Dossier Snøhetta. nine Projects, three Continents
Since winning the competition for the construction of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in 1989, and up to the recent inauguration of their new design for Times Square in 2017, the Norwegian studio Snøhetta – led by Craig Dykers and Kjetil Traedal Thorsen – has developed numerous architecture, landscaping, and interior design projects. The heterogeneity of their style is the result of a creative process that takes place at their offices in Oslo and New York; a pro- cess of search for the ‘necessary answer’ to each scheme they work on, without resorting to formulas, focusing on the physical experience and comfort of users, the adaptation to the site, and the respect for the environment.
The Ross Pavilion. Competition in Edinburgh
The design competition proposed an interven- tion in the heart of the emblematic West Princes Street Gardens – in the valley stretching below Edinburgh Castle and between the Old and the New Town – to replace the Bandstand with a new Pavilion, design a visitors’ center, and enhance, subtly rejuvenating, the surrounding landscape. The new Pavilion should be an image associated to the city; a combination of tradition, art, culture, and heritage with a contemporary identity and international perspec- tives. In July 2017, the organic and inclusive landscape proposal of the US-based studio wHY was chosen as the winner among the 7 finalists of the second phase.
Eight Wire Meshes
The suggestive image of a basilica vanishing amidst evocative transparencies or of a flagship store dissipating in the sky is only possible through the material that we constructively describe in this chapter. The metallic mesh shows its poetic potential in the two previous examples, but also becomes a veil that diffuses the geometric volumes of an art gallery or of a traditional music center in Bahrain; an envelope that integrates a theater or an electrical substation in two European urban tissues; the facade of two pavilions gently immersed in their surroundings and the diffuse boundary between the interior and exterior of a house-studio.
Kengo Kuma in Dundee. V&A Museum of Design
The Victoria & Albert Museum of Design is the first British building by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, and the only museum dedicated exclusively to design in Scotland. On the banks of the Tay River, with a budget of 80 million pounds, it will host important exhibitions, honor the long tradition of Scottish design, promote contemporary talent, and foster innovation. The result is an iconic building, as well as a constructive and technological challenge, as can be seen in the curved concrete walls with almost impossible inclinations, and the manufacture and installation of horizontal stone pieces, which have required to be produced by 3D modelling.
100 Works by 87 Authors
The industrial revolution of the late 18th century made possible the mass production of consumer goods, and 3D printing pursues the opposite: individualized manufacturing. The Espacio Fundación Telefónica offers in its new exhibition a broad vision of this digital phenomenon that turns consumers into producers, and which challenges the current production model by virtue of cost reduction, flexibility of prototyping, and customization. The exhibition has been curated by the Spanish architects and designers Carmen Baselga and Héctor Serrano, and it includes about 100 works by 87 authors related to fields as diverse as medicine, fashion, gastronomy, and architecture.
Albert Renger-Patzsch ‘New Objectivity’
The German photographer was one of the highest representatives of the artistic movement called ‘New Objectivity’ that emerged in the early 1920s in Germany. With a style of extreme simplicity and originality, his extensive trajectory begins with images of fragments of nature that culminate with the publication of the book The World is Beautiful in 1928. It continues with its sober captures of urban and industrial environments in the Ruhr (including infrastructures, architecture, machinery, and objects); and it ends with his studies of trees and rocks. His work is characterized by a rigorous technical and formal approach, realism, neutrality, and an objectivity without pictorial stylizations.
