INTRODUCTION



Nostalgia is something everyone longs for when times are bad. It is this nostalgic reflection that gives people hope for a better future. War is one of those cases that brought much destruction to Germany, but those nostalgic memories give Germany the strength rebuild itself back to its former glory. As an introduction to a semester long design process with the goal of brining back the life Germany once had. A nostalgic revival. Berlin is one of Germany’s oldest and largest cities to this day. It flourished from its earliest years through the Industrial Revolution, but hit a wall litteraly around the time of the Cold War. Seperated from its people, culture, and art that to this day still is not 100% retrieved from past events. Even one of Germany’s most famous photographer’s was driven out around the time of World War II, Helmut Newton. Kulturforum is Berlin’s central hub for everything to do with its cutural expertise. Film, Museum’s, Galleries, and anything that represents a cultural significance is located in this area. Many distinct architectural landmarks surround the site that will develop into the new Helmut Newton Foundation which is located West of the center of Potsdamer Platz. Mies Van der Rohe’s Neue Nationalgalerie and Sharoun’s Philharmonic are just two of the inspirations that make this site of much value and importance to the region of Berlin. Investigating into this area is necessary to update Kulturforum as the cultural headquarter’s and bring new inspiration to an area that is still rebuilding itself from dark times. Nostalgic interjection of a native Berliner into the area is part of the glory Germany once had and will soon have again.

Berlin Being Germany’s largest city it is no surprise that it’s cultural range is just as vast and diverse. From the cities many galleries and museums to the youth nightlife, prestigious cuisine and performing arts are just a few of what Berlin has to offer. Located in the Northeastern part of Germany that is mainly marshy woodlands. Berlin’s topography is probably one of the only things about it not as vast being mainly a flat area in general. Its topography has made it part of the Northern European Plain (stretch from northern France to western Russia). Much of this region was formed by the Berlin-Warsaw Urstromtal (glacial valley from the ice age) and now sits between the northern Barnim Plateau and the Teltow Plateau to the south. This created the River Spree that runs along Berlin’s famous master plan, Museum Island. Situated in a woodland based area is not the only part that makes Berlin a very green region. Berlin has a hard focus on sustainability when it comes green spaces throughout the area. Being in a termperate climate the green space/rooftops are not mainly implemented to escape the eat, but to reduce the solar gain on such a highly populated city.

MITTE Residing in most central point of Berlin it is also Berlin’s first borrough that encompases both West and East Berlin districts once seperated by the Wall. wwThis province is the heart of Berlin’s history housing some of its oldest and most precious nostalgic reminders. Museum Island, Brandenburg Gate, Unter den Linden, Potsdamer Platz, and the Reichstag are a few key points throughout the city.

12 I Context I History The Beginning.... Dating back to 1230 was the beginning of Germany’s largest city and it was a fraction of the size it is today. Located along the River Spree it attracted a greater population and required necessary expansion to accomadate. As the settlement began to spread across the river throughout the decades the River would not be the only thing seperating Berlin. Berlin took off during the 19th century around the time of the Industrial Revolution and completely transformed the city for the better. This sparked a dramatic rise in their economy and population resulting in the identity of being Germany’s central hub. That only increased into the 20th century after the first World War when berlin absorbed a significant number of suburban areas bringing its popluation to about 4 million. During the Weimar Era, Berlin became famous for its cultural transformations, but that would soon be interrupted. As Berlin and Germany itself flourished through the years it hit a major interruption in the 1940’s, World War II. Nazi rule brought much destruction to the Berlin area in 194345 from air raids on the city destorying mostly its buildings and citizens reducing the city to misery. Even after the war in 1945 Berlin was under the command of the powers who were victorious and decided to section the city off it four seperate sectors. Eventually it was taken to the extreme in 1961 around the time of the Cold War, which caused much tension and start the construction of the Berlin wall that would seperate East Berlin and West Berlin. Not only did the wall divide the people, but also its art, culture, and architecture as well. Finally in 1989 the tensions of the Cold War had ended and increased pressure from the citizens of East Germany was just the push needed to bring down the Berlin wall. Reunifying Germany as a whole brought a new hope to the city that would reestablish what it had lost. Nostalgic visions soon would be rebuilt and restored to Berlin. Art, architecture, and many other cultural aspects of the society will eventually bring Berlin to be one of the most worldy cities of the present day.

Nostalgic Restoration Berlin was a flourishing city before World War II and that is how they wanted to remember it. Rebuilding the times when things were positive would bring the people to forget the ill times and strive to create a new positive history for their Germany.

18 I Context I Climate N

Berlin can be classified as a temperate oceanic climate that averages temperates in the summer to around 23 degrees Celcius (73 degrees Farenheit) with lows around 14 degrees Celcius (57 degrees Farenhiet). Winters are significantly colder with the average temperature to be a high of 2 degrees Celcius (36 degrees Farenheit) and a low of roughly -2 degrees Celcius (28 degrees Farenheit). These temperature ranges make air conditioning in Berlin not as important as in an area like Miami for example, but the heating is where you want to get the most for you dollar.

Kulturforum Kulturforum is a culutural hub in the area of West Berlin housing some of today’s innovative architectural designs by Shcharoun and Mies Van Der Rohe. Unfortunately, it was not always like that after World War II where most of the area was not able to escape the effects of war. In the 1950’s and 60’s was when the area began to revitalize itself bringing back a majority of the art collections that were split up after the construction of the Berlin Wall. Today, Kulturforum is part of a new commercial attraction called Potsdamer Platz bringing life back to an area that once and is a cultural significance to us all. Providing an addition to this cultural hub is the development and integration of the Helmut Newton Foundation into the site indicated by the square in the image to the right. The Foundation provides the amenities to display one of Germany’s most famous photographer’s photgraph’s and much more.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK


Helmut Newton Bringing Voyerism Back to Berlin Helmut Newton, the prolific, widely imitated fashion photographer whose provacative, erotically charged black and white photos were a mainstay of vogue and other publications, died yesterday after a car crash in hollywood. He was 83. The los angeles police told the associated press that mr. Newton lost control of his cadillac after leaving the chateau marmont hotel and crashed into a wall across the street. He died at the cedars-sinai medical center, the agency reported. Guided by a passion for the strength and allure of the female form, mr. Newton reflected the sexual revolution of the 1960’s and 70’s which coincided with his rise to fame. He photographed some of the most beautiful women in the world in poses that emphasized their sexuality and often an accompanying sense of danger and violence.

Helmut Newton Foundation Just a year before his death Helmut established the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, Germany. The wish Newton had for this establishment was that it not be a “dead museum”, but rather a “living institution” that not only brings life to his photography, but also bring people into his life to create a more inspirational understanding of his ways. Newton dedicated part of the institution to a permanent exhibit that display’s many sets, film, newtonmobile, camera’s, and his many publications. Along side Newton’s work is his wife’s June Brunell (a.k.a. Alice Springs) that had a significant involvement in her husbands work. Finally, the accomodation of other artist’s work gives this museum another display of work that Newton may have helped inspire.

LIfe and Works of Helmut Newton

Life

• Born in 1920 to a wealthy Jewish family in Berlin, he bought his first camera at 12. As a teenager, he was apprenticed to the german theatrical photographer Yva, who was also fond of the naked female form. At 18, however, he was forced to flee the Nazis. Eventually arriving in singapore...Later moved to australia. In 1948, he married June Brown, a photographer who uses the name Alice Springs professionally. He moved to France in the late 50’s. There he began to be noticed for his risque images, eventually earning the nickname “THE KING OF KINK.” • 1947: Meets helmut newton, marries him a year later • 1970: June stands in for Helmut Newton who is incapacitated by illness, for a commerical photo shoot in Paris, thus begins her career as commercial photographer under the pseudonym Alice Springs. • 1998: Swiss production of the volume “us and them” by Helmut and June Newton.

Works

• In Paris 1966 Helmut shot a series of photos for queen where the women gaze out the window as rocket and violence ensues. Here he seems to reference a time where he was in Berlin and watches demostrations from his bedroom window. Much of the work from 1960s is in ways are recreation of events from his childhood. • In Milan 1968 Helmut had to drive from Paris to Milan by car because of a revolution taking place. Not only did the event change the fashion of the time, but because of having to get to Milan by car, Newton was inspired to capturethe energy of the time by shooting in unconventional places like in front of an oil refinery. • The Story of O also became a point of interest during this time along with the photography of Aruthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig. • 1980’S “A Reflected Helmut Newton” • Newton produces a series of voyeuristic photos where he is partially or entirely inserted in the picture. These pictures have often been interpreted as an expression of the independence of voyeurism and expressionism. Newtons presence is reminiscent of iconographic tradition which extends from the cave painter’s hand print to Hitchcocks appearance in films. The all make sure to say I am the author of this work. • The theme of voyeurism contains litttle of the seductive force and automatically turns the viewer into a voyeur since the object of desire has already been claimed. • Helmut newton: “many photographers like doing self portraits. I think it’s even more interesting when one is part of a whole mise-en-scene.” Frank horvat: “maybe because it’s so contrary to the nature of photography, which is, after all, an eye directed outwards. Photographic self-portraiture is almost paradoxical. This may be why one is tempted to try it.” Helmut newton: “i don’t know, i didn’t look at it that way. It’s just that if the theme had something to do with my life, past or present, it seems a nice idea to put myself in it.” [Frank horvat with helmut newton: october 1986] • “There has been a series for vogue in ‘79 or ‘80, they asked me to wear fashion, and then i got this idea. I did it in the paris vogue studio, because it was a place i knew well and around which much of my life had evolved. It’s a very personal picture, that’s why it’s one of my favorites. There is first of all me, with my camera, but there is also june, who also got a wonderfully funny expression while she looks at my naked model, there is the vogue studio, with the clothrack, the door to the street is open, you see the cars parked on place du palais bourbon, a place that have known for 22 years, where i had taken thousands of pictures, especially during haute courture collections. The photograph has all the signals of my life: my models, my camera, my wife, the studio, the place du palais bourbon. That ‘s what i call an autobiographical picture.” [Frank horvat with helmut newton: october 1986] • In his photographs, newton often shows his women together with life-like mannequins. At first glance, we can hardly distinguish the two. The plastic bodies resemble real women.Newton ensures that they look real, including pubic and underarm hair. He photographs them embracing the real women, kissing them, reclining on a bed. Here as well, ritual actions are performed in front of the camera. These actions are of unconcealed sexuality, but here too the distancing from the act dispalyed is so great than an emotionally charged tension hardly arises.

APPENDIX


Roger Williams University School of Architecture Spring Semester 2013 ARCH 513 Comprehensive Studio Syllabus Roberto Viola Ochoa, Adjunct Faculty Working with veiled nostalgia….. Berlin, Germany. Course: ARCH 513 (5 Credits) Schedule: Tuesday/Friday, 1:30-6:00 pm Location: TBD Faculty: Roberto Viola Ochoa, Adjunct Faculty rviola@prodigy.net 857-413 8455 (cell). Before 1:00 am. Via text message is preferable and faster. Office hours: 6:00-7:00 pm Tue. And Fri. or by appointment Course Description: The developments of the twentieth century: WWI, Nazi period, WW2, cold war, building of the wall and its fall decades later, have shaped the city and its people in dramatic and borderline abrupt terms. Berlin is fast trying to re-construct a future by closely looking at the past, which leads to interesting design questions which require at times permanent, at times temporary creative answers. The studio will focus on two hypothetical interventions one temporary, one permanent in the ‘border zone’ between the East and the West. The nature of the projects is also diverse. One will honor and promote the legacy of one of Berlin’s most significant visual artists; the other will be utilitarian to support (and question) the future plans for the Palast der Republik site. Site one: Kulturforum (Cultural Center) The proposed site has gone through tremendous transformations throughout the 20th century. The origin of the area as it exists today dates back to the early 1950’s. At the end of WWII, the public art collection was divided amongst the Bode Museum in the East and a small enclave in Dahlem, a western district of Berlin. The Kulturforum became the cultural center of the West and begun with the construction of the Berliner Philarmonie by Hans Scharoun. Later additions by Scharoun and Mies among others, completed the what we see today.

The proposed project sits on a vacant site in between the two iconic buildings and will house a new Helmut Newton Foundation, currently occupying an old Prussian officer’s casino in the historic center of West Berlin. HNF was established in 2003 and it focuses on promoting and preserving the work of both Helmut Newton and his wife June, an accomplished photographer on her own right. It is understood as a ‘living institution’, in which the work of Helmut Newton can be seen in dialogue with the work of current photographers. Given how the city has evolved, the site represents quite a challenge, in which all sides have virtually equal hierarchical weight and it is part of a green network accessing the Forum. In addition, the program poses several possibilities. Today, the Foundation occupies a building which original purpose was not to exhibit photography, therefore, the program had to adapt to the space. The new building offers the opportunity to pose the question about what the ideal setting to view such work should be. Particularly, work that is so rich, critical and at times quite controversial. Site two: Museuminsel (Museum Island) The Stadtschloss was a Royal Palace on Fisher’s Island, known today as Museum Island. It was a Royal residence for Prussian kings between early 1700’s and 1918 and it became a museum following the fall of the German Empire in 1918. After WWII, the Palace was seriously damaged, and even though rebuilding it would have been possible, the German Democratic Republic authorities decided to demolish it in the 1950’s. In 1973 under king Erich Honecker, the Palast der Republik was built occupying most of the site of the former palace. After reunification, asbestos forced the authorities to close the building, which would be eventually demolished in 2006, process which ended in 2008. After reunification, several interest groups became active in the discussion about what to do with the site. Some advocated for the reconstruction of the former Royal Palace either fully or partially (facades). Others, pushed for preserving the Palast der Republik, recognizing it as part of German History; and a third group advocated for making a park on the site. As of today, not without opposition, the intention is to rebuild three of the four facades of the old Royal Palace, with a contemporary interior. Since the economic and philosophical conditions surrounding this site are still in flux, we are going to be conceptualizing a project that would temporarily occupy the space with


usable program and at the same time, generate revenue for future interventions on the site. The building will support the light commercial activity that currently happens on the edge of the canal.

-Sustainable Design Understanding of the principles of sustainability in making architecture and urban design decisions that conserve natural and built resources, including culturally important buildings and sites, and in the creation of healthful buildings and communities

You are responsible for selecting and concentrating your efforts in the design of one of these two projects. However, there will be a substantial amount of work done in groups. Preliminary programs will be provided, but the hope is that a more specific tailoring of uses will surface as the research on each of the sites develops.

-Building Materials and Assemblies Understanding of the principles, conventions, standards, applications, and restrictions pertaining to the manufacture and use of construction materials, components, and assemblies

Pre-Requisite: ARCH 413 studios, ARCH 331, 333, 424 and 431.

-Building Envelope Systems Understanding of the basic principles and appropriate application and performance of building envelope materials and assemblies

Objectives and Outcomes: The Comprehensive Studio responds primarily (but not exclusively, given the nature of the studio) to the following NAAB Student Performance Criteria: -Comprehensive Design Ability to produce an architecture project informed by a comprehensive program, from schematic design through the detailed development of programmatic spaces, structural and environmental systems, life-safety provisions, wall sections, and building assemblies, as may be appropriate; and to assess the completed project with respect to the program’s design criteria. -Building Systems Integration Ability to assess, select, and integrate structural systems, environmental systems, lifesafety systems, building envelope systems, and building service systems into building design -Site Conditions. Ability to respond to natural and built site characteristics in the development of a program and the design of a project. -Building Code Compliance Understanding of the codes, regulations, and standards applicable to a given site and building design, including occupancy classifications, allowable building heights and areas, allowable construction types, separation requirements, occupancy requirements, means of egress, fire protection, and structure. -Detailed Design Development Ability to assess, select, configure, and detail as an integral part of the design appropriate combinations of building materials, components, and assemblies to satisfy the requirements of building programs

-Life Safety Understanding of the basic principles of life-safety systems with an emphasis on egress General Requirements -

-

Only legible work will be reviewed at any review (desk crit, pin-up, or jury). There should be a reasonable level of commitment in every drawing/model the student chooses to show. Printed material should be available at every desk crit, pin-up or review. No drawing will be reviewed on a computer screen (unless previously negotiated with the instructor). Work must be printed and ready by 2:00 o’clock. Research assignments implies a thorough search of information (books, internet, etc) and it also implies for the student to dissect, analyze through drawings and models the information found. Bringing only the printouts does NOT constitute acceptable research. The work this semester will be done both individually and in groups. Given the intensity of the course, daily commitment is expected from the students. Be warned, working only on studio days will not be sufficient. All requirements for each review MUST be completed without exceptions. This is a sort of 'contract' scenario in which you are obliged to comply. Serial iterations are highly encouraged and are necessary as part of the search process. NEVER expect to reach the solution in the first attempt.

. Attendance Design is a process in which feedback and participation is critical; it is consequently imperative that you attend class and bring drawings and/or models to discuss with the instructor. Unexcused absences will constitute grade deduction. More than 3 unexcused absences will constitute an automatic failure. Attendance is mandatory at all reviews (refer to course schedule for dates).


Reviews are a privilege not a right. Every review will be subject to a gate process. Should there be not enough work, you will not be allowed to present. Printed material for the review will be done several days in advance (refer to schedule). Should you be in the situation in which your attendance is compromised, please do not hesitate to let the instructor know ahead of time. Students requiring special accommodations or assistance in the course should schedule and appointment with the instructor as soon as possible. Students are expected to conduct themselves, and complete their work in a manner that reflects the highest standards of the profession Grading Upon completion of each Phase of Term-long Project each student group’s work and the contribution of each individual group member will be assessed & evaluated. The following general criteria will be followed for evaluation grading: "A" - is awarded for problem work, which has challenged the student, the student group, the studio & the instructor and usually demanded an extraordinary amount of effort. Issues of the student's own discovery are investigated and presented in an artful manner. "B" - is given when the student's response goes beyond a thorough understanding of the problem's objectives, and has created a design of superior creativity. Presentations are skillfully composed & executed in a clear & competent manner. "C" - is the average grade given when a student demonstrates a thorough understanding of the problem's objectives and presents a complete response to the problem in an appropriate, clear and competent manner. Presentations are complete and meet all the minimum requirements. "D" - reflects an incomplete or incorrect understanding of the objectives and issues the problem demands of a student. Presentations might be incomplete or executed inappropriately. The student is encouraged to meet privately with the instructor for extra help, suggestions, explanations and comments. “F� - is given for unsatisfactory performance & incomplete work. The grades will be announced following the completion of each Phase. Pluses and minuses may be applied to the grades above and help rank work within the studio, or reflect effort and initiative. Any Phase grade below a "B-" represents a condition that requires that the individual student be counseled to raise their level of achievement in the next Phase. Late problem submissions will not be accepted for evaluation & grading.

Note: Graduate Course Grading, GPA and Graduation Requirements: The minimum passing grade in SAAHP graduate level courses is a B-. The minimum GPA for Master of Architecture graduates is 3.0 in 500 & 600 level courses The semester grade is the result of the quality of the work, quantity of work, progress achieved, level of conceptual thinking, execution of the conceptual thinking and technical development, all weighing equally. Talent alone will not guarantee a high grade if it's not accompanied by a serious DAILY commitment. Students will receive written evaluations periodically after every single review. This evaluation will clearly state the deficiencies and the strength of the work, and the improvements that need to be undertaken. Students are always encouraged to have an open discussion about the grade with the instructor. The content of the discussion will be always confidential. Should there be major disagreements, special arrangements will be made following the School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation policies.

Berlin 1237

Berlin is one of Europe’s youngest cities, prior to 1237 it was known as Brandenburg. A small community with less then 6,000 inhabitants located in a marsh land on the Spree River. Even though Berlin is young it is packed with history from the first ruler Fredrick I to the reunion of Berlin and Germany after the second World War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Berlin is currently the largest city in Germany with a population of over 4 million in the metropolitan area and over 3.5 million in the out lying areas.

“A REFLECTED HELMUT NEWTON” NEWTON PRODUCES A SERIES OF VOYEURISTIC PHOTOS WHERE HE IS PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY INSERTED IN THE PICTURE. THESE PICTURES HAVE OFTEN BEEN INTERPRETED AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF VOYEURISM AND EXPRESSIONISM. NEWTONS PRESENCE IS REMINISCENT OF ICONOGRAPHIC TRADITION WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE CAVE PAINTER’S HAND PRINT TO HITCHCOCKS APPEARANCE IN FILMS. THE ALL MAKE SURE TO SAY I AM THE AUTHOR OF THIS WORK. THE THEME OF VOYEURISM CONTAINS LITTTLE OF THE SEDUCTIVE FORCE AND AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE VIEWER INTO A VOYEUR SINCE THE OBJECT OF DESIRE HAS ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED.

HELMUT NEWTON: “MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS LIKE DOING SELF PORTRAITS. I THINK IT’S EVEN MORE INTERESTING WHEN ONEAppendix IS PARTI 143 OF A WHOLE MISE-EN-SCENE.” FRANK HORVAT: “MAYBE BECAUSE IT’S SO CONTRARY TO THE NATURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY, WHICH IS, AFTER

ALL, AN EYE DIRECTED OUTWARDS. PHOTOGRAPHIC SELF-PORTRAITURE IS ALMOST PARADOXICAL. THIS MAY BE WHY ONE IS TEMPTED TO TRY IT.” HELMUT NEWTON: “I DON’T KNOW, I DIDN’T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY. IT’S JUST THAT IF THE THEME HAD SOMETHING TO

DO WITH MY LIFE, PAST OR PRESENT, IT SEEMS A NICE IDEA TO PUT MYSELF IN IT.” [FRANK HORVAT WITH HELMUT NEWTON: OCTOBER 1986]

IN HIS PHOTOGRAPHS, NEWTON OFTEN SHOWS HIS WOMEN TOGETHER WITH LIFE-LIKE MANNEQUINS. AT FIRST GLANCE, WE CAN HARDLY DISTINGUISH THE TWO. THE PLASTIC BODIES RESEMBLE REAL WOMEN.NEWTON ENSURES THAT THEY LOOK REAL, INCLUDING PUBIC AND UNDERARM HAIR. HE PHOTOGRAPHS THEM EMBRACING THE REAL WOMEN, KISSING THEM, RECLINING ON A BED. HERE AS WELL, RITUAL ACTIONS ARE PERFORMED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. THESE ACTIONS ARE OF UNCONCEALED SEXUALITY, BUT HERE TOO THE DISTANCING FROM THE ACT DISPALYED IS SO GREAT THAN AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED TENSION HARDLY ARISES. IT IS THUS UNDERSTANDABLE WHY ARTISTS IN OUR CENTURY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED BY THIS MAGICAL HYBRID BUT SEEMINGLY FREE WORLD.
