2.2 Erbil Master Plan Information
Modern Islamic Cultural Center • Case Study 11
Erbil is an ancient city in northern Iraq, which historically developed around a circular fortified core to form an important commercial, agricultural, and administrative center. In modern times, the city evolved into an extensive settlement with a defined radial and lateral road network supporting built-up areas of varying land use character. However, the city center suffered from stagnation and lack of investment. To help reinvigorate the center, Dar Al-Handasah conducted a study on how to encourage investments and stimulate greater private sector participation. We concluded that the following objectives needed to be achieved:
Restructuring dilapidated areas Conserving significant and heritage buildings Maintaining residential uses Providing a network of urban spaces Creating quality urban routes Encouraging new business and development Developing tourism in the city Providing adequate infrastructure and utilities Figure 3.1 • The final master-plan of Erbil city, By (DAR AL-HANDASAH Shair and Partners) showing the three selected alternative locations for the cultural project.

Year
Pritzker Prize-winning architect I.M. Pei Doha 35000-msquare Modern The Museum of Islamic Art is open Saturday through Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Museum is closed on Tuesdays, December 25 and the first day of Eid. 2010
3.1.2 Description Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I.M. Pei, the 376,740-squarefoot Museum of Islamic Art in Doha Bay houses a collection of international masterpieces in galleries encircling a soaring, five-storey-high domed atrium. The Museum, an architectural icon 60m (195ft) off Doha’s Corniche, rises from the sea and is connected to shore by two pedestrian bridges and a vehicular bridge. A C-shaped peninsula and park area on the shoreline behind the Museum offer shelter and a picturesque backdrop.
The Museum is composed of a five-storey Main Building and a two-storey Education Wing, which are connected across a central courtyard. The Main Building’s angular volumes step back progressively as they rise around a 50-m-high (164ft) central domed atrium. The dome is concealed from outside view by the walls of a central tower. A sheet of glass rises to a height of 45m (148ft) on the north side of the Museum offering views of the Gulf and West Bay area of Doha from all five floors of the atrium.
Ceilings are constructed of intricate cast-in place architectural concrete coffered domes, finished with individual molds. At the top of the atrium is the circular oculus of a stainless steel dome, which captures facets of patterned light. The form of the dome changes as the structure descends, so its perimeter becomes an octagon and then a square, which in turn is transformed into four triangular column supports.
3.1.3 Concept Mr. Pei’s final design inspiration was the 13th-century sabil (ablutions fountain) of the Mosque of Ahmad Ibn Tulun in Cairo, Egypt (9th century). In the “austerity and simplicity” of the sabil, Mr. Pei stated, he found “a severe architecture that comes to life in the sun, with its shadows and shades of colour” The sabil offered “an almost Cubist expression of geometric progression”which evoked an abstract vision of the key design elements of Islamic architecture. 3.1.4 Project aims The Museum of Islamic Art is dedicated to reflecting the full vitality, complexity and diversity of the arts of the Islamic world. It is a world-class collecting institution, which preserves, studies and exhibits masterpieces spanning three continents and 13 centuries. As a centre for information, research and creativity, the Museum aims to reach a wide global audience and serve as a hub for dialogue and cultural exchange.

To protect the fragile antiquities on display, the exhibition rooms feature specially designed cases and lighting. Mr. Wilmotte also created custom furniture for the museum, inspired by Pei’s architectural style.

The Museum’s education programs are housed in a 29,000-square-foot wing, located to the east of the main building across a fountain courtyard. The Education Wing, scheduled to open late 2009, includes a light-filled reading room in the Museum library, classrooms, workshops, study spaces, and technical and storage facilities. Among the latter is the conservation laboratory, an important new resource for the entire region. Underscoring the central role of education in the Museum of Islamic Art, the Education Wing will host educational and community activities to develop and foster an understanding and appreciation for Islamic art.

3.2.2 Description The Islamic religious society aims to build an Islamic religious and cultural center (IRCC) to provide the necessary space for its activities and gain more attention through architectural presence in the public realm of traditionally Christian city of Ljubljana. The goal is that IRRC would not become a closed and introverted building complex, but rather an open and accessible place of tolerant mutual understanding and dia-
log between two cultures. A symbiotic coexistence of local and Islamic is symbolically firstly present in the very urban composition. The typical north-west rectangular street grid of Ljubljana is reflected in the rectangular structural grid of the new building and in the tree pattern in the park, and is interwoven with the sacred Islamic direction towards Mecca, to which the spaces for religious service are oriented.

3.2.4 Site Plan & Circulation The building is located in a park, with the exterior extending into the interior without any functionally disturbing changes of floor level. That way, the public park in front of the project serves as place of gathering and interaction, directly connected to the fluid and open common space in the interior. To emphasize this continuity, even the grid of the newly planted trees continues in the interior, only the type of trees changing from the acacia in the outside to orange trees in the inside.
The ground floor is organized as open plan space with pavilions hosting public facilities (bookstore with info point, restaurant and a room for social events). Above, three double story longitudinal building volumes with offices, classrooms and residential units hover under the glass roof. To preserve as much open floor area as possible, the large volumes of auditorium and sports hall are located underground, along with the three story parking garage. That way the entire ground floor becomes a flexible and fluid open space. The aromatic and visually pleasant fruit of the orange trees enriches the inside atmosphere, reflecting the traditional Arabic gardens. Due to its size, functional reasons and specifics of the site, the project has two main entrances, a northern and a south one. In front of each entrance is a larger park with trees in the pavement, used as a shaded square.

In the part of the building where the cultural center is located, a more expressive pattern is used, reflecting a lively atmosphere inside, whereas a calm rectangular pattern is applied on the facade of the prayer hall.

3.3.2 Description Designed by PM²G Architects, in collaboration with Satellite Architectes & Menu Design, their iconic proposal project for a new cultural center in Guadalajara embodies and catalyzes the cultural scene over the Chapultepec Avenue besides forming a new attraction for the city. Their design, which was awarded an honorable mention, includes a series of three alternate solids that are combined with transparent and concave spaces. The rotation of the volumes towards the sky gives the building its dynamic and spectacular force. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Guadalajara is known as the 2nd most populous municipality in Mexico and the well-known vertical architectural route of the Guggenheim Museum in New York is reinterpreted here in the new Chapultepec Cultural Center project. In this case, however, unlike the Frank Lloyd Wright scheme, the route turns to the city and thus provides visitors a 360° view of the city of Guadalajara.

A monumental staircase, “part of the tradition of Mexican pre-Hispanic architecture” evokes the ascension into heaven, allowing to wander the building and at the same time serving as a podium and terrace to display certain works of art; this possibility extends from the inside out, becoming an external tour and concluding with a panoramic terrace, the stair as a magical space to exhibit, contemplate and communicate, a walk in the pleasant climate of Guadalajara. The exhibition halls, including 300 and 500 m² spaces, are composed by generous spaces with great heights designed to accommodate different types of art. Going from the White Cube hosting classical painting and photography exhibitions where lighting is indirect and natural. Moreover, the Black Box designed as a space for video projection and installations.

The auditorium space has been designed to offer great flexibility to adapt to all kinds of shows, dance and theater as well as conferences, workshops and projections. The retractable seating once extended offers optimum visibility for each of the 200 spectators, and releases the space when retracting (disappear) in the back of the room, thus becoming an ideal place for concerts, and more. The stage is slightly elevated, the backstage space has com-
fortable dimensions and can be opened to the auditorium in the case of major events that require it; addition to this, a small room to be used by the entire production team completes the device. The white concrete poetic facade is composed by a series of ruled surfaces perforated in a dotted evolutionary pattern, in some cases, the perforations as windows, others as mirrors and some cases as luminous LED spots. Thus, the
facade is crafted to reflect the sky with a gradient from top to bottom, revealing an evolutionary play of light throughout the day. Beyond the monumental staircase, visitors have easy access to each level through a vertical circulation core. The compact core is the backbone of the building and serves to effectively distribute the flow of people and cargo transportation.
52 Modern Islamic Cultural Center • Case Study The ground floor opens onto the city calling and inviting people to come to the inside; an entrance hall containing a ticket office, cloakroom and control, as well as a library and a small cafe are responsible for receiving public warmly. The access to the underground parking and the loading bay area are located on the minor street that faces the terrain, the last being directly connected to the freight elevator and warehouses for supply purposes. The structural system of the building is composed of a concrete central core and a network of columns located with and offset of 6mts from the façade and intertwined by a series of cantilever metal beams of varying dimensions according to seismic requirements.

Chapter Introduction The zoning diagram of function and activities defines the relationship between areas and gives the functional diagrams for the new museum complex, in term of public/nonpublic/collection area, access and circulation based on proximity chart, produced by the project coordinator upon available information as a first assessment of the real needs of the museum. The main principle of access and circulation in the museum, essential for a good functioning of all activities, is the separation of public and non-public pattern, in order to ensure comfort and security to the visitors, the museum’s staff and the objects.
