Second: to be sensitive with the site and its provincial character, taking into account the potential noise levels. Thirdly: to radically diﬀeren-

The interior circulation has been designed with regard to the ﬁrst premise, in order to show the inner void of public spaces in fragmented glances and not all at once. This leads from street level to the top ﬂoor, evolving from a soft ramp to a system of staircases and from corridors to bridges. Horizontal and vertical movement thus becomes an orchestrated choreography within the building. For the second

premise, and in order to match the building’s exterior expression with its context, materials were chosen that were already present in the town such as timber and corrugated steel. The whole site is occupied by a simple volume that contains a systematic rhythm of windows. More speciﬁcally, this volume recreates the diﬀerentiation, often seen in Puerto Natales, between the front and lateral elevations. Consequently, corrugated steel was used for the street façades while the sides are made from treated pine.The various functions of the buildings made it necessary to develop a coherent design philosophy that is both functional and modern.

Should regionalism be of any relevance in a global context, it is to be reconsidered thoroughly and without the least fear. Otherwise it might fall back on a new provincialism sooner or later.

La función primera del encofrado es dar al hormigón la forma proyectada y protegerlo de golpes, de las temperaturas externas y de la pérdida de agua, el elemento más ﬂuido de los tres que lo componen (cemento, áridos y agua).

Encofrar muros circulares, sea con radio pequeño (entre 3 y 5 m) o con un radio mayor de 5 metros, es una tarea compleja: un problema es conseguir su nivelación vertical; también es difícil contrarrestar la presión del hormigón o prever la aparición de momentos creados por la misma forma alabeada, pudiendo provocar el vuelco imprevisto de todo o parte del conjunto, por lo que son necesarios tensores y puntales repartidos por el encofrado.

Las técnicas de encofrado permiten dar diversas formas al hormigón, como escalones, suelos, pilares o vigas. Existen encofrados realizados con un armazón de hierros retorcidos formando una estructura en el interior del armazón sin que toquen las paredes de madera y rellenando el armazón de hormigón. El encofrado paralelo al suelo se aplica en escalones, escaleras, bordillos de caminos, etc. El encofrado en pilar se utiliza como soporte de vallas de ladrillos, de rejas.

Antes de verter el hormigón sobre las placas, se debe aplicar el desmoldante adecuado según el material de los paneles del encofrado (terciado fenólico o metálico). Este químico evita que el hormigón se Para encofrar superficies continuas de forma repeMadera • Materiales adhiera con fuerza al moldaje y sea más sencillo de titiva o de gran altura es más fácil con la utilización retirar. de plataformas que permitan su movimiento y reCubierta • Elementos colocación para su posterior uso.

Descimbre El encofrado es provisional, por lo que se retira y descimbra una vez que el hormigón ha adquirido la resistencia suﬁciente para convertirse en una «piedra artiﬁcial». El tiempo que debe transcurrir para descimbrar depende del tipo de hormigón y del sistema de moldaje que se esté utilizando.

Hormigón visto Las superficies de hormigón a la vista constituyen una alternativa frecuente de diseño en la arquitectura moderna. La realización de obras de arquitectura complejas en hormigón visto requiere de la colaboración positiva de todos los involucrados: arquitecto, oficina de ingeniería/constructora, calculista/ preparación de tareas, proveedor de encofrados, cuadrilla de encofradores o proveedor de hormigón. Al trabajar con hormigón visto, su acabado puede ser muy diverso: vibrado, remolineado, basto, semifino , pulido, coloreado, etc.

and no abrupt angles to break the organic, flowing lines. Rising from the ground, the facade gently billows outwards before being drawn into a kind of waistline and then curving out again and over, in one continuous movement. The exterior is enveloped in a skin made up of thousands of aluminum discs, creating a fine, lustrous grain across the whole building. The effect, like sequins on a dress or the scales of a snake, gives the whole building the quality of a vast, sensuous architectural structure. The architects wanted the interior to meet the expectations created by the exterior, balancing the curiosity created by the unique façade. The fluidity of the form of the building is matched inside with an organically shaped atrium stretching across the floor plan. Like an urban canyon, the atrium creates shafts of natural light that penetrate deep inside the space, allowing a clear view of the sky and giving a real sense of changing weather conditions outside. The flood of natural light articulates the store’s dramatic inner landscape with highlights, shadows and reflections.

Large, sinuously shaped openings carved from the form at the sides provide shop windows and views out.

These openings are frameless, but they are surrounded by an edge of yellow frits, gently defining their shape. The building responds to the wish for a building that provides an architectural landmark for Birmingham by re-interpreting the form and function of a department store, enabling it to become a catalyst for urban regeneration.

Mike McKay PERFORMA_08

This work seeks to create multi-performative material systems utilizing optimization, aggregation and efficiency. Simple units and semi-finished materials were physically tested in order to extract potential performative characteristics and limits. These limits were negotiated through rigorous digital and physical techniques in order to produce strategies of fabrication. The formal systems have inherent structural capacities as well as an ability to adapt to changing conditions. Although the system is adaptable, the form must be self-structural and fabricated using material that can weather. Because of the system pliability, variation can occur within a seemingly homogenous system. The PERFORMA_08 system is comprised of identical aluminum units that are aggregated by utilizing the characteristics of the unit shape. Because of the shape characteristics, the system can achieve a pliability that allows for a dynamic and highly adaptive formal system. PERFORMA is an advanced graduate seminar taught at the University of Kentucky College of Design.

L’organisation du bâtiment repose dans ses surfaces. A l’intérieur, des expériences avec des instruments de recherche de haute sensibilité émettent des radiations de gauss. Les nuages de radiation sont des espaces intouchables, entourés par les plans du sol, du plafond et des parois. Ces enveloppes doubles contiennent la construction, les installations et le système de réseau du laboratoire. Ensemble, ils forment un ensemble légèrement entrelacé de plans lisses qui se transforment successivement en sol, paroi et plafond. Le petit laboratoire de RMN (Résonance Magnétique de Neutrons), sous forme de pavillon, est situé dans le campus universitaire d’Utrecht, “De Uithof”. Tant la technique de recherche particulière comme les structures moléculaires, ont significativement influencé l’architecture du laboratoire. Ce laboratoire de deux étages contient huit spectromètres (aimants de haute fréquence), huit consoles et autres instruments auxiliaires, ainsi que des espaces publics et des bureaux. Tous les aimants présentent un comportement et des demandes spécifiques, en produisant des champs magnétiques de diverses dimensions et sensibilités. Ceci affecte le fonctionnement des autres appareils qui se trouvent dans un rayon variable autour des aimants. Ces champs de forces ne doivent surtout pas être dénaturé. Par conséquent, la capacité de radiation des aimants constitue le véritable noyau du projet en modifiant l’organisation du bâtiment, les matériaux qui peuvent être utilisés, la disposition du programme et des instruments, et les possibles systèmes de réseau. Un autre principe important dans la structuration du bâtiment est l’organisation spatiale libre de poteaux, ce qui permet

This room has views over Passeig de Gracia. The tables are distributed throughout three areas, separated only by the stone arches, which favor intimacy and create large, yet homely spaces.
