Runner-up . Estudio Lunar

The current situation of Gjilan is not the result of a controlled planning, it has been the consequence of multiple historical and, also recent, events that induced to the emergence of urban figures that were answering to the immediate needs but not responding to a planning with an idea of future for the city. Wars, political events, earthquakes, economic crisis … have left in Gjilan several scars and erroneous situations that now it’s time to be corrected.

Carmody Groarke . + Malcolm Reading

Our design proposes a pavilion as a ‘solitaire’ - a building which will be viewed and approached from all sides. As such it is a building without a front or a back, but is presented equally well from every direction. Its unique identity has emerged from a careful examination of the pavilion’s context and also its purpose.

En el futur, l’espai formarà part d’un passeig que ha d’unir el centre històric de la ciutat amb el parc del riu Cardener. L’actuació pretén assegurar aquesta continuïtat del futur passeig sense malmetre el caràcter més recollit d’un jardí.

Allianz Headquarters . Zürich


Wiel Arets Architects . photos: © Jan Bitter . + baunetz

The Allianz Headquarters is a hybrid-office and the pinnacle of a master planned mixed-use district on the edge of Zürich’s city center. Comprised of a 20-story tower and a 5-story annex, these two components are externally linked by a series of four bridges, and vertically linked by numerous interior voids and staircases; as such, the Allianz Headquarters can be experienced as horizontal and vertical landscape of neighborhoods. Fluidly connected to the city center by a multitude of public transportation options, the building encourages the blossoming of twenty-first century office culture, which demands flexibility in space and its use, via its hyper-hybrid programming that amplifies ‘interiority’.

A small budget and very restricted regulations led us to take this commission as an opportunity to explore the potential of mobile mechanisms in a small domestic program.
The site, located on the way to Santiago in a small village called “Carrion de los Condes,” is near a path were hundreds of pilgrims pass every day. Beyond the boundaries of the urban tissue, the site is catalogue as an agricultural zone, where only small constructions with less that 30 m2 are allowed to be built.

Ninguno de ellos es paralelo a su opuesto. El techo y una de las paredes están inclinados. Esta inclinación fuerza la fuga hacia una puerta situada al final del corredor.

La vocación de centralidad que Cerdá atribuyó a la Plaza de las Glòries sigue siendo un tema pendiente. Las sucesivas intervenciones que se han realizado – con la intención de resolver los aspectos de conectividad -han consolidado este espacio como una especie de paréntesis urbano. Habría ahora recuperar la voluntad de configurarlo como auténtico espacio de relación y actividad.

If It was possible to make a building with such a method how something was merely scattered, I thought it was a dreamlike building. And, as for this method, surprisingly precision planning is possible. As opposed to the complicated program called for, moving a box delicately, the plan can be flexibly packed just because it is random.
