The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br />
The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p>

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p>

<p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><br />
The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p>

<p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p>

<p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Site</strong></p>

<p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Elevated Plinths</strong></p>

<p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p>

The building is situated in the southern part of the city in the historical quarter rich in 18th century German, French and Italian architecture. The construction was completed at the end of 2011. The building was originally built in the 19th century as a private residence and has been used for government purposes since the 1960s. While the exterior maintains its classical attributes, the interior is strongly contemporary and demonstrates a definitive move away from the Soviet architecture of the past. &nbsp;</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>Architects of Invention worked on all elements of the interior, from the intriguing reception desk a standard rectangular table that is fissured with an arresting crevice that cuts deeply through the centre to the athletic track markings on the floor that guide visitors around the interactive displays for young visitors to the museum. Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure. The staircase is a steel frame with MDF panels and the frame, steps and handrails are finished with maple veneer. The seemingly endless twists and turns of the staircase refer to the limitless possibilities of human achievement.</p>

<p>Architect Nikoloz Japaridze explains “This work represents the idea of dynamics in sport with the abstract compositions of the staircase and the reception table. The first object you encounter is the introverted desk with its never-ending fissure, and then you meet the extroverted staircase like the open path to Olympus, where the summit meets its own reflection, inferring that striving never ends, that there is no limit to human achievement”.<cut><cut><cut></cut></cut></cut></p>

&nbsp;</p>

<p><cut>The Ministry building brings together a number of services - the Civil Registry Agency, National Agency of Public Registry, National Archives of Georgia, National Bureau of Enforcement and Notary Chamber - under one roof, creating a new blueprint for a government building. Inspired by a classical Greek form, the Ministry is fronted with regular columns, but, rather than a rendered façade, the columns support a canopy beneath which are two independent and contrasting glass volumes. The size of the Public Hall defines the first volume, which is rectangular and also contains office space.--- &nbsp;The second volume is oval and set apart from the rectangular block to accommodate a covered entrance and public walkway between the buildings, connecting the square to one of Ozurgeti’s major boulevards. Each form is double-storied and linked by an underground corridor. The exteriors and interiors are uniform white, adding to a sense of luminosity. The choice of 100% transparent low emission glass creates brightness inside the building.&nbsp;This building is contextual, with a clear relationship to the city and its surroundings.&nbsp; It invites public interaction and its presence modernises the square with its existing residential buildings, a former local art museum and a 400-seat theatre.</cut></p>

<p>Architects of Invention's work involved the complete demolition of an existing 4-storey office block, replacing it with a new 7-storey office building with a single level underground car park and public space at the base of the building.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The site boundary defined the shape of the building in plan, suggesting two rectilinear volumes - that are merged with an angular rotation and served by a common lift, occupying the liminal angular space between volumes. The façade responds to and emphasises the meeting point of the two blocks with an altered, diagonal rhythm of&nbsp; Jura marble fins that covers the building.&nbsp; Window panels are recessed from the fins by 40cm to give privacy and deflect solar glare.</p>

<p>The different heights of the buildings’ volumes create an interesting visual tension, as well as ensuring observation of local rights of light and showing sensitivity to local context in terms of the surrounding buildings.&nbsp; Thus the 7-storey volume responds to the higher blocks behind it, while the lower invites access via the courtyard, drawing attention to the entrance as there is no direct street access. Sunken terraces to the east and the west of the building can be accessed from the lobby.</p>

<p>A double-height lobby features an eight-metre long reception desk with a hot-desking facility area. There are sunken terraces to the East and the West of the building with access from the lobby. AI designed ‘Pringle’ light fittings in lightweight, translucent acrylic, which diffuses and reflects the downlighting above. The stairs, floor surfaces and reception desk are finished in Jura marble; the walls are finished with white, back-painted glass panels.</p>

<p>The first floor office cantilevers over the lobby.&nbsp; The four floors above are for the main staff body.&nbsp; The seventh floor is dedicated to senior management and has an outdoor terrace with views over Moscow.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The building refers to the values of ancient Greek canonical architecture with its simplicity, modesty, regularity, repetition and the singularity of its materiality. The building is arguably neo-classical but at the same time very contemporary in its setting and context. This building works like an architectural lever&nbsp;along both horizontal and vertical planes. The design relies upon the principle of juxtaposition&nbsp;but results in a singular body of architecture. The plot and context are wildly complex and the building is highly responsive to these.</p>

<p>The building's beauty is in its plan and its appearance. It is a singular "mass" of stone responding to the very tight conditions of the typologically and materially different buildings around it. It has very strong, but at the same time very subtle, presence. The architectural expression is dispersed by its uniform rythmic marble facade grid, emphasised by diagonal breakpoints at the juxtaposition of the building volumes. The breakpoints&nbsp; accentuate the dynamic relationship of the volumes suggesting organic transition of the facade grid.</p>

<p>The building uses an innovative facade system of Jura marble veneer fixed to ceramic tiles. This system is used here for the first time in Russia.</p>

<p>The building is appealing to the local architectural community,&nbsp; who value the cohesive nature of European architectural culture and expression (such as Mies van de Rohe's aphorism 'Less is more'). The building shows the strength and integrity in its design, materials and quality of collaboration.</p>

<p>The building is located to the North-East of Moscow city centre on a street whose heritage dates back to the 17<sup>th</sup> century.&nbsp; Originally called &nbsp;Pokrovskaya street, which referred to the liberation of Moscow by the Poles, it became Bakuninskaya in 1918 in honour of MA Bakunin (1814-1876). Many historical houses have survived to this day, including the 200-year-old house at number 7- 15. In 1886, architect IG Kondratenko built the first factory building on the street, on the plots of houses No. 74 - 76. In 1885 the architect P. P. Shcheglov built a house (No. 54), distinguished by an unusually ornate facade: the pediment was decorated with the head of a lion. In 1891, the architect I. S. Kuznetsov built a house at number 78 for the manufacturer Denisov and in 1904 completed No. 94 for the clergy of the churches of the Moscow Pokrovskaya Community of Sisters of Mercy.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><strong>Building description</strong></p>

<p>Constructed 1927-8 by the civil engineer V. Patek the Telecom building at number 5 Bakuniskaya is a classic example of Russian industrial constructivism, one of three such identical buildings in Moscow. The four-story building is the letter "T" shape in plan. Its monumental, rendered façade bears the inscriptions - "Mail", "Telephone", "Telegraph". Architects of Invention have retained this main façade, facing onto Bakuninskaya street, restoring its original aesthetic with a light grey plaster render, whilst the windows, doors and metal fixtures are painted in a dark grey aluminium. &nbsp;The historic front section of the building now accommodates retail, cafes and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace. The rear has been reconfigured to provide two large lobby areas at ground floor level, housed in separate cores.&nbsp; These give access to the apart-hotel and are accessed via a double height entrance in the centre of the rear façade.</p>

<p>A new independent volume, with a striking, triangular, cantilevered façade, now hovers above the existing historic building.&nbsp; The contrast between old and new is emphasised through materials – the new is a large grid of modular, metallic components and stained glass – and through the dramatic contemporary form.&nbsp; The volumes are connected by a sky-garden,and there are balconies for every room.</p>

<p>There is a single level underground car park with 65 spaces on site.</p>

<p><strong>Structure</strong></p>

<p>The buildings are based on concrete load-bearing, sheer walls and a two core structure. The new volume cantilevers from the south and north by 13m and 7.5m respectively. The transferred slab underneath the new volume is formed as a caisson superstructure.</p>

The expression of thoughts, unconstrained by technology leads to a liberation of thought itself. Just as ink made it possible to record and translate thought, not only in the form of words as symbols, but also in the generation of stories.

Parametricism denies human input except for a methodologic matrix control.

<p>The new residential development is positioned in Staines-upon-Thames at the edge of the river Thames on top of an existing two level car park adjacent to the historic Staines Bridge. The south-west elevation faces the embankment, the south-east is positioned on Bridge Street and the building faces Clarence Street to the East. There are adjacent buildings to the site: Strata House to the North, Edge Court residential building to the East, The Staines Bridge to the East and Swan Hotel to the West.</p>

<p>Concept</p>

<p>The structure represents the idea of a circular forum encapsulating the spirit of community and integration. It speaks to the surroundings by positively embodying the concept of connection: between city, river and the historic Staines Bridge. The emphasis on integration in this design means city and residential units are given to each other. Likewise, the building itself opens 360 degrees to the city allowing for most of the flats to have a view of the river.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><br />
Urban Strategy</p>

<p>Best practice in upgrading townscapes must include developing and restoring the centre to attract visitors and create a community and leisure hub. With this in mind, we have opened the building to allow easy ingress and egress and to attract the local population to enjoy the building and the views it offers. The building is designed to interact positively with its setting and should form a focal point for new community activity.</p>

<p>- regeneration Clarence street</p>

<p>- Leisure hub</p>

<p>- stop for Windsor - Hampton Court route - cyclists and boats</p>

<p>- landmark design</p>

<p>- creating public spaces</p>

<p>- animating embankment</p>

<p>- using arches under the bridge</p>

<p>- not obstructing views for strata</p>

<p>Building Description</p>

<p>The building is seven stories high with descending terraces at the front, which offer views towards the river from the internally situated apartments. While the building is foremost designated as residential, part of the ground floor is occupied with space for retail. The building’s round shape creates public spaces on the ground floor opening to the north–east between the Strata House and the new development and also from the south-east corner on the embankment by the bridge.</p>

<p>Both entrances to the building for pedestrians and vehicles are on the north-west side. The car park for 126 vehicles is situated on two levels with access via two separate ramps for each level. The first level is half-sunken to decrease the height of the carp park and as a precaution against flooding.</p>

<p>There is a private terrace for the residents on top of the car park. It combines a balanced combination of greenery and architectural features most prominently, a water feature. There is a wide staircase from this terrace leading down to the embankment (reverse access is protected) offering an integral public recreational seating area. The first floor flats have individual fenced gardens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The façade is based on a regular unified module which forms balconies above the units below. Each unit corresponds to the internal organisation of flats whether they are one, two or three-bedroom flats.</p>

<p>The resulting building is very well situated in the surroundings opening wide views towards the river and the city. It offers a dynamic presence, offering a volume and facade which are constantly changing. The building forms two different qualities of public space – the recreational and the urban. The building shape is an ideal circle and therefore lends itself to a uniformity, using segments - which is very simple and yet offers the complexity needed for that specific urban situation. The access and views are placed in order to maximize interactivity with the surrounding city.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Environment</p>

<p>The building is designed using CLT and Glue-lam beams, which is low maintenance and long lasting, and will have a low environmental impact, due to the minimal use of natural resources and the passive means of comfort conditioning. Accessibility of the building allows daylight and ventilation to permeate through the building, which was designed specifically for low environmental impact.</p>

<p>Internally, comfort conditions are passively controlled using natural cross ventilation, exposed thermal mass, and a building envelope made out of glass. The building also incorporates recycled materials including a wooden block courtyard floor utilising timber from reclaimed city power poles; concrete and pavers that utilise a high percentage of recycled material and fly ash for cement and aggregate replacement; LED lighting is used extensively in the building.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The dwellings each have a number of detached outbuildings in their grounds as well as various access drives which provide access to adjacent properties. Both houses are accessed from a private drive via the public highway (Hancocks Mount); the adopted road also serves another private road which leads to the old DeBeers Industrial Estate containing Charters, a listed building, which has recently been restored to residential use to include two new blocks of sixteen apartments, one of which dominates the eastern boundary of the site.</p>

<p>The site lies within, albeit on the edge of, the Green Belt with land to the north and west being part of the wider residential settlement area and therefore outside the green belt.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>To the east and south are the more open grounds of Charters which is within the green belt.</p>

<p>The proposed scheme is designed in a contemporary architectural style. Its volumetric composition reflects the characteristics of the sloping landscape. The progression of floor plans follows the functional sequence of the internal organisation. The layout opens up to the Southern aspect in order to embrace the views and capture the sunlight. The contemporary style of the proposed scheme reflects that of Charters with it’s ‘Art Deco’ white facades, orthogonal volumetric composition, flat roofs and glass balustrades.</p>

<p>The design concept ‘Garden Hill’ is inspired by The Hanging Gardens of Babylon: an oasis like residence for Birmingham’s growing, multicultural, student population. The two dramatic 25 storey staggered towers, hung with gardens at every level, give all occupants and visitors access to private and shared terraces and a spacious rooftop garden. The entire block is made of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) as an exercise in highly sustainable construction.</p>

The new link between historic Pimlico and the cutting-edge development at Nine Elms should express the city’s ambitions for those neighbourhoods and for London as a whole.</p>

<p>On the south side, a gateway that will define a modern development; on the north side, a seamless entrance to classic Pimlico and Victoria beyond. Over the river, two asymmetrical arches gracefully soar over a continuous loop a striking geometry that refers to London’s other bridges while reproducing none of them.</p>

<p>Dedicated cycling lanes mean that The Clip will become a vital artery for commuters. The separate pedestrian paths and public realm frame new perspectives on the city making it a place to linger, meet friends and enjoy the view. The vertical arches and the horizontal loop frame vistas east and west towards the London Eye and the revitalised Battersea Power Station. Separation of the walkways results in a different viewing experience, through the loop at passing boats and out towards the city.</p>

<p>The design is sensitive both to the white stucco-fronted Regency architecture of Pimlico, and also to the sculptural and innovative ideas of the new Nine Elms. The cycle lanes are accessible through ramps, while there are segregated ramps and lifts for pedestrian and disabled users. The landing points touch lightly on either side forming a safe and seamless transition for all users. With its unobstructed views and spacious walkways.The Clip will become an attraction for both Londoners and visitors.</p>

			'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. &nbsp;This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p>

<p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p>

<p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. &nbsp;The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir. Access to the building is through a bridge over the reservoir.</p>

The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br />
The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p>

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p>

<p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><br />
The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p>

<p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p>

<p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Site</strong></p>

<p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Elevated Plinths</strong></p>

<p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p>

The building was originally built in the 19th century as a private residence and has been used for government purposes since the 1960s. While the exterior maintains its classical attributes, the interior is strongly contemporary and demonstrates a definitive move away from the Soviet architecture of the past. &nbsp;</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>Architects of Invention worked on all elements of the interior, from the intriguing reception desk a standard rectangular table that is fissured with an arresting crevice that cuts deeply through the centre to the athletic track markings on the floor that guide visitors around the interactive displays for young visitors to the museum. Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure. The staircase is a steel frame with MDF panels and the frame, steps and handrails are finished with maple veneer. The seemingly endless twists and turns of the staircase refer to the limitless possibilities of human achievement.</p>

<p>Architect Nikoloz Japaridze explains “This work represents the idea of dynamics in sport with the abstract compositions of the staircase and the reception table. The first object you encounter is the introverted desk with its never-ending fissure, and then you meet the extroverted staircase like the open path to Olympus, where the summit meets its own reflection, inferring that striving never ends, that there is no limit to human achievement”.<cut><cut><cut></cut></cut></cut></p>

<p><cut>The Ministry building brings together a number of services - the Civil Registry Agency, National Agency of Public Registry, National Archives of Georgia, National Bureau of Enforcement and Notary Chamber - under one roof, creating a new blueprint for a government building. Inspired by a classical Greek form, the Ministry is fronted with regular columns, but, rather than a rendered façade, the columns support a canopy beneath which are two independent and contrasting glass volumes. The size of the Public Hall defines the first volume, which is rectangular and also contains office space.--- &nbsp;The second volume is oval and set apart from the rectangular block to accommodate a covered entrance and public walkway between the buildings, connecting the square to one of Ozurgeti’s major boulevards. Each form is double-storied and linked by an underground corridor. The exteriors and interiors are uniform white, adding to a sense of luminosity. The choice of 100% transparent low emission glass creates brightness inside the building.&nbsp;This building is contextual, with a clear relationship to the city and its surroundings.&nbsp; It invites public interaction and its presence modernises the square with its existing residential buildings, a former local art museum and a 400-seat theatre.</cut></p>

<p>Architects of Invention's work involved the complete demolition of an existing 4-storey office block, replacing it with a new 7-storey office building with a single level underground car park and public space at the base of the building.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The site boundary defined the shape of the building in plan, suggesting two rectilinear volumes - that are merged with an angular rotation and served by a common lift, occupying the liminal angular space between volumes. The façade responds to and emphasises the meeting point of the two blocks with an altered, diagonal rhythm of&nbsp; Jura marble fins that covers the building.&nbsp; Window panels are recessed from the fins by 40cm to give privacy and deflect solar glare.</p>

<p>The different heights of the buildings’ volumes create an interesting visual tension, as well as ensuring observation of local rights of light and showing sensitivity to local context in terms of the surrounding buildings.&nbsp; Thus the 7-storey volume responds to the higher blocks behind it, while the lower invites access via the courtyard, drawing attention to the entrance as there is no direct street access. Sunken terraces to the east and the west of the building can be accessed from the lobby.</p>

<p>A double-height lobby features an eight-metre long reception desk with a hot-desking facility area. There are sunken terraces to the East and the West of the building with access from the lobby. AI designed ‘Pringle’ light fittings in lightweight, translucent acrylic, which diffuses and reflects the downlighting above. The stairs, floor surfaces and reception desk are finished in Jura marble; the walls are finished with white, back-painted glass panels.</p>

<p>The first floor office cantilevers over the lobby.&nbsp; The four floors above are for the main staff body.&nbsp; The seventh floor is dedicated to senior management and has an outdoor terrace with views over Moscow.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The building refers to the values of ancient Greek canonical architecture with its simplicity, modesty, regularity, repetition and the singularity of its materiality. The building is arguably neo-classical but at the same time very contemporary in its setting and context. This building works like an architectural lever&nbsp;along both horizontal and vertical planes. The design relies upon the principle of juxtaposition&nbsp;but results in a singular body of architecture. The plot and context are wildly complex and the building is highly responsive to these.</p>

<p>The building's beauty is in its plan and its appearance. It is a singular "mass" of stone responding to the very tight conditions of the typologically and materially different buildings around it. It has very strong, but at the same time very subtle, presence. The architectural expression is dispersed by its uniform rythmic marble facade grid, emphasised by diagonal breakpoints at the juxtaposition of the building volumes. The breakpoints&nbsp; accentuate the dynamic relationship of the volumes suggesting organic transition of the facade grid.</p>

<p>The building uses an innovative facade system of Jura marble veneer fixed to ceramic tiles. This system is used here for the first time in Russia.</p>

<p>The building is appealing to the local architectural community,&nbsp; who value the cohesive nature of European architectural culture and expression (such as Mies van de Rohe's aphorism 'Less is more'). The building shows the strength and integrity in its design, materials and quality of collaboration.</p>

<p>The building is located to the North-East of Moscow city centre on a street whose heritage dates back to the 17<sup>th</sup> century.&nbsp; Originally called &nbsp;Pokrovskaya street, which referred to the liberation of Moscow by the Poles, it became Bakuninskaya in 1918 in honour of MA Bakunin (1814-1876). Many historical houses have survived to this day, including the 200-year-old house at number 7- 15. In 1886, architect IG Kondratenko built the first factory building on the street, on the plots of houses No. 74 - 76. In 1885 the architect P. P. Shcheglov built a house (No. 54), distinguished by an unusually ornate facade: the pediment was decorated with the head of a lion. In 1891, the architect I. S. Kuznetsov built a house at number 78 for the manufacturer Denisov and in 1904 completed No. 94 for the clergy of the churches of the Moscow Pokrovskaya Community of Sisters of Mercy.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><strong>Building description</strong></p>

<p>Constructed 1927-8 by the civil engineer V. Patek the Telecom building at number 5 Bakuniskaya is a classic example of Russian industrial constructivism, one of three such identical buildings in Moscow. The four-story building is the letter "T" shape in plan. Its monumental, rendered façade bears the inscriptions - "Mail", "Telephone", "Telegraph". Architects of Invention have retained this main façade, facing onto Bakuninskaya street, restoring its original aesthetic with a light grey plaster render, whilst the windows, doors and metal fixtures are painted in a dark grey aluminium. &nbsp;The historic front section of the building now accommodates retail, cafes and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace. The rear has been reconfigured to provide two large lobby areas at ground floor level, housed in separate cores.&nbsp; These give access to the apart-hotel and are accessed via a double height entrance in the centre of the rear façade.</p>

<p>A new independent volume, with a striking, triangular, cantilevered façade, now hovers above the existing historic building.&nbsp; The contrast between old and new is emphasised through materials – the new is a large grid of modular, metallic components and stained glass – and through the dramatic contemporary form.&nbsp; The volumes are connected by a sky-garden,and there are balconies for every room.</p>

<p>There is a single level underground car park with 65 spaces on site.</p>

<p><strong>Structure</strong></p>

<p>The buildings are based on concrete load-bearing, sheer walls and a two core structure. The new volume cantilevers from the south and north by 13m and 7.5m respectively. The transferred slab underneath the new volume is formed as a caisson superstructure.</p>

Post-rationalisation collides with a rationalisation of the meaningless combination of elements confined to a sequence forming a conglomerate of an organism, while the organism is a singular motion, technique, material and a free form. No more container stacked rectangles. Shape does not matter, if the rational resonates with the desired outcome. The expression of thoughts, unconstrained by technology leads to a liberation of thought itself. Just as ink made it possible to record and translate thought, not only in the form of words as symbols, but also in the generation of stories. A story can be anything, a narrative, a multi-layered, polyphonic, flowing whole—why should architecture be constrained by building blocks, unable to fully express itself, always relying on a heavy industrial supply chain?</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Parametricism denies human input except for a methodologic matrix control. All parameters are pre-set in the given conditions of the place (sun, wind, climate, market conditions, programme) so human input is a monitoring stance, making choices in a random order, mostly based on the intuition.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p>The new residential development is positioned in Staines-upon-Thames at the edge of the river Thames on top of an existing two level car park adjacent to the historic Staines Bridge. The south-west elevation faces the embankment, the south-east is positioned on Bridge Street and the building faces Clarence Street to the East. There are adjacent buildings to the site: Strata House to the North, Edge Court residential building to the East, The Staines Bridge to the East and Swan Hotel to the West.</p>

<p>Concept</p>

<p>The structure represents the idea of a circular forum encapsulating the spirit of community and integration. It speaks to the surroundings by positively embodying the concept of connection: between city, river and the historic Staines Bridge. The emphasis on integration in this design means city and residential units are given to each other. Likewise, the building itself opens 360 degrees to the city allowing for most of the flats to have a view of the river.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><br />
Urban Strategy</p>

<p>Best practice in upgrading townscapes must include developing and restoring the centre to attract visitors and create a community and leisure hub. With this in mind, we have opened the building to allow easy ingress and egress and to attract the local population to enjoy the building and the views it offers. The building is designed to interact positively with its setting and should form a focal point for new community activity.</p>

<p>- regeneration Clarence street</p>

<p>- Leisure hub</p>

<p>- stop for Windsor - Hampton Court route - cyclists and boats</p>

<p>- landmark design</p>

<p>- creating public spaces</p>

<p>- animating embankment</p>

<p>- using arches under the bridge</p>

<p>- not obstructing views for strata</p>

<p>Building Description</p>

<p>The building is seven stories high with descending terraces at the front, which offer views towards the river from the internally situated apartments. While the building is foremost designated as residential, part of the ground floor is occupied with space for retail. The building’s round shape creates public spaces on the ground floor opening to the north–east between the Strata House and the new development and also from the south-east corner on the embankment by the bridge.</p>

<p>Both entrances to the building for pedestrians and vehicles are on the north-west side. The car park for 126 vehicles is situated on two levels with access via two separate ramps for each level. The first level is half-sunken to decrease the height of the carp park and as a precaution against flooding.</p>

<p>There is a private terrace for the residents on top of the car park. It combines a balanced combination of greenery and architectural features most prominently, a water feature. There is a wide staircase from this terrace leading down to the embankment (reverse access is protected) offering an integral public recreational seating area. The first floor flats have individual fenced gardens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The façade is based on a regular unified module which forms balconies above the units below. Each unit corresponds to the internal organisation of flats whether they are one, two or three-bedroom flats.</p>

<p>The resulting building is very well situated in the surroundings opening wide views towards the river and the city. It offers a dynamic presence, offering a volume and facade which are constantly changing. The building forms two different qualities of public space – the recreational and the urban. The building shape is an ideal circle and therefore lends itself to a uniformity, using segments - which is very simple and yet offers the complexity needed for that specific urban situation. The access and views are placed in order to maximize interactivity with the surrounding city.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Environment</p>

<p>The building is designed using CLT and Glue-lam beams, which is low maintenance and long lasting, and will have a low environmental impact, due to the minimal use of natural resources and the passive means of comfort conditioning. Accessibility of the building allows daylight and ventilation to permeate through the building, which was designed specifically for low environmental impact.</p>

<p>Internally, comfort conditions are passively controlled using natural cross ventilation, exposed thermal mass, and a building envelope made out of glass. The building also incorporates recycled materials including a wooden block courtyard floor utilising timber from reclaimed city power poles; concrete and pavers that utilise a high percentage of recycled material and fly ash for cement and aggregate replacement; LED lighting is used extensively in the building.</p>

The new link between historic Pimlico and the cutting-edge development at Nine Elms should express the city’s ambitions for those neighbourhoods and for London as a whole.</p>

<p>On the south side, a gateway that will define a modern development; on the north side, a seamless entrance to classic Pimlico and Victoria beyond. Over the river, two asymmetrical arches gracefully soar over a continuous loop a striking geometry that refers to London’s other bridges while reproducing none of them.</p>

<p>Dedicated cycling lanes mean that The Clip will become a vital artery for commuters. The separate pedestrian paths and public realm frame new perspectives on the city making it a place to linger, meet friends and enjoy the view. The vertical arches and the horizontal loop frame vistas east and west towards the London Eye and the revitalised Battersea Power Station. Separation of the walkways results in a different viewing experience, through the loop at passing boats and out towards the city.</p>

<p>The design is sensitive both to the white stucco-fronted Regency architecture of Pimlico, and also to the sculptural and innovative ideas of the new Nine Elms. The cycle lanes are accessible through ramps, while there are segregated ramps and lifts for pedestrian and disabled users. The landing points touch lightly on either side forming a safe and seamless transition for all users. With its unobstructed views and spacious walkways.The Clip will become an attraction for both Londoners and visitors.</p>

			'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. &nbsp;This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p>

<p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p>

<p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. &nbsp;The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir. Access to the building is through a bridge over the reservoir.</p>

The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br />
The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p>

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p>

<p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><br />
The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p>

<p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p>

<p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p>

<p><strong>The Site</strong></p>

<p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p>

<p><strong>Elevated Plinths</strong></p>

<p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p>

The building is situated in the southern part of the city in the historical quarter rich in 18th century German, French and Italian architecture. The construction was completed at the end of 2011. The building was originally built in the 19th century as a private residence and has been used for government purposes since the 1960s. While the exterior maintains its classical attributes, the interior is strongly contemporary and demonstrates a definitive move away from the Soviet architecture of the past. &nbsp;</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>Architects of Invention worked on all elements of the interior, from the intriguing reception desk a standard rectangular table that is fissured with an arresting crevice that cuts deeply through the centre to the athletic track markings on the floor that guide visitors around the interactive displays for young visitors to the museum. Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure. The staircase is a steel frame with MDF panels and the frame, steps and handrails are finished with maple veneer. The seemingly endless twists and turns of the staircase refer to the limitless possibilities of human achievement.</p>

<p>Architect Nikoloz Japaridze explains “This work represents the idea of dynamics in sport with the abstract compositions of the staircase and the reception table. The first object you encounter is the introverted desk with its never-ending fissure, and then you meet the extroverted staircase like the open path to Olympus, where the summit meets its own reflection, inferring that striving never ends, that there is no limit to human achievement”.<cut><cut><cut></cut></cut></cut></p>

&nbsp;</p>

<p><cut>The Ministry building brings together a number of services - the Civil Registry Agency, National Agency of Public Registry, National Archives of Georgia, National Bureau of Enforcement and Notary Chamber - under one roof, creating a new blueprint for a government building. Inspired by a classical Greek form, the Ministry is fronted with regular columns, but, rather than a rendered façade, the columns support a canopy beneath which are two independent and contrasting glass volumes. The size of the Public Hall defines the first volume, which is rectangular and also contains office space.--- &nbsp;The second volume is oval and set apart from the rectangular block to accommodate a covered entrance and public walkway between the buildings, connecting the square to one of Ozurgeti’s major boulevards. Each form is double-storied and linked by an underground corridor. The exteriors and interiors are uniform white, adding to a sense of luminosity. The choice of 100% transparent low emission glass creates brightness inside the building.&nbsp;This building is contextual, with a clear relationship to the city and its surroundings.&nbsp; It invites public interaction and its presence modernises the square with its existing residential buildings, a former local art museum and a 400-seat theatre.</cut></p>

<p>Architects of Invention's work involved the complete demolition of an existing 4-storey office block, replacing it with a new 7-storey office building with a single level underground car park and public space at the base of the building.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The site boundary defined the shape of the building in plan, suggesting two rectilinear volumes - that are merged with an angular rotation and served by a common lift, occupying the liminal angular space between volumes. The façade responds to and emphasises the meeting point of the two blocks with an altered, diagonal rhythm of&nbsp; Jura marble fins that covers the building.&nbsp; Window panels are recessed from the fins by 40cm to give privacy and deflect solar glare.</p>

<p>The different heights of the buildings’ volumes create an interesting visual tension, as well as ensuring observation of local rights of light and showing sensitivity to local context in terms of the surrounding buildings.&nbsp; Thus the 7-storey volume responds to the higher blocks behind it, while the lower invites access via the courtyard, drawing attention to the entrance as there is no direct street access. Sunken terraces to the east and the west of the building can be accessed from the lobby.</p>

<p>A double-height lobby features an eight-metre long reception desk with a hot-desking facility area. There are sunken terraces to the East and the West of the building with access from the lobby. AI designed ‘Pringle’ light fittings in lightweight, translucent acrylic, which diffuses and reflects the downlighting above. The stairs, floor surfaces and reception desk are finished in Jura marble; the walls are finished with white, back-painted glass panels.</p>

<p>The first floor office cantilevers over the lobby.&nbsp; The four floors above are for the main staff body.&nbsp; The seventh floor is dedicated to senior management and has an outdoor terrace with views over Moscow.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The building refers to the values of ancient Greek canonical architecture with its simplicity, modesty, regularity, repetition and the singularity of its materiality. The building is arguably neo-classical but at the same time very contemporary in its setting and context. This building works like an architectural lever&nbsp;along both horizontal and vertical planes. The design relies upon the principle of juxtaposition&nbsp;but results in a singular body of architecture. The plot and context are wildly complex and the building is highly responsive to these.</p>

<p>The building's beauty is in its plan and its appearance. It is a singular "mass" of stone responding to the very tight conditions of the typologically and materially different buildings around it. It has very strong, but at the same time very subtle, presence. The architectural expression is dispersed by its uniform rythmic marble facade grid, emphasised by diagonal breakpoints at the juxtaposition of the building volumes. The breakpoints&nbsp; accentuate the dynamic relationship of the volumes suggesting organic transition of the facade grid.</p>

<p>The building uses an innovative facade system of Jura marble veneer fixed to ceramic tiles. This system is used here for the first time in Russia.</p>

<p>The building is appealing to the local architectural community,&nbsp; who value the cohesive nature of European architectural culture and expression (such as Mies van de Rohe's aphorism 'Less is more'). The building shows the strength and integrity in its design, materials and quality of collaboration.</p>

<p>The building is located to the North-East of Moscow city centre on a street whose heritage dates back to the 17<sup>th</sup> century.&nbsp; Originally called &nbsp;Pokrovskaya street, which referred to the liberation of Moscow by the Poles, it became Bakuninskaya in 1918 in honour of MA Bakunin (1814-1876). Many historical houses have survived to this day, including the 200-year-old house at number 7- 15. In 1886, architect IG Kondratenko built the first factory building on the street, on the plots of houses No. 74 - 76. In 1885 the architect P. P. Shcheglov built a house (No. 54), distinguished by an unusually ornate facade: the pediment was decorated with the head of a lion. In 1891, the architect I. S. Kuznetsov built a house at number 78 for the manufacturer Denisov and in 1904 completed No. 94 for the clergy of the churches of the Moscow Pokrovskaya Community of Sisters of Mercy.</p>

<p><strong>Building description</strong></p>

<p>Constructed 1927-8 by the civil engineer V. Patek the Telecom building at number 5 Bakuniskaya is a classic example of Russian industrial constructivism, one of three such identical buildings in Moscow. The four-story building is the letter "T" shape in plan. Its monumental, rendered façade bears the inscriptions - "Mail", "Telephone", "Telegraph". Architects of Invention have retained this main façade, facing onto Bakuninskaya street, restoring its original aesthetic with a light grey plaster render, whilst the windows, doors and metal fixtures are painted in a dark grey aluminium. &nbsp;The historic front section of the building now accommodates retail, cafes and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace. The rear has been reconfigured to provide two large lobby areas at ground floor level, housed in separate cores.&nbsp; These give access to the apart-hotel and are accessed via a double height entrance in the centre of the rear façade.</p>

<p>A new independent volume, with a striking, triangular, cantilevered façade, now hovers above the existing historic building.&nbsp; The contrast between old and new is emphasised through materials – the new is a large grid of modular, metallic components and stained glass – and through the dramatic contemporary form.&nbsp; The volumes are connected by a sky-garden,and there are balconies for every room.</p>

<p>There is a single level underground car park with 65 spaces on site.</p>

<p><strong>Structure</strong></p>

<p>The buildings are based on concrete load-bearing, sheer walls and a two core structure. The new volume cantilevers from the south and north by 13m and 7.5m respectively. The transferred slab underneath the new volume is formed as a caisson superstructure.</p>

The expression of thoughts, unconstrained by technology leads to a liberation of thought itself. Just as ink made it possible to record and translate thought, not only in the form of words as symbols, but also in the generation of stories.

Parametricism denies human input except for a methodologic matrix control.

<p>The new residential development is positioned in Staines-upon-Thames at the edge of the river Thames on top of an existing two level car park adjacent to the historic Staines Bridge. The south-west elevation faces the embankment, the south-east is positioned on Bridge Street and the building faces Clarence Street to the East. There are adjacent buildings to the site: Strata House to the North, Edge Court residential building to the East, The Staines Bridge to the East and Swan Hotel to the West.</p>

<p>Concept</p>

<p>The structure represents the idea of a circular forum encapsulating the spirit of community and integration. It speaks to the surroundings by positively embodying the concept of connection: between city, river and the historic Staines Bridge. The emphasis on integration in this design means city and residential units are given to each other. Likewise, the building itself opens 360 degrees to the city allowing for most of the flats to have a view of the river.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p><br />
Urban Strategy</p>

<p>Best practice in upgrading townscapes must include developing and restoring the centre to attract visitors and create a community and leisure hub. With this in mind, we have opened the building to allow easy ingress and egress and to attract the local population to enjoy the building and the views it offers. The building is designed to interact positively with its setting and should form a focal point for new community activity.</p>

<p>- regeneration Clarence street</p>

<p>- Leisure hub</p>

<p>- stop for Windsor - Hampton Court route - cyclists and boats</p>

<p>- landmark design</p>

<p>- creating public spaces</p>

<p>- animating embankment</p>

<p>- using arches under the bridge</p>

<p>- not obstructing views for strata</p>

<p>Building Description</p>

<p>The building is seven stories high with descending terraces at the front, which offer views towards the river from the internally situated apartments. While the building is foremost designated as residential, part of the ground floor is occupied with space for retail. The building’s round shape creates public spaces on the ground floor opening to the north–east between the Strata House and the new development and also from the south-east corner on the embankment by the bridge.</p>

<p>Both entrances to the building for pedestrians and vehicles are on the north-west side. The car park for 126 vehicles is situated on two levels with access via two separate ramps for each level. The first level is half-sunken to decrease the height of the carp park and as a precaution against flooding.</p>

<p>There is a private terrace for the residents on top of the car park. It combines a balanced combination of greenery and architectural features most prominently, a water feature. There is a wide staircase from this terrace leading down to the embankment (reverse access is protected) offering an integral public recreational seating area. The first floor flats have individual fenced gardens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The façade is based on a regular unified module which forms balconies above the units below. Each unit corresponds to the internal organisation of flats whether they are one, two or three-bedroom flats.</p>

<p>The resulting building is very well situated in the surroundings opening wide views towards the river and the city. It offers a dynamic presence, offering a volume and facade which are constantly changing. The building forms two different qualities of public space – the recreational and the urban. The building shape is an ideal circle and therefore lends itself to a uniformity, using segments - which is very simple and yet offers the complexity needed for that specific urban situation. The access and views are placed in order to maximize interactivity with the surrounding city.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Environment</p>

<p>The building is designed using CLT and Glue-lam beams, which is low maintenance and long lasting, and will have a low environmental impact, due to the minimal use of natural resources and the passive means of comfort conditioning. Accessibility of the building allows daylight and ventilation to permeate through the building, which was designed specifically for low environmental impact.</p>

<p>Internally, comfort conditions are passively controlled using natural cross ventilation, exposed thermal mass, and a building envelope made out of glass. The building also incorporates recycled materials including a wooden block courtyard floor utilising timber from reclaimed city power poles; concrete and pavers that utilise a high percentage of recycled material and fly ash for cement and aggregate replacement; LED lighting is used extensively in the building.</p>

<p>The proposed scheme is designed in a contemporary architectural style. Its volumetric composition reflects the characteristics of the sloping landscape. The progression of floor plans follows the functional sequence of the internal organisation. The layout opens up to the Southern aspect in order to embrace the views and capture the sunlight. The contemporary style of the proposed scheme reflects that of Charters with it’s ‘Art Deco’ white facades, orthogonal volumetric composition, flat roofs and glass balustrades.</p>

The two dramatic 25 storey staggered towers, hung with gardens at every level, give all occupants and visitors access to private and shared terraces and a spacious rooftop garden. The entire block is made of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) as an exercise in highly sustainable construction.</p>

<p>The proposal suggests a new model for live / work / play, where the units are small, but there are large shared facilities for communal living and working, including music recording studios and small rental units for startups. The scheme proposes ground floor retail onto High Street Bordesley.</p>

The new link between historic Pimlico and the cutting-edge development at Nine Elms should express the city’s ambitions for those neighbourhoods and for London as a whole.</p>

<p>On the south side, a gateway that will define a modern development; on the north side, a seamless entrance to classic Pimlico and Victoria beyond. Over the river, two asymmetrical arches gracefully soar over a continuous loop a striking geometry that refers to London’s other bridges while reproducing none of them.</p>

<p>Dedicated cycling lanes mean that The Clip will become a vital artery for commuters. The separate pedestrian paths and public realm frame new perspectives on the city making it a place to linger, meet friends and enjoy the view. The vertical arches and the horizontal loop frame vistas east and west towards the London Eye and the revitalised Battersea Power Station. Separation of the walkways results in a different viewing experience, through the loop at passing boats and out towards the city.</p>

<p>The design is sensitive both to the white stucco-fronted Regency architecture of Pimlico, and also to the sculptural and innovative ideas of the new Nine Elms. The cycle lanes are accessible through ramps, while there are segregated ramps and lifts for pedestrian and disabled users. The landing points touch lightly on either side forming a safe and seamless transition for all users. With its unobstructed views and spacious walkways.The Clip will become an attraction for both Londoners and visitors.</p>

			'content' => '<p>The concept of this tower suggests the volcano and optical phenomena such as the halo and the sun pillar. The ideas originate with the early modernists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, Yakov Chernikhov and Malevich. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Chile has an enormous amount of active volcanoes and this tower evokes that seismic dynamism with its smoke plume vertical extension that seems to twist and rise. Likewise, the light emitted at night by the viewing platform is reminiscent of the wide glow from an active eruption. The evocation here is more about spreading than upward movement, such as a volcano does as it emits its fiery contents. The relationship of the tower to the statue of Saint Mary is important also in that the horizontal emphasis does not represent a dominating presence but rather a shared mountainous space. The mountain’s gentle slopes are resonant with the viewing platform’s disposition that erases a hierarchy along the skyline to Saint Mary.</p>

<p>---</p>

<p>The viewing platform also suggests an optical halo which seems to float in the sky, suspended only by cables. At night, the halo like shape hovers above the mountain peak with only a series of red lights shining above it. The halo has always been considered as a feature that highlights and inspires awe, in phenomena as far reaching as weather patterns, photography, painting, the physical sciences and religion. &nbsp;This tower, with its strong and simple design is unlike any other tower in the world (see our scale comparison page for images of towers that correspond to it).</p>

<p>This presents a potential for iconicity in a global metropolis such as Santiago. The design also emphasises the structural ingenuity required for such a structure and which is very important in a seismic zone 9. Furthermore, the displacements of form and dynamism of the design make this tower very suitable for one of the toughest urban seismic territories on earth. The form also suggests diversity and unity at the same time. The shifting shapes along the vertical axis create a sort of tension, akin to Chile’s own cultural tension between its Incan and Mapuche cultural roots and later European connections. But the circle of the viewing platform is a uniting form too, cancelling the connotations of conquest and domination that vertical towers can suggest. The vertical projection demonstrates tension and dynamism and the lower halo form intimates inclusivity and circumspection. While a halo suggests sanctity in religion, it is essentially dualistic, also heavily represented in optical sciences. It generally refers to the phenomenon of light circular dispersal which of course refers us directly to the function of the structure as a center of signal emission. The circular form also echoes Chile’s beloved rodeo and such a prominent ring-shape on the city's skyline may suggest the Olympic logo, commending Santiago as a future host city for the sporting event.</p>

<p>The tower: The tower is organised as a vertical displacement of the programme emphasising its horizontality rather than verticality. Its homogenous materiality refers to its sculptural nature rather than simply suggesting its functional form it combines the motivations of both as a landmark form and a functional communication tower. Each programme is easily recognised by its shifted mass, allowing recognition of each point of utility. The significance of its form is dominated by a large 80 meter diameter ring hovering above the mountain peak. At night, the illuminated ring acts as a halo around the mountain peak, mitigating its functional significance with a subtle presence in the night time panorama. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Structural Philosophy: The proposed structural form pushes the boundaries of structural engineering by creating a hybrid reinforced concrete/steel tube with an array of steel and Kevlar guys to brace the slender tower. &nbsp;The off center trussed ring creates an outdoor viewing platform whilst also creating an opportunity for small changes in guy direction to the ground level allowing the guys to be arranged so that certain cables are always in tension in a seismic event to provide resistance to the main tower core.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The site: The communication tower’s predominant form is oriented to the North-West on the axis of Zoologico Nacional de Chile, Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion and Square. There are five pedestrian and vehicle routes to the site (see below). The main car park space is located on South-East slope, around 100 meters below the main entrance offering a serpentine walkway up to the tower. The base of the mountain top is levelled following the contours of the mountain. The created surface is filled with a water reservoir. Access to the building is through a bridge over the reservoir.</p>
