7 JULY MEMORIAL Hyde Park, London
EN
FR
A permanent memorial to commemorate the worst terrorist attacks in peacetime London was designed working closely with the bereaved families of the victims killed by the 7 July, 2005 bombings.
Un monument permanent pour commémorer les plus graves attaques terroristes en temps de paix à Londres a été conçu en étroite collaboration avec les familles des victimes qui ont trouvé la mort dans les attentats du 7 juillet 2005.
Located in Hyde Park, the memorials setting on a new park path provides a place for quiet contemplation within one of the largest public places in London. The singular and collective loss inflicted by the bombings has informed the character of the memorial. Fifty-two 850kg stainless-steel cast vertical pillars (or stelae), each representing one of the fifty-two lives lost, are arranged in an open pattern of four interlinked clusters representing the four locations of the bombs.
Situé à Hyde Park, l’emplacement du monument commémoratif sur un nouveau chemin du parc offre un lieu de contemplation silencieux dans l’un des plus grands lieux publics de Londres. La perte individuelle et collective infligée par les attentats à la bombe a défini le caractère du mémorial. Cinquante-deux piliers verticaux moulés en acier inoxydable de 850kg (ou stèles) – chacun représentant l’une des cinquante-deux vies perdues – sont disposés selon un schéma ouvert de quatre groupes interconnectés, représentant les quatre emplacements des bombes.
Each stelae is characterised by the unique marks in its surfaces caused by the open-cast process, as well as an inscription carried at eye-level describing the date, exact timing and location of each life lost. Visitors are encouraged to walk amongst the stelae and ponder their meaning. A plaque is located on a berm at the end of the path and records the names of each victim. Through the language of abstract architecture, the memorial is intended to be a symbol of reconciliation for the families, as well as a permanent reminder for generations to come of the devastating effects of the bombings.
Chaque stèle est caractérisée par des traces uniques sur sa surface – causées par le processus de fabrication à mine ouverte – ainsi que par une inscription gravée à la hauteur des yeux décrivant la date, le moment exact et le lieu de chaque vie perdue. Les visiteurs sont incités à marcher parmi les stèles et à réfléchir sur leur signification. Une plaque est située sur une berme au bout du chemin et contient les noms de chaque victime. A travers le langage d’une architecture abstraite, le mémorial se veut un symbole de réconciliation pour les familles, ainsi qu’un rappel permanent pour les prochaines générations de l’effet dévastateur des bombardements.
PT
Num trabalho desenvolvido, em estreita colaboração com as famílias das vítimas mortais dos atentados de 7 de julho de 2005, desenhamos um memorial permanente, para homenagear os piores ataques terroristas ocorridos em Londres, em tempos de paz. Inserido no Hyde Park, um dos maiores espaços públicos de Londres, o memorial faz parte de um novo caminho para o parque, e proporciona um espaço de tranquila contemplação. A perda singular e colectiva infligida pelos bombardeios, deu forma ao caráter do memorial. Cinquenta e dois pilares (ou estacas) verticais fundidos em aço inoxidável de 850 kg, dispostos num padrão aberto de quatro grupos interligados entre si, simbolizam os quatro locais das bombas e representam as 52 vidas perdidas. Cada pilar tem um carácter único. Conferido pelas marcas singulares na sua superfície, consequentes do processo de fundição aberta e de uma inscrição presente ao nível dos olhos, que descreve a data, o tempo e locais exactos de cada vida perdida. Os visitantes são incentivados a caminhar entre os pilares e refletir sobre o seu significado. No final do percurso, uma placa posicionada na berma, identifica o nome de cada vítima mortal. Através de uma linguagem formal abstracta, o memorial pretende ser um símbolo de reconciliação para as famílias, bem como uma memória permanente para as gerações futuras, dos efeitos devastadores dos bombardeios.

STUDIO EAST DINING Stratford, London
EN
During the summer of 2010, Studio East Dining was built on top of a 35m high multi-storey car park within the live construction site of a major new commercial mixed development in Stratford, East London. The temporary pavilion provided a unique elevated vantagepoint across London’s 2012 Olympic site. A cluster of interlocking timber-lined rooms sheltered by angled translucent roofs, formed a large, singular restaurant space. This allows up to one hundred and forty guests to enjoy an intimate dining experience at communal tables whose orientation were aligned to key views of London’s emerging skyline. The project was designed and built within ten weeks from initial briefing to opening night. With a life-span of only three weeks, the 800m2 lightweight structure was constructed with materials borrowed from the existing construction site including scaffolding boards, scaffolding poles and an industrial grade heat retractable polyethylene roof membrane. All building materials were selected for their ability to be 100% recycled following the closure of the restaurant.
FR
Au cours de l’été 2010, le Studio East Dining a été construit au-dessus d’un parking à plusieurs étages de 35 mètres de haut en plein chantier de construction d’un grand nouveau développement commercial à usage mixte à Stratford, dans l’est de Londres.
PT
Durante o verão de 2010, o Studio East Dining foi construído no último piso de um estacionamento com uma altura de 35m, inserido numa área em obras de um grande empreendimento comercial em Stratford, East London.
Le pavillon temporaire offrait un point de vue unique en hauteur, donnant sur le site Olympique de Londres de 2012. Un ensemble de pièces entrecroisées, tapissées de bois, abritées par des toits translucides inclinés formait un grand espace de restaurant unique. Cela permettait à près de cent quarante invités de profiter d’une expérience culinaire intime à des tables communes dont l’orientation était alignée sur des vues clés de la ligne d’horizon émergente de Londres.
O pavilhão temporário permitiu aos seus utilizadores, usufruir uma vista única sobre o recinto olímpico de Londres no ano de 2012. Um conjunto de espaços entrelaçados, revestidos a madeira e protegidos por telhados translúcidos inclinados, deram lugar a um grande e singular restaurante, capaz de acolher até cento e quarenta convidados, e proporcionar uma experiência de jantar privada, em mesas partilhadas, com uma orientação privilegiada sobre as principais vistas do horizonte emergente de Londres.
Le projet a été conçu et réalisé en dix semaines, du briefing initial à la soirée d’ouverture. D’une durée de vie de seulement trois semaines, la structure légère de 800 m2 a été construite avec des matériaux empruntés au chantier de construction existant, notamment des planches d’échafaudage, des poteaux d’échafaudage et une membrane de toit en polyéthylène rétractable de qualité industrielle. Tous les matériaux de construction ont été sélectionnés pour leur capacité à être recyclés à 100% suite à la fermeture du restaurant.
O projecto foi projectado e construído em dez semanas, desde o briefing inicial até a noite de inauguração, e teve uma vida útil de apenas três semanas. A estrutura leve, de 800m2, foi construída com materiais cedidos pelas obras circundantes, incluindo placas e postes de andaimes, e a membrana do telhado em polietileno retrátil, com um desempenho térmico de nível industrial. Todos os materiais de construção foram selecionados pela sua total capacidade de reciclagem após o fecho do restaurante.

FRIEZE ART FAIR Regent’s Park, London
EN
Each autumn, Frieze Art Fair shows works by more than 1,000 artists represented by contemporary British and international galleries. The fair is hosted within a 20,000m² temporary venue built from tent structures within the remarkable context of Regent’s Park, London. Frieze Art Fair promotes living artists and hosts a curated programme of talks, commissioned art installations and film projects – many of which are interactive and performance based – thereby encouraging visitors to engage with art and artists directly during the four-day fair. Over three consecutive years, Carmody Groarke developed a concept for Frieze that balanced the quality of the art space, the social experience and the existing context. The architectural idea was to construct a series of interlinked, translucent pavilions surrounding the perimeter of the large exhibition tents. The pavilions, located adjacent to the exhibition spaces, were constructed as timber-lined “rooms” arranged around the existing trees within the park and contained the public hospitality and VIP functions. The project proposed the masterplan of the gallery layout as an urban strategy of avenues, streets and squares. The arrangement aimed to give legibility to public circulation within the large-scale tents and created a series of architectural installations which orientated the visitor and provided opportunities for rest and refreshment.

Chaque automne, la Frieze Art Fair est un salon qui présente les œuvres de plus de 1000 artistes, représentés par des galeries contemporaines britanniques et internationales. Le salon est organisé dans un lieu temporaire de 20 000 m², construit à partir de structures de tentes dans le contexte unique de Regent’s Park, à Londres. La Frieze Art Fair promeut des artistes vivants et accueille un programme de conférences, de commandes d’installations artistiques et de projets de films, dont beaucoup sont interactifs et basés sur des performances, encourageant ainsi les visiteurs à participer directement avec l’art et les artistes pendant les quatre jours du salon.
A cada outono, a Frieze Art Fair acolhe obras de mais de 1.000 artistas representados por galerias contemporâneas britânicas e internacionais. A feira é realizada num espaço de ocupação temporária de 20.000 m², construído a partir de estruturas de tendas, inseridas do reconhecido contexto do Regent’s Park, em Londres. A Frieze Art Fair promove artistas vivos e recebe um programa com curadoria de conferências, instalações de arte comissionadas e projecção de filmes, muitos dos quais interativos e com base em performances, estimulando os visitantes a interagirem diretamente com a arte e os artistas, durante os quatro dias da feira.
Pendant trois années consécutives, Carmody Groarke a développé un concept pour Frieze qui combinait la qualité de l’espace artistique, l’expérience sociale et le contexte existant. L’idée architecturale était de construire une série de pavillons interconnectés et translucides entourant le périmètre des grandes tentes d’exposition.
Ao longo de três anos consecutivos, Carmody Groarke desenvolveu um conceito para a Frieze que equilibrava a qualidade do espaço de arte, a experiência social e o contexto existente. O princípio conceptual foi construir um conjunto de pavilhões translúcidos interligados em torno do perímetro das grandes tendas de exposição.
Les pavillons, situés à côté des espaces d’exposition, ont été construits comme des “salles” tapissées de bois et aménagées autour des arbres existants dans le parc et contenaient les services de restauration et les fonctions VIP. Le projet a conçu le plan directeur de l’aménagement de la galerie comme une stratégie urbaine d’avenues, de rues et de squares. L’agencement visait à donner de la lisibilité à la circulation publique dans les grandes tentes et créait une série d’installations architecturales qui orientaient le visiteur et offraient des possibilités de repos et de rafraîchissement.
Os pavilhões, adjacentes aos espaços de exposição, foram construídos como “salas” revestidas a madeira, dispostas em torno das árvores pré-existentes no parque e acolhiam as funções de hospitalidade pública e funções VIP. O projecto propôs o layout masterplan da galeria como estratégia urbana de avenidas, ruas e praças, contribuindo para a legibilidade da circulação do público nas tendas e para criação de uma série de instalações que orientaram os visitantes e lhes proporcionaram simultaneamente oportunidades de descanso e relaxamento.

THE FILLING STATION King’s Cross, London
EN
The conversion of a derelict petrol station in King’s Cross in 2012 was an opportunity to create a new sense-of-place in a part of London that was seeing radical regeneration through a commercial estate masterplan. Taking account of the quickly evolving post-industrial context, a new external public events space and diner-style restaurant was created overlooking the Regent’s Canal. Utilising the existing petrol station canopy and forecourt, a new public space enabled the venue to be programmed for diverse cultural activities including performances, exhibitions, lectures and artistic collaborations. These new programmes were enclosed by a curvaceous, 200m long, prefabricated fibreglass screen that corresponded to the site’s existing features and offered protection and respite from the surrounding busy arterial roads. The material quality of the translucent screen took on very different characteristics with natural land artificial light and provided a strong new identity for the site, by day and by night. The existing kiosk was re-purposed as the restaurant’s dining room. Following its three-year lifespan, The Filling Station was removed to make way for a new mixed-use development. The legacy of this relatively short-term project has been to develop a point of continuity for a part of London that has seen dramatic large-scale social, physical and economic transformation. Without erasing or denying The Filling Station’s previous structure or use, the intervention suggested alternative ways of inhabiting and participating in a city and alluded to the future uses for this site.
FR
PT
Le réaménagement d’une station-service abandonnée à King’s Cross en 2012 a été l’occasion de créer un nouveau sentiment d’appartenance dans un quartier de Londres qui vivait une régénération radicale grâce à un plan directeur de domaine commercial. Tenant compte du contexte postindustriel en rapide évolution, un nouvel espace extérieur pour événements publics et un restaurant de style diner ont été créés, surplombant le Regent’s Canal.
Esta reconversão, de um posto de gasolina abandonado em King’s Cross, no ano de 2012, foi a oportunidade para desenvolver um novo espaço, numa zona em franca e radical regeneração em Londres, consequência da implementação de um novo plano director comercial. Tendo em consideração a rápida evolução do contexto pós-industrial, foi desenvolvido um novo espaço exterior para acolher eventos públicos e um restaurante, com vista para o Canal Regent.
En utilisant la verrière et l’avant-cour existantes de la stationservice, un nouvel espace public a permis au lieu d’être utilisable pour de diverses activités culturelles, notamment des performances, des expositions, des conférences et des collaborations artistiques. Ces nouveaux programmes étaient clôturés par un écran en fibre de verre préfabriqué de 200 mètres de long, tout en courbe, qui correspondait aux caractéristiques existantes du site et offrait une protection et une sensation d’abri face aux artères très fréquentées qui l’entouraient.
A cobertura e o pátio pré-existentes, permitiram acolher e reajustar o novo programa, integrando atividades culturais, performances, exposições, conferências e colaborações artísticas neste espaço. Uma tela curvilínea e pré-fabricada de fibra de vidro, com 200m de comprimento, corresponde às características pré -existentes do local, e proporciona privacidade e protecção, ao movimento proveniente das estradas arteriais circundantes.
La qualité matérielle de l’écran translucide prenait des caractéristiques très différentes avec la lumière naturelle et artificielle et a fourni une nouvelle identité puissante à l’endroit, de jour comme de nuit. Le kiosque existant a été reconverti en salle à manger du restaurant. Après sa durée de vie de trois ans, le Filling Station a été désactivé pour faire place à un nouveau développement à usage mixte. L’héritage de ce projet d’une durée relativement courte a été de développer un point de continuité pour une partie de Londres qui a connu une transformation sociale, physique et économique à grande échelle. Sans effacer ni nier la structure ou l’usage antérieur du Filling Station, l’intervention a fait surgir de nouvelles idées à propos de comment habiter et participer à la vie de la ville et a fait allusion aux possibles utilisations futures de ce lieu.
A presença e o uso da tela translúcida como revestimento, permite ainda o desfrutar de diferentes tonalidades de luz, seja natural ou artificial, e confere uma nova e forte identidade ao local, quer de dia quer de noite. O quiosque existente foi adaptado e acolhe a sala de jantar do restaurante. Após três anos de uso, The Filling Station, foi demolida para dar lugar a um novo equipamento de uso misto. O legado deste projecto, de relativamente curto prazo, foi desenvolver um ponto de continuidade e ligação a uma área de Londres que atravessou transformações sociais, físicas e econômicas de grande escala. Sem apagar ou negar a estrutura ou uso anterior, a intervenção sugeriu formas alternativas de habitar e participar na cidade, insitando aos futuros usos neste espaço.

HIGHGATE HOUSE Highgate, London
EN
FR
Highgate House, which replaced an existing detached Edwardian house, creates a strong relationship between its context, its external form, and the composition of its internal spaces.
Highgate House, qui a remplacé une maison édouardienne individuelle existante, crée une relation forte entre son contexte, sa forme externe et la composition de ses espaces internes.
The treatment of thresholds between interior and exterior space varies greatly in scale and proportion according to each room’s physical and visual connection to the street, the gardens and Highgate Wood beyond.
Le traitement des seuils entre l’espace intérieur et l’espace extérieur varie considérablement en échelle et en proportion en fonction de la connexion physique et visuelle de chaque pièce à la rue, aux jardins et à la forêt de Highgate Wood.
The front elevation is divided into three tightly-packed, angled gables of varying heights, a proportional device to reference the surrounding vernacular architecture. The rear elevation contrasts in character with more generously proportioned windows and terraces linking inside and outside.
La façade avant de la maison est divisée en trois pignons en angle, serrés l’un contre l’autre et de différentes hauteurs, une astuce de proportion qui fait référence à l’architecture vernaculaire environnante. La façade arrière crée un contraste de caractères avec ses fenêtres et ses terrasses aux proportions plus grandes, reliant l’intérieur à l’extérieur.
The large central hall defines the centrepiece of the radiating arrangement of masses which relate in scale and grain to the neighbouring houses. The hall also reinforces a hierarchy of rooms within the house: open plan living spaces on the ground floor and more conventional cellular rooms on the upper levels. Its architecture is given physical consistency and presence throughout by its sculptural use of brick. This provides coherence with the surrounding detached houses, and retains the association of traditional craft embedded in the eclectic architecture of the North London suburb. Brick is complemented by only a few additional materials which strengthen the overall spatial character. Large slabs of silver granite create an external tectonic plinth that physically grounds the brick house into its gently sloping topography. The internal ground floor is covered entirely with white travertine, interrupted only by black travertine which lines a swimming pool and spa. To accentuate the scale of the central hall, the staircase and gallery are expressed as a large furniture installation crafted in black fumed-oak. The reflective sheen of the white polished plaster ceiling with its central circular oculus further reinforces the extraordinary vertical proportions of the room.
Le grand hall central définit la pièce maîtresse de la disposition en rayon des volumes, qui se rapproche des maisons voisines en termes d’échelle et de finitions. Le hall met également en évidence une hiérarchie des pièces au sein de la maison: des espaces de vie ouverts au rez-de-chaussée et des pièces fermées plus conventionnelles aux niveaux supérieurs. Son architecture reçoit sa cohérence physique et a une présence dans l’ensemble par l’utilisation sculpturale de la brique. Cela assure une cohérence avec les maisons individuelles environnantes et conserve son rapport à l’artisanat traditionnel intégré dans l’architecture éclectique de la banlieue du nord de Londres. La brique est complémentée par peu de matériaux supplémentaires, qui renforcent le caractère spatial général. De grandes dalles de granit argenté créent un socle tectonique externe qui enracine physiquement la maison en brique dans sa topographie en pente douce. Le rez-de-chaussée intérieur est entièrement recouvert de travertin blanc, interrompu uniquement par du travertin noir qui tapisse une piscine et un spa. Pour accentuer l’échelle du hall central, l’escalier et la galerie sont façonnés comme une grande installation de meubles, réalisée en chêne fumé noir. L’éclat du reflet du plafond en plâtre poli blanc avec son oculus circulaire central souligne encore les proportions verticales extraordinaires de la pièce.
PT
A Highgate House, surge no lugar de uma casa Eduardina pré-existente, e apresenta uma forte relação com o contexto na qual esta inserida, quer pela sua forma exterior, quer pela composição dos seus espaços interiores.
O tratamento dos limites entre o espaço interior e exterior varia de acordo com a escala, proporção, e relação física e visual estabelecida com a rua, jardins e o bosque Highgate. O alçado frontal é dividido em três volumes estreitos, cegos e angulares, de proporções e diferentes alturas, que remetem à arquitectura vernacular circundante. O alçado posterior contrasta com janelas de proporções mais generosas e terraços que estabelecem a relação entre o interior e o exterior. O grande espaço central define o encontro dos diferentes volumes, que se relacionam em escala com as casas vizinhas, e reforça a hierarquia dos espaços dentro da casa: áreas de estar abertas no piso térreo e espaços de carácter mais convencional e de uso privado nos pisos superiores. A consistência física e a presença da arquitectura como um todo, é conferida pelo uso escultórico de tijolos, que proporciona uma coerência e enquadramento com as casas circundantes, mantendo o carácter de artesanato tradicional presente na arquitectura eclética tão característica dos subúrbios do norte de Londres. O tijolo é associado a alguns materiais complementares que reforçam o seu carácter espacial geral. Grandes lajes de granito cinzento, constituem a base de suporte que estabelece a ligação fisica da casa, em tijolo, à topografia suavemente inclinada do terreno. O espaço interior do rés-do-chão é totalmente revestido a travertino, branco, interrompido apenas pelo uso de travertino preto, no revestimento da piscina e do spa. Para reforçar a escala do hall de entrada central, a escadaria e a galeria são desenvolvidas como uma grande instalação de mobiliário, trabalhado em carvalho escuro. Por sua vez, o brilho proveniente do revestimento em gesso polido do tecto, simultaneamente com a presença de uma claraboia central, reforçam as extraordinárias proporções verticais da sala.

Waddesdon Manor was built in 1874 as a French Renaissance-style chateau by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild to entertain and house his collection of fine art.
Waddesdon Manor a été construit en 1874 par le baron Ferdinand de Rothschild comme un château français de style Renaissance pour recevoir des gens et abriter sa collection d’art.
Waddesdon Manor foi construído em 1874 pelo Barão Ferdinand de Rothschild, como um château de estilo renascentista francês, para entreter e acolher a sua colecção de belas-artes.
The Manor sits within the grounds of Waddesdon Estate, a vast, manmade park landscape, punctuated by several ornamental architectural structures used for cultural attractions. Waddesdon Manor Estate constitutes one of the most popular stately home visitor attractions in the United Kingdom.
Le manoir se trouve dans l’enceinte du domaine de Waddesdon, un vaste parc artificiel, ponctué de plusieurs structures architecturales ornementales utilisées comme des attractions culturelles. Le Waddesdon Manor Estate constitue l’une des attractions de château touristique les plus populaires du Royaume-Uni.
The purpose of the new pavilion is to manage the enormous volume of visitors arriving to the Waddesdon Estate and to offer welcome, orientation and transport connections to the manor and around the park.
Le but du nouveau pavillon est de mieux gérer l’énorme volume de visiteurs qui arrivent au domaine de Waddesdon, ainsi que d’offrir un accueil, de l’orientation et des connexions de transport vers le manoir et à l’intérieur du parc.
The Manor insere-se no terreno de Waddesdon Estate, numa vasta paisagem de parque artificial, pontuada por diferentes estruturas arquitectónicas ornamentais usadas para atracções culturais. Waddesdon Manor Estate representa uma das atracções turísticas mais populares por entre os visitantes de casas senhoriais no Reino Unido.
The pavilion’s architectural identity is confirmed by a large, elemental steel canopy, generated from its primary purpose of providing shelter within the park landscape.
L’identité architecturale du pavillon est marquée par un grand auvent structurel en acier, remplissant l’objectif principal de fournir un abri dans l’enceinte du parc.
This form introduces a horizontal landmark quality when seen from all points of approach and creates a generous outdoor undercover space beneath framing views outwards to the estate and manor.
Ce volume améliore la qualité de repère horizontal de tous les points de vue et crée un grand espace couvert, à l’extérieur, encadrant la vue sur le domaine et le manoir.
In contrast to the canopy’s dark cantilevering form, a white-frosted glass and polycarbonate room is sheltered beneath, containing all of the visitor facilities.
En contraste avec la forme sombre en porte-à-faux de l’auvent, celui-ci abrite une salle en verre dépoli blanc et polycarbonate, contenant toutes les installations pour les visiteurs.
O objectivo do novo pavilhão é acolher o enorme volume de visitantes que chegam ao Waddesdon Estate e oferecer-lhes as boas-vindas, orientação e conexões de transporte para o Manor e o parque em redor. A identidade do pavilhão é conferida substancialmente pela grande cobertura de aço elementar, gerada a partir do seu objectivo principal: constituir um abrigo por entre a vasta paisagem do parque. Esta forma introduz um marco horizontal de todos os pontos de vista e garante um espaço exterior coberto, e vistas emolduradas sobre a propriedade e a casa senhorial. Em contraste com a forma escura do dossel em balanço, uma sala de vidro fosco e policarbonato destaca-se na zona inferior, acolhendo todas as instalações necessárias aos visitantes.

MEMBERS’ ROOM V&A, London
EN
The new Members’ Room converts a top-floor, top-lit gallery space in Aston Webb’s Grade I Listed 1909 wing of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Through a rich accumulation of details and design references – of tradition and invention – the intention has been to create a subtle but atmospheric backdrop to the Members’ Room, one where visitors feel welcome, comfortable and inspired. The atmosphere of the majestic gallery is preserved as an open-plan, daylight-filled room. The new architectural interventions accentuate the qualities of the original building, as well as providing visitor comfort with bespoke-designed furniture which creates smaller rooms within the whole. The original floor level of the gallery has been elevated to enable visitors to take in views from the existing windows to the Sackler Courtyard overlooking the new Sainsbury Gallery. Large mirror installations amplify the energy and activity within the room. They also create new perspectives from inside-tooutside, and to other levels within the museum via a light well which connects the existing galleries. The project includes a series of unique furniture pieces and products, designed exclusively for the Members’ Room. Substantial decorative marble tables harmonise with subtly coloured, luxurious leather fixed seating to form a spatial counterpoint to the more lightweight, loose furniture and create a mixture of formal and informal areas within the overall room. Original gallery light fittings have been re-interpreted in the design of a new fluted glass luminaries hanging in softly-glowing clusters overhead. The centrepiece of the room is a huge, monolithic terrazzo bar, whose material is a contemporary interpretation of the white marble entrance staircase and whose sculptural, sectional form is intended to rhyme with the mouldings of the ceiling above.

La nouvelle Salle des Membres convertit un espace de galerie illuminé par des verrières au dernier étage de l’aile d’Aston Webb de 1909 – classée Grade I – du Victoria & Albert Museum. Grâce à une riche accumulation de détails et de références de design – de tradition et d’invention – l’intention a été de créer une toile de fond subtile mais atmosphérique pour la Salle des Membres, où les visiteurs se sentent les bienvenus, à l’aise et inspirés.
PT
A nova sala de membros do Victoria & Albert Museum, ocupa o último piso do edifício, um espaço em galeria fortemente iluminado na ala de Aston Webb’s Grade I. Através de uma forte presença de detalhes e referências - de tradição e contemporaneidade - a intenção foi desenvolver e conferir uma atmosfera subtil ao espaço, que permita os seus usuários e visitantes uma sensação de inspiração, conforto e bem-estar.
L’atmosphère de la majestueuse galerie est préservée dans cette pièce ouverte et baignée de lumière du jour. Les nouvelles interventions architecturales accentuent les qualités du bâtiment d’origine et améliorent le confort des visiteurs avec un mobilier conçu sur mesure qui crée un effet de pièces plus petites dans un ensemble plus grand. Le niveau de la galerie a été surélevé pour permettre aux visiteurs d’admirer la vue depuis les fenêtres existantes sur la cour Sackler, qui donne sur la nouvelle galerie Sainsbury. Les grandes installations de miroirs amplifient l’énergie et l’activité dans la salle. Elles créent également de nouvelles perspectives de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur et vers d’autres niveaux du musée via un puits de lumière qui relie les galeries existantes.
A atmosfera majestosa da galeria é mantida e o espaço usado como uma grande sala aberta, profunda e intensamente iluminada naturalmente. As novas intervenções tiram partido e acentuam as qualidades naturais do edifício original, e proporcionam um especial conforto aos visitantes através do uso de móveis desenhados sob medida que criam múltiplos nichos, pequenos espaços de estar na grande sala. O piso original da galeria foi elevado para permitir que os visitantes tirem partido das vistas das janelas existentes sobre o Sackler e a nova Sainsbury Gallery. A instalação de grandes espelhos reforça e amplia a energia e a atividade dentro da sala e simultaneamente permite criar novas perspectivas de dentro para fora e entre os diferentes níveis do Museu por meio de um poço de luz, que estabelece uma ligação entre as galerias existentes.
Le projet comprend une série de meubles et de produits uniques, conçus exclusivement pour la Salle des Membres. De grandes tables en marbre décoratives sont en harmonie avec les bancs fixes recouverts d’un luxueux cuir subtilement coloré, pour former un contrepoint spatial aux meubles détachés plus légers et pour créer un mélange de zones formelles et informelles à l’intérieur de la salle. Les luminaires d’origine de la galerie ont été réinterprétés dans le design de nouveaux luminaires en verre cannelé, organisés en groupes qui forment des suspensions dégageant une lumière douce. La pièce centrale de la salle est un immense et monolithique bar en terrazzo, dont le matériau est une interprétation contemporaine de l’escalier d’entrée en marbre blanc et dont la forme sculpturale et modulaire vise à rimer avec les moulures du plafond.
Uma série de peças de mobiliário e produtos foram desenhados pelo escritório, Carmody Groarke, exclusivamente para a sala de membros do Museu. Mesas em mármore e bancos fixos em pele natural estabelecem um contraponto espacial aos móveis mais leves e soltos desenhados que complementam o espaço, e criam uma mistura de áreas formais e informais na sala de forma consistente e equilibrada. A iluminação original da galeria foi reinterpretada através do desenho e inserção de uma nova iluminaria de vidro canelado, estrategicamente pendurada de forma agrupada conferindo um brilho e uma luz suavemente difusa. A peça central da Sala é um grande e monolítico bar terrazzo, cujo material surge como consequente interpretação contemporânea da escadaria em mármore branco e cuja forma escultural e de secção, estabelece uma relação directa com as molduras do tecto.

HILL HOUSE BOX Helensburgh, Scotland
EN
The Hill House is one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s most significant works and a seminal part of early 20th century European architecture. Although the architecture was embedded in the tradition of Scottish Baronial, Mackintosh was also influenced by the contemporary technological advances of Modernism happening elsewhere in Europe. This unusual hybridisation of tradition and invention in the construction of the building has led to some fundamental long-term problems of prolonged water damage that require a major conservation project to help the house survive. Rather than incarcerate the house away from view whilst the 15 year restoration is undertaken, a more radical approach to active conservation has been taken. The project places a ‘big-box’ temporary museum on the site to contain and protect the Hill House as an ‘artefact’, whilst also maintaining access to the house for visitors. The new museum’s architectural identity is an abstracted garden pavilion whose walls are covered entirely with a stainless-steel chainmail mesh. This semi-permanent enclosure provides a basic ‘drying-room’ shelter to the original house whilst its rain-soaked existing construction is slowly repaired. This delicate enclosure also allows uninterrupted views, night-and-day, to-and-from the landscape to Mackintosh’s architectural icon. The cross-braced steel frame is designed to be grounded with minimum impact on the existing terraced garden landscape. Within this safe, sheltered construction working territory, the “museum” provides a remarkable visitor experience of the conservation in progress, achieved by an elevated walkway which loops around and over the Hill House at high level. The museum’s enclosure also contains visitor facilities in a timber standalone building.

La Hill House est l’une des œuvres les plus importantes de Charles Rennie Mackintosh et fait partie intégrante de l’architecture européenne du début du XXe siècle. Bien que l’architecture soit ancrée dans la tradition du style Scottish Baronial, Mackintosh a également été influencé par les progrès technologiques du modernisme qui se produisaient ailleurs en Europe à l’époque. Cette hybridation inhabituelle de la tradition et de l’invention dans la construction du bâtiment a conduit à des problèmes structurels à long terme de dégâts d’eau, qui nécessitaient d’un projet de conservation important pour pouvoir sauver le bâtiment.
The Hill House é uma das obras mais significativas de Charles Rennie Mackintosh e uma parte seminal da arquitectura europeia do início do século XX. Embora a arquitectura se insira na tradição Scottish Baronial, Mackintosh sofreu também uma forte influência por parte dos avanços tecnológicos contemporâneos do modernismo presente na altura, na Europa. Esta hibridação incomum de tradição e invenção na construção do edifício, desencadeou alguns problemas de fundo a longo prazo, sobretudo de danos causados pela água, que exigiram um grande projecto de conservação e recuperação que permitisse a sobrevivência da casa.
Plutôt que de cacher la maison, hors de vue, pendant sa restauration d’une durée de 15 ans, une approche plus radicale envers la restauration en cours a été adoptée. Le projet introduit le placement d’un musée temporaire en ‘grande boîte’ sur le site, contenant et protégeant la Hill House comme un ‘artefact’, tout en maintenant l’accès à la maison pour les visiteurs.
Em vez de encerrar a casa, durante o longo período, de pelo menos 15 anos de restauro, foi adoptada uma abordagem mais radical e incomum. O projecto prevê a instalação no local de uma grande caixa, ‘big-box’, enquanto museu temporário, que permita simultaneamente acolher e proteger a Hill House como um ‘artefacto’, e o continuar do acesso os visitantes.
L’identité architecturale du nouveau musée est un pavillon de jardin abstrait dont les murs sont entièrement recouverts d’une cotte de mailles en acier inoxydable. Cette enceinte semi-permanente fournit un abri simple, comme une ‘salle de séchage’ pour la maison d’origine pendant que le bâtiment existant, mouillé par la pluie, est lentement restauré. Cette enceinte délicate permet également des vues ininterrompues, de nuit et de jour, de et vers le paysage et l’emblème architectural de Mackintosh. Le cadre en acier croisé est conçu de façon à avoir un impact minimal sur le paysage du jardin en terrassess existant.
A identidade do novo museu é conferida por um pavilhão delicado e abstrato no jardim, cujas paredes são inteiramente cobertas por uma malha de aço inoxidável. Este espaço semipermanente proporciona um abrigo e “sala de secagem” à casa original enquanto a construção existente e é lentamente reparada, e permite uma vista ininterrupta, de noite e de dia, de e para a paisagem, do ícone arquitectónico de Mackintosh. A estrutura de aço cruzada usada garante um impacto mínimo na paisagem existente do jardim.
A l’intérieur de ce chantier de construction solide et à l’abri, le “musée” offre aux visiteurs une expérience remarquable du projet de conservation en cours, cette visite étant faite à partir d’une passerelle surélevée qui fait le tour et surmonte la Hill House d’un haut niveau. L’enceinte du musée contient également des installations pour les visiteurs dans un autre bâtiment, en bois.
Dentro deste território de trabalho e construção, seguro e protegido, o “museu” oferece uma experiência extraordinária ao visitante do estado de conservação em curso, através do percurso feito no passadiço superior que garante a circulação ao redor e sobre a Hill House. O recinto do museu disponibiliza ainda serviços de apoio aos visitantes num edifício autónomo construido para o efeito em madeira.
