From the Architect Report: With the contribution „Forum am Seebogen“ the architectural studio heri&salli was able to win the concept competition for the “Townhouse open to different usages” in Aspern-Seestadt. The building complex will emerge on the 800 m2 building site H7A in the quarter “Am Seebogen” in the new Vienna district “Seestadt”. In collaboration with a company that builds family homes, art:phalanx-agency for culture and urbanity, landscape architecture Paisagista Liz Zimmermann and Strobl Bau GmbH, a heterogenic project, where living, working and imparting of culture form a fruitful symbiotic relationship, was developed. With a special focus on the potential of modular system design, a contemporary prototype was created. The objective is to build in a short construction time and with a relatively low cost a high-quality living space.The permeable podium zone is designed as a forum open to different usage that fulfills a very central location general functions of the building site and possesses to a great extent a public character. As a central regulator to revive the district, the ground floor is procedurally programmed.It s a temporary platform for artists and cultural workers that in the long run can become an established cultural institution as well as a temporary hotspot for IBA_ Wien 2022; by means of an innovative exposition area and an outdoor city model the development of “Seestadt” can be experienced in a playful way. Along with the attractive outdoor facilities, the forum creates a functional entity that in the transition towards the lakeside promenade invites a visit, a longer stay, and a dialogue.On the upper floors, various combinations of prefabricated basic modules of different housing typologies are created. Output modules, extensions, spaces that can be connected if required and terraces offer a variety of possibilities. Small entities can be used as minilabs, micro-working units, or shared infrastructure, they are integrated in the structure in the same way as a big area for activity-based-working on the top floor.

Ascension Paysagère

From the Architect Report: Ascension Paysagère is a residential complex at the confluence of two rivers in the west of Rennes, France. Occupying a crucial transitional space between the Rennes’ centre and its outer reaches, the 12-storey, 8,200-square-metre complex brings muchneeded density in the context of the city’s outward growth, providing 138 homes in a variety of sizes and price ranges –including 37 units of social housing – as well as commercial spaces and pleasant new public spaces in a green waterside environment.Positioned precisely where the Ille River joins the Vilaine, across from the green floating park of the Jardin de la Confluence.

Ascension Paysagère takes inspiration from geological formations. The project comprises two curving buildings, one large and one small, with gradually receding slopes. By the river, and at points where the project approaches its neighbours, the buildings are low, acknowledging the expansive, low-rise context. Elsewhere, however, the design gradually steps up into three peaks, reaching the maximum 12-storey height in the centre of the site. The terraces created by these gradual step-backs are decked with pots filled with greenery. On the western corner of the larger block, in between the building’s two ‘peaks’, a garden including fruit trees emphasises this green approach. The façade reinforces the connection to geology. It features both matte and glossy ceramic panels in five different tones of grey, arranged into stratified layers: dark and mostly matte near to ground level, and lighter and glossier at the top levels. At night, lighting reinforces this effect, with more lights integrated into the ceramic panels at the top of the building. As a result, the design seems as if it truly belongs – an outgrowth of the environment itself.

“With the river and the park opposite, the site offers a wonderful location for people to live. The challenge was to allow as many people as possible to live here without destroying those qualities. We do this by creating an ensemble of two buildings with silhouettes like small hills, covered with terraces and balconies to allow the inhabitants nice outdoor spaces that are already provided with large pots for plants and trees.” says MVRDV founding partner Nathalie de Vries. Every apartment is provided with an outdoor space – either a terrace, a balcony, or a loggia. Each of these comes complete with custom plant pots fitted with automatic irrigation as well as a dedicated water tap to help residents care for their piece of the landscape.s define a series of public spaces, with a green pedestrian street between the two blocks and a plaza at the water’s edge that leads to Le Bacchus, a restaurant and theatre that is embraced by the curve of the larger building. The entrances to the larger building are found in three inviting, wood-clad passages that punch through the building, creating generous meeting spaces and providing views and access to a secluded garden at the rear of the theatre-restaurant.

The project uses a variety of approaches to ensure sustainability and social responsibility. Densifying an urban area reduces the city’s need to expand into the surrounding landscape, and the parking garages include a total of 210 square metres for bicycle parking, including dedicated spaces for cargo bicycles and electric charging

stations to encourage more sustainable transport options. The 34 apartments in the smaller building are completed to Passivhaus standards, giving them the potential to use dramatically less energy than typical apartments. Many of the apartments are double or even triple aspect, with windows on multiple sides of the building to allow cross ventilation and excellent natural light conditions inside. A diverse range of apartment types is spread throughout the building, including 37 homes for social rent and 42 for sale as affordable housing, ensuring that the project offers something for people of all income levels and family sizes.

The communal spaces in the buildings feature highstandard finishes and are open to all residents, treating every occupant equally regardless of the price or type of their apartment. With the green surroundings, the location on the water, and the beautiful outdoor spaces, Ascension Paysagère is poised to further add to the liveability of Rennes, and can serve as a demonstration of how the city can meet its current housing demand.

From the Architect Report: The intervention in question has been designed as a building replacement through the demolition of a building for commercial use, consisting of a basement and an above-ground floor within a lot at Via Leone Tolstoi 87, at the corner of the private road Via Tagiura in Milan. The new building with the same GFA, exclusively for residential use, has 6 aboveground floors each accommodating from 2 to 5 housing units, plus a penthouse and upper penthouse divided into 2 side-byside duplex units, and a basement for garage use.The project, named Casa Calipso, is part of our studio’s research on modern Milanese syntax, with specific reference to the periods in which it was expressed in the 20th century – notably Rationalism in the inter-war period and Reconstruction – up to today’s reactivation by various authors, both in professional contexts and in theoretical-critical works.The design idea for Casa Calipso is based on the juxtaposition of three bodies, a larger one near the intersection of the streets and two smaller ones connecting with buildings constructed on the adjoining lots. The larger body is a pure volume, finished in white plaster, screened on the sides facing the streets by a white, double-row frame – complemented by syncopated partitions and containing outdoor dining loggias – and finished with a white penthouse and upper penthouse set back from the façade line, thereby carving out generous terraces. The smaller bodies are pure volumes, finished in white plaster and crowned by a white frame, echoing the frame of the larger body and framing two terraces for the third- and fourth-floor units.The interplay between multiple parts of the building is a recurring feature of a number of Milan’s modern buildings, The composition of the main body of the Casa Calipso, in addition to the articulation of volumes and the frame, is completed with a small metal frame, in cross-section like the handrail of the balcony parapets and along their line, slightly offset from the main frame. This decorative element, together with the crown of the lower bodies, connects the skyward end of the Casa, harmonizing the progressive set-backs between the various volumes. All of the windows, except for six round ones, are vertically oriented and are supplemented by metal rod parapets where they do not open directly onto balconies. The use of frames is another recurring feature of the Milanese Modern,The views of the Casa Calipso from the intersection and from the two streets offer different ways of reading the built bodies. The views from the streets, on the other hand, reveal the dual nature of the larger body, both pure volume with regular windows and a syncopated white diaphragm that deviates to accommodate the loggia spaces.The plan configuration of the Casa reflects this articulation, especially on the ground floor where pure volume set-backs give way to porticoed spaces, one for the entrance from the public street, the other two on the garden. Additional internal common spaces are a double atrium, technical and ancillary rooms including the bicycle and baby-carriage room and the garbage room, with access from the outside. The vertical access is from a single staircase, in a central position and serving a varying number of building units per floor: smaller size units (two- to three-room apartments) make up levels consisting of five units; larger units may result in two or even one unit per level. The variation in interior units does not result in variation in the windows, which are aligned according to precise views from contiguous sidewalks. All units are at least double-facades, with sleeping areas facing north or east-west and living areas facing south or east-west, with the exception of two single-facade units facing south.

From the Architect Report: Gomila is a collection of buildings, each with their own individual character derived from their colours, materials, and rooflines, that is transforming the area around Plaza Gomila in the neighbourhood of El Terreno. Adding a total of 60 new dwellings of various sizes and types, as well as new commercial spaces, after one phase Project Gomila is already well on the way to reviving El Terreno as a vibrant, green, sustainable residential neighbourhood. Centred around Plaza Gomila, close to the city’s harbour, El Terreno is a historic neighbourhood of Palma that in the ‘60s and ‘70s was known for its nightlife, with famous performances by musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, and Tom Jones in its bohemian nightclubs.

After a long period of neglect and decline, the Fluxà Family, owners of the Mallorca-based Camper shoe brand, purchased a series of neighbouring plots around the Plaza, initiating a renewal plan that echoed Camper’s philosophy of combining heritage with innovation and creativity.

The five buildings completed in phase one include the Gomila Center, which forms the heart of the neighbourhood.

A renovation of a 1979 design by architect Pere Nicolau, on the ground floor this white building features a spacious patio, with a restaurant, office spaces, and apartments rising around this central feature in a series of stepping terraces and balconies. Next to the Gomila Centre are the red townhouses known as Las Casitas, which are topped by a landscape of rooftop terraces allowing neighbouring residents to socialise together.

On the other side of the Gomila Center, located on a prominent street corner, is Las Fabri-Casas, a set of row houses with a saw-tooth roof completed with blue ceramic façades. Tucked behind this is a low-carbon apartment building constructed of compressed earth blocks, with a communal rooftop swimming pool that offers views towards the nearby Bellver Castle.

Finally, across the street on the Plaza Gomila itself is the green building La Plaza, a transformation of an existing building that hosts a revival of the historic bar Bellver, offices, and a communal rooftop with views of the bay and the cathedral.

The Gomila buildings are energy neutral, using many of the same principles developed for the Passivhaus standard including high thermal efficiency and passive climate control measures such as shutters and cross ventilation to reduce energy needs. To utilise the many sun hours of Mallorca, the rooftops host solar panels while heat recovery systems further reduce the buildings’ energy consumption. Many of the materials have been sourced locally, reducing the carbon produced by the construction.“In terms of urbanism, the concept revolves around the diversity of the buildings”say MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. “Where some of the designs are more suited to family homes, others are more suited for apartments for singles or couples; where some buildings are fully residential,others bring commercial functions into the mix. This diversity of people and spaces will help bring back El Terreno’s lost vibrancy.

”The following phases of the project will add two further buildings to the ensemble: the yellow Casa Virginia, and a small villa next to the Gomila Center, both renovations of existing neighbourhood buildings.

Sluishuis

: ممصملا

Architect : BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group and Barcode Architects

ادنلوه ، مادرتسمأ : عقوملا 2م

From the Architect Report: Located on the outskirts of Amsterdam, the 49.000 m2 floating neighborhood with public roofscapes and riverwalks reinterprets the classic courtyard typology for life on the water.

Sluishuis brings 442 zero-energy owner-occupied and rented homes, a public rooftop garden and walkway, and a comprehensive water-quality program with space for up to 30 houseboats to the area. Located between the dense city and the vast landscapes on the edge of Amsterdam, Sluishuis is shaped by its surroundings, at once close to large infrastructure and to small-scale urban communities. A classic courtyard building, Sluishuis fully embraces the idea of living on the water and appears different from every vantage point. Toward the water the block is lifted up, forming a large opening that brings water from the IJ Lake into the courtyard and brings daylight and views to the inner apartments of the building. Toward the neighboring urban district, the block steps down like a cascade of landscaped terraces, creating a natural transition from cityscape to smaller-scale, natural surroundings.A public passage climbs the cascading terraces of the building, serving as a small rooftop street that eventually loops onto the very top of the building to create a viewing platform over the IJ Lake. The passage not only creates a destination for visitors and neighbors, but connects the residential units to each other, bringing a sense of community to the residents of the building.

“The world-famous urban environment of Amsterdam was created by the fusion of water and city. The new Sluishuis is born of the same DNA, merging water and perimeter block and expanding the possibilities for urban lifeforms around the IJ.” Andreas Klok Pedersen, Partner, BIG added.

The silhouette of Sluishuis changes as one moves around the building. At one vantage point it appears as the bow of a ship that reflects the water below; at another a vertical green community that invites visitors to engage directly with it; and finally, as a true urban block with street-access and city liveliness to be enjoyed by residents, neighbors, and the rest of Amsterdam

“With iconic architecture, as well as new housing typologies, high-quality outdoor spaces and breathtaking views of the IJmeer, Sluishuis is a new landmark for IJburg as well as Amsterdam.” Dirk Peters, Partner, Barcode Architects.

The sustainability of Sluishuis is an integral part of the project. With an energy performance coefficient (EPC) of 0.00, Sluishuis generates more energy than it consumes. The building’s heating requirements are minimized by combining high-performance insulation techniques, triple glazing and heat recovery on the ventilation systems and wastewater.

Energy consumption is further reduced by a heat and cold storage (CHS) system in the ground for heat and cooling in combination with a connection to the district heating system for peak times. The remaining energy consumption for heating, heat pumps, ventilation and LED-lighting is fully compensated by approximately 2,200 m² of solar panels, to which an entire floating island adjacent to the project is dedicated

The development team of Sluishuis paid particular attention to greenspace and water collection. Designed by BIG Landscape, the front sides and the inner harbor of the building feature gardens with local plant species. The greenery runs across the roof terraces up into integrated planters, creating a vibrant green atmosphere over time
