Liquid History Thames River Centre Tide is the ‘Silent Client’ in this transformation of Chambers Wharf, a derelict former cold-store on the Thames in Bermondsey into a multi-use meander of buildings strewn along a newly constituted urban beach. The design was governed by a desire to reconnect people with the ‘liquid history’ of the Thames - a bold new opening in the river wall invites the water in with the tidal flow orchestrating the use of space. A series of experimental art-based processes were employed to inform the project’s design hierarchy. These included a fleet of parcels set afloat on the river to gain a sense of tidal movement, ‘bottling’ the tide at various heights to observe the qualities of the water, and a giant ‘tide-line’, a chromatograph-like print on a 40 metre roll of paper. Ink and water studies contributed to the patinated and oxidized aesthetic for the new buildings’ cladding. Three resident artists’ accommodation pods complete the centre.
NEXT Architects - NEXT projects The Elastic Perspective Type: Folly Location: Carnisselande Client: Municipality Barendrecht Team: Marijn Schenk, Bart Reuser, Michel Schreinemachers with Joost Lemmens, Marieke Spits, Anne Ricard, Agata Piet Material: steel Construction: ABT adviesbureau voor Bouwtechniek Start building: december 2012 Completion: june 2013 Status: Completed 2013-10-04 The Impossible Stair - Officially Open 2009-03-18 Impossible stair for Carnisselande The design consists of a circular stair which leads the visitor up to a height that allows an unhindered view of the horizon. The continuity and endlessness have a double meaning, however. Because of its structure the shape of the object is hard to perceive; every perspective generates a new image with which the design is not only a contextual but also a very literal answer to the given context of the local art plan: an Elastic Perspective. Vlotwatering Bridge The Bat bridge is designed to house bats in as many ways as possible. Elderly homes Campus Uilenstede
Centro de Investigación e Interpretación de los ríos / José Juan Barba © Ignacio Bisbal Grandal Ubicación: Valle del Órbigo, Benavente, Zamora, España Arquitecto: José Juan Barba (Proyecto y Dirección de Obras). Arquitecto Colaborador: Concha Llorden (Proyecto). Técnicos Colaboradores: Miguel A. El proyecto se desarrolla a tres niveles: en relación con el lugar, respondiendo al programa y desarrollando la percepción del espacio. Planta 1. Elevación 2. La condición de territorio inundable, situado en un valle fluvial, define la solución planteada desde su inicio. 3. Los cruces generan intersecciones y estas son leídas por el visitante mediante recorridos. El recorrido del Centro se inicia con una sala de proyecciones donde el visitante recibe un primer baño de información. El edificio se envuelve en sí mismo para generar una abstracción del entorno. La salida del recorrido se realiza a través del pasillo descubierto, artificio entre vidrios, único momento en que se pierde la visión directa de los patios aunque su presencia siga presente.
