Transformation of Orgelpipan4

Typology :building transformation;

Catagory:personal work;

Property: Re- studio KTH Architecture; Time :09/2020-12/2021;

Location :Stockholm, Sweden;

Tutor: Mikael Bergquist, Thordis Arrhenius.

Theme

CHANGE Driven by contemporary concerns with scarcity and overflow, the building stock is constantly altered and architects are progressively concerned with adjusting and reprogramming what is already there. A central effect of global capitalism is the pressure of change. Urban patterns and building programs are increasingly becoming redundant, demanding change to accommodate new functions and identities. This in turn raises a new urgency for contemporary architectural culture to start addressing the pressure of change in alternative modes.

PRESERVATION With the fundamentally shift in our contemporary understanding of spatial and material resources the architect no longer is primarily occupied with making the new from scratch but with making the new out of the past. In that condition preservation has won a new relevance for architecture that goes far beyond saving its canon of buildings. The studio will address the notion of change, permeance and resilience by the means of, restoration, re-use and re-pair. The overall methodological and pedagogical strategy will be to explore the already present, the already built, the already thought and imagined.

(Thordis Arrhenius & Mikael Bergquist)

Orgelpipan 4 is a modern historical heritage stands in the center of Stockholm city. The building presents as a barrier, keeping the old church away from the traffic and noise of city center.

Therefore, the transformation practice focus on the sight from the entrance gate, through which you can get into a very quiet and secret place. Walking till this position is like to experience a transformation from urban context to the historical context.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN

FORTH FLOOR PLAN

Several changes were made to activate this place: The first floor was transfered to be a open corridor, to include more civil activities like retails, cafe and restaurant;

An escalator was added to create a new entrance and a new flow straight to the roof top; An modern addition was created in this sight view to increase contract between old and new.

NEW ENTRANCE

TECHNICAL MEASURES

The glass addition to the roof provides a sustainable solution for the building, with solar panels on the roof converting light energy into electricity.

Typology :culture architecture; Catagory:personal work; Property: Architecture Design Basic; Time :09/2019-12/2019; Modefied time: 12/2020-01/2020; Location :Chongqing, China; Tutor: Mao Lianghe(260873883@qq.com).

Critical Thinking

Should theatrical architecture show the sanctity of art with intimidating grandeur? Why in today's world, art has become a plaything manipulated by capital, further and further away from the lives of ordinary people, and even more out of reach for those at the bottom of social hierarchy? In the process of urban development, those socially marginalized groups struggling in the backward areas of the city have lost their direction and belonging in the process of gradually disconnecting from the modernization of the city. In the development of regional economy, can the space be designed to attract people who are not the audience of the theater to participate in the pleasure of music?

Synopsis

The design is located in a backward urban village left over from the old industrial era. Focusing on the socially marginalized groups living in the "urban village", a theatrical solution was found that would cater to a wide range of social groups from their point of view. The difference in terrain can be used to create a comfortable civic square and a view overlooking the urban landscape. The treatment of the architectural space breaks the traditional closed nature of theater buildings and welcomes people in with a more open and friendly gesture. A winding promenade runs through the interior of the building, becoming a public place for citizens to enjoy singing and dancing performances, and to engage in leisure and entertainment activities.

City development

Modern industry in Chongqing started to develop after the city was opened in the 1890s. The city was predominantly agricultural until light industrial construction began.

Life scenes

In 1929, a municipal government was established in Chongqing. After that, Chongqing's local industry entered a period of rapid development. Industry transited from light to heavy.

In 1937, the outbreak of the World War in a period of great development with the internal relocation of industry on a scale unprecedented in China's modern history.

Urban construction has accelerated rapidly since 1978, and a large number of heavy factories have been abandoned or moved to the suburbs due to the environmental protection policies.

CONCEPT

Roof design

Morphogenesis

Chongqing is very hilly and the public lacked a platform for public activities, so canopies were erected on the roofs to provide space for activities.Following the fall of the mountains, them create a cha racteristic landscape.

The folded line roof is used to reflect the form of the mountain. Roofs with different inclinations and orientations can be used for different functions.

A corridor runs through the building, along which public spaces such as rehearsal halls and performance halls are distributed. The rehearsal halls have permeable glass walls, and villagers can watch free performances such as orchestra rehearsals in the halls. The aim is to arouse the villagers' interest in music so that they can better integrate into urban life.

The ceiling in the auditorium is designed as a folding line with acoustic timber on the sides to give the space the desired reverberation effect through sound reflection.

The interior of the building is designed according to the height difference of the terrain, which enable people to communicate with each other under the folding roof. At the same time, each row of seats in the theatre is raised appropriately to give a good viewing angle.

Interior office space renovation project based on user needs and corporate culture

Typology: Interior office design; Catagory: Team work(6 people); career work; Time: 05/2022-06/2022; Location: Shengzhen, China;

After site visits and conversations with new and existing employees, we noticed the scaffolding elemen-ts in the original environment and used them as a starting point to build a symbol that would represent the company's culture and core values.

The scaffolding symbolises the start-up company and forms the space for different functions: traffic, entertainment, decoration; the office is also brightened up because of this.
