EXHIBITIONShelter: Rethinking How We Live in Los Angeles, Architecture + Design Museum, Los Angeles, US, August-November 2015

The Architecture + Design Museum of Los Angeles presents Shelter: Rethinking how we live in Los Angeles, visions by six architects for the future of the city. Seeking to change expectations for living within the expanding metropolis, the exhibition explores how new forms of housing can respond to changes in the cultural fabric and physical landscape of Los Angeles, better addressing its pressing issues.

For the exhibition, PAR proposed Wilshire Tower, a new model of high-rise courtyard housing, integrated with mass transit, on LACMA’s proposed tower site along

Wilshire Boulevard. The tower typology, an important element in the contemporary metropolis, has become anonymous, defined mainly by its height. Typical residential towers, while successfully providing density, rarely produce unique living environments with access to green space, two qualities that are emblematic of Los Angeles living. PAR’s proposal, developed in close collaboration with BuroHappold, acts against this endemic monotony, creating a 930 foot tall stack of individual houses, each with a direct connection to nature through oversized terraces, some containing common spaces and leisure zones.

INFINITYLA FORUM


37CULTURAL

The Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design invited PAR to design a temporary structure, Infinity, for their annual ForumFest benefit held at the Sixth Street Viaduct in Fall 2015.

Embracing the brutality of the site with an extraordinarily light structure, the design revealed a subtle play on light and perception, its reflective forms changing

according to the light and movement of people around it. The floating aluminum structure, suspended by a series of delicate steel cables, provided an undulating field for activity where people could celebrate within the viaduct. Elements of the structure varied in height, creating lighting canopies and table surfaces, where the ForumFest events program could be presented.

BAUHAUS MUSEUMDESSAU


45CULTURAL

This pavilion for the Bauhaus Museum Dessau is both an exhibition space for the museum’s art collection, and an education facility. The museum is centrally located in the social green between the Dessau Cultural District and the Bauhaus and will be a focus of activity. Our proposal integrates with the existing East-West pedestrian axis, generating a binary museum organization of permanent and temporary collections. Interstitial perimeter zones create a buffer between institution and city while enabling impromptu events and large scale installations a visibility beyond the walls of the museum.

Conceived as a compact, single story volume penetrated by courtyards with sight lines through layers of transparent walls, the visitor experience will always involve the surrounding landscape. Green spaces are captured within the perimeter of the building. The openness of patios and visitor zone serve to connect the institution within the park and city, providing a possibility for non ticketed visitors to move through the visitor zone, accessing the

cafe, patio and shop. Transparency offers views to the park and surrounding areas along with views through the building. From outside, visitors can see through the museum and also to many internal spaces, understanding events and atmospheres of the moment.

Individually, each zone is enclosed by clear glass or solid partitions, resulting in cavity walls that act as a buffer between different climates; visitor center, museum exhibition spaces, education center, and the outdoors. The plan is derived from a grid of various rectilinear shapes reflecting programmatic adjacencies, with room-to-room connections achieved using curving surfaces. The visitor flows with the form through a series of interconnected spaces.

Zonas interiores / Internal zonesLos patios de luz y las curvas de nivel organizan el paisaje en zonas de actividad. En estaszonas no hay particiones, de modo que los distintos ambientes se funden entre sí esta-bleciendo una relación entre los espacios y los visitantes.

Lightwells and contours organize the open landscape into zones of activity. These zones are notphysically partitioned so that atmospheres can blend into one another creating a relationship bet-ween the spaces and people inside.

Vistas / ViewsLa ondulación de la cubierta y los patios de luz proporcionan vistas del lago y el paisajedel entorno. Desde el interior, los visitantes pueden vislumbrar los ambientes y los acon-tecimientos que se desarrollan fuera del Centro Comunitario.

The undulating slab and large lightwells offer views to the Lake and surrounding areas. Frombelow, visitors can see many spaces through the Learning Center to understand the events andatmospheres of the moment.

Estructura / Structural designÉste es un edificio de un único nivel con una estructura de acero que se extiende sobre un solar rectangular de 195m x141m. Sin embargo, el forjado de hormigón que soporta la estructura de acero se separa del suelo para ascender suave-mente. La axonometría de la izquierda muestra la construcción del paisaje, desde el forjado inferior a la estructura deacero.La subestructura es un armazón de hormigón de superficie ondulada, con un espesor de 600mm y una luz máxima deunos 80m. La geometría del armazón se deriva de un método de análisis de elementos finitos (FEM) que da como resul-tado una superficie ondulada con escasa transmisión de las cargas. Se utiliza una losa hueca para reducir el peso estruc-tural en todas partes excepto en los extremos, en donde se concentran las mayores fuerzas axiales.Sobre el zócalo, unos delgados pilares de acero dispuestos en una retícula de 9x9m soportan la viga de acero.El nivel bajo el terreno utiliza un sistema estructural básico que consiste en una losa plana de hormigón. Unas columnasmurales resisten a las fuerzas verticales en los puntos de apoyo del armazón, y unos pilares dispuestos en una retículade 17mx10m soportan el forjado de 600mm de espesor. El forjado de la planta baja funciona como tirante, resistiendo elempuje horizontal causado por el armazón estructural.

This is a simple single story building with a steel structure expanding over a 195m x 141m rectangular site. However, the flat RCslab supporting the steel structure leaves the ground and gently ascends. The overview (left) shows the construction of the lan ds-cape, from RC mat slab to steel frame.The substructure is free-curved-surface RC shell. Its thickness is 600mm and the largest span is about 80m. The geometry of theshell derives from a method of finite element analysis so as to be a free curved surfaced shell with little load transmission by ben-ding movement. It uses a hollow slab to reduce the structural self-weight at every part except the feet of the shell, where large axialforces concentrate.Above the plinth slender steel columns arranged on a 9x9m-grid support the steel beam.The basic system for the underground floor is an RC flat slab structure. Wall columns resist vertical forces at points where the shelllands and columns on a 17mx10m grid support a 600mm-thick RC slab. The plane of the ground floor's slab functions as a tie aswell resisting the horizontal thrust a shell structure particularly causes.

Acceso principal / Main entryLos visitantes acceden por la entrada principal situada en el centro del CentroComunitario. Este es el corazón del edificio, el lugar donde encontrarse con los amigos,recibir información general, y obtener una perspectiva general del paisaje interior.

Visitors arrive to the main entry located in the middle of the Learning Center. This is the heart ofthe building where one would meet friends, receive general information, and get an overall pers-pective of the landscape inside.

Main Entry

Entry points connect to the existing pedestrian paths. Visitors arrive to the main entry located on axis with pedestrian plaza. They move freely through the visitor center, the heart of the building where one would meet friends, receive general information, and get an overall perspective. A second, parkside entry enables flexible access.

Internal Zones

Contours organize the open landscape into zones of activity and exhibition. Many zones are glass partitioned so that atmospheres can blend into one another, creating relationships between the spaces and people inside. Exhibition zones are partitioned with solids to control security and daylight.

Views

The transparent visitor zone offers views to the park and surrounding areas along with views through the building. From outside, visitors can see through the Bauhaus Museum and also many internal spaces to understand the events and atmospheres of the moment.

IBID. GALLERYLOS ANGELES


55CULTURAL

For IBID. Gallery in Los Angeles, PAR developed a plan for the international gallery to expand into the historic urban fabric of the Los Angeles Arts District, a low rise area in the eastern part of the city. Industrial buildings and lofts characterize this neighborhood, which is currently being infiltrated by newly constructed galleries, boutiques and cafés. The project involved transforming an abandoned garage warehouse and large courtyard into a 12,000 sf exhibition and event outpost.

Working closely with our client, Magnus Edensvard, we were able to preserve the

original aura of the structure while at the same time, create a new spatial quality for the gallery. The design includes a reception, two large galleries, private lounge, office, archival space, and service area. Conceived as an open and flexible space, the exhibition area shows works of varied scale and video installations. The exterior includes an event courtyard, outdoor workspace and an outdoor lounge. Mobile furniture elements designed to transition and connect the interior galleries and courtyard expand activities outdoors. The gallery opened with a painting exhibition by Christian Rosa.

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM HELSINkI


61CULTURAL

The Guggenheim Museum Helsinki, located on a prominent waterfront site, is a gathering of eight soft volumes of varying sizes and undulating heights that reflect the Helsinki skyline and surrounding waters. The volumes lightly intersect with one another leading to a collection of spaces with soft connections to all sides. The resulting institution is a unique, transparent, and light building, clustered in between the park, water and historic city center and immediately visible to visitors arriving by sea. All city traffic is directed along the Laivasillankatu with the drop off and bus zone concentrated along the North and South edges. The plan’s openness connects with the context while the central plaza maintains public waterfront access from the park.

Breaking up the museum into smaller pieces, we avoid blocking site lines while creating programmatic specificity. Further opening up the site, visually and physically, central volumes are elevated and translucent, introducing a public void in between the galleries. The volumes

sit at angles to one another and overlap at the corners to link lobby, exhibition spaces, amenities and service areas within the museum. Translucent mesh drapes from the edges of the roofs to create curving curtains that spatially define and lighten the building. The curtains conceal elevated walkways, connecting to viewing terraces that look onto the complex and the city at large. Visitors enter through access points into a large plaza in the centre of the complex. A grand circulation loop connects all public spaces with galleries while alternate paths integrate outdoor sculpture gardens into the visitor experience. Positioned at interstitial spaces between inside and out, terraces are protected from the harsh Helsinki climate. Oriented toward sky and vistas, terraces offer unparalleled all-season event spaces.

T House is designed for a family who want something different than a conventional home. The clients are looking to develop a house that would affect their lives and create opportunity for a social yet, private family lifestyle. The family requested for a house which felt like a connected space, and to save the landscape as much as possible, especially its characteristic fig trees.

The site is located in a semi-urban lush district of Washington in a terrain that slopes gently down to the Potomac river in the southwest. The desire for a house with lots of light and connection to the surrounding landscape is a challenge in

relation to close building adjacencies. Our design strategy utilizes the building to frame private views and is characterized by a central void that interconnects living spaces under the sky.

The house consists of a two story volume with a basement. The first level contains the living room, media, kitchen and dining along with a child’s suite. Most private spaces such as master bedroom, study and child’s room are on level two, while the basement functions are divided between playroom, guest suite, utility and garage.

TAICHUNGCULTURAL CENTER


luxigon

79CULTURAL

The new Taichung Cultural Center, TCC, located within the Taichung Gateway District will house two regional agencies the public library and fine arts museum within one single institution. Our proposal arranges the new cultural center around a public space open towards the city of Taichung and Gateway Park. The building is conceived as a single loop of public space and cultural institutions twisting into a continuous organization that combines the virtues of both institutions, maximizing interdisciplinary exchange while preserving the autonomy.

TCC is conceived as a symbiosis of urbanity and nature. Like Taichung, which is located in the heart of the Taiwan mainland, it will be integrated into the heart of the park. The two institutions and their shared public facilities are gathered around an outdoor space framing a fourth program, an urban plaza which opens towards both Park Avenue 2 and Gateway Park. The multiple ramps and stairs of the building create an institution that is publicly accessible and welcoming on the inside as well as the outside. The

urban plaza will attract the everyday life of Taichung flowing through its gateway while framing views of Taiwan Tower. Informal roof seating and stairs will make the TCC a lively place and a natural extension of the life within the park. On special occasions it will turn into an outdoor gallery or urban stage to extend the art into the city as well as the city into the institution.

The main entrance to the new Taichung Cultural Center lies to the northwest adjacent to an auto drop off along Park Avenue 2. Visitors enter through a shared lobby underneath the building’s 6m lift which leads to the public plaza. The south wing of the building tilts into the park landscape for co ntinuous pedestrian access over top of the building from Gateway Park and Taiwan Tower.

This residential commission is situated in a canyon near the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory where there already exists a contemporary architectural context. The project emerged from the idea of making a suspended house that floats over the canyon, thus taking advantage of the Los Angeles skyline and generating many partially covered terraces for outdoor living.

The dwelling is organized into two levels. The public areas, such as the gallery, living room, dining room, and kitchen, are on the lower level; the upper level includes three bedrooms and a semi-public leisure area adjacent to the pool which is naturally screened by topography. The hovering 60’ long building is supported by a podium built of local stone predominate in nearby fortifications.

In contrast to the other buildings in the Töölönlahti District, an essential com-ponent of the design involved creating a public space at the top of the library—vi-sually connecting Töölönlahti to Senate Square and the city at large. The library is organized by six intersecting axes that afford spectacular vistas toward a cel-ebrated landmark.

At the earliest stage of design, environ-mental analysis via simulation tools en-

abled design decisions that optimized the sustainable performance of the building form and envelope. The concave geom-etry optically magnifies light and heat, focusing it into the building and reducing energy demand.

A series of 11.5 m deep floor plates are stacked to create a narrow building that is optimizes natural light thereby creating an ideal reading environment crucial for the library. The program of the library is subject to ever changing ways of access-ing and sharing knowledge in a realm that is becoming more and more and immate-rial. The long span truss system provides a flexible, column free plan suitable to the demands of a 21st Century library and guarantees it’s viability as a building adaptable to future alternatives.

The landscape block is at the same time integrated and outstanding, traditional and contemporary. It creates a stage-like space for the annual gathering of the National Day of Finland, becoming a symbolic center for the city.

An ambitious master plan for Expo 2015 was developed to revitalize an industrial zone outside the city of Milan. In the spirit of this plan, a competition was launched for the design of a pavilion to exhibit the virtues of Italian culture while in a second life, adapting into a research facility. Interpreting the criteria of the brief, maintaining openness at the ground was essential for access and a perception of transparency. The translation of this criteria gave birth to a building that contains a series of spaces stacked one over the other, in some places projecting over the piazza by varying degrees, connected through a loop of continuous circulation.Creating a space of national unity, we have enveloped the building in a continuous surface. Seen from the Palazo Italia, the Cardo and from the Lake Arena, the new building takes on differing aspect from every vantage point and thus This architectural variation is further reinforced by sinuous bands in the façade surfaces. The façade openings react to it’s solar orientation as well has the ideal amount of light for each room’s

content. The façade of the building is largely homogenous, ornamented only through the subtle twist of the pleated metal siding. The building face presents a perceived parabolic shadow, made possible by a louvered system over the central windows of the pavilion.

Keelung is a gateway that through its history, climate and the customs of its inhabitants, is predestined to make use of its exterior space. For this reason, we decided instead of planning the building as an independent object within an open space, we would propose buildings that will generate and structure this open space. The project form, together with the lighting, aims to provide a dramatic entry experience to Taiwan from both the sea and the city of Keelung.

To become a landmark, our proposal adopts a form that resists easy classification to free-associate with successive symbols of the utilitarian, the industrial, the poetic. The Harbor Tower is a clearly identifiable landmark. It’s portal becomes a framing devise for the city while providing passage at the plaza. Given it’s location and placement, the figure of the tower takes a geometrical stand in relation to the mountains and transit network.

Cutting diagionally through the terminal platform, multiple relations between the

concourse and other levels of the building are established, while permitting new angles of vision and a changing play of light. A collection of prisms crown the terminal’s Departure, Domestic and International Halls with luminous vaulted spaces. Derived from the interstitial space between Halls, the Marine Plaza projects inward bringing the outside in. The roof garden and interiors are designed as hybrid spaces, not only blurring the boundaries between exterior and interior, but which also easily adapt to the variable program. Existing public pedestrian flows along the western edge are enhanced by creating an elevated public plaza adjacent to the concourse with independent circulation. Overall, an experience of directed yet functionally separated flows lends an aura of energy to the terminal building.

A global gateway, the tower represents Taiwan’s cultural progress, innovation, and modern commerce.

Set upon a panoramic plateau in the ancient district of Sardinia’s capital city will soon sit the Cagliari Galerie Comunale D’Art’s new extension. Our concept formulates a network of separate but interconnected “clusters” that unfold, open and invite museum visitors inside. Single-height exhibition spaces are anchored by four clusters, each with an adjoining sculpture garden. Gallery volumes and arrangements were inspired by seminal works within the museum’s permanent collection, including ancient bronze and marble statues and works by the late Renaissance painter Pietro Cavaro. The museum extension is designed to complete the cultural complex while preserving centenary trees and visually opening to the ancient fortified wall and city beyond. Simple, primitive forms and local materials reflect a Sardinian sensibility, while the gesture of breaking up the new museum into discreet volumes transforms the simple cluster of galleries into an architecture that is at once contextual and abstract.

A very direct organizational logic yields

a form that works effectively for both internal and external spaces. Planned within a cartesian grid, all museum program with exception of galleries is efficiently organized on axis with the historic 18th Century Beaux Arts museum. By rotating the galleries 20 degrees to true north, optimum solar orientation enables naturally illuminated exhibition spaces with northern light.

Just as interior and exterior spaces interpenetrate, so do two types of forms: the orthogonal-polygonal, as perceived from the exterior, and the organic, which produces a series of spatial surprises or ‘follies’. Occurring at passage points of incongruency between rotated galleries and the rest of the museum, the follies create connections. Where the exterior building envelope is heavy and rough, composed of locally-formed, sand-cast concrete the folly materiality is soft, transparent and irrational. With an almost labyrinthine character, visitors traverse the museum through a grand circulation loop of intervening spaces.

In 2012, the City of Lemesos held a competition for architects to propose designs for the Lemesos Museum of Art in the shorline district. One of the competition’s aims was to contribute to the consolidation of a cultural center composed of iconic architectural and programmatic attractants, projecting a singular and contemporary identity on behalf of the city.

Our proposal integrates and reveals the complex layers of history and urbanism that weave through this site, where the Lemesos Museum of Art will be situated for years to come. Acknowledging these complexities, the strategy was to adopt the existing, diagonal circulation axis which generated a binary museum organization of permanent and temporary collections. Interstitial perimeter zones create a buffer between institution and city while enabling impromptu events and large scale installations a visibility beyond the walls of the museum.

We were interested in offering an architectural vision where the paradox and conflicts between building and city, diversity and simplicity, individual and populace erode. As Lemesos seeks to reinvent its cultural center, this building capitalizes on the seduction and impact of the singular image while sustaining that effect through the attenuation of complex informational, structural, and atmospheric systems.

Our proposal for the Leeuwarden Kanaalzone provides a new framework for an urban geography where the best elements from both the natural landscape and project program create a unique condition for living on the water. The framework enables an organization of housing program that is flexible and varied, envisioning a district where history and future, density and openness, identity and diversity coexist. The resulting spatial experience fluctuates between variation and continuity while relating to the canalized way of life in the Fryslân region.

In order to cultivate our emphasis on diversity, we imagine the Archipelago as a multifunctional district. In addition to mixing-in retail, restaurant and leisure functions, our strategy avoids mono-spatial qualities through a mix of buildings. Drawn from a study of waterfront cities, a collection of 9 housing typologies, each with it’s own individual character, create neighborhood identities based on their unique relationship to water.

Despite an increasing density Los Angeles continues to drift and expand boundlessly into undeveloped territory necessitating compact growth and infrastructural overhauls. Within the context of global urbanization, the past decade has provided opportunities to address outmoded patterns of residential development and domestic space in Los Angeles. A renewed interest in an urban lifestyle has prompted private development of higher density alternatives in a city that has long been infatuated with single family houses and private gardens.

Our Shutter Houses proposal was initiated by a desire to embrace density and optimize the building volume within a densifying Hollywood neighborhood. The building is conceived as an abstract volume wrapped in a seemingly random pattern of windows which creates a sense of unity amongst the dwellings. The windows, each carefully positioned function as framing devises for the surrounding urban context. A series of operable shutters enable residents

to individually modulate shading and privacy which in turn expresses use. In automated mode, the shutters respond to environmental conditions, creating light-modulating privacy screens in the dynamic facade.
