Hotel 4*, Kolašin - Montenegro

+Bart team

*Research, Concept design, Detailed design

Hotel in an extremely “sensitive” location. The design concept derives from a detailed analysis of the current state of typical Kolašin architecture. The architecture of the city center can be explained through two cult buildings: the Memorial House and the Hotel “Bianca”. In this context, respecting the surrounding architecture and following the spirit of the place, I designed a city hotel.

*assumed materialization of the facade in wood and metal, constancy of openings. Input emphasis introduced as a gap.

*ribs are concrete structural elements in a form similar to the angle of the roof planes of the Memorial building.

Square

Hotel ,,Bianca"

Memorial House Museum Cultural center

Roof slope that becomes the facade on the 3rd floor is designed to respect monumentality of the Memorial House building. The slope of the building is at an angle of 51 °, and it is designed so that the lower edge is at a height of 10.90 m where the canopy of the existing adult greenery ends.

As the facade retracts at an angle, the space opens onto the street.

On these floors, the rooms are as such more intimate, protected from noise, with sloping windows that open more views of the sky and the mountain peaks in the hinterland give the impression of a mountain ambience, although the building is located in the city center.

The hotel is two-lane, placed on a pedestal that protrudes from the field (conditioned by the slope of the street).

The two tracts of the building face each other at the corner, where a gap is formed with the main entrance to the building.

Following the example of the existing treatment of the street facade in Kolašin, the building has a constant height with a uniform matrix of openings on the facade.

The irregular layout of the houses aims to form the appearance of suvomedja, blending in with the surroundings. Suvemođa, as a traditional masonry skill, was also used in certain parts of the buildings.

“Village“ roads lead to guvno, traditional Montenegrin place for gathering. *best view.

The architectural concept relies on the vernacular heritage represented in local communities. Facilities are fragmented to form a village in the rocks, abowe the forest. Houses are placed parallel to isohypses along the main pedestrian transversals, directing views and flows, and encouraging movement and interaction.

All the facilities of the complex are located 3 or more meters above the treetops so that at any time they have an unobstructed panoramic view of

The construction site is characterized by extremely steep (>35º) and rocky terrain that rises above a dense deciduous forest.

The accommodation units of the ethno village and the annex of the eco hotel are grouped and form a residential zone, each housing unit is oriented according to a characteristic visa.

The houses are made of local stone, and in the rocky environment they are blending in the location.

Each facility can be accessed by golf cart and footpath.

The project explores existential, temporal space framed by the arts. The project shall develop an environment for the creative exploration of film and sound (including music) where bot the built environment and the natural environment join together as a provocation of the film and sound on the temporal / experiential axis.

The collective institute environment shall promote research with sound, light (shadow), texture, movement and most important dimension of time.

view from the sea

/ Boundrries

People feel space. Its width, depth, mystery, simplicity, consistency, con tainment, color, brightness, isolation. Space all the lime affects us - ii intensifies, diminishes or directly provokes a certain mood, idea, emotion, concentration .. The ultimate architectural satisfaction lies in the prohibited parts of the architectural work in which the boundaries of the perverted and pro hibited are violated.

The rules, limitations, obstacles, prohibitions we set to ourselves by constructing them unconsciously on the basis of everyday life and the environment in which we are located and not allow freedom of the di versity that is valuable in today’s increasingly homogeneous society.

Even the glass wall is not transparent enough. The border is a ban, blockade (of perspective, voice, smell ..), imposed engagement. The border is the end, ii asks the question of what is inside and what is out side. It disables inside (introvert) to become extrovert.

But..

The boundary space is a system of abstract mental-spatial phenomena of unstable, non-permanent, semilogical, which differ and change de pending on the user of space and activity (events) in the space. The nature of this space depends on the intellect and sensibility of the ob server. It was formed on the basis of the accumulation of the observer’s vivid sensory impressions. This space is like an ecotone (a transitional zone between two adjacent ecosystems that contains the characteristics of both ecosystems), a place of increased energy and information flow, meetings, exchange of ideas, concentration of people, diversity of activity.

Here the question inside and outside is not clearly solved, the extension of the space clearly emphasizes their integration. It creates the outside out there and creates inside. Continuity. Fusion reduces the indepen dence of elements emphasizing the important elements of the whole. Other elements become transitional spaces between the main ones, create levels of openness (ie closeness), allow a different expression. Salvador Dali shows the infinite space, wherein the constant void he puts the events, which are secondary elements (the emptiness is the pri mary one), because in the passing of lime the present events will be erased.

Letting space to flow is made the necessary gap (enough space), ii re mains to erase the “mental” boundaries in order to place the necessary event in the emptiness. Support circulation.

This type of space is impossible to control (support) without specific ac tivities, which by mutual interaction and integration continue to expand the horizons by encouraging the development of new ideas (future).

/ Poetic images

We should look at architecture as a physical and sensual thing to dwell in, rather than the always changing, commercial image that allows a de-sensualization and de-eroticization of the human relation to reality in our culture. “Art is an origin because it is the beginning of truth,” Heidegger. The purpose of art is to set up a world for somebody to be. Art allows a person’s consciousness to expand. It is important to the poetic image because it gives a greater understanding to our reality— we learn from it. “If a work of architecture…create(s) a strong fundamental mood that is powerful enough to affect us, it may possess the qualities of a work of art.” Zumthor . Architecture is art because it makes space which is evoked, mediated and expressed through poetic images. These images are live experiences, scents, movements, sounds that are present in “the flesh of the world “ Pallasmaa. They are us. When poetic images (we) are presented through art, we begin to observe and study aspects of ourselves, with an emphasis on a particular element of interest to the observer.

These artistic gears of us also have their own lives and their stability (especially in architecture), transformed and developed through various associations of users or the audience. Contrary to the causal and rational logic, these images are more sensory and cause communication by emotion.

Than architecture is not just a discipline that articulates space and geometry, its influence is conditioned by the integration of various aspects and experiences in a single entity. Material reality is the cause of our psyche and fatness, and it is only part of a “poetic image” Pallasmaa.

In order better to explain the phenomenon of poetic image trough architecture (space), primarily as a reality in direct physical contact with users, but also as part of a poetic image, I will deal with architecture as an art and its causative-consequence connection with other arts, espetially Movie.

Symbolically, the installation takes the shape of the Bay of Kotor.

Interpretation of relief, mountains and coves of the bay.

Montenegro is the world 1st ecological country, as such it must spread awareness about nature conservation.

We tried to show in a symbolic way, man’s great impact on the pollution of the planet, and nature’s reaction to our actions.

Passes through the installation, enables interaction with visitors.

Interactive installation in the central part of the gallery is made by multiplication of a specially designed semitransparent element hanged from the ceiling, giving the inpression of floating in space. The elements (*cell) are equipped with sensors that responds to proximity and movements of visitors.

When a person approaches the cell, the sensor sends information to microprocessors in order to activate motor. The motor is pulling the end of the element tovards its center, and in that way changeing the shape of element.

The shape is wider and it stops the light to shine inside. Such an interaction between installation and people simbolically represents the influence and impact people have on the natural environment, which in the same tame destroys the quality of our lives.
