Traversing the Edge - New Museum for Contemporary Art Istanbul


Perspective

Motion is an index for a change of condition - It is one of the basic stimuli that attracts human perception immediately. The design concept of the museum hybrid focuses on this idea, by exploring the perceptive relationship between a patterned/ornamented façade and a fluidly changing building mass creating oscillating visual effects of depth and implied motion. The idea of motion is also seen as an index for Turkeys changing social and political situation and Istanbul’s unique role as the linking hub between Europe and Asia, where ideas from both continents have converged for centuries.


Siteplan

Istanbul, from an urban perspective, grows exuberantly along it´s steep slopes facing the Marmara Sea and the Golden Horn, while the inland sides are often neglected, forming underdeveloped pockets. By placing a cultural building on an inland slope off Taksim square, the project tries to initiate urban renewal, densification and gentrification away from the waterside. Through this Istanbul could grow to its inside, instead of further expanding along the sea.


Perspectives


The diversified topology around the site supports this idea by generating a multitude of vistas, that strongly vary in height and angle, changing the perception of the building from multiple points in the city.


Circulation



The museum is seen as an urban connector and destination point, where art should be able to flow out of the building and the city should be able to flow inside. Through an all-time open atrium
where visitors are welcomed to engage in artistic discourse, attend music, cinematic and arts festivals, or maybe just hang out on their way elsewhere, the museum becomes a hybrid space where different kinds of people can meet and unexpected events can occur.

Organizationally the museum tries to create a mixture between a fluid open space concept that uses specifically shaped, unique volumes for the permanent collection and more versatile spaces for the temporary exhibitions.



Section


By combining the museum with an office tower the project is futher connected to the social context of hotels and offices surrounding the site, generating sufficient funding for the museum.

Second Solar




Design of a Spaceship for the Sensapolis
Science and Entertainment Center for Children
While working for differentfutures we got the chance to design, plan and built this spaceship.
On the 800 m² interior exhibition space installations, science, fun and games around the topic of space exploration are displayed.
Due to the close time-frame of the project, all surfaces of the hull where CNC milled, while the rest is built with "standard" construction techniques.

Electric Dreams Car Design Center




Eco bling bling

The design of the Tesla Motors Car Design Center focuses on the
on the synergetic combination of design and eco-technologie.
By focusing on the creation of surface highlights as a design strategy, the project relates itself to product design, which uses controlled highlights to create recognisability.

For this the design explores possibilities of car industrie analysis tools and aerodynamic principles, futher relating the building to the clients approach of an synergetic combination of design and eco-technologie.

Wroclaw Concert Hall

Wroclaw Cocert Hall





Wroclaw is a City with an c­ultural and architectural heritage looking for the bilbao effect. By generating a 300 m long structure the building becomes a landmark, that can be recognized from any airplane crossing the cities vicinity. Embedded in the cities cultural belt, the meander volume of the building enhances the rhythmical change between building, plaza and park in wroclaw, connecting the opera, castle and stock exchange through 
an new cultural landscape on wroclaw´s inner-city boundary.




The projects explores the possibilities of parametrically controlled components for an new kind of structural ornament for panelising a building envelope. The changing façade elements are a device to negoiate between the functions of the building and the surrounding city.

The use of ruled shearing surfaces articulates the Concert hall shapes, building skin and circulation allowing for a fluid interaction of skin, circulation and embedded concerthall volumes. A discret panelisation logic subdivides the building envelope creating closure and apparture at the same time.



Organization
The building consists of three organizing elements,
the envelope, the concert halls and an nesting volume that follows the surface logic of the envelope and takes up the sideprogramm, while blending between volume and walk able surface.



Parametic Skin Panalisation

Through altering the parametric input facade panel size, orientation and ratio can be adjusted in order to fit the specific needs at the given situation.

Framing Motion is a design for Dancingschool and Theater

The project focuses on the exploration of the temporal changes of
interstitial space between two dancers during dancing.

The form was generated through the overlay of interstitial spaces in keyfigures
of several dance styles.

Exhibition Napoleonstadl - Stucco Frequence Cocoon

Napoleonstadl - Stucco Frequence Cocoon
Temporary Installation in
the Carinthian Architectur Center


The competition brief provided an detailed! history of the Napoleonstadl and
a cataloge of sponsored material, that we were inspired to the following:

As mysthical as the story of Napoleons usage of the "old" House, are the reports of the effects of mobile phone frequences and fields with other medias, like humans.



The proposal for the Exhibtion in the Napoleonstadl focuses on the visualisation of the mobile field effects through a pysical body. Similar to a castle, on which the marks of battle can still be seen although the force that created them has long fanished, the deformation of this body materialises the interaction with the unrecognisable fields sourrounding us every day.

The installation inverts the spacial and temporal condition of the existing building, with the 1830 building filled with an 20th century steel interior.

By representing the raptured virtual body through stripes of anti-mobile frequence net on the outside and an complete art-nouvo stucco profile wrap on the interior forming an unique exhibition space and bar.
