Lonja de los Mercaderes de Guillermo Sagrera

ie School of Architecture lo descubrió en marzo de 2010

Lonja de los Mercaderes de Palma de Mallorca fue construida por Guillem Sagrera entre 1426 y 1446 y es un uno de los más claros exponentes del gótico civil catalán. Se sitúa entre el paseo de sagrera y la plaza de la llotja. Fue en sus orígenes la sede del Colegio de la Mercadería, y fue un punto de reunión para comerciante, también se uso como bolsa para los barcos que estaban continuamente realizando viajes.
El interior de esta lonja está formado por tres naves de la misma altura separada por seis columnas helicoidales sin capitel, y cuatro tramos transversales cuyas delimitaciones se coronan con pequeños torreones octogonales.
Entre las actuaciones que se están llevando a cabo está la rehabilitación de los paramentos, muros, molduras, esculturas, columnas y pavimento con aplicación de distintas técnicas, en función de la situación en la que los técnicos han encontrado cada elemento. El criterio global de la intervención en la Lonja es la mínima agresividad posible, para que el edificio no pierda la protección que le da la propia piedra.
Es el edificio marítimo más destacado de palma de Mallorca por su fachada.

architects:
Hugh Stubbins, Düttmann and Mocken 1956-57

The Congress Hall, former called "Benjamin-Franklin-Halle", was the American contribution to the International Building Exhibition in 1957. It was declared as a gift of America to its close affiliate of West Berlin.
On the basis of plans by Hugh A. Stubbins, and with the cooperation of Werner Düttmann and Franz Mocken, a technically revolutionary building was built on the south bank of the Spree in the eastern part of the Tiergarten. The people of Berlin soon gave the building a fitting nickname: "pregnant oyster".

Above a base story measuring 92 by 96 meters rises the wide sweep of the roof structure. The roof is supported on both sides by steel anchors which only rest on two points. The base story is generously glazed on both sides and comprises three staggered levels with the large reception hall, a cafeteria, a theatre auditorium with 400 seats, an exhibition area, further smaller rooms for congresses, seminars and the administration and, on the side facing the spree, a two-story restaurant.

The hall itself contains the auditorium. Because of the almost round floor plan, the stage at one side is comparatively wide and shallow, and the rising rows of the seats for the audience become increasingly wide. The auditorium seats 1250.

In the central axis of the entrance side - facing away from the river - a large outdoor flight of steps leads to the terrace, which is rarely used because the entrance is in the base story. In front of the building is an impressive large pond, in the middle of which Henry Moore's bronze sculpture "Big Butterfly" can be seen.

In 1980 part of the roof collapsed because the steel core of the front roof arch had rusted through. Although there was no concept for its use, the hall was reconstructed for the 750 year celebrations in 1987. Since 1989 it has been used under the name "House of the Cultures of the World" as a site for events and exhibitions.

architects Snøhetta

snoarc.no

Snøhetta is an international architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design office based in Oslo, Norway and New York City.

Snøhetta has two principals, Craig Dykers and Kjetil Trædal Thorsen. In addition there are four partners, architect Robert Greenwood, architect Ole Gustavsen, architect Tarald Lundevall, and landscape architect Jenny Osuldsen. Ole Gustavsen fulfills the role of Managing Director for the company. In 2006 Snøhetta had approximately 80 designers working on projects in Europe, Asia and America.

Among Snøhetta’s notable works are:

* The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Library of Alexandria) in Egypt
* The Norwegian Embassy in Berlin
* The New National Opera House in Oslo
* The Turner Contemporary Museum in England
* The Lillehammer Art Museum in Norway
* The National September 11th Memorial Museum Pavilion/Cultural Complex at the World Trade Center site in New York
* The James B. Hunt, Jr. Library at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC

The practice is focused upon a transdisciplinary platform where multiple professions work together to explore differing perspectives of the conditions for each project it undertakes. The nature of the solutions often dwells upon the relationship of the program and site. While not emphasizing one condition or one attitude over another, the result is a design intention that promotes a narrative of what it is, where it is, what it does, and how it does it.

The company is composed of designers and staff from around the world and the social environment and working conditions of the firm is very important to its members.

Alvaro Siza Hall - Anyang, South Korea (2006). Arquitectura, Álvaro Siza, Carlos Castanheira y Jun Saung Kim

en el parque natural de Anyang, el pabellón de Siza se sitúa en una explanada, rodeado de montañas y vegetación … Un amplio espacio polivalente para las actividades culturales del parque, una pequeña oficina y servicios públicos para los visitantes.

Puede que las nubes blancas resbalando por las laderas de la montaña dieran forma a este espacio, en las fotos lo parece… a menudo recuerdo una frase de Siza que leí en una entrevista a Enric Miralles “buscar el carácter singular de las cosas obvias” también ahora, como suele suceder con la arquitectura de Siza, sus espacios son sin duda singulares, pero esa singularidad no es evidente, a veces queda ahí, tan cerca de lo obvio que casi resulta indescifrable … blancas curvas sutiles y austeras que se diluyen en la luz … “un espacio nada estático, cuando nos movemos canta, diría Siza”.

Esta última frase es de la narración del proceso de proyecto y construcción del edificio descrito por Carlos Castanheira, en el dossier especial publicado en la web “Ultimas Reportagens” de Fernando Guerra.
