DR1988:0015:001-029
Description:
Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathias Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. Primarily formal studies and other material relating to projects for buildings but also includes biographical material. Includes 17 drawings, 12 photographs, 9 prints, and 4 sheets of text. Most of the drawings are studies of architectonic massing of forms, a few are identified by project name, such as "Das Maler Haus" (the Painter's house) and the Christian Science Cathedral. Design of the subject of the photograph, drawing, or reproduction is attributed to Carl Krayl, following Ungers's attributions, unless otherwise stated. Many of the works in this group are inscribed with the name "Krayl" in blue ball-point pen; this might be the hand-writing of Frau L. Krayl who wrote the note on DR1988:0015:026 R/V. The photographs DR1988:0015:001 to DR1988:0015:006 are of the same model. Tim Benson has suggested that the model is a competition entry for changes to Alexanderplatz, Berlin (Shubert). DR1988:0015:007 to DR1988:0015:009 illustrate different views of the same plaster model. DR1988:0015:010 appears to be a photograph of a model for "Das Maler Haus", which is represented by the prints DR1988:0015:024 and DR1988:0015:025.

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.

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.

AP056.S1.1997.PR04
Description:
This project series documents Richmond City Hall in Richmond, British Columbia from 1997-2000. The office identified the project number as 9710, although some project materials also refer to the project number as 9709. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, was a joint venture between Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects and Vancouver-based Hotson Bakker Architects. The project consisted of a new civic space at the corner of Granville Avenue and No 3 Road, built on the grounds of the original city hall, that included a three-component building. These components included the circular Council Chamber at the forefront, an eight-storey administrative tower, and a long, two-storey Meeting House all surrounding a new civic square. The Meeting House connected the interior elements to outdoor spaces, which include a series of courtyards, gardens and water features. [1] The material palette for the building's exterior included an aluminum curtain wall with several types of glass finishes and wood accents. This project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, paintings, textual records and a project model dating from 1997-1999. The drawings are mostly original sketches, but some plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are also included. There are also a number of presentation materials, which include text on the design concept, digital renderings, photographs of the model and paintings.
