Site Plan


Concept The library is organised around a continuous circulation route of stairs and balconies rising from street level through a wood and glass lined atrium to a public loggia at fifth floor level which offers views of the city and the sea. The ground floor lobby is an interior street that connects the urban fabric with new flows of movement creating new public space for the city

View of Main Elevation

Design Process

1. Site context and building envelope

2. Adapt the volume to the site context

3. Intersect shifting boxes for creating entrance, internal courtyard, and viewing deck

4. Adjust the form of public gallery to generate welcom lobby and guide the flow of visitor


01 / Varna Library - Beacon of Learning The new library will be a distinctive symbol of openness attracting visitors to read, learn, meet, enjoy cultural activities and experience the city from new vantage points

The Library is entered from the ground floor internal street by stairs and elevators up to the first floor reception area. The library is organised around a continuous circulation route of stairs and balconies rising from street level through the atrium which is lined with perforated metal screens with glazing behind. This route leads to the public loggia at fifth floor level which offers views of the city and the sea and access to the open air reading area at sixth floor level

We propose an elevated, cross-shaped building that bridges over the public and cultural facilities for the school at ground level. The cross gives form to the meeting of the two creative axes: design and fabrication. The North South axis houses studio spaces, seminar areas and informal areas for the display of work and for discussion.

02 / New Aarhus School of Architecture The trusses frame the activities of the school to the outside world. The roof level is a garden where vegetables for the civic kitchen can be grown and bees cultivated. At ground level the main entrance to the school is to the North where the key public areas meet: the lecture hall, civic kitchen, library and exhibition galleries. Mobile structures can be moved outside to the green wedge landscape which is integrated with the school as an outside learning environment Flow and Organisation Green Space Design + Fabrication Library, Auditorium, and Gallery Admin Vertical Circulation Mobile Structure Mezzanine


Interior Perspective

The cross shape provides a strong urban form that resonates with the railway history of the site. This contrasts with the open, flowing arrangement of public facilities at ground level. Learning and new knowledge will grow by movement and interaction between these different conditions

Our concept is to make a three dimensional open public space that will become an important new point of linkage within the city’s networks of circulation, transportation and heritage. The two plazas, at ground level and below ground, will be unique and beautiful places to be. These spaces will not be commercial, they will be places for the enjoyment of citizens and visitors, places for cultural and social participation and places to re-discover memories and learn about histories of Seoul

Physical Model of the Site Condition

Physical Model of Proposal A


The underground space is conceived as a large open public plaza with flexible facilities for a range of social and cultural activities. There is an area for gardens and there are areas of hydroponic planting. The oculus and the peeled corner of the ground level square provide areas of natural daylight. There is an area for performance for solo musicians, bands or quartets, actors or local community groups

Physical Model of Site with Problem - Solving Study

Physical Model of Proposal B


03 / Sejong-Daero Historic Cultural Sapce We envisage that the underground cultural plaza will be a place to meet, to relax and to enjoy a packed lunch whilst enjoying public performances and visiting small exhibitions


The square above and the street are supported by concrete columns, or cones, that are perforated with lattice-like openings. These cones have different diameters, some are small with planting and light, others are large enough for seating areas and can form semi-private ‘living rooms’, the largest cones can be used for exhibitions and workshops for children, the elderly and local residents


04 / MALI's New Contemporary Art Wing • Peru / Competition / 6,005 m2 of built-up area / Boyarsky Murphy Architects / 2016 • Concept Development / Diagram / 3D modelling / Rendering / Visualisation

Alchemy offers an exciting urban opportunity to create an open and flexible new plaza and public park for 21st Century Lima. By removing fences and barriers, which will be relocated to the south by the Parque de la Exposicion, the plaza can become a twenty four hour long resource for the city and a dynamic meeting place with seating areas, spaces for performances and small vendors

04 / MALI's New Contemporary Art Wing View of Main Gallery Level & Circulation Space


The Art Wing is organised on two floors around a curved central volume through which all circulation will flow. It is accessed from the plaza level by stairs and elevators from the circular glass pavilion that also houses the new Museum Shop. This central volume is intersected by a two storey glazed open light well that provides light and visual connection to the plaza above. The permanent exhibition gallery is at Level -1. It is a flexible and top lit space with six metre tall ceilings that can be easily reconfigured

Diamond Plan Diamond and Half diamond blocks are laid out within a four hundred metre radius from the new train station so that each block is within a five minutes walk. The space between each unit is generous and allows views across the site. There are landscaped public and social areas between each block. The proposed station is located at the centre of the site and the coach station is to the west. To the east of the station is a multipurpose block with canteen and kitchens, facilities, offices, and a gymn. Sports facilities are integrated across the site with a larger area to the south west of the station. A network of pathways connects the different blocks and bicycle paths connect to the national cycle route via Low Hall Road. Accommodation blocks are serviced by perimeter roads and there are car parks with spaces equivalent to thirty percent of worker bed spaces

07 / Urban Regeneration of the Jamsil Sports Complex • South Korea / Competition / 948,000 m2 of planning area / Boyarsky Murphy Architects / 2015 • Concept Development / Geometry Analysis / 3D modelling / Renreding / Visualisation

The Jamsil Complex lacks human scale and new enabling structures are needed to mediate between the Olympic structures, the city, local neighbourhoods and the global worlds of business, exchange and innovation. We have called these new enabling structures “Urban Playrooms”

Bird’s Eye View


CONCEPT The Urban Playrooms network proposes new green infrastructures of pedestrian and cycle routes, new bridges across the Tancheon and bands of new outdoor leisure activities in the flood defence areas. Across the site there will be a wide variety of new landscaping including formal flower gardens, meadow planting, community gardens for the production of food, wooded areas, play and sports areas, grassy areas for sunbathing and picnics etc

The silo acts as the central circulation hub to the new museum, it is the entry point and it provides exhibition spaces, offices for the administration, public facilities and event spaces. The two museum galleries wrap around the silo and their galleries are stacked on top of each other. The Sørlandets Kunstmuseum is at ground floor level with additional gallery space at first floor level. The Tangen Collection starts at first floor and leads to a single top lit gallery at second floor level

View From Kilden Performing Arts Centre


08 / Art Museum and Cultural Quarter Both entry and exit to each gallery is via this glazed space and there are further exhibition areas within the silo and warehouse. Administration areas are housed in upper levels of the silo and there is a special event space and bar at the top floor of the silo with views across the city and the water

The silo is the entry point to the museum and there are two entrances to it, one from the north facing urban plaza, and the other from the waterfront. The base of the existing silo is formed into a double height hall where the existing geometries of the individual silos have been transformed into a sculpted atrium

Roof Plan

Public Space These public spaces flow through the building and are open and welcoming to the outside. Visitors enter the Sørlandets Kunstmuseum from the silos and then rise up to the other galleries by lift or stairs that are constructed inside individual silos. Circulation to the different galleries takes place on glass walkways that connect to the walls of the silos so that visitors can experience the silos at close hand. The walkways are top lit with views down onto the main entry hall and across the bay
