BIGMAT INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

After Granada and Berlin, the third edition of the BigMat International Architecture Award will be held this year in Florence, a veritable open air museum and city of legend for all lovers of art, history and architecture.

Birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and pre-eminent centre of artistic development, what better city than Florence to represent our award?

This year, the award has been broadened with the participation of Slovakia: an example of the growth and evolution of the BigMat Group.

An ambitious architecture award that is moving forward in this edition with a new structure and paying ever greater attention to diverse facets of the world of construction.

Indeed, the addition of categories to the award (Sustainability and innovative use of material – Architecture – City and landscape – Rehabilitation – Temporary architecture – Interior design) aims to strengthen the bond between our profession as distributors of building material and ever ready to advise and offer solutions for construction and, in the broader sense, the world of architecture.

Owing to the support and involvement of our company year in and year out, the award is arousing great interest throughout Europe, especially in countries where we are present. A true cause of pride for our group. Due to the international scale of the award, we are attaining greater proximity to architects.

With this dynamic, not only have we added new categories to the structure of the prize, but we have also created a Public Choice Award which allows the community of architects and the public at large to express their preferences among the projects selected in every country.

Edition after edition, the objective of the BMIAA remains the same: to do our own small part in the construction of quality projects. Building with professionalism enhances comfort and well-being both socially and economically, and also leaves a legacy for generations to come.

We want to thank all the architects who participate in our award every year, but also all actors and people involved in this project.

BIGMAT PRIX INTERNATIONAL D’ARCHITECTURE

BIGMAT MEZINÁRODNÍ CENA ZA ARCHITEKTURU

Après Grenade et Berlin, la troisième édition du BigMat International Architecture Award s’est conclue à Florence, véritable musée à ciel ouvert et lieu mythique pour tous les amateurs d’art, d’histoire et d’architecture.

Po Granadě a Berlínu se třetí ročník BigMat International Architecture Award bude konat ve Florencii, ve skutečném muzeu pod širým nebem a na mýtickém místě všech milovníků umění, historie a architektury.

Berceau de la renaissance italienne, et centre d’évolution artistique majeure, quelle autre ville pouvait mieux incarner l’image de notre prix que Florence?

Kolébka italské renesance a nejdůležitější centrum uměleckého vývoje. Které jiné město by mohlo lépe ztělesňovat obraz naší ceny než Florencie?

Cette année, il s’est élargi avec la participation de la Slovaquie; témoignant ainsi de l’évolution et de la croissance du groupe BigMat.

Tento rok se bude ceny účastnit i Slovensko, další důkaz toho, jak se naše skupina rozrůstá.

Un prix de l’architecture ambitieux, et qui, à l’occasion de cette édition, évolue en adoptant une nouvelle structure accordant une attention particulière aux différentes facettes du monde de la construction. En effet, l’intégration des catégories dans le prix (Durabilité et utilisation innovante du matériau – Architecture – Ville et paysage – Rénovation – Architecture éphémère – Architecture d’intérieur) a pour objectif de mieux valoriser les liens qui unissent notre métier de distributeurs de matériaux, toujours disposés pour conseiller et offrir des solutions pour le bâtiment, et au sens plus ample au monde de l’architecture qui en est à l’origine.

Grâce à l’appui et à l’implication de notre enseigne, le prix suscite toujours plus d’intérêt dans le cadre européen et notamment dans tous les pays où nous sommes présents. Une véritable fierté pour notre groupe qui, grâce à la dimension internationale du Prix, jouit d’une réelle proximité avec les architectes.

C’est suivant cette dynamique que nous avons non seulement intégré des catégories dans la structure du prix, mais également créé le Prix du Public, permettant à la communauté des architectes ainsi que le grand public au sens large d’exprimer leurs préférences parmi les projets sélectionnés à travers les pays participants.

Edition après édition, l’objectif du BMIAA reste le même: apporter notre pierre à la construction résultant de projets de qualité. Construire bien favorise le confort et le bien-être de tous, du point de vue sociale comme économique, permettant également de léguer un héritage aux générations futures.

Nous souhaitons remercier tous les architectes qui participent de plus en plus à notre Prix, mais aussi tous les acteurs et personnes impliqués dans cette réalisation.

Ambiciózní cena za architekturu, která se u příležitosti tohoto ročníku vyvíjí, přijímá novou strukturu a zvláštní pozornost je věnována různým podobám světa stavebnictví.

Začlenění jednotlivých kategorií do ceny (Stálost a inovativní využívání materiálů - Architektura - Město a krajina – Renovace - Pomíjivá architektura - Architektura interiérů) má za cíl lépe zhodnotit vztahy, které spojují naše povolání distributorů stavebních materiálů, jež jsme vždy připraveni poskytnout radu a nabídnout řešení pro stavbu, a v širší rovině pro svět architektury, který stojí v počátcích každé stavby.

Díky podpoře a zapojení naší značky jsme svědky, ročník za ročníkem, čím dál tím většího zájmu napříč Evropou, zejména v zemích, kde máme zastoupení. Skutečná chlouba naší skupiny, která díky mezinárodnímu rozměru Ceny, nás přibližuje k architektům.

Díky této dynamice jsme nejen zařadili nové kategorie do struktury ceny, ale také jsme vytvořili Cenu veřejnosti, která umožňuje architektům a široké veřejnosti vyjádřit své preference ohledně vybraných projektů z jednotlivých zemí.

Ročník za ročníkem zůstává cíl BMIAA stejný: přispět k výstavbě kvalitních projektů. Výstavba podporuje komfort a pohodu jak z hlediska sociálního, tak z hlediska ekonomického a umožňuje odkázat toto dědictví budoucím generacím.

Chtěli bychom poděkovat všem architektům, kteří se čím dál tím více účastní naší Ceny, ale také všem aktérům a osobám, které se podílejí na realizaci.

BIGMAT PREMIO INTERNAZIONALE DI ARCHITETTURA

BIGMAT PRÉMIO INTERNACIONAL ARQUITETURA

Dopo Granada e Berlino, si conclude la terza edizione del BigMat International Architecture Award a Firenze, museo a cielo aperto e luogo mitico per tutti gli amanti dell’arte, della storia e dell’architettura.

Depois de Granada e Berlim, a terceira edição do BigMat International Architecture Award teve lugar em Florença, verdadeiro museu a céu aberto e lugar mítico para todos os amantes da arte, da história e da arquitetura.

Culla del Rinascimento italiano e fondamentale centro di evoluzione artistica: quale altra città, se non Firenze, avrebbe potuto incarnare al meglio l’immagine del nostro premio?

Berço do Renascimento italiano, e centro preponderante de evolução artística, que outra cidade poderia encarnar melhor a imagem do nosso prémio do que Florença?

Quest’anno, il premio s’ingrandisce con la partecipazione della Slovacchia, a testimonianza dell’evoluzione e della crescita del gruppo BigMat.

Este ano, alargou-se com a participação da Eslováquia, prova da evolução e do crescimento do grupo BigMat.

Un premio d’architettura ambizioso che in questa edizione si evolve, adottando una nuova struttura e prestando particolare attenzione alle diverse sfaccettature del mondo dell’edilizia. L’inserimento di nuove categorie al premio (Sostenibilità e uso innovativo dei materiali – Architettura – Città e paesaggio – Ristrutturazione – Architettura effimera – Architettura d’interni) ha per obiettivo valorizzare al massimo i legami che uniscono il nostro settore dei distributori di materiali edili, sempre disposti a offrire consulenza e soluzioni per l’edilizia, al mondo in senso lato dell’architettura, da cui essa si origina.

Um prémio de arquitetura ambicioso, e que, por ocasião desta edição, evolui com a adoção de uma nova estrutura, dando uma especial atenção às diferentes facetas do mundo da construção. De facto, a integração das categorias no prémio (Sustentabilidade e utilização inovadora do material – Arquitetura – Cidade e paisagem – Reabilitação – Arquitetura efémera – Design de interiores) tem por objetivo uma melhor valorização das ligações que unem o nosso trabalho de distribuidores de materiais, sempre dispostos a aconselhar e oferecer soluções para a construção, e, no sentido mais amplo, o mundo da arquitetura que se encontra na sua origem.

Grazie al sostegno e all’impegno della nostra insegna, con il passare delle edizioni, il premio suscita sempre più interesse in Europa, principalmente in tutti i paesi in cui siamo presenti. È motivo di grande orgoglio per il nostro gruppo, che grazie alla dimensione internazionale del Premio, gode di una relazione di speciale prossimità con gli architetti.

Graças ao apoio e à implicação da nossa empresa, edição após edição, o prémio suscita cada vez mais interesse a nível europeu, nomeadamente em todos os países nos quais estamos presentes. Um verdadeiro orgulho para o nosso grupo que, graças à dimensão internacional do Prémio, goza de uma real proximidade com os arquitetos.

Seguendo questa logica, non solo abbiamo inserito le categorie nella struttura del premio, ma abbiamo anche creato il Premio del Pubblico, che consente sia alla comunità degli architetti che al pubblico generale di esprimere le proprie preferenze fra i progetti selezionati nei vari paesi.

Foi nessa perspetiva que integrámos não só categorias na estrutura do prémio, como também criámos o Prémio do Público, permitindo dessa forma, à comunidade de arquitetos assim como ao público no sentido mais geral, expressar as suas preferências entre os projetos selecionados através dos países.

In ogni edizione, l’obiettivo del BMIAA è sempre lo stesso: offrire il nostro contributo al mondo dell’edilizia, consentendo la creazione di progetti di qualità. Costruire bene permette di aumentare il comfort e il benessere di tutti dal punto di vista sociale ed economico, consentendo al tempo stesso di lasciare un retaggio alle generazioni future.

Edição após edição, o objetivo do BMIAA mantém-se: contribuir com a nossa pedra à construção de projetos de qualidade. Construir bem favorece o conforto e o bem-estar de todos do ponto de vista social e económico, permitindo também deixar um legado às futuras gerações.

Ringraziamo tutti gli architetti che partecipano sempre più numerosi al nostro Premio, ma anche tutti coloro che sono coinvolti in questa realizzazione.

Gostávamos de agradecer a todos os arquitetos que participam cada vez mais no nosso Prémio, mas sobretudo a todas as pessoas e agentes implicados na sua realização.

BIGMAT MEDZINÁRODNÁ CENA ARCHITEKTÚRY

BIGMAT PREMIO INTERNACIONAL DE ARQUITECTURA

Po Granade a Berlíne, tretí ročník BigMat International Architecture Award vrcholí vo Florencii, ktorá je autentickým múzeom pod holým nebom a mýtickým miestom pre všetkých milovníkov umenia, histórie a architektúry.

Después de Granada y Berlín, la tercera edición del BigMat International Architecture Award culmina en Florencia, un auténtico museo a cielo abierto y lugar mítico para todos los amantes del arte, la historia y la arquitectura.

Kolíska talianskej Renesancie a neodškriepiteľné stredisko umeleckého vývoja. Ktoré iné mesto odráža obraz našej ceny lepšie ako Florencia?

Cuna del Renacimiento italiano y centro de evolución artística indiscutible, ¿qué mejor ciudad que Florencia para encarnar la imagen de nuestro Premio?

Tento rok sa cena rozšírila o účasť Slovenska: čo je príklad rastu a vývoja skupiny BigMat.

Este año, el Premio se ha ampliado con la participación de Eslovaquia: un ejemplo del crecimiento y la evolución del grupo BigMat.

Ide o ambicióznu architektonickú súťaž, ktorá sa v tomto ročníku rozvíja s novou štruktúrou a ktorá postupne venuje čoraz väčšiu pozornosť rôznym aspektom sveta stavebníctva.

Cieľom zahrnutia kategórií do ceny (udržateľnosť a inovačné použitie materiálov – architektúra – mesto a krajina – obnova – efemérna architektúra – interiérová architektúra) je posilniť prepojenie, ktoré spája našu profesiu ako distribútorov stavebných materiálov vždy pripravených poradiť a ponúknuť riešenia pre stavebníctvo a v širšom slova zmysle aj pre svet architektúry.

Každý nový ročník podporuje a rozširuje našu značku, vďaka čomu súťaž vzbudzuje veľký záujem na európskej úrovni, obzvlášť vo všetkých krajinách, kde pôsobíme. Pre našu skupinu je skutočnosť, že sa vďaka medzinárodnej dimenzii ceny približuje k architektom, dôvodom na hrdosť.

Touto dynamikou sme nielen integrovali kategórie do štruktúry ceny, ale tiež sme vytvorili Cenu verejnosti, ktorá umožňuje komunite architektov, ale aj širokej verejnosti vyjadriť svoje preferencie medzi projektami vybranými vo všetkých krajinách.

Cieľ BMIAA je v každej edícii rovnaký: prispieť svojou trochou do mlyna na výstavbu kvalitných projektov. Stavať profesionálne podporuje komfort a blahobyt z hľadiska sociálneho a ekonomického a zároveň umožňuje zanechať dedičstvo budúcim generáciám.

Chceme poďakovať všetkým architektom, ktorí sa každý rok do našej súťaže zapájajú, ale tiež všetkým zúčastneným a osobám, ktoré sú do projektu zapojené.

CLAUDE COUTANT PREDSEDKYŇA BIGMAT INTERNATIONAL

Un premio de arquitectura ambicioso, que evoluciona en esta edición con una nueva estructura y que cada vez presta una mayor atención a las distintas facetas del mundo de la construcción. De hecho, la integración de las categorías en el premio (Sostenibilidad y uso innovador de materiales – Arquitectura – Ciudad y paisaje – Rehabilitación – Arquitectura efímera – Interiorismo) tiene como objetivo reforzar el vínculo que une nuestra profesión como distribuidores de materiales de construcción dispuestos en todo momento a asesorar y ofrecer soluciones para la construcción, y en un sentido más amplio, al mundo de la arquitectura.

Gracias al apoyo y a la implicación de nuestra marca edición tras edición, el premio suscita un gran interés a nivel europeo, especialmente en todos los países en los que estamos presentes. Un auténtico orgullo para nuestro grupo que, gracias a la dimensión internacional del premio, se acerca a los arquitectos.

Con esta dinámica, no solo hemos integrado categorías en la estructura del premio, sino también hemos creado el Premio del público que permite a la comunidad de arquitectos y al gran público en un sentido amplio expresar sus preferencias entre los proyectos seleccionados en todos los países.

Edición tras edición, el objetivo del BMIAA sigue siendo el mismo: aportar nuestro grano de arena a la construcción de proyectos de calidad. Construir con profesionalidad favorece el confort y el bienestar desde los puntos de vista social y económico y asimismo dejar un legado a las siguientes generaciones.

Queremos dar las gracias a todos los arquitectos que participan en nuestro premio cada año, aunque también a todos los actores y personas implicadas en este proyecto.

JESÚS APARICIO PRESIDENT OF THE AWARD

A LEADING AWARD BIGMAT ’17 Conceived twelve years ago, this year marks the sixth incarnation of the biennial BigMat Architecture Award.

The competition is open to all architects, and this year’s event has attracted upwards of 850 entries from the seven eligible regions of Europe in which the BigMat Group operates, namely the Walloon Region of Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain.

Yet the success of this year’s prize has not only been in the numbers, but also in the quality of the entries. Many of the projects put forward were created by some of the most renowned architects operating within the eligible regions set out in the terms and conditions of the competition.

We could not have achieved so many high-quality entries over the years without the ongoing support of the BigMat Group, which is widely known for its outstanding intellectual autonomy, and without such a prestigious International Panel.

This year round, the panel I had the honour of presiding over comprised Marc Barani, Paulo David, Xaveer de Geyter, Francesco Isidori and Henrieta Moravcíková.

Following careful thought, we short-listed thirteen essential works of architecture, all located in the various European countries eligible for the award. Works featuring all manner of budgets, concepts and uses. Works affecting both landscape and cityscape. Works enhancing existing architecture or forming new construction. Yet all of them without doubt hugely impressive examples of contemporary architecture.

8

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

BELGIUM The short-listed project for Belgium is a combination of building and square that accurately yet sensitively and freely resolves the problem of the tricky urban environment in which they now live.

CZECH REPUBLIC We have two finalists from the Czech Republic.

A prototype house in Posazavi featuring a self-supporting structure that can be prefabricated and erected on a sturdy rocky surface. The structure of the house is equally as impressive as its functional aspects. The other finalist is the Black Flying House; an hugely original hanging room that can be installed in a number of different ways and which in this case is installed under an existing railway arch.

FRANCE France has contributed three finalists to the 2017 edition of the BigMat International Architecture Award. The first of these is the FRAC building. The panel held a positive view of the creator’s decision not to restore, but rather duplicate and remodel an existing industrial facility, maintaining the volume and size of the existing building to therefore double the amount of available space. The second finalist is the Public Condenser building. Here the panel was swayed by the functional integration or condensing of public activities within the building, made possible thanks to a structure that elegantly superimposes the different spaces and activities.

ITALY Italy’s short-listed project is located in the city of Venice.

Here we have a courthouse featuring a dark and slender design, which the panel feels conveys the neutrality and elegance needed of an administrative building situated in an environment and city of such heritage and value

PORTUGAL Three finalists were selected from Portugal. The first of these, the Abade Pedrosa municipal museum in San Tirso, is a piece that blends seamlessly with the surrounding architecture while creating a break between the two buildings and deftly adding the intended functionality. The second finalist is House in Alfama, which paradoxically yet brilliantly combines the rotundity and sensitivity of its spaces, while integrating and making the building the unassuming protagonist of its neighbourhood. Last but not least from Portugal we have Arquipélago, a contemporary arts centre located in the Azores. Here the panel was impressed with the sensitivity shown in the design, which combines restoration with new construction work, leading, respectively, to a dark construction and another clad in white.

SLOVAKIA Moving the Slovakia, the short-listed project is a pedestrian bridge made from reinforced concrete, the design of which is a logical product of the function it serves and of the structure needed to create the work in the chosen material.

SPAIN Three of the short-listed projects were made in Spain.

The buildings come from different parts of the country and respond to different functional requirements relating to both the business world and the cultural realm. The first of the projects is an electrical assembly workshop located in Extremadura, where we were impressed by the clever use of materials and geometry, the result being a place of work that is closed to the outside yet bright inside. The second of the Spanish finalists is a project that enhances a former convent in Seville, sensitively transforming its exterior while recovering the garden and plants across its various patios.

The third is a sprawling museum that further enhances Madrid’s most iconic cityscape known as “la Cornisa”, tying in beautifully with the existing Royal Palace.

UN PRIX DE RÉFÉRENCE BIGMAT ’17 Après douze ans de trajectoire, la biennale du Prix d’architecture BigMat atteint sa sixième édition.

Il s’agit d’un concours auquel les architectes peuvent se présenter librement, et ils l’ont fait en masse, en soumettant plus de 850 projets issus des sept pays d’Europe dans lesquels le groupe BigMat est présent et où se déroule le concours : Belgique (Région wallonne), République tchèque, France, Italie, Portugal, Slovaquie et Espagne.

En outre, le succès de ce concours n’a pas été que quantitatif, mais aussi qualitatif. Nous pouvons affirmer sans aucun doute que parmi les projets présentés, la majorité réalisée par les grands architectes des pays mentionnés, on retrouvait l’espace temporel défini dans le règlement du concours.

Nous n’aurions pas pu atteindre la qualité et la quantité de ce prix sans le soutien, d’une part, du groupe BigMat et de son respect pour l’autonomie intellectuelle, et d’autre part, des prestigieux membres du jury international des différentes éditions. À l’occasion de cette sixième édition, le jury que j’ai eu l’honneur de présider était composé de Marc Barani, Paulo David, Xaveer de Geyter, Francesco Isidori et Henrieta Moravčíková.

Le résultat : la sélection de treize œuvres architecturales indispensables, situées dans les pays d’Europe où le concours est organisé. Des œuvres aux budgets, concepts et usages en tout genre, des œuvres qui modifient le territoire et l’urbanisme, des œuvres intervenant sur des éléments déjà présents ou des œuvres nouvelles.

Dans tous les cas, de grandes œuvres de l’architecture contemporaine.

BELGIQUE Le projet finaliste belge est un ensemble composé d’un bâtiment et d’une place qui apporte une solution sensible, libre et précise au problème urbain de l’environnement dans lequel il s’insère.

RÉPUBLIQUE TCHÈQUE Deux projets finalistes ont été sélectionnés en République tchèque. Un prototype de maison à Posázaví qui propose une structure autoporteuse pouvant être préfabriquée et placée sur des éléments pierreux dans le paysage.

La structure est en parfaite harmonie avec la fonctionnalité de la maison. L’autre projet finaliste est la Black Flying House, une proposition originale de chambre pouvant être installée dans diverses circonstances, ici suspendue à une arcade préexistante.

FRANCE Trois finalistes français ont été retenus à l’occasion de l’édition 2017 du BigMat International Architecture Award.

Le premier d’entre eux est le bâtiment FRAC, pour lequel le jury a apprécié, en tant que solution à la réhabilitation,

10

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

la décision de dupliquer une salle existante avec des touches contemporaines et en maintenant le volume initial pour doubler ainsi l’espace disponible. Le deuxième projet est le bâtiment Public Condenser. Dans ce projet, le jury a salué l’intégration fonctionnelle d’activités publiques qui se condensent dans le bâtiment, rendue possible grâce à une structure qui permet gracieusement de superposer les espaces composant cette architecture.

ITALIE Le projet finaliste italien se trouve à Venise. Il s’agit d’un tribunal construit dans un volume sombre, svelte et strict, pour lequel le jury a apprécié l’apport de la neutralité et de l’élégance nécessaires à un bâtiment administratif entouré par un patrimoine d’une si grande valeur.

PORTUGAL Trois finalistes ont été sélectionnés au Portugal. L’un d’entre eux est le musée municipal Abade Pedrosa de San Tirso. Il s’agit d’une pièce sagement intégrée au site monumental pour servir de césure entre les pièces tout en constituant une solution fonctionnelle. Le deuxième projet finaliste est la maison à Alfama, une résidence qui combine paradoxalement, mais avec brio, la netteté et la sensibilité de ses espaces avec l’intégration et le protagonisme de sa silhouette par rapport au quartier dans lequel elle se trouve.

Le troisième projet finaliste du Portugal est Arquipélago, un centre d’art contemporain aux Açores. Dans ce projet, le jury a apprécié la sensibilité de l’intervention qui combine la restauration et la nouvelle construction, ce qui se traduit respectivement par l’architecture d’une construction sombre avec une annexe blanche.

SLOVAQUIE En Slovaquie, le projet finaliste est un pont piéton en béton armé, dont le tracé suit logiquement la fonction à offrir et la structure nécessaire pour le réaliser dans ce matériau.

ESPAGNE Trois projets finalistes sont espagnols. Les œuvres se trouvent dans différentes régions d’Espagne et répondent à divers besoins fonctionnels liés à la production professionnelle et à la culture. Le premier projet est un atelier d’assemblage électrique situé en Estrémadure.

On y observe une utilisation précise du matériel et de la géométrie pour définir un lieu de travail hermétique à l’extérieur et lumineux à l’intérieur. Le deuxième finaliste espagnol est un projet qui consolide un ancien couvent à Séville en transformant son extérieur à l’aide d’une simple récupération du jardin et de la végétation existante dans ses cours. Le troisième finaliste est un grand musée qui vient compléter la corniche madrilène en dialoguant avec le Palais royal préexistant et en contribuant à former ce profil caractéristique de la ville.

REFERENČNÍ CENA BIGMAT ’17 Po dvanácti letech existence Cena za architekturu BigMat, pořádaná každé dva roky, vstupuje do šestého ročníku.

Jedná se o soutěž, do které se mohou volně přihlásit architekti pocházející ze sedmi evropských zemí, kde má skupina BigMat zastoupení - Valonsko v Belgii, Česká republika, Francie, Itálie, Portugalsko, Slovensko a Španělsko.

Letos je do soutěže přihlášeno více než 850 projektů. Úspěch tohoto ročníku je nejen kvantitativní, ale i kvalitativní. Je možné konstatovat, že mezi předloženými projekty jsou díla realizovaná významnými architekty v daných oblastech a v časovém období definovaném soutěží.

Nebylo by možné dosáhnout této kvality a kvantity bez pomoci Skupiny BigMat a jejího respektu vůči intelektuální nezávislosti, a zároveň bez vysoké prestiže členů mezinárodní poroty, kteří se zúčastnili jednotlivých ročníků.

Tento rok v porotě, které mám tu čest předsedat, zasedli Marc Barani, Paulo David, Xaveer de Geyter, Francesco Isidori a Henrieta Moravčíková.

Výsledkem je výběr třinácti architektonických děl, umístěných v evropských zemích, které se Ceny účastní.

Jedná se o díla různých rozpočtů, konceptů a účelu. Díla, která ovlivňují dané území a město. Díla, která se týkají již existujícího, nebo jsou zcela novým počinem. U všech je ale možné říci, že se jedná o velká díla soudobé architektury.

ITÁLIE Italský finálový projekt se nachází v Benátkách. Jedná se o soudní budovu postavenou ve tmavém, štíhlém a strohém stylu. Porota ocenila neutralitu a eleganci potřebnou pro správní budovu umístěnou v prostředí s tak vysokou památkovou hodnotou.

PORTUGALSKO Za Portugalsko byly vybrány tři finálové projekty. Jedním z nich Městské muzeum Abade Pedrosa v San Tirso.

Jedná se o dílo, které je velmi moudře začleněno do Monumentálního celku, a jež slouží jako předěl mezi jednotlivými částmi. Zároveň dobře řeší funkci, ke které je určeno. Dalším finálovým projektem je dům v Alfama, obydlí, kde se paradoxně dokonale snoubí energičnost a citlivost prostoru, stejně jako integrace a hlavní role díla ve čtvrti, kde se nachází. Posledním portugalským finálovým projektem je Arquipélago, centrum soudobého umění na Azorech. U tohoto projektu porota ocenila citlivost zásahu, ve kterém se kombinuje rekonstrukce a stavba nového podlaží. Výsledkem je tmavá architektonická stavba s bílým zakončením.

SLOVENSKO Na Slovensku je finálovým projektem pěší lávka z železobetonu, jejíž nárys je logickým důsledkem funkce, které má sloužit, a struktury potřebné pro realizaci z daného materiálu.

V tomto případě je zavěšen pod již existujícím rámem.

ŠPANĚLSKO Španělské finálové projekty jsou tři. Budovy se nacházejí v různých částech země a plní nejrůznější funkce, od podnikové výroby po kulturu. Prvním projektem je dílna elektrické montáže v Extremaduře. U té je třeba vyzdvihnout energické využití materiálu a geometrie, díky čemuž bylo vytvořeno pracovní místo zvenku hermeticky uzavřené a prosvětlené zevnitř. Druhý španělský finálový projekt se nachází ve starém konventu v Seville. Vnitřek byl citlivě přetvořen a byla zachována existující vegetace na dvorech. Třetím finálovým projektem je velké muzeum, které doplňuje madridské prostředí a navazuje dialog s dříve existujícím Královským palácem. Podílí se na vytvoření charakteristického profilu města.

UN PREMIO DI RIFERIMENTO BIGMAT ’17 Dopo un percorso di dodici anni, il Premio biennale BigMat di Architettura giunge alla sua sesta edizione.

Si tratta di un Premio a cui possono partecipare liberamente gli architetti, che lo hanno fatto numerosi, presentando oltre 850 progetti, provenienti dalle sette zone europee in cui è presente il gruppo BigMat e dov’è indetto il Premio (la Vallonia in Belgio, la Repubblica Ceca, la Francia, l’Italia, il Portogallo, la Slovacchia e la Spagna).

Tuttavia, il successo di quest’edizione non è stato solo quantitativo, bensì qualitativo. Si può affermare senza ombra di dubbio che fra i progetti presentati vi sono molte opere di grandi architetti, nella circoscrizione spaziotemporale definita dal regolamento del concorso.

Sarebbe da una parte impossibile raggiungere l’obiettivo qualitativo e quantitativo che ostenta il Premio senza il sostegno del Gruppo BigMat e il suo rispetto nei confronti dell’autonomia intellettuale del Premio, e dall’altra senza il notevole prestigio dei membri della Giuria Internazionale, nelle sue diverse edizioni.

In questa edizione, la Giuria che ho avuto l’onore di presiedere, è composta da Marc Barani, Paulo David, Xaveer de Geyter, Francesco Isidori e Henrieta Moravcíková.

Il risultato: la scelta di tredici opere architettoniche indispensabili, situate nei paesi europei del Premio.

Opere con diversi budget, concetti e usi. Opere che influenzano il territorio e la città. Opere che intervengono su elementi esistenti o completamente nuove. Ma di tutte si può affermare che sono grandi opere dell’architettura contemporanea.

BELGIO Il progetto finalista per il Belgio è l’insieme di un edificio e una piazza, che risolvono con sensibilità, libertà e precisione il problema urbano dell’area in cui si posizionano.

REPUBBLICA CECA I finalisti della Repubblica Ceca sono due. Un prototipo di casa a Posazavi, che propone una struttura auto-portante che si può prefabbricare, situata su elementi pietrosi nel paesaggio. La struttura della casa si muove all’unisono con il suo funzionamento. L’altro finalista è la Black Flying House, una proposta originale di abitazione, che può essere installata in diverse circostanze e che in questo caso è appesa sotto un cerchio preesistente.

FRANCIA La Francia ha ottenuto tre finalisti in questa edizione 2017 del Premio BigMat International Architecture Award.

Il primo è l’edificio FRAC.In esso la Giuria ha apprezzato, come alternativa a una ristrutturazione, la decisione di duplicare con un progetto contemporaneo, un capannone esistente, mantenendo il volume di quello precedente, e duplicando così lo spazio disponibile. Il secondo progetto

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

finalista è l’edificio Public Condenser. In questo progetto risaltano, secondo la Giuria, l’integrazione funzionale delle attività pubbliche condensate nell’edificio, elemento possibile grazie a una struttura che, con enorme bellezza, costruisce la sovrapposizione di spazi che costituiscono quest’architettura.

ITALIA Il progetto finalista dell’Italia si trova a Venezia. Si tratta di un tribunale, costruito in un volume scuro, snello e rigido, in cui la Giuria ha apprezzato il fatto che doti della necessaria neutralità ed eleganza un edificio amministrativo inserito in un ambiente dall’altissimo valore patrimoniale.

PORTOGALLO Per il Portogallo sono stati selezionati tre finalisti.

Uno di questi, il Museo Municipale de la Abade Pedrosa di San Tirso, è un’opera integrata con saggezza nel Gruppo Monumentale, fungendo da cesura fra i pezzi e al tempo stesso risolvendo con grande competenza la funzione per cui è stata pensata. Un altro progetto finalista è la casa di Alfama, un’abitazione in cui paradossalmente si uniscono in maniera brillante la rotondezza e la sensibilità degli spazi e l’integrazione e il protagonismo della sua figura rispetto al quartiere circostante. L’ultimo progetto finalista portoghese è Arquipélago, un Centro d’Arte Contemporanea nelle Azzorre. Di questo progetto la Giuria ha apprezzato la sensibilità dell’intervento, che unisce il restauro a una nuova opera, che si traducono rispettivamente in un’architettura dalla costruzione oscura e un’altra con rifinitura bianca.

SLOVACCHIA In Slovacchia il progetto finalista è un ponte pedonale in cemento armato, con un tracciato che è la conseguenza logica della funzione per cui è preposto e della struttura necessaria per svolgerla, con il materiale utilizzato.

SPAGNA Tre dei progetti finalisti sono spagnoli. Gli edifici si trovano in diverse parti della geografia e rispondono a diverse esigenze funzionali, legate alla produzione imprenditoriale e all’ambito culturale.Il primo progetto è un’officina per assemblaggi elettrici in Extremadura, in cui risalta l’uso armonico del materiale e della geometria, che lo definiscono come luogo di lavoro ermetico all’esterno e luminoso all’interno. Il secondo finalista spagnolo è un progetto che consolida un antico convento di Siviglia, trasformandone l’esterno con una sensibile operazione di recupero del giardino e della vegetazione presente nei suoi chiostri. Il terzo finalista è un museo di grandi dimensioni, che completa la cornice madrilena, dialogando con il preesistente Palazzo Reale e collaborando alla composizione di questo caratteristico profilo della città.

UM PRÉMIO DE REFERÊNCIA BIGMAT ’17 Após um percurso de doze anos, o Prémio bienal BigMat de Arquitetura chega à sua sexta edição.

Trata-se de um Prémio ao qual os arquitetos podem apresentar-se livremente, e fizeram-no de forma muito numerosa enviando mais de 850 projetos, provenientes das sete zonas da Europa, coincidentes com os locais em que o grupo BigMat tem presença, onde se convoca o Prémio -zona da Valónia, na Bélgica, República Checa, França, Itália, Portugal, Eslováquia e Espanha.

Mas o sucesso desta edição foi não só quantitativo, mas também qualitativo. É sem qualquer dúvida possível afirmar que, entre os projetos apresentados, a maioria foram realizados por muitos dos grandes arquitetos no limite de espaço e tempo definido nas bases do concurso.

Seria impossível ter atingido a qualidade e a quantidade que este prémio apresenta sem, por um lado, a ajuda do Grupo BigMat e respeito pela autonomia intelectual do mesmo e, por outro, o alto prestígio dos membros do Júri Internacional nas diferentes edições.

Nesta edição, o Júri que teve a honra de presidir foi comporto por Marc Barani, Paulo David, Xaveer de Geyter, Francesco Isidori e Henrieta Moravcíková.

O resultado, a escolha de treze obras indispensáveis de arquitetura, situadas nos países da Europa onde o prémio se estabelece. Obras que correspondem a todo o tipo de orçamento, conceito e utilização. Obras que afetam o território e a cidade. Obras que intervêm sobre o existente ou de nova construção. Mas de todas elas é possível afirmar que são grandes obras de arquitetura contemporânea.

BÉLGICA O projeto finalista da Bélgica é o conjunto de um edifício e uma praça que resolvem com sensibilidade, liberdade e precisão, o problema urbano do seu meio envolvente.

REPÚBLICA CHECA Os finalistas da República Checa são dois. Um protótipo de casa em Posazavi que propõe uma estrutura autoportante que pode ser pré-fabricada e colocada sobre elementos pétreos na paisagem. A estrutura da moradia resolve-se em uníssono com o funcionamento da casa.

O outro finalista é a Black Flying House, uma original proposta de moradia que pode ser instalada em diferentes circunstancias e que neste caso está colgada sob um aro pré-existente.

FRANÇA França teve três finalistas nesta edição 2017 do Prémio BigMat International Architecture Award. O primeiro deles é o edifício FRAC. Neste projeto, o Júri valorizou, como alternativa a uma reabilitação, a decisão de duplicar com traças contemporâneas um armazém existente, mantendo o volume que este define, duplicando assim o espaço disponível. O segundo projeto finalista é o edifício Public

Condenser. Neste projeto é de salientar, na opinião do júri, a integração funcional de atividades públicas que se condensam no edifício, questão tornada possível graças a uma estrutura que, com grande beleza, constrói a sobreposição de espaços que constituem esta arquitetura.

ITÁLIA O projeto finalista da Itália encontra-se situado na cidade de Veneza. Trata-se de um edifício de tribunais que se constrói num volume escuro, esbelto e estrito no qual o júri valorizou o facto de assim dotar de neutralidade e elegância, um edifício administrativo situado num local de grande valor patrimonial.

PORTUGAL De Portugal foram selecionados três finalistas. Um deles, o Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa em Santo Tirso, é uma peça que se integra com sabedoria no Conjunto Monumental, servindo de cesura entre as peças, ao mesmo tempo que resolve com solvência a função à qual se destina. Outro projeto finalista é a casa em Alfama, uma moradia que combina paradoxalmente com brilhantez a rotundidade e a simplicidade dos seus espaços, e a integração e o protagonismo da sua figura em relação ao bairro onde se encontra. O último projeto finalista português é chamado Arquipélago, um Centro de Artes Contemporâneas nos Açores. Em relação a este projeto, o júri valorizou a sensibilidade da intervenção na qual se combinam restauração e obra de nova construção, que se traduzem, respetivamente, numa arquitetura de construção escura e outra com acabamento branco.

ESLOVÁQUIA Na Eslováquia o projeto finalista é uma ponte pedonal em betão armado, cuja linha é consequência lógica da função que deve resolver e da estrutura necessária para realizá-la no material em que se constrói.

ESPANHA Dos projetos finalistas, três são de Espanha. Os edifícios encontram-se em diferentes pontos geográficos e respondem a diversas solicitações funcionais, que se referem à produção empresarial e ao âmbito cultural.

O primeiro dos projetos é um ateliê de montagem eletrónica na Extremadura, no qual é de salientar a utilização marcada do material e da geometria que permite a definição de um local de trabalho hermético ao exterior e luminoso no seu interior. O segundo dos finalistas espanhóis é um projeto que consolida um antigo convento em Sevilha, transformando o seu exterior com uma operação sensível que recupera o jardim e a vegetação existente nos seus pátios. O terceiro dos finalistas é um museu de grandes dimensões que vem completar a cornija madrilena, dialogando com o pré-existente Palácio Real e colaborando para conformar este característico perfil da cidade.

PRESTÍŽNA CENA BIGMAT ’17 Po dvanástich rokoch svojej púte cena architektúry BigMat, udeľovaná každé dva roky, dosiahla svoj šiesty ročník.

Ide o cenu, do ktorej sa môžu voľne prihlásiť všetci architekti. A spravili to vo veľkom počte. Bolo zaslaných viac ako 850 projektov pochádzajúcich zo siedmych zón Európy, v ktorých je skupina BigMat prítomná a v ktorých sa cena vyhlasuje: oblasť Valónska v Belgicku, Česká republika, Francúzsko, Taliansko, Portugalsko, Slovensko a Španielsko.

Avšak úspech tohto ročníka nebol iba kvantitatívny, ale aj kvalitatívny. Môžeme bez zaváhania vyhlásiť, že medzi predloženými projektami sa nachádzala väčšina projektov, ktoré sú vedené mnohými významnými architektmi časového a priestorového obvodu určeného podmienkami súťaže.

Dosiahnutá kvalita a kvantita, ktoré táto cena dosiahla by neboli možné bez podpory Skupiny BigMat a bez rešpektovania intelektuálnej nezávislosti súťaže na strane jednej a na strane druhej bez vysokej prestíže členov medzinárodnej poroty jednotlivých ročníkov.

V tomto ročníku, v ktorom som mal česť porote predsedať, túto tvorili: Marco Barani, Paulo David, Xaveer de Gyeter, Francesco Isidori a Henrieta Moravčíková.

Výsledkom je výber trinástich obligátnych architektonických diel, ktoré sú umiestnené v krajinách Európy, kde súťaž prebieha. Diela akéhokoľvek rozpočtu, koncepcie a využitia.

Diela, ktoré ovplyvňujú teritórium a mesto. Diela, ktoré predstavujú zásah do existujúcich prvkov alebo sú novo postavené. Ale o všetkých môžeme povedať, že ide o veľké diela súčasnej architektúry.

BELGICKO Záverečný belgický projekt je súbor budovy a námestia, ktorý citlivo, slobodne a presne rieši urbanistický problém okolia, do ktorého je zasadený. ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA V Českej republike sú dvaja finalisti. Prototyp domu v Posázaví, ktorý navrhuje samonosnú štruktúru, ktorá sa môže prefabrikovať, umiestnenú v krajine na kamenných prvkoch. Štruktúra domu je riešená zároveň s fungovaním domu. Druhým finalistom je Black Flying House, originálny návrh izby, ktorá môže byť inštalovaná za rôznych okolností a ktorá je v tomto prípade zavesená pod existujúcim oblúkom mosta.

FRANCÚZSKO Francúzsko malo v tomto ročníku 2017 Ceny BigMat International Architecture Award troch finalistov. Prvým je budova FRAC. Na ňom porota ocenila rozhodnutie zdvojnásobiť existujúcu halu súčasnými ťahmi ako alternatívu obnovy, pri zachovaní objemu, ktorý ju definuje, čím sa zdvojnásobuje priestor k dispozícii. Druhým záverečným projektom je budova Public Condenser. Porota je názoru, že pri tomto projekte treba vyzdvihnúť funkčné integrovanie verejných aktivít, ktoré sa sústreďujú v budove.

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

Toto je možné vďaka štruktúre, ktorá s veľkou krásou vytvára prekrývanie sa priestorov, ktoré túto architektúru tvoria.

TALIANSKO Taliansky záverečný projekt sa nachádza v Benátkach.

Ide o budovu súdu, ktorej stavba je tmavá, štíhla a striktná. Porota na projekte ocenila, že takýmto spôsobom administratívna budova, umiestnená vo vysoko hodnotnom okolí, vlastní potrebnú neutralitu a eleganciu.

PORTUGALSKO V Portugalsku boli vybraní traja finalisti. Jedným z nich je Mestské múzeum opáta Pedrosu v San Tirse. Ide o priestor, ktorý sa inteligentne začleňuje do monumentálneho celku.

Slúži ako prelom medzi jeho časťami a zároveň spoľahlivo rieši funkciu, na ktorú je určený. Ďalším záverečným projektom je dom v Alfame. Ide o príbytok, v ktorom sa paradoxne a brilantne kombinuje rozhodnosť a citlivosť jeho priestorov a integrácia a protagonizmus jeho siluety vo štvrti, kde sa nachádza. Posledným portugalským záverečným projektom je Arquipélago. Ide o Stredisko súčasného umenia na Azorských ostrovoch. Na tomto projekte porota ocenila citlivosť intervencie, ktorá kombinuje obnovu s novou výstavbou a ktorej výsledkom je jedna architektúra s tmavou výstavbou a jedna s bielym zakončením.

SLOVENSKO Na Slovensku je záverečným projektom peší most zo železobetónu, ktorého krivka je logickým dôsledkom funkcie, ktorú musí spĺňať a potrebnej štruktúry, aby ho bolo možné realizovať z vybraného stavebného materiálu. ŠPANIELSKO V Španielsku sú tri záverečné projekty. Budovy sa nachádzajú v rôznych miestach teritória a zodpovedajú rôznorodým funkčným požiadavkám priemyselnej výroby a kultúrnej oblasti. Prvý z projektov je dielňa elektrických komponentov v Extremadure. Na ňom treba vyzdvihnúť rozhodné použitie materiálov a geometrie, ktoré definujú pracovné miesto hermetické voči exteriéru a svetlé vo svojom interiéri. Druhým zo španielskych finalistov je projekt, ktorý spevňuje starý kláštor v Seville. Mení jeho vonkajšok citlivým zákrokom, ktorý obnovuje záhradu a zeleň jeho dvorov. Tretím z finalistov je múzeum veľkých rozmerov a ktoré dopĺňa rímsu Madridu v dialógu s Kráľovským palácom. Podieľa sa na tvorbe tohto charakteristického profilu mesta.

COMMENTS OF THE JURY

XAVEER DE GEYTER BELGIUM A Building-Square While this project might be modest and difficult to grasp at first instance, it triggers our attention for different reasons.

The first reason is its context. On the slopes of the Meuse River, a railway station was installed at the edge of the city it serves. The railway itself splits the lower, dense part from the upper, suburban neighborhood. The urban fabric below and above arehardly continuous. They are stuffed with voids and the edges of the railway itself are loose and undefined.

Not exactly a clear-cut urban situationwelcoming new developments.

The second reasonconcerns the nature of the project.

It is not just an architectural object, or a masterplan, or for that matter a clearly defined public space.

It is a trajectory that tries to address the existing situation and that sees its potential. It features squares, parking lots, play gardens and picnic areas. And as the topography is a major issue, it is crammed with stairs, slopes, elevators, banks, belvédères and a tunnel.

The only architectural object, a railway station pavillion, is physically dissected from the railroad but clearly a selfconscious, visual hingefor the project as a whole.

Yet the project is not only a trajectory. What you see is not what you get. Several new buildings are planned for the main square, together with the station pavillion. The planning of these is pretty unusual: while all the public space elements are there, the buildings around the square consisting of housing, shops andsocial equipmentare to come later. Public space as a catalyst for new planning.

The quality of the project lies in the physical revelation of the area’s potential, in contrast withmany architectural creations, which seemrather self-celebratory in their existence.

HENRIETA MORAVČÍKOVÁ CZECH REPUBLIC + SLOVAKIA Black Flying House Architecture studio H3T architekti has earned critical acclaim for its small, often temporary objects in public spaces. With their latest installation, the studio has again pursued a strategy of uncovering the hidden potential of a location through new and original enhancements.

The Black Flying House was erected in an abandoned military facility just outside the Czech city of Pardubice.

The wooden archetype of a house was left to hover under the arch of a dilapidated railway bridge, offering potential guests the look and feel of an emergency shelter. In its absurd position and location the seemingly trivial form

of the object acquired powerful social and environmental value. The work was subsequently taken down after 39 days as per the terms of the demolition warrant.

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi The prototype house built in a former granite quarry in the picturesque setting of the river Sázava is a further example of the long-lasting fascination of the A69 architecture studio in the family house design. It benefits from their previous experience with organic arrangement in an orthogonal sense and with the concept of transparency. The construction of the prototype also tests the phenomenon of reversibility. The timber frame of the house is erected on a steel load-distributing raft bedded on the rocks, which can easily be taken down and removed.

Beside this the prototype is intended as a poetic work that reflects the very finest in modernist aesthetics.

Footbridge Sulin The bridge crosses the river Poprad, the natural national border between Poland and Slovakia. It should help generate cross-border tourism in what is one of Europe’s most beautiful natural settings. The concrete, slightly vaulted bridge body with a brutalist surface reacts to the surrounding landscape and enhances it, just as stone bridges or castles have done in the past. The downto-earth character of the structure is underlined by the simple vertical grooves of the concrete body and the wooden cladding of the floor and inner railing. Balancing on the borderline between original and banal the creators of the bridge have succeeded in creating a piece of architecture in perfect harmony with this very (un) ordinary place.

MARC BARANI FRANCE MUOTO The building directly and effectively expresses and illustrates the energy contained in the process of planning this living and breathing space.

The vertical public space was conceived thanks to a subtle and clever arrangement of heavily glassed spaces.

This general sense of transparency makes the structure the centre of the project and affords it a potent and unmistakeable presence.

Eric Lapierre The structure provides a number of convincing solutions to the matter of tower blocks and high-rises.

Without doubt, this project is best described as an oxymoron: compact/bright, bars/flexible, rational/diverse, concrete/scalability.

A work there to serve its inhabitants, where the architect has wisely fused classic and modern culture.

COMMENTS OF THE JURY

17

Lacaton & Vassal This project is a perfect embodiment of the architects’ work: delivering more with less, blending rigour with poetry, multiplying the potential of a project.

The use of just one material, both for the roof and the interior cladding of the walls, makes the building all the more iconic and abstract, while giving it a timeless quality.

Their doctrine, combined with their incisive intelligence, has changed the traditional vision of the architect: it is better to expand a building than transform it if it then fails to live up to its new use.

PAULO DAVID PORTUGAL + SPAIN

Proposing a solution so far removed from the original question raised by the award is a cheeky and cold-blooded rethinking of the role of the architect; what they have done is reframe the question through the project, rather than merely responding to the question, thus appreciably expanding the range of possibilities and the potential for good answers.

By underlining the gulf between them, by building in the form of a distinct touch and position through construction of a new body that physically connects the two buildings.

By joining all times, exposing their subtleties.

FRANCESCO ISIDORI ITALY Un Monolite Archetipico This international award-winning project is essentially a blade grafted to the fascinating yet complex urban fabric of Venice. The building was completed in early 2013 and faces the Piazzale Roma, one of the city’s main hubs and the only access point for cars wanting to enter the City of Water.

The scale and size of the building can be appreciated from the sprawl of the adjoining square and from the imposing size of the San Marco car park nearby. Its simple and archetypal shape is the product of a clever take on the traditional styling of Venetian industrial buildings.

A gable spanning more than five metres looking on to Piazzale Roma marks the entrance: a dark shadow that attracts scores of people from the square to the sevenstory entrance lobby inside. The vast space, which is open to the public during the day, acts as a form of “urban entrance” lit from above, a typical feature of the city’s traditional industrial buildings. Inside, a long straight staircase lying parallel to the façade connects all levels of the building.

The building is completely clad in pre-oxidised sheets of copper, a material traditionally used in Venice to cover the roofs of all manner of institutional buildings (both religious and secular). In this project, materiality and form combine to become a metaphor for what is the institution: the courthouse serves as a large monolith bathing citizens in light as they traverse the building.

The panel chose this project because of its seamless integration within a complex urban setting, as it successfully fuses the traditional old warehouse styling with the stereometric volume of the multi-storey car park. Thanks to its slender and lithe design and its pitched roof profile, the work is a perfect grafting within its environment.

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa How can we relate different buildings with similar programs?

By replacing a small window, a tiny detail, a memory.

By re-inscribing the truth in the historical adjustment and reinterpreting the past to build another time.

When discovering the dialog between two architects that put in place two buildings communicating in time and in history, one perceives the sequencing in their decisions, even the most silent ones.

Casa em Alfama How can a small house in a place of the city of Lisbon re-inscribe the value of the site?

By responding in a precise and clear manner to an appealing program of revision, from the ability to reactivate the life value in reinforcing a centrality in the direction of a (new) place.

By incorporating, with the exact scale, lending integration and hospitality, sublimated by the material of its delicate, flat walls, that join the different times of this place.

By proposing a bedroom located in an extremely high position of the house, that poetically possesses a liquid moment, of an exclusivity with the sky, reinforcing seclusion in the densest place in the city.

Museu de Arte Contemporanea – Arquipélago How can one re-inscribe the value of a factory and prolong its physical morphology?

By finding a space between the new volumes to which character is given and a new design is defined for this place.

By adjusting the scaling and gently touching the preexistence, and not surpassing its limits.

By expressing the will to lay bare the weight of the volcanic materialization of this place, with new bodies built with apparent, smooth and dark concrete. By prolonging the mineral positioning and showing a differential tactile datum.

By investing and allowing the materiality to respond in a contrary way to its exterior, smooth and docile, seeking to accommodate a program for the unpredictability of the arts.

The BigMat International Architecture Award, through these three winning projects, shows by way of example the different fields of work of Portuguese architects with a persistent and rigorous posture of “building on the built-up”.

Royal Collection Museum How to refine the search for an invisibility?

By introducing a new body that affirms itself as a programmatic and material extension. By enabling a cross with the particularities of the royal palace.

By relating different times and re-inscribing the accuracy of the historical adjustment.

By sharpening the beauty of all times. By playing within the duality between the heavy and the light, the transparent and the opaque. By showing the dialog between nature and artifice, through a reduction of the environmental, individual and collective impact.

By intervening with the full awareness that rigorous rationality is the path to maximum flexibility. The proposal becomes clearer when living in an “inhabited retaining wall”, seeking, in this logic, to relate to the palace.

Consolidation of the Ancient Convent of Santa María de los Reyes How can we touch lightly in an intense place?

By intervening with a specific, careful and sensitive gesture, with awareness of the balance between action and resistance. By relating different actions to create a (new) time.

By discovering in the floor design the conditions for the creation of space. By highlighting its peculiarities,

even the most invisible ones. By delineating a mineral carpet featuring a junction of different stones and pieces of furniture that split between movement and permanence.

By serenely entering into dialog with the two times, and revisiting the rigor of historical accuracy. By living from textures that, as the wealth of this minimal intervention, enter into dialog with the history of both interventions.

Electrical Assembly Industry How to build a factory on an industrial site?

By refining the scale to offer integration and continuity, which are sublimated by the material of their surfaces.

By improving the materiality that, in this approach, seeks to resolve all situations by enveloping the building in single material.

By generating a courtyard that can contain the physical noise of factory life. By seeking an industrial approach that organizes factory management around a contained and rational space.

By meticulously harmonizing an economy of means in the execution of particularities. Appropriate a single material by denoting a distinct visual datum. By laying bare the lightness of the materialization, prolonging the hard and the strong, the rational and the industrialized.

The BigMat International Architecture Award, through these three winning projects, exalts the different and extensive field of work of Spanish architects with a surprising and passionate posture with respect to memory. The ability to find in history and, above all, in its valuation, an attractive posture for building in time.

COMMENTAIRES DU JURY

XAVEER DE GEYTER BELGIQUE A Building-Square Bien qu’à première vue, ce projet puisse sembler modeste et difficile à comprendre, il retient toutefois l’attention pour plusieurs raisons.

La première d’entre elles est son contexte. Sur les rives de la Meuse, une gare de train a été construite dans la banlieue de la ville qu’elle dessert. La voie ferrée sépare la partie inférieure, plus dense, de la zone supérieure et suburbaine. Le tissu urbain des deux zones, qui n’est pas homogène, est occupé par des vides. Même les extrémités de la voie sont imprécises et indéfinies.

Il ne s’agit pas vraiment d’une zone urbaine clairement ouverte à de nouveaux développements.

La deuxième raison relève de la nature du projet. Il ne s’agit pas d’un objet architectural, d’un plan directeur ou d’une zone publique clairement définie. Ce projet tente plutôt de gérer la situation existante et de prendre conscience de son potentiel. Il est constitué de places, de places de parking, de balançoires et d’aires de pique-nique. Par ailleurs, la topographie étant l’un des principaux problèmes, il comprend des escaliers, des pentes, des ascenseurs, des dénivelés, des belvédères et un tunnel.

Le seul objet architectural, le pavillon de la gare ferroviaire, est physiquement séparé des voies, bien qu’il s’agisse clairement et visuellement d’un point cardinal du projet en général.

Cependant, le projet n’est pas uniquement un parcours.

Il est beaucoup plus que ce dont il a l’air à première vue. Il est prévu de construire plusieurs nouveaux bâtiments qui formeront la place principale, avec le pavillon de la gare. La planification de cet ensemble est peu habituelle.

Tous les éléments de l’espace public sont en effet déjà présents, tandis que les bâtiments autour de la place, c’est-à-dire les logements, les magasins et les services sociaux, seront construits ultérieurement. L’espace public comme catalyseur d’un nouveau programme.

La qualité du projet réside dans l’exploitation physique du potentiel de la zone, en contraste avec de nombreux ouvrages architecturaux, qui semblent une allégorie de leur propre existence.

HENRIETA MORAVČÍKOVÁ RÉPUBLIQUE TCHÈQUE + SLOVAQUIE Black Flying House Studio H3T Architekti a bâti sa réputation sur la réalisation de petits objets souvent temporaires dans l’espace public. La stratégie de dévoiler le potentiel caché de l’espace à travers une nouvelle intervention se retrouve également dans sa dernière installation. La Black Flying

House est située dans une zone militaire abandonnée au bord de la ville tchèque de Pardubice. L’archétype d’une maison en bois suspendue à l’arcade des vestiges d’un pont ferroviaire et servant de refuge de secours aux éventuels hôtes. Dans une position et un emplacement absurdes, la forme banale de l’objet acquiert une puissante dimension socio-environnementale. L’œuvre a été retirée après 39 jours d’existence conformément à un permis de démolir.

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi Construit dans une ancienne carrière de granit au milieu du paysage pittoresque de la rivière Sázava, le prototype est le prolongement de l’intérêt de longue date des architectes d’A 69 dans la conception de maisons familiales.

L’œuvre bénéficie de leurs expériences précédentes en matière de développement de la disposition organique dans le cadre du schéma orthogonal ou en matière de transparence. Dernier élément, mais non des moindres, le phénomène de réversibilité testé dans la construction du prototype. Le pan de bois de la maison se dresse sur une structure de répartition de charge en acier à plat sur la roche afin de permettre un démontage et un retrait faciles. En outre, ce prototype est une œuvre poétique qui développe la plus grande tradition esthétique du modernisme.

Footbridge Sulin Le pont enjambe la rivière Poprad, la frontière naturelle entre la Pologne et la Slovaquie. L’œuvre se veut d’être un moteur du développement du tourisme transfrontalier dans l’un des plus beaux environnements naturels d’Europe.

Le corps du pont en béton légèrement voûté à la surface brute interagit dans le paysage et l’embellit, tout comme le faisaient jadis les ponts de pierre et les châteaux.

Le caractère terre à terre de la structure est accentué par les fentes verticales simples du corps en béton ainsi que par le revêtement en bois du sol et de la balustrade intérieure. En équilibre entre l’original et le banal, les auteurs de ce pont sont parvenus à créer une architecture parfaitement cohérente avec cet endroit (extra)ordinaire.

MARC BARANI FRANCE MUOTO Le bâtiment exprime et met en scène de façon directe et efficace, l’énergie contenue dans le programme de ce lieu de vie.

Le thème de l’espace public vertical prend corps grâce à un assemblage subtil d’espaces et de circulations largement vitrés.

Cette transparence générale met la structure au cœur du projet et lui permet d’exister comme un signal puissant et évident.

dans un espace lumineux.

Si le jury a choisi ce projet, c’est pour sa capacité à se greffer dans un espace urbain complexe, en résolvant la difficile du parking à étages. La forme planimétrique extrêmement allongée et le profil de la toiture à versants permettent contexte. L’utilisation d’un seul matériau, que ce soit pour la toiture ou pour le revêtement externe des murs, renforce l’aspect iconique et abstrait de l’intervention, en créant à la fois une atmosphère hors du temps.

Leur doctrine couplée à une intelligence incisive, change la vision traditionnelle du patrimoine : il est plus juste de prévoir une extension pour un bâtiment que de le transformer lorsqu’il n’est pas adapté à sa nouvelle utilisation.

PAULO DAVID

Proposer une solution aussi éloignée de la question posée lors du concours, recentre avec culot et sang-froid le rôle de l’architecte ; il s’agit de reformuler par le projet la question posée plutôt que de se contenter d’y répondre, augmente sensiblement le champ des possibles et le potentiel de bonnes réponses.

des programmes semblables ?

FRANCESCO ISIDORI ITALIE Un Monolite Archetipico Vainqueur d’un concours international, le projet constitue une greffe dans la complexité du système urbain de la ville de Venise. Achevé début 2013, le bâtiment donne sur Piazzale Roma, lieu névralgique de Venise et seul point d’accès des automobiles à la cité lagunaire.

L’échelle et la dimension du bâtiment s’opposent au grand vide de l’esplanade d’en face et au volume imposant du parking à 7 étages San Marco. Sa forme simple et archétypique est le fruit d’une manipulation judicieuse de la typologie traditionnelle des bâtiments industriels vénitiens.

Un porte-à-faux de plus de cinq mètres orienté vers Piazzale Roma indique l’entrée : une ombre qui attire les flux de personnes de la place au hall intérieur pleine hauteur. Cet espace, librement accessible de jour, fait office d’« entrée urbaine » éclairée par le haut, à la manière des bâtiments industriels ; à l’intérieur, un long escalier linéaire, parallèle à la façade, distribue tous les niveaux.

Le bâtiment est entièrement revêtu de dalles en cuivre pré-oxydé. Dans la typologie vénitienne, le cuivre est le matériau utilisé pour couvrir toutes les toitures des bâtiments institutionnels (religieux et laïques).

Dans ce projet, la matérialité et la forme deviennent une métaphore de l’institution : la maison de la justice

KOMENTÁŘE POROTY

XAVEER DE GEYTER BELGIE A Building-Square Na první pohled může být tento projekt skromný a těžko pochopitelný. Z různých důvodů ale přitahuje naši pozornost.

Prvním důvodeme je jeho kontext. Na svazích řeky Meuse byla na okraji města instalována železniční stanice, která zde zajišťuje spojení. Samotná železnice rozděluje spodní, hustě osídlenou část, a horní část tvořenou příměstskými čtvrtěmi.

Uspořádání města pod a nad železnicí je velmi souvislé. Jsou plné dutin a okraje železnice jsou volné a nedefinované. Není zde žádný ostrý městský řez lákající nový rozvoj.

Druhý důvod se týká povahy projektu. Není to pouze architektonický objekt nebo masterplán, či za takovým účelem jasně definovaný veřejný prostor. Jedná se o trajektorii, která se snaží zaměřit na existující situaci a využít její potenciál. Figurují zde náměstí, parkovací plochy, hřiště a piknikové zóny. Největším problémem byla topografie, je zde plno schodů, svahů, výtahů, laviček, teras a tunel.

Jediný architektonický objekt, budova nádraží, je fyzicky oddělena od železnice, ale jasně nesmělá, vizuální kulisa pro projekt jako celek.

Takže projekt už není pouhou trajektorií. To, co vidíte, není to, čeho se vám dostane. Pro hlavní náměstí je vyprojektována řada nových budov, spolu s budovou nádraží. Plán těchto budov je velmi neobvyklý: existují zde všechny veřejné prostory, ale budovy okolo náměstí stávající z domů, obchodů a sociálního vybavení přibudou později. Veřejný prostor je zde pojat jako katalyzátor pro nové plánování.

Kvalita projektu spočívá na fyzickém odhalení potenciálu zóny v kontrastu s mnoha architektonickými výtvory, které ve své podstatě vypadají spíše jako oslava sebe sama.

zájmu architektů A 69 o design rodinných domů. Využívá jejich předchozích zkušeností ve smyslu vývoje organické dispozice v rámci ortogonálního systému nebo ve smyslu transparentnosti. V neposlední řadě je zkoumán fenomén reverzibility v konstrukci prototypu. Dřevěný rám domu je postaven na ocelovém nosiči rozdělujícím náklad, jenž je uložen na skalách a který lze snadno vyjmout a odstranit.

Kromě toho je prototyp poetické dílo, které rozvíjí nejlepší estetickou tradici modernismu.

Footbridge Sulin Most vede přes řeku Poprad, která tvoří přírodní hranici mezi Polskem a Slovenskem. Měl by být zdrojem přeshraničního rozvoje cestovního ruchu v jednom z nejkrásnějších evropských přírodních prostředí. Betonově mírně klenuté tělo mostu s brutalistickým povrchem reaguje na okolní krajinu a pozvedá ji podobně, jako to v minulosti činily kamenné mosty nebo hrady. Uzemňovací charakter konstrukce je zdůrazněn jednoduchými vertikálními drážkami betonového tělesa a dřevěným obložením podlahy a vnitřního zábradlí. Balancováním na hranici mezi originálností a banálností se autorům mostu podařilo vytvořit architekturu, která je dokonale v souladu s tímto (ne) obyčejným místem.

MARC BARANI FRANCIE MUOTO Budova vyjadřuje a přímo a účinně ukazuje energii obsaženou v programu tohoto místa.

Téma vertikálního veřejného prostoru dostává podobu díky subtilnímu spojení široce prosklených prostorů a dopravy.

Díky této celkové transparentnosti stojí v samém srdci projektu struktura a umožňuje mu existovat jako silný a jasný signál.

Black Flying House Studio H3T architekti získalo renomé díky realizaci malých, často dočasných, předmětů na veřejných místech. Strategii odhalit skrytý potenciál místa pomocí nového zásahu využili i ve svém posledním díle. Černý létající dům byl umístěn do opuštěného vojenského prostoru na okraji českého města Pardubice. Dřevěný archetyp domu se vznášel pod obloukem zříceného železničního mostu a nabídl potenciálnímu hostu standard nouzového úkrytu. Díky absurdní poloze a umístění získala triviální forma objektu silný sociálně-environmentální obsah. Práce byla odstraněna podle demoličního rozkazu po 39 dnech existence.

Nabídnout řešení tolik vzdálené otázce položené během soutěže vymezuje s určitou drzostí a chladnou hlavou roli architekta. Jde o to prostřednictvím projektu spíše reformulovat položenou otázku, než se spokojit s odpovědí.

Tím se citelně zvyšuje pole možného a potenciál dobrých odpovědí.

Un Monolite Archetipico Tento projekt, vítěz mezinárodní soutěže, je zasazen do komplexního městského systému v Benátkách. Budova, jejíž stavba byla dokončena na začátku roku 2013, se tyčí nad Piazzale Roma, ústředním místem Benátek a jediným přístupovým místem pro auta do benátské laguny.

Casa em Alfama

Velikost a rozměr budovy se měří v poměru k prázdnému prostoru náměstí, na které hledí, a obrovské budově parkoviště San Marco, které čítá sedm podlaží. Jednoduchá a archetypální forma je výsledkem moudré manipulace s tradiční typologií benátských průmyslových budov.

Vstup do budovy vystupuje ze zdi, je více než pět metrů vysoký a otočený směrem na Piazzale Roma: tmavý stín, který přitahuje davy lidí z náměstí do vestibulu budovy, v celé své výšce. Tento přes den volně přístupný prostor nahrazuje “městský vstup” osvětlený seshora, podobně jako u průmyslových budov. Uvnitř se nachází dlouhé lineární schodiště postavené paralelně k fasádě, jenž odděluje všechny úrovně.

Budova je plně pokryta deskami z preoxidované mědi. V benátské typologii je měď materiál, který se používá na obklady všech institucionálních budov (náboženských a laických). V tomto projektu se materiálnost a tvar stávají metaforou instituce: soudní palác je velkým monolitickým objemem, který vítá občany ve světlém prostoru.

Porota vybrala tento projekt pro jeho kapacitu začlenit se do komplexního městského prostředí a tím vyřešit obtížný vztah mezi starými továrnami a stereometrickým objemem několikapodlažního parkoviště. Díky mimořádně prodloužené planimetrii a vrstvenému profilu je toto dílo perfektně zasazeno do urbanistického kontextu, ve kterém se nachází. Použití jednotného materiálu jak pro střechu, tak pro vnější obklad zdí, posiluje ikonický a abstraktní aspekt díla a dodává mu na nadčasovosti.

Jak může malý dům na jednom místě v Lisabonu vrátit celému prostoru hodnotu?

Nabídnutím přesné a jasné odpovědi na projekt, který vyzývá k revizi, schopností reaktivovat prožitkovou hodnotu v úsilí dosáhnout centrálnosti směrem k (novému) místu.

Zapojením přesného měřítka, integrací a pohostinností, jež jsou zvýrazněny materiálem použitým na jemné, hladké zdi, které na tomto místě spojují různé doby.

Vyjádřením vůle ponechat odhalenou tíhu vulkanické materializace tohoto místa s novými prvky postavenými ze zdánlivého, hladkého a tmavého betonu. Prodloužením umístění minerálů a zdůrazněním rozličného doteku.

Schopnost najít v dějinách a zejména v jejich zhodnocení atraktivní postoj vůči dlouhodobým realizacím.

COMMENTI DELLA GIURIA

XAVEER DE GEYTER BELGIO A Building-Square Da una parte questo progetto può sembrare modesto e difficile da comprendere a prima vista, dall’altra però ha attirato la nostra attenzione per diversi motivi.

Il primo è il suo contesto. Sulle rive del fiume Meuse è stata costruita una stazione ferroviaria, ai limiti della città a cui offre servizio. La ferrovia stessa divide la parte inferiore e compatta della città, dai quartieri periferici superiori.

Il tessuto cittadino delle due aree non è omogeneo.

Entrambe le zone sono cosparse di vuoti e gli estremi stessi della ferrovia sono slegati e indefiniti. Non si tratta precisamente di una situazione urbana chiara, aperta a nuovi futuri sviluppi.

Il secondo motivo è la natura stessa del progetto. Non è semplicemente un oggetto architettonico, non è una planimetria maestra e nemmeno uno spazio pubblico chiaramente definito. È un percorso che cerca di affrontare la situazione esistente e che ne coglie le potenzialità. È composto di piazze, parcheggi, parchi giochi e zone attrezzate per picnic. Inoltre, poiché la topografia è uno dei problemi principali, è zeppo di scale, rampe, ascensori, pendii, belvedere e sottopassaggi.

L’unico oggetto architettonico, il padiglione della stazione ferroviaria, è stato fisicamente dissezionato dalla ferrovia, ma è chiaramente un consapevole punto cardinale di tutto il progetto.

Il progetto non consiste però solo nel percorso. C’è molto di più al di là di ciò che appare a prima vista. Sono in progetto numerosi nuovi edifici, che andranno a formare la piazza principale, insieme al padiglione della stazione.

La loro progettazione è decisamente insolita: al momento sono presenti tutti gli elementi dello spazio pubblico, ma più tardi seguiranno gli edifici intorno alla piazza, che saranno alloggi, negozi e strutture sociali. Lo spazio pubblico funge da catalizzatore per un nuovo programma.

La qualità di quest’opera giace nella rivelazione fisica delle potenzialità della zona, in contrasto con le tante opere architettoniche che sorgono solo come auto-celebrazione.

HENRIETA MORAVČÍKOVÁ REPUBBLICA CECA + SLOVACCHIA Black Flying House Lo Studio H3T architekti è noto per la realizzazione di piccole opere, spesso temporanee, negli spazi pubblici.

Anche la loro ultima opera segue la strategia di scoprire le potenzialità nascoste della piazza attraverso un nuovo intervento. La Black Flying House si trovava in una zona militare abbandonata, alla periferia della città ceca di Pardubice. L’archetipo ligneo di una casa oscillava sotto

l’arco di un ponte ferroviario in rovina e offriva al potenziale ospite il riparo di un ricovero d’emergenza. In questa posizione e ubicazione assurda, la forma triviale dell’oggetto acquisisce un potente contenuto socio-ambientale. L’opera è stata rimossa per via del mandato di demolizione, appena 39 giorni dopo la sua installazione.

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi Il prototipo costruito nella vecchia cava di granito, nel pittoresco paesaggio del fiume Sázava, è il prolungamento del persistente interesse degli architetti dello studio A 69 nella progettazione di abitazioni familiari.

Sfrutta le loro precedenti esperienze nello sviluppo di disposizioni organiche nel quadro dello schema ortogonale o della trasparenza. È infine importante menzionare anche il fenomeno della reversibilità, testato nella costruzione del prototipo. Il telaio in legno della casa è eretto sulla zattera di distribuzione in acciaio, appoggiata sulle rocce, che può essere facilmente smontata e rimossa. Al di là di questo prototipo, vi è un lavoro poetico che sviluppa la migliore tradizione estetica del modernismo.

Footbridge Sulin Il ponte attraversa il fiume Poprad, che rappresenta una frontiera nazionale naturale fra la Polonia e la Slovacchia.

Deve fungere da catalizzatore per lo sviluppo del turismo transfrontaliero in una delle aree naturali più belle d’Europa. Questo ponte in calcestruzzo, leggermente a volta, dalla superficie brutalista, reagisce al paesaggio circostante e lo migliora, come facevano i ponti o i castelli in pietra nel passato. Il carattere pratico della struttura è sottolineato dai semplici solchi verticali del corpo in calcestruzzo e dal rivestimento in legno del pavimento e della staccionata interna. A cavallo e in equilibrio fra l’originalità e la banalità, gli autori del ponte sono riusciti a creare un’architettura perfettamente in linea con questo luogo (non)ordinario.

MARC BARANI FRANCIA MUOTO L’edificio esprime e allestisce in modo diretto ed efficace l’energia contenuta nel progetto di questo luogo di vita.

Il concetto dello spazio pubblico verticale prende vita grazie a un sottile assemblaggio di spazi e di circolazioni ampiamente vetrati.

Questa generale trasparenza pone la struttura al centro del progetto, consentendole di esistere come segnale chiaro e potente.

Eric Lapierre Quest’opera propone un insieme di soluzioni pertinenti e convincenti sul concetto di edificio denso di appartamenti.

COMMENTS OF THE JURY

L’ossimoro è senza dubbio la figura retorica che meglio potrebbe descrivere questo progetto: densità/luce, schema/ flessibilità, razionalità/diversità, cemento/evoluzione.

Un’opera al servizio dei cittadini, in cui l’architetto combina saggiamente la cultura classica e quella moderna.

Lacaton & Vassal Si tratta di un progetto emblematico del lavoro di questi architetti: offrire di più con meno, amalgamare rigore e poesia, decuplicare le potenzialità di un progetto.

La loro dottrina, abbinata a un’intelligenza incisiva, cambia la visione tradizionale del patrimonio: è più giusto prevedere l’estensione di un edificio, piuttosto che trasformarlo quando non è idoneo al suo nuovo uso.

Proporre una soluzione così lontana dalla richiesta del concorso ridefinisce, con faccia tosta e sangue freddo, il ruolo dell’architetto. Si tratta di riformulare tale richiesta mediante il progetto, anziché accontentarsi di rispondere, aumentando sensibilmente il campo delle possibili e potenziali buone risposte.

FRANCESCO ISIDORI ITALIA Un Monolite Archetipico Il progetto, risultato vincitore di un concorso internazionale, si configura come un innesto nel complesso sistema urbano della città di Venezia. L’edificio, completato all’inizio del 2013, affaccia su Piazzale Roma, luogo nevralgico di Venezia, unico punto di accesso delle automobili alla città lagunare.

La scala e la dimensione dell’edificio si misurano con il grande vuoto del piazzale antistante e con l’imponente volume del parcheggio San Marco altro 7 piani. La sua forma semplice e archetipica è il risultato di una sapiente manipolazione della tipologia tradizionale degli edifici industriali veneziani.

Un aggetto di oltre cinque metri rivolto verso Piazzale Roma segna l’ingresso: un’ombra scura che attrae i flussi delle persone dalla piazza fin nell’atrio interno a tutta altezza.

Questo spazio, liberamente accessibile durante il giorno, funge da “ingresso urbano” illuminato dall’alto così come avviene negli edifici industriali; all’interno, una lunga scala lineare, parallela alla facciata, distribuisce tutti i livelli.

L’edificio è completamente rivestito in lastre di rame preossidato. Il rame, nella tipologia veneziana, è il materiale con cui sono rivestiti tutte le coperture degli edifici istituzionali (religiosi e laici). In questo progetto la materialità e la forma diventano una metafora dell’istituzione: la casa della giustizia è un grande volume monolitico che accoglie i cittadini in uno spazio luminoso.

La giuria ha scelto questo progetto per la sua capacità di innestarsi in un brano urbano complesso, risolvendo

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

la difficile relazione tra le vecchie fabbriche e il volume stereometrico del parcheggio multipiano. La forma planimetrica estremamente allungata e il profilo a falde della copertura, rendono l’inserimento nel sito perfettamente congruo con il contesto. L’utilizzo di un unico materiale, sia per la copertura che per il rivestimento esterno delle pareti, rafforza l’aspetto iconico e astratto dell’intervento, restituendo allo stesso tempo un’atmosfera senza tempo.

PAULO DAVID PORTOGALLO + SPAGNA Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa Come mettere in relazione diversi edifici con programmi simili?

Sottolineando il vuoto che li separa, costruendo una forma con tocchi e posizioni diversi, attraverso l’edificazione di un corpo nuovo, che collega fisicamente i due edifici.

Unendo tutti i tempi, evidenziando le loro sfumature.

Sostituendo una piccola finestra, un minimo dettaglio, un ricordo. Riscrivendo la verità nell’adeguamento storico e reinterpretando il passato, per costruire un altro tempo.

Scoprendo il dialogo fra due architetti, che posizionano gli edifici comunicanti, nel tempo e nella storia, si percepisce il sovrapporsi delle loro decisioni, anche di quelle più silenziose.

Casa em Alfama Come può una casetta in un angolo di Lisbona attribuire al luogo un nuovo valore?

Rispondendo in maniera chiara e precisa a un programma interessante, per la sua capacità di riattivare un valore del vissuto, nel sostegno della centralità verso un (nuovo) luogo.

Inserendo a esatta scala, offrendo integrazione e ospitalità, sublimata dalla materia delle sue delicate pareti lisce, che raccolgono le diverse epoche di questo luogo.

Proponendo una stanza che si trova molto in alto nella casa, che dispone poeticamente di un momento liquido, di esclusività con il cielo, rafforzando il raccoglimento in un luogo denso della città.

Museu de Arte Contemporanea – Arquipélago Come reinterpretare il valore di una fabbrica e prolungarne la morfologia fisica?

Trovando uno spazio fra i nuovi volumi, che acquisisce carattere e si definisce come il nuovo design di questo luogo. Adeguando la scala e toccando leggermente la preesistenza, senza superarne i limiti.

Esprimendo la volontà di denudare il peso della materializzazione vulcanica di questo luogo, con i nuovi corpi edificati in cemento trasparente, liscio e scuro.

Prolungando il posizionamento minerale ed evidenziando un dato tattile differenziato.

Mettendo in relazione le diverse azioni, per creare un tempo (nuovo).

Invertire e consentire che la materialità risponda contrariamente al suo esterno, liscio e docile, cercando di accogliere un programma per l’imprevedibilità delle arti.

Scoprendo nel progetto del suolo le circostanze per la creazione dello spazio. Evidenziandone i dettagli, anche quelli più invisibili. Delineando un tappeto minerale su cui s’incrociano diverse pietre ed elementi del mobilio, che si dividono fra il percorso e la permanenza.

Il BigMat International Architecture Award, attraverso i tre progetti qui premiati, mostra in maniera esemplare il diverso campo di lavoro degli architetti portoghesi, con una persistente e rigorosa posizione sul “costruire nel costruito”.

Royal Collection Museum Come perfezionare la ricerca dell’invisibilità?

Inserendo un nuovo corpo, che si afferma come estensione programmatica e materiale. Favorendo l’incrocio con le specificità del palazzo reale. Mettendo in relazione i diversi tempi e riscrivendo l’esattezza dell’adeguamento storico.

Rivelando la bellezza di tutti i tempi. Giocando con la dualità fra pesante e leggero, trasparente e opaco.

Mostrando il dialogo fra la natura e l’artificiosità, attraverso la riduzione dell’impatto ambientale, individuale e collettivo.

Intervenendo pienamente consapevoli del fatto che attraverso una razionalità rigorosa si ottiene la massima flessibilità. La proposta si chiarisce vivendo in un “muro di contenzione abitato”, cercando in questa logica il rapporto con il palazzo.

Consolidation of the Ancient Convent of Santa María de los Reyes Come offrire leggeri ritocchi in un luogo intenso?

Intervenendo con un gesto preciso, attento e sensibile, consapevole dell’equilibrio fra l’azione e la resistenza.

Dialogando serenamente con le due epoche, rivisitando il rigore dell’abilità storica. Vivere delle tessiture che sono la ricchezza di questo intervento minimo, dialogando con la storia di entrambi gli interventi.

Electrical Assembly Industry Come creare una fabbrica in una zona industriale?

Perfezionando la scala per offrire integrazione e continuità, sublimate dalla materia delle loro superfici. Migliorando la materialità che in questo approccio mira a risolvere tutte le situazioni, avvolgendo l’edificio con un solo materiale.

Creando un cortile che consente di contenere il rumore fisico della vita della fabbrica. Cercando un approccio industriale, che organizza la gestione della fabbrica intorno a uno spazio contenuto e razionale.

Armonizzando meticolosamente il risparmio di mezzi nell’esecuzione delle specificità. Impadronirsi di un solo materiale, evidenziando un dato visivo diverso. Lasciando visibile la leggerezza della materializzazione, prolungando il posizionamento duro e forte, razionale e industrializzato.

Il BigMat International Architecture Award, con questi tre progetti premiati, esalta il diverso e ampio campo di lavoro degli architetti spagnoli, in un sorprendente e appassionante atteggiamento di rispetto verso la memoria. La capacità di trovare nella storia e soprattutto nella sua esaltazione, un posizionamento attraente del costruire nel tempo.

COMENTÁRIOS DO JÚRI

XAVEER DE GEYTER BÉLGICA A Building-Square Embora este projeto possa parecer modesto e difícil de perceber à primeira vista, chama, no entendo, a atenção por diferentes razões.

A primeira razão é o contexto. Nas margens do Meuse, foi construída uma estação de comboio nos arredores da cidade à qual dá serviço. A via ferroviária divide a parte inferior e mais densa da zona superior e suburbana.

O tecido urbano das duas zonas não é homogéneo. É preenchido com vazios. Mesmo as extremidades da via são imprecisas e indefinidas. Não se trata precisamente de uma zona urbana claramente aberta a novos desenvolvimentos.

A segunda razão refere-se à natureza do projeto. No se trata apenas de um objeto arquitetónico, de um plano mestre, ou de uma zona pública claramente definida.

Trata-se de um projeto que procura gerir a situação existente e consciente do seu potencial. É composto por praças, parques de estacionamento, balancés e zonas de piquenique. Além disso, como a topografia é um dos principais problemas, está cheio de escadas, declives, elevadores, desníveis, miradouros e um túnel.

O único objeto arquitetónico, o pavilhão da estação ferroviária, está dissecado fisicamente pelas vias, embora seja clara e visualmente um ponto cardinal do projeto em geral.

No entanto, o projeto não é apenas um percurso. É muito mais do que aquilo que parece à primeira vista. Está prevista a construção de vários edifícios novos que formarão a praça principal, juntamente com o pavilhão da estação.

A planificação de todo este conjunto é pouco usual: embora existam todos os elementos do espaço público, posteriormente serão construídos edifícios à volta da praça que serão habitações, lojas e serviços sociais. O espaço público como catalisador para um novo programa.

A qualidade do projeto está no aproveitamento físico do potencial da zona, em contraste com muitas obras arquitetónicas, que parecem uma alegoria da sua própria existência.

HENRIETA MORAVČÍKOVÁ REPÚBLICA CHECA + ESLOVÁQUIA Black Flying House O Studio H3T architekti ganhou fama pela realização de pequenos objetos, muitas vezes temporais, em zonas públicas. Na sua última obra, deu continuidade à estratégia de descobrir o potencial oculto de um local através de uma nova intervenção. A “black flying house” (casa voadora preta) estava situada numa zona militar abandonada

nos arredores da cidade checa de Pardubice. O arquétipo de madeira de uma casa ficava pendurado sob o arco da ponte ferroviárias destruída e oferecia ao potencial hóspede um refúgio de emergência. Numa posição e localização pouco habitual, a trivial forma do objeto adquiria uma forte componente socioambiental. A obra foi destruída após executar a ordem de demolição, 39 dias depois da sua criação.

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi O protótipo construído na antiga pedreira de granito no pitoresco panorama do rio Sávaza é uma continuidade do existente interesse dos arquitetos da A 69 pela conceção de habitações familiares. Baseia-se nas experiências prévias em desenvolvimento da disposição orgânica no esquema ortogonal e no seu sentido de transparência. E finalmente, embora não menos importante, ensaia-se o fenómeno de reversibilidade dentro da construção do protótipo.

A estrutura de madeira da casa ergue-se sobre uma base de aço encostada às pedras que distribui a carga, sendo simples retirá-la em parte. Além disso, o protótipo é uma obra poética que desenvolve a melhor tradição estética do modernismo.

Footbridge Sulin A ponte atravessa o rio Poprad, fronteira nacional natural entre a Polónia e a Eslováquia. Deveria servir de motor para o turismo transfronteiriço num dos locais naturais mais belos da Europa. O corpo da ponte em betão, ligeiramente abobadado e com uma superfície basta, reage perante a paisagem que o envolve e melhora, da mesma forma que os castelos ou pontes de pedra no passado. O caráter terrenal da estrutura é vincado com simples marcas verticais no corpo de betão e com o revestimento de madeira do solo e dos corrimões interiores. Equilibrando a sutil linha entre o original e o banal, os autores da ponte conseguiram criar uma arquitetura perfeitamente coerente com este local (pouco) ordinário.

MARC BARANI FRANÇA MUOTO O edifício expressa e ilustra de forma direta e eficaz, a energia contida no programa deste local de vida.

O tema do espaço público vertical é materializado graças a uma montagem subtil de espaços e de circulações amplamente envidraçados.

Esta transparência geral coloca a estrutura no coração do projeto e permite-lhe existir como sinal potente e evidente.

Eric Lapierre Esta operação propõe um conjunto de soluções pertinentes e convincentes sobre o tema do prédio de habitação espesso.

COMMENTS OF THE JURY

A figura do oximoro é sem dúvida a que melhor poderia descrever este projeto: espesso / luz, grelha / flexibilidade, racionalidade / diversidade, betão / escalabilidade.

Um trabalho ao serviço dos habitantes no qual a arquitetura combina habilmente cultura clássica e moderna.

Lacaton & Vassal Este projeto é emblemático do trabalho dos arquitetos: oferecer mais por menos, combinar rigor e poesia, multiplicar o potencial de um programa.

A sua doutrina associada a uma inteligência incisiva, altera a visão tradicional do património: é preferível prever a extensão de um prédio do que transformá-lo quando não se adapta a uma nova utilização.

Propor uma solução tão afastada da questão proposta no concurso volta a centrar com ousadia e sangue frio o papel do arquiteto. Trata-se de reformular através do projeto a questão colocada, em vez de se contentar de responder à mesma, aumentando sensivelmente o campo e o potencial das possíveis boas respostas.

FRANCESCO ISIDORI ITÁLIA Un Monolite Archetipico Este programa, vencedor de um concurso internacional, apresenta-se como um enxerto no complexo sistema urbano da cidade de Veneza. O edifício, cuja construção foi acabada no princípio do ano 2013, debruça-se sobre o Piazzale Roma, um ponto nevrálgico de Veneza e o único que dá acesso às viaturas à cidade da Laguna.

A escala e o tamanho do edifício contrastam com o grande vazio da praça para a qual está voltado e com o imponente volume do parque de estacionamento de San Marco, de 7 andares. A sua forma simples e arquetípica é o resultado de uma sabia manipulação da tipologia tradicional dos edifícios industriais venezianos.

Um cantiléver de mais de cinco metros virado para o Piazzale Roma indica a entrada: uma sombra escura que atrai os fluxos de pessoas da praça até ao vestíbulo interno, em toda a sua altura. Este espaço, de libre acesso durante o dia, faz as vezes de “entrada urbana” iluminada desde a parte superior, da mesma forma que os edifícios industriais.

No interior, uma comprida escada linear e paralela à fachada reparte todos os níveis.

O edifício está completamente coberto de chapas de cobre pré-oxidado. Na tipologia veneziana, o cobre é o material com o qual se cobrem todos os telhados dos edifícios institucionais (religiosos e laicos). Neste programa, a materialidade e a forma transformam-se em metáfora da instituição: a casa da justiça é um grande volume monolítico que acolhe os cidadãos num espaço luminoso.

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

O Júri escolheu este projeto pela sua capacidade de implantação num fragmento urbano complexo, resolvendo a difícil relação entre as antigas fábricas e o volume estereométrico do parque de estacionamento de vários andares. Graças à sua planimetria extremadamente comprida e ao perfil em camadas do telhado, esta obra insere-se no seu meio envolvente de forma perfeitamente congruente com o contexto. A utilização de um único material, tanto para o telhado como para o revestimento exterior das paredes, reforça o aspeto icónico e abstrato da obra, dando-lhe ao mesmo tempo, uma atmosfera intemporal.

PAULO DAVID PORTUGAL + ESPANHA Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa Como relacionar diferentes edifícios com programas semelhantes?

Sublinhando o vazio entre eles, construindo uma forma de toque e posição distintas através da construção de um corpo novo que conecta fisicamente com os dois edifícios. Agrafando os tempos todos, evidenciando as suas subtilidades.

Repondo uma pequena janela, um pequeno detalhe, uma memória. Reinscrevendo a verdade no ajuste histórico e reinterpretando o passado para construir um outro tempo.

Descobrindo o diálogo entre dois arquitectos que colocam os edifícios comunicantes, no tempo e na história, apercebe-se o escalonamento das suas decisões, mesmo as mais silenciosas.

Casa em Alfama Como pode uma pequena casa num lugar da cidade de Lisboa reinscrever o valor do sítio?

Respondendo de forma precisa e esclarecida a um programa apetecível de revisitar, pela capacidade de reactar um valor vivencial no reforço de uma centralidade para um (novo) lugar.

Incorporando com a escala exacta, conferindo integração e hospitalidade, sublimada pela matéria das suas delicadas paredes, lisas, que suturam os diferentes tempos deste lugar.

Propondo um quarto alagado num posicionamento altaneiro da casa, que dispõe poeticamente o momento líquido, numa exclusividade com o céu, reforça o retiro no lugar denso da cidade.

Museu de Arte Contemporanea – Arquipélago Como reescrever o valor de uma fábrica e prolongar a sua morfologia física.?

Encontrando um espaço entre os novos volumes ao qual se confere carácter e se define o novo desenho deste lugar.

Ajustando a escala e tocando levemente na pré-existência, não ultrapassando os seus limites.

Expressando a vontade de deixar a nu o peso da materialização vulcânica deste lugar, com os novos corpos construídos em betão aparente, liso e escuro. Prolongando o posicionamento mineral e evidenciando um dado táctil diferenciado.

Invertendo e possibilitando que a materialidade responda opostamente ao seu exterior, liso e dócil procurando acolher um programa para a imprevisibilidade das artes.

O BIG MAT internacional Architecture Award, através de três projectos aqui premiados, vem exemplarmente evidenciar o diferente campo de trabalho dos arquitectos portugueses para uma persistente e rigorosa postura do “construir no construído”.

Royal Collection Museum Como afinar a procura por uma invisibilidade?

Introduzindo um novo corpo que se afirma como uma extensão programática e matérica. Possibilitando o cruzamento com as particularidades do palácio real.

Relacionando os diferentes tempos e reinscrevendo a exatidão do ajuste histórico.

Acusando a beleza dos tempos, todos. Jogando na dualidade entre o pesado e leve, o transparente e o opaco.

Exibindo o diálogo entre a natureza e o artifício, através da redução do impacto ambiental, individual e coletivo.

Intervindo com um gesto pontual, cuidadoso e sensível consciente do equilíbrio entre a ação e a resistência.

Relacionando as diferentes ações para criar um (novo) tempo.

Descobrindo no desenho do chão as circunstâncias para a criação do espaço. Exibindo as suas particularidades, mesmo as mais invisíveis. Delineando um tapete mineral onde se cruzam diferentes pedras e elementos de mobiliário que se desdobram entre o percurso e a permanência.

Dialogando serenamente com os dois tempos, revisitando o rigor do acerto histórico. Vivendo das texturas que ao serem a riqueza desta intervenção mínima dialogam com a história de ambas as intervenções.

Electrical Assembly Industry Como fazer uma fábrica num lugar fabril?

Afinando a escala para conferir integração e continuidade, sublimadas pela matéria das suas superfícies.

Aperfeiçoando a materialidade que nesta abordagem procura resolver todas as situações envolvendo o edifício num único material.

Gerando um pátio que permite conter o ruído físico da vida fabril. Procurando por uma abordagem industrial, que organiza a gestão fabril em torno de um espaço contido e racional.

Harmonizando meticulosamente uma economia de meios na execução das particularidades. Apropriando-se de um único material denotando um dado visual distinto.

Deixando visível a leveza da materialização, prolongando o posicionamento duro e forte, racional e industrializado.

Intervindo com a plena consciência de que através de uma racionalidade rigorosa se consegue a máxima flexibilidade.

A proposta clarifica-se ao viver de um “muro de contenção habitado” procurando nesta lógica relacionar-se com o palácio.

Consolidation of the Ancient Convent of Santa María de los Reyes Como tocar leve num intenso lugar?

O BIG MAT internacional Architecture Award, através de três projectos aqui premiados, vem exaltar o diferente e extenso campo de trabalho dos arquitectos espanhóis para uma surpreendente e apaixonante postura relativamente à memória. Á capacidade de encontrar na história, e sobretudo na sua valorização, uma postura aliciante face ao construir no tempo.

KOMENTÁRE POROTY

XAVEER DE GEYTER BELGICKO A Building-Square Napriek tomu, že tento projekt sa na prvý pohľad môže zdať skromný a ťažko pochopiteľný, vzbudzuje pozornosť z rôznych dôvodov.

Prvým dôvodom je jeho kontext. Na brehu rieky Másy bola postavená železničná stanica na kraji mesta, ktorému slúži. Železničná trať rozdeľuje spodnú a hustejšiu časť od časti vrchnej a prímestskej. Mestské tkanivo oboch zón nie je homogénne. Vypĺňa sa prázdnom. Dokonca aj konce trate sú nepresné a nedefinované. Dozaista nejde o mestskú zónu, ktorá by bola jasná a otvorená ďalšiemu rozvoju.

Druhý dôvod referuje na druh projektu. Nejde iba o architektonický objekt alebo o majstrovský plán alebo o jasne definovanú verejnú zónu. Ide o projekt, ktorý sa snaží riešiť existujúcu situáciu a zároveň má snahu uvedomovať si, aký je jeho potenciál. Skladá z námestí, parkovacích miest, hojdačiek a rekreačných zón. Navyše, nakoľko topografia je jedným z hlavných problémov, je plný schodov, svahov, výťahov, rozdielov vo výškach, belvedérov a má jeden tunel.

Jediný architektonický objekt, pavilón železničnej stanice, je fyzicky preseknutý traťou, aj keď je jasným vizuálnym kardinálnym bodom celého projektu.

Avšak, projekt nie je iba dráha. Je omnoho viac ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Predpokladá sa výstavba viacerých nových budov, ktoré budú tvoriť hlavné námestie spolu so staničným pavilónom. Plánovanie celého tohto komplexu je málo bežné: aj keď existujú všetky prvky verejného priestoru, budovy okolo námestia budú postavené neskôr. Ide o byty, obchody a sociálne služby.

Verejný priestor slúži ako katalyzátor pre tento nový program.

Kvalita projektu spočíva v materiálnom využití potenciálu zóny, v kontraste s mnohými architektonickými dielami, ktoré sa javia ako alegória svojej vlastnej existencie.

HENRIETA MORAVČÍKOVÁ ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA+ SLOVENSKO Black Flying House Studio H3T architekti získalo svoje renomé vďaka realizácii malých objektov, často dočasných, na verejných priestranstvách. Vo svojom poslednom diele pokračovali v stratégii odhaľovať skrytý potenciál určitého miesta prostredníctvom novej intervencie. „Black flying house“ (čierny lietajúci dom) bol umiestnený v opustenej vojenskej zóne na periférii českého mesta Pardubice. Archetyp dreveného domu bol zavesený pod oblúkom zničeného železničného mosta a ponúkal prípadnému návštevníkovi núdzový prístrešok. Triviálna forma objektu vďaka

nezvyklému umiestneniu a lokalizácii získala silný sociálny a environmentálny obsah. Stavba bola zničená po vykonaní príkazu na demolíciu, 39 dní po jej vytvorení.

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi Prototyp postavený v starom žulovom kameňolome v pôvabnom okolí rieky Sázavy je pokračovaním existujúceho záujmu architektov A 69 o dizajn rodinných domov.

Vychádza z predošlých skúseností z rozvoja organického rozloženia v ortogonálnej schéme a z jeho zmyslu pre transparentnosť. A nakoniec, ale nie menej dôležité, dokazuje fenomén zvratnosti pri výstavbe prototypu.

Drevená štruktúra domu stojí na železnom základe, ktorý leží na kameňoch a rozkladá jej váhu. Vďaka základu je jednoduché rozobrať ho po častiach. Navyše, prototyp je poetickým dielom, ktoré rozvíja najlepšiu estetickú tradíciu secesie.

Footbridge Sulin Most prechádza cez rieku Poprad, ktorá je prírodnou hranicou medzi Poľskom a Slovenskom. Mal by slúžiť ako motor cezhraničného cestovného ruchu v jednej z najkrajších prírodných zón Európy. Telo mierne klenutého mostu zo železobetónu, spočívajúceho z jedinej jednoduchej hrubej plochy, reaguje na okolitú krajinu a vylepšuje ju rovnakým spôsobom ako to robili hrady alebo kamenné mosty v minulosti. Zemský charakter štruktúry je naznačený jednoduchými vertikálnymi značkami v tele železobetónu a vnútorným dreveným obkladom dlažby a zábradlia. Autorom sa vďaka dosiahnutej rovnováhe tenkej línie medzi originalitou a banálnosťou podarilo vytvoriť architektúru absolútne koherentnú s týmto (nie) bežným miestom.

MARC BARANI FRANCÚZSKO MUOTO Budova vyjadruje a priamo, jasne a účinne ilustruje energiu projektu tohto životného priestoru.

Vďaka citlivej montáži štedro zasklených priestorov a priechodov dostáva podobu motív vertikálneho verejného priestoru.

Celková transparentnosť určuje štruktúru ako jadro projektu a účinkuje ako mocná a zrejmá značka.

Eric Lapierre Tento projekt navrhuje súbor primeraných a presvedčivých riešení tematiky obytných blokov.

Bezpochyby, najlepšie by sme projekt opísali oxymoronom: hutný / svetlý, mreže / flexibilnosť, racionalita / heterogénnosť, betón / plastickosť.

Ide o dielo, ktoré je určené slúžiť bývajúcim, kde architekt rozumne kombinuje klasickú a modernú kultúru.

COMMENTS OF THE JURY

Lacaton & Vassal Ide o emblematický projekt práce architektov: ponúknuť čo najviac z mála, kombinovať prísnosť s poéziou, znásobiť potenciál programu.

Jeho doktrína spojená s ostrou inteligenciou mení tradičný pohľad na dedičstvo: je lepšie predvídať rozšírenie budovy ako ju transformovať, keď nevyhovuje novému použitiu.

Návrh riešenia, tak vzdialený otázke položenej v súťaži, drzo a chladnokrvne sústreďuje pozornosť na úlohu architektúry; ide o prehodnotenie položenej otázky prostredníctvom projektu namiesto uspokojenia sa s jej zodpovedaním, čím sa značne rozširuje pole možností a potenciál dobrých odpovedí.

FRANCESCO ISIDORI TALIANSKO Un Monolite Archetipico Tento program, ktorý už vyhral jednu medzinárodnú súťaž, sa prezentuje ako transplantát do zložitého komunálneho systému mesta Benátky. Budova, ktorej výstavba bola dokončená začiatkom roku 2013, nakúka na Piazzale Roma, neuralgické miesto Benátok a jediný prístupový bod pre autá do mesta lagúny.

Mierka a veľkosť budovy sa merajú s veľkou prázdnotou námestia, na ktoré pozerá a s impozantným objemom parkoviska San Marco, ktoré má 7 poschodí. Jej jednoduchá a archetypová forma je výsledkom múdrej manipulácie tradičnej typológie benátskych priemyselných budov.

Viac ako päť metrový previs, ktorý čelí Piazzale Roma označuje vstup: tmavý tieň, ktorý priťahuje tok ľudí z námestia do vnútorného vestibulu, v celej svojej výške. Tento priestor, voľne prístupný počas dňa, funguje ako „vstup do mesta“, osvietený zhora, tak ako to býva v priemyselných budovách. V jeho vnútri sa medzi všetkými úrovňami rozdeľuje dlhé lineárne schodisko paralelné s fasádou.

Celá budova je pokrytá doskami z preoxidovanej mede.

V benátskej typológii je meď materiál, ktorým sa pokrývajú všetky strechy oficiálnych budov (cirkevných aj laických).

V tomto programe sa vzhľad a forma menia na metaforu inštitúcie: dom spravodlivosti je veľkým monolitickým objemom, ktorý prijíma občanov vo svetlom priestore.

Porota vybrala tento projekt pre jeho kapacitu implantovať sa do zložitého mestského zlomku, vyriešiť náročný vzťah medzi pôvodnými fabrikami a stereometrickým objemom viacposchodového parkoviska. Vďaka svojmu prehnane predĺženému pôdorysu a viacvrstvovému profilu strechy, toto dielo sa zaraďuje do svojho okolia v úplnej kongruencii s kontextom. Použitie jediného materiálu, tak na strechu ako na vonkajšie obloženie stien, posilňuje ikonický a abstraktný vzhľad diela a zároveň mu dodáva nadčasovú atmosféru.

Zdôraznením prázdna medzi nimi, vytvorením formy, ktorá má odlišný nádych a postoj. Postavením nového telesa, ktoré sa fyzicky spája s oboma budovami. Spájaním všetkých časov, zdôraznením každej nuansy.

Obnovením jedného okienka, malého detailu, pamäte.

Znovu zapísaním pravdy do historickej úpravy a novou interpretáciou minulosti na vybudovanie inej doby.

Vďaka objaveniu dialógu medzi dvoma architektmi, ktorí umiestnili budovy komunikujúce v čase a v histórii, môžeme vnímať stupňovanie ich rozhodnutí, dokonca aj tých najtichších.

Casa em Alfama Ako môže malý dom umiestnený niekde v Lisabone transkribovať hodnotu miesta?

Tak, že dáva presnú a jasnú odpoveď na program, ktorý láka k jeho revízii, vzhľadom k svojej schopnosti reaktivovať obývaciu hodnotu posilnením centrálnosti na dosiahnutie (nového) priestoru.

Tak, že začleňuje s presnou mierkou, dosahujúc integráciu a pohostinnosť, sublimované hmotou so svojimi jemnými hladkými stenami, ktoré kombinujú rôzne doby v tomto priestore.

Tak, že navrhuje umiestnenie spálne vo veľmi vysokej polohe domu, ktorá poeticky disponuje tekutým momentom, exkluzívnosťou v nebi, posilňujúc odpočinok v tejto hustej lokalite mesta.

Museu de Arte Contemporanea – Arquipélago Ako zmeniť hodnotu fabriky a predĺžiť jej fyzickú morfológiu?

Nájdením priestoru medzi novými objemami, ktorému dodáme ráz a definujeme nový dizajn tohto miesta.

Upravením škály a miernym dotýkaním sa už existujúceho, bez toho, že by sa presiahli jeho limity.

Vyjadrením snahy nechať obnaženú váhu vuklanického spodobenia priestoru vďaka novým telesám postaveným z okázalého betónu, hladkého a tmavého. Predĺžením minerálneho umiestnenia a zdôraznením odlišného hmatového údaju.

Invertovať a dovoliť, aby hmotná podstata reagovala opačne ako jej vonkajšok, hladký a poddajný. Hľadať prijatie programu koncipovaného pre nepredvídavosť umenia.

BigMat International Architecture Award prostredníctvom týchto troch odmenených projektov ukážkovo dokazuje rôzne polia práce portugalských architektov, ktorých pretrvávajúci a striktný postoj je „stavať v postavenom“.

Royal Collection Museum Ako zdokonaliť hľadanie neviditeľnosti?

Tak, že sa vsunie nové teleso, ktoré sa bude javiť ako programové a hmotné predĺženie. Umožnením kríženia s osobitosťou kráľovského paláca. Vytváraním vzťahov medzi rôznymi časmi a prepisovaním presnosti historického nastavenia.

Tak, že sa zdôrazní krása všetkých dôb. Hraním sa s dualitou medzi ťažkým a ľahkým, priehľadným a matným.

Zviditeľnením dialógu medzi prírodou a umelým výtvorom, znížením dopadu na individuálne ako aj kolektívne prostredie.

Tak, že sa intervenuje s plným vedomím, že vďaka prísnej racionalite sa dosiahne maximálna flexibilita. Návrh pochopíme, keď si uvedomíme, že existuje v „obývanom ochrannom múre“ a vychádzajúc z tejto logiky hľadá nadviazať vzťah s palácom.

Consolidation of the Ancient Convent of Santa María de los Reyes Ako citlivo intervenovať v prenikavom priestore?

Tak, že sa intervencia realizuje len príležitostným gestom, citlivým a opatrným, s vedomím rovnováhy medzi akciou a odporom. Spájaním rôznych akcií na vytvorenie (nového) času.

Objavením okolností na vytvorenie priestoru v návrhu povrchu. Zvýraznením osobitností, aj tých najmenej viditeľných. Načrtnutím minerálneho koberca, kde sa križujú rôzne kamene s prvkami nábytku, ktoré sa rozdvojujú na cestu a na zotrvanie.

Kľudným dialógom s oboma dobami, s nahliadaním do úspešného prísneho historického riešenia. Žiť z textúr, ktoré vedú dialóg s príbehom obidvoch zákrokov, nakoľko bohatosť pri tomto zákroku je minimálna.

Electrical Assembly Industry Ako spraviť závod na výrobnom mieste?

Presným nastavením mierky, vďaka čomu je možné ponúknuť integráciu a kontinuitu, sublimované materiálom plôch. Zlepšením hmotnej podstaty, ktorej zámerom v tomto prístupe je vyriešiť všetky situácie obalením budovy jediným materiálom.

Vytvorením dvora, ktorý umožňuje zachytiť fyzický ruch výroby. Hľadaním priemyselného fokusu, ktorý organizuje výrobné riadenie v miernom a racionálnom priestore.

Dôkladnou harmonizáciou hospodárenia s prostriedkami pri realizácií jeho osobitostí. Zmocniť sa jediného materiálu, označením odlišného vizuálneho údaja. Odhalením ľahkosti realizácie vďaka predĺženiu tvrdého, silného, racionálneho a priemyselného umiestnenia.

BigMat International Architecture Award prostredníctvom týchto troch ocenených projektov vyzdvihuje rôznorodé a rozmerné pracovné pole španielskych architektov, ktorých postoj voči pamäti je prekvapujúci a strhujúci. Schopnosť nájsť v histórii – a najmä prostredníctvom jej valorizácie, atraktívny postoj k budovaniu v čase.

COMENTARIOS DEL JURADO

XAVEER DE GEYTER BÉLGICA A Building-Square Aunque este proyecto pudiera parecer modesto y difícil de entender a primera vista, sin embargo llama la atención por distintas razones.

La primera razón es su contexto. En las orillas del río Meuse, se construyó una estación de tren en la periferia de la ciudad a la que da servicio. La vía férrea divide la parte inferior y más densa de la zona superior y suburbana.

El tejido urbano de las dos zonas no es homogéneo.

Se rellena con vacíos. Incluso los extremos de la vía son imprecisos e indefinidos. No se trata precisamente de una zona urbana clara abierta a nuevos desarrollos.

La segunda razón hace referencia a la naturaleza del proyecto. No se trata solo de un objeto arquitectónico, o de un plan maestro, o de una zona pública claramente definida. Se trata de un proyecto que intenta gestionar la situación existente y ser consciente de su potencial.

Está compuesto de plazas, plazas de aparcamiento, columpios y zonas de picnic. Además, como la topografía es uno de los problemas principales, está repleto de escaleras, pendientes, ascensores, desniveles, belvederes y un túnel.

El único objeto arquitectónico, el pabellón de la estación ferroviaria, está físicamente diseccionado de las vías, aunque es clara y visualmente un punto cardinal del proyecto en general.

Sin embargo, el proyecto no es solo un recorrido. Es mucho más de lo que aparenta a simple vista. Está prevista la construcción de varios edificios nuevos que formarán la plaza principal, junto con el pabellón de la estación.

La planificación de todo este conjunto es poco usual: aunque existan todos los elementos del espacio público, posteriormente se construirán los edificios de alrededor de la plaza que son viviendas, tiendas y servicios sociales. El espacio público como catalizador para un nuevo programa.

La calidad del proyecto radica en el aprovechamiento físico del potencial de la zona, en contraste con muchas obras arquitectónicas, que parecen una alegoría de su propia existencia.

HENRIETA MORAVČÍKOVÁ REPÚBLICA CHECA + ESLOVAQUIA Black Flying House Studio H3T architekti ha ganado renombre por la realización de pequeños objetos, a menudo temporales, en zonas públicas. En su última obra, se ha continuado la estrategia de descubrir el potencial oculto de un lugar a través de una nueva intervención. La «black flying house» (casa voladora negra) estaba situada en una zona

militar abandonada en la periferia de la ciudad checa de Pardubice. El arquetipo de madera de una casa colgaba bajo el arco del puente ferroviario destruido y ofrecía al potencial huésped un refugio de emergencia.

En una posición y localización poco habitual, la trivial forma del objeto adquiría un fuerte contenido socioambiental.

La obra se destruyó tras ejecutar la orden de demolición 39 días después de su creación.

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi El prototipo construido en la antigua cantera de granito en el pintoresco entorno del río Sávaza es una continuación del existente interés de los arquitectos de A 69 en el diseño de viviendas familiares. Se basa en las experiencias previas sobre desarrollo de la disposición orgánica en el esquema ortogonal y sobre su sentido de transparencia. Y finalmente, aunque no por ello menos importante, se prueba el fenómeno de reversibilidad dentro de la construcción del prototipo. La estructura de madera de la casa se erige sobre una base de acero acostada en las rocas que distribuye la carga haciendo que fuera sencillo quitarla en partes. Además de esto, el prototipo es una obra poética que desarrolla la mejor tradición estética del modernismo.

Footbridge Sulin El puente cruza el río Poprad, frontera nacional natural entre Polonia y Eslovaquia. Debería servir de motor del turismo transfronterizo en uno de los emplazamientos naturales más bellos de Europa. El cuerpo del puente de hormigón ligeramente abovedado con una superficie basta reacciona ante el paisaje que lo rodea y lo mejora, al igual que los castillos o puentes de piedra en el pasado.

El carácter terrenal de la estructura se ve marcado con sencillas marcas verticales en el cuerpo del hormigón y con el revestimiento de madera del suelo y las barandillas por dentro. Equilibrando la sutil línea entre lo original y lo banal, los autores del puente lograron crear una arquitectura perfectamente coherente con este lugar (poco) ordinario.

MARC BARANI FRANCIA MUOTO El edificio expresa e ilustra de manera directa y eficaz la energía contenida en el planteamiento de este espacio de vida.

El tema del espacio público vertical se materializa gracias a un montaje sutil de espacios y de circulación ampliamente acristalados.

Esta transparencia general sitúa la estructura en el centro del proyecto y le permite existir como señal potente y evidente.

Eric Lapierre Esta operación propone un conjunto de soluciones apropiadas y convincentes sobre el tema de los bloques de viviendas.

COMMENTS OF THE JURY

41

Sin lugar a dudas, el oxímoron es lo que mejor describiría este proyecto: compacto / luz, rejilla / flexibilidad, racionalidad / diversidad, hormigón / escalabilidad.

Una obra al servicio de los habitantes donde el arquitecto combina sabiamente la cultura clásica y moderna.

Lacaton & Vassal Este proyecto es emblemático del trabajo de los arquitectos: ofrecer más con menos, combinar rigor y poesía, multiplicar el potencial de un programa.

Su doctrina unida a una inteligencia incisiva, cambia la visión tradicional del patrimonio: es preferible prever una ampliación para un edificio que transformarlo cuando no se adapta a su nuevo uso.

Proponer una solución tan alejada de la pregunta planteada durante el premio, recentra con descaro y sangre fría el papel de la arquitectura; se trata de reformular mediante el proyecto la pregunta planteada, en vez de contentarse con responderla, aumentando sensiblemente el campo de posibilidades y el potencial de buenas respuestas.

FRANCESCO ISIDORI ITALIA Un Monolite Archetipico Este programa, ganador de un concurso internacional, se presenta como un injerto en el complejo sistema urbano de la ciudad de Venecia. El edificio, cuya construcción se terminó a principios de 2013, se asoma al Piazzale Roma, un lugar neurálgico de Venecia y el único punto de acceso para los coches a la ciudad de la Laguna.

La escala y el tamaño del edificio se miden con el gran vacío de la plaza a la que mira y con el imponente volumen del aparcamiento de San Marco, con sus 7 alturas.

Su forma sencilla y arquetípica es el resultado de una sabia manipulación de la tipología tradicional de los edificios industriales venecianos.

Un voladizo de más de cinco metros encarado al Piazzale Roma indica la entrada: una sombra oscura que atrae a los flujos de personas desde la plaza hasta el vestíbulo interno, en toda su altura. Este espacio, de libre acceso durante el día, hace las veces de “entrada urbana” iluminada desde arriba, al igual que en los edificios industriales.

En su interior, una larga escalera lineal y paralela a la fachada reparte todos los niveles.

El edificio está completamente cubierto de planchas de cobre preoxidado. En la tipología veneciana, el cobre es el material con el que se recubren todas las cubiertas de los edificios institucionales (religiosos y laicos). En este programa, la materialidad y la forma se convierten en metáfora de la institución: la casa de la justicia es un gran volumen monolítico que acoge a los ciudadanos en un espacio luminoso.

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

El Jurado eligió este proyecto por su capacidad de implantarse en un fragmento urbano complejo, resolviendo la difícil relación entre las antiguas fábricas y el volumen estereométrico del aparcamiento de varios pisos. Gracias a su planimetría extremadamente alargada y al perfil en capas de la cubierta, esta obra se inserta en el entorno de manera perfectamente congruente con el contexto.

El uso de un único material, tanto para la cubierta como para el revestimiento exterior de las paredes, refuerza el aspecto icónico y abstracto de la obra, entregándole a la vez una atmósfera intemporal.

PAULO DAVID PORTUGAL + ESPAÑA Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa ¿Cómo relacionar diferentes edifícios con programas similares?

Subrayando el vacío entre ellos, construyendo una forma de toque y posición distintos a través de la construcción de un cuerpo nuevo que conecta físicamente con los dos edificios. Grapando los tiempos todos, evidenciando sus sutilidades.

Reponiendo una pequeña ventana, un pequeño detalle, una memoria. Reinscribiendo la verdad en el ajuste histórico y reinterpretando el pasado para construir otro tiempo.

Al descubrir el diálogo entre dos arquitectos que colocan los edificios comunicantes, en el tiempo y en la historia, se percibe el escalonamiento de sus decisiones, incluso las más silenciosas.

Casa em Alfama ¿Cómo puede una pequeña casa en un lugar de la ciudad de Lisboa reinscribir el valor del sitio?

Respondiendo de forma precisa y aclarada a un programa apetecible de revisar, por la capacidad de reactivar un valor vivencial en el refuerzo de una centralidad hacia un (nuevo) lugar.

Incorporando con la escala exacta, confiriendo integración y hospitalidad, sublimada por la materia de sus delicadas paredes, lisas, que sutura los diferentes tiempos de este lugar.

Proponiendo un cuarto inundado en un posicionamiento altísimo de la casa, que dispone poéticamente el momento líquido, en una exclusividad con el cielo, refuerza el retiro en el lugar denso de la ciudad.

Museu de Arte Contemporanea – Arquipélago ¿Cómo reescribir el valor de una fábrica y prolongar su morfología física?

Encontrando un espacio entre los nuevos volúmenes al que se confiere carácter y se define el nuevo diseño de este lugar. Ajustando la escala y tocando ligeramente en la preexistencia, no sobrepasando sus límites.

Expresando la voluntad de dejar a desnudo el peso de la materialización volcánica de este lugar, con los nuevos cuerpos construidos en hormigón aparente, liso y oscuro.

Prolongando el posicionamiento mineral y evidenciando un dado táctil diferenciado.

Invertir y posibilitar que la materialidad responda contrariamente a su exterior, liso y dócil buscando acoger un programa para la imprevisibilidad de las artes.

El BIG MAT internacional Architecture Award, a través de tres proyectos aquí premiados, viene ejemplarmente evidenciar el diferente campo de trabajo de los arquitectos portugueses para una persistente y rigurosa postura del “construir en el construido”.

Royal Collection Museum ¿Cómo afinar la búsqueda de una invisibilidad?

Introduciendo un nuevo cuerpo que se afirma como una extensión programática y material. Posibilitando el cruce con las particularidades del palacio real. Relacionando los diferentes tiempos y reinscribiendo la exactitud del ajuste histórico.

Acusando la belleza de los tiempos, todos. Jugando en la dualidad entre lo pesado y ligero, lo transparente y lo opaco.

Mostrando el diálogo entre la naturaleza y el artificio, a través de la reducción del impacto ambiental, individual y colectivo.

Interviniendo con la plena conciencia de que a través de una racionalidad rigurosa se logra la máxima flexibilidad.

La propuesta se aclara al vivir de un “muro de contención habitado” buscando en esta lógica relacionarse con el palacio.

Consolidation of the Ancient Convent of Santa María de los Reyes ¿Cómo tocar leve en un intenso lugar?

Interviniendo con un gesto puntual, cuidadoso y sensible consciente del equilibrio entre la acción y la resistencia.

Relacionando las diferentes acciones para crear un (nuevo) tiempo.

Descubriendo en el diseño del suelo las circunstancias para la creación del espacio. Viendo sus particularidades, incluso las más invisibles. Delineando una alfombra mineral donde se cruzan diferentes piedras y elementos de mobiliario que se desdoblan entre el recorrido y la permanencia.

Dialogando serenamente con los dos tiempos, revisitando el rigor del acierto histórico. Vivir de las texturas que al ser la riqueza de esta intervención mínima dialogan con la historia de ambas intervenciones.

Electrical Assembly Industry ¿Cómo hacer una fábrica en un lugar fabril?

Afinando la escala para conferir integración y continuidad, sublimadas por la materia de sus superficies. Mejorando la materialidad que en este enfoque busca resolver todas las situaciones envolviendo el edificio en un solo material.

Generando un patio que permite contener el ruido físico de la vida fabril. Buscando un enfoque industrial, que organiza la gestión fabril en torno a un espacio contenido y racional.

Armonizando meticulosamente una economía de medios en la ejecución de las particularidades. Apropiarse de un solo material denotando un dato visual distinto. Dejando visible la ligereza de la materialización, prolongando el posicionamiento duro y fuerte, racional e industrializado.

El BIG MAT Internacional Architecture Award, a través de tres proyectos aquí premiados, viene ejemplarmente a evidenciar el diferente y extenso campo de trabajo de los arquitectos españoles para una sorprendente y apasionante postura con respecto a la memoria. La capacidad de encontrar en la historia, y sobre todo en su valorización, una postura aliciente frente al construir en el tiempo.

Frac (Regional Contemporary Artwork Collection) of the North Region Lacaton & Vassal ARCHITECTURE

Project title Frac (Regional Contemporary Artwork Collection) of the North Region Location Dunkirk, France Completion 2013 Office Lacaton & Vassal www.lacatonvassal.com Authors Anne Lacaton, architect Jean-Philippe Vassal, architect Collaborators Secotrap (Structure, mechanical systems) Cesma (Metal Structure) VPEAS (cost) VulcanĂŠo (Fire security consultant) Florian De Pous (Chief project at Lacaton & Vassal) Type of work Public Photographs Philippe Ruault

The North region Frac is located on the site of Dunkirk port in an old boat warehouse called Halle AP2. The Halle AP2 is a singular and symbolic object. Its internal volume is immense, bright, impressive. Its potential for uses is exceptional.

To implement the FRAC as a catalyst for the new area, and also keep the Halle in its entirety is the basic idea of our project.

To achieve this concept, the project creates a double of the Halle, of the same dimension, attached to the existing building, on the side which faces the sea, and which contains the program of the FRAC. The new building juxtaposes delicately without competing nor fading. The duplication is the attentive response to the identity of the Halle.

Under a light and bioclimatic envelope, a prefabricated and efficient structure determines free, flexible and evolutionary platforms, with few constraints, fit to the needs of the program.

The transparency of the skin allows one to see the background vision of the opaque volume of the artworks reserves.

The public footbridge which crosses the building becomes a covered street entering the Halle and the internal facade of the FRAC. Tha Halle AP2 will remain a completely available space, which can work either with the FRAC, as an extension of its activities (exceptional temporary exhibitions, creation of large scale works, particular handlings) or independently to host public events (concerts, fairs, shows, circuses, sport) and which enriches the possibilities of the area.

The functioning of each of the buildings can be separate or combined.

The architecture of the Halle and its current quality make sufficient minimal, targeted and limited interventions.

Owing to the optimization of the project, the budget is sufficient for realization of the FRAC and the setting up of conditions and equipment for public use of the Halle AP2.

The project thus creates an ambitious public resource, of flexible capacity, which allows work at several scales from everyday exhibitions to large-scale artist events, of regional but also European and international resonance, which consolidates the revitalization of the port of Dunkirk.

A BUILDING-SQUARE MULTIPLE ARCHITECTURE & URBANISME

BIGMAT INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

NATIONAL PRIZE. BELGIUM

A Building-square Multiple Architecture & Urbanisme ARCHITECTURE

Project title A Building-square Location Herstal, Belgium Completion 2015 Office Multiple Architecture & Urbanisme www.multiple.be Authors Abdelmajid Boulaioun, architect Collaborators Livia de Bethune (SUM project) Jean-Philippe Jasienski (Multiple) Stéphane Massicot (Multiple) Marc Rouserez (Multiple) Ana Siwik (Multiple) Richard La (ARCADIS) Type of work Public Photographs Filip Dujardin

In Herstal, an old city block made of hangars and abandoned houses left room for set spaces such as a new train station, housing and shopping facilities laid out around a new public square. The project also includes the refurbishment of a park containing urban vegetable gardens for the inhabitants of the city.

The station has been viewed as an opportunity to create a link between two different levels of the city: the lower (the square, the dense urban fabric) and the upper (the trains, the hillsides, the park). The concept of the building-square integrates two main stakes: it generates an intermediate level, a belvedere and articulates the different levels of the public space.

Different elements connect the different parts of the city.

Stairs and ramps create links to different levels and paths and regenerate a green landscape of the hillsides. The tower of the station finds its scale by visually connecting all the different levels of the project. It acts as a landmark for the city, allowing the passengers to directly find their bearings.

The tower contains the “direct” vertical circulations such as the elevator and stairs.

Rhythm, light and material.

Materiality has been conceived as a structuring element of the project. The station is built in red self-compacting exposed concrete. The lateral sides of the building have a raw texture left by the timber formwork. This character is bound to the inherent identity of the project, a building made out of a sloping ground.

The front facade is smooth and is addressed to the users of the public space.

All the technical complexity of the project is integrated to create this very simple and raw expression which supports the generation of very simple and well-defined public spaces.

The public square is made of cast concrete with white quartz aggregates, giving a luminous character to the square. The benches are made of white concrete. All the materials have been chosen for their sustainability in the intensive use of the public space.

In conclusion, the project aims to be both modest and very ambitious at the same time in relation to its surroundings and to set a new frame for public spaces in order to support new urban life.

NATIONAL PRIZE CZECH REPUBLIC ARCHITECTURE

BIGMAT INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD

NATIONAL PRIZE. CZECH REPUBLIC

The Prototype of the House in Posazavi A69 – Architekti ARCHITECTURE

Project title The Prototype of the House in Posazavi

A prototype of a family house is built in a former granite quarry in Posazavi.

Location Ledeč nad Sázavou, Czech Republic

The purpose of this built project is to check structural, typological, and user qualities of the prototype.

Completion 2015

The house is located on the edge of a rock above a lake.

The project preserves grown trees, emphasizes the view to the water, and allows access to the meadow in the middle of a forest.

A simple cubic mass measuring 15x15x4 m contains interior spaces formed in a more complex manner. The organically molded labyrinth of the interior living space allows more day- and sunlight, vistas out and through from the depth of the layout.

The house hovers over the landscape. It is not founded in traditional fashion. A steel load-distributing modular raft is bedded on existing granite blocks - remnants of mining. A 2x4 timber frame is erected on the raft. The roof structure is nailed on truss work. The roof is flat finished with extensive green. The ventilated facade is made of wood.

Windows are aluminum.

A sliding glass wall connects the living area with an outdoor terrace on the meadow.

The interior is monochromatic, using different shades of white — a neutral frame for colors of the forest at different periods of a day and year.

The house is DIY. It can be taken apart. It may disappear without a trace.

Venice has often been resistant to modernity. As Manfredo Tafuri writes in Venice and the Renaissance, “Venice is a problem for the ‘moderns.’ Fascinated by a crystallized continuity, which has been mistaken for banal organic unity – perhaps to be regained – they cannot tolerate the challenge that Venice hurls out to them. And they multiply their violent and faithless attempts, with sadistic traits that are barely hidden beneath the masks of phrases like ‘respectful project,’ ‘the past as friend,’ and the ‘new Caprice’ – masks of mummification of ephemeral revitalization.”

The LCV project responds to this challenge.

Questioning the given site and program during the competition phase, in which architects were expected to work only on the adaptive reuse of a series of 19thcentury buildings within an abandoned tobacco factory, we decided to introduce a new building. We designed a physical adapter in a unique, leftover open space in the dense urban landscape of Piazzale Roma.

LCV aims to be an adapter between programs, scales, typologies, and, from a broader perspective, between historical memory and the contemporary. While its scale is based on the huge void of Piazzale Roma, which is the car entrance to the city, and the Grand Canal, spanned here

by Santiago Calatrava’s bridge, LCV responds to the dense Venetian urban system beyond the plaza. The new program proposes a hybrid typology: a building housing the lawcourt offices; an infrastructure housing the technology systems that form the top of LCV and will eventually serve the entire rehabilitated factory complex; and an interior piazza, a seven-story-high public entrance hall for the new system of public spaces that the restoration of the complex will return to the city.

The introduction of a five-foot-wide technical space between the facade and the interior allowed us to work with light, which in Venice is always scattered when bouncing on the water. Through a soft technical solution, whereby the small exterior perforations become more generous windows on the interior, the seven-story atrium space changes with every moment’s light and climate condition, activating the building as much as its users do. The interior space, while supporting the different programs, is perceived as a teza, a typical Venetian empty space between two parallel structural walls and covered by a pitched roof. The teza is a stereometrically simple volume with various uses, including housing, storage, and boat parking.

The site selected for the new pedestrian crossing point is located in the vicinity of the existing border crossing zone.

The new crossing connects the village of Zegiestow on the Polish side with the village of Sulin in Slovakia. Zegiestow is characterized by well-developed tourism with a rich tradition. The nearby mineral water spring, Sulinka, and the opportunity to establish a link with the hiking trails on the Slovak side is naturally expected to attract tourists towards the Slovak side of the Poprad River.

The architectural concept of the bridge is based on a binary composition. It consists of two separate elements: an arc and a line, united in a single entity. Apart from being symbolic and iconic, the design was determined by the requirement to bridge the Poprad River as well as the floodplain on the right bank. Arching over the watercourse, with supports on both sides, forms one element, while bridging of the flooded area on the Polish side by a continuous beam represents another. The combination of these two elements forms the bridge that culminates over the midstream, which is the border between the two independent states, both of them part of a united Europe.

The bridge design is characterized by a varying vertical and horizontal profile.

The load-bearing structure of the bridge consists of a continuous open beam profile. Railings on both sides of the bridge are made of reinforced poured concrete walls. The surface of these walls in provided with a vertical trapezoidal groove pattern.

This finish has rendered the outer face more plastic, communicating with the sublime texture of the surrounding forest and, at the same time, making the bridge look lighter. On the inside, the reinforced concrete walls of the bridge are cladded with hardwood planks. The deck was designed in a similar fashion – like “a walkable wooden carpet”. Integrated into this internal cladding is an illumination system that uses LED light fixtures.

From an urban perspective, the project is based on two planning principles: on the one hand, the Royal Collection museum should be part of the natural-artificial landscape of Madrid’s western edge, and on the other hand, it is necessary to maintain the open, public nature of La Almudena Square and preserve the views of the gardens beneath the western lip of the city. The Museum, in its linear structure as an inhabited containment wall, seeks to reduce the objective (physical) and subjective (collective unconscious) environmental impact on the monumental plinth of the Royal Palace.

The aim is to have a building that is invisible from La Almudena Square by occupying a buried space that does not yet to exist. The Royal Collection Museum contains the plinth of the Royal Palace, constructing a linear space that follows the lines of the Palace itself.

A simple, compact building, a construction that is aware that maximum flexibility and potential is only possible within a strict order, using the materials of the Royal Palace and its dignified construction as a feature, with a modern layout that is heavy yet light, opaque yet transparent.

The three exhibition levels, equal yet different, hold three distinct collections: first: tapestries, second: paintings, sculptures and various items and third: carriages.

Each space is organized like a warehouse of 110x16 meters, flanked by the remains of the Arab wall to the east and a monumental lattice composed of massive granite pillars open to the west above the Campo del Moro Royal Gardens.

The views across the gardens are the space between the structures, just as the pillars are matter between voids.

The space is the rhythm of the beams, and the installations are the interface between what holds the building up.

Structure, lighting, views, space, and infrastructure all have blurred edges and exchanged attributes.

The Royal Collections Museum is a plinth for the Palace from the outside; a frame for views of the gardens and the interior features. The most important part already exists; our job is to make it visible.

The project is a public facility, situated on the new campus of Paris-Saclay. The building hosts a mix of activities, including indoor and outdoor sports, facilities, a restaurant, coffee shop and various public spaces: a pedestrian square, street terraces, park areas for deliveries, bikes and cars. The building is organized vertically with its different activities superimposed on one another, using the roof as a panoramic playground for football and basketball games.

The different areas are linked by an open staircase that allows for independent accesses. The building takes the form of an urban shelf, a vertical public space that is accessible to all campus visitors, day or night.

It is shared facility, encouraging the encounter of various populations living close to one another but rarely meeting.

The restaurant, coffee shop and sports activities are made accessible to students, company employees, teachers, and researchers. It aims at creating a meeting point for everyone by mixing activities that are usually separate.

The building has been conceived as a minimal structure, using rough materials and robust and long lasting techniques. Technology is used minimally to provide a place that will last in time, with no need for complicated maintenance.

In response to the low construction budget, detailing has been kept to a minimum. This economical approach has allowed for the inclusion of a generous public square in the construction price, ensuring that the planted pedestrian connection of the building provides a minimal footprint.

86 Collective Housing Units Éric Lapierre Experience ARCHITECTURE

Project title 86 Collective Housing Units Location Lyon, France

This housing project of 86 dwellings is based on a reflection about thick housing buildings, 21m in this case. This compactness allows for creating a singular spatiality within the typical small French housing surfaces, while satisfying strict requirements for energy consumption.

Completion 2014 Office Éric Lapierre Experience www.ericlapierre.com Authors Eric Lapierre Type of work Private Photographs Eric Lapierre

A concentric concrete structure of walls defines a series of thresholds and the displaying of different functions.

One result is the absence of a corridor in the floor plan, consisting of a series of rooms.

Some of those are inner ones, and others are outside ones and displayed with no hierarchical relationships. Double height living rooms are linked to double height outside rooms.

The latter ones are also linked to single height outside rooms located above the kitchens and giving on to the upper level bedrooms. Thus, apartments are surrounded by outside spaces with thickness that confers them a true interiority.

Only the concentric concrete walls – core and facades – are structural. All the perpendicular walls are solely separators, allowing for the building to evolve over time and during operational phases, to adapt to the changing demands during conception. The structure is continuous from the car park to the roof. The economies arising from this rationality allow for the funding of the glazed ceramic facades, giving a strong sustainability to the buildings.

The Arquipélago – Contemporary Arts Centre seeks to unite the different scales and times of its parts.It is a transdisciplinary project whose mission is to disseminate, create and produce emerging culture: a space of exchange and interface for people, knowledge and events.

The design of Arquipélago maintains the industrial character of the whole and highlights the dialogue between an existing building (former alcohol/tobacco factory) and the new construction (arts and culture center, storage facilities, multipurpose hall/performing arts, laboratories, artist studios). The Arquipélago project acquires its identity through the quiet variation between the preexisting buildings and the two new ones. The containment strategy of the facilities’ implementation enhances the spatial efficiency and hierarchical functionality of the different areas of the existing factory complex. The new buildings absorb the required functionalities, with special conditions that are not compatible with the spatiality of the preexisting buildings.

The project does not exaggerate the differences between the old and the new buildings. On the contrary, it seeks to unite the different scales and times of its parts throughout a pictorial manipulation of the form and materiality of the buildings – the existing constructions are marked by the volcanic stone masonry and the new buildings are characterized by an abstract form, without reference or allusion to any language, built in concrete with local basalt inert material continuously working with the variation of surfaces, textures and roughness, complementing the mass of the buildings with the emptiness of the patios.

The design is committed to the quality of what exists, showing the typological variations – new buildings are placed next to the existing ones in a serene manner – underlining the architectonical memory of a given period and the new addition, without damaging or subverting the spatial and constructive structures of the whole. Context and contiguity contribute to the autonomy of the object.

The new program reinvents the existing building, making it a meaningful space in a peripheral region in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It also adds meaning to the social and cultural context where it is built. A new public space is materialized in a central square/patio where art feels comfortable and blurs the frontiers between private and public spheres, leisure and work, art and life.

Up on Alfama, near the Monastery of St Vincent de Fora and the National Pantheon, there is a little square, which marks a pause in the steep slope leading down to the river. This operation involves the rehabilitation of one of the buildings on the edge of the neighborhood, a rare example of a medieval building in an area dominated by buildings that have arisen since the earthquake of 1755.

It was a simple residence, which had resulted from the break-up of a larger palace complex that still exists. Over the years, the occupation of this small building gradually led to the construction of new walls that defined interior subdivisions, resulting in a house served by two courtyards.

The house was extended and altered, and the courtyards were gradually occupied.

This intervention aims to clarify the internal argument of the complex, reinforcing its inner meaning. If the courtyards determine the organization, the spaces between them are what form the focus of the program. The operation has resulted in four outdoor spaces, interspersed with narrow sheltered areas. The whole complex, with its unroofed appearance, gives the idea of a ruin; suggests containment, with the nature and parsimony of monastic cells; and also evokes pleasure, given the way the courtyards are available to be used as outdoor rooms, stripped of any immediate function. One of these outdoor rooms is filled with water, closing a cycle which, in the labyrinth of connections, is perpetuated.

The project for this electrical assembly factory transforms the industrial landscape of Don Benito, overcoming its anodyne setting through the use of three strategies to build up a new lexicon: Embracing Floor Plan. As opposed to the traditional type of industrial building plus esplanade in the front, the building occupies the whole square plot, liberating a courtyard inside whose dimension is determined by the maneuvering radius -15m- of trailer trucks. Inside, the ring circulation path creates a sequence of linked spaces that enable users to undertake a continuous walk around the building.

Displaced Geometries. The displacement of the position of the courtyard – 30x30m – from the center of the square plot – 45x45m – generates two different bay widths: 6m, for administration and office spaces; 9m, for industrial premises.

Vertically, the extrusion of four 10m-high volumes that rotate at right angles helps create a sequence of industrial crenels that house a sequence of mezzanines and clear spaces, addressing the functional demands of the building.

Industrial Vernacularism. The structure, a lightweight metal frame, is covered with corrugated steel sheets as a refined reference to the local context. Though mainly characterized as a hermetic volume, the ingenious resolution of all openings -doors and windows- as displaced rectangular cuts, addresses control of sunlight through the perforation of the sheet panels and distorts the scale of construction, exhibiting a well-balanced use of resources in the execution of all details.

Light Façade. The Factory’s façade solves the necessary embedment of the bearing structure, insulation and finishes through a double strategy of efficiency and reduction of means.

On one side, the radical decision to use the same material, miniwave galvanized steel sheet paneling, both externally and internally, simplifies the design and execution of the project, and transforms a povera material into the defining element of light and space.

On the other, the numbering and systematization of openings, doors and windows, as standardized cuts for measurements, proportion and technical solutions, allows for reducing the number of construction details employed.

Consolidation and adaptation of the ancient convent of Santa María de los Reyes and its gardens MGM, Morales de Giles Arquitectos S.L.P. RESTORATION

Project title Consolidation and adaptation of the ancient convent of Santa María de los Reyes and its gardens Location Seville, Spain Completion 2015 Office MGM, Morales de Giles Arquitectos S.L.P. www.moralesdegiles.com Authors Sara de Giles, architect José Morales Sánchez, architect Collaborators Paco Duarte y asociados (Structures) Insur JG (Mechanical, electric & plumbing services) Francisco Alcoba (Surveying) Juan José Guerrero Álvarez (Gardering) Francisco Sánchez Caballero (Security and Health) Type of work Public Photographs Jesús Granada

The Andalusia Office for Architecture and Housing held a contest of ideas to rehabilitate and extend the former Convent of Santa Maria de los Reyes, currently in use, in part, for exhibitions and conferences. The idea was to convert it into a museum and exhibition area for architecture and engineering, and to add areas for administration, training and research.

The project seeks to bring across one of the most interesting spatial qualities one may encounter in the variegated, compact and dense historic core of Seville. The proposal expounds upon the duality between an ample, suggestive and imaginary interior space, and the simultaneous concealing of the architecture on the street side. Inside, an empty space is opened up, an air pocket in the compact construction of the city, configured by the territory surrounding the convent, the patio of the cloister and the garden; three spaces connected by a zigzagging itinerary. In these cases, the architecture falls somewhere between excavation and suggestion, between architectonic immateriality and the organic nature of the plant world, between the shadows cast by the geometry of the neighboring buildings and the desire to evoke a space of sensations. At the same time, the project seeks to coalesce the architecture as private and public space, one that is dreamt of and described, built and evoked.

The project sticks together and abuts things, traverses and measures the casuistry of the interior world of the party walls, looking out over a wide diversity of spaces, at once multiple and integral. In this itinerary, the relationships with the pre-existing building are erected through the party walls and a calibrated perspectival relationship of some places with others. The view of the existing building towards the extension, and vice versa, is a constant of the formalization of the proposal; of the more imposing building to the more vegetable, immaterial edification. A space delimited by the old city wall, whose footprint is suggested by the alignment of the houses that today condition and delimit the area of intervention (the mansion or convent made use of this vacant area of vegetable gardens as a spatial complement of the whole). The project expresses this gentle, vegetable world of an accumulation of periods and of architectural interventions with the material definition of the extension resolved by means of a sculpted skin of aluminum slats, which seek over time to blend in with the trees and spontaneous vegetation.

This is a sinuous, zigzagging itinerary from which the visitor looks out over an interior world that is ripe for discovery.

Worth highlighting is the position of the hall for lectures and functions related to the exhibitions, the foyer and the cafeteria in their immediate visual relationship to the garden.

Suspended under the arch of an old railway bridge, the black flying house attracts attention, entices you to visit and raises questions. It is a small installation composed of a living space with a stove and a sleeping loft. The object is suspended by steel cables. It is accessible via a ladder that has been deliberately hidden from sight. It’s a bit of a conundrum that encourages passersby to think. The formal solution is simple. The resulting picture almost picturesque.

The house is located just 15 minutes walking from the city center of Pardubice. We picked the place after one of our colleagues showed us this unique and mysterious abandoned military area. Over the years, it lost its former use as a military training ground and become derelict. It has a great potential to become an important recreational zone for future generations. Locals are already rediscovering its secrets – strolling through the forest, walking their dogs – even though the area is still owned by the army and is officially closed to the public.

The atmosphere of the surrounding landscape and old bridges inspired us to create an intervention that may surprise visitors and enliven their otherwise stereotypical walk. Subsequently it can provoke more questions – who built it, what’s inside, how to get there. Our project may, in a way, demonstrate the hidden potential of the area. We hoped that our project would give birth to unexpected little stories and interesting experiences. Unfortunately, after 39 days, the house had to be uninstalled.

Quinta da Tília – building around a linden (tília) The house sits east the great linden that names the cultivated property. Within a linear organization, the house unfolds in two directions starting parallel to the contiguous stone wall and then bending to the south to embrace the tree’s shadow circle.

In the middle of the house, the living room opens to the yard under the tree and, in the opposite side, to the view of the north coast of the island. The wooden framed livingroom extends to the south looking for the sun. A broad skylight in the ceiling unveils the tree crown that appears like a wide parasol. This dematerialization and transparency intend to bring the tree inside the house.

The house gets its red color from the tin roof finishing.

The roof structure is made of local Cryptomeria wood.

Like the Linden, the Cryptomeria is an imported species.

The Cryptomeria japonica was massively used in the first half of the 20th century to forest the island and is nowadays an identity sign of the Azorean landscape.
