. Como por ejemplo, los trabajos en edificios públicos tras una catástrofe o el tratamiento de vacíos urbanos consolidados.

Desde siempre, la historia se ha interesado por imaginar cómo habría sido la manifestación primigenia de la arquitectura. Esta búsqueda frecuentemente se centró en la idea de protección para las personas y se resumió en la acción física de “cubrir” un espacio. Desde hace algunas décadas, otros ingredientes menos físicos han venido a dar carta de naturaleza arquitectónica a otras acciones como calentar, iluminar, acumular información o convocar a las personas.

The architects received instructions to follow guidelines that include the directive to use concrete as a primary material (over a surface area of 250 m2 per each house). The dialogue between the individual projects is most important, considering the harmony of the whole and the relationship Ochoquebradas geographic attributes.

Rødovre SkyVillage . Copenhagen

ADEPT . MVRDV

The demand for a new tower in Rødovre, the periphery of Copenhagen, raises the issue of what kind of tower should be added to the skyline of the capital. Should it be a sphere, a spire, a cube? And is it only form that counts? Can we imagine a tower that is more than merely form-driven? What content can be given to such a tower? Can it be critical and improve the somewhat commercial and hollow architectural icon of the previous decade?

Located in a previously semi-industrial area of East London which is now dense and fragmented in character, the site occupies a piece of derelict land on a street of light industrial buildings and large pre-war housing blocks. The project proposes a form that is ambiguous, in that it can be read both as an urban house and a simple industrial shed. The concept was generated by the complex requirements of the brief with four different programmes (two apartments, a studio for an artist and space for a therapy practice), by the extraordinary site footprint (4.5×20m) and planning constraints on massing and sightlines.

Se trata de una casa a la que le gustaría estar más pegada en el suelo. Una casa que busca sus raíces de forma contundente, casi excesiva, y se muestra así. Radicalmente desprovista de cualquier acto que pueda entorpecer su verdadero interés: los pies en el suelo y la cubierta en el cielo. La estructura de hormigón, sus pantallas, acaban definiendo el espacio casi prematuramente; y la cerámica de la cubierta recoge los reflejos del sol y las nubes. En esta casa, el espacio doméstico queda entre la estructura y el paisaje.

A heterogenic mix of buildings that vary significantly in age, use, architectural quality, as well as scale and proportion surround it. Across the road lays Roosevelt Park, a long and narrow stretch of green that is gaining back its recreational use.

Nos gustaría creer que hay algo erróneo en la copia, algo dañino que la hace inadmisible siempre. Algo lesivo, corrupto, que usurpa y falsea la realidad. Y eso nos empuja a considerarla, en cierto modo como un objeto, algo que se toca, se palpa, se observa, está ante nosotros en todo momento, algo que tiene cuerpo y a lo que, por tanto, podemos dirigir nuestro odio y señalar con el dedo y considerar fallido. Un ente autónomo.

In Santiago, buildings that want to look “contemporary” have glass facades, but due to the local weather the pay-off is a huge green house effect. This building had to respond to the client’s expectation of having an innovation center with a “contemporary look”. This uncritical search for contemporariness has populated Santiago with glass towers that due to the desert climatic local condition have serious greenhouse effect in interiors.

The municipality of Borsele in the Dutch province of Zeeland was founded in 1970 by the merging of 13 villages. Heinkenszand was assigned centre of this newly formed administrative unit and a new town hall was built for the 25.000 inhabitants. More then 30 years after the opening, the building was in need of rehabilitation. On the one hand, the façade as well as the roof weren’t fully waterproof anymore. Furthermore, the building had to undergo an asbestos abatement to adapt to modern building standards.
