I decided to fill in the gaps between Hverfisgata 42 and Klapparstígur 25-27, and Hverfisgata 42-46. Because I was working with Hverfisgata 42, that is now an art gallery, I wanted to fill in the gaps with something related, so I decided to make a new headquarter for NYLO.<br />I did not change the look of Hverfisgata 42, but I changed it a little bit inside and did connect it to Hverfisgata 44 and to the new building I designed. The main entrance is now through Hverfisgata 44, and that will be a bookshop called Úturdúr, owned by NYLO. The 2nd and 3rd floor will be open workshops, and the 4th and 5th floor will be residential.<br />The 1st floor in the new building will be a sandwich bar, the purpose of that is to get more people to visit NYLO and make it more open for public. The 2nd floor will be an art gallery, 3rd floor will have an open office space, and on the 4th floor there will be a conference room, two big offices and a terrace.<br />The houses in the backyard will be residential but owned by NYLO, and the courtyard can be used as an outdoor exhibition space. From the 2nd floor you can go out to a terrace. There you can eat your sandwich, drink coffee, read a book or just relax.<br />I wanted to use a semi see-through wire net, to fill in the gaps, so you can see that there is something going on in the back. The space between Hverfisgata 44 and the wire net will be used as an exhibition space. I also put the wire net on the new building so you get the feeling that this is the same building surrounding the existing one.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13DBVYDJY5jT-f8vFFgIlG4YtK1xtQ-Qi3YxaCxOeYVdjsFwKaLbUOG1nqSifOt42dX3QhinQbSe7r04OM-fS1flfk4k1IxqQxPCp5IPA-DfXvEFjr8CwPPuR7VlhUUBBE9fJ_cDgYk2g/s1600-h/Skil+%C3%A1+neti%C3%B0_Page_1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

The existing house on the site is a three storey post-modern building. The area from Klapparstígur down to Ingólfsstræti is my favorite part of the street. All the buildings are very old, beautiful and are a part of Icelandic history except for Framsóknarhúsið at Hverfisgata 33. I think the style, location on the site and the form do not connect with the houses around, especially the Danish embassy, which is a classical white concrete building. The house appears like a big mass or a wall beside the embassy. The activity in the house is very sealed off and the location needs more life and people. I want to bring young people to the street so I decided to do a hostel and a coffee laundromat.<br />In the project I keep the main structure of the existing house. I cut into the form on the west side of the building, beside the Danish embassy because there it is often sunny. Therefore it is ideal to have an outside sitting area. On that side I have large glass window to bring the light into the house. On the east side I also cut the form to bring light into the darker part of the building were the laundromat and hostel rooms are located.</div><br /><div align="center">On ground floor there is a café and laundromat and the hostel lobby.

There is nobody in the street. How to change that? My contribution is to choose an empty space between two houses, then to create a structure for a farmers´ market. A dead zone will become a commercial centre where people look for fresh products. The structure will connect the two houses, Hverfisgata 78 and Hverfisgata 82.<br />The market will be covered. An adjacent wall of house number 82 will seem to be falling down. Corresponding adjacent wall of house number 78 will seem to be starting to fall, the lowest part will seem like torn out to the middle of the ground.The market is in two parts. One is in the new building, the other is part of house number 78. The market is on one floor with a high ceiling. Behind the market is a little square.</div><br /><div>facade view from Hverfisgata <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329140291530699602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5LFXnDNBbFHiopPXOxv-450YOxkzdHi1iI2EU41-pnD66somb7Zsca6ba1-bo4QyUJ95-9bhlDh1kct7ygDO5JNEl2UqI6gKxdKk0EP4v9qODAXgqHKO9Kgiim6sbyWHJBRZEYTkYDI/s400/444hua.PNG" border="0" />floor plan<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329141120902992562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBnnrXlmJvotKeMxfYhKOrfy90o-gFO6CPLknG7lBoOQjm5YgXKSg23QPlS-XcYXmFYNivFXQ0-oaYR57OMl_LCAtWXa9Z00wUadgc65QH8gfj-drgla3Z4DRIF1R_L5Hioi2q9jjJxc/s400/555hua.PNG" border="0" />section<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329139479272187618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_dlwXgJXtdli0To2XleKOa7CYv0AtBnd_2mZy2x4nLKrORYj0OM8lmYFzlFu6FfrQ93pjI50Dk0VcH7rhnr5VWwuf3cBEb-BlZ5Rwp325Hw0vFcgjg9dFOsMwd0pQuaH_wXLqcHAQUz4/s400/333hua.PNG" border="0" /><br />3d view<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329142855382278050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPmHk05uSdOj1cYh9vR5BlMeyA7iM2mV70fiex2ROxcShm76u_7dYwSS7B4gMOJAAqLzaMBBy6RvCy7nEjXkJBl8r9Va2Wntiwk2JduHSMohFNDdMslcl-XSyRZl-vMGu2yutA2fi05Dk/s400/666hua.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329143944626703986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5vzaOp3yzLJiRLDP2vt3WWL3knRV4p-_jD125_JOVcAt3adKpFXRa_a2GgiS07hLLf9RphBDkoHBKb4kg2tvfKCOclXKfXKoOQAGrVOGcAAbgwmlT-wpo8qxOtNpMB1FGsoGPj6M2zjc/s400/777hua.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329144723066663826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtYGFlQ-648__Xswi3D_rh29Dq9hErBzjFLIeJIMmvPhBznMkhLoHHHU8wmyBPS1UkhcSrUufzb7ljC_5__Dm2QVbjQ4ABwMslgPMdjPAMPRXWfLsyKFTmsVO10N0WaQHzWBKqwrohFig/s400/888hua.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Magnús Friðrikssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11062565888794339675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-47519189149097114422009-04-26T19:53:00.025+00:002009-04-26T21:28:12.604+00:00Guðmundur<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Sentou; A japanese style bathhouse.</span><br /></span><br />My initial idea was to create a new activity on H</span><span style="font-family:arial;">verfisgata, something to attract traffic to the street. I also wanted an activity that's new and would add something interesting to the flora of activities available in Reykjavík, which aren't all that diverse or many in downtown Reykjavík compared to foreign cities.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">The idea of a Japanese style bathhouse came from my own experiences living in Japan, where the bathhouses quickly became one of my favorite activity there. Iceland already has a rich bath culture, but nothing as diverse, eye pleasing and physically moving as the Japanese baths. By mixing the Japanese customs associated with bathing to Icelandic bath culture I wanted to present a familiar and popular past time in Iceland with a unique twist.</span> <div style="text-align: center;font-family:arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-sVLZpGih2bE9u6Ux_XUV82nVE3BVI2YC4ngf2NNtqHPJucyY1epHPDEBLITThxkx61q6rDCiEz7EOEOuX93Cloz44W6PlKbWp6V3Imcusik0Ne-8ZR8WS3_wTuVeBNUzNlm3SEOqSM8/s1600-h/borgar1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-sVLZpGih2bE9u6Ux_XUV82nVE3BVI2YC4ngf2NNtqHPJucyY1epHPDEBLITThxkx61q6rDCiEz7EOEOuX93Cloz44W6PlKbWp6V3Imcusik0Ne-8ZR8WS3_wTuVeBNUzNlm3SEOqSM8/s400/borgar1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329096720169401602" border="0" /></a>SITE PLAN<br /><br /></div> <span style="font-family:arial;">I chose the corner of Snorrabraut and Hverfisgata, half the property of the police station at Hlemmur, as my site. The location is unique in the way that it is the only place where the view to Esja is completely unobstructed, allowing a shakkei style view (Japanese term for framed or "borrowed" view) of the mountains while bathing. I also wanted to make the Hlemmur area a more interesting place to visit.<br /><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1PO2t_j6TnCUi5IdaBA0VyAVRxRmSwyGqEHhtr1U0A1rmXr_28UYDosGpr11u_Qoq90VuCPUBr7LVqsKC4e4oNaQj50UCWu6-SVLf6xmTaVNXaK26YT1_zmfbcIvxEbjqtiS_1WLR5U/s1600-h/borgar2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1PO2t_j6TnCUi5IdaBA0VyAVRxRmSwyGqEHhtr1U0A1rmXr_28UYDosGpr11u_Qoq90VuCPUBr7LVqsKC4e4oNaQj50UCWu6-SVLf6xmTaVNXaK26YT1_zmfbcIvxEbjqtiS_1WLR5U/s400/borgar2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329096931392999362" border="0" /></a>AERIAL VIEW<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">As there are no showers in the building people use the washing stations that consist of a low stool and a bucket in front of a mirror with a basin and shower head to wash with. Guests are required to wash thoroughly before entering the baths.<br />The bathhouse has many different kinds of baths, for example hot and cold tubs, green tea baths, mineral baths, jacuzzi baths and slightly electrified baths.<br /><br /></div></div><span style="font-family:arial;">As with regular Japanese bathhouses all guests are required to bathe naked, and so it is segregated between men and women. The two sections are different and alternate between men and women every week, providing more variety in surroundings and layout.<br />The left section is a slope shaped hall, with washing downstairs and most of the baths spread between several levels, all with a view of the Esja mountain through a large window.<br />The right section is more complex and revolves around a circular flow through its two floors. It is windowless and only provides a view of Esja through a small outdoor area, the only one of it's kind in the building.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ8Me5s4AphovnG_gIAAvvH2Y79wP3-1xf43TDnkt18p6jZ_lO_lYCkPG_fsLSfCEfuwRh3CEpAwdjAQMSjjR5NEAiBgO_Iadow-5kALMLjVT22lUMX5rVIIfcT5Li6q-s235wp7rVIP8/s1600-h/basem.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ8Me5s4AphovnG_gIAAvvH2Y79wP3-1xf43TDnkt18p6jZ_lO_lYCkPG_fsLSfCEfuwRh3CEpAwdjAQMSjjR5NEAiBgO_Iadow-5kALMLjVT22lUMX5rVIIfcT5Li6q-s235wp7rVIP8/s400/basem.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329100406125828994" border="0" /></a>BASEMENT FLOOR PLAN<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrZ7HEFRsH-VDQOJRpxS3zH3PshM3paniN4Xfa605AXQlIGYLo3dT9vS2Kts5VdCdlcxCc-ATRkB5d58ofYgJhoO0SpJhX7snMM9EVVhvFrJImo3vhNMW5HIfgOwTaEM3VDyHZ2mQKLRY/s1600-h/1.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrZ7HEFRsH-VDQOJRpxS3zH3PshM3paniN4Xfa605AXQlIGYLo3dT9vS2Kts5VdCdlcxCc-ATRkB5d58ofYgJhoO0SpJhX7snMM9EVVhvFrJImo3vhNMW5HIfgOwTaEM3VDyHZ2mQKLRY/s400/1.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329100499242379698" border="0" /></a>GROUND FLOOR PLAN<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSgRZffQGcSkmp8LvhcD7tXuwFUdNtobNQMjYCRnt9OpusF95nLvQOjnMsMzwmYGCFijz6cKCCit9temfY9uu57VXpUsGh64QjiUfFMKR0I6TRYnv7LiVWLd1x394XB8oWX-Ffkd-bNmU/s1600-h/2.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSgRZffQGcSkmp8LvhcD7tXuwFUdNtobNQMjYCRnt9OpusF95nLvQOjnMsMzwmYGCFijz6cKCCit9temfY9uu57VXpUsGh64QjiUfFMKR0I6TRYnv7LiVWLd1x394XB8oWX-Ffkd-bNmU/s400/2.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329100995821694546" border="0" /></a>2ND FLOOR PLAN<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUTlrQmYE-I9sWz0fHPrgDqXm1fZLgjI39-ohwIvxpoQsqsz3SpM5-FIlucBif_VlvSUte_oY1UF3wIsXGWLBX7RXom99hTakrXZp-AVB5kmRKAG9oikWUX_16uHfPtdMZ3C2jSIk6SJU/s1600-h/section.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUTlrQmYE-I9sWz0fHPrgDqXm1fZLgjI39-ohwIvxpoQsqsz3SpM5-FIlucBif_VlvSUte_oY1UF3wIsXGWLBX7RXom99hTakrXZp-AVB5kmRKAG9oikWUX_16uHfPtdMZ3C2jSIk6SJU/s400/section.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329102068481541730" border="0" /></a>SECTION<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The slope was meant to create a grassy area for people to walk up and sit down and enjoy the view of the sea and Esja whenever they want without being guests of the bathhouse.

One example would be concerts on the building rooftop or on the lot in front of or behind the building.<br />The big window inside the bathhouse and the outdoor area are shielded with walls covered with vegetation so people outdoor can't go peeping on the nude people indoors.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6F6by6mex9whsiyN9DLsLSrXggjfIpLu8ownYqX5fDgdaABubDS2xcf6nsFVgXD_RW_LzcH8qnpOpxllUVXN4txjwcqrSpbBv4blBGDIe0U7w0rxS9RJ1DnBS0McoAsCjPiLrVT1H_E0/s1600-h/aireal.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6F6by6mex9whsiyN9DLsLSrXggjfIpLu8ownYqX5fDgdaABubDS2xcf6nsFVgXD_RW_LzcH8qnpOpxllUVXN4txjwcqrSpbBv4blBGDIe0U7w0rxS9RJ1DnBS0McoAsCjPiLrVT1H_E0/s400/aireal.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329103707994905234" border="0" /></a>ROOFTOP<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT91xjroX4IKjVO0w-VJmBKQEfADMCPzLfm5LQBtdtKgd0b6coX_sro-vcw4l81szzY-ev2R4u8_GGLyAwRymcLxoBJ-zpHYk5abq12g9l25K09ofIkAtxO7tHpvEA2LKUPHt8s12rsEM/s1600-h/facades.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT91xjroX4IKjVO0w-VJmBKQEfADMCPzLfm5LQBtdtKgd0b6coX_sro-vcw4l81szzY-ev2R4u8_GGLyAwRymcLxoBJ-zpHYk5abq12g9l25K09ofIkAtxO7tHpvEA2LKUPHt8s12rsEM/s400/facades.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329108643133406802" border="0" /></a>FACADES<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJYbJ5l2xomOpAt6p7C8WWo56T7h5rgBw1GdgcdFRAfc4pSpL0YElQrCRuNLp-7Y0gXs4hUcwvzBUkFrSS9Q7td15Mh5hbAEyH5n6aCvans9u5H9piJh0qz36l44Zv7qf69TsMW6B4_k/s1600-h/3D.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJYbJ5l2xomOpAt6p7C8WWo56T7h5rgBw1GdgcdFRAfc4pSpL0YElQrCRuNLp-7Y0gXs4hUcwvzBUkFrSS9Q7td15Mh5hbAEyH5n6aCvans9u5H9piJh0qz36l44Zv7qf69TsMW6B4_k/s400/3D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329113322993467010" border="0" /></a>3D VIEW<br /></div></div></div>Gummihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310311892967861355noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-64724830754358700902009-04-25T15:26:00.015+00:002009-04-25T23:03:14.351+00:00PYLYP FOMYN<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" >NEW HLEMMUR & MEDIA CENTER</span> </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">My project is about improving the area of Hlemmur and Hverfisgata.</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" >I wanted to use this area to create pedestrian spaces</span><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" >, lower the high bus traffic.

Laugavegur crosses many residential and non-commercial streets but does not have another street or area backing it up as a main shopping and nightlife street of a capital city. By strengthening Hverfisgata and connecting it better with Laugavegur, the two streets could work together as a whole and support each other with their different emphases.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxucTwB3ghfa0_qkqISLuLlHm36_FzJimIyFOsJ2WnAYkOQ36c1Ktdm7qrH1XZXNWzOaLgSUNM3Zbo5Khx58VXkL2STWpGyzbTnSbgd8t3qQbHbJ8zVofSCE5NIXWTxQH8DBLE5CIOAw/s1600-h/1-LOCATION.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxucTwB3ghfa0_qkqISLuLlHm36_FzJimIyFOsJ2WnAYkOQ36c1Ktdm7qrH1XZXNWzOaLgSUNM3Zbo5Khx58VXkL2STWpGyzbTnSbgd8t3qQbHbJ8zVofSCE5NIXWTxQH8DBLE5CIOAw/s400/1-LOCATION.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618857339839138" border="0" /></a>The plot connects Laugavegur, Hverfisgata and Klapparstigur. To begin with it was decided to work with three existing houses, Hverfisgata 30 and 32 and Klapparstigur 30. The two houses on Hverfisgata are residential but have been vacant for a time. The house on Klapparstigur is vacant as well and used to house a nightclub.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSj07LaEb5EXtOoUp0mdVGhSnYrkStihLqBsZQ1EiwADf8Zu93BYnyvXobFvgf8r9sNjPy-vfCSOq1Z-Y3cc7eO1GZDViwJhbsVralcwLtSbxKQokVkyVY0YoK3g8c02I9HZetaEnOAg8/s1600-h/2-EXISTINGBUILDINGS.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSj07LaEb5EXtOoUp0mdVGhSnYrkStihLqBsZQ1EiwADf8Zu93BYnyvXobFvgf8r9sNjPy-vfCSOq1Z-Y3cc7eO1GZDViwJhbsVralcwLtSbxKQokVkyVY0YoK3g8c02I9HZetaEnOAg8/s400/2-EXISTINGBUILDINGS.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618784277295778" border="0" /></a>The first step in the design process was to create a way through the plot. The objective was for it to be a smooth connection between Hverfisgata and Laugavegur while being somewhat hidden and an exciting journey, rather than a clear path like a street. While working with a complex path the buildings started to rise as rest stops in the journey rather than obstacles or destinations. Most buildings were meant to be small, housing specialty shops and restaurants. The larger ones are office spaces and studios. As the project developed the buildings started to form by the path and the final outcome was several irregular shapes mixed with rectangles.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UAIwR8Sp6Xmf_qsz5LBCGoRA_PFrMf8_Yvsj2d-begyqTXqlsKPmKXNshRTBGoga5UFHAahJmTv0EXwzIJs0yorBSl8Ryzcx4DJYYiTySAbaYuJtZGWOO0AJIk5q6FNhurR5iCxDeLs/s1600-h/5-PEDESTRIANFLOW.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UAIwR8Sp6Xmf_qsz5LBCGoRA_PFrMf8_Yvsj2d-begyqTXqlsKPmKXNshRTBGoga5UFHAahJmTv0EXwzIJs0yorBSl8Ryzcx4DJYYiTySAbaYuJtZGWOO0AJIk5q6FNhurR5iCxDeLs/s400/5-PEDESTRIANFLOW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618359948073506" border="0" /></a>The project consists, as priorly noted, of several buildings, connecting the old with the new. To increase the connection between the buildings, more than one door is placed on some of the buildings, creating interesting shortcuts. On the upper floors the buildings are connected with bridges and balconies. To strengthen the connection windows are used as a transparency factor, making it easy to look outside a window into the next building. An axis can be cut through the plot, from the Hverfisgata opening to the Laugavegur opening. Where the axis cuts through the buildings there is either a door or a window, strengthening the connection between the two streets even more. The experience of walking through the project is meant to be lively and exciting. The various paths and the shift between outside and inside make it possible to experience the project in different ways, depending on which way is chosen each time.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh74jBQPWlP2zzczGodlzbvFtoGOpqsOmagfVAMrtynLORDdMC-qwmHAlGwfZPfreVjcSFRgJs_eedBC2SYHZ1GT-EUyBPnfrEmwQW0DyjDrUX1uMgn9FD9N9n3FzfAiARud6OUdcQ0Qm4/s1600-h/2-GROUNDFLOOR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh74jBQPWlP2zzczGodlzbvFtoGOpqsOmagfVAMrtynLORDdMC-qwmHAlGwfZPfreVjcSFRgJs_eedBC2SYHZ1GT-EUyBPnfrEmwQW0DyjDrUX1uMgn9FD9N9n3FzfAiARud6OUdcQ0Qm4/s400/2-GROUNDFLOOR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618649761323698" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvvmOtpzX0SvH7966bKiYJ6G6yQNqfo544YW2APxeZTIKmzoDzVd9Ssxou2eEamxNDHVdqz_fw_LO6M3Oe6ikZ4c_26tlbNJ-guretITB2DKaylvRELc5UFC8EVdpGAFp-4X8Bet25bXI/s1600-h/3-2NDFLOOR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvvmOtpzX0SvH7966bKiYJ6G6yQNqfo544YW2APxeZTIKmzoDzVd9Ssxou2eEamxNDHVdqz_fw_LO6M3Oe6ikZ4c_26tlbNJ-guretITB2DKaylvRELc5UFC8EVdpGAFp-4X8Bet25bXI/s400/3-2NDFLOOR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618574788583906" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPy_Q0xujmWDS4L5D3PtAMyC00JQseJhMHLAoyY51MmoqvOcuX1bW52-r7Yp1dhsrf0zV67qUiqlRYMPaJFuoeAVH3j2OKddXL4sPx_kgWKx6x238TJk58495bAVgibXmnI-Yfl0OJUE/s1600-h/4-3RDFLOOR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPy_Q0xujmWDS4L5D3PtAMyC00JQseJhMHLAoyY51MmoqvOcuX1bW52-r7Yp1dhsrf0zV67qUiqlRYMPaJFuoeAVH3j2OKddXL4sPx_kgWKx6x238TJk58495bAVgibXmnI-Yfl0OJUE/s400/4-3RDFLOOR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618472700547778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bV_aUdHlqrNAEzPsX3V4znyAaGTroDl-uv5f5UaEMmVrtudpfH3C05nIYCDN8mFkVjOFTRoWVwROV6p1L36ZBNx8k7d7xIWncBs-hOpQScW0ti4UsRzul9L8SewABLr1m7tV4SHgv54/s1600-h/7-HVERFISGATAELEVATION.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bV_aUdHlqrNAEzPsX3V4znyAaGTroDl-uv5f5UaEMmVrtudpfH3C05nIYCDN8mFkVjOFTRoWVwROV6p1L36ZBNx8k7d7xIWncBs-hOpQScW0ti4UsRzul9L8SewABLr1m7tV4SHgv54/s400/7-HVERFISGATAELEVATION.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328617978401087330" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9gbRVM6s3wYZJrtmXad8QVCG1NvP-JwaOl7i3ZR3z3L76LkEphxEbh-7CsyfiwuIg2Z9DVTwkXIgwKqn-LvWQxRQ1MR53meMVrAfY0DmZ03JfFK2pvPJrMCtUh6KohikFU-Xwacnr7k/s1600-h/6-SECTIONAA.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9gbRVM6s3wYZJrtmXad8QVCG1NvP-JwaOl7i3ZR3z3L76LkEphxEbh-7CsyfiwuIg2Z9DVTwkXIgwKqn-LvWQxRQ1MR53meMVrAfY0DmZ03JfFK2pvPJrMCtUh6KohikFU-Xwacnr7k/s400/6-SECTIONAA.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328618070633263282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqtNYauYd3Suh7dbulSwOt0wEKB97t8t3ozmZM8Ctt9FmIXPxN-zoQWb07vmTAjbqwO8eC-S7mw-XbhhWFjr889U6xUiUQIp6tv1TUVx66mvqkx_NWVtnOpADnPwL8ueseeRETH93rcjU/s1600-h/8-SECTIONBB.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqtNYauYd3Suh7dbulSwOt0wEKB97t8t3ozmZM8Ctt9FmIXPxN-zoQWb07vmTAjbqwO8eC-S7mw-XbhhWFjr889U6xUiUQIp6tv1TUVx66mvqkx_NWVtnOpADnPwL8ueseeRETH93rcjU/s400/8-SECTIONBB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328617895439850162" border="0" /></a> The outdoor "Sirkus-market" should be revived in its original location by Klapparstigur and Laugavegur. By the existing houses in Hverfisgata there is a small square leading out from the restaurants. A small concert space on the second floor can be opened up towards the square. The market, the square and the concert space along with the outdoor pathways bring outdoor life to the project. The bridges can also serve as shelters from the rain. The square and the market offer the possibility of having outdoor events which could possibly be connected with the stores and businesses in the project. The activities and businesses suggested for the project are not meant to be significantly innovative, although the goal is to have small businesses and specialty shops. The reason for choosing such activities is that they function well in a downtown environment and are not focused on a specific group of people. Therefore the flow of people increases, strengthening Laugavegur and Hverfisgata as a whole.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivgtP1MlcjdbooxAPsssqhlHc_cJg8I_sEMakoabbfbGv-j07p8KGl8NCiaH5TE-Vb9yKpg1lAREMtZ8qxPIEFkRBt8MrVfFWlkR5KryofgXtCkW3UTWFZ0l19DYUKtoCXRPPYzVVkCp8/s1600-h/9-ACTIVITIES1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivgtP1MlcjdbooxAPsssqhlHc_cJg8I_sEMakoabbfbGv-j07p8KGl8NCiaH5TE-Vb9yKpg1lAREMtZ8qxPIEFkRBt8MrVfFWlkR5KryofgXtCkW3UTWFZ0l19DYUKtoCXRPPYzVVkCp8/s400/9-ACTIVITIES1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328617798008648018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIsfxWurTxyMCk9U3oxm7nKJ7ujuzeBRcAykVmswgnSvgvtYld0GCqaDEIwoDXKqSLcL60TbZBwnwnJlUWTRRoszRoqBmVlW0WNxRDXXA55zy3c5aLRns9HhvTAdU1N_ro4JzT2-TFxs/s1600-h/10-ACTIVITIES2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIsfxWurTxyMCk9U3oxm7nKJ7ujuzeBRcAykVmswgnSvgvtYld0GCqaDEIwoDXKqSLcL60TbZBwnwnJlUWTRRoszRoqBmVlW0WNxRDXXA55zy3c5aLRns9HhvTAdU1N_ro4JzT2-TFxs/s400/10-ACTIVITIES2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328617684735366082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCOjeR9-5zBnU9dfCCKr2o57GfY2BjACQnHUSfMUJRUv_0UWQDuRs0TYZzT_7ym6NRidqxupOQly_31l0M4NSPUbM_7MUzOexbEVsaZQZs0iT7ZUt-rQM0u4XaZRCBt1Uz4-t9KRRyWY/s1600-h/11-ACTIVITIES3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCOjeR9-5zBnU9dfCCKr2o57GfY2BjACQnHUSfMUJRUv_0UWQDuRs0TYZzT_7ym6NRidqxupOQly_31l0M4NSPUbM_7MUzOexbEVsaZQZs0iT7ZUt-rQM0u4XaZRCBt1Uz4-t9KRRyWY/s400/11-ACTIVITIES3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328617618565823170" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPh3tny5kICi5hvqU7OBWPCJDclmJiH9sO7XAYXMHVMBAMbUPZIFDp47nuJ2EulQjJsFO-kPLMYpKVCZLB1wkwXB7FsdI_2aiC_ByJUGYLA9-lbBmGvPMAuLHE5FUAF6XR3O138qi2xE/s1600-h/3DMODEL1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPh3tny5kICi5hvqU7OBWPCJDclmJiH9sO7XAYXMHVMBAMbUPZIFDp47nuJ2EulQjJsFO-kPLMYpKVCZLB1wkwXB7FsdI_2aiC_ByJUGYLA9-lbBmGvPMAuLHE5FUAF6XR3O138qi2xE/s400/3DMODEL1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328678454377043618" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw41c5ixyY-5io6iZFmVlNL6UCT_JyCmEwfDtvHfF67P8OHhCZQK-9NSzHS_dCKOCJw0KLR6UUsjNn9ZavyX1Tf5OVb5KdImBK5n_5EUnPHsLFs8kT86nMsaKxyWwnD4oY7QL6kagS6kQ/s1600-h/3DMODEL2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw41c5ixyY-5io6iZFmVlNL6UCT_JyCmEwfDtvHfF67P8OHhCZQK-9NSzHS_dCKOCJw0KLR6UUsjNn9ZavyX1Tf5OVb5KdImBK5n_5EUnPHsLFs8kT86nMsaKxyWwnD4oY7QL6kagS6kQ/s400/3DMODEL2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328678856133317602" border="0" /></a>Gunnhildur og Auðurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09682485256728812200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-63523657947172692662009-04-24T21:46:00.007+00:002009-04-24T22:45:06.800+00:00Arnþór TryggvasonI chose Hverfisgata 103 to work with. I made that decision by looking at possible connections and by analyzing car traffic and flow of people. The lot is close to Hlemmur and Barónstígur. I decided that i had to demolish the current building, because it feels like a gap in the street facades. The building stands lower and further from the street than the surrounding buildings.<br />I wanted my building to communicate to the street but also make a courtyard in the back. I really wanted to make the first floor to the street attractive and lively. So I got the idea to make a restaurant. I gave the comic book store, that was in the original house a space in the new house as well as a genuine kebab joint. Last but not least i made Hverfisbúðin, a small grocery store on the corner, something that every neighborhood should have.<br />In the course research i specially noticed that family people wasn't living at the street. Only 22 kids out of 534 living there. So I made a family friendly area and 12 apartments.<br />There are different kinds of scale on each side of the lot. On the east side is a 4 story building but on the west side is a 2 and a half story building. In the back is a 2 story house situated lower than the street. I basically got the form by connecting the building on the east side to the two building at the west side.<br />My building has a iron shell over it with pattern. Organic pattern that would give funky light inside the building during day time (summer) and lit up the darkness of the street with cosy lights during night time (winter). The street has a lot of car traffic and by having folding doors (windows) people can close them completely and get away from the noise of the city. That would also give the building constant change of look.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi18oj7nnDXJY13DHx11yybtNtH5t9PWJJhBpGIxuKPBE1-hiRR_CdHuSAQtjZxV40qwOJRLjudQIZvrfWjWL_x7e3oMedxzHBUy47aQMWp9ACKn6O7xkacS0GbZ7lQCrE8-_GB8GUH_nr8/s1600-h/1-5000.png"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I made a building facing Lækjargata and closed the gap between Hverfisgata and Laugavegur. I designed a hotel with a courtyard in front and a swimming pool on top. The hotel is open to the public even when it is vacant and that strengthens the flow of people through the area. The courtyard connects with Lækjargata, Hverfisgata, Laugavegur and Skólastræti. I want to make the area like a landscape and therefore the hotel shapes like a mountain climbing up the existing houses. I wanted to bring back the spring that lies underneath Lækjargata and make a small pond on the corner of Hverfisgata and Lækjargata. Wooden plates on different levels lead up the courtyard and the plates create a sitting area in the courtyard. I also made light poles in different heights and shapes and they illuminate the ground in various ways. They also give the feeling of walking through a forest which leads up the mountain (Hotel) and up to the swimming pool. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1E6zZKAumcEYCSK0VWr2YyyojNXibAFBp4NRQH654UyWcTJIrQ8WO2bfuzfDDjH-Slgbu7vlOuFHAzC88T4jrsTNKhhFs7DGCMAAgnCYNV07PEMA0VXhbh_iLBmO-OrRv1WxNYYq3HZ3x/s1600-h/afstada.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I took different windows from all the houses on Hverfisgata and placed them on mine. I also used the roof lines from Hverfisgata. I didn’t really copy the roofs. What I did was I took some roof lines facing Hverfisgata and placed them on one site of each house. Then I kind of dragged them over the houses, so I’m using the roofs from Hverfisgata in a rather abstract way. I also placed roof lines between the houses. Thereby I’m creating more connection between the houses. These roof lines will function as lampposts, to hang something on it at special event and for vegetations. It also brings a fairy tale feeling on the project. <!--EndFragment--> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOl8hD56I/AAAAAAAAAKc/Jr5mAkIkXU0/s1600-h/4takstangir_daemi.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOl8hD56I/AAAAAAAAAKc/Jr5mAkIkXU0/s400/4takstangir_daemi.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329111410381416354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOlerXx6I/AAAAAAAAAKU/u9ennfbmHgI/s1600-h/mynd10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOlerXx6I/AAAAAAAAAKU/u9ennfbmHgI/s400/mynd10.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329111402371598242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOlJfJKHI/AAAAAAAAAKM/9A4J05G0Sos/s1600-h/mynd9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOlJfJKHI/AAAAAAAAAKM/9A4J05G0Sos/s400/mynd9.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329111396683163762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTODcPeqmI/AAAAAAAAAKE/baHPJl5ISDw/s1600-h/mynd7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTODcPeqmI/AAAAAAAAAKE/baHPJl5ISDw/s400/mynd7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329110817602185826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTODBzB7OI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/y-NNOLQQERU/s1600-h/mynd4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTODBzB7OI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/y-NNOLQQERU/s400/mynd4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329110810503539938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOC2VT4qI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/Rax_UbcU8Ps/s1600-h/mynd3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOC2VT4qI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/Rax_UbcU8Ps/s400/mynd3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329110807426097826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOChwEqRI/AAAAAAAAAJs/IFva56rR8q0/s1600-h/mynd1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ElVHk1jjBM/SfTOChwEqRI/AAAAAAAAAJs/IFva56rR8q0/s400/mynd1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329110801901201682" /></a> <!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">The difference in height between Hverfisgata and Lindargata is two meters.

I wanted to create a sunny courtyard in the back but still have the houses that face Hverfisgata quite high rise. That is around 3 stories high to maintain the streetscape. To minimize the shadows they cast I had my roofs very steep towards the courtyard and I also made many balconies facing south. </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Cambria"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Cambria">All of my roofs are green (grass roofs) and the walls are white painted concrete. To use the sun even more I installed solar panels that cover the walls that catch the most sunlight and making them nice and blue glittery. Many of the stairs to the apartments are outside as a way to open them up towards the courtyard. The houses in the back are smaller and have the opportunity to have a small private garden area to keep, I'd like the area to be very green so the lover walls could also have vertical vegetation.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;

The street is a real challenge. Many residents of Reykjavík will tell you that it is their least favorite street, they will tell you about the constant bus traffic, the bus station Hlemmur that harbours drunks, the many run-down office buildings, the abandonned houses, the parking lots, the vacant lots, etc. The class will show 14 projects on the street.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01422213738325736148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-27379888583012678822008-05-14T01:54:00.036+00:002008-05-14T03:19:13.757+00:00<span

style="font-style: normal;">Kárastígsreitur</span>. This is the area at the top of Frakkastígur, the plot that the streets Frakkastígur, Skólavörðustígur and Kárastígur mark. The exciting problems that this plot included were ones of lack of flow within the area, lack of conversations of the garden to the street, and lack of connection between the inhabitants. Hence, our program in this project is to increase overall flow of the area. We focused on three things in particular;<br /><br />a) a new extension to Hotel Leifur Eiríksson, and<br />b) a peculiar shed formation in the center of the area<br />c) breaking down concrete fences that divided individual gardens, and finding other solutions to softer define your/mine, man-made/nature etc, e.g. leveling the ground.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">These projects have only one thing in common: their location, that is, being a part of the same block.

To enter the dining area of the hotel you must first go down a few steps, down below the ground surface into a lounge hall. There you can sit down with a cocktail, listen to the soothing dripping water sounds from the and see the slowly growing moss on the wall. Or you can continue up through a glass tunnel that stretches up from earth, along the green wall and through it into the dining area. Every view out of this hotel extension is carefully selected, two window show you Hallgrímskirkja, one shows you down Frakkasígur allt the way down to the sea, and a large, curved skylight opens up the roof and shows you the beautiful blue-ish Reykjavík sky.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We applied the term "interplay" in particular on this hotel extension. In that case we added a new building to an old one, which calls for a consideration of how these buildings connect. As we see it, the details are crucial. This can be seen in the way that the extension breaks into the hotel and stretches out and leans on a small, old house closeby. The old and the new do not merge, they communicate without loosing their identity.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Architecture grows through time, and with time it becomes a part of the surroundings, and a part of the nature. We appreciate this fact, and allow the nature to take over, e.g. in the curved wall that connects the old part of the hotel to the new part, while it devides the two. Water runs down the coarse concrete wall and with time moss and such vegetation will grow on the wall.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The hotel extension is also a physical sign of our bridge concept.

When you stand beneath it you are on a gray area, between the public and private. This is where the <b>path</b> starts. A path that lies from the street, under the hotel extension, past a gallery/shop, along the sheds, and to the street again.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">After walking under the hotel extension, the next thing that we see is and old <b>gallery/shop</b>. This gallery was a concern at first, since we thought that it disconnected the hotel from the rest. But instead of giving up and demolishing it we decided to work with it. We opened the closed wall that faced the garden, and created a visual connection through it. Also, now it works as a natural light source in the garden. Grass is allowed to grow on the roof and vegetation flows down the walls.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We walk a little further and reach a gray wall. A wall that serves as a backbone for the quirky <b>shed formation</b>. The path cuts through one of the sheds, and somehow it is like a mass of a void cutting through the more tangible wall. At this point you can choose either to enter the sheds, that is the café/resturant or to walk along the path outside the sheds. The ground around the sheds is sunken, around one meter below the surrounding surface. This allows the guests of the café/resturant to have a visual connection to the gardens of the inhabitants without allowing you to enter the more private area. </span></span></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The sheds keep their facades, with different window styles and colors and each shed has its own floor style. But they are connected from inside. Also they all have grass on the roof so when seen from the surrounding houses they look like a part of the earth. Along the backbone/wall we put narrow skylights to allow more light to flood into the sheds. </span></span></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;">These sheds now have a new function, a new purpose. Instead of housing old junk (as many did), they now house people. People connecting to each other. So the sheds are now the heart of the block, a public spot within a private one. In a great contrast to the hotel extension that is very visible from the street, but very closed off and almost hard to find the way into. The sheds are almost a part of the nature and talk to it. The hotel extension on the other hand talks to the city. And these parts are affected by these conversations. </span></span></span></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify" lang="is-IS"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="is-IS"><span style="color: rgb(179, 179, 179);"><span style="font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></span></span></p></div>Katla M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06005703107087119841noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-22004246247532661252008-05-13T23:59:00.005+00:002008-05-14T00:18:06.850+00:00Skuggi Center<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCX0PXFlyk0CBHfzJ_VEgxuIJcIkaJIuxG1YdHU1i-2EJPHaV_pgI9XJPsIBlZIkhxEz_2svNR0m1WVntJIyGkHUBkpFO-bqJxF5xiJRUtTOopFZqCH6yl31so0REf4GW9EhK950G7y22_/s1600-h/skur%C3%B0ur1_n%C3%A6rss.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Skuggi and its surrounding area are crying for some colors and activities. I think that the solutions fore Skuggi would be massive color bomb with crazy stuff.<br />I want to open the area of Skuggi to public by changing the lover floor of Skuggi that faces Frakkastígur to shopping centre that contains small stores and activities. I also want to connect the outdoor area to the street as a multifunctional market, leisure and events area. <br /> Skuggi has the same population as a small village in Iceland so it will need to have the same kind of service. I don’t know any village in Iceland, which has the population of Skuggi, which do not have ther one groceries store or a meeting place. I think that additionally to my idea Skuggi would need a supermarket and a health clinic and I would put them in to the ground floor from Skúlagata. <br /><br />The atmosphere I want to create inside Skuggi center is lively and the atmosphere of freedom and creativities. I want people to feel welcomed and that they feel like part of the Skuggi family but not just as every other client (victims) of the sellers. <br /><br />The atmosphere in the outside area should be relaxing chaotic where I want to mix to gather the atmosphere of the inside area to the chaotic of boot fairs and the relaxing part of picnics. <br /><br />Designing of Skuggi center<br />COLOR. And more colors. At the beginning I was to stucked to the color’s but not enough in to the form. Then I started to experiment with the form of the hallway and I found a triangle form I liked mixing with the colors. Then I wanted to make something of the entrances. The entrances of Skuggi center are in the same form and colure; red tubes. One from Lindargötu, one from Frakkastígur and one from Skúlagata/Sæbraut through a bride from Skuggi to the street. The entrance to the car park is a blue tube.<br /> I wanted the stores to flow to the hallway and be part of it I think that I can make the hallway more interesting that way and make more live on it.<br /><br /><br />Stores<br /><br />POST-IT life is a lifestyle store fore people that live the post-it life. They live fast and use quick solutions.<br /><br />I think that SS pylsur are the most popular souvenirs in Iceland ever one try at least one so way not put one in Skuggi Center<br /> <br />Red, blue, yellow and green restaurant are gourmet restaurant with top service but rather low price and quick service. Its specialties are the magnificent view over the see and to Esja through the knife, fork and spoon windows.Skúlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04600779036087369989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-82440706023645386562008-05-13T04:30:00.021+00:002008-05-13T16:00:18.316+00:00sport

The Idea is to replace it with a green spot with a coffee house half underground, where you can sit down with a good book or for a chat. Bring your old book and exchange it for another used one or buy it cheap.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">When people walk pass the coffee house, they will be able to see inside through the roof window’s scattered around the roof of the building and a large window that covers the front of the coffee house. In that way I will be able to bring the outside light in during the day and in the night the coffee house will be lit up by the light coming from the inside of the building.<br />The roof windows are also chairs and tables, where the old tables and chairs are built into the roof windows . The roof of the building has grass on top with small hills to sit on and small valley’s where you can lie down in.</span> <span style="font-family:courier new;"><br />The main entrance stands out and turns out to Frakkastígur and Njálsgata so there is no doubt where the entrance lies. An Elevator entrance is connected to the right side of the main entrance for those who have troubles making their way. From the surrounding sidewalk’s you can walk straight on to the roof and sit down in the grass.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">The atmosphere inside is built in an cozy, home like style where you can see old furniture that has been put to new use. The toilets, which are partly built into the wall, is like an old fashion outhouse toilet. On the walls there are a few large spaces that are also built into the walls which customer’s can lie in with a good book or for a chat. The main space of the coffee house has inner walls that are made out of book shelf’s where people can find a book to read or to buy. The book shelf’s and the counter are built out of many random sized and shaped shelf’s from old book shelf’s.<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-family:courier new;">Books are like houses they grow old with you and influence you or they leave nothing behind…<br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPPmmryqzAd7r758p1TurtVoJ51HVJlEuuAjtXSB7dOfcnigt-hpR9Z2yFoOUcEUI4A1WH9FD_K9wjBcT1GkVjj19c9mTkDQayuXnFwmLxBkIUkNeMG1bTtLxqabpao86IFjXLTm3x8BGm/s1600-h/afstodumynd+ljosari.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The school itself is for children from ages 5 - 15 so it's always full of life and I wanted to the new building to reflect that. While the outer walls walls are relatively restricted and angled, the inside spaces are transparent, playful and bright. One of my main inspiration was music itself, because no matter how playful or happy a piece is, it's always under a very strict rhythm. I hope the building demonstrates that, albeit subtly.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEbbbjBmNlncgKrfaUEVrSniCEhyphenhyphenFQLzqBPNye1nSLwM0QVl8EX7yQ0EV0N1E7zv9mJ6SnFv98GNp71P1mnIp8ZfrUzaXyuyz8ktjVmq08gxfQNFFTi_8OsB24D9Og9UTRA7MomxCLz84Z/s1600-h/uti1-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEbbbjBmNlncgKrfaUEVrSniCEhyphenhyphenFQLzqBPNye1nSLwM0QVl8EX7yQ0EV0N1E7zv9mJ6SnFv98GNp71P1mnIp8ZfrUzaXyuyz8ktjVmq08gxfQNFFTi_8OsB24D9Og9UTRA7MomxCLz84Z/s320/uti1-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197330400683900242" /></a><br /><br />I didn't want to copy the style of the old French Hospital, but intead make a whole new form based on the old building. I.e., I extended angles and lines from the French Hospital and its surrounding to create the forms in my new extension. It's mainly apparent in the ground plans, so to make the connection stronger in actuality, I made some references to the old building with material choices. The wood has the same terra cotta red as the wood in the Hospital and the music hall's stone wall is made of the same stone as the base in the old building, although stacked in a more delicate way.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNT3CRS76dwzTLlyxwS2fEIr6jLMcwIkftiUg9z_0EF9bY3WJTN93TEPIrrAHs9xP3XC81BX4KknRJZ_xHcz8Z3Ly3wLJCuqZHFPAbTdSu3lG4Ro9Ivokk4Yda6qOjqiuRYx8FyRIvVVl/s1600-h/plan1-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNT3CRS76dwzTLlyxwS2fEIr6jLMcwIkftiUg9z_0EF9bY3WJTN93TEPIrrAHs9xP3XC81BX4KknRJZ_xHcz8Z3Ly3wLJCuqZHFPAbTdSu3lG4Ro9Ivokk4Yda6qOjqiuRYx8FyRIvVVl/s320/plan1-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197330572482592098" /></a><br /><br />In these plans it's more prominent how the schools actually connect. There is a glass building between them with a glass bridge that connects the upper floors. It's a nice place for kids to wait for their parents to pick them up, or wait for teachers. I also put a pavilion there to make this more of a square. This can be used as a venue for all sorts of musical events or simply for kids to play around.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJVk9MqK7ni2ZyM8bCd4BEqQhyphenhyphenvR3ikK_h1FGZ4EgpZQbje6qUW3UnxNsWAxM3qKFrRBZD6qJEHYdGzv5Dzs8ozlaKEtDcRi9sUobtbFX5cE2CGxUm-W884crQgwWKJakx9WJ9Ldg7Sbd/s1600-h/plan2-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJVk9MqK7ni2ZyM8bCd4BEqQhyphenhyphenvR3ikK_h1FGZ4EgpZQbje6qUW3UnxNsWAxM3qKFrRBZD6qJEHYdGzv5Dzs8ozlaKEtDcRi9sUobtbFX5cE2CGxUm-W884crQgwWKJakx9WJ9Ldg7Sbd/s320/plan2-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197330765756120434" /></a><br /><br />I realized that I didn't want the extension to be basically halls with practice rooms to each side, but rather make a star diagram, i.e. with an open space in the middle and have entrances to each rooms go from there. So I placed an enclosed atrium in the middle, where children can wait while being picked up to class or make their homework. I chose to have it closed off with a glass ceiling, because although it sounds very nice to be under a clear sky, Icelandic weather simply doesn't allow it. The school is open during winter and the atrium would be full of snow and rain most of the time, so I think it would be much more useful to keep it closed off. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZff3jQPFcKtS6yNIHsHzzRmXGhQGRBbApa4DSsH8QWMq5IwKDsIV1tf8dr3NLIR3HrlWauMsg8qruyBWlK8Fpy4ftgsl6m3IzlKt7Ya_UrWq4lBbple2n0IW9vM2pHwO6xcX3MAEQYGo/s1600-h/inni2-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZff3jQPFcKtS6yNIHsHzzRmXGhQGRBbApa4DSsH8QWMq5IwKDsIV1tf8dr3NLIR3HrlWauMsg8qruyBWlK8Fpy4ftgsl6m3IzlKt7Ya_UrWq4lBbple2n0IW9vM2pHwO6xcX3MAEQYGo/s320/inni2-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197331130828340610" /></a><br /><br />Here one can see better how the middle atrium connects to other classrooms and the music hall itself. The music hall is made to be multifunctional, both to have concerts or simply practices for the band or kammer groups. It can also open up into the atrium if it needs more space or simply for a more open event. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTajfDt0Sx-KeSbbkUPQlZtlBlVnKmqgT9qmHuYg7F2CiolF6qImxUnXmSTiYLBFIJRammhMof_L8fEk8hLQ_nXY5vfgTs_ghse8hDkNUUJXC82AjtOGPJl3yTFuXABtuWUGliAHrYom_A/s1600-h/tversnid-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTajfDt0Sx-KeSbbkUPQlZtlBlVnKmqgT9qmHuYg7F2CiolF6qImxUnXmSTiYLBFIJRammhMof_L8fEk8hLQ_nXY5vfgTs_ghse8hDkNUUJXC82AjtOGPJl3yTFuXABtuWUGliAHrYom_A/s320/tversnid-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197331349871672722" /></a><br /><br />The moss wall behind the concert hall is also prominent in this section. If one sits there and faces north, the window opens up to the moss wall behind. This is also another entrance into the school and probably more handy if people are coming to see a concert or simply if kids are coming from that direction. Here the windows on the music hall is also apparent, but they were put there as a reference to musical rhythm.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji8_8XaVCgd7JOtkOekEPT8xlbXmdprjZaJgV0ENqLbra9b8H68DmzYyTuUCYM-meoO2SCjm6Hxgw2rtRUFNPZ3DU01t1sXADYaw1Kf_l8iuv0At_I0e7Eu3_tg5BoUlVDKTACfcliJ3NP/s1600-h/uti2-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji8_8XaVCgd7JOtkOekEPT8xlbXmdprjZaJgV0ENqLbra9b8H68DmzYyTuUCYM-meoO2SCjm6Hxgw2rtRUFNPZ3DU01t1sXADYaw1Kf_l8iuv0At_I0e7Eu3_tg5BoUlVDKTACfcliJ3NP/s320/uti2-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197331551735135650" /></a><br /><br />These last two pictures show well the inside spaces. I put bright and fun colours inside, because this is first and foremost a children's building. The classrooms are open and transparent. Here one can also see how the upper floor connects to the atrium, but there's just a metre high glass wall so people can look down in the atrium.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYLI7bQr9rfdgSOKj-r-npZ6rc8tviQ9k0GTiYWkxCXDSjjyo1eDW7Q0ephmrdaRV-Mi9OrE8Thn54RG_ScIY-HVzzeDSjJG2WHlAxchPGeKimgmyy3FOYKU5aBzWoKF1Je3Gq8nQSQ5x_/s1600-h/langsnid-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYLI7bQr9rfdgSOKj-r-npZ6rc8tviQ9k0GTiYWkxCXDSjjyo1eDW7Q0ephmrdaRV-Mi9OrE8Thn54RG_ScIY-HVzzeDSjJG2WHlAxchPGeKimgmyy3FOYKU5aBzWoKF1Je3Gq8nQSQ5x_/s320/langsnid-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197331740713696690" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6EsSs3OaON0S0ikGNYecySToJ5tI0OYZK5ysW0i4x7y8oqsAeACe4E8y2Nb-E6_jgFxtVBaXWJZH0Toz4sBrM745mHrhtdemZfd9uIThecEreSatxZDdSb_LU_YGs1QNei0t2ga9MATu/s1600-h/inni1-ps.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6EsSs3OaON0S0ikGNYecySToJ5tI0OYZK5ysW0i4x7y8oqsAeACe4E8y2Nb-E6_jgFxtVBaXWJZH0Toz4sBrM745mHrhtdemZfd9uIThecEreSatxZDdSb_LU_YGs1QNei0t2ga9MATu/s320/inni1-ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197332049951342018" /></a>Ása Bryndíshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06830541607366899562noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521667332763594749.post-84341085035047598742008-05-06T11:37:00.010+00:002008-05-06T22:37:17.475+00:00Apartments and daycare - Final review<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">On my lot, witch is located between Grettisgata 26 and Frakkastígur 15, I decided to make a kind of a new concept, in Iceland at least. There will be 3 apartments for day care parents and a common working space for their daycare. This allows the day care parents to get some privacy in their home, instead of having the children in their apartment like most of them do today. There will be about 15 children with 3 day care parents, witch creates more security and opportunity to do more stimulating work with the children.<br />The main concept of my project is to have a really great, colorful, fun and stimulating daycare, where the architecture is utilized to the full in creating a really interesting spaces for the children. Secondly, I wanted the apartments to be very simple, calm and relaxing. I started to look for some inspiring photos, and found a lot that helped me, witch you can see example of in my first blog. <br />I wanted to create a definite contrast between the apartments and the daycare, so I really went to the extreme with the daycare. I chose some really bright colors, and irregular forms in all openings to make it really adventurous. I chose currigated iron for the daycare to connect it a tiny bit to the houses in the neighbourhood, but mostly to underline the rippled or irregular look I was going for, and make it more different from the apartments witch are made of white painted concrete.<br />I decide to have the daycare by Frakkastígur, in front of the apartments, to interact with all the new things happening in Frakkastígur and the apartments in the back were it is more quet and private. The daycare calls for attention with some really interesting openings towards Frakkastígur. There are fun and colorful openings, These openings connect the activities in the daycare to the cultural life in Frakkastígur. The garden is situated savely behind the daycare and is surrounded by the building which create a great shelter. There are also a lot of vegetation and flowers. From the garden lies a ramp to the roof witch the children can walk up, and play on the roof. In the garden are a lot of holes and small hills with tubes that lie through them and the children can crawl in, hide themselves and play with as they like. There is sand in some holes, and a lot of simple toys that don’t mess with the architecture.<br /><br />I litterally connected the carden to the interior of the daycare by letting the bumps and holes flow into the house through a big glass vall, which includes a sliding door. On the inside, the small hills create small rooms underneath the hills, and on them are some holes which the children can crawl into. With that, some interesting spaces are created, witch can be used for different things. In one I imagine a kind of a soothing mood, kind of like underwater, with a fishtank, which could be used as a napping room.<br /><br />The daycare and the apartments are separated, but there is a big wall that kind of connects them together. The holes in the wall symbolize the change from the “crazy” daycare to the simple quet apartments.<br /></div><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl-dXdNEiH0FAI2hnOZYTJ7E3YEiY9lm_iZZ3omOCtzu3CofAfHkTz6h4PasZoEr4bzo3pGBRJpCxnMz35WD-IyeRbhQ3mhWUsfKKNzrKE4IsGlbz2xRfyll8OiS5n-VmZCC3s6dky7FoN/s1600-h/afst%C3%B6%C3%B0umynd.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The first actual house on Frakkastígur was the french hospital which</span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" > served the purpose of servicing french sailors in Iceland. </span><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><br />The location is in our minds an ideal spot to connect Frakkastígur to the sea, as well as connecting the street to other parts of the city via. the footpath that runs along the shore by Sæbraut. This footpath goes all around Reykjavík and is used quite a lot by the inhabitants of the city. With the arrival of a new concert hall just a few hundred meters away there is an even bigger reason to create a sort of an "urban pause" close by. A place where people can meet up, with friends or family and take part in various activities within the space provided.<br /><br />The area may be regarded as a series of clusters rather than one single element. We wanted to provide interesting and stimulating spaces where people can enjoy the scenery, have a nice cup of coffee, participate in sport events, attend concerts or just take a little time to escape the everyday urban life.<br /><br />It is in our human nature to search out the new, the exciting. Something that will release us from the bonds of the ordinary. We wanted to create challenging and exciting spaces that challenge people to perceive their environment in a new and fresh way, if only for a little while. Light is very important to our project, and is used in different ways for each cluster.<br /><br />The main clusters are as follows. A green space with ponds and playgrounds right next to the Skuggi-towers. A tunnel that lies under Sæbraut and connects Frakkastígur to the area by the sea. A large dome that can house concerts, lectures, sport activities, markets and gatherings of just about any sort. A multi-level café which also houses a kind of an underwater safari, where you can look straight into the sea and witness the amazing array of life that can be found underwater. </div><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW80Lx6IByewcQz4lnl61NBo9Kset7hNYsB-rn1Na2e10lu6lZhItSlBg-xVYeqxbVliMECH3Kv13EYHkl1yXwkN5qZUoIhq7tTeUTw6tlvCrXiAjzBGephIJUPhoTKb5gTcEBL34LdBo/s1600-h/frakkasectionkaffihus+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW80Lx6IByewcQz4lnl61NBo9Kset7hNYsB-rn1Na2e10lu6lZhItSlBg-xVYeqxbVliMECH3Kv13EYHkl1yXwkN5qZUoIhq7tTeUTw6tlvCrXiAjzBGephIJUPhoTKb5gTcEBL34LdBo/s320/frakkasectionkaffihus+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197224258281916626" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Mf1t2q4ZU2wHmWuB_ah-hVA_xZ64kTyglWbnBa0YtMoJb5gAEy6ea2AaKJWXxsHtc4fa0rYEv05SozDetZrzL9rYju2v9PUAQu5LxtLKpmaDk48T0yTew1jO5TlS9rpPI4lHd47nKNQ/s1600-h/cafe+and+tunnel+section.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Mf1t2q4ZU2wHmWuB_ah-hVA_xZ64kTyglWbnBa0YtMoJb5gAEy6ea2AaKJWXxsHtc4fa0rYEv05SozDetZrzL9rYju2v9PUAQu5LxtLKpmaDk48T0yTew1jO5TlS9rpPI4lHd47nKNQ/s320/cafe+and+tunnel+section.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197224236807080082" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxaPvBXSSPQwVeomk3tUT-ZpPr1YtFpE9sqcF21chF_-5AWBWyMZPij41Hju1bIiZ08jGBmxs1C7WhsctTOo_hbpz62P3t27tDz1yRVXIKiEHM8W8t_jWIpS5sGYfBGWvzcLt_NdJSwqQ/s1600-h/tunnel+section.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxaPvBXSSPQwVeomk3tUT-ZpPr1YtFpE9sqcF21chF_-5AWBWyMZPij41Hju1bIiZ08jGBmxs1C7WhsctTOo_hbpz62P3t27tDz1yRVXIKiEHM8W8t_jWIpS5sGYfBGWvzcLt_NdJSwqQ/s320/tunnel+section.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197225400743217394" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HIOT43_fXBGe8e7mJuM4WH2sRgyTdu4QFmeBXpmv7e1T3NHt8JPW_I7tQb3tHMYCmUB7OyXGcsF6BqWJmuL_URyOYSCppz8o7yNxkAaIZ0VMAl89043lEw2bnVWYKWmKHHgCQ7JePIA/s1600-h/tunnel-plaza.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HIOT43_fXBGe8e7mJuM4WH2sRgyTdu4QFmeBXpmv7e1T3NHt8JPW_I7tQb3tHMYCmUB7OyXGcsF6BqWJmuL_URyOYSCppz8o7yNxkAaIZ0VMAl89043lEw2bnVWYKWmKHHgCQ7JePIA/s320/tunnel-plaza.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197225405038184706" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">In the tunnel we wanted to create something more than just a plain concrete tunnel. We wanted to make it an adventurous place to visit by intertwining different light elements that come together to create a cozy, yet exciting environment. At an intersection within the tunnel there is enough space for concerts or even a market, surrounded by benches where people can sit down. We also wanted to make the tunnel "readable" from above by extending the light-cairns up onto the surface. We envisage that this will also grab the attention of anyone that walks or drives through the area.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyUl1oKOZbDHUsXu5qE9BIy_mvUtGtHcN7fe9KJpGVidzhOoLbFApQ4tkDhDc4Gtrm6NAUr3vgxKtxMJcgKk3lhlZ_9bbHxqgIZjgdvH2loSpGsYK2xvZOX_qVoXeyr4a_SnjoZxBlrI0/s1600-h/dome.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyUl1oKOZbDHUsXu5qE9BIy_mvUtGtHcN7fe9KJpGVidzhOoLbFApQ4tkDhDc4Gtrm6NAUr3vgxKtxMJcgKk3lhlZ_9bbHxqgIZjgdvH2loSpGsYK2xvZOX_qVoXeyr4a_SnjoZxBlrI0/s320/dome.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197224249691982002" border="0" /></a>The ceiling of the dome is covered in holes of various shapes and sizes that break up the light and scatter it´s rays throughout the center of the dome. The dome is open on five sides, but each opening serves a different function. One opens up to the sea and creates a small alcove within the dome. The second one is linked to an outdoor recreation area and playground on the western side of the area. The third one provides access to the platform surrounding the Sun Voyager. The fourth one is situated by a kayak harbor and a large wooden deck surrounding the café.

We wanted to add life and art to the area which is located on the lower part of Frakkastígur. The site is on the corner of Frakkastígur and Hverfisgata where Kastalinn is today, near the tall rise buldings of Skuggi and the sea. The three key words we started off with were dynamic, flow and life. We wanted these words to describe our building and the program</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The characteristic features of Hverfisgata are those of a busy street with a mixture of residentials, offices and shops. Across the street the new Listaháskóli is yet to be realised and the Skuggi blocks by the end of Frakkastígur have not been fully erected so the surrounding area is under a lot of changes. This uncertainty in the surrounding area shaped and influenced the vision of our project. We envisioned a neutral building that would adapt to changes and by that be able to serve different activities in the best possible way. It allows a wide range of possibilities and does not take on a distinctive stile of architecture. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">We wanted to create a multi purposed art center, a melting pot of cultural activities related to art. We researched what kind of activities could incorporate this idea and the result was an artist residence program and a book café. The idea was to create a place where people could come together, sit down for a cup of coffee and read art magazines and books. At the same place there will be open art studios where artists can be seen at work and anyone can step inside and see their works in the making. The building is to be an impartial framework, framing the activities, art pieces and installations of the artists staying there at the time. Artists from anywhere in the world can come to live and work for a few months at a time. They will have their private living space in a part of the building, workshops in the basement and a studio that opens to the café that is open to guests at any time. There will also be a gallery selling some of their products and a small exhibition hall.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">We want to make this place attractive to all kinds of people and everyone will be welcome to put their mark on the place in any way. We want to make the building dynamic and adaptable to all kinds of different activities and happenings. We initiated this buy creating various outdoor spaces that could easily be changed with curtains and cloths according to different requirements at each time. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The exhibition gallery is closed off from the outside with rotating walls that can also be opened up so they allow different possibilities. On the inside the gallery is closed off from the studio with sliding doors, so it can be completely open or completely closed, and easily adjusted to different demands. With these features we see the building change with the artists staying there and the people visiting.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">We wanted to make the building open and easy to enter from the street, everyone should feel welcome and attracted to the building and what it has to offer. We wanted to allow good flow around the whole space, from the café to the studio and gallery and from there to the outside terraces on both sides of the building. We have put various stairways between levels of the building that allow the stream of people to enter the roofs where performance art exhibitions could take place or art pieces could be on display and be seen from the street as well. The beacon also allows people to flow around the whole building, both outside and inside. It also serves another purpose, to create an identity for the building and its operation, and to allow advertisement of events or display works of art. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The building has three main walk troughs and visual axes that are created to lead people through the different parts of the building. They are meant to mark the flow in which you can move through the building. One axe leads from the entrance at Hverfisgata to the studio in the other end of the building. Another axe leads from the port between the old and new part of the building, through the building to the terrace on the other side. The third axe is the beacon, going from the basement and straight up, connecting all three levels of the building.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">By all this we have tried to follow and fulfil what the three key words we started up with idicate. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">We have made the building dynamic by making it possible to easily alter spaces and create new ones. You might visit the place and experience it, then come back a month later to find a different space and another experience. The artists that will come and go regularly will also create dynamicity because they will shape they place with their precence and their art works. Same goes with visitors, everyone should be allowed to put their mark on the place, be it with only their precence or a graffity on the wall. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"> We hope that the many different activities taking place at this art center and all the things it has to offer will attract alot of people and the will make it lifely. The people will make life, and we have tried to arrange it so that the life can flow around the building unhindered. The visual axes, the stairways and the usage of rooftops is a part of that. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">We wanted the building to be a frame that the artist and the public off the street will paint, that they and the activities will be the ones shaping the building, not the other way around.
