“Shall We Compete?”
5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall We Compete?” Pedro Guilherme 35 5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall we compete?” Author Pedro Miguel Hernandez Salvador Guilherme1 CHAIA (Centre for Art History and Artistic Research), Universidade de Évora, Portugal http://uevora.academia.edu/PedroGuilherme (+351) 962556435 [email protected] Abstract Following previous research on competitions from Portuguese architects abroad we propose to show a risomatic string of politic, economic and sociologic events that show why competitions are so much appealing. We will follow Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura as the former opens the first doors to competitions and the latter follows the master with renewed strength and research vigour. The European convergence provides the opportunity to develop and confirm other architects whose competences and aesthetics are internationally known and recognized. Competitions become an opportunity to other work, different scales and strategies. By 2000, the downfall of the golden initial European years makes competitions not only an opportunity but the only opportunity for young architects. From the early tentative, explorative years of Siza’s firs competitions to the current massive participation of Portuguese architects in foreign competitions there is a long, cumulative effort of competence and visibility that gives international competitions a symbolic, unquestioned value. Keywords International Architectural Competitions, Portugal, Souto de Moura, Siza Vieira, research, decision making Introduction Architects have for long been competing among themselves in competitions. They have done so because they believed competitions are worth it, despite all its negative aspects. There are immense resources allocated in competitions: human labour, time, competences, stamina, expertizes, costs, energy and materials.

Home Stories Home Stories v We believe that a home is a collage. A unique composition of objects set in continuous motion by people (and pets). As we move through our lives, we collect the things and the memories that com bine to create the grain and texture of spaces that could only be ours. When a Vitra object arrives in your home, it already comes with a long story. One of a designer who, in collaboration with us, starts a seemingly endless development process, filled with trials and errors. One of a manu facturing attitude where the details are not the details, but what makes the quality of your new piece. And you take this tale forward enriching it with the stories of your own home.

141201 Bio and CV Hella Jongerius
Hella Jongerius Short bio Hella Jongerius studied Industrial Design at the Eindhoven Design Academy and graduated in 1993. She came to prominence very soon after graduating, with a series of her designs being produced by the influential Dutch conceptual design collective Droog Design. She started her own design company, Jongeriuslab, in 1993 in Rotterdam, and in 2009 moved to Berlin. She works for many prestigious clients, including KLM, Vitra, Maharam, Royal Tichelaar Makkum, Artek and Nymphenburg, and her work is held in the collections of MoMA New York, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Design Museum in London, amongst many others. Jongerius designs a range of products, including furniture, lighting, glassware, ceramics, and textiles. Her work combines the traditional with the contemporary, the newest technologies with age-old craft techniques. Jongerius is also fascinated by the value of deviations from perfection, the misfits, the individual character that products can assume. In most of her products, she succeeds in creating this individual character by including craft elements in the industrial production process. As an art director for Vitra and Danskina, she defines an over all concept for the colours and materials of classic and contemporary design. ‘I like to give the classics a new energy. It is an honour to take care of our heritage’. CV born 1963 in De Meern, The Netherlands 1988–1993 Academy for Industrial Design (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) 1993 Starts with design studio

1 Hella Jongerius Hella Jongerius
Hella Jongerius Hella Jongerius’ (1963, the Netherlands) work combines the traditional with the contemporary, the newest technologies with age-old craft techniques. She aims to create products with individual character by including craft elements in the industrial production process. Jongerius sees her work as part of a never- ending process, and the same is essentially true of all Jongeriuslab designs: they possess the power of the final stage, while also communicating that they are part of something greater, with both a past and an uncertain future. The unfinished, the provisional, the possible – they reside in the attention to imperfections, traces of the creation process, and the revealed potential of materials and techniques. Through this working method, Jongerius not only celebrates the value of the process, but also engages the viewer, the user, in her investigation. In 1993, after graduating at the Academy of Industrial Design in Eindhoven, she founded the Jongeriuslab studio, where independent projects are developed as well as work for major clients, including the upholstery fabric company Maharam, the interior design of the Delegates’ Lounge of the United Nations Headquarters in New York, cabin interiors for the airline KLM and the installation ‘Colour Recipe Research’ at the invitation of curator Hans Ulrich Obrist for the MAK (Vienna). Since 2012, Jongerius has served as Art Director for the rug company Danskina and since 2007 as Art Director of colours and materials for Vitra. Recent projects include the publication of the book ‘I don’t have a favourite colour’ for Vitra (2016), the exhibition ‘Breathing Colour’ on her colour research for the Design Museum London (2017) as well as an exhibition and an accompanying publication ‘Beyond the New.

Verner Panton was one of the most influential designers of the 1960s and ‘70s. Born in Denmark, Panton relo- cated to Switzerland in the early 1960s. He became known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, lighting and textiles. Installations such as the legendary ’Visiona’ exhibition demonstrat- ed Panton’s masterful use of colour, which is a hallmark of his work. Vitra has been committed to comfortable seating and the workplace for over 40 years. All Vitra products benefit from this extensive experience. The Panton Chair has won various design prizes world-wide and graces the collections of numerous renowned museums. Its expressive shape makes it a true 20th-century design icon. Panton Junior Thanks to its cheerful, bright colours and its pleasant, gentle curves, the Panton Chair has always been a big hit with children – both as a seat and a toy. As such, very early on Verner Panton pursued the idea of pro- ducing a child’s version of the chair together with Vitra. Although this endeavour failed 35 years ago for eco- nomic reasons, it has now been turned into a reality. The Panton Junior was produced using Panton’s original plans. Unchanged in terms of proportion and material, it is roughly one-fourth smaller than the regular model. Available in six different colours, it is an ideal chair for for children of kindergarten and primary school age. The Panton Chair is a furniture design classic. Verner Panton created it back in 1960, and together with Vitra, he developed a version that was ready for series production (1967).

Vitra Campus
PRESS INFO Vitra Campus El Vitra Campus, ubicado en la localidad alemana de Weil am Rhein pero cerca de Basilea (Suiza), es un conjunto único de arquitectura contemporánea. Los amantes de la arquitectura y el diseño de todo el mundo son bienvenidos a realizar una visita guiada para conocer la obra de algunos de los arquitectos más prestigiosos, a disfrutar de una exposición en el Vitra Design Museum, a contemplar el acabado artesanal de uno de los clásicos del diseño en el Lounge Chair Atelier y a dejarse inspirar con ideas para su propia casa en la VitraHaus, la tienda insignia de Vitra. El Vitra Campus aúna los aspectos comerciales y culturales del fabricante de muebles suizo Vitra, que fundó Willi Fehlbaum en 1934 como tienda de muebles. En 1950, la producción se trasladó de Birsfelden (Suiza) a Weil am Rhein (Alemania). Cuando en 1981 un incendio redujo a cenizas gran parte del área de producción, la segunda generación de propietarios de la empresa aprovechó la oportunidad para reconstruirlo de la mano de conocidos arquitectos. Naves de producción Finalización: 1981/1983 Arquitecto: Nicholas Grimshaw (*1939) Después del incendio de 1981, y pensando en una identidad corporativa, el británico Nicholas Grimshaw, un representante de la arquitectura de alta tecnología, diseñó un plan maestro que también consideraba las futuras expansiones de Vitra. Seis meses más tarde, ya fue posible reanudar la fabricación en este pabellón revestido de aluminio lacado. La obra representa su primer trabajo en el continente y debía servir como módulo de ejemplo para las posteriores expansiones del campus. Esta tipología se repitió de nuevo en 1983.

Differentiated Continuity and Mutual Support
Differentiated Continuity and Mutual Support How Intersecting and Unrolling Operations, Made Manageable through CAD, Facilitate Richer and More Effective Spatial Articulations Guenter Barczik1 1Erfurt School of Architecture [email protected] The two geometric operations of intersecting shapes with one another and unfolding complex shapes into flat patterns have through CAD software been changed from challenge to triviality. Thus, combinations of shapes that have eluded designers for the difficulty of their handling are now at the hands of everybody who is able to use common CAD packages. We investigate what this can mean for architectural design.

Since their concep- tion in greek and roman architecture, groin vaults made from the intersection of two equal cylinder halfs, have been the epitome of complexity in this re- gard (Figure 1). Only the advent of CAD software that aided the precise determination of three-dimensional intersec- tions changed this in the 1980s. Architects like Pe- ter Eisenman began to develop architectural designs employing numerous, sometimes excessively many intersections and overlaps - perhaps demonstrated in its most extreme form (Davidson 2006) in Eisen- man's never-built design for the Guardiola House in 1988 (Figures 2, 3).
