C h a n c e s ! Thinking of the past to build the future

Phase 5. Hybridations. Frac
We like to see buildings like “time machines”. We protect coming from the past, and we try to enable a relationship of t a way that both together satisfy the current needs of the soc building. We enjoy thinking that someone in future will take a do it again. This building will help future’s people to understa way, to wonder how future will be.

Phase 5. Hybridations. Frac
The proposal for FRAC conversion into a music hall is based in a central space that enables a series of peripherical movements connecting different public spaces: one created in front of the building, the second in the medium floor and the last one surronding the building’s roof.
Improved lighting and sound conditions are provided by the geometry and position of different volumes. The user is to pass through different spaces, and to discover the coworking of two structures (the old yard one and the new efte envelope).
Phase 5. Hybridations. Bois le Pretre
Axonometry section E: 1/100
This project brings to the existing conditions of poor lighting, a vertical continuos space in which lighting conditions change in relation to the use of that particular space. From the very dark entrance, intermediate spaces are made with very specific lighting conditions for different purposes. The top part of the building is a viewer to the city, but also to the building itself.

Phase 1. Findings. Frac.
Lacaton & Vassal’s FRAC project arises from the idea that the existing yard is a valuable space that should remain untouched. They create a complementary building to articulate project needs, and link both spaces in a complementary way.
Phase 1. Findings. Bois le Pretre.
Lacaton & Vassal’s Bois le Pretre intervention focuses in bringing to the existing building complementary space and new lighting conditions in order to provide valuable spaces where living is as pleasant as in the best conditions, but reducing the cost of the project almost 90 %.
Phase 2. Reductions. Frac.
Phase 2. Reductions. Bois le Pretre.
The existing residential building, Bois le Pretre, in the PHASES 1 and 2 of FINDINGS and REDUCTIONS, we discovered the Dominant Architectural Strategies (EAD) and Minimum Architectural Strategies (EAM) of the project. This EAD and EAM are: Enlarge this space becoming a multifunctional space, open to the outside, to life with new opportunities related to both the exterior and the interior. All this by extending the floors and using transparent windows.
Phase 3, 4, 5. Homogenizations, displacements and hybridations. Models. Frac.
FRAC model in phase 3 follow the idea of bringing continuity to Lacaton & Vassal ideas. One of them is the concept of “landmark to be preserved� and is complemetely related to the shape of the building. The second major issue is the existence of two complementary spaces that are interacting, and generating rich perceptive situations and new spaces. Phase 4 is related to how all the items experimented in phase 3 can mix with a new use: a music hall. Two different alternatives are provided: the first (over this paragraph) takes advantage of the void for the main stage, and the structure coming from previous phases to be supporting audience. The second wants to preserve the void as it is conceived by Lacaton & Vassal, the stage in front of a huge window to the landscape. Both bring a new public space in the front of the building.
Models FRAC
Phase 5 model is directly devoted to the experience of visiting the building. It provides very particular conditions of how movements are around the building, how light gets into the different spaces and how perception changes depending on where the visitor is placed. This comes from Peter Zumthor’s ideas and how atmospheres are so relevant in his different works.

Floorplans PHASE 3, 4 and 5 S: 1/200
Phases 3 & 4 are explained here together as, they follow the same pattern (two connected areas: the existing and the new). Phase 5, however, brings a central space that reduces the floor plan of the existing building, but providing the user with a series of vertical views of the building.

The progress or evolution of the differents plants from PHASE 3 to PHASE 5 varies because since private use, housing block, has become a totally public use, Concert Hall. Not only use also the elements are organized in a new way. Above all changes in a linear condition to a more circular. Now the existing and new elements are more complex than the beginning because we have an hybridization with Peter Zumthor
Phase 3, 4, 5. Homogenizations, displacements and hybridations. Elevations. Frac.
The elevation in the different phases in any of the faces of the building does not change much because of the preservation purposes of the project.

Elevations FASE 3, 4 and 5 S: 1/200
In the elevations from PHASE 3 to PHASE 4 maybe not vary too much, because a similar to that of the previous phase structure is kept, but in Phase 5, there is enough change because of the hybridization with Peter Zumthor. We have new items but they work the same way at first. Elevations show the beauty of the building. The shape of the building changed a lot, but with more complexity than the first one.

In sections we still have that big difference between the existing building and the added. The massive, or light and transparent. The importance of light is changing all the time in this project, but generally a horizonta direction changes to a vertical direction. Existing elements of both, transparent and semi-transparent, and the new, opaque panels that direct direct light are used.
