Stavanger Concert Hall BIG
Landscape Forma on Zaha Hadid
Here the landscape is treated as a system of steps that bring the pedestrian up into the space of the project without defining it through isola ng walls. The performance space exists as an object protruding from the smooth omni-pedestrian landscape around it. Simultaneously the landscape rises up to form the performance hall itself. The concourse below the landscape finds itself roofed by a dynamic series of planes with clerestories allowing light to enter in a way that blurs the boundary between inside and out.
Built for a garden fes val, this project dissolves into the surrounding landscape. The program includes an exhibi on hall, cafe, and environmental center; these elements live in a structure organized by a series of woven and tangled paths that allow pedestrians to cross over the top of the building itself, without breaking from the landscape.
Slussen BIG
1111 Lincoln Road Herzog & DeMeuron
Slussen is a central traďŹƒc node in Stockholm, connec ng roads, buses, railway, ferry, and pedestrian paths. The current public space is surrounded by traďŹƒc, and BIG proposes reversing this condi on. Here they wrap the connec ve program in public pedstrian space, reconnec ng people to the waterfront while allowing the infrastructural program to exist uninterrupted below.
A car park that is part of a larger development, 1111 Lincoln Road diverges from the typical model by expressing itself fully. Mulple heights between the levels and an elegant expression of a dynamic structure allow for the car park to be an a rac ve place. The user experience is enhanced throughout with the inclusion of a sculptural stair at the center which s ll aords panoramic views.
