  • WORKPLACE Foreword
    WORKPLACE Foreword There is a radical transformation underway for workspace in London and the way it is designed, marketed and occupied. New emerging models for co-working, social enterprises and different types of ownership are rapidly changing the established paradigm of ‘CAT A’ commercial space prevalent in the capital over the last 20 years. Our challenge as practitioners, designers and occupiers is to go beyond the trend and to understand the deeper socio-economic shifts and changes informing this new ‘rental economy’. Farrells have extensive experience in this area spanning five decades. From theTVam studios in Camden (recently voted ‘Britain’s most maverick building’ by the Royal Academy) to the office buildings starting on site at Royal Albert Dock which are unique to the UK market. We have always been at the forefront of thinking about the modern workplace. Our recently established research unit within the ‘Farrells Laboratory’ at the Hatton Street Studios looks into the past, present and future of workplace design and this innovative thinking is informing our projects. Peter Barbalov, Partner E: [email protected] “Great workplaces are now as rich in variety as thriving villages and cities. Identity, fun and internal placemaking have succeeded in making offices much more than simply ‘machines for working in’.” Sir Terry Farrell CBE, Principal Farrells WORK ‘PLACE’ We believe architecture and building design should always be informed by the context and ‘place.’ The Point, Paddington, London Embankment Place, London Royal

"The Journey" takes the visitor on a trip around the globe, exhibiting him to the specific conditions of Climate zone Antarctic distinctive climatic zones of the world as extreme as arctic polar, tropical humid and hot dry desert climates. These conditions are realistically reproduced on approx. 5,000 m2 of successive rooms and spaces. A climate and energy concept around the exhibition and experimental areas such as "Elements", "Perspectives", "Opportunities" and the foyer as well as the aquariums has been developed and implemented in an integral planning process. In this process the entire design team from architect and exhibition and media designers to MEP planners, structural Climate zone Niger engineers and building operation managers were to be integrated to coordinate a wide range of individual requirements and advance from compromise to synergy. That way a fully natural strategy for cooling and ventilation based on local climatic potentials, including geothermal energy, could be implemented for the majority of the spaces.

  • SHARE Prague 2019
    SHARE Prague 2019 Connecting people through architecture in Central and Eastern Europe Our more than 20 years experience in the Central and Eastern European market positions our events as one of the most active international forums in the region, a source of continually updated information, supporting the continuous training of specialists and the promotion of young talents. Each year, SHARE Forum has been in pursuit of excellence in the fields of architecture and construction, improving the quality and the complexity of its dynamic events with every edition. We took on the mission to find ways to communicate, share and exchange values, know- how and examples of good practices between East and West. With the idea in mind of an inclusive, free and conscious professional environment to work in, to represent architectural excellence in our built environment, and to open the possibility to work and create better in a context that benefits from administrative, political and investor’s support. At the same time, we believe that there is an unused potential of expression in the architectural profession in Central and Eastern European region and that architects could benefit from more representativeness on a European and global level achieved through proper means of communication and networking. On the prerequisite of this active community of participants and speakers, we decided to set the premises of an international Society of architects - SHARE Society that will enhance the connectivity between its members within a structure where experiences, ideas, and excellence are sharing. SHARE Society, an exclusive group to honor its members for the exceptional work and contributions within SHARE Community during the time.

Está considerada como una de las principales figuras de la arquitectura contemporánea actual. En sus comienzos estudió Matemáticas en la Universidad Americana de Beirut. En 1972 se trasladó a Londres para estudiar arquitectura en la Architecture Association. Se graduó en 1977 obteniendo el Diploma con Mención Especial y poco después ejerció como docente en el propio centro. En 1977 se asoció con la Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) de Londres, trabajando con sus antiguos profesores los arquitectos Rem Koolhaas y Elia Zanghelis. En 1979 fundó su propio estudio de arquitectura en Londres, Zaha Hadid Architects. Durante los años siguientes sigue alternando su faceta docente con sus proyectos arquitectónico. Hadid comenzó a ser conocida por sus magníficos dibujos y pinturas que realizaba para sus proyectos, la mayoría no construídos. Es muy conocido su proyecto ganador ?The Peak? en Hong Kong (1982) y por el proyecto de la Opera House en Cardiff Bay (1994). Las formas utilizadas eran muy revolucionarias y muchos se preguntaban si realmente podían llegar a ser construídas, este rechazo provocó que en última instancia el proyecto de Opera House no siguiera adelante. En 1987 abandonó su estudio de Londres para centrarse en la docencia, recorriendo las más prestigiosas universidades del mundo, como Harvard, Illinois, Hamburgo o Nueva York.

In addition, competition 2002, 1st prizeGFA: 70,000 m² the skyscraper system has been reinterpreted in this project. Even though the building that houses the EIB extension has the proportions of a high-rise, it has been placed on its side at ground level and is covered by a large vaulted glass envelope measuring approx. 13,000 square meters.The EIB building at the edge of the Kirchberg plateau, an area known for its European authorities, banks, and cultural venues designed by well-known architects, is laid out in accordance with the urban development plan established by Ricardo Bofill. One of the two straight facades of the new building faces Boulevard Kirchberg, while the curved glass roof links the building with the valley side and its landscape features. The design references the landscape with internal atriums and continues the lay of the land by terracing the halls, restaurants, conference rooms, and public facilities. The glass envelope acts as an umbrella over the dynamic V-shaped office tracts, which are linked via triangular atriums and conservatories.The partially temperature-controlled atriums function as heat buffers and thereby play an important role in the internal climate concept.
