Description

The Park

Service pavilions for gastronomy are placed between the various facilities, as well as relaxation areas shaded by trees, inviting you to linger. Staggered rows of trees are arranged along the street as wind protection. Two sculputures, the shapes of which are derived from the figure skating moves of Nikolai Alexandrovich Panin-Kolomenkin, are mounted on the roof of the two existing ticket boxes located along the arena´s main entrance axis.

The Pavilions

The concept behind the different pavlions placed around the different areas of the park, is that they will have a similar language to the main piece which is the Stadium.

It will follow the basic language and logics of it, which consist of a big roof and an exterior supporting structure, as a big cannopy, which inside of it, glass boxes are placed which will vary in program, according to the use needed.

The Opera

The building integrates itself confidently into the existing landscape and forms an ensamble with the adjacent memorial to which it is aligned. A graceful, wide-span, flying roof covers the opera house between Kapitans´ka Street to the south and the shore to the north. From the street side, the Opera House is accesible through a spacious entrance.

The heart of the project is located in the center of the building: an auditorium for 1100 visitors including a stage tower and back of house areas. The additional functions, such as offices, VIP rooms, and rehearsal rooms are arranged in a ringh-shaped structure called “The Clip”. The Clip embraces the Auditorium and is also functionally connected to it. The foyer area circumjacent to the auditorium provides a publicly accesible and generous open space that wraps around both sides of the auditorium to the restaurant and public terrace.

The public space is fully glazed to the outside and offers spectacular views of the 40m tall Soldier and Sailor Memorial and the Black Sea.

Description

Under the theme “Identity, Context and Placemaking in the Gulf”, the d3 Architecture Festival 2020 in parthnership with RIBA Gulf Chapter will celebrate architecture companies´ achivements and sustainable development from d3, Dubai, and the wider GCC region.

Over the last years, emerging architecture works have gradually become part of the region´s cultural fabric and social structure, finding the venues and institutiones to host and support them. The exhibition and online talks portray this diverse and complex new architectural landscape of the GCC.

A constellation of architectural works from the large-scale urban infrastructure to small landscape acupunture interventions. Architectural designs made by a mature generation of local and foreign designers with a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural context, which find their roots in new educational models in the region.

The festival goes beyond architecture as individual projects through a series of subjective maps, diagrams and paneles describing the different connections between stakeholders within the built environment.

A necessary visibility for an increasing number of public and private institutions, clients, and patrons interested in a distinctive approach to contemporary architecture, bringing an added value to the economy and society.

Description

The aim of this workshop is to explore the processes followed by the Sign Distance Field methodology, which will allow us to visualize the behaviour of the code written. This builds a workflow that brings efficiency in fabrication from the digital exploration.

What is Sign Distance Field (SDF)?

It is a mathematical representation of a shape in which each point in space is assigned a value that indidcates the shortest distance to the shape´s surface. Thte value is positive if the point is outside the shape, negative if inside, and zero if on the surface.

The concept chosen for exploration was the parabola, which we tried to maximize its potential by the use of this method, achieving interesting outcomes.

Explorations

In the heart of Tiran Island, where golden sands strech aendlessly into the embrace of the Red Sea, a beacon of wonder rises - Al-Ayn. This architectural marvel, inspired by the synergy of antiquity and futurism, stands as a testament to the union of the old-world charm of a lighthouse and the allure of a futuristic observation tower.

Upon this isle, where the desert and the ocen dance in harmony, Al-Ayn emerges, a sentinel of the lands and a guide for seafarers. Its primary function, deeply rooted in history, remains unchanged - a luminous guardian casting light across the waters, warding off vessels from the unseen perils of the shallows.

Yet, Al-Ayn is more than a guardian; it is an invitation to traverse the realms of beauty and imagination. Ascend its spiraling corrridors, wrapped in a gleaminf façade that catches the sun´s last embrace and holds it until the dawn of a new day.

At the summit, where the sky and the sea become one, several observation decks unfold. Here, visitors from every corner of the Earth can drink in parnoramic views of the boundless desert, a symphony of dunes beneath the eternal gaze of the sun. The serenirty of the desert meets the ceaseless motion of the ocean, a dance of opposites orchestrated by the Celestial Oasis.

Embedded with cutting-edge techonology, the tower illuminates the night sky. The once arid desert, now bathed in the glow of stars, becomes a canvas for dreams, inviting stargazers to lose themselves in the tapestry of the cosmos.

This exploratory project is not merly a structure; it is an experience, an experiment in redefining the prupose of a lighthouse. It beckons wanderrers to tis shores, promising not only safety for seafarers but a rendez-vous with sublime. In the interplay of tradition and innovation, Al-Ayn stands as a symbol of unity, a brdige between worlds, and an ode to the boundless wonders of our shared planet.

Three-Dimensional Articulation through Lines

This research test delves into the transformative potential of lines in architecture, specifically examining their role in articulating space three-dimensionally As part of an exploratory architectural test, the study aims to unravel the advantages of employing lines, focusing on their ability to provide visual guidance and enhance ease of movement within a given environment. The concise investigation seeks to uncvoer novel aplications that harness the inherent qualities of lines, contributing to an understanding of their spatial impact and utility.
