We are in the west of the country, near the city of Leiria that is distinguished by loggers and mythical forests (created by King D. Dinis in order to protect the city from sand storms from the winds off the Atlantic ocean) this was the turning point of the project which allowed us to take advantage of traditional formwork pine boards used in the concrete in sight walls at core walls of the house.</p> <div id="attachment_43304" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/xieira-house-ii-by-a2-arquitectos-photography-of-fgsg/marco-guarda-leiria-house_04/" rel="attachment wp-att-43304"><img class=" wp-image-43304" title="Marco Guarda-Leiria House_04" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Marco-Guarda-Leiria-House_04-600x400.jpg" alt="Marco Guarda Leiria House 04 600x400 Xieira House II by A2+ Arquitectos | Photography of FG+SG" width="600" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Xieira House II, image courtesy FG+SG</p></div> <p>The simplicity of the project s expressed by twisting volumes, clearly creating a courtyard entry that indicates slightly pedestrian access to the main entrance of the house.

Thus were linked elements such as rough wood formwork of the in sight concrete and the creation of curvilinear and modern shapes, between the black color in the concrete and the traditional white plaster, between facades of black shale and Portuguese sidewalk, between the massive scale volumes and thin sun protect flaps or the long glazed windows.</p> <div id="attachment_43317"

For the object to be fully successful we needed to go beyond the standard achievement of objective, functional, formal or plastic aspects. We needed an identity of immaterial civic dimension, fulfilling a role of social intervention.</p> <p>It became therefore necessary to create non-anonymous objects, admittedly present in the urban context, characterized by a positive identity, calling for a plural and democratic use.</p> <div id="attachment_43291" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/and-re-wins-iberian-urban-equipment-design-prize/pac-man-diagramas-e-desenhos-cdr/" rel="attachment wp-att-43291"><img class="size-large wp-image-43291" title="PAC-MAN - DIAGRAMAS E DESENHOS.cdr" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/PACMAN-AND-RE-DRAWINGS-AND-DIAGRAMS-600x456.jpg" alt="PACMAN AND RE DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS 600x456 AND RÉ Wins Iberian Urban Equipment Design Prize" width="600" height="456" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Drawing courtesy AND-RÉ</p></div> <p>The attitude is educational, directing the user&#8217;s mindset, touching him in the sense of ecological esponsibility. This was achieved through a characteristic seductive language, through the use of color and form. The objective was fully achieved and proven by the massive use of the object. The negative common perception of garbage bins was forgotten by the change of the status of the object itself. We observed children asking parents to put the garbage in the right place or funny scenes with families and tourists taking pictures next to bins, like an attraction. The objects are now characteristic elements, part of an urban identity conscience.</p> <div id="attachment_43288" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/and-re-wins-iberian-urban-equipment-design-prize/pacman-and-re-05/" rel="attachment wp-att-43288"><img class="size-large wp-image-43288" title="PACMAN - AND-RE 05" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/PACMAN-AND-RE-05-600x400.jpg" alt="PACMAN AND RE 05 600x400 AND RÉ Wins Iberian Urban Equipment Design Prize" width="600" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image courtesy AND-RÉ</p></div> <p>It was possible to achieve an approach that considers design as an essential mean of interaction before the contemporary context of urban anonymity. The result are objects that cause reactions, emotions and sensations, provocative pieces that explore the limits of sensory use, as an escape from monotony.</p> <div id="attachment_43289" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/and-re-wins-iberian-urban-equipment-design-prize/pacman-and-re-06/" rel="attachment wp-att-43289"><img class=" wp-image-43289" title="PACMAN - AND-RE 06" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/PACMAN-AND-RE-06-600x225.jpg" alt="PACMAN AND RE 06 600x225 AND RÉ Wins Iberian Urban Equipment Design Prize" width="600" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image courtesy AND-RÉ</p></div> <p>The developed line of objects, assumes an external similar identity, differentiated by the color &#8211; distinguishing the type of waste &#8211; and by the mechanism inside. The various types of the internal mechanism, made of high resistance stainless steel, meet the objective of avoiding actual contact with dirty surfaces and limit the visual and olfactory contact with the waste. The systems for organic waste and metal use a container (a drum with rotary counterweight axis) associated with the movement of the lid. Glass and paper systems use a fixed conduit, regardless of movement of the lid. It was predicted, in addition to the manual opening of the access cover waste disposal, a pedal that free the hands and avoids contact with the object.</p> <div id="attachment_43290" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/and-re-wins-iberian-urban-equipment-design-prize/pacman-and-re-drawings-and-diagrams2/" rel="attachment wp-att-43290"><img class=" wp-image-43290" title="PACMAN - AND-RE DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS2" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/PACMAN-AND-RE-DRAWINGS-AND-DIAGRAMS2-600x221.jpg" alt="PACMAN AND RE DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS2 600x221 AND RÉ Wins Iberian Urban Equipment Design Prize" width="600" height="221" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Drawing courtesy AND-RÉ</p></div> <p>The outer material is made of composite fiber, giving the object ideal resistance for harsh conditions, also providing an excellent response to acid waste liquids. The design is an innovative response to the ecological waste separation problematic, not only by the mechanical, functional and plastic aspects, but by the provoked mental perception and reinterpretation, resulting in mindset chance of users directly translated in social awareness.</p> <h6>+ METAPHORICAL CONCEPTUAL APPROACH:</h6> <blockquote><p>He woke up in a bland day, apparently just the same as others, with the morning sun slowly following the awakening. He came to the street, still slightly disoriented, and there was something different. He felt peculiar presences around Him, but strangely He did not felt threatened.</p> <p>Already awake, he realized that they had invaded the city. Perfectly round white skin creatures, distinguished from each other by the color of their mouths, were multiplying, rolling down the hills, scattered in groups and joining at strategic points. Then, they opened their blue, yellow, green and black mouths, and began eating all the garbage, in a careful manner, with amazing criteria.</p> <p>Now he was certain that these little funny soldiers had come in peace. He knew that they wouldn&#8217;t attack and that they came with the purpose to protect him and his habitat.

Crystal clear. Safe.</strong><br /> <strong> Copenhagen’s new architectural highlight ‘The</strong> <strong>Crystal’ creates intricate light effects with SCHOLLGLAS products</strong></p> <p>In Copenhagen, while industrial and logistics companies are increasingly relocating to suburban areas of the city as a result of economic change, the attractive city-centre areas around the harbour are becoming service sector hubs. The Danish Nykredit Bank moved also with its headquarter to the habor district and expanded it additionally by one building this year. The eye-catching sculptural design is also from the Danish architectural office Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects as well as the main building.</p> <div id="attachment_43278" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/schollglas-the-crystal-by-schmidt-hammer-lassen-architects/schmidt-hammer-lassen_adam-mork-1/" rel="attachment wp-att-43278"><img class=" wp-image-43278" title="Schmidt Hammer Lassen_Adam Mork 1" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Schmidt-Hammer-Lassen_Adam-Mork-1-600x273.jpg" alt="Schmidt Hammer Lassen Adam Mork 1 600x273 SCHOLLGLAS: The Crystal by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects" width="600" height="273" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image © SCHOLLGLAS | Photographer: Adam Mørk</p></div> <p>Prominently located with a view over the harbour, the structure, emblematically named ‘The Crystal’, nestles between historical brick buildings and modern glazed architecture. Harmonising with the neighbouring buildings in terms of height and volume, the dynamic appearance of the structure, dictated by its glazed façades, is a real eye catcher. Depending on the incidence of light, the façade elements produce a reflective or transparent effect. The building envelope itself rises in a dramatic tilt above a hexagonal, gemstone-shaped floor plan. In contact with the ground at only a single point and a single line at its base, the structure culminates in an elevated apex stretching out towards the city. Below is the generous main entrance, where an impressive staircase leads visitors and employees into the bright, light-flooded interior. Two triangular atria rise up through all six levels and deliver natural light to all the workstations. By superpositioning the hexagonal floor plans over the two triangular atria, each individual floor is given a z-shaped layout, with the various areas interconnected by bridges, staircases and glazed lifts. As a whole, the architecture reflects the bank&#8217;s claim of operating transparently and flexibly, with the entire building characterised by a bright, transparent and inspiring atmos-phere.</p> <div id="attachment_43280" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/schollglas-the-crystal-by-schmidt-hammer-lassen-architects/schmidt-hammer-lassen_adam-mork-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-43280"><img class="size-large wp-image-43280" title="Schmidt Hammer Lassen_Adam Mork 3" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Schmidt-Hammer-Lassen_Adam-Mork-3-600x461.jpg" alt="Schmidt Hammer Lassen Adam Mork 3 600x461 SCHOLLGLAS: The Crystal by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects" width="600" height="461" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image © SCHOLLGLAS | Photographer: Adam Mørk</p></div> <p>In order to create an open interior free of supports that could be used flexibly, the building&#8217;s complex supporting structure is located internally, directly behind the façade.</p> <p>A welded-steel diagrid system distributes the load and gives the building its rigidity. On the outside of the steel grid, the envelope is formed by a mullion-transom construction with a double-skin glass façade. The façade incorporates triple-layer GEWE-therm® multi-function glass from SCHOLLGLAS, which provides effective thermal insulation and yet is neutral in transparency and appearance. These panes also feature TGI edge-bonding, a so-called &#8216;warm edge&#8217;. This edge-bonding system optimises the thermal transfer from frame to glass, thereby reducing energy consumption.</p> <div id="attachment_43281" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/schollglas-the-crystal-by-schmidt-hammer-lassen-architects/schmidt-hammer-lassen_adam-mork-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-43281"><img class=" wp-image-43281" title="Schmidt Hammer Lassen_Adam Mork 4" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Schmidt-Hammer-Lassen_Adam-Mork-4-600x378.jpg" alt="Schmidt Hammer Lassen Adam Mork 4 600x378 SCHOLLGLAS: The Crystal by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects" width="600" height="378" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image © SCHOLLGLAS | Photographer: Adam Mørk</p></div> <p>Particularly in office buildings that incorporate a high percentage of glass, the hazards of solar heating also require consideration. For this reason, GEWE-therm® sun featuring the highly-selective coating Planistar 70/40 was used for &#8216;The Crystal&#8217;. This glass delivers just the right amount of daylight into the interior for optimal vision, while simultaneously deflecting the longwave infrared radiation that is responsible for excessive interior heating. Adapted for the respective installation situation, the GEWE-therm® triple-pane insulating glass optimally fulfils a variety of requirements. For example, the glass was used as safety glass on the ground floor for balustrades and ceiling areas, and as stepped insulating glass for the frameless corner glazing on vertical corners.</p> <div id="attachment_43279" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/schollglas-the-crystal-by-schmidt-hammer-lassen-architects/schmidt-hammer-lassen_adam-mork-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-43279"><img class="size-large wp-image-43279" title="Schmidt Hammer Lassen_Adam Mork 2" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Schmidt-Hammer-Lassen_Adam-Mork-2-600x813.jpg" alt="Schmidt Hammer Lassen Adam Mork 2 600x813 SCHOLLGLAS: The Crystal by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects" width="600" height="813" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image © SCHOLLGLAS | Photographer: Adam Mørk</p></div> <p>The building&#8217;s second façade skin comprises a GEWE-safe® laminated safety glass curtain wall made of highly durable GEWE-dur® single-pane safety glass in an aluminium frame. Some of the approximately 2000 panes are printed on the outside with a so-called &#8216;side one&#8217; weather-proof ink, which was applied using ceramic silk-screen printing. 36 different dot matrix combinations developed from the architects&#8217; façade design produce various degrees of transparency on the façade. Depending on the angle of incidence, the light is either reflected or shines through, thus lending the building a multifaceted, crystal-type appearance.</p> <p>Although only recently opened, this new architectural high-light in Copenhagen harbour has already been distinguished with the European Steel Award.</p> <h6>+ Project facts</h6> <p><strong>Project</strong>:<strong> The Crystal</strong>, Head Quarter, Nykredit, Kopenhagen/DK<br /> <strong>Client</strong>: Nykredit, Kopenhagen/DK<br /> <strong>Architects</strong>: <a href="http://plusmood.com/tag/schmidt-hammer-lassen-architects/">Schmidt Hammer Lassen</a>, Kopenhagen/DK<br /> <strong>Contractor</strong>: HS Hansen-Metallbau<br /> <strong>Glass</strong>:<br /> GEWE-safe® made out of GEWE-dur®:<br /> Schollglas Technik Sachsen GmbH, Nossen, OT Heynitz/D<br /> GEWE-therm® triple glazing:<br /> Schollglas Technik GmbH, Isernhagen/DE<br /> <strong>Photos</strong>: © SCHOLLGLAS, Photographer: Adam Mørk</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=GnI8x2ZZ0xA:AAb_UdVvbpU:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/plusmood/~4/GnI8x2ZZ0xA" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://plusmood.com/2012/05/schollglas-the-crystal-by-schmidt-hammer-lassen-architects/ David K. http://plusmood.com http://plusmood.com/?p=43254 2012-05-19T04:33:57Z 2012-05-19T04:33:57Z

The design concept for the new platform roofs provides a sense of light and space. Large roof lights, which together with the structural spans, add to a positive experience of the transfer platforms and surroundings. The elevated footbridge is fully integrated in the design, connecting the different platforms with each other and with the North entrance of the train station. The electrified system has also been integrated into the roof structure, giving a uniform appearance across all platforms.</p> <div id="attachment_43245" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/arnhem-central-platforms-unstudio/moka-studio_unstudio-arnhem-ext/" rel="attachment wp-att-43245"><img class="size-large wp-image-43245" title="moka-studio_UNSTUDIO Arnhem Ext" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/moka-studio_UNSTUDIO-Arnhem-Ext-600x336.jpg" alt="moka studio UNSTUDIO Arnhem Ext 600x336 Arnhem Central Platforms \ UNStudio" width="600" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Arnhem Central Platforms, image courtesy UNStudio | render by moka-studio</p></div> <div id="attachment_43246" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/arnhem-central-platforms-unstudio/moka-studio_unstudio-arnhem-int/" rel="attachment wp-att-43246"><img class="size-large wp-image-43246" title="moka-studio_UNSTUDIO Arnhem Int" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/moka-studio_UNSTUDIO-Arnhem-Int-600x336.jpg" alt="moka studio UNSTUDIO Arnhem Int 600x336 Arnhem Central Platforms \ UNStudio" width="600" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Arnhem Central Platforms, image courtesy UNStudio | render by moka-studio</p></div> <p>The platform tunnel opened to the public in July last year, whilst construction of the transfer terminal will happen in two phases and is due to open for passengers in 2014.

From the three main entrances visitor flows are guided to two interior atria.</p> <p>The concept of synergy of flows is key to all of the design components; the fluid articulation of the building envelope, the programming of the dynamic façade lighting and its content design, the pattern and space articulation of the public landscape surrounding the building and the interior pattern language which guides customers from the central atria to the upper levels and throughout the building via linking corridors.</p> <div id="attachment_43236" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/hanjie-wanda-square-in-wuhan-unstudio/unstudio_wuhan_in_shoppimg-street/" rel="attachment wp-att-43236"><img class=" wp-image-43236" title="UNStudio_WUHAN_IN_Shoppimg street" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/UNStudio_WUHAN_IN_Shoppimg-street-600x390.jpg" alt="UNStudio WUHAN IN Shoppimg street 600x390 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="600" height="390" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan, render courtesy UNStudio</p></div> <div id="attachment_43237" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/hanjie-wanda-square-in-wuhan-unstudio/unstudio_wuhan_in_shopping-street-02/" rel="attachment wp-att-43237"><img class=" wp-image-43237" title="UNStudio_WUHAN_IN_Shopping street 02" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/UNStudio_WUHAN_IN_Shopping-street-02-600x450.jpg" alt="UNStudio WUHAN IN Shopping street 02 600x450 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="600" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan, render courtesy UNStudio</p></div> <p><strong>Interior concept</strong></p> <p>The interior concept is developed around the North and South atria, creating two different, yet integrated atmospheres. The atria become the centre of the dynamic duality of the two Hanjie Wanda Square identities: Contemporary and Traditional. Variations in geometry, materials and details define these differing characters. With two main entrances, the North atrium is recognised as a main venue hall, and the South atrium as a more intimate venue hall. The North atrium is characterized by warm golden and bronze materials reflecting a cultural, traditional identity. In the South atrium Silver and grey nuances with reflective textures reflect the city identity and its urban rhythm. Both atria are crowned by skylights with a funnel structure which connect the roof and the ground floor, in addition to integrating the panorama lifts. While the atria have strong and distinct identities, the corridors act as connectors between the two yet maintain their own character.</p> <div id="attachment_43241" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/hanjie-wanda-square-in-wuhan-unstudio/unstudio_wuhan_ex0_section_elevation/" rel="attachment wp-att-43241"><img class="size-large wp-image-43241" title="UNStudio_WUHAN_EX0_section_elevation" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/UNStudio_WUHAN_EX0_section_elevation-600x380.jpg" alt="UNStudio WUHAN EX0 section elevation 600x380 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="600" height="380" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan - Section + Facade idea, drawing courtesy UNStudio</p></div> <p><strong>Façade design</strong></p> <p>The façade design focuses on achieving a dynamic effect reflecting the handcrafted combination of two materials: polished stainless steel and Alabaster. These two materials are crafted into nine differently shaped, but standardized spheres. Their specific positions in relation to each other recreate the effect of movement and reflection in water, or the sensuous folds of silk fabric.</p> <p>The geometry ranges from full stainless steel spheres to a sequence of differently trimmed spheres with Alabaster inlay. The spheres have a diameter of 600 or 500mm and are mounted at various distances on 900 x 900mm brushed aluminium panels, which can be preassembled and mounted on site.</p> <div id="attachment_43240" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/hanjie-wanda-square-in-wuhan-unstudio/unstudio_wuhan_ex_facade-lighting/" rel="attachment wp-att-43240"><img class="size-large wp-image-43240" title="UNStudio_WUHAN_EX_facade lighting" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/UNStudio_WUHAN_EX_facade-lighting-600x359.jpg" alt="UNStudio WUHAN EX facade lighting 600x359 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="600" height="359" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan - Lighting idea, drawing courtesy UNStudio</p></div> <p>The architectural lighting is integrated into the building envelope’s 42.995 modules. Within each sphere either one or two LED-fixtures emit light onto the alabaster to generate glowing circular spots whilst simultaneously creating diffuse illumination on the back panel. Various possibilities to combine and control these lights will allow diverse media lighting effects and programming of lighting sequences related to the use and activation of the Hanjie Wanda Square.</p> <div id="attachment_43238" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2012/05/hanjie-wanda-square-in-wuhan-unstudio/unstudio_wuhan_ex_dsc02585/" rel="attachment wp-att-43238"><img class="size-large wp-image-43238" title="UNStudio_WUHAN_EX_DSC02585" src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/UNStudio_WUHAN_EX_DSC02585-600x399.jpg" alt="UNStudio WUHAN EX DSC02585 600x399 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="600" height="399" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan, image courtesy UNStudio</p></div> <h6>+ Project facts</h6> <p><strong>Hanjie Wanda Square<br /> Wuhan, <a title="China" href="http://plusmood.com/tag/China-architecture">China</a>, 2011</strong></p> <p><strong>Client</strong>: Wuhan Wanda East Lake Real State Co., Ltd<br /> <strong>Building surface</strong>:<br /> <strong>Facade</strong> 29.920 sqm<br /> <strong>Interior</strong>: 22.630 sqm<br /> <strong>Programme</strong>: Luxury shopping mall<br /> <strong>Contribution</strong> <strong>UNStudio</strong>: Facade and interior design<br /> <strong>Status</strong>: Under construction</p> <p><strong>Credits UNStudioCompetition</strong>:<br /> <a title="UNStudio" href="http://plusmood.com/tag/unstudio">Ben van Berkel</a>, Caroline Bos, Astrid Piber withLuis Etchegorry, Ger Gijzen and Ariane Stracke, Cynthia Markhoff, Veronica Baraldi, Mo Ching Ying Lai, Iris Pastor, Elisabeth Brauner, Jinming Feng, Tomas Mokry, Florian Licht, Patrick Noome, Ali Ashgar</p> <p><strong>Schematic Design / Design Development</strong>:<br /> <a href="http://plusmood.com/tag/unstudio">Ben van Berkel</a>, Caroline Bos, Astrid Piber, with Ger Gijzen and Ariane Stracke, Veronica Baraldi, Mo Ching, Ying Lai, Konstantinos Chrysos, Rodrigo Cañizares, Chiara Marchionni, Thomas van Bekhoven, Albert Gnodde , Ka Shin Liu, Machiel Wafelbakker, Patrick Noome, Jinming Feng, Cheng Gong, Shuang Zhang, Xinyue Guo</p> <p><strong>Advisors</strong>:<br /> Structure, facade: Arup<br /> Landscape design: Loos van Vliet</p> <h6>+ Recommended <strong><a href="http://plusmood.com/tag/shopping-complex/">shopping center</a></strong> projects featured on <strong>+MOOD</strong></h6> <div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 179px"><a href="http://plusmood.com/2010/03/pangyo-global-rd-center-drds/"><img title="Pangyo Global R+D Center | DRDS " src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Pangyo-R+D-DRDS-plusMOOD-2-160x160.jpg" alt="Pangyo R+D DRDS plusMOOD 2 160x160 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="169" height="169" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pangyo Global R+D Center | DRDS</p></div> <div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 370px"><strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://plusmood.com/2011/03/mall-of-istanbul-chapman-taylor/"><img title="Mall of Istanbul | Chapman Taylor " src="http://plusmood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Mall-of-Istanbul_Chapman-Taylor-01-600x404.jpg" alt="Mall of Istanbul Chapman Taylor 01 600x404 Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan \ UNStudio" width="360" height="241" /></a></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Mall of Istanbul | Chapman Taylor</p></div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=kquTJZKlTU0:FIAsd-W7_QM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/plusmood/~4/kquTJZKlTU0" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://plusmood.com/2012/05/hanjie-wanda-square-in-wuhan-unstudio/ David K. http://plusmood.com http://plusmood.com/?p=43227 2012-05-17T15:16:24Z 2012-05-17T15:11:18Z

The picture which runs 1m 15s, visually explores Elements in the context of the Columbia River Gorge, an 80 mile canyon that separates Oregon from Washington continuously to the Pacific Ocean.</p> <blockquote><p>The film series was born from our desire to communicate our design aesthetic in a much more experiential manner. Too often architecture is relegated to static images, even though the inherent art of architecture is three-dimensional and fluid. In film, one can hear and move from one space to the other, which is much more like living and breathing in a space.</p> <p><strong>William Kaven</strong> Managing Director and filmmaker, <strong>Daniel Kaven</strong></p></blockquote> <p><strong>Elements</strong> is situated on a complex site in Mosier, Oregon with panoramic views of the Columbia River Gorge and the Coyote Syncline. The home is comprised of an expansive open living space on the upper level that is separated from the harsh elements and the steep hillside only by a wall of glass continuous across the view to the gorge below. A dramatic terrace cantilevers extensively towards the river west and provides covered exterior living. The lower plinth of the structure, from which numerous rectangular forms cantilever from above, house the primary sleeping quarters and steps down onto the ground, connecting with the surrounding high desert landscape. Elements is slated for completion in the Summer of 2012.</p> <p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/41256441?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ff0179" frameborder="0" width="600" height="338"></iframe></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?a=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/plusmood?i=KuYlFw0YVNE:d5jMuydaMz4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/plusmood/~4/KuYlFw0YVNE" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://plusmood.com/2012/05/video-elements-by-william-kaven-architecture/ David K. http://plusmood.com http://plusmood.com/?p=43206 2012-05-17T14:39:44Z 2012-05-17T14:39:44Z
