schönhauser allee

Situated in Berlin Prenzlauerberg, one of the most exciting district in Berlin as since the last 10 years the area have a massive gentrification which makes every corner of the district, from Bernauerstrasse to Prenzlauer allee, as well as along Schönehauser Allee spotted a lot of multinational restaurant, cafe and bars. The building where the penthouse will stand is a beautiful Wilhelminian style building from 1924. The site of the penthouse has a total area of 344.60 square meters which has not developed or inhabited for years now.

By making a contrast atmosphere with the existing building whether still reusing the some existing elements become the main approach of the penthouse development. The client is interested to create a modern space which combining a sustainable material with high technology elements. The penthouse is divided into 2 story house and the roof garden on the top.

The lower level has half of the total area of the upper level, has some more public amenities such as living room, kitchen and a wine room. The upper level which include the whole area of the top of the existing building, has more private function such as bedrooms, a gallery and working space.

On this project, I am working from the phase LPH 2 to LPH 5 as an intern who helped Senior Architect to produce the 3D model, physical model, collages for client’s presentation, as well as design development drawings.

THE HIDDEN TREASURE A mix-use hospitality in the heart of Cagliari, Italy

design studio project with Leoni Fabrizio team member : Ruoyu He, Maria Petri Cagliari is a city filled with hidden - and unexploited - treasures.

It’s potential is as overwhelming as it is diverse - in terms of nature, landform, historical and cultural heritage. The town is big and at first glance it is supposed to be also vivid and full of possible activities but after a while it becomes clear that it is lacking in a program.

The existence of vacant plots is becoming less picturesque giving way to an increasing feel of abandonment as there is nothing to find behind the ruined wall. The urban site was a challenge not only due to the very defined geological position but also to the dense surrounding. In our project we decided to embrace the atmosphere the city is emanating and its geology by using the visual and spatial experience that could be felt there. First is connected to the density: the vertical slit that creates a physical and visual boundary, allowing visitors to see a framed view and giving the mysterious feel of discovery. Secondly, we worked with the idea of the massive wall. It is both covering and enticing, giving the visual attraction but only fragmentarily - as something is being seen but not experienced, the wall plays the role of the curtain that promises a performance. We also expanded the geological opportunity, using the natural difference of levels as a platform linking the two areas, not as an obstacle. Finally, we intended to emphasise the spatial contrary between the narrow street and open piazza, by using the language of the corridor and staging it opposite to the spacious area. The goal of the project is to enrich the existing site by drawing inspiration from the town’s aura.

MACHIACINI PUBLIC LIVING Intervention on leftover space for public using in Milan, Italy

an urban simulation studio with Rossella Salerno team member : Apriani Sarashayu

DAYLIGHT CONDITION

In any city there are smalls livers and chunks of awkward spaces in between buildings, occupying edge conditions, not large enough to warrant many forms of traditional use which can be termed residual (Marika Kobell: Retro fill, MIT). These small livers and chunks later become an abandoned space because people or the city government doesn’t know what to do with these spaces as its form, location or dimension are unusual for public space. This is the issue which want to be analyzed with a small simulation to understand a possibility to use the space for public. The simulation was initiated by searching a potential location which is quite central or popular in the city which unfortunately has these residual space.

Machiacini district Milano was selected to become the potential district for the simulation, as the area is quite strategic because it is only 14 minutes to central station of Milan.

The mixed between residential and office also old factory building create tension in between, which make this area has several leftover land in between function.

Furthermore, the simulation has more focus on the space in the back of a warehouse at Via Livigno Milano. The space quite is located in the heart of dwellings neighborhood and not so far from the business district and the other commerical area. Unfortunately, as the space is located in quite unidentified area for public and somehow hidden, making the space in unused and leftover.

Later, the analysis of the site was taken to understand the weakness and strong point of the area. It is found that the location which somehow hidden in the side of a storage house building. On the intersection point of the traffic light, people can’t see directly the space, but when we across the street and walk passing after the storage house, then we suddenly found the leftover space. The second weak point is the fence which become the physical boundary between public sidewalk and the leftover space. People are not willing to trespass the area as somehow the space seems for private purpose but people can see them that it is abandoned by the landlord. Nevertheless, this space is still have an opportunity to recover, as the neighborhood is really multiculture, surrounded by commercial amenities and integrated with art scene.

SECURITY enough illumination, lighting act as both of security system and part of art point

VARIOUS ACTIVITY small but compact public furniture with several option of activity

IDENTITY continuing what have already there: graffiti, creative community

VISIBILITY sense of transparancy in the barrier: maximalized big exposure on the street, safety reasons: eyes on the street PROTECTION from noise, give senses of privacy: both vegetation & barrier

PERMEABILITY fluid border between pedestrian way and inside fences make an in between space for transition to enter core activity.

ACTIVE INTERACTION more fluid intervention than rigid connection between inside barrier and pedestrian who passed the street

NIGHTLIFE CONDITION

final shape is happened because of function and active interraction between inside & outside

THE PUBLIC ‘LIVING ROOM’

The idea of ‘living room’ comes up as, the function of the living room itself is to gather family to unite for particular activities, such as watching movies, having a drink together or just small talks interpersonal of the member. This idea is applied to this leftover space, as its potention to gather people from all over the neighborhood for a communal activities. As the location quite famous with its artistic ambience, so mostly the programme which are applied also has a relation with art scene.

ENRICHING THE INTERSECTION

In the recent condition, this intersection only showing a hidden boring leftover space without any identity. By the new intervention, it is changing the face of the intersection of the street by a curious hidden garden in the between the massive walls.

THE MOVIE NIGHT

While in the daylight the space is mostly used for the public for art gallery or as a platform to sit and enjoying Milan during the daylight, in the evening hours, the place is transformed into an outdoor public cinema. This activity making the space also have an interaction on night life for the area.

NIGHTLIFE ACTIVATION

The previous condition where this space are tottaly dark and people are not willing to get in touch with this leftover space as there was no life inside this enclose space. The idea for the evening exhibition and movie night has adapted to regenerate the space.

SA’AT SQUARE METRO STATION

A development of new metro station in Tabriz, Iran in collaboration with studio baukuh supervisor : Pier Paolo Tamburelli

The new interior design of Sa’at square metro station is extremely simple.

The transformation does not involve structural interventions. The existing building(s) are kept as they are, with the transformation limited to a new cladding for the entrances and the interior spaces. As a consequence of the limited scope of the architectural transformations, the graphic design of Sa’at metro station becomes fundamental. As in the case of Line 1 (1964) of the Milan metro, where Franco Albini could not really intervene on the “architecture” of the stations (they stations, as in the case of Sa’at station, were already built), and limited his project to the definition of a few elements of design (the paneling, the benches, the handrail) and to a bold and sophisticated graphic design (developed by Bob Noorda and Massimo Vignelli), we propose to accept the existing configuration of the Sa’at station and just intervene with minor modifications of the cladding and a new graphic design. This simple strategy of intervention could be applied also to other spaces, such as the underground connection with the station of metro line 3 and in case also to other metro stations.

The underground levels are defined through a new system of panels decorating the main spaces. The paneling is made of simple polycarbonate panels. The panels are red and contain white vegetal motives deriving from Tabriz traditional rugs. The panels are lit with LED backlighting. The panels highlight one large regular space at each level while all other service spaces are simply cladded with tiles. The panels reach 2.40 m and at their top is a slim green band containing all information needed to direct the flows of people. The ceiling and the installations above 2.40 m are made disappear (re-using a very practical little trick already employed by Albini) by painting them in a very dark grey. Large, white circular lamps lighten the underground spaces. At the lowest level thinner low-consumption lamps cover the tracts of the metro tunnels corresponding to the stations and help creating a suspended atmosphere for the lower level.

The panels decorated with vegetal motives reappear on the outside of the metro entrances, as signs marking the presence of the new station inside the city. The north-west and south-east entrances are one-level independent pavilions, with a high façade inserted in the city fabric. The façade is just a screen, considerably higher than the small buildings behind.

The entrances north and north east emerging in the middle of the empty plot north of the square are enclosed in a new walled garden, that occupies the entire plot. Between the two entrances a large, square-plan, open-air room (41 x 41 m) is defined by a 9,6 m high panelled wall. The paved area (the square) corresponds to the lower levels of the metro station; the remaining part of the plot, where soils can be permeable, is entirely occupied by a garden. The square among the two entrances emerges in the city as a closed volume, confronting the volume of the City Hall on the opposite side of the square and so restoring the equilibrium of Sa’at square. Indeed the public space badly misses the presence of the buildings that once occupied its northern side. The new metro station, although not a real “building”, operates in the city as a building, so providing the urban pressure that is necessary for Sa’at square to re-establish its urban logic. Inside, the square will be a quiet environment where to rest listening to the sound of a fountain and, in special occasions, will operate as a stage for public events (performances, ballets, theatre pieces, ta’zieh, concerts).

MISTER SUNDAY

A mix-used building in Jakarta, Indonesia design studio project with Willis Kusuma Architects team member : Azhari Pasha, Leo Einstein project’s period : 2011 - 2018 status : Built

A mixed-use building designed as a response for the client needs to provide a place to work, eat and live. The site is located in the area of Southern part of Jakarta, where it is popular for its vibrancy and its expatriate’s neighborhood. The site itself has a long and narrow proportion with the accessibility only of the front part of the house and the building surrounded has 2-3 story height. On this project, I am working as Junior Architect who helped Project Architect to produce the 3D model, collages, pre-liminary drawings as well as design development. The challenge of this project was about how to maximize the productive opportunity for such a narrow and long space, as this building needed to be productive as a place to work (a graphic design studio), a place where people can eat and hang out (Mister Sunday Cafe and Bar) as well as the place where people can live (the home of the owner of the business).

CIKAJANG HOUSE

Guru Mughni House is a private residence project which is located in Guru Mughni Street, South Jakarta. The area is surrounded by Mega Kuningan Business District and located on Professor Doctor Satrio Street, one of the most vibrant and busiest streets in Jakarta today.

The house appears as a wide wood box floating on massive walls. The wide wood box stands out as the upper level of the house whilst the massive walls cover the lower level area of the house. The wood box is wrapped in retractable screens of slender wooden slats which serve as a backdrop for the vegetation’s shadows during the day, while illuminating it at night to give hints to the activity inside. Furthermore, because of the lack of available space for the garden and the family’s desire to spend time outside the house, the roof garden was an idea that resulted.

On this project, I am working as Junior Architect who helped Project Architect to produce the 3D model, collages, pre-liminary drawings as well as design development drawings.

To combat the effects of urban decay, we propose to take advantage of the existing nearby facilities and amenities and incorporate them into our project, in addition to creating new public facilities including: a park; a thermal bath attraction, a restaurant and bar, an open-air night time cinema and a creative workspace. 120 new residential units will also be constructed, providing accommodation for families, students, the elderly, and professional singles and couples. The arrangement of these units is designed in such a way as to create a series of courtyards and open spaces, each with a specifically designed character and purpose. These elements, along with varying degrees of privacy and social interaction between residents and the public are intended to generate a lively village community vibe, injecting much need vitality into the area.

NEW YORK VERTICAL CITY : INSERTING CHAOS

A competition project for a new mixed use tower in Hell’s Kitchen New York City, USA Design Team : Angga Rosiawan, Apriani Kurnia Sarashayu “There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.”

(Jane Jacobs, The death and life of American Cities)

In a city where the intensity prevails, we propose the creation of a new vertical space that shelters mixed uses. ARCHmedium proposes a competition for the creation of a large hybrid building that generates quality work spaces, temporary housing, cultural and leisure spaces in New York City. The NYVC aims to create quality work spaces where people can relax and have fun but also be productive. A new place where it is possible to combine working life with personal life, through day care centers, cafeterias and leisure areas.

In addition to traditional offices, the building will contain coworking spaces and a start-up incubator. The tower will have a hotel space for visitors, exhibition areas, meeting places and a restaurant and bar open to the city. We propose a tower for the city of the 21st century where urban life is condense and integrated into the plot of public spaces in New York. A small vertical city inside the city that never sleeps.

New York is a city where each neighborhood has its character and its particular history. The site chosen for the NYVC competition is located in the neighborhood of Hell´s Kitchen. Hell’s Kitchen is an enclave of intensity and civic life where a large number of restaurants, shops and bars are located. In addition to being famous for its culinary activity, Hell´s Kitchen is the neighborhood where the vast majority of new real estate developments are being built. In its streets you can see projects of the most prestigious architecture studios in the world. Only two blocks away is the exemplary Hearst Tower by Norman Foster and a few blocks more is the W57th Tower by the Danish studio BIG. The plot of the competition is located in an exceptional corner, in the intersection of 9th Avenue and W54th Street. With 42m long and 45m wide the chosen site for the NYVC competition is located in downtown Manhattan and close to Times Square, Penn Station and Central Park. It is very well connected with the subway station, public transport and the citi bikes of New York. It is also close to the tunnel that connects NYC with New Jersey and to the New York Passenger Ship Terminal.

The NYVC tower presumes to be a new vertical icon in the city of New York therefore it should respond to the skyline of New York City. At the same time, it should be a natural continuity of the street, accordingly, a great hall should welcome the visitors as a continuity of the public spaces of the city. Through its cultural program, the tower is established as a point of access to culture and invites citizens to use it. The cultural spaces are multi-purpose rooms where art is exhibited. They can be three rooms of 300m2 or a great room of 900m2. In the grand Hall of NYVC are the reception areas for the offices and the hotel. The total surface of the competition is 39.000m2. In addition to complying with the program, the vertical communication cores, the necessary circulations and two services for each plant should be included. You can add or reduce the surfaces by 10% depending on the will of each project. The surfaces of the rooms can be used in complete or subdivided into as many rooms as considered appropriate. The precise resolution of the surfaces enunciated in the program will not be given exhaustive attention, but rather to the relation of the program with the city. The competition does not establish height limits.

New York Grid Trying to make an intervention at pedestrian level by opening the ground floor. The parameter of the grid is still defined by the upper part of tower and the podium. The rigidness of new york grid and facade is tweaking by dissordernes of massing who are kind of growing from the upper podium.

Instead of 1 single tower, The upper podium part has several masses with different proportion the idea to enrich skyline of this area. The leisure mass which contains bar/club is facing the main street as a display.

Hotel / temporer residential Office Leisure center & club Start up/ Co-working/communal decking Cultural spaces Restaurant / cafe / kiosk Hall of NYC as public space

Mixed Use Function Program at the lower floor is designed for public use program which needs temporal space for enlarging the program to outdoor space/street, for example: cafetaria, food court,cultural spaces. The Hall of NYC is the ground floor platform which continuous with pedestrian walk. The material of hall is different but trying to mimicking the material character of pedestrian, The idea is to insert the vibe of hell’s kitchen inside the ground floor platform.

Serial of Brick Boxes The boxes extruded from the structure to create a serial of activities that filled all the boxes which covered the bricks to blend with the surrounding. The extruded boxes using a different height to create the ‘chaos’ and richness of visual from the street level.

The city inside the city The building works as the city itself for its inhabitants as all the activities both on daylight and nightlight, works in a single building, creating more complex system and ‘chaos’ in the city that never sleeps.

THE SITE THEATRE

A competition project for a new cultural destination and open-air performances in Baleal, Portugal “Honorable Mention�

Project team : Apriani Sarashayu

The mind swells out to fill the entire landscape, becoming so diffuse in the process that one loses the ability to keep it fastened to the physical self we see what a little speck we are in the universe, so vulnerable, insignificant, You are absorbed into the horizon, which is at its most invisible, elusive, perfect blend of sky and sea

The idea is about the journey to reach the amphitheatre, where we can see wider perspective. The building from faraway is perceived as one slight white stripes. All the facilities are hidden behind the white stripe. Once we reached the site, there is a path which is designed as blurring as it can be, blending with existing rock.

We still keep the ruins as part of the designed site. After restaurant and ticketing, the visitor will go through a -long-ramp-stripes . In this stripes our perspective only see one point perspective in front us.

As the ramp goes up, our perspective gradually changing, wider than before. In the end of path we can see amphiteater with horizon and ruins as a background.

In other terms, it is a metaphor of turn off ourselves from outside world as a preparation before seeing the bigger vista, to lose our self into nature, into horizon.

LANDSCAPE IN MOTION

A development for improvement of Po riverside at Piacenza, Italy summer school project in Open City Workshop Piacenza 2016

OC OPEN CITY International Summer School 7th edition focused on the landscape design and its own countless implications. Piacenza is a topical case-study because of its unique condition of liminal city facing the main Italian river, characterized by the overlapping and interaction of different forms of landscapes: agricultural, productive, urban.

It’s the Po riverside - and the buffer zone dividing the city and its own infrastructures from the water - the specific topic of 2016 workshop and the background of the series of lectures supporting it. During the times of the urban development, these areas were used to be intended just as a natural threaten. They were progressively occupied by a dense sequence of functions and infrastructures, also industrial and productive ones, that has built by one side a barrier - both physical and virtual - between the city and the river. By the other side, they have stressed a process of marginalization. It’s just at the end of the XX century, also based on similar international experiences, that the enormous potentialities of these water-sides started to be seen, not just in relation with the ecological value of the river, but also interpreting them as complementary spaces for the city itself. They can be designed as city’s new limits, they can help to improve the city’s environmental quality, they can establish new links with other territories at a larger scale, giving the possibility to new urban uses and to alternative forms of socialization.

The Po coast-line is characterized by a strong variability and dynamism; this condition permeates elements, factors and processes and defines its priceless ecological value. The coast-line we can look at is the result of the interaction among the mobile nature of water flows and the banks containing it. It comes from multiple geological processes and from the level of the water, but it’s also impacted by human activities which have modified land-water points of contact. From this process of continuous erosion and construction, an irregular and changing limit arises. At the same time its strategic position - not far from the city and from main national transportation lines - makes this river-front as the ideal space for interchange.

This mass of conditions lets us to intend the design territory as a site of invaluable value for the contemporary society, in step with historical processes generating it and endlessly transforming it. Here it’s possible to establish different and alternative activities, each with a substantial impact on the physical and spatial level: location for leisure time and sport, site for a sustainable and innovative agricultural production, gate not just of Piacenza but of the whole Pianura Padana, hub of flows along the Po River.

According to these concepts, the workshop’s goal is a complex, jointed and contemporary vision where the quality of regenerated complementary landscapes gives origin to a sequence of spaces able to intend the river as their cultural and physical reference.

THE FILAMENT

Retreat center in Cagliari, Italy design studio project with Leoni Fabrizio team member : Apriani Sarashayu, Karol Gwiazdowski

Located on Sardegna island, the southern part of Italy, the site is composed by 3 main urban fabric : the agricultural part, the marshland and the coastline. The area, which is called Medau Su Crane, is an abandoned salt production site, which is now on process converted into an agritourism because of it also close to the nature park. ‘Filament’ was came up as an idea because it is consider that the most important thing when dealing with a big area is how to handle the process pieces by pieces. Why Filament? The idea is working on one section which can create a domino effect for its surrounding and become a stimulus for developing the next development process. So it works like a filament which keeps its continuity to create a new network.

For the big framework, a retreat center had chosen because they will have a different range of facilities. The important issue of this development is the access. The first step is to connect the coastline to the saline area. The continuous walking and bicycle bridge beside a park on the street level was created to allow more footprints. In this transition area, we designed the private resort and the festival area for big events. The second step is to connect the public island to the saline area and the city. We created a bridge for easier access and farming community. The third step is to connect farm part to land part and saline area; it was decided to continue the bridge which is going down to the island. The last step, is to connect the land and the lagoon. Here, we tried to make as more lighter intervention by adding some wooden deck which is extended to the water, so people can be more closer to the lagoon.

MALECON 2085

A competition project of revitalization for the waterfront in Havana, Cuba “Honorable Mention” Project team : Lena Wimmer, Basel Ahmad

In 2085, Cuba will look different from space. In fact, it will have gained land extending its territory by one third into the Caribbean Sea. 8000 new islands will colonize the coastal region which will turn into a floating layer of biodiversity - a new microclimate and living space which can provide valuable sanctuaries for endangered wildlife and plant species.

Thanks to a continuous dam around these islands it will be possible to regulate i.e. reduce the water level. The dam, with a total length of 7000 km will, hereby, protect the island from floods and function as a giant hydroelectric power plant. It will, not only, satisfy by far the energy supply of Cuba but turn the island nation, by 2045, into a local export champion who supplies renewable energy to Jamaica, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands as well as to the South of the United States of America.

Havana will be enriched by a new quarter: the Malecon Archipelago which is composed of more than 600 islets. These are created by the reclaiming of land that occurs every day thanks to the dam and its tidal turbines. Also, the Malecon itself, a broad esplanade which stretches along the coast of the city, will go through a significant change: It will feature an 8 km long linear building made of a white concrete colonnade which is covered by a solid yet irregular, thick roof. The wide columns provide a counterpoint to the vast space around them and create a forest like experience throughout the changing position of the columns. From the colonnade, people will be tempted to proceed their walk through the Islands by taking one of many dozens of bridges, by taking a water taxi or simply jumping inside the water. The newly created permeable space marks the transition between the city and the new quarter and offers a place for the spontaneous encounter but also manifold cultural events – a red carpet for citizens and visitors which functions as a public living room of Havana.

THE PROPOSAL It might look like a simple line in the shimmering blue ocean but it is the first landgaining-energy-producing dam which uses tidal energy at this scale. Inspired by Dutch engineering technology, we developed a new system which employs water turbines that are already in use in Ireland and will be soon implemented in tidal rich areas around the world. Tidal turbines are acting like underwater windmills made of constantly spinning rotors that feed the electricity-producing generators. Two turbines installed every 100 meters at the ground of the dam will produce 1,5 GWh (per month). The potential of the dam is enormous. It becomes especially evident in comparison to the directives of the current president of Cuba, who challenges Cuban household not to use more than 100KWh in one month! Only one kilometer of this new high-efficiency turbine system will create 30 GW per hour that is 3 000 000 000 W. This amount covers by far the energy demand of households in Havana for an entire year. Given the abundance of energy, Cuba is offered a whole new world in which new ideas, products and therefore new industries are able to emerge, all based on renewable, clean, reliable energy.

Cuba could become one of the richest communist countries in the world.

The Grosvenor´s Thirtytwo Fountain Square

International call for ideas to re-imagine London’s Grosvenor Square launched by Grosvenor Britain & Ireland Project team : Lena Wimmer, Erica Venturini, Basel Ahmad We all long sometimes for beauty, for peace and timelessness.

But what is beauty?

What is peace and timelessness?

We firmly believe that we have achieved a momentum in history in which we should reconsider our values in order to remember the origins of them. Values that are not lost, but forgotten.

When we talk about urban planning, we have to understand the society of tomorrow. Like Sir Richard Grosvenor in 1710 did, when he began to think about the value of a public square. This was a moment of construction boom in London, new houses were built overnight and the city was growing in all directions. People from all over the country started to settle within the borders of London and to expand them continuously. Reserving such a large space in the centre of the city is testament to boldness and great vision. A vision of a new London, a cosmopolitan, a metropolis that will grow and change over the centuries yet to come. In order to resist the future many transformations, he had to make a gesture large enough that even if society, infrastructure and programs changed - such a large square and with its unmistakable form of oval, still would have been powerful enough will be to keep its main identity.

Until the Second World War, the power of the oval was maintained and the square was famous in the city for its beauty, serenity and yes, timelessness...

But World War II not only changed the world, but also turned the nonpolitical, late Renaissance and Baroque-inspired Grosvenor Square into a political legacy.

Full of new monuments and statues, the tranquillity was suddenly replaced by political statements and the enclosed, lovingly cared park, with its traditional English garden architecture and some seasonal changing flowers, paved axes, should now radiate sincerity and power.

Since then, the square has slowly faded and until today disappeared in the common memory of the London citizens as a garden. Now it is no longer the place to enjoy the peaceful beauty of nature on a Sunday afternoon, to sit in the quiet, oval garden and read the newspaper. It became a place of politics and demonstration of security and power. March 18, 1968 immediately shows what this place has become - Britain’s largest anti-Vietnam demonstration was in fact on Grosvenor Square.

The original idea of a non-political space in the midst of the city, so that citizens could freely enjoy nature meander through humanistic values, was replaced and transformed into a symbolized political placeholder that made it possible to demonstrate against it.

What can we learn tod a y when we look back to the beginning of Grosvenor Square´s History? What were the key points and values that Sir Richard Grosvenor took to establish one of England’s most beloved parks over several centuries?

Looking back at the years 1720-1885, we would like to talk about important decisions that we can learn from tomorrow.

1. The size and relationship of the space to the environment 2. The oval shape 3. Focusing on a single function Very soon, in the first drawings, Renaissance-like geometric elements gave rise to the oval form of today’s square, so the Baroque became the key element in the design process.

1. The size and relation of the place to the environment The huge dimension makes it one of the largest squares in London. Such an amount of free undeveloped space for a park, rather than reserving new property, is still of great importance today.

With the advent of the Baroque one dared more and more to build large squares within a city. It began to connect the square with the surrounding architecture and to a total work of art to be painted.

Through the archives, one can see how the initially strong geometrical axes of park design gradually change to more organic and softer forms. Thus, the transition from the Baroque Garden to the English Garden, in which the landscape as naturally comes to light, becomes clear. But what remains continuous is the outer shape, the dimensions and the ratio and the distances of the square to the surrounding building remains the same. It is only later that more radical measures are taken and space and its external borders are widened, thereby losing its concentration and presence within the environment. The well-proportioned ratio of the distances to the surrounding houses and the square in the middle, which was created in the Baroque, wavers.

Therefore, we suggest that we, once again, use the exact dimensions of the square as in the 18th century. We do not further reduce or increase the amount of space, since the ratio to surrounding buildings would otherwise no longer fit.

2. The oval shape The oval shape of the square comes from the stylistic elements of Italian Baroque architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Baroque, as a further development of the Renaissance and thus the attempt to blur the boundaries of art, now trying to merge architecture, art, urban planning and landscape architecture in a single project to realize a Gesamtkunstwerk -a complete work of art.

The oval is in our opinion such a defining style element that we want to pick it up again with its characteristic geometrical-constructed form from 1725.

Encompassed in the square with enough space on all four sides of the street so that it is recognizable as a shape, it will flash out of the square like a Jewel.

3. A single function Nowadays, too often, we tend to overlap too many functions. Airports, train stations and even museums become multi-layered mazes of shopping malls, where the original idea of travel or of culture fades through the permanent presence of commerce.

Again, we can learn from Sir Richard Grosvenor. He focuses on a single function.

The oval garden park. No cafes, no kiosks, nothing but pure concentration on a single function. This attempt makes this one feature so much stronger and visitors expect nothing else from it. On the contrary, you will be happy to know that you have peace and tranquillity here again; left alone with nature you can withdraw from everyday life for a moment. We can see that the decision to reserve such an amount of free space for a single, non-commercial use is of great importance to the identity of the entire neighborhood. It will be the luxury of the next generations to reduce themselves to essentials.
