Bucharest

possibly the most controversial example of a post-socialist European capital The totalitarian actions of the Romanian communist regime affecting in the 1980s the center of Bucharest can be labeled as urban vandalism. They pursued a political agenda in search for a new image of the city, where the main design criteria was the representation of power through over-scaled urban and architectural interventions. Lack of consideration for the human scale, indifference towards memory, attachment and appropiation of space, were common urban features that erased all traces of the past. The project of the New Civic Center of Bucharest emerged as an ideological showcase in the last decade of dictatorship, to sadly become a playground for chaotic development after 1989. Damaged by despotic caprice, the affected area has since tremained alienating and disorienting, vulnerable to common neglect and financial opportunism. Main piece of this great urban ambition, the House of People

is the most genuiene expression of a monstruous building that irremediably changed the city’s skyline. But besides this megalomanic palace, the city center deals with several fragmented unfinished urban situations lingering either as abandoned ruins or as empty areas. Bucharest encounters huge difficulties in dealing with these ghosts of the past, misfits of the present. Has the fallen temple of communism only become the graveyeard of savage capitalism? Like places of disaster the selected sites are regarded as sorrowful archaeological remainings of a faded epoch. The master studio aprroaches two different challenges: the architectural answer either to the built monster , an empty over-sized structure, or to the urban void. The enormous empty areal along the Unirii axis is a no-mans land in a priviledged center location.

Studio 01 - EAST WEST PLATFORM Business Campus Unirii site & design assignement

The „Unirii“ project site is a 10,7ha terrain that was cleared by the intervention of the previous regime and left as an empty spot without further use. The purpose of this master studio was to analyze the urban tissue, develop an attitude towards the surroundings and propose a system, a conceptual structure that would not merely function as a business campus, but as a generator and catalyst of urbanity. The chosen site takes a large area of the destroyed neighbourhood of Vacaresti that has remained abandoned after 1989. Here there was supposed to be built the center for culture and creation „Cantarea Romaniei“, including, among others, several performance spaces and the new opera house. But this urban ambition was not entirely realised. The construction stopped after the fall of the communist regime, leaving the foundation of an

architectural colossus as archeological testimony of a surpassed era. Nowadays, several interests are oriented on the huge central site, making it an attractive pole for real-estate speculators. The latest large-scale initiative is the mixed-use „Esplanada Project“, an ambitious 1.000 Mio euro investment. The first workshop in Bucharest proposed an urban investigation on density. In order to start understanding the size of the site and its urban context students worked with a given volume and gave a thematic response to the site, expressing one of the following topics: „compression“, „decompression“, „perimeter“, „layers“ and „paths“. During the second part of the studio in Graz, the team developed individually the campus projects up to a 1:200 scale.

The structure of the project is defined by a study of the program-diagram and the surroundings. The generated campus structure reinforces the perimeter by a narrow building row. The deconstructed form inside is a strong gesture and a statement about (op)positions. It adds spatial quality and diversity. The open spaces follow the thinking of a clean and reduced structure underlined by the facade and used materials. They should be in snow-white pebble stone as a response to the surrounding concrete facades. The atriums closed by the material as on the exterior facade and also give the opportunity for cross-ventilation in summer. 12

In reaction to the main streets north and south, the eastern side of the site will be upgraded to a similar size. The traffic in the west should be closed or at least reduced. The decision to open the facade to the streets, with a translucent aluminium cladding comes as a critical answer to the existing structures and stylistics elements of important buildings in Bucharest. The skin also hides the balkonies and acces points. The visual irritation and noise will be impaired. The alignment in the interior part of the campus depends on the orientation to the city, river an the highness of the landscape.

The designed building is located in the heart of Bucharest, aligned to the Unirii Boulevard that leads directly to Ceausescu‘s „House of People“. The building was designed like a 40 meters high and 500 meters long wall, built along the highly frequented boulevard. Bucharest grew in an organic way, dominated by countless small-scaled building volumes. The Boulevards were cut into that structure afterwards, regardless of the surroundings. The aim was to build bigger, longer and higher, the scale became inhuman. The boulevards are defined by wall-like buildings excluding the other parts of the city. The aim of the design of a wall-like building, following the surrounding volumes, was to put the focus on the „jum16

ping“ scales in the city. The volume tilts over to the boulevard. Two new perspectives are created.The streetscape is providing a large inhuman scale. By stepping to the backyard of the building the scales are switching and offer a more human environment. Behind the building, half of the area offers an urban space that is situated on a lower layer than the rest of the city. Several public functions, such as a market place, coffee bars and the convention center unfold there. The other part of the backyard is on city level and offers green spaces to the neighboring residential buildings. Office typologies, the academic and the housing cluster are included in the wallshaped main building.

In order to occupy the whole site, the campus stretches as a unified structure over a majority of the 107.000m2 area. The 12m high building complex is very flat and covered by a unifying roof that generated a new public level on top of the buildings. Because of the extreme depth, it is necessary to perforate the roof in order to provide natural light to all parts of the campus. The space program unfolds under the roof. The western part of the built structures polarizes more public functions, whereas the semi-private and private functions are located in the eastern part of the site. The leisure oriented roof is accessible from street level and offers a 100,000 m2 park area. Late20

ral ramps and escalators allow the continuation of public realm on this huge platform. The campus gives its built area back to the city.

Anja Neumann

The main idea of this project was to create a clear structure of the site. I divided the site diagonally into a closely spaced building area and an open space. The most public space is provided between the built and open area. One characteristic of the project you can see in the section: starting from the densely built area the construction height decreases towards the open space, even changing from „positive“ to „negative“ level. Several deepenings (mostly 1m under the ground level) create a special characteristic of the open space. The highest point is the 70m high office building in the south-west; the deepest point the outdoor terrace from the convention 24

hall and the auditorium at 20m below ground level. Another feature is the gradient decrease of building density towards the open space. Each building structure is orientated on a grid. This can also be recognized in the structure of the ways: in the densely built area they are strictly following the grid and whereas the pathways of the open public space develop freely between the deepenings.

Simon Pilzer

Bucharest is a city of polarities. There is the new, straight, large-scaled city and the old, organic, small-scaled city. The huge site sits in-between, so this project has to handle these opposites within the challenge of working with a low building density. The organic structure is re-interpreted in a larger scale on the site in order to connect the old and new city. The triangular shaping of the buildings helps breaking the axial power of the Unirii boulevard in a smooth way, as well as creating a palpable organic structure. The height of the perimetric buildings relates to the surroundings and is lowered in the centre of the site. Another advantage of triangle structure is the effect of deceleration, as there are no domi30

nant axes. So the structure creates a „place“ next to the overcrowded streets. As green zones are rare in Bucharest, the site offers them. The whole public space is paved (but inaccessible to cars) except the green areas which range from public, semi-public to private, depending on the degree of intimacy. The most intimate green zones are the courtyards of the housing and hotels, semi-public green areas are related to offices and academic buildings and the public ones are reachable and open to everyone. Most of the ground floor of the site is public or semi-public. Private areas are attached on top. Natural light and ventilation has been regarded carefully.

Stefan Prattes

The given density of 1.2 was the main challenge to develop this project. How is it possible to create artificial mass which has a benefit for urbanism and for the site itself? The solution are huge courtyards where the given programs are situated in the perimeter and additional programs related to sport, silence, bio and culture are located inside. The result is a merge of campus-public and urban-public since the courtyards are no closed but open to all pedestrians. The bicycle way leads you through the campus. The relation of narrowness and wideness between built mass and empty space offers another unique experience. 34

A clear direction is already given by the orientation of the site and the highly frequented boulevard. Huge walls underline this direction. Different dimensions are added and offer the space for larger functions. The walls‘ megastructure is in contrast to smaller dimensioned cubes that are inserted crosswise. These cubes vary in hight to free the paths on ground floor. The contrast between the huge walls and the small-scaled boxes reminds of the original urban typology of Bucharest in comparison to the over-scaled „new“ buidlings. Courtyards in different sizes and with different functions are cut into the structure in order to provide better lightning conditions for the cubes and enjoyable outside spaces. There are two different types of paths through the 40

whole area. The first one leads right through the structure and offers the shortest connections on the site. The second one is arranged like a labyrinth. The functions are divided into two cluster-systems. The first one includes the official functions: academic cluster, convention center and the start-up cluster. These three are connected through various outside spaces, common functions and paths on different levels. The second cluster is a mix of housing typologies and offices. The ground floor area accommodates public functions. The park in between offers a wide variety of leisure space and places to relax. Its organic form is suprising but in an interesting contrast to the very strict geometry of the building structure.

Alexander Wesely The Wall

The project „The Wall“ tries to create a counter-pole to the existing library with the volume of the convention center. The wall itself serves as a connector as well as a separating element. The space in between those two objects provides a great park area. After analyzing the functional requirements and the connections between them, all different functional areas got arranged in a vertical system. To guarantee a certain level of transparency, parts of the wall dissolute or densify in given intervals. Symbolically, parts of this dissolved wall are used in the design of the exterior space. The are positioned throughout the park area and serve as seating areas, cafés or stages 46

for different public events.

Studio 02 - Campus Casa Radio design assignement & site

The Casa Radio project site is a 9,2ha plot between the Dambovita River and the Calea Plevnei. The plot used to be the Bucharest Hippodrome. The site was bombed during World War II because of the military facilities nearby. The plot stayed empty until the late 1980s when Nicolae Ceausescu decided to build a museum of the Romanian Communist Party. On the 23rd of August 1989, he used the balcony of the still unfinished building facing Stirbei Voda Street to greet and watch the festivities marking Romania‘s National Day. It was the last Communist-style parade in Romania. Ceausescu was arrested and executed four months later. The balcony was demolished soon after; the buildings were left unfinished. In the early 2000s the construction of a hotel and mall complex in form of a public-private partnership was launched. The project was supposed to be the largest multipurpose complex in the region. Construction began in 2007, demolishing part of Ceausescu’s

buildings, keeping only the facade and the structural framework. The building works were stopped short after due to the financial crisis and are not expected to be continued in the future. The proximity to the city center and to many existing university facilities made its potential use as an university campus evident. The program consisted in an academic area with five clusters, a science park, accommodation for students, staff and guests and the belonging infrastructure, up to a sum of 125.000 m². One of the main aims of the project was to create synergies with the surrounding neighborhood and bring a new social and commercial impulse into this area of the city. The very heterogeneous urban tissue around the plot and its extreme changes of scale were quite challenging in this sense. Dealing with the existing ruins of Ceausescu’s buildings and their superposed layers of meaning was a further challenge.

First, I put a grid over the site which is placed parallel to the north-eastern and the southwestern boundaries. The grid unit is 20m. The next step was to find an ideal way to place the given program on the site. I decided to design a building of an appropriate size, that allows to be multiplied and placed in any position. The „L“-shape enables flexible arrangements in terms of position, direction and height. The buildings‘ layout is three-dimensional. In order to include the ceremony hall and the exhibition hall ideally, I placed a flat building between the central buildings, which forms the center of the campus. 52

The building consists of four multi-storey blocks located on the corners of the site. Through their size and orientation they define the entrances. Inside each of these blocks there is a large courtyard that enables good natural light conditions as well as visual relationships between the functions. These functions are situated in a vertical public to private gradient. The most public space is the twostorey „slab“, which connects at ground level the four blocks and stretches over nearly the whole plot. This free-formed space is primarily defined by randomly arranged volumes and includes the principal and secondary circulation axes of the buildings. The intersec56

tion points of these axes generate squares, bringing light into the deep structure through openings in the ceiling. The created two-story high spaces provide a sense of whole and allow visual connections . These two connection levels include public and private functions, such as lecture halls, seminar rooms, computer labs, learning centers, sports halls as well as restaurants, pharmacies, banks and shopping areas. Meanwhile, the four blocks absorb stand-alone functions and provide space for administrative offices, several institutions, a dormitory and a library.

The existing building has been integrated into the overall conception for the planning of the new university. The design of the different institutions, community areas, residential areas and other functions of the university aimed at connections within the site and with the surrounding. There are different impacts from the plot boundaries such as public transport, park areas, existing universities, hospitals and living areas. Referring to the environment, the major intersections at the building site are set and highlighted with landmarks. These buildings are guiding through the area and accommodate the different clusters and living functions. The second step and element is a 60

stripe that wraps around the landmarks and accommodates the more public areas of the university. To enable access in all directions, the public strip rises continuously towards the center of the undeveloped land. The larger lecture halls connect the raised semi-public and public ground level with each other, thereby creating a sophisticated walkthrough network, which allows short distances and creates exciting connections.

The University Campus accomodates not only academic, but different life functions that require different spatial qualities, access restrictions and atmospheres. While having the capacities to fulfill these requirements, still it has to work as a whole. Setting order with the grid The basic spatial unit repeats itself through the whole site, but the rules of horizontal and vertical addition are always according to the spatial requirements and specificity of the program. The hierarchy was set by shifting the buildings and varying the distances from one another. Also, different spatial atmosferes are 66

being created. The system works on its own but still integrates with the surrounding. It has the possibility to adjust in any neighborhood but can also be completely out of context. Hence, the tendency to spread on the neighbouring sites, in order it replace or only desify the existing structure, can be accomplished.

The dominant axis, formed by the two symmetrical parts of the existing Casa Radio building, serves as the starting point of a square grid. The tangible dimension of 10x10 meters mediates between the big plot and the buildings. First, a site proportioned square is oriented to grid points. The size and exploded arrangement of the functional fragments is produced by the requirements of the program. Through the process of separation specific gaps and places are generated. In a further step, the single blocks are exploded and divided into generating a maze. The distribution the building parts enab70

les the forming of square-type gaps. There are squares next to the existing Casa Radio building - where the university functions are connected -, on the western side of the plot - where the residential and recreational functions are concentrated - and centrally - for the campus, where the ceremony hall is located. Furthermore, diverse circulation paths link the campus to its immediate environment. The connections are set according to their importance. The exterior design is a reference to the overall architectural concept. Several buildings are held together by rectangular deepenings as binding gesture.
