OUR VISION

We see this project as a wonderful opportunity to regenerate the heart of this historic town. In thinking about how to respond we have focussed on three main obligations -

to the people of the town •

to the town itself as an evolving material entity•

to the owner/developer•

The people of the town

The first of these obligations is to do with creating something that the people of Tunbridge Wells can feel in some sense ‘belongs to them’. There are several ways in which we propose to achieve this, but they all turn on the idea of public inclusion. Our scheme creates a new civic piazza on the corner of the main intersection. This space is offered as a gesture of public goodwill and can become a key focal point in the life of the town, its ‘outdoor living room’. It is the place where you would arrange to meet your friends; a place for coffee, lunch, drinks, supper; the place where the town’s Christmas tree would stand and carol singers perform, a place to relax for a few minutes on your way up or down the main hill. The piazza will also be animated by the many functions it serves – restaurant, hotel, spa, office, and roof garden access – as described next.

A development of this size will also necessarily impact on the town’s skyline. There is a sense in which the skyline of a town is public property – many of the buildings that already register on the skyline, town hall, opera house, various church towers, have a public dimension. Accordingly we feel that an architectural intervention which alters the skyline should include a ‘public offer’ at roof level. Our scheme proposes the creation of a public sky garden and bar, surmounted by a camera obscura. This ancient and wondrous device is perfectly suited to elevated locations such as this, and will allow the development to ‘give the town back to its inhabitants’. It will also of course be a significant attraction for its many tourists for whom the camera obscura will provide an introduction to Tunbridge Wells and a means of orientation. The roof profile of our scheme will thus be characterised by a signature form with which everyone can identify.

The town as a material artefact

The second obligation relates to the physical quality of what is built, and the urban relationships it establishes with its location and its neighbours. We have sought to respond to the genius loci of Tunbridge Wells in both the strategic organisation and formal language of the scheme. Rather than building out the principal site corner with an assertive convex form to challenge to Town Hall, the generous re-entrant of the proposed piazza acknowledges and absorbs the diagonal thrust of that building across the intersection, answering a solid with a void; the series of stepping pavilions with their attic rooms that lines the Mount Pleasant Road frontage echoes the cubic forms of the bank and buildings opposite and elsewhere on this main shopping street; the slender sculptural form of the access tower that serves the roof garden will stand as an urban marker at the intersection and enter into dialogue with the tower of Trinity church, whose height it respects. Meanwhile the south west corner of the scheme steps back from its residential neighbours, reducing to their scale, while crowning the whole the curving planted wall of the rooftop accommodation will soften the building outline and presents as a built metaphor for the hillside of Mount Ephraim running parallel along the west edge of the town, the conical outline of our camera obscura in effect becoming another ‘boulder’ to echo Wellington Rocks.

As to the material character of the building fabric, we envisage the principal cladding being a warm stone, used both in smooth ashlar and a more textured finish to articulate different elements of the facades. Our vision is of a finely crafted quality artefact, worthy of comparison with the best historic buildings of the town, not mannerist but well mannered, speaking in a clear contemporary language that asserts a confident but not ostentatious identity. Our objective is to create not a ‘Noughties’ icon but an assimilated classic. We want it to look good for decades, not just for the season.

The Camera Obscura

There is reference to a temporary camera obscura in Tunbridge Wells in 1834 giving ‘panoramic views of our furze-clad common’. This wondrous device, of which the earliest recorded mention is in 5th century BC China, was studied by Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Kepler and many 17th & 18th century artists. The camera obscura room is an amenity for both education and enjoyment and is ideally located in areas of scenic beauty and raised elevation – such as this outstanding site in Tunbridge Wells. Our proposal will reinstate this historic facility with a modern ‘state of the science’ installation drawing residents and tourists to an exciting real-time ‘virtual’ tour of the town.

The client/developer

In considering our obligations to the client our objective has been to configure the development in such a way as to provide all the accommodation demanded in the brief, optimise flexibility and maximize the site potential. Large retail floorplates are provided, but may be subdivided to suit changing requirements. An active and commercially attractive retail street frontage is maintained all along Mount Pleasant Road and into the piazza, where entrances to the restaurant, hotel, spa and office are located.

The development is zoned in planning ‘contours’ allowing a series of longitudinal north-south atria that extend from the piazza canopy to enliven the retail and the hotel components. Retail floorspace that abuts the hotel lobby may have dual access if desired. The office ‘offer’ is enhanced by the location of its entrance and reception at the piazza and the provision of executive floorspace at upper levels on the street frontage. The hotel also derives value from its entrance position on the piazza while locating the vertical core in such a way as to give the bedrooms the best southerly outlook. Meanwhile the rooftop bar may be managed as a hotel function only, or as part of the public camera obscura facility. Vehicular service access is provided directly into all the respective uses from the covered service area on the west side, entered from Church Road, and ample parking is accommodated at lower levels from the south for allocation as required. In other words, there are many possible permutations in how the scheme could be developed and we would look forward to working with the client to further interrogate the brief, explore the options and tune the scheme accordingly.

Victoria Transport InterchangeBuilding Nos.7A and 7B



KPF developed this urban scheme for central London and at Avanti architects we studied different facade solutions to complete Planning application package. Strict planners, a sensitive site and a great media pressure of this project were key facts to take in mind for the final design decisions.

Clapham State. Housing. Competition. Avanti ArchitectsCompetition to improve Clapham State. Nowadays, the existing housing lacks of insulations or any sort of higienic facilities. The new proposal opens a central open space, and densifies this area of new centrality in the southern London.

A R C H I T E C T O N I C Q U A L I T Y & U R B A N C O N T E X T

The site is placed at a unique location in the urban geometry of Stockholm where the oblique line of Odenplan, with its church and triangular public realm, intersects the orthogonal grid of the city. The energy of this oblique axis is carried deep into the building and signals the entrance from the west 1. It also informs the splay at upper levels of the main block, thereby preserving the iconic view of Asplund’s drum. But there is another crucial locational factor – the observatory hill. The sectional organisation of our scheme responds to this by providing a functional and ceremonial linkage between street level and the hill with its wonderful views of Asplund’s masterpiece and over Stockholm as a whole 2. The support block reaches up to embrace the hill and exploit its drama. Out of these extraordinary geometries of the site and its context – the man-made and the natural – we have forged the architectonic quality of our design. Our building thus aims not only to respond to the city, but also become a microcosm of it. It seeks an equivalent diversity of spaces – to meet, to be separate, to relax, to study, to reflect, to congregate, to explore. Just as a city may be thought of as a sort of giant library (a concentration of people, networks, resources and encounters) so we have tried to think of our library as a small city.

F U N C T I O N A L I T YOur proposal is configured as a dual entity – a principal building, containing all the main public functions, and a linked support building that accommodates the ancillary / administration and plant services which enable the main block to operate effectively. The main building is conceived as a framed structure of four ‘heavy’ floorplates at double storey height intervals, which relate to the datum levels of the Asplund library. These floorplates are penetrated by voids and light wells that bring natural light deep into the building and offer views out of it. The resulting ‘lost’ areas are then replaced by mezzanines, which may be ‘tuned’ in plan, area and ambiance as desired. The departmental requirements of the brief may thus be laid out in an almost infinite variety of ways within this ‘generic’ matrix 3. We have shown an initial iteration of floor uses and departmental locations – News Zone near the entrances, Nature by the roof garden, the Swedish Institute entered directly or via the main building, etc – but the proposal should really be read as a flexible system of opportunities, open for re-interpretation, both during later phases of this competition and then through the building’s future life 4. The support building takes delivery access for the complex from Gyldengaten and, being of narrower depth, has floors at every level. These may thus be linked with the main building at both primary and mezzanine floors. The floorplates themselves are zoned for public / departmental, staff and visitor orientation functions with consistent service spines and links at each level for staff movement and book management 5. And in all public areas and levels there is the childrens’ trail offering a voyage of discovery through the building.

F E A S I B I L I T YOur building design is conceived as a wholly realistic and feasible proposition without competition gimmicks or false rhetoric. Its drama derives from the way it accommodates and expresses its functionality and engages with its setting. It employs known technologies to achieve a sustainable concept, allowing ample capacity for new technology – especially in relation to IT – to redefine real and virtual relationships in the future. Each department may define its own identity within the building armature while remaining fully connected with the rest of the library community. Our scheme also lends itself easily to phased implementation 6 whereby the support building and west section are constructed first to provide decant space for continuity of functions from the annexes, thereby allowing clearance of the remaining annex and construction and connection of the principal building.

R E L A T I O N S H I P T O A S P L U N D L I B R A R Y

Honouring the Asplund library while providing the required new facilities demands choices to be made. Elements of the existing complex have to make way for the new. We believe the correct response is to remove and redevelop the annexes, which are less significant, and retain and refurbish the iconic main building. The relationship of the new with the old is then established in many ways. First, the main body of the new building is set apart from the old to create a top-glazed entrance courtyard that presents Asplund’s west façade as if still external. This courtyard with its informal café and meeting areas also preserves the view south to the hill and the shortcut link across the rear (south-west) corner 7. Meanwhile by virtue of the gradient of Odengaten, the west entrance allows level access to the Asplund at Reading Room level 8. An incision is made in this façade, where the fenestration rhythm changes, in order to insert a new stair and bridge connection. This intervention will reinstate the lightwell concept at the corner segment of Asplund’s plan and proclaim the new access to the Reading Room – its premier space. The old and new buildings are now securely connected, but further staff / service linkage is also provided via a basement tunnel and an upper bridge level. In volumetric terms the new building is stratified to align with Asplund’s main cornices. The 2nd floor cutback allows a splendid roof garden to be provided. Then the escalator that traverses the building north-south continues to the restaurant level with its link to the hill and its dramatic terrace affording panoramic views of Asplund, the park and the city 9.

L O O K I N G T O T H E F U T U R E As this is an ‘Ideas Competition’ we have thought deeply about how resilient our ideas may be in the evolution of the project. We believe the key strategies informing our scheme are inherently capable of assimilating change during the unfolding narrative of the project – not only through the next phases of the competition but in the future life of the building itself. The brief is dynamic, priorities will change, the unforeseen will occur – as it usually does. But by conceiving our proposal as a fusion of the permanent and the flexible we believe it can serve the future in both of the worlds we now inhabit – the real and the virtual – thereby becoming truly A L I B R A R Y F O R L I F E

A L I B R A R Y F O R L I F E

We entered this competition because we are inspired by the idea of Asplund’s library being a place of discovery and enlighten-ment for the people of Sweden, and by the potential of the project to enhance this role. We have sought to respond to all the aspirations of the brief – to create a design of high architectonic quality; to devise a functional, flexible facility that can provide all and more of the serv-ices that are required now and may be needed in the future; to stitch the new building securely into its urban context; to conceive it in an eminently buildable form, and – by its relationship to the original Asplund library building – to honour and re-present that building in such a way as to convey and intensify its meaning for new genera-tions of users, staff and visitors.

"L'habitatge només es pot considerar com una part de la comunitat, on ambdos deuen interactuar entre si."

P. i A. Smithson

L'edifici prefabricat, per exigències en la velocitat d'execució, no té una voluntat socialitzadora. Més aviat s'imposa al terreny, amb un mínim esforç d'adaptació a la topografia.

Al s.XXI es busca una reciprocitat entre edifici i espai públic. Tot forma part de la comunitat. S'utilitzen i es necesiten un a l'altre.

A Badia del Vallès hi podem trobar 3 tipus d'habitatges. L'habitatge que es tracta en aquest PFC és el denominat T-H. Son agregables pels testers creant una pantalla edificatòria, i també pels núclis d'escales formant una H. Aquesta última opció crea uns patins interiors, que pel fet de ser comunitaris però inútils, queden abandonats a la seva sort. Estrella pb+4

Per què re-utilitzar un bloc existent?

Els blocs no s'adecuen a les necesitats socials. No cubreixen les expectatives de salubritat, i la seva flexibilitat és escasa.

"La Substitució no és la única ni última alternativa per canviar les coses. La Transformació té més sentit des d'una perspectiva econòmica, sostenible i de la memòria."

La posibilitat que ens ofereix el reaprofitament de l'estructura de murs i les plaques del forjat mereix si més no un estudi.

Cal fer un esforç en el camí de la sostenibilitat, per aprofitar el màxim del contruit, i estalviar enderrocs.Així es mantenen el màxim de forjats, només desestimant aquells que no ens donen les alçades o les llums mínimes per a un desenvolupament correctes d'algunes activitats.

Situant els nous núclis de comunicació verticals al perímetre dels forjats. I aquests núclis s'aniran adaptant i modificant per complir adeqüadament amb la seva funció variant on les circumstàncies ho requereixin.
