PERSONAL STATEMENT In Architecture, I am most interested in user experience. Therefore my focus is on well-thought use of materials, precise and unique detailing, that suits specific design and conveys the idea and concept of the whole building. I have always liked to experiment with materials and to make form studies - in my free time I make jewellery and that’s when I work with materials, I get to know their qualities and how they connect. This knowledge allows me to play with design in small scale, to experiment and explore different solutions.

What I definitely lack and would like to learn is experience and knowledge of traditional (and new) building materials to have the same fluency and freedom to play with form and design in architecture. I am aware how detail is important and influences the final effect, therefore I would like to gain experience in an office that pays great attention to that.

I enjoy hand-drawing and modelling, I have learnt different techniques in my mother’s jewellery studio. I like hand-on approach to design and for me it’s natural way of starting to design. During my graduation year I have learnt a lot about design process and creating architectural concepts - making them consistent and visible at different levels of scale (from urban scale to detail).

In my further work I would like to develop what I have learnt so far - how a strong architectural concept can be carried out with available, local materials and detailing. How a desired atmosphere can be achieved in realised project. This was my focus in academic projects, however I know that in ‘real life’ there are more factors and people influencing the design process. That is why it’s equallly important for me to learn how to work with everyone involved in architectural project. I am always open to learn techniques and approaches I am not familiar with - perhaps that’s what I am looking for.

Folding models I have conducted my graduation research on the third semester of Master course. It was an exploration of design technique - “folding”: how it can be utilised at early stage of design process (concept stage) and what are its implications on architectural forms and thus our perception and behaviour.

Several models have been produced using different folding techniques and different tools (3d prints for double curved surfaces). The above models were used to describe the relation between geometry of fold and of the void inbetween and the resulting connections between spaces.

Research aimed to describe folding as set of guidelines to be utilised in design process. It provided valuable insight into the relation of architectural forms and human perception and movement in architectural spaces.

Folding encourages hand-on design approach, that allows to create interlacing, continuous spatial transitions.

Introduction The design of the Museum of Modern Art reacts to the monumental socialist architecture and planning of central Warsaw. A long horizontal gallery combined with a tranquil walled garden fills in the missing pieces of the city grid.

The elegant building, which reflects the

garden and captures the light of the seasons, creates a place in the centre of Warsaw which can accommodate diverse program.

The combination of the building and garden facilitate a new relationship between the institution and the citizens, embedding the Museum of Art in the

History

life of the city.

Around 86% of Warsaw’s buildings and infrastructure has been destroyed during 2nd World War. In 1955, the building of the highest tower in Warsaw - the Palace of Culture and Science has been accomplished. The remaining buildings and infrastructure around

the Palace has been destroyed, leaving huge, empty Defilade Square.

Enclosure

Excavation

Main entrance

The main design concept of the Museum is to connect it with existing park, isolate it from adjacent busy streets and in this way to create an “oasis” - a “frame” in the city center, that provides utterly different experience. This is an attempt to enhance the quality of the unfriendly, socialist, monumental public space.

The isolation of the park and museum is further emphasized by excavating the terrain by 4 meters. The enclosure of the Museum and the Sculpture Park provides visitors with quiteness, tranquility, atmoshpere of reflection and allows to safely exhibit art in the outdoor space.

Main entrance has been placed opposite the entrance to the Palace of Culture to create link between two buildings and facilitate the communication between the Museum and the different cultural institutions that are currently located in the Palace.

Relation between the building and the park The intention of making the facade and the roof open (fully glazed with curved panels) was to keep the connection between the interior of the museum with the park as strong as possible. Since the excavated park is surrounded by high

towers (Palace of Culture and the surrounding towers in the business district) it was equally important to design the park as seen from above.

The wall

Park design

The wall around lowered area of the park is a 3m-wide, double-wall structure that accomodates the complementary functions. On the park level it contains workshops, accessible for artists directly from park. On street level ithere are commercial functions, eg. shops, cafes.

The park is an exhibition space for the sculptures and installations. That is why its expression is formal and monumental and the green, recreational areas are gathered in different size of circle-shaped zones. This gives a rythm to huge open space and helps the way-finding.

Galleries The building is slightly curved [35] to emphasize the perception of lenght and to allow gradual revealing of following interiors while walking the main corridor. There are six staircases located along the length of the building. Each of them differs in color and has a big opening to allow view along the main

axis of the building. This enhances the understanding of the structure of the building, improves way-finding and orientation and provides spectacular views to gallery rooms from different levels.

Climate

Construction

Climate concept results from functional division of interior space into open circulation area [36] and closed exhibition space[37]. Thus, there are two climate zones: dynamic (daylight, mechanical ventilation, temperature - control) and static (humidity, light, temperature controlled) .

Circulation space should be as light as possible and provide visual connections with the park and the city. Thus the facade was designed with glass panels, suspended from top to provide maximum visibility from all levels.

Concept The design plot of the M+ is located on the boundary between the West Kowloon cultural district, with its buildings, theaters, museums etc. and the one that will become the biggest park of Hong Kong. As a starting point of our design, on an urban level, we decided to critically face the masterplan and take

two main decisions: the first one aims to connect the park with the rest of the functions and the second is to place the entrance towards the sea, claiming that the seafront path will be the most used. The result of the reconnection has generated an important gesture: a huge covered public space capable to

host temporary outdoor exhibitions in a landscape that simultaneously impose the presence of tectonics. The elements of this gesture, translation of an artificial forest, are columns of three different thicknesses placed on the basis of a small-mesh grid which allows a “controlled randomness�.

17

Sections The design concept assumes elevation of exhibition spaces above ground level to create public square, exhibiting art and connecting street with the sea shore. This shaded outdoor area will be unique in HongKong, dominated by

close, climatized public spaces inside towers.

The galleries of the museum are all located in the block above the public area.

Also here the tectonic presence of the columns remains, even if in a diminished density.

Museum program has been divided into four parts: underground galleries that accommodate Temporary Galleries and are directly accessed from the main entrance hall; public outdoor space on the ground level; the closed Permanent Exhibition Halls in the elevated volume and Offices’ , Conservation and Storage Volume.

Climate and structure Concept

Construction detail

“Retreat in Nature� means not only to escape from the chaos of the city, but it is also the possibility to experience the environment by adapting to it. The first way we use to adapt to the environment is to dress up. Varying the layers of clothings we can feel comfortable. The idea of clothing and the priciple of layering becomes our main design guidline and our sustainable approach.

The Fabric house is designed on a grid of bamboo sticks of 90x90x90 cm, inspired

by Japanese scaffolding structures. The Bamboo grid forms the skeleton of the house, wrapped in different layers of fabrics, and connected with rope and knots.

Plans: Summer and Winter configuration Together the modules create a cube of 9x9x9meter. Some of the modules were erased from the grid to make space for living functions and adapt the structure to the orientation, sun path and wind direction.

Interior views During the winter month the bamboo structure is dressed with the winter coat, made of a fabric of sued inflatable ETFE cushions.

In the summer, the bamboo structure is almost naked, cotton fabric is wrapped around the structure and provides wind protection and sun shading on the south- and west-side.

All functions: classrooms, multifunctional room and administration are organized around central space, which enhances integration between children of different age, teachers and parents.

Each classroom is oriented to the north, with glazed window strap to the East. In this way all classrooms have optimum lighting conditions when most needed: in the morning and noon.

Details

One of the most important design objectives was to connect interior of the building with the garden.

Huge, glazed northern wall helps to provide the most friendly learning and playing environment, helping children to connect with the nature and observe the changing seasons.

The buidling has been designed with natural materials, with dominating wood and concrete.

23

Light and materials properties Simple, regular, ortogonal in plan and diagonal in section composition of wooden stripes create unexpected visual effects with light and shadows.

The model study shows how different light and ground materials change atmosphere and experience of space inbetween openwork structure.

Inspiration The structure of pavilion has been inspired by several folding and cutting experiments in paper.
