Description:
Series 1, Water Flux and Scrambled Flat, 2002-2010, documents the conception and evolution of a project that was originally a farm building and later became a geology and glaciology museum and research center focused on the Swiss Alps. The project was never realized. R&Sie(n) conceptualized Scrambled Flat as an experimental farm. The project goal was to reconcile European Union’s agricultural regulations, imposing a separation between animal and human living, to the community of Évolène traditional way of living, contiguously with animals, benefiting from the resources they offer. As conceived, Scrambled Flat creates an environment where fluidity between the existence of the animals and the humans is materialized. The size of the form is also adapted from a typical local rural house and exploits the heat of the animals and the insulation of the hay. For this project, R&Sie(n) approached the mayor of the community with the design proposition. The mayor then called for a competition, while also changing the program to an ecology museum and research center illustrating the local effects of global warming and the thawing of the Alps. R&Sie(n) won the competition with Water Flux, a reinterpretation of Scrambled Flat. The project was intended to uncover and exorcise the anxieties of ecological disaster, and the principle of flux related to seasonal change and, more broadly, climate change. The firm designed rooms that reproduce the geological and meteorological environment of the high mountains making it visible and experimental, offering refrigerated spaces for art installations and scientific demonstrations. The concept was also to build with the use of new technologies such as digital modelling, point scanning, and computer numerical control (CNC), combined with ancient local knowledge of knocking on trees to decide which specific pines have the best wood for construction. The building is designed to be constructed with local lamellar wood milled by nearby CNC. The resulting parts would be used for the structure, the insulation, the waterproofing and both the interior and exterior finishes. The design includes a grille wrapping the building, reproducing the profile of traditional houses and enclosure and making it possible to hold the snow inside a typo-morphological imprint. Therefore, the transformable envelope of the building reacts to the rhythm of the seasons. In the winter, the structure would appear like a solid cut-out of ice and snow, with cavities similar to those found in glaciers. In the summer, it would resemble piles of stones used in these areas to make borders. A small pool would collect rainwater and supply it to an interior artificial snowmaking system designed for the gallery. Transformation of the water is an integral part of the design. The records contain images of plans, sections, details for the structure of the façade, renderings, plans of the engineered structure, and photographs documenting the conception of the models with the CNC machinery. The Rhino 3D modelling files are also part of the records along with AutoCAD models and a video documenting the process. The records contain two physical models: a smaller polymer model at 1:20 scale representing the whole structure of the building, and a larger 1:1 latch wood fragment representing detail of the structure in its integrality.

Guardiola House
AP143.S4.D73
Description:
File documents the unexecuted project for Guardiola House, Cádiz, Spain. Material in this file was produced in 1988. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic material, presentation drawings, working drawings, models, and textual records. Drawings by Eisenman include conceptual sketches (DR1994:0147:001-004), and a drawing and final presentation drawing of the transformation process (DR1994:0147:279; DR1994:0147:635). Drawings by Eisenman's office include: samples for serigraphed drawings (DR1994:0147:644-669); drawings for house model construction (DR1994:0147:387-438); and presentation drawings in coloured film on KC5 (DR1994:0147:635-643). A schematic set shows an early scheme for the house: a site and situation plan, two longitudinal sections, floor and roof plans, transverse sections and a section showing construction materials (DR1994:0147:361-367). Four "record blueprint sets" of working drawings are dated between April and May 1988 (DR1994:0147:606-609). Documents include a list of security procedures for Eisenman's office, a schedule for Guardiola House, a report from Static engineering firm, Barcelona, a copy of the Aedes Gallery catalogue on Guardiola House, a filing index and list of the drawings, an address directory, a description of the project, correspondance, and a contract between the architect and client (DR1994:0147:1069-1071). Photographs and photocopies document an early working model of the house which no longer exists (photographs: DR1994:0147:1054-1056; photocopies: DR1994:0147:1056-1067). Miscellaneous drawings in this group include: an incomplete set of blueprints of Alvaro Siza's project for the same site (DR1994:0147:1073); a set of working drawings by Spanish architects for a project in Barcelona which Eisenman referred to when developing this project (DR1994:0147:1074); and Eisenman's designs for a lamp and carpet for Cleto Munari (not part of this project; DR1994:0147:894-1049). Conceptual drawings include plans, site plans, elevations, sections, and axonometrics - mostly black felt-tip pen and/or graphite on white or yellow tracing paper. Design development drawings include plans, site plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometrics - some graphite on tracing vellum; sets - many blueline prints on wove paper; and reprographic copies - some photocopies on tracing vellum or wove paper. Presentation drawings include plans, elevations, and sections - all translucent adhesive coloured film on stats; reprographic copies - all stats; and screen prints on wove paper. Working drawings include plans, site plans, elevations, sections, and details - some pen and black ink on mylar; sets - many coloured pencil on blueline prints on wove paper; and reprographic copies - some photocopies on wove paper. Furniture drawings include plans and elevations for a lamp and carpets - many black felt-tip pen on yellow tracing paper; reprographic copies - mostly photocopies on wove paper; and a manuscript - one typescript on wove paper. Parts of models include - all grey paint on cardboard; photographs of a model; and reprographic copies - all photocopies of photographs of models. Textual records include project files, notes, correspondence, and project files - mostly typescripts on wove paper; sets include copies of drawings - many photocopies on wove paper; and reprographic copies - one photocopy on wove paper. Models include one grey paint on wood and cardboard model.
