To recover from this aftermath, it focused on cost-effective construction plans to balance the needs of a regenerating city - It was inevitable that the structures of standardized assemblies were mass-produced to keep up with the ever-increasing demand of a crowding society.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">These generic features drive the modernized Seoul to become more homogeneous.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Acknowledging this societal homogeneity, our vision is to design a park that celebrates diversity in many ways. The Magok region is located in the West end of the city and embodies one of the last existing farms in Seoul. From these conditions of the site, we envisioned to have an urban farm (producing energy) as well as a waterfront acting as a traditionally styled Korean gate to blur the clear lines between two typical sets of conflicting values – the traditional versus the modern and the natural versus the artificial. It is our intention to juxtapose these contrasting ideas in a public space of diversity from which an eclectic society can emerge.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">//more text at the end of the page//</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/Y%20office/Magok/JNPA-YMagok-DIAGRAMS03.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Nodes of thresholds connected to other nodes are emerging into an open system that is inherently borderless allowing for continuous flow of various idea, energy, people, and goods to enter/exit the city. The traditional significance for a gate preserving valuable social message has been lost.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">A traditional gate is interesting because spatially it creates a moment of conflict. A flow of people entering the city collides with the opposite flow that leaves the city, increasing chances of random interaction.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">We explore the idea of Magok as a Korean gate by maximizing crowd interaction and creating the most diverse traffic as possible by clashing the two flows from in and out of the city. These mixed circulations are then embraced with the water stream that permeates the site. A waterfront of diverse traffics will emerge by fusing the human traffic with the water flow.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">ENERGY HARVEST</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Photovoltaic cells are arrayed across the reservoir and Zone E to extract solar energy. The cells are designed to adjust themselves according to the sun’s path provided by the weather database. This porous layer exists as a breathable skin allowing for the aquatic plants to grow underneath. These plants help clean the water and create new aquatic ecology in the site.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Energy can be collected through piezoelectric materials when stress is applied. This design integrates piezo-arrayed pathways within the natural ladscape of the park. They are arranged more densely in areas where more human traffic is expected such as the intersections. As Seoul crowd moves through the park, energy is collected. The crowd-generated electricity is then fed back into the new high-tech areas arouind the site and also exhibited within the park in forms of various light and sound.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The piezo devices are efficiently networked in ways that it can expect people’s movement. Majority of the system is turned off when no recent human activity has been sensed. When a piezo-sensor is pressed, however, it signals the sensors around to stand by for energy collection.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">More info at http: <a href="http://ynotwhy.com">http://ynotwhy.com</a></span><br /><br /><a href="http://jnpalbuquerque.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">//back to main//</span></a><br /></div>Joao Albuquerquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343029975436661256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939812058665921163.post-50224907742601705412010-07-27T18:43:00.013+02:002011-01-12T21:32:18.919+01:00TRANCOSO BUS TERMINAL<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5xWjkX-sEwRILoaWRUWgh3O2dPslWr19d4HYGRqxiK5fdFDYJj5B8HrBHE8WosPeQcIUAQ_HOBpl0EK4yC7Qf9Urufg9TKtaZV1ICIDGFb8EKa80TxZ_UHpX2aKbH3ybLl8mpiAtfMJWR/s1600/Y-Bus+Terminal.png"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5xWjkX-sEwRILoaWRUWgh3O2dPslWr19d4HYGRqxiK5fdFDYJj5B8HrBHE8WosPeQcIUAQ_HOBpl0EK4yC7Qf9Urufg9TKtaZV1ICIDGFb8EKa80TxZ_UHpX2aKbH3ybLl8mpiAtfMJWR/s400/Y-Bus+Terminal.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498622662725796274" border="0" /></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/Y%20office/TbusT/JNPA-BusT_images02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 598px; height: 162px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/Y%20office/TbusT/JNPA-BusT_images02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The opportunity to design of a Bus Terminal in Trancoso, city with a relevant historical patrimony in Portugal, emerges as a space to reflect over one of the most responsible systems among the contemporary society development, the Transportation.</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A bus station is a part of network that webs various places together and lets people to travel.

It’s scale outcomes out of these impositions (with a max. constant height of 9 meters) and it’s geometry from the researched circulation diagrams, intending to germinate a coherent public space.<br />The programmatic functions needed to the operation of a Bus Terminal are contained on the ground floor, like ticket offices, waiting rooms or boarding decks, always oriented towards the Castle. On the upper level was developed with this same orientation a square, a public open space that serves also the cafeteria (facing south, with view into a natural existing vale). Simultaneously with the external access circulations, there are also established internal connections that allow for the building to work as a whole, connecting the ticket areas, entrance and waiting room directly with the cafeteria.<br /><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">More info at <a href="http://ynotwhy.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://ynotwhy.com</span></a><a href="http://www.ynotwhy.com/"></a><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://jnpalbuquerque.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">//back to main//</span></span></span></a></div>Joao Albuquerquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343029975436661256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939812058665921163.post-27300264456593228512010-07-23T18:28:00.003+02:002010-07-23T19:01:26.651+02:00SAMPLE BOX<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHrUdwAbY4xP2ZqGPjl3Bkz7WvA0GR_XpD3_d6k3x1UnteSjXLubfEBx-BmRdxbVdsK-nD8x7aJk0nsKcz_WA-1kw464uR_xswR6ffdKhZzCoywTRGuejAGEiYV5voaBpwUWyLvt1nYwhq/s1600/ReD-Sample+Box.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHrUdwAbY4xP2ZqGPjl3Bkz7WvA0GR_XpD3_d6k3x1UnteSjXLubfEBx-BmRdxbVdsK-nD8x7aJk0nsKcz_WA-1kw464uR_xswR6ffdKhZzCoywTRGuejAGEiYV5voaBpwUWyLvt1nYwhq/s400/ReD-Sample+Box.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497139639991987970" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 477px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The design of the Sample BOX serves two simultaneous goals: to show the potential of the material Vitrakem for architecture (working as an exhibition of the multiple variations of the material), and to be a reference point for the people that pass by the Airport.<br />Conceptually, it has two main simple statements. First, it represents, in the literal sense of the name, a sample box of a specific material – Vitrakem. It is a ceramic material with 53 colors available in catalog, and these are the colors that the design contains and exhibits in its interior. Second, as a display object it has a defined exhibition space - an airport, a space for circulating and resting.<br />Negotiating these two assumptions, it results in a simple box that is carved through varying circulation paths and nesting/resting areas, revealing its colorful interior and the material in display. Besides the vertical display elements, the anthropomorphic conception of the circulation paths generates a topographic floor variation, contributing for a more interesting experience, either for the ones pass through it, either for the ones outside, observing someone varying in height while crossing it<br />Constructively, the exterior walls are constructed with layers of panels that form a sandwich one, composed by a wooden agglomerated and a Vitrakem sheet. The interior boards, with singular individual geometries, are CNC Water Jet cutted.<br />Regarding to the floor, it consists in a series of individually milled MDF blocks according to the specific geometries in the digital model, assembled to form the overall ground surface.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DIAGRAMS: generation</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-Diagrams-600PX.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 666px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-Diagrams-600PX.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">53 BOX COLOUR SCHEME & RESPECTIVE BOARDS FOR WATER JET</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-drawings011.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 450px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-drawings011.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">EXPLODED AXONOMETRIC</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-drawings0302.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 340px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-drawings0302.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />- -<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 372px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images04.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GROUND SURFACE</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 166px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />- -<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 407px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Sample%20Box/ReD-SampleBox-images02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rhinoceros</span><br /></div>Joao Albuquerquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343029975436661256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939812058665921163.post-88644324522954344242010-07-23T17:29:00.002+02:002011-03-09T18:43:52.954+01:00HORROR VACUI<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvTMOQPTXfQqWXxsejkleuUAZNYNdIeOYB0KJrCYLI__7I8x4gkhmDQI_DCjm9jIXsNU6AhCOG5d-fwlBQ9z2rS7DsRrZ6N3CK8qxiQL5Gtuer8fnptzPO0TTiSeX8hMHtsg48KKycblDD/s1600/ReD-Horror+Vacui.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvTMOQPTXfQqWXxsejkleuUAZNYNdIeOYB0KJrCYLI__7I8x4gkhmDQI_DCjm9jIXsNU6AhCOG5d-fwlBQ9z2rS7DsRrZ6N3CK8qxiQL5Gtuer8fnptzPO0TTiSeX8hMHtsg48KKycblDD/s400/ReD-Horror+Vacui.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497114361730688514" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-images01-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 492px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-images01-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The NAi (Netherlands Architecture Institute) reached ReD to design the Dutch exhibition for the Lisbon Architecture Triennale.<br />Under the theme of the Triennale itself, “Urban Voids”, the commissioner Hans Ibelings defined a sub theme, HORROR VACUI, as an analysis of the urban growth of the Dutch cities, which do not expand their area, but instead are occupying every empty space inside them.<br />Under this theme, the analysis of the Horror Vacui relies on the fear for empty spaces. On painting and sculpture, it translates on the fulfilment of every space left in the canvas or material.<br />Sharing the same principle, this exhibition relied on the occupation of the space designated for the Netherlands exhibition. This space fulfilling was translated by the presence of “buildings” in a city, volumes of different heights that occupied a grid of a a reticule of 1.2 metres , inserted in the dimensions of the space.<br />The volumes were variable in heights, with differences of 40cm, from 2.40m till 0.40m. On this rule, this six sets of buildings filled the space, depending on circulation areas (main - the empty space in the grid - and secondary ones) and on the exhibition spaces for panels and models.<br />This space and hypothetical city became then defined by the silhouette design of the volume buildings. The outline was a single closed polyline that defined space by contouring the edges, establishing different areas, spaces and groups inside the exhibition.<br />The 300 meters polyline was materialized in 196 aluminium profiles, sectioned in varied directions, depending on the shifts of the line while designing the space.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DIAGRAMS: generation</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-DIAGRAMS.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 377px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-DIAGRAMS.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />- -<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-drawings01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 370px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-drawings01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PERSPECTIVE ELEVATIONS</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-drawings02-600PX.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 287px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-drawings02-600PX.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-images03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 603px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Horror%20Vacui/ReD-HorrorVacui-images03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rhinoceros</span><br /><br /></div>Joao Albuquerquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343029975436661256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939812058665921163.post-40428187371030183542010-07-23T11:49:00.000+02:002010-07-23T11:56:24.254+02:00IMPERIUM<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1FQxFWGba4GBGngbCh2PGXcljD4cJZdTevskRBp86fyF7rU4WxLSdC62Gd7vnbMkwSZ3y_Em9jBlFGLn-8ZFaB7zSiwtRtRNQhXeBgk-sFqXBio37qZsN-KsO7Jsg2sSwPSe875LSwnS/s1600/ReD-Imperium.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1FQxFWGba4GBGngbCh2PGXcljD4cJZdTevskRBp86fyF7rU4WxLSdC62Gd7vnbMkwSZ3y_Em9jBlFGLn-8ZFaB7zSiwtRtRNQhXeBgk-sFqXBio37qZsN-KsO7Jsg2sSwPSe875LSwnS/s400/ReD-Imperium.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497036479156838770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images06.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 380px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images06.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The Spanish theater company La Fura Dels Baus recurred to ReD for consultancy for the design of a reconfigurable pyramid, for the show “IMPERIUM” starting the world tour in May’07, in Beijing.<br /><br />The composition of the object as a pyramid (to be climbed) would have to be achieved in the final part of the show, symbolizing a struggle for power.<br />On the other hand, the purpose along the show was to dissimulate it, being separated in parts with different shapes, performing along with the actors, supporting and participating as different sets in the development of the narrative.<br />This formal dissimulation was also reachable through the pyramid outer shell. The possibility of creating a non-regular skin, parallel to the reconfiguration of the rough geometrical shape led to the creation of a exterior membrane that, despite being variable and non-regular, provided steps in order to be climbed and allowed rebating numerous parts of it, achieving multiple reconfigurations.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FINAL CONFIGURATION</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 323px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images05.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PYRAMID STUDIES</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> (1)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 252px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(2)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 268px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(3)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 368px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(4)</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 346px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/ReD/Imperium/ReD-Imperium-images04.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rhinoceros</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Joao Albuquerquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343029975436661256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939812058665921163.post-89859822164235174062010-07-23T11:31:00.001+02:002010-07-23T11:58:39.134+02:00SKYSHELF<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzwwiEWFbc57RakWkTCUa8l37HDo2VrZR4o-BQKstC6HCo2ZOW2NmESzTbJ4zxObU139Q8mIuOkNDolTNT_S37WZr2B8yFk-Q02ab9dZ1AUGglRZpsfjr3iA8ZVLR-7R55Sxzsr8NxVkP8/s1600/ReD-Sky+Shelve.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzwwiEWFbc57RakWkTCUa8l37HDo2VrZR4o-BQKstC6HCo2ZOW2NmESzTbJ4zxObU139Q8mIuOkNDolTNT_S37WZr2B8yFk-Q02ab9dZ1AUGglRZpsfjr3iA8ZVLR-7R55Sxzsr8NxVkP8/s400/ReD-Sky+Shelve.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497031429917729858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/SkyShelf/ReD-Skyshelve-images01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 374px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/SkyShelf/ReD-Skyshelve-images01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The SkyShelf is a structure for a House, in a 6m double-height space.

Within the towers display, distance, light/shadows and prevailing winds were the factors that organized them and anchored them in the squared shape site.<br />The commercial area was situated on the ground floor, underneath a surface topography. Above it, this clothing surface behaved as a natural forest landscape, where the towers engaged as organic vertical organisms.<br />Since the view towards the towers was a priority, all apartments we’re on one side, pulling vertical accesses like elevators and stairs towards the back.<br />Expelled to the exterior, the elevator offers a panoramic view to the dwellers while acceding to their apartment. Formally, these elevators behave also has a back spine, from which were applied several vein or leafs pattern, bifurcating and creating variable balconies in the body of the tower, attributing it a sense of variation while the dwellings floor-plan remains the same.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">SITE & PETRONAS TOWERS</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52-images01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 463px; height: 248px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52-images01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DIAGRAMS:generation</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52-images02-600pxcopy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 162px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52-images02-600pxcopy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3DIMENSIONAL SKIN: balconies generation</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD51-images01-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 333px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD51-images01-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />- -<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD51-images022.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 456px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD51-images022.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />- -<br /><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><a href="http://jnpalbuquerque.blogspot.com/2010/07/parcel-hd5.html">PARCEL H+D5 (2)</a></h3><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images06.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 470px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images06.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The second proposal was sustained through a modular principle, where two dwellings (duplex) formed one Unit, containing a common interstitial corridor in-between them. Once the module defined, its array, through established parameters, would work as a form-finding process, where the form would be the outcome of a functioning building meshwork.<br />The dwellings Display Rule sets the larger group (8 Units = 16 dwellings) to be closer to the ground, in order to have larger open spaces at the same level - the ring building and its inner space becomes permeable; at the middle (variable) level, the grouping is more fragmented (becoming groups of 3 units), and at the top level it becomes a continuous solid ring.<br />Within this system of rotation and translation of the units, six of them are defined as static, for vertical accesses (elevators and stairs.<br />The outcome result emerges from orienting/arraying the pre-defined units through a ruling system, organizing the dwellings display and circulation, while creating several formal nuances and relationships.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PLAN: units display at different levels</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 168px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">DIAGRAMMATIC ORGANIZATIONAL ELEVATION: flattened</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 205px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">UNITS; CIRCULATION; DISPLAY</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 324px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />- -<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images08.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 217px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images08.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 391px;" src="http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y354/jnpalbuquerque/WORK/MAD/HD5/MAD-HD52prpoposal-images04.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rhinoceros; Rhinoscript</span>Joao Albuquerquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18343029975436661256noreply@blogger.com
