Krov Beton hale ne pripada samo hali, već je deo šireg sistema koji povezuje grad i reku. Nadogradnja hale se vrši kroz otvaranje njenog krova korisnicima. Kroz prostor su distribuirana polja – minimalne jedinice sposobne da prime predviđenu funkciju, koje mogu funkcionisati kao izolovani sistemi ili kao deo veće grupe. Promenom konfiguracije same jedinice i načina na koji se povezuje sa susednim menja se konfiguracija većeg sistema i time odgovara na različite prostorne potrebe. Materijalizacija je ostvarena nitima obešenim o tanke šestougaone okvire. Niti kao deo linijskog sistema postaju sredstvo definisanja prostora. Promena njihove gustine utiče na jačinu granice, ali ne dozvoljava potpuni prekid kontakta sa okruženjem.

Roof of the Concrete hall belongs not only to the hall, but is a part of a wider system that connects the city and the river. The hall’s extension is made by opening its roof space for users. Users are offered with covered spaces - minimum units capable of receiving the predicted function, which can operate as isolated systems, or as part of a larger group. By changing the configuration of the unit itself and the way it connects to the adjacent unit, configuration of a larger system changes thus responding to a different spatial needs. Materialization is accomplished through threads which are hung to the thin hexagonal frames. Threads, as part of the linear system, are becoming an instrument of defining the space. Changing threads density will affect the strength of its boundaries, but will never separate it completely from its surroundings.

The project focuses on activation of the roof of the Beton hala by connecting it with the existing pedestrian routes. This creates space for leisure and recreation which would use roof’s big potential by adding uses and opening new vistas. The topography of the structure is derived form several paths which connect one end of the building to the other. The network of circulations connects key points and creates curves which establish the geometry of the structure.
 

Projekat nadogradnje Beton hale fokusira se na aktiviranje ravnog krova hale povezivanjem sa postojećim pešačkim komunikacijama. Time bi se stvorio ambijent za odmor i rekreaciju koji bi iskoristio veliki potencijal krova hale dodavanjem sadržaja i otvaranjem novih vizura. Nova topografija na krovu definisana je putanjama staza koja se pružaju od jednog do drugog kraja hale. Staze spajaju određene reperne tačke i formiraju prostorne krive koje definisu geometriju nove strukture.

The roof of the existing Beton Hala building is recognized as a high quality but unused public space on the River Sava, with great potential to become a city beach. The space is defined with an interconnected system of poles whose height is changeable and depends on the needs and action of the users. The poles create a grid covered by fabric. The roof construction created in this way makes the space dynamic and flexible making it possible for the users to create the space suitable to their needs.

Krov postojećeg objekta Beton Hale je prepoznat kao kvalitetan ali neiskorišćen javni prostor na obali reke Save sa brojnim karakteristikama gradske plaže. Prostor je definisan pravilnim rasterom stubova koji formiraju mrežu kvadratnih polja prekrivenih tkaninom. Visina stubova je promenljiva i zavisi od potreba i delovanja čoveka. Na taj način formirana nadstrešnica čini prostor fleksibilnim i dinamičnim ostavljajući mogućnost korisniku da svojim delovanjem kreira prostor po želji.

Ideja je da se u okviru Beton hale zadrze već postojeće namene usluga, poslovanje i kultura, i poveća upotrebni kapacitet objekta. Kao mehanizam za kontrolu ovakve strategije upotrebljena je  prostorna spirala koja formira opnu duž citavog objekta, i čije oscilacije (širenje i skupljanje) definišu odnos posotjeceg i dogradjenog volumena. Na mestima gde se namena menja spirala se prekida i deformiše  u zavisnosti od potreba. Istovremeno, ostvareno je dobro osvetljenje jedinica, inteziviran je kontakt medju nivoima i sa rekom, i šetalište je prošireno.

The idea is to keep the existing uses leisure, work and culture and expand their capacities. A new envelope, in the form of a spiraling strip is proposed and used as a mechanism to establish control over the expansion strategy.  Oscillations in strips'  width and height are used to establish relationship between the existing and new built volume.  the strip break and transforms according to change in use and user's requirements. Simultaneously, the lighting is natural lighting is  improved, more connections between two main levels are formed and public esplanade is widened.

The project seeks to provide spatial improvements and enable further development to the building according to already established behavioral patterns of its users. I wanted to create transformable office space that may be used differently at times. The idea was to hold on to all the existing pillars and use them as referential greed and than add rotating panels to achieve adaptability in the internal organisation by creating rooms, landscape office space and atriums. Atriums are public spaces connected to the public esplanade.

Projekat je nastao iz analize postojećih adaptacija na Beton hali i pokušaja da se ovaj princip poboljša. Namera je da se stvore poslovni prostori koji će imati mogućnost transformacije i korišćenja u drugačije svrhe. Ideja je  da se zadrži postojeća konstrukcija sa svim unutrašnjim stubovima i da se oni iskoriste kao početak projekta. Postavljanjem panela koji mogu da se rotiraju oko stubova stvorena je mogućnost pregrađivanja i povezivanja  prostora, i formiranja atriuma koji su javnog karaktera i u direktnoj vezi sa setalistem.

Funkcija nadogradnje Beton hale je poslovni inkubator, vrsta organizacije poslovnog prostora koji je izdeljen na jedinice gde postoji mogucnost zauzimanja jedne ili vise jednica od strane jednog korisnika. Sistemom krugova i njihovim presecima se u osnovi definisu zidovi i tavanica koji sugerisu podelu prostora. Tavanica kasnije dobija formu konusa koji medjusobnim povezivanjem grade slozenije sisteme. Ovakvom formom prostor se deli na jedinice tako da se one mogu grupisati na razlicite nacine.

The function of the expansion of the Concrete hall is a business incubator, the type of organization of business space that is divided into units where there is possibility of occupying one or more units by one user. The system of circles and their cross sections basically defines interconnected and build more complex systems. This form is used to divide space into units so that they can be grouped in different ways.

0910 SP snowflake l-systems

The general idea of this work is to explore and propose use of L-systems as a new form of diagram research that would be applicable in the experimental architectural programs and practices. The survey is made in a light of L-systems as a form of technical, analytical and visual, architectural and theoretical thinking. Selected generic principle is assumed as a rule, method of functioning based on the initial set of parameters translated into an algorithm and guidelines for the spatial and programmatic architectural design and interaction within it. Parametric variations in geometry gained on the basis of the L-systems logic are shown through a sequence. Pre-defined rules are adopted and modified in order to obtain a final three- dimensional form. Spatial geometry is defined by the string, the distance between components, alterable angle and the number of iterations. Materialization is achieved by complex panel organized in the initial hexagon; more complex modules are established in the physical model of the resulting solution, with a possibility of changing the defined parameter on the model itself. _L-systems; Rhino; grasshopper; scripting

Concrete is used more than any other construction material in the world. We have spent the first part of the summer term working on the design for the concrete wall, 700 meter long and 3 meter tall. The purpose of the exercise is to develop understanding of the relationship between the fabrication processes and the design intent. Work process was structured around the series of plaster models meant to simulate casting techniques used in the building industry. We have chosen concrete for its plasticity and tactile diversity. Selected projects apply varied casting techniques and use moulds differently to produce texture effects. Some designs depend on the physical properties of the materials used for their moulds. Others take advantage of the clever use of mould geometry to produce non repetitive configurations. Results are displayed at our image gallery: 0910M5WorkshopZeed

Beton se korisiti više of bilo kog drugog građevinskog elementa. Prvi deo letnjeg semestra smo posvetili dizajnu betosnkog zida, dužine 700 metara i visine 3m. Svrha vežbe je razvoj razumevanja procesa materijalizacije, odnoso veze između postavke prostorne ideje i njene reazlicije. Radni proces je struktuiran kroz proizvdonju serije gipsanih modela kojima je simulirana tehnika izlivanja betona u građevinskoj industriji. Izbarali smo beton zbog njegove plastičnosti i taktilne raznovrsnosti. Izabrani projekti proizilaze iz specifičnih tehnika izlivanja i koriste oplatu da bi postigli različite teksture. Geometrija nekih rešenja zavisi od fizičkih karakteristika materijala upotrebljenog za izradu njihovog kalupa. Druga rešenja koriste geometriju oplate za postizanje kontinulne diferencijacije forme na ekonomičan način

0910M5 Summer Term Agenda

Plan za letnji semestar se nadovezuje na 'Daleko od kuće' agendu za školku goidnu 0910 . Prostorni okvir semestralnog projekta je postojeći objekat Beton Hale u Beogradu koji je u jednom svom delu već doživeo uspešnu prenamenu i rekonstrukciju, a programski okvir projekta se odnosi na dalje razvijanje potencijala objekta uvođenjem kompatibilnih sadržaja. Predviđena je prostorna ekspanzija u vidu nove etaže, ondosno novog sloja koji pored povećanja upotrebne površine ima za cilj uspsotavljanje adekvatanijeg odnos sa okruženjem, rekom sa jedne i Beogradskom tvrđavom sa druge strane. Predloženi pristup se zasniva na razvijanju generativne logike dizajna i razumevanju fenomenologije materijalnosti i forme kroz sinhronizaciju organizacionih, geometrijskih, strukturalnih i energetskih principa oblikovanja.

Summer term plan will continue developing 'Far from Home' agenda set for the 0910 school year. The focus is on the Concrete Hall in Belgrade, a river front building already being transformed from a warehouse to a hub of versatile uses. We will be looking to introduce new and compatible uses and explore any potential for further expansion. The benefits of introducing an additional layer to the existing volume will be assed against contextual relation with the river on one side and medieval fortress on the other. Suggested take on the topic will be based on the understanding of the material systems and form making though synchronization of organizational, geometric, structural and energy efficient properties.

The exhibition 4of7 Architecture at O3one Art Space, March 2nd

The exhibition 4of7 Architecture at O3one Art Space, March2nd-10th 2010

Izložba 4od7 Arhitektura prikazuje aktuelnu produkciju istoimenog arhitektonskog studija. Kroz seriju maketa, ilustracija i crteža, na izložbi će paralelno biti prikazani arhitektonski projekati koji su u izgradnji, kao i rezultati rada sa studentima na Arhitektonskom Fakultetu u Beogradu.

Djordje Stojanović i Vlada Pavlović formiraju arhitektonski studio 4od7 2007 godine sa pocetkom rada na regeneraciji i prenameni objekta 'Dunavski Cvet' u Beogradu. Tokom 2008 godine, Milutin Cerović se priključuje studiju u izradi modularnog projekat za pedijatrijsku kliniku u Istočnoj Africi čija prostorna konfiguracija ima mogućnost rasta i sposobnost adaptacije prema kontekstualnim uslovljenostima. Iste godine, 4od7 učestvuje na Arhiteksnskom Bijenalu u Londonu sa prokjektom 'Snow City' u kome koriste topografske formacije kao jezik arhitekture i otvara polje delovanja između prirodnog i izgrađenog okruženja. 4od7 uspostavlja interese za ekološke principe održivog razvoja koje aplicira na aktuelne rezidencijalne projekte na Tari i Kopaoniku, produbljujući razumevanje odnosa između prirode i arhitekture. Trenutno, 4od7 radi na projektu za kolektivno stanovanje u Bejrutu i razivija rešenje za kastomizaciju masovne prozivodnje nameštaja.

0910 Edouard Francois in town

Supernatural NGO brings  Edouard Francois to University of Belgrade where he will be giving a talk at 18h today . The event is a part of the ongoing workshop hosted by 4of7 at KC Grad.

Edouard François and his team of architects and urbanists are working on landscape design and graphic design projects. François became known to the public in 2000 with ‘the building that grows’, built in Montpellier on the banks of the Léz and widely publicised by the ministry of culture’s campaign on quality in architecture, followed by the ‘Flower Tower’ in Paris (a building, bordering a public park, completely veiled in white bamboo) and the ‘Fouquet’s Barrière’ a 80-room hotel, located on the Champs Elysees.

The information gathered to start the project comes from the two main aspects: topographic condition or steepness of the terrain and a visual presence of the sea. Design process, structured in the algorithmic way, begins with the formation of the polygonal mesh onto which subsequent data is transposed. In a series of steps, polygonal mesh lends itself to become an architectural form. Traffic ways are accommodate in a gradual transformation of the terrain. Key isolines are extruded to become front facades of the housing units with unobstructed views of the sea. Cascading nature of the form provides for the segregation between the private and communal spaces.


Informacije od kojih pocinje razmisljanje o projektu se svrstavaju u dva aspekta: topgrafskog stanja odnosno izrazenog pada terena i vizulenog prisustva morskog horizonta. Process projektovanja je struktuiran u obliku agloritma i pocinje formiranjem poligonalne mreze pomocu koje se u daljim koracima manipulise relevantnim informacijama. Kroz seriju deformacija, mreza postaje arhitektonska forma. Pravci kretanja nastaju prilagodjavanjem terena. Kljucne izohipse su pretvorene u fasade stambenih objekata koje su okrenute prema morskom horizontu. Kaskadirajuca forma omogucava segregaciju prostora na privatne i zajednicke segmente.

Rijeka fringes are populated with high-rise residential rise buildings form sixties. This project adopts the ‘tower’ solution for low cost housing and develops the idea further with an aim to contribute to city’s silhouette. The model is geared to provide a high number of housing units overlooking the Kvarner Bay while several configurations have been tested for their visibility form other parts of the city. Number and volume of the residential buildings are interdependent aiming to maintain the fixed number of units while different formal options were examined.

Na obodima grada Rijeke se nalaze stambeni soliteri iz sezdesetih godina. Ovaj projekat razvija ideju o visokim objektima i viseporodicnom stanovanju sa ciljem do doprinese u daljem razvijanju siluete grada. Usvojeni model ima za cilj da obezbedi veliki broj stambenih jedinica sa neometanim pogledima na Kvarnerski zaliv. Razlicite konfiguracije su testirane prema njihovim vidljivostima sa drugih delova grada. Broj i oblik stambenih tornjeva su dovedeni u proporicionalni odnos tako da je isti broj stambenih jedinica zadrzan pri ispitivanju razlicitih formalnih mogucnosti.

The project geometry is developed around the uniform tilling system. Initially, rhombitrihexagonal pattern is applied along terrain’s isolines to form a set of cascading platforms. According to individual preferences, dwellings are configured with the use of two planar components, triangles and quadrants. The project has a potential to change, as system may adapt to varied requirements of its users.

Prva faza projekta se odnosi na prilagođavanje rombitriheksagonalne mreže izohipsama na lokaciji u cilju stvaranja kasakada koje omogućavaju bolje korišćenje prostora i otvaranja vizura ka moru. Nakon uvođenja kolskih i pešačkih komunikacija korišćenjem dva geometrijska oblika, kvadrata i trougla, formiraju se parcele. Stambene jedinice se projektuju u skladu sa individulanim potrebama korisnika. Svaka od njih nastaje kombinovanjem pomenuta dva geometrijska oblika uz poštovanje određenih principa kako bi se istakli opšti kvaliteti projekta kao što su velike privatne zelene površine, pogled ka moru i adaptilnost jedinica. Ovakvim principom projektovanja otvara se mogucnost za dalju kastomizaciju prostora.

This is an attempt to reconcile high density ratio of the development and individual needs for each dwelling unit including the access to the private garden. Existing terrain configuration is transposed into the geometric pattern of the project. Buildings vary in their size according to their internal programs but also according to their relation with adjacent forms. Each unit is granted a sea view and easy access to local amenities, much like to the traditional communities located in this part of the Adriatic Coast.

Projekat tezi da pronadje ravnotezu izmedju potrebe za visokom gusitnom izgradjenosti, odnosno boljom iskoriscenoscu zemljista i individualnih potreba svake stambene jedinice, ukljucujuci i posed privatne zelene povrsine. Postojeca konfiguracija terana je prevedena u geometrijsku logiku projekata. Objekti variraju po svojoj velcini prema internim potrebama ali i prema odnosu sa svojim okruzenjem. Svaka jedinica ima pogled na more i pristup lokalnim prodavnicama i zajednickim prostorima, prema principima koji su tradicionalno primenjivani u stvaranju zajednica duz ovog dela Jadranske obale.

Relationship between the neighbouring buildings is central to the project. The existing topography with the projected allotment is represented as a polygonal mesh. Its tessellation relates to the inclination of the terrain and the most logical communication routes. Housing units are taking shape of the truncated pyramids with their bases belonging to polygonal patches. Their peaks are positioned and adjusted so that buildings do not obstruct each other view of the sea. In result, all buildings have individual characteristics while belonging to the same community.

Odnos izmedju susednih objekata je centralna ideja projekta. Postojeca topografija terena i raspodela gradjevinskih parcela su reinterpetirane kao poligonalna mreza. Oblik poligona je izveden prema nagibu terena i linijama komunikacije, tako da oni cine uskladjenu celinu. Prema uspostavljenom protokolu, svaka od parcela postaje gabarit forme koja se razvija prema principima organizacije stambenog prostora i uspostavljanja odnosa sa okruzenjem. Jedinice imaju oblik zarubljenih piramida ciji su vrhovi pozicionirani tako da one medjusobno ne zaklanjaju poglede ka moru. Kao rezultat nastaju objekti sa individulanim karakteristikama u okviru jedne formalne strategije.
