About

Ideology

Achievements

The trio consisting of Rafael, Carme, and Ramon, are architects who graduated from the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura del Vallès (ETSAV-UPC) in 1987.

They have been working together under the name RCR Arquitectes with their team and were established in 1988. Additionally, they each earned a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture. They have taught Architectural Projects in Vallès and Barcelona, as well as Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture in the Vallès. h

RCR Architects has long been recognized for its design approach that emphasizes the use of unique materials, their consideration of the site and surroundings, and creation experiences that engage the senses. The firm values the relationship between architecture and nature and frequently incorporates natural elements and materials into their designs. The aim of their work is to evoke emotions and foster a connection between people and their surroundings. The projects they create are distinguished by their sophistication, elegance, and incorporation of traditional building methods and materials in a creative, contemporary manner. j

The firm throughout the years has won several awards, competitions and other accomplishments. These achievements act as a symbol of their influence and contribution on the world of archietcture; some of them are the following: g The Pritzker Prize (2017), RIBA European Award (2010), Venice Biennale Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (2016), UIA Gold Medal (2015), National Architecture Prize of Spain (2005), FAD Architecture Prize (1999) n

What are the Muraba Apartments? h

Muraba Residences is the first large-scale residential de� velopment completed by RCR Arquitectes, it is architectural magnificence set on the eastern crescent of the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. “Muraba Residences Palm Jumeirah is set to be exactly as per the design promise; an exceptional living space on the East crescent of Palm Jumeirah with a focus on style and design,” said Ibrahim Al Ghurair, the founder of pioneering real estate developer Muraba. j

The term ‘muraba’ is derived from the Arabic word for watchtower, which is what heavily inspired the building’s form starting from the balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing frame the sea, the sky and trajectory of the sun. Like its name suggests, Muraba is a secure and intimate living space that embodies an ideal of essential beauty infused with serene elegance. k

The Muraba Residences seek to optimise the changing effects of daylight throughout the day, all while providing the privacy required by the occupants and those who call the apartments home. Muraba Residences have been de�signed ‘from the inside out’, with the resident in mind. j

Designing the Muraba Apartments

Adhearing to RCR’s designing ideologies, the building’s design responds directly to its context, with its orientation determined by the trajectory of the sun and the windows and balconies pointed towards the views. The building facades are oriented in a manner to make the most of the uninterrupted views accross the water alongside the skyline of the whole of Dubai. The building is aligned not only in its physical location, with the rising and the setting of the sun, but also with a specific sort of mindset that it applies to the spaces; a mindset that would be appreciative of more sophisticated architecture, as well as keen attention to detail. Creating spaces that are private, minimal and peaceful. h

The Muraba Residences consisted of over three thousand cast, tempered and laminated glass fins, mounted infront of the windows. The vertical fins over 3 metres long, and 27 mm thick. provide privacy from adjacent buildings, while affording a view over the sea in the other direction. Being located on the palm islands by the water, the wrinkled glass effect mimics the serenity of the surrounding waves in the site. j

JAPANESE JOINT DETAILS

Chidori Joint History The Chidori Joint was developed by Kengo Kuma in the 1990s, as part of his exploration of traditional Japanese architecture and techniques. Kuma was particularly interested in the joinery systems used in traditional Japanese timber construction, which he saw as a way of creating strong, resilient structures that were also aesthetically pleasing Kuma’s goal was to create a joint system that was both strong and flexible, allowing for natural movements in the building while also maintaining its structural integrity. The Chidori Joint is designed to accomplish this by using a series of angled cuts and overlapping pieces that interlock to create a secure connection Chidori is a Japanese word that refers to a type of bird called a plover. In traditional Japanese culture, the plover is associated with various meanings, such as the arrival of spring or good luck. In the context of the Chidori Joint, the name was chosen because the shape of the joint resembles the beak of a plover The joint was also initially inspired buy a popular japanese kids toy that also was called Chidori

Contemporary Design In modern times, Kengo Kuma has continued to use the Chidori Joint in many of his architectural designs, both in Japan and around the world. One notable example is the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center in Tokyo, which features a striking façade made up of interlocking wooden slats held together by Chidori Joints. The joint’s unique design allowed Kuma to create a building that appears to be a natural extension of its surroundings, with a visually striking façade that references traditional Japanese architecture Kuma has also used the Chidori Joint in other projects, such as the SunnyHills at Minami-Aoyama in Tokyo, which is a flagship store for a Japanese confectionery company. The building’s façade is made up of wooden slats held together with Chidori Joints, creating a lattice-like effect that allows natural light to filter into the interior Kengo Kuma’s incorporation of the Chidori Joint even in his modern designs highlights its continued relevance as a construction technique that blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary design principles

Art Exhibition Pavillion The design of the pavillion is in the form of an art gallery exhibition. The Chidori Joint’s unique characteristics make it an excellent choice for timber construction in general, and specifically for creating an art gallery pavilion.

The joint’s strength and flexibility are crucial in a pavilion’s construction, as it needs to withstand external forces while also accommodating natural movements caused by wind, earthquakes, and other factors. Additionally, the joint’s aesthetic appeal adds a unique and recognizable character to the pavilion, enhancing its overall design. Art is highly regarded in Japan and plays an essential role in the country’s cultural identity. The appreciation of art in Japan dates back centuries and is evident in the many museums, galleries, and cultural institutions dedicated to preserving and promoting the country’s artistic heritage. By creating an art gallery pavilion, you contribute to this legacy and provide a space for artists to showcase their work and for visitors to experience and appreciate the beauty and power of art
