1 Sea Passenger Terminal in Tangier The Tanger Med is a passengers harbour, dimensioned for trafic increasing up to 10 million passengers/year by 2020. It is inside a general harbour masterplan for the first harbour of the mediteranean area, containing equipments and amenities for all categories of passengers and trafic. The project is founded on the very rich and strong economic and cultural interactivity linking both sides of the Street of Gilbraltar and is the occasion to assert and experiment a new and uncomplexed form of relationship between them, translated in an ultramodern terminal. The project proposes to turn the symbolic value of its subject and site into a strong but friendly architecture, concerned by its environment as well as by the confort of its different categories of users. The project has to deal with powerfull natural elements : sea, wind, sun ; and is inserted in a site that is radical both for the bold natural beauty of its surroundings as for the violent presence of human genius ; a harbour gained on the sea and the mountains. Therefore the architectural project is gentle : expressing in its shape the complex flux of travellers, cars, trucks and trains, protecting by its curves the migration movements from the elements. Curves of the main terminal, offering a bright and efficient shelter for queeing, check in and control ; curves of the boarding lounge, detached from the former to shorten distances and enhaunce psychological confort ; curves of the passerelles, linking amenities and ships, allowing a total protected and horizontal passengers parcours in confortable conditions. The choice of construction materials is guided by environment constraints : sea atmosphere obliges to concrete construction. Then, the building process, based on precise geometrical definition, allows generalization of precasting on site. Waterproof is realized with high resistant concrete topping, combining local craftmanships know-how and technology transfer. The terminal and boarding lounge are conceived with a double shell, allowing dynamic insulation through fresh air circulation between the outer concrete shell and the inner plaster shell. The vast parking areas easily allow to install geothermic pipes. These two elements combined delete needs for airconditioning, assuring larger part of climate inside the building by passive ressources. Complementary energy is partly produced by the wind through equipments installed for the needs of the harbour area. The clear interior spaces limit articial lighting. The exterior lighting deals with the presence of bird migration : uplights are strictly avoided ; the different areas are enlightened in colours choosen in the spectrum of sun dawn ; light is always close to the ground, the different colours allow easy identification of each area. 2 Solar Tube 2005 Record Houses Award for Excellence in Design (Architectural Record, USA)2001 The Reiners Foundation Award for Private House (Deutschland)Inspiration for the project was provided by a humble tubular skylight, a device that channels sunlight indoors by means of a reflective pipe, rooftop collector and diffuser. The idea was to use the entire house as a solar collector which needs only little heating, cooling or electric illumination. This was the starting point, the root which defined issues of form, structure and choice of materials. Solar Tube is organised around a fully glazed atrium that accommodates the vertical circulation, connecting all five levels. The entry from the street which happens to be at the same level as the roof terrace is to be reached via a ramped bridge directly leading into the living room. Theres also a second way to enter the house by walking over a staircase along the boundary to the other end of the house ten metres below street level. A solar tube in general is a small light-and-heat captor which is usually installed on the roofs of houses. In this case, the entire house serves as a collector, opening to light-and-heat on all sides. ntegrated atrium. As for the glass tube that forms the uppermost level, it helps cut heating costs in winter. Apart from its energy-saving virtues, glass also offers intimacy with the surrounding nature. As the faade is nearly entirely glazed the boundaries between indoors and out are disappearing an especially pleasant experience during summer, when a leafy tree canopy practically nestles the house among its branches. Therefore one gets the feeling of living in a tree-house. Its a symbiosis between nature and architecture a concept of openness and transparency.

Though the contributed budget is so limited {$30,000} that I aim at a MUKWANO HOME, the space where the orphans can create their community like a family, by using domestic low-techniques{brick wall and wooden roof structure}. The orphans also join the construction to learn the way to build it. To the great deal of land of 9 ha without any infrastructure in the project, I found myself planning the required rooms, 2 big bedrooms, 3 lecture rooms, 2 offices and a restroom by avoiding such a way as modern zoning which works well in an urban situation. I rather consider that the architecture should be divided into 8 primitive huts and mixed up to a village-like shape as much as possible while they are considered to be functionally related with each other. I respect the fact that the children gather and have classes under a big tree, so the tree should be situated in the center of the new architecture. Then the 8 huts surround the tree and link with each other. The in-between spaces has canopies which connect the all huts together and create triangular outdoor spaces, so the court is pleat-like open space with the triangular spaces in the plan. The canopies also can make shadow on the court and trigger the activity of the children. They can run, play and work there comfortably even under the strong sunlight in Uganda. The center court has a well and the roof has solar panels producing electricity, so that the children will be able to stand their own feet here with their farming. In the future, as the children grow, they extend this orphanage with a lot of huts and it will become MUKWANO VILLAGE. I expect that this architecture should be a focal point of the village.5 Living Wall, Amman`Living Wall` is a 150,000 sq m mixed-use complex at the heart of Amman, currently under construction and close to the new Al-Abdali city centre. The site, an extraordinary carved-out rock shelf, its geology and history have been the inspiration for the schemes unique concept. Set against a sheer 30m backdrop, the project presents physical challenges that are not unlike those faced at ancient Jordanian sites such as Petra, where the buildings were carved out of the rock itself. A rough-hewn podium has been inserted with strong, vertical cuts into a line of natural rock. Grouped together on this podium will be a set of six inter-connected, sculpted towers. They include a boutique hotel, a variety of residential units, and offices. The podium on which they sit contains shopping and leisure activities. The deep spaces between the towers house a variety of sheltered public spaces, including a sunken amphitheatre and a large, sheltered piazza. The towers have double-skin faades with screens whose horizontal lines again recall delicate rock strata. The screens function is to stimulate air circulation and to provide shading, and these become denser where the potential heat gain is greater. The spaces behind the screens provide balconies and terraces where people can enjoy outdoor space thus helping to animate the complex as a `Living Wall`. With transparency both at the higher levels and at the base of the towers, views across the city are unimpeded; there is a strong sense of place and, with so much permeability and connectivity, both laterally and vertically, the scheme also creates a vivid sense of community.6 casa Silvia7 Augmented skin As world cities grow ever larger, green areas are scarce due to the colossal buildings erected on them. The Museum of Modern Art takes an approach that provides green space in a dense urban environment while minimizing the dependence of artificial light. The green surface is elevated off the street level, creating a void to house the main exhibition spaces. The Museums roof filters light into the layers of galleries below through its perforated canvas skin which functions much like a rainforest canopy, essentially a raised skin.8 EGADE BUSSINES ADMINISTRATION GRADUATE SCHOOL Located in a 4 acre parcel, off-site the ITESM Campus, the EGADE School pretends to be the leading Graduate Business School of the Americas. In order to attract the best students of Latin America as well as executives of leading International Corporations, the school`s objective will be to build an icon structure with an innovative program. In order for students and executives to interact, one of the primary goals shall be to create human and inviting spaces that will make both of them feel at home. The unique spiral shape responds to its predominant location within the site, as well as the school`s need to create a symbol. The access to the building is at the center of the spiral and through a 30` high atrium. Covered by a glass roof, the atrium will allow natural light into the different spaces. Legorreta + Legorreta has encouraged the owner to support the design of a green building.9 House_UcHouse Uc is a residence designed for a couple in their 30s and their daughter. It is located in the quiet residential area of Tokyo standing on a small and narrow site of irregular shape - a result of the recent trend of dividing property into smaller segments each time it is sold and bought due to inheritance issues and market availability. The site measures approximately 57 m2 in size: approximately 12 meters deep, 6 meters across where it faces the north road, and 2.7 meters across at the deepest end. The design for House Uc therefore needed to focus on the ideal form of an urban detached house within the constraints of the site itself as well as laws and regulations.The client felt that a residence was a form of self-exposure to the outer world. In order to live up to his expectations, House Uc was designed to imply the essence of the house within the urban context by bringing out the characteristics of the finishing material that was chosen together with the client. The concrete exterior walls were coated with lean-mix acrylic paint, resulting in a black mottled effect according to the difference in the degree of water absorption and smoothness of the surface. The zinc-coated steel sashes on the east side were dipped in phosphate to strengthen the zinc layer, and the difference in the amount of zinc coating on the sashes projected a black patchy effect. The mottled exterior walls and patterned sashes are the result of chance (nature) and display a certain beauty, in a sense similar to human beings people are attractive, pockmarks and all.10 Meditation House This is a project with very strong emotional implications. We had to understand the mood of the user, who at such this moment would not care very much for an aesthetical analisis of any place, but at the same time we wanted to create a space that can create a spritual mood, for this we refered to ancient buidings that were designed for this purpose, as the Egiptian Mastabas or some Mayan buildings in Palenque.A project of this nature must encourage introspection and peaceful visual harmony through a discrete use of materials and lighting. The construction is located in a residential area and being planned as an isolated construction from the sorroundings, an indoor illuminated yard was built. The building faade is completely covered by Grissal flamed granite.The building welcomes de visitor with a 64 wide and 30 high triangular shaped wooden door which leads to an access tunnel in the same shape, creating a solemn atmosphere as you enter. This darkening experience at the entrance ends when the hallway opens to a large, double height granite hall illuminated by the northern light coming from the indoor courtyard with a tall Dracaena at the center and a symbolical abstract sculpture by artist Saul Kaminer as the only artwork piece for decoration.No furniture was used inside this place,only a floating bench surrounding the room, that is made out of the same wood used in all the building. It also serves to hide all of the air conditioning, speakers and recesed lighting which adds a dramatical touch. This way the rooms shows no added ornament but the light and shades playing on the granite volumes.The ceiling is made of dark cumaru wood and floats without touching any wall and a skylight puts a highlight on this detail.11 Inada Hospital in Wakayama Inada hospital Obstetrics and gynecology ridge Since Inada-hospital was established fifty years ago, it has contributed to the community-based health care. This project is the extension plan of a building with a purpose of adapting to the upcoming aging society with declining birthrate. Inada hospital is in the southeastern outskirts of Wakayama City, is next to the station of the local line. The building site is long and narrow from the north to the south, has the distorted L-shaped configuration. The north side of the site adjoins the railroad track, the east adjoins the existent building, and an arc-shaped road that is narrow with a lot of traffic surrounds the west side. It is forecast to catch sunlight from the west strongly because the extension building necessarily has a long form in north and south. The extension building was arranged to adjoin the existent building, and set to be on the L-shaped site.

The external and internal scenery of this building change serially moment by moment in accordance with person`s every step, in accordance with the change in the season and the movement of the sun. The expressive sense would be born in the psyche of persons who live inside of and outside of the hospital through such experience. I designed the hospital, hoping that this hospital would be where people experience a plenty of joy of birth happily.12 Cellular Network City This project is aiming to redefine urbanism as a series of cellular space subdivisions and transitions. Like all the ancient and historical cities that emerged from their own spatial ordered qualities, and geometrical distributive hierarchies, am:Pm proposes a networked urbanism configured from cellular volumes, initially starting as a thick multiplicitous urban ground strata for the Worlds Fair Expo 2010.The landscape is interconnected with interior and exterior public spaces as well as cultural facilities and domestic spaces. Networking lines act as infrastructural connections between the distributed spatial pockets. Cellular organizations morphs from conventional aggregate spaces to extreme transformed ones, gradually transforming into an open space.Extreme moments of transformations act as experimental pavilions that transform into radical landscapes and public spaces, and therefore enduring the legacy of the expo, whereas private spaces maintain their conventional appearance and homogenous transformation.On both urban, building scale and material level, the cellular network organization acts as ground strata and spatial pockets organization, as well as porous occupiable sections, all seeking a coherent yet different oriented urban order, that spans across the two river banks into the two sides of the city, and thus over time influencing its formation. It is an order that has the capacity to organize differential interactivity, sectional movements, as well as diversity of scales, densities, heights, and programmatic mixities.The Expo 2010 landscape will start to be generated across both sides of the river banks, and the networked system of spatial cellular organizations and connections is proposed to extend and intensify across the site in the period intervals that follows, producing highly dense sliver organizations providing a horizontal view to the few emerged vertical organizations.13 MPREIS NIEDERNDORF The client asked for a "cool marketplace" - protected from sun and heat. Beside the village, in the midst of meadows, countryside, with a view to the mountains, forests and the wood stacks. Tree trunks, rid of the bark create gaps for a new meeting point on the outskirts. Planning - realisation: 2005 Location: Niederndorf Client: MPreis Job: Super Market Collaborators: Jrg Schneider Size of the order: 1.200.00 euro14 National Museum A history museum is the ultimate showcase of a nations life through centuries. Museums can build morale and shape opinions. They also often create a lasting input on the future. Following basic thoughts have gone into coming up with the design: It is of utmost importance for the building to be user friendly. This has been achieved by a regimented and well designed access to various activities and will be explained later in this report. The building should be cheerful and not drab. The form should be such that it is ageless. It engages and excites. At the same time it is conscious of the contours and its context and stands as an un-intrusive structure in the woods of Shakarparian. The flow inside the galleries is regulated yet informal and non-compartmental. It provides flexibility in display spaces that merge into each other. The inspiration for the flowing plan comes from the Rivers that flow through this land. Interior space in the display area although inherently interesting due to varying angles and vistas will be kept neat and uncluttered with straight lines and simple finishes. From inside the emphasis is on the display and not the architecture. The vast cross-section of history that it proposes to display makes it impractical for the building to reflect one era, even symbolically. So the reference for the form is borrowed not from one of the man-made periods in history but from the land itself. The jagged Potohar Plataue is what inspires the angular, tapering walls. Evoking visions of the first sights of the rising land mass as you come up the motorway near Kalar Kahar area and are encountered by sudden rock formations jutting out of the plains of Punjab. The use of various colored earthly toned bricks as exterior finish reflecting the soil strata that is a witness to thousands of years of history steeped in this part of the world.15 Cellular clay multifamily habitationAdobe constructions were widely-spread almost in all pre-Columbus civilizations, existed at the territories of Mexico, Central and Southern America. The project has been adapted to suit the specificity of the majority of nature-climatic conditions of Central Asia, including seismic dangerous.The conception coordinates with environmental-cosmic rhythms {60-years solar cycle, typical for cosmogony and the system of chronology of many Asian nations and less long solar-moon cycles}.Expressiveness of architecture-design decision, sharp-tempered spatial-composition, plastic and dyeing features consider cultural-historical tendencies of the:-evolution of the nomads mobile dwellings;-constructions of quasi-socialized representatives of the fauna beavers, termites, etc.-achievements of urbanistics of the pre-industrial age {reconstructed in the monumental architecture-historical complexes of Kazakhstan};-futuristic urbanistic designs.

Modularity, possibility to be modified by the inhabitants, mobility and autonomy of the engineering complex give the high level of transformability. By this high architectural-artistic value of the dwelling is also achieved. Large glazed surfaces, typical for modern international style are absent here. Adjacent territory is almost not damaged, because reduction of the vegetation and ample paving of the ground is not used.

Visual characteristic of air and light-pierced structure constantly changes due to multilevel landscape gardening, transformation of morphologic and decorative peculiarities of the residential cells and shades moving along their surface. Gradually humanistic-oriented nature-material-informational habitat of the dwelling residents is formed, they begin to feel patriotism towards the little homeland {the term home enlarges to the scope of dwellers community}.16 Coca-cola building The coca-cola building is an experimental project that explores the meeting of a digitally conceived environment and a technologically constructive approach. We were interested in thinking how to build a digitally conceived and shaped space; and in the process, conceptualizing and making possible the construction. The project is directly linked to a series of architectural experimentations focused on the use of non-traditional building materials. The objects, possibly appropriate to the specific character of the proposal, are not necessarily utilized in a commonplace method of construction technique. The items have often been taken out of environments not related to architecture. In the case of the coca-cola building an operation of displacement, pushed to the paradox, removes and the changes the original function of common glass bottles. It is with this adjusted focal point that we see them transformed into building material. The bottles are used as a paradox in order to re-think the architectural process through a conceptual and practical operation. It was our decision to use a non traditional and apparently nave technology. In this way it would be possible for us to investigate the problem starting from an unusual point of view and to reconnect, through a low tech strategy, an abstracted process of design to reality. On the other hand it was our intention to shake up the traditional methods of approaching technology. We believed that high technology and very simple technology could interact in the process of understanding and producing architecture. We also believed that a specific kind of architecture, influenced by the use of computer technologies and actual cultural sensitivity, would lead to a different approach to the project. Technically speaking, the glass bottles represented a good solution to the problem of building a non-regular continuum surface through a micro-modulation method. The use of the bottles was furthermore appropriate in order to allow light to enter the building, and for the reflective and transparent characteristics of the particular shaped glass. The building is a dome coated by classic glass coca-cola bottles leaning on a light steel structure and placed on two different insulated layers; it is a 250 feet long by 100 feet large volume and requires the use of approximately 2200 bottles to cover the entire surface. A particular system of anchorage is studied in order to simplify the montage of the pieces and to allow different angles and inclinations of the surface. The interior of the building, conceived as an open space, is thought as a promotional-history telling environment, organized as a visually changing scene, perhaps with the use of videos and other media. The main entrance of the building is built with semi-transparent plastic panels and glass enclosures; the rear of the building is sealed by a glass surface. The shape of the building is slightly deformed by scaling and rotating a sequence of similar sections. In this way it is not a regular volume, but a monolithic and spatially concentrated space; an idea of conceptual and volumetric synthesis is proposed in order to clarify the concepts we are interested in. The coca-cola building is not thought in a precise location; it is leaning on a metal platform and it is intended as an installation. This building is in some ways a cultural and architectural provocation meant to propose suggestions and to support a free and not conventional way of thinking. After some contacts with the coca-cola administration the project was not built.17 Arezzo Courthouse Near the Medicis Fortress, inside an historical park, the new building houses the main courtrooms and the Hall of Justice President headquarter and is linked to a neoclassical building, once a large hospital, to be restored and used for offices and archives.The design of the New Wing, symbolises its environment: the rich vegetation of the park and the citys medieval structure, which was protected by a belt of conch walls on one side and, on the other, open to the squares, gardens and the territory.Also the New Wing is enclosed on the North side by a coved wall of black granite slabs whose surface is flamed, as to acquire a very elegant matted dark-grey tone. To the South, an undulating transparent sunscreen faade of stainless steel is shaped according to a geometrically warped geometry which is characteristics of the skin of many living creatures, including leaves. Those complex curvilinear forms can be built using only rectilinear elements.Thus, a silver bioclimatic foliage protects the interior spaces by a luminous shadow and blends with the park without clashing with the neoclassical nearby architectural elements.In the interior spaces, the astonishing reflection of the mirror-like polished black granite floor is contrasting with the greenish glazed envelop and the horizontal perforated acoustic aluminium grey panels separated by narrow maple fascias. The three level high entrance hall receives light from the roof and is dominated by the vertical elevator case clad alike the floor by shining black granite panels.18 SANLITUN SOUTHA new retail complex, with master plan by Hong Kong based The Oval Partnership, is organized like a medieval village with a dense A new retail complex, with master plan by Hong Kong based The Oval Partnership, is organized like a medieval village with a dense fabric of narrow alleys, low-rise buildings, elevated walkways and bridges connecting all levels. LOT-EK is assigned the north-east section of the village to be dedicated to retail, restaurants and event spaces. LOT-EK concept is centered on the definition of the internal alleys as multi-level, open-air circulation channels. In each alley, a rhythmic system of scaffolding-like metal frames is wedged between the buildings, adapting to the varying width of the alleys cross-section. The scaffolding-like frames are connected along the side of the buildings by a random system of horizontal metal rods that function as railing and brise-soleil, defining a loggia on the upper levels and generating a tunnel like perspective within the alleys. The rhythm of the structure is based on the width of ISO shipping containers {8 feet} which are inserted randomly into the facades of the building and jut out into the alleys. At the ground level, the containers function as canopies that hover over the retail stores entrances and house display or other small functions on the interior. At the upper floors the containers are pierced and skewered by the horizontal circulation functioning as entrances to the retail stores and as display windows along the loggias. The scaffolding-like structure extends the alleys out towards the main street of the Sanlitun area to lure in the passers-by. At every level the containers function as large three-dimensional graphic objects layered with signage and logos. Orange mesh, also pierced by shipping containers, wraps the external perimeter of the entire north-east section adding privacy and sun refraction along the outer faades. 19 Herms Factory - Leather goods workshop in the ArdennesIts the project of a factory for the production of Herms leather bags. The workshop life with its craft industry at work is enhanced by the organization and the sight over the Meuse. It is a platform on stilts going down the fall of the plot, in front of the Meuse. The entrance integrates itself in a nave crossing over toward the river, which disperses the spaces for the administration and the restaurant. It also appeals to organise events.The plan is organised, according to a measure of 17.40 meters, in correspondence with scale of each workshop and their structural range. Theirs combinations demarcate a building at the horizontal level, 104 meters long and 52 meters width. To allow prompt workings, the generic constructive device was produced in galvanised high steel. The assemblage of these constructive components reveals a workmanship.The architects hand with the first sketch for the edifice profile, the workmans hand for the work construction, and the hand of craft industry for the bags production succeed themselves in its architecture life. This project is a conception of a process.Moments of the workings were photographed, revealing every time, a transience piece in the middle.20 Magic Bus Staff Dormitory (Magic bus is a NGO founded in Mumbai in 1999 aspiring to create a long-term, sustained intervention of life skills development for at-risk children through recreation, play and creative expression activities. They organise weekly sports and games sessions, educational day-trips to their weekend residential camp the Magic Bus Centre. Architecture BRIO has been asked to design the second construction phase of the Centre comprising a staff dormitory, separate facilitation centres for children and corporates, and a childrens village.)The dormitory for the staff of the NGO Magic Bus will be located in the valley below the Karjat Dam. Sited on the tip of a small plateau it overlooks paddy fields and sleepy villages. Embedded in the topography, the dormitory reveals different elevations depending on the viewpoint. By utilizing the steep slope an intimate low faade faces the entrance court on the forest side. A more prominent vertical faade faces the paddy fields.The interior of the dormitory will reveal itself as one moves through the building. A staircase cutting through the building mass breaks up the passage on the ground floor. This cut in the building frames the exterior beyond, creating interplay between inside and outside. This staircase leads you down to a large double height recreational space. Suspending the two-storey structure over the ridge creates this space below. The top floor is surrounded on all sides by a veranda. At the end of a colonnaded passage a large shaded deck overlooks a most spectacular view over the trees, towards the contours of the Matheran mountain range in the distance.A cage of bamboo columns wraps around the building. Public circulation and veranda's occupy the interstitial spaces between the external bamboo columns and the internal mass. The large covered veranda's and the relatively narrow width of the building envelope allow for comfortably ventilated and shaded semi-indoor spaces. The bamboo enclosure creates a dialogue between the interior and the dramatically changing landscape. The natural landscape changes from a dense brightly green colored jungle-like forest during the monsoon months to a pale brown shrubby wasteland during the dry and hot summer months. The building has to respond to these extreme conditions by allowing enough shade and breeze during the summer and providing a waterproof indoor environment during the stormy monsoons. The screen of columns creates an ever-changing pattern of light and shadow throughout the seasons and times of the day, making the building a sensor of light.A reduced material palette using bamboo for columns and walls, and natural stone and polished concrete for floors, neutralised by the whitewashed interiors gives the calm rational architectural language a sensual physical presence. The row of bamboo posts at 1.5-meter intervals forms a permeable skin around the building as well as supports the entire building. Bamboos, being the fastest growing grass in the world, are a high yielding renewable material resource. The high strength and low weight factor of bamboo makes it remarkably earthquake and cyclone resistant.With invaluable inputs from engineer Vilas Gore of GeoScience Services, innovative technologies and methods are used in order to reduce the amount of non-renewable materials throughout the building. The selection of materials and building methods is optimized to decrease the load on the building, which in turn allow the supporting columns to be sleek and elegantly dimensioned.21 Rethinking Courtyard in the Urban Context In rural courtyard we have seen the space to be a part of everyones life- may it be men, women or children. If there is a transitional space, lets say a veranda, an under cover or any other semi-open space, then it is psychologically more appealing since its half way between indoors and outdoors. The contemporary urban residences of Dhaka City is said to be the outcome of a series of transformation and adaptation that are still continuous. Various urban forces generated at different times and in phases, have over the years played an important role in shaping up the urban residences. The beginning of urbanization started with the migration of rural people. Even today many people in cities have rural roots and there is thus the continuity of many rural behavioral and cultural patterns in the urban context. The similarity in layout and use of space between the rural homestead and urban apartments is an example of that. The element which is inseparable from both the context is the courtyard which has undergone transformation from the beginning of urbanization, till now. Up till a few decades back the courtyard was reduced to a court due to limitation of land and an increasing demand to provide accommodation for the ever increasing population. As a result, the space was losing its essence, its purpose- socially, climatically and physically. Thus an attempt was made to revive its features by introducing another phase of transformation that this may have undergone- its free-flowing characteristics i.e. the outdoor becoming the indoor, its linkages with the surrounding landscape, spaces, a living space where the family members can interact with each other at leisure with neighbors as well as among themselves. At present, since all the residential buildings are multi-storied so the vertical relationship along with the horizontal relationship, the semiotic and not to mention the climatic aspects were taken in to consideration 22 Media experience urban park The main goal of the project is the development of a methodology to analyze the impact of technology on the perception of the contemporary urban space. More specifically it focuses on the study of the use of the cellular phone in the public space. At first level it tries to visualize the dynamical change of perception through the analysis of peoples movement patterns and behavior. The area of interest is the area of Liverpool Street station in London which is characterized by the diversity and flow of people through the day. In this area a route has been selected in order to investigate the movement of people using cell phones through the city. The selection of the route is based on the diversity and combination of the public spaces. This analysis, through the development of a mapping technique, is extracting the visualization of a dynamic field of temporal privatizations.The next step of the methodology is the extraction of spatial qualities out of the results of the mapping process. This is happening gradually through the development of a translation procedure. This translation is extracting a deformation of the public space itself. It is my intension now to investigate this deformation and the spatial relations it can create. Therefore the deformation is translated into a three dimensional steel truss. The truss has specific geometric attributes which create various spatial relations. It is the moment where the program of the media experience urban park is emerging to fill up these relations. The ethereal character of the spatial relations is underlined with the use of wood as a softer material which is partially embracing the steel truss in order to define exactly the spaces and their relations. The final result is a semi-public space which is engaging a passing by space with the media applications. 23 DMC ANKARA On Ankara-Eskiehir road, Doan Medya Center is planned to be a distinctive media figure, housing TV channels, Hurriyet and Milliyet newspapers of the group, creating the basis of interaction between the brands and providing a common source.The main form of the building is decided to be a cube in respect to the square site; yet starting on the surface the straight cube form deformed and re-structured by again cubic annexes and subtractions that resulted in extra volumes.The emblematic use of faade creates a visually legible dynamic ambiance with reference to todays fast moving and assertive image of the media. The building is strongly perceived from afar and in diverse prospects at various angles due to perforated shield resembling Braille alphabet at range of sizes.The separate units stick out on the faade dedicated to each TV channel and newspapers so that special units are obvious from outside as well, and from within the building there are panoramic views of the city. The assemblage of smaller cubes within the structure of the large box can be read as a metaphor for the diversity of the companys operations.In accordance with topographic directions, slightly angled solutions of the modules on the front elevations and south-north axis enhance the vivacity. It is a genuine building in terms of transparency; strong in-out correlation enables a well-defined description before getting in the building. Composed harmoniously with the environment; it is open to the cityscape.The concrete structure reaches up to 7 stories by feasible use of galleries so that extra operative space created by mezzanines, whereas the standard is 4-4 floors. The story height is 4 meters, every two floors a cube is formed; the modular structure provides a flexible basis for planning. Intermediate floors are supported on secondary steel columns and beams. Main food court is located in the atrium after the main lobby and a terrace-lounge is reserved as the VIP meeting point at the upper floor.The building is dynamic and interactive with the road in front of it, as an eye-catching sign. Separate sections like studios and offices of press people preserve their exclusivity and each segment is accentuated in the integral form of the re-assembled blocks of cube.24 Infobox Competition proposal for a new information center and landmark, Liverpool: The brief requested a building that housed a new information center, offices and marketing suite for a development to regenerate an area of liverpool that is a landmark in itself and a catalyst for the regeneration. The scheme comprises a ground floor and first floor plan which emerges from the ubiquitous site hoardings. The main entrance, which forms an abrupt break in the continuity of the hoardings, affords passers by a fantastic periscopic view of the entire Tribeca development site. Clad in revolving mirrored louvres, the periscope itself serves on the one hand as a beacon for the development, and on the other hand enables prospective home owners/business to preview the city-wide views.25 City of Jaca Hockey Arena This Ice Pavillion will be the most representative building of the European Youth Olimpic Festival of Jaca 2007, the first event in the Pyrennes. Two ice rinks allow the pavillion celebrates hockey, figure skating, short track and curling competitions. This construction must show the importance of the ice in Jaca and regenerate an undeveloped area of the city recovering the natural landscape and its use for winter sports. The Dome, as a modern simbol of the nearby Oroel mountain an Pyreneer peaks, rests directly on the ground as a frozen water drop avoiding typical faades. The membrane is noticed as a soft cristallization, and must be traspassed in order to access the dome. This element respond to the structure, faade,installations and conceptual requirements.26`Ro` House House that builts on narrow site. Living space like tenement house. However, it spaces it openheartedly. Residence with window where only the sky is seen view is obstructed from street, view is opened in distance.27 Danish Pavillion at Shanghai Expo 2010 STATUS : Ongoing The Danish pavilion should not only exhibit the Danish virtues. Through interaction, the visitors are able to actually experience some of Copenhagens best attractions the city bike, the harbor bath, the nature playground and an ecological picnic The bike is a venacular means of transportation and a national symbol common to Denmark and China. In recent years it had a very different fate in the two countries. While Copenhagen is striving to become the worlds leading bike city, heavy motor traffic is rising in Shanghai, where the car has become a symbol of wealth. With the pavilion we relaunch the bike in Shanghai as a symbol of modern lifestyle and sustainable urban development. The pavilions 1500 city bikes are offered for general use to the visitors during EXPO 2010. After the world exhibition it can be moved and placed in i.e. Peoples Parc as a transferium for the bikes of Shanghai. Both Shanghai and Copenhagen are harbor cities. However, the polluting activities in the harbor have been replaced by harbor parcs and cultural institutions in Denmark, and as a result the water has become clean enough to swim in. In the heart of the pavilion lies a harbor bath, which is filled up with seawater from Copenhagen harbour shipped to Shanghai in a tank vessel. The Chinese can swim in the bath and not only hear about the clean water but actually feel and taste it. The Little Mermaid is sitting in the waterline of the harbor bath exactly as she is in Copenhagen harbor. It is the original Mermaid visiting China as a concrete example of the idea that the Danish pavilion contains the real experience of the Danish city life. While the Little Mermaid is in Shanghai, her place in Langelinie will be occupied by three trendsetting Chinese artists and their interpretation of the sculpture. The absence of the Mermaid will increase her value as an attraction for the Danes and in this period it will be possible to follow her life in Shanghai via a live transmission. The pavilion is constructed as a monolithic self-supporting construction in white-painted steel, manufactured at a Chinese shipyard. Prefabrication will affect to an uncomplicated transportation, effective samlingsproces, rational dismantling and transfer. The synthetic light-blue coating used in Denmark for bicycle paths will cover the roof. Inside, the floor will appear in epoxy, the light-blue bycycle path respectively. The sequence of events at the exhibition takes place between two parallel facades the internal and external. The internal is closed and contains different functions of the pavilion. The width varies and is defined by the programme of the inner space. The external facade, pavilions faade outwards, is made of perforated steel that represents/reflects a Danish city silhouette. In the evening time, the indoor activity of the pavilion will be illuminated for passers-by. 28 CHILDRENS MUSEUM FOR PEACE AND HUMAN RIGHTS {CMPHR} The project provides a facility for the children of Karachi where they learn about the philosophy of peace and human rights, as well as participate in simple recreational activities. This is a multi- dimension educational space, a cultural landmark and an institution for promoting peace and human rights. Being a strikingly linear site {1.95 Acres} with shallow depth {435x 195} the Master Plan was developed by juxtaposing the two main features of the Program, i.e., the museum and the auditorium along a diagonal datum which creates a variety of dynamic outdoor spaces and leads to an inviting threshold, in addition to the required enclosed functions. Such an arrangement also breaks the monotony of the linear site and holds together the building blocks in a balanced composition. The use of levels, evident in the entire planning, achieves a variety of design objectives: separation, linkages, transition, creation of views and vistas, binding of indoor and outdoor spaces- that collectively yield a rich spatial experience. Sensitive and consistent use of ramps helps to create this experience. Since levels on site were not provided, the road level is assumed as +/-0-00, and the building levels set accordingly. The edges of the site are defined and demarcated through landscape elements, berm and trees. Use of trees on the periphery creates a barrier against noise, pollution and provides shade for people. Water has been primarily used to order public movement, as well as an aesthetic element. The Program had outlined Four Zones: Zone A: Museum {Galleries} Zone B: Workshops Zone C: Auditorium & Workshops Zone D: Admin/Storage On the entry level the podium has been raised above eye level {from +2 to +8}, in order to separate and then unveil the complex as one ascends it.29 algorithmic Tower- Shanghai All cities use subdivision logic to define spatial, geometric and distributive hierarchies. Based on this shared structure, a cellular coded methodology is proposed to configure the future Tower typology in the post-Expo times for Shanghai Expo 2010 site , the density of which is undoubtedly going to be higher and higher after the Expo.The proposal employs code-based scripting methodology with increasing capacity to manage higher orders of complexity required by the cellular network logic. These cells are generated by subdivision codes, and they grow vertically in a series of new tower typologies. Various systems are coded with specific algorithm for growth and expansion, configured to articulate gradual transitions and subdivisions with a segmented mathematical approach to the formation of curvilinear spaces and structures. Surface modules are arrayed based on various parameters to form aggregate building structures and space dividers, achieving a high degree of complexity from simple local conditions.Direction, such as major direction of the sunlight or view is a crucial contextual information, become one of the major parameters here. Each level plan is unique, but all of them are under the control of this discipline. The emergency stairs and elevator core are close together, growing and twisting inside the tower.The design exemplified how algorithms can be appled parametrically in the formation of design systems in relation to specific contingent criteria.The series of computational procedures applies a unique subdivision logic and curvilinear surface algorithem as a sequence of scripts generating iterative cellular spaces and material interfaces. Recursive computational design procedures allow for feedback,adjustment and optimization of specific organizations conditions of a project brief.30 Peace Bridge The Custom and Immigration Building is an extension of the human settlement and river crossing activities that have existed on the Fort Erie border crossing site for 10,000 years.The Building is placed like an island in the middle of a river of cars - its curvilinear form partially generated by the flow of traffic around it.From the crest of the Peace Bridge it appears as a streamlined and glistening sculptural form. Upon closer arrival, the modern roof is seen to conceal an inner construction of interwoven wood glulam substructure, supporting an exposed wood roof deck that is evocative of shelter construction and canoes of the native Indians who originally settled this area. The curving wood roof creates an embracing space that is materially warm and animated, making the vehicle inspection area atmosphere less intimidating and more welcoming. Structurally, the interwoven glulam acts like a membrane or space frame, allowing extensive cantilevers and support from limited points available between the parking spots.This treatment extends into the building forming the ceiling of the public atrium, and the 2nd floor office and lunch room areas. The wood components are fundamental to the design. They go beyond an elegant structural solution and sculptural form to make a connection to a material that is a part of the Canadian identity.31 Villatoile The Villatoile resort, located in the ancient farm of Pont Lesse, near to the Lesse river and surrounded by the woods of Dinant, accommodate more than 10000 visitors by year. The two sanitary blocks are situated in the ancient stable inside the court of the complex. These two spaces needed an urgent renovation. The program was simple, with specifics requirements: to be able to resist at the flooding of the river (in 2003, the level of water was upper than one meter), to be high resistant to vandalism and to be easy cleaned with under pressure water. In this restricted area, it has been necessary to include a space for disabled person. At the opposite of the existent situation, the project create ,in each of the two rooms {woman and man}, a central block of water closed, shower and a technical corridor. Along the lateral walls it has been designed a furniture inspired of the feeding tray, combining the washbasin with a bench. A central point of the project has been the reflections on the quality light. The new proposal opens the lateral spaces, to allow the sunlight in from the windows. An indirect light give value to the ancient vaults, now discovered again after the renovation, just above the central block. A series of neon installed under the opalescent plastic ceiling create a milky light and a pattern of reflections on its curved surface. This ceiling also allow to hide all the technical equipments protecting them from vandalism. The modernity of the new equipments contrast and dialogue with the ancient stonewall and vaults, necked and cleaned up.32 Geno Matrix The traditional skyscraper is no longer a valid response to the dynamic demands of the 21-century due to its limited and static form and incapable of adapting to changing contextual parameters. The central feature of our project is the development of a deformable structure that exhibits characteristics of a living organism, with the potential for evolution in a manner similar to the larger cityscape. We named it as Geno-Matrix, a genotype driven structure for skyscraper, which, according to the changing spatial requirements, can produce potentially infinite scenarios. It can deform itself in the molecular level, compatible with the unstable fitness of current inhabitation cultures. Rather than using the conventional architectural design process to generate the form, Geno-Matrix comes from genotype, phenotype, mate, crossover, morph, mutation and selection process. Geno-Matrix can be adapted to any context and multiplied throughout the urban space. In the design process, we applied genetic computing and evolution techniques with the emphasis on their potential of creating forms that are useful in the production of architectural novelty and originality.33 MY HOUSEMY HOUSE IS MINIMAL SPACE FOR SEEING NATURE , WITHOUT ANY TRAVERSE BETWEEN MY EYES AND MY AROUND . . .This house set above hills to verge a beautiful mountain who calls AVRIN in azarbaijan , In this house i see Avrin every day . . .It is a minimal idea and minimal design and minimal space .LESE IS MORE . . . area: IRAN West Azarbaijan Khoy

34 touching waterKotka was born as harbour town for the wood and paper industry. The actual urban configuration has grown around this productive activity, with two main centres; Kotkansaari and Karhula. Nowadays the towns main character is still strictly connected with the sea and harbour activity. The big emptyness in the competitions area gives the opportunity of designing a proper citys piece, on which we can express and realize a contemporary idea of living. Some issues are always present and definitely relevant in the recent contemporary debates on urban design: the role that urban planning has in urban strategies, the connections meaning between scales and constant relevant themes and how it responds to the necessity of fast changes conciliating local expectations and international motives. The project proposes a way of designing the city not as a succeding or overlapping of single objects or architectural episodes, but instauring complex spatial and architectural relations according to a systemic proportion of the city. In this systemic idea, the vary architectural and landscaping elements integrate themselves in a proper idea of net, as alternative of a hierarchical and centripetal city or only made of architectural emergencies. The built forms and spaces proposed by the project present themselves as suitable completions of the landscape, urban or not, colloquial but mimetic inserts in the contest. The project promotes the accessibility to any space and function,underlining the connections and free routes between the different parts and the rest of the city, and above all a new urban interface between land and sea. The entire project is concentrated on this dialectic concepts reality of the limit betweeen land and water: the cost line is contemporarely the start and the end point of the citys territory. It is the place where the limit of the vastness of the Nature and the sense of the anthropologys made up order imposes itself. This citys part marks a mediation between the natures infinity and the that basic human will of building inside spaces. first prize.35 Ayurvedic Therapy and Training Institute Kerala,a tropical paradise in India is known for its rich traditions of Ayurveda,one of India`s traditional systems of medicine.Ayurveda provides an integrated approach to preventing and treating illness through lifestyle interventions and natural therapies. The program was a center for practicing Ayurvedic therapy on patients from all over India and abroad.Students interested in learning this system of medicine train under the practitioners as apprentices,much like a `gurukulam`.The project required spaces for therapy,teaching and accommodation for practitioners,students and patients. The site chosen was a spectacular back water stretch in north Kerala.It was the tip of a peninsular land formation girdled on three sides by water. The Institute was conceptualized as a linear form hugging the coast-line resting on stilts.The boundary between land and water becomes the place where therapy and training of students takes place.The accommodation sits inland among rice-fields with the `bund walls/retaining walls` forming the approaches.Being made of laterite stone it gives a sense of rest and of being solidly rooted to the ground as opposed the floating institute. The existing vernacular traditions in Kerala architecture were taken as the base upon which the project evolved.36 Centre for Remote Health - Alice Springs . Stage 1 The Centre for Remote Health enhances the urban landscape by embracing the spiritural needs of the Central Arrernte Aboriginals and the direct connection they have to the natural features considered sacred . At this facility provides tertiary education, training and research conjointly between various university organisations with a focus on combating the health status of people in remote Aboriginal Communities and towns . This project has many passive energy features and has recieved awards for it`s sustainable direction.37 KUMU- Art Museum of Estonia The project is based on the winning proposal of an international architectural competition held in 1994. Further design work began immediately after the competition, and revised preliminary designs were submitted to the museum in January 1995. During next few years there was a long pause until funding was secured in 1999 and the actual design work could begin. After various delays, a building permit was issued in summer 2002. Almost 216,000 cubic metres of limestone was excavated and removed from the site, allowing construction work to begin in autumn 2003. The construction work was completed at the end of 2005 and the museum was opened to the public on 18 February 2006. The impressive site with a 20-metre-high lime stone slope is located at the south end of the Kadriorg Park, some 3 km from Tallinn city centre. In order to leave the park as intact as possible and not to threaten the dominant position of the adjacent Kadriorg Palace, the large museum building was placed in the slope, partly underground. The round shape came about as if by itself, as a result of the ramp solution that connects the different levels of the museum. A curved wall encloses the courtyard and an outdoor sculpture exhibition. The ramp divides the museum building into two different parts. Outside the curve are, for instance, the administrative personnel`s rooms and the conservation facilities, and inside are the lobby and exhibition halls. The parking area and bus stops are on the uppermost level of the site. Visitors walk down the stairs of a pedestrian tunel and through the outdoor sculpture exhibition area to the main entrance. On the entrance level are ticket booths, museum shop and entrance to temporary exhibitions. The other entrance to the museum is on the ground level from the Kardiorg park side. The ramp takes visitors up to the foyer of the auditorium and further to the main entrance lobby. The high lobby area that divides the museum into two parts is dominated by the connecting bridges. The design aims at simplicity and clarity. The exhibition halls are simple and unassuming, placing the artwork at centre stage. The ascetism of the interior continues in the exterior, which relies on the power of plain geometric forms. The main facade materials are limestone, green-patinated copper and glass. 38 Jeongok Prehistory Museum The Jeongok Prehistory Museum is located in the Hantan River Park. With the discovery of the Aecheulian Hand Axe, the neighbored excavation site is considered as one of the most important Palaeolithic sites in world archaeology. Besides the presentation of artefacts the museum should give an insight to the excavation work and be an entrance to the landscape of the river Hantan.The site is located on a slope and connects the park at the river with the excavation site. The idea is to extrapolate the existing landscape with a building that intensifies the landscape instead of reshaping it. By the manipulation of the gentle slope a path through the museum is created. It connects all public areas such as ticket office, exhibition, museum shop, lecture hall, caf and restaurant.The actual exhibition space is at the level of the entrance and continues into the hill to descend the visitors into the historic layers of the excavation hill. The exhibition space embedded in the ground, provides the spatial experience of the excavation pits.The most visible and iconographic element of the museum is the roof. Its volumetric structure of sections spans over all museum areas. The roof is shaped by the lateral forces which determine the different heights of the sections. The sections itself are interconnected with a system of steel beams and cables, so the roof structure appears massive and very light at the same time.39 The New Orang-utan Enclosure at Perth Zoological Gardens This project forms part of the practice`s ongoing work for the Perth Zoo. Designed to establish connections between Orang-utan behaviour, living patterns and qualities of their natural environment, this new enclosure consists of a series of `trees` that simulate the physical complexities of a rainforest. This is achieved through a careful assemblage of recycled concrete pylons and robust steel `branches` and climbing frames. Each tree holds double decker nests with timber and steel shading structures providing points of rest. This along with a collection of activities; puzzle boxes, dip tubes, water canons, drinkers, the bent steel armatures and ropes are able to be tuned to create changing, simulating event space.40 Trade center of Iran national industries Trade center of Iran national industries By considering first conditions and race wishes, two words such commercial and residential indicate for adjacent of two kind of perceptions, according to special principles and characteristics which each contain at designing, or two special organizing and encourage the designer to take the three-dimensional policy at designing process. Two first aspects designing of two mentioned phases, according to project desires and third aspect, is the spatial and designing versatility in whole collection. - First of all at designing commercial area, the case of exteriority and at residential complex, the aspect of its exteriority has been considered green space around commercial collection and inner area at residential site, which has surrounded by apartment blocks, indicate for the case. - At other stage, because of total lines of extensions site at highway edge and the way of occupying and good dividing of site after doing multi sketches, the result is a liner organizing which necessary spaces are defined at one spatial balance; so this way of function is considered at residential collection and 42 degree rotation has done in order to maximum use of south light. - Adjacent of site with FATH highway which is symbol of fast move and speed, has effective on extension of north edge bulk and frame lines of fraction face, into the bulk, make possible the perception and looking into the complex. Locating the complex near the airport, have been an important factor at shaping bulks. - First there was possibility of bird sight into collection, because of collection importance, index bulks with perspective to future has been considered. - The way of rising and coming down of airplanes at adjacent to the site, while conforming around activities. Of course, its to be noted that parallelism of mentioned spaces at this structure have been considered. 41 VILLA IN OJAI Located on an open hillside landscape just outside Los Angeles, this house conforms in spirit to the needs of the new family: its flexible plan permits configurations of privacy and gathering without sacrificing visual unity. Its essential lines contribute to rich combinations of panorama and closure. Views through spaces and out onto the landscape invite in the natural world. The vigorously open space does not preclude a sense of intimacy. The clients spend most of their time balancing between two European cities.
