Ce cycle de conférence doit permettre au grand public de comprendre comment se fait l’architecture et de lui faire découvrir le métier d’architecte à travers l’histoire d’un projet. Les maîtres d’œuvre invités, français ou étrangers, pré- senteront chronologiquement toute l’histoire d’un de leurs projets, de la commande jusqu’à sa réalisation et à son appropriation par l’utilisateur. Ces conférences permettent de mieux appréhender les contraintes rencontrées par les maîtres d’œuvre, de décou- vrir les liens tissés avec le maître d’ouvrage et les différents intervenants, de connaître les réflexions des architectes 1 bâtiment sur la comande et sur les règlements qui varient selon les villes, selon les pays. Régulièrement d’autres architectes viendront ainsi nous parler, de projets, d’échelles et de programmes différents. Dominique ALBA Directrice Générale du Pavillon de l’Arsenal 2 MVRDV Company Profile MVRDV was set up in Rotterdam (NL) in 1993 by Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries. In close collaboration the 3 principal architect directors produce designs and studies in the fields of architecture, urbanism and landscape design. Early projects such as the headquarters for the Public Broadcasting Company VPRO and the WoZoCo housing for elderly in Amsterdam brought MVRDV to the attention of a wide field of clients and gave them international acclaim. Realized projects include the Dutch Pavilion for the World EXPO 2000 in Hannover, an innova- tive business park ‘Flight Forum’ in Eindhoven, the Silodam Housing complex in Amsterdam, the Matsudai Cultural Centre in Japan, Unterföhring office campus near Munich, the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam, an urban plan and housing in The Hague Ypenburg, the rooftop - housing extension Didden Village in Rotterdam, the cultural Centre De Effenaar in Eindhoven, the boutique shop- ping building Gyre in Tokyo, Veldhoven’s Maxima Medical Centre and the iconic Mirador housing in Madrid. The grand variety of projects continues in the work of the office. Current projects in progress or on site include various housing projects in the Netherlands, Spain, China, France, Austria, the United Kingdom, USA and other countries, a television centre for Zürich, a public library in Spijke- nisse (NL), a central market hall in Rotterdam, a culture plaza in Nanjing, China, large scale urban masterplans in Oslo, Norway and in Tirana, Albania, a masterplan for an eco-city in Logrono, Spain and a research masterplan for the future of greater Paris. The more than sixty architects, designers and staff members of MVRDV are organized into teams headed by project leaders. In each team, different fields and scales of MVRDV’s projects are re- flected, both in the (international) background of team members and in the variation of work. To allow a wide range of commissions to be handled, special design teams are set up for individual commissions. Each design team is led by one of the principal architects (Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs or Nathalie de Vries) and a senior architect / project manager. Based on the scope of the work in the different phases designers and specialists will be added to the team. The senior architect is responsible for the day-to-day communication and organization. The design team will be assisted by advisors in the fields of building and installation technology, building sciences, building management and building costs. In this way MVRDV’s generalism and verve is linked with the specialization and thoroughness of the other team members. At an early stage of the design process MVRDV involves as many users and advisors as viable. Reactions to the first designs can be processed quickly, creating a high degree of support for the design and encouraging the sort of new insights that can lead to specific innovative solutions. MVRDV works all over the world and therefore is used to collaborate with local architects, con- struction groups and specialists. MVRDV has a wide knowledge and experience in working with collective contracts, insurances and planning documents that create a base for collective approaches. MVRDV has permanent relationships with engineering firms to activate the exchange of up to date knowledge. The work of MVRDV is published and exhibited worldwide and received many international awards. The monographic publications FARMAX (1998) and KM3 (2005) illustrate the work of the Rotterdam based office. 3 MVRDV Principal Architects / Founding Directors WINY MAAS (1959, Schijndel, The Netherlands) RHSTL Boskoop – landscape architecture (1983) Technical University of Delft - Architecture and Urbanism (1990, honorable mention) Co-founder and co-director MVRDV Rotterdam 2008/- Director and founder of The Why Factory, research institute for the future city, Delft School of Design, Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology, NL 2007/- Professor in architecture and urban design, Faculty of Architecture, Technical University of Delft NL 2006/2007 Herbert Baumer Distinguished Visiting professor, Austin E.

On top of an existing monumental house and atelier, the bedrooms are positioned as separate houses, optimizing the privacy of every member of the family. The houses are distributed in such a way that a series of plazas, streets and alleys appear as a mini-village on top of the building. Parapet walls with windows surround the new village. Trees, tables, open-air showers and bench- es are added, optimizing the rooftop life. By finishing all elements with a blue poly-urethane coat- ing a new “heaven” appears. It creates a crown on top of the monument. The addition can be seen as a prototype for a further densification of the old and existing city. It adds a roof life to the city. It explores the costs for the beams, infrastructure, and extra finishes and it ultimately aims to be lower than the equivalent ground price. 5 Didden Village top view Family Didden TP194 client worknummer PLan Level 2 DIDDEN VILLAGE built project phase Dunantstraat 10 5 10 15 3024 BC Rotterdam NL plan-roof 1:100 Postbus 63136 drawing scale 3002 JC Rotterdam NL Tel: 31.10.4772860 Fax: 31.10.4773627 E-mail: [email protected] Plan Level 1 Family Didden TP194 client worknummer DIDDEN VILLAGE built project phase Dunantstraat 10 5 10 15 3024 BC Rotterdam NL plan-roof 1:100 Postbus 63136 drawing scale 3002 JC Rotterdam NL Tel: 31.10.4772860 Fax: 31.10.4773627 E-mail: [email protected] Plan Level 0 Concept 6 Family Didden TP194 client worknummer DIDDEN VILLAGE built project phase Dunantstraat 10 5 10 15 3024 BC Rotterdam NL plan-roof 1:100 Postbus 63136 drawing scale 3002 JC Rotterdam NL Tel: 31.10.4772860 Fax: 31.10.4773627 E-mail: [email protected]

  • New Trends En El Mundo
    1 NEW TRENDS EN EL MUNDO La cuarta edición del New Trends of Architecture comenzó en Patras, Grecia, Capital europea de la Cultura 2006, en Junio de ese mismo año. La inauguración fue el día 2 de Junio del 2006. New Trends of Architecture fue fundada en el 2001 por un grupo de consejeros japoneses de la cultura y los medios de comunicación, de quince estados miembros de la Unión Europea, Instituciones Culturales europeas y de la Delegación de la Comisión Europea en Japón. El objetivo es crear una plataforma que constituya una oportunidad para compartir ideas y experiencias entre Europa y Asia Pacífico, a través de exposiciones anuales y simposiums para arquitectos emergentes europeos, japoneses y de otros países del Pacífico que tendrán lugar en Japón y otras capitales europeas. El proyecto fue reconocido no solo por el mundo de la arquitectura sino también por el mundo diplomático. El antiguo director de la comisión europea, Romano Prodi y, el primer ministro de Japón, Junichiro Koizumi, mencionaron este proyecto especialmente como un programa de intercambio importante durante la cumbre euro japonesa en Julio 2002. En el año 2004, coincidiendo con la ampliación de la Unión Europea, la tercera edición de New Trends of Architecture fue presentada como una nueva iniciativa: un proyecto para las regiones de Europa y el Pacífico asiático. La exposición, acompañada de un simposium, fue organizada en Lille, Hong-Kong, Tokio, Cork, Melbourne y Anyang. En cada ciudad resultó ser una fuente de encuentros e intercambios enriquecedores. El concepto básico de este proyecto fue inspirado por la idea europea de la Capital Europea de la Cultura.

  • Mirador Building MVRDV
    Mirador Building MVRDV The Mirador building, by MVRDV and Blanca Lleo, is a housing unit located in location: the rapidly developing and industrialized suburb of Hortaleza, near Madrid. Madrid, Spain There exists a large difference in context between the agglomerated urban environment of the highline, and the Mirador, placed remotely in the middle of date completed: other residential units, surrounded by highways. 2001-2005 There are however, key parallels to be made between the two sites. First, the highline, in its elevation from the ground, establishes itself as a point of visual primary program: interest. The idea of gaze on the street is further developed as one stands on residential the highline, where a series of views of the city are deliberately framed. Similarly, the Mirador building aims to create a contrast in relation to its sur- secondary program: roundings. The design decision was to negate the horizontal, flat development sky plaza of adjacent buildings, and rotate the Mirador to a considerable height of 60m above the ground. The architects took the typology of surrounding buildings, primary structure: which all have large inner courtyards, and expressed these elements vertically steel truss roof system within the Mirador. The result is an elevated platform, 14 stories above ground. As the name suggests, the building is designed in relation to the surrounding landscape and opportunities for observing it. The elevated platform becomes a total floor area: key point in this respect. 18300 m2 at 22 floors Both the Mirador and the highline provide alternate levels and manners of cir- maximum building height: culation, trying to reinvent the opportunities available for community gather- 40 m ing.The Mirador makes a bold statement in its exposed, red circulation corridor that traverse the building in what creates a network of streets, alleyways, a climate zone: microcosm of the city within a building.

    Communication from Public Name: Damian Pipkins Date Submitted: 02/23/2020 07:54 AM Council File No: 19-0770 Comments for Public Posting: This is my public comment for building ideas for the Leimert Park parking lots near the Crenshaw LAX line. Housing Ideas Mirador Housing – Madrid, Spain Mirador Housing – Madrid, Spain • Mirador housing in Madrid’s Sanchinarro quarter is more than just a block of flats. • It’s closer to a vertical collection of mini neighborhoods. • Dutch architectural firm MVRDV created slits between the blocks in the construction imagined as upright alleyways, and the large open space near the top has been dubbed the “sky plaza.” Mirador Housing – Madrid, Spain • This “semi-public” area provides residents with a communal meeting place and features a garden with stunning views of the nearby Guadarrama Mountains. • The project won the Madrid municipality’s Best Design in Housing prize in 2005, even though it wasn’t completed until 2012. • It contains 165 apartments. Hatert Housing – Netherlands Hatert Housing – Netherlands • Tower Hatert in the Dutch city of Nijmegen is part of the local government’s plan to invigorate its housing. • The rippling, sculpture-like 13-story building was designed by Rotterdam-based studio 24H Architecture. • This development houses 72 apartments as well as a health care center on the ground floor. Hatert Housing – Netherlands • The timber used throughout the construction is FSC certified. • And the non-aligned balconies – with the railings apparently inspired by leaf patterns – ensure that each unit gets enough natural light, while also offering residents uninterrupted views of their surroundings. • This futuristic looking tower was finished in 2011.

    Le Grand Pari(S)ydney – a cultural shift that could work here Le Grand Paris & Sydney: why Sydney should look to the Paris Byera Hadley model of architect-led ateliers for Travelling Scholarships urban growth – that put ideas, not Journal Series politics at the forefront 2015 Tim Williams 1 NSW Architects Registration Board A 2 NSW Architects Registration Board A The Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarships Journal Series is a select library of research compiled by more than 160 architects, students and graduates since 1951, and made possible by the generous gift of Sydney Architect and educator, Byera Hadley. Byera Hadley, born in 1872, was a distinguished architect responsible for the design and execution of a number of fine buildings in New South Wales. He was dedicated to architectural education, both as a part-time teacher in architectural drawing at the Sydney Technical College, and culminating in his appointment in 1914 as Lecturer-in-Charge at the College’s Department of Architecture. Under his guidance, the College became acknowledged as one of the finest schools of architecture in the British Empire. Byera Hadley made provision in his will for a bequest to enable graduates of architecture from a university in NSW to travel in order to broaden their experience in architecture, with a view to advancing architecture upon their return to Australia. Today, the Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship fund is managed by Perpetual as Trustee, in conjunction with the NSW Architects Registration Board.
