For Elena. Се е можно – са тобом.
FORE W O RD ‘Workbook 2006’ is a compilation of work carried out during my first years as an architect. It was a fruitful period (a planned six-month training in the Netherlands that stretched into a seven-year residence), both for the rich professional experience, as well as for the pivotal personal one. I had the opportunity to collaborate and share experiences with many people from around the world, with whom I worked on numerous and very diverse assignments. Each was a unique challenge and an opportunity to learn something new. Three professional experiences were the sources for the material shown here: my work at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), at the Architekten Cie. and as an independent architect. To keep the format compact, I selected the projects that were most significant to my personal history and to which I contributed the most. I intended to present the most disparate scales, types of assignment, project phases and geographic locations. For example, the Poldra project – for a house in Portugal – was done single-handedly. Most other projects were the collaborative effort of small design teams. The preliminary design of CCTV, on the other hand, involved around 80 architects, engineers, and consultants over a period of months. As a compilation, this volume is the work of one person, but it represents the effort of many. ‘Workbook 2006’ is dedicated to the friends and colleagues who not only made it possible but also helped and taught me.

Het Nieuwe Landhuis C o m p e t i t i o n e nt ry Almere, Netherlands
Het Nieuwe Landhuis · 9
‘Het Nieuwe Landhuis’ (The New Country House) was an idea of the Almere City Council. The Council had planned a new suburban district as a part of the city’s growth strategy. Unlike most urban extension areas in the Netherlands, though, this one was designated as privately owned and built housing. Each parcel had an area of 3,000 m2 and owners were expected to commission oneoff projects for their own houses. The concept was so novel to the Netherlands that the City Council thought it appropriate to give the initiative an initial push. Architects were invited to submit plans and a competition with accompanying exhibition was organized, hoping that potential buyers would be persuaded. The mood was ambitious: Almere (founded 1975) had just celebrated its 25th anniversary and it was already aiming at becoming the 4th most populous city in the Netherlands. A new city center and a high rank in the Dutch public’s attention set the background.
10 · Het Nieuwe Landhuis
Yet this assignment was simple enough: very strict envelope boundaries and not much else. And it made Dutch sense: the neighbors were not far, but you should mind your own plot and ignore them. This project simply took the flatness of the polder landscape as a starting point and the house as a ‘wave’ that introduces movement and agitation. The wave simultaneously belongs to the surface and is a singularity within it. We rejected a language of horizontal lines (seen on most other entries) that would merely restate the flatness of the polder, regardless of the details of the composition. The house was designed for a family, with space for a small professional practice. We used the maximum allowed height, split into basement, ground floor and two upper floors (see plans at right). The design received some attention in the press, but failed to attract any clients.

The first plausible commission. Real clients with credible plans, good understanding, open minds: a rare occasion for a beginning architect. I welcomed this task with enthusiasm and hope, and fit the preliminary design between other professional obligations.
The assignment was to design a house that would double as residence for the owners and small countryside inn for nature lovers visiting this region. The status of countryside inn is bound to strict regulations concerning the impact on the landscape, the compliance with local building practices etc. The owners were not so particular with their own demands. The size of the house had to be manageable, but, for the rest, the brief for the project mostly consisted of rules and guidelines for this protected natural reserve.
One of the bases of the design is the approach to the house. Sitting slightly above the road, the house should signal its presence but, at the same time, suggest privacy. For this reason, the south facade overlooks the road and is seen continuously as one drives along. The rest of the house is only visible from within the premises.
The other basis of the design is a plan organized around three courtyards with different characters: one in the main living area (enclosed), one in the guest area (open) and a third one in the residents’ area (semi-enclosed). The courtyards work as centers around which the three main areas of the house are organized: the common living area for sitting and meals, the guest room area open to the landscape, and the residential area, which is more private. To the north, a swimming pool on a plateau allows views of the surrounding hills, far into the horizon.

A number of devices are used throughout the house to control the excessive summer heat and low night temperatures, while at the same time allowing the house to be open to its environment – physically and visually. The house should provide an inviting haven of privacy for city-dwellers willing to enjoy the outdoors. It is a complimentary insertion in the full expanse of rolling hills and vast silence. It is introspective and calm.
Years after, the project has not yet materialized. All parties were satisfied then, but the clients’ priorities have changed. The project has become more of a snapshot than a finalized plan.

Site Located between mountain and sea, just outside
This project is a competition entry for an urban redevelopment plan in the island territory of Penang, in West Malaysia. The site is a former turf club just outside Georgetown, the state capital, and is located at the foot of a dramatic mountain range covered in lush green. It is also just about 5 kilometers from the coast and, therefore, a privileged location. Relevant aspects of the surrounding urban context (transport, economical activity, tourism) were analyzed and mapped.
Georgetown, the site was formerly the grounds of a turf club. The horse-racing track is visible at the foot of the mountain.

Pr ogr am The program was given: 1.67 million square meters of new urban substance, mostly housing, but also offices, hotels, and communal health, cultural, entertainment and retail facilities. The method of organizing it was hinted by the surroundings of the site: islands of modernization within a continuous texture of spontaneous greenery. In planning terms, this corresponds to contained areas of maximum investment and value – the islands – amid informally organized territory – the greenery. The ‘islands’ are the foci of the infrastructure and the places of planned urbanity (housing, hotel and offices), while the green backdrop remains largely unplanned but is punctuated by prominent communal facilities (concert hall, clinic, retail outlets etc) around which urban activity should develop spontaneously, in the manner of the Asian tropical city.

CO N TEXT CCTV is located in the Beijing Central Business District (CBD). The CBD is a showcase for China’s ambition of modernity, a territory where architecture competes for height. The race for tallness is futile, a predictable parade of temporary victories. The CCTV complex presents an escape from the dictates of the standard skyscraper typology - stacked repetition - and an engagement of urban territory through form and program.

One structure (CCTV) accommodates all facilities required for the televisionmaking process (administration, offices, production areas, news production areas, broadcasting and support areas). They are arranged in a loop that promotes the interconnectedness of the process and the people involved in it. A second structure (TVCC) accommodates the public facilities: a theater, recording studios, several cinema rooms, a ballroom, news conference rooms, a hotel and two restaurants. Support facilities (electrical power generation, truck parking and security central) are housed in a third structure,

The desired flexibility called for innovative design solutions as well as state-of-the art expertise in acoustics, visual performance and comfort. The result is a theater that pushes some of the boundaries of the rather restrictive science of theater design. The theater is an integral part of TVCC with its own requirements, from the public access and foyer arrangement to the artists’ facilities, recording studios, accessibility and security.

CCTV / TVCC was a unique opportunity to take part in a project that embodies many aspirations, contains significant symbolism and also stirs polemics. This is perhaps inescapable given the political and economical context that generated it, a context of change, marked by bold initiatives under unique conditions. Those conditions set the mood for us, an overworked project team who ‘lived the impossible’ as a daily reality.
