Brief: Rennovation and revitalisation of an old train station area.

Appproach: -contradictions -contextual -analytical on urban scale

Situation

Around an abondened train station between an old industrial area and a single family house neighbourhood, ths site struggles to attract attention.

Sliced by train tracks and roads that causes above the average traffic, circulation is highly disturbed and not handicap friendly.

Nonetheless, it has a huge embedded potential with adjacent access to the Stromovka park, urban scale future developpement around the industial area up in the north and ever improving bus circulation.

It is a place that people seem to hold dear and cherrish nice memories, it has a caracter..

Nowdays the frequenters of the site only being passers-by heading for the park or residents waiting for transportation, the sites asks for a layered treatment to create future attraction...

Location

Material Palette The existing materials are translated into new elements or just simply reused to keep the memory of the site intact.

Stiching the Site Geographically an old hill, through out the history it has been chopped up into pieces to grant transportation means and exportation needs of the nearby abondened paper mill.

The main focus of this project is reconnect the different pieces of the site together to ensure a reliable and divers circualtion system for the future.

More cuts to repair man-made cuts In oreder to ensure proper connections, the langauge that was once used to fragment the site is now reapplied, using irony as a tool to respect the memoire of the site.

Connections different zones and leves are connected by this light structure that serves as guidance.

Bridge Construction The bridge is made from a series of aluminium mesh panels fixed to I-beams running along eash end, these in turn lie on metal poles and existing structure.

Balusters are welded on the top flanges and attached together with a steel mesh.

Through rythm analysis the site reveals its hidden lines, it is partitioned in to piece marked by several ribs running along a spine.

Program Scheme The site works as a campus for performative arts

Language The new massings respect the existing by utilizing the dominant axisis embedded witthin the site to divide the old and the new.

This hidden line that acts as a spine is translated into a bridge attaching the individual ribs to furthermore enhance the circulation on the site.

Craft Ateliers

Dance Hall

Main Stage

These historically protected buildings are refurbished and commissioned as an outpost for ironmongery and carpentry workshops.

The old villa is rennovated and extended to be turned into a proper rehersal space for dancers.

The old transformer station is extended by a stage to host concerts, mainly oriented for , old structure now acts as the foyer and waiting area.

These artist have all of the site as their playground to make interventions and installations.

The villa extends its interior by doubling its volume while inclining outwards to minimise the impact to the surroundings.

Its volumetry is the same as the interior of a typical stage desgin.

Theatre and Music Hall

Flexible Stage

Culinary Hall

The two old seperate structures are connected by a new tunnel like mass, this cluster hosts a variety of rehersal rooms.

The train station is another foyer with a little bistro and connects from its second floor to the new flexible stage to host various types of performances, rendered possible by the open plan within.

The old bulidng serves as vertical lecture rooms for theoretical learning joint while the new elongated one is for practice. An adjacent greenhouse helps with the ingerdients, but also with education.

The conic roof shape invites a dense but diffused light.

A one floor structure with high natural ventilation and natural lighting, perfect for the lateral needs of a kitchen environment.

This setup helps create new possiblities with different room typologies for different necessities.

Semi-Public Space

Hortus Conclusus

Generally open for the public as an entertainment and relaxation ground, the dancers have priority for their outside exercises and rehersals.

Open yet enclosed in itself, it is a great location to rest and enter your thoughts near wild greenerie.

Public Space Serves as a open for suggestion space from public events to morning food markets

Outside spaces and surfaces

Mashrabiya detail While the passers-by are secluded from the inner side of the wall, one can stop and sit by the bank of the road to enjoy the expansive view over the courtyard and its activities.

Follies Apart from serving as cover from wheather and shade from sun, these tents are modular systems used to define outdoor temporary spaces.

Outside spaces and surfaces

Dance Villa As part of the overall language the new volumetry has no doors or windows, it is just an interior fully visible from the exterior.

The villa’s extension becomes the main focus, hosting the two studios one in each floor, whilst the villa itself remains divided in 3 floors with removed partition walls and staircase and host all the required amenities including the new circulation shaft.

The overall spaces are designed for the training of dance groups and associations ranging from ballet to modern ballet to contemporary dance. This is all made available by 6m high ceilings that has all the necessary equipement hanging.

The curtains are sliding and the mirrors are removable to configure the space accordingly. The space is lit naturally with the d iffused light from the ploycarbonate faรงade.

Stage Station As part of the overall language the new volumetry has no doors or windows, it is just an interior fully visible from the exterior.

The station in contrary to its old state, is now porous and welcoming. Its roof is situated at the epicentre of the bridge systems.

The old transformer within its cubic volume, is now removed and replaced with a smaller and underground one, opening space for a back entry for performers.

Inside, the station expands to become a stage to host performative arts and mainly dances.
