Bjarke Ingels Makes No Little Plans

Danish architect ready to leave his footprints in Manhattan and beyond

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, principal of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), has set his sights on the Big Apple. Since September, he has been jet-setting back and forth between his Copenhagen headquarters and his new Manhattan office in preparation for a closely-watched mystery debut.
Already an established member of the young architectural vanguard (with an icon of his own in the shape of a figure-eight-shaped housing complex in Copenhagen), Ingels told AN that he is prepared to take American real-estate development head-on: “Everyone has been warning us that it’s impossible to work with American developers—that they’re too profit-driven,” Ingels said. “But it’s really exactly the same with developers everywhere.”

While some architects balk at the idea of working with big-time developers, Ingels enjoys finding overlapping interests. In fact, Ingels is working on a new book tentatively called Bigamy, detailing this manifesto of inclusivism, much of which he said he sees all around New York. “It’s what America is all about,” the architect said. “Bigamy is a radical embrace of different interests and ideas. To accommodate instead of eliminate. America’s surf-and-turf is the best example of bigamy. Combining two opposite things into a new hybrid is really quite delicious.”
For Ingels, developer and architect can be allies. “People want nice apartments with good views, day light, and good public spaces. That’s also good marketing for a developer. When you increase the quality, you increase the value. We’re designing for overlap.”

After completing a series of large-scale residential blocks in Copenhagen, BIG’s first American commission pushes the boundaries further and appears tailor-made for sustainable-minded Ingels. Last year, the Durst Organization, developer of the ultra-green Bank of America Tower, invited BIG to evaluate a massive site along Manhattan’s West Side for a planned residential project. “Durst is really innovative, especially in terms of the sustainable highrise,” said Ingels.
BIG’s 57th Street project isn’t their first foray into North American architecture, either. Ingels worked on the Seattle Public Library while still at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in the 1990s and is currently working on a high rise in Vancouver, a museum competition on the East Coast, and recently partnered with SOM on a proposal for the St. Louis Gateway Arch design competition (the Michael Van Valkenburg team won).
Ingels’ own big plans are to also go west: “Chicago hasn’t found its form yet, but we’re in talks with [developer] Dan McCaffery about a large, mixed-use New Urban waterfront development,” he explained. The project would be part of the four-billion-dollar, SOM-planned South Works, on the site of an old U.S. Steel plant.

While the physical forms of BIG’s designs can seem radically new, Ingels insists they are the product of continuous evolution rather than revolution. “I believe in the exchange of ideas over time. Revolutions are messy. You lose a lot of stored cultural knowledge by starting from scratch, and end up making the same mistakes anew.”
Ingels sees New York in its own evolutionary period brought about by financial and climate stress. “These crises are allowing for a reconsideration of the parameters that created a city like New York,” he said, pointing to the city’s advances in bike lanes, amenities like the High Line, and an initiative to plant one million trees as evidence of this shift. Already raring to go like a real New Yorker, the architect said, “We’re blurring the boundary between urban and suburban, and merging them into a hybrid that allows us to explore more interesting typologies.”
Ingels is keeping a closed mouth on further details about the anticipated 57th Street project. “All I can say is that 57th Street represents the marriage between the European courtyard building and the American skyscraper. But there’s a lot of room in there. Even if you know what the parents look like, you can’t tell how the child will end up.”

How Architects Work in the Current Times

By.Baraona Pohl

“What defines the Internet is its social architecture. It’s the living environment that counts, the live interaction, not just the storage and retrieval procedure.” -Geert Lovink, 2005

Last week we were invited to the HP Designjet Launch and BIG’s House 8 Presentation. The experience was really striking, because being there with some other architects and bloggers, made us think about how work systems are changing so fast, that some times is difficult to even notice them until you find yourself inside that system, working and sharing information without any limitations.
That made us re-think about what social networks and web 2.0 are doing in the field of architectural production. All the new tools we’re discovering every day, make the practice more collaborative and open. Some months ago, we wrote in a guest post for Ymag:
Now communication is more dynamic and also it may be a little bit confusing because of that. With blogs actualized every single day and using social networks as facebook and twitter, architects may have a personal contact in between them, with the users of their buildings and also with researchers that are working on new materials and constructive solutions.

At that time, we were speculating and trying to describe the reality we found around us, but now, we can positive say that the architecture field, at least the firms working on projects in different countries at the same time, is taking advantage of all these tools to materialise ideas, as Bjarke Ingels [founder of BIG] showed at his presentation.

There are also two points we want to remark here, the first one is that we find amazing that some big companies, in this case HP, are providing their clients not only their products, but also a service using cloud computing. The ties in between users from different places help to create new ways of understanding the work-flow. With these new tools, now it’s possible to enable technical design teams to easily access, share and print large format project files online anytime, anywhere, as they pointed.
For the event, they not only invited traditional media but also hp a group of bloggers, including The Pop-Up City, Archimag, urbanophil, pwcom 2.0 and us; and also gave us the opportunity to meet “face-to-face” some other people that we were already following via twitter or facebook. The fact of thinking on bloggers to attend to this kind of events is a positive one, that brings to mind Javier Arbona’s question, when he asked: “Has a blog actually had a significant impact on a building in the process of being designed or built? What was the outcome?”

House 8 - BIG

After the press presentation, we were invited to visit BIG’s House 8, that was released here at ArchDaily before, and also here you can find the work-in-progress videos. Bjarke Ingels presented the project and the book Yes is More. Here are some images about the House 8 in a cloudy day and some others about Bjarke’s presentation:

Rem Koolhaas on CNN, the end of the star architect?

By David Basulto

CNN’s Talk Asia just featured an interesting interview with Rem Koolhaas. At the beginning of the video we see the Prada Transformer in action.
Highlights of this interview are Dubai, which lead to Koolhaas talking about the public sector and the stimulus, and his views on the Generic City.
When talking about influence (Rem was on the 100 most influential people list by Time magazine in 2008) and “star architects”, Koolhaas sentences the term to death:
“I think it’s a name that is actually degrading to the vast majority of people it is applied to. And it really is a kind of political term that for certain clients is important because they use star architects. My hope is that through the current complexity that title will exit discretely and disappear”.

The new Port House, Antwerp, Belgium by Zaha Hadid Architects

Zaha Hadid Architects have won a competition to design the new headquarters of Antwerp Port Authority in Antwerp, Belgium.

The 12,800 square metre development consists of an glazed extension above the former fire station, supported asymmetrically on three concrete pillars.

Clad in glass and aluminium, the 46 metre-high extension overlooks the city and port.

The building will house approximately 500 staff; the refurbished, existing building will house public counters, offices and meeting rooms, while the five-storey extension will comprise an auditorium and restaurant, as well as additional offices and meeting rooms.





Design proposal

The design team from Zaha Hadid Architects proposed a very dynamic architecture that strikes up a dialogue with the Oosterweel road link, with the Lange Wapper bridge forming a backdrop to the New Port House. With its unique design, its facade architecture and its height of 46 metres, the new Port Authority will be an iconic building, visible from many different directions.
The concept is a free interpretation of a beam-shaped volume raised above the existing fire brigade building and supported on three sculptured concrete pillars housing the stairs and lifts. Two of the pillars are situated on the covered inner courtyard of the firehouse, while the third is located beside an external support point and consists of a panoramic lift shaft.
The new volume is oriented North-South parallel to the Kattendijk dock. The head of the building on the South side is a frame that looks towards the city and clearly marks the start of the port area.
The outside walls are made up of glass triangles, some transparent and some reflecting. These do not all lie in the same plane but are rotated slightly with respect to one another, creating an attractive reflecting play of incoming light in a reference to Antwerp’s diamond industry.
The present firehouse will be kept free of building all around, so that the four outside walls will be fully respected. As for the arrangement of the inside spaces, consultations will be held with Flanders Real Estate Heritage and the Monuments department of the City of Antwerp to determine whether open-plan offices (as laid down in the schedule of requirements) are possible, either partly or throughout.
The inner courtyard will be roofed over at the height of the second story so as to create an enclosed interior space. This central entrance hall will be considered as a semi-public space, with various enquiry desks (Personnel department, Harbourmaster’s Office, Planning Permission & Environment Permit office and Port Dues payment desk) integrated in the inside wall portals.
A sculptural, sloping roof unites an underground lobby with the covered inner court. Access to the underground car park is an important aspect of the overall concept, with the loading & unloading bays and the refuse handling facilities also located here. The car park has space for 300 or so cars and consists of a single underground level. The design of the square can be arranged so that daylight is allowed to enter. The above-ground layout forms part of a design project that is being carried out in consultation with the city departments responsible, with the main imperative being to “preserve the visual quality of the outside spaces in the Het Eilandje area.”
The open plan offices are indeed very open, so that office staff will have a great impression of space with a view along the various outside walls. The concept for the open plan office also allows for small areas in which to hold meetings, along with separate study offices.

Le Corbusier meets Albert Einstein

By David Basulto

Le Corbusier and Albert Einstein (1946)

Two of the brightest minds from the past century.
Back in 1946, Le Corbusier meet Albert Einstein at Princeton after traveling to New York to present at the United Nations his project for the UN Headquarters.
I had the pleasure of discussing the “Modulor” at some length with Professor Albert Einstein at Princeton. I was then passing through a period of great uncertainty and stress; I expressed myself badly, I explained the “Modulor” badly, I got bogged down in the morass of “cause and effect”… At one point, Einstein took a pencil and began to calculate. Stupidly, I interrupted him, the conversation turned to other things, the calculation remained unfinished. The friend who had brought me was in the depths of despair. In a letter written to me the same evening, Einstein had the kindness to say this of the “Modulor”: “It is a scale of proportions which makes the bad difficult and the good easy.” There are some who think this judgement is unscientific. For my part, I think it is extraordinarily clear-sighted. It is a gesture of friendship made by a great scientist towards us who are not scientists but soldiers on the field of battle. The scientist tells us: “This weapon shoots straight: in the matter of dimensioning, i.e. of proportions, it makes tour task more certain.”

- Le Corbusier, The Modulor (1954)

Via Awesome People Hanging Together.

Saya mempunyai kesenangan [dari] mendiskusikan “Modulor” pada/di beberapa panjangnya dengan Professor Albert Einstein pada/di Princeton. Saya selanjutnya sedang melintas masa ketidak-pastian dan tekanan besar; Saya menyatakan diri sendiri dengan sangat buruk, Saya menerangkan “Modulor” dengan sangat buruk, Saya jatuh dalam rawa “menyebabkan dan efek”… Pada satu titik, Einstein mengambil satu pensil dan mulai untuk mengkalkulasi. Dengan bodoh, Saya menyela dia, percakapan mengarah ke hal lain, kalkulasi tersisa belum selesai. Teman yang telah membawa saya mulai dalam k keputus-asaan. Dalam satu surat ditulis kepada saya pada malam yang  sama, Einstein mempunyai kebaikan untuk mengatakan ini “Modulor”: “Adalah satu skala [dari] proporsi [yang] membuat tidak  sulit dan  mudah.” Ada beberapa yang berpikir penghakiman ini adalah tak ilmiah. Dalam bagian/keahlian ku, Saya kira itu adalah  luar biasa serta berpandangan tajam. Adalah satu isyarat [dari] persahabatan dibuat oleh [satu] ilmuwan besar bukan saja para ilmuwan tetapi prajurit yang berada di  medan pertempuran. Ilmuwan mengatakan kepada kami: “Senjata ini menembak langsung: berkenaan dengan dimensi, misalnya. dari proporsi, itu membuat tugas perjalanan keliling yang lebih fokus.”

Catatan ringan dari saya bukan untuk menilai kapasitas dari para nominator,ada yang mengganjal dalam diri saya; kalau dilihat karya nominasi ini mungkin karena letaknya saja berada di daerah Banten,bukan para desainer/arsiteknya; atau mungkin para desainer/arsitek daerah Banten lebih banyak karyanya di Jakarta atau daerah lainnya??; atau banyak potensi dari desainer/arsitek Banten yang tidak terakomodasi dalam wadah IAI Banten??atau mungkin kami baru saja berdiri dan lebih banyak konsolidasi ke dalam dan menguatkan barisan terlebih dahulu?? ;banyak sekali kemungkinan lainnya.

Mudah-mudahan dari event award IAI Nasional ini menggugah para Desainer /Arsitek daerah Banten lebih bergairah untuk lebih banyak berkarya lagi dan semoga Bisa menjadi Tuan di Rumah Sendiri.  Selamat Berkarya!!!!

 

 

Sayembara Rancangan Skematik Perluasan MUSEUM NASIONAL

 

 Museum Nasional telah memiliki Master Plan 1996 yang akan meningkatkan statusnya sebagai museum terpandang di kelas internasional. Dalam perjalanannya, sejumlah kendala terutama krisis moneter 1998/1999--mengakibatkan penundaan pembangunan. Pembangunan Gedung B baru direalisasikan di tahun 2006.

Memasuki dekade kedua abad XXI, Museum Nasional perlu segera mengejar ketertinggalannya di antara museum-museum kelas internasional, baik di tingkat ASEAN, Asia, maupun dunia. Koleksi yang dimiliki Museum Nasional sudah memiliki kelas tersendiri dan telah dikenal luas di seluruh dunia.  Namun bangunan museum dan fasilitas di dalamnya masih memerlukan peningkatan, baik dari segi kualitas maupun kuantitas.

Sebagaimana perkembangan di dunia saat ini, museum tidak lagi dianggap sebagai sebuah gudang barang antik belaka. Museum tidak lagi dianggap sekadar sebuah tempat menyaksikan koleksi benda-benda masa lalu saja.  Museum dewasa ini memiliki peran yang multi-dimensi. Sejumlah pakar bahkan telah mengangkat konsep museum terkini dengan istilah “cultural supermarket.” Museum juga didorong agar memiliki karakter seperti sebuah “civic center.”

Tinjau ulang Master Plan 1996 telah disusun dan dapat disimak dalam lampiran.  Tindak lanjut dari laporan tersebut adalah pengembangannya lewat sayembara. Melalui sayembara rancangan skematik, diharapkan lahir gagasan-gagasan segar bagi pengembangan Museum Nasional sebagaimana yang kita harapkan bersama

 KETENTUAN PESERTA
a.Sayembara ini terbuka bagi anggota IAI yang memiliki kompetensi dalam bidang Arsitektur yang memiliki Sertifikat Keahlian Arsitektur (SKA) Madya dan masih berlaku.
b.Peserta dapat berupa perseorangan atau mewakili kelompok.
Bagi peserta / kelompok, yang diperkenankan minimal hanya salah satu anggota yang memiliki SKA, yang akan menjadi Ketua / Penanggung Jawab, maksimal satu kelompok terdiri dari 5 (lima) orang termasuk ketuanya.
c.Setiap peserta boleh mengirimkan proposal / karya lebih dari 1 ( satu ) alternatif namun dalam pendaftaran yang berbeda.
d.Peserta yang memasukkan proposal / karya akan mendapatkan sertifikat dengan nilai KUM, sebagai peserta dan pemenang.
e.Pemasukan Karya pada format A1 susunan vertikal (portrait) yang dilekatkan di atas panel ringan dan kaku ( disarankan jenis impra board warna putih ) seukuran standar panel tersebut.

What is Design?

What is design?
Design is about finding a balance. There’s a Japanese word for the place in between – “ma”. It’s the interval of time between two things. It’s the point in the swing of a pendulum when the object switches from an upswing to a downswing. It’s the pause just between. It’s the moment just before something happens, or changes, or becomes clear, or comes into focus. But not yet. It’s the best part of the rollercoaster, right after the climb, and just before you fall. It’s anticipation. The space between. – Ma
I think that’s where “design” is. When you design something, you start with a blank page. The options seem endless and the task can seem too complex. In fact, most of us never get past this point. But, as you look at that blank page, memories of everything you’ve done before begin to enter your mind. Everything else you’ve seen, and (more importantly) experienced begins to flood the blank page. Everything you know about the project wells up in your mind; the details, the interconnections, the opportunities, the obstacles, the patterns, and the context. Eventually, you’ll sense a change in direction about to happen. That’s when you start to draw…
Right at the moment between what you knew before you started and what you are about to learn. – Ma

To complete the vision for the extension Studio Daniel Libeskind worked closely with the director, curators, core exhibition team, the contract architect and the Board of Trustees. Since its opening, the new building has become a major cultural landmark for Denver, attracting thousands of visitors to the museum complex.

“One of the challenges of building the Denver Art Museum was to work closely and respond to the extraordinary range of transformations in light, coloration, atmospheric effects, temperature and weather conditions unique to this City. I insisted these be integrated not only functionally and physically, but culturally and experientially for the benefit of the visitors’ experience.
The new building is not based on an idea of style or the rehashing of ready made ideas or external shape because its architecture does not separate the inside from the outside or provide a pretty facade behind which a typical experience exists; rather this architecture has an organic connection to the public at large and to those aspects of experience that are also intellectual, emotional, and sensual. The integration of these dimensions for the enjoyment and edification of the public is achieved in a building that respects the hand crafted nature of architecture and its immediate communication from the hand, to the eye, to the mind. After all, the language of architecture beyond words themselves is the laughter of light, proportion and materiality.”
