CENTRE POMPIDOU, PARIS

RENZO PIANO and RICHARD ROGERS 1977

Simon Glynn 2001



-          Inside out construction: the steel skeleton from which the floors are suspended dominantly visible from the outside, together with the giant escalators and with colour coded service ducts.

-          Houses the National Museum of Modern Art

-          Concept: depicted as a collage; portraying the museum itself as movement and to expose all of the infrastructure of the building.

-          Skeleton itself engulfs the building from its exterior, showing all of the different mechanical and structure systems not only so that they could be understood but also to maximise the interior space without interruptions.

SISTER of the Centre Georges Pompidou; CENTRE POMPIDOU-METZ 2010

-          Building is a museum for modern and contemporary art and designed to resemble a traditional Chinese hat, forcing function to follow form. It incorporates innovative carpentry in its structure composed of glued laminated timber that intersects to form a hexagonal mesh.






ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM

-          Creation of a great public attraction.

-          Centrality of the site intensifies the profound relationship between history and the new. Between tradition and innovation.

-          Historical buildings and bold architecture form an ensemble which regenerates the urban significance of the Museum. Solves the complex functional issues and improves exhibitions facilities programming and amenities.

-          As you enter: museum, nature and culture themes are thematised through spatial volumes with glimpses of the exhibitions above.

-          This building tells a unique and a particular story which crystallises ROM’s programmatic content and the singularity of the site. The crystal transforms the secretive and fortress-like character of ROM, turning it into an inspired atmosphere dedicated to the Museum.

-          Cycle park on the roof and features a centrepiece pool overlooked by the statue of Copenhagen.

-          Give visitors the opportunity to try some of the best aspects of Danish city life themselves.

-          Designed as a traffic loop created by the motion of the city bikes and pedestrians tied in a knot.

-          Loops connected in two places: coming from the inside and the exhibition exiting onto the expo grounds. Internal and external parallels. External facade: perforated steel. Inner space: width varies and defines the programme of space.

-          Symbolises lifestyle and sustainable urban development.

-          Pavilion is a monolithic structure: white painted steel keeping it cool during shanghai summer. Roof covered by light blue surfacing texture: the cycle paths.

-          “Throughout the design and realization of the Danish Pavilion a wide range of disciplines, such as architecture, engineering, lighting design and art installations meld together to create a single structure that plays like a finely tuned instrument”, Project Leader of Danish Expo Pavilion 2010 and Partner in BIG, Finn Norkjaer.



SPANISH PAVILION at SHANGHAI EXPO 2010 by EMBT





“With the volumetric, material, and structural inspirations of a wicker basket array, the void of the stands will mold a pavilion in which tubular metallic supports will sustain a wicker grid that will filter the light and function as a climatic membrane that wraps the pavilion.”

-          Incorporates technology to divide an auditorium into three smaller halls.

-          Large foyer space.

-          Pixelated pattern covering the main foyer floor is derived from mapping water flow in Post Philip Bay. Water theme is carried into the aluminium sheeting, perforated with a pattern of randomly spaced circles alluding to bubbles.

-          Clad in timber, the sculptural shapes of the walls reflect the textural qualities of the maritime history of the Yarra River.

-          It establishes a critical link with the inner city’s fabric.

-          Brings a complex brief of organising planning to enable flexibility and delineated functional movement throughout the building.

-          The entry foyer is a mighty space that manages scale with merit and ease, the sculpturally articulated auditorium wall contributes a sense of art and the glazed wall to the city provides a tough, definite edge to adjacent land and river.

-          Reminiscent of Aalto’s lecture halls.

-          Building speculated on the future of convention centres, integrating art, sustainable systems and operational flexibility as key considerations.
