Abstract

Contemporary architecture is increasingly influenced by the concept of landscape, and this is particularly the case in the Netherlands. Like at many other places, a new mindset is emerging, transforming the core values of the disciplines of architecture and urbanism with the notion of the organization of architectural space as a landscape. Through experiment our lab develops methods to analyze such phenomena in focused studies of specific cases, understanding how architects use landscape not only as a metaphor but also as a method to design buildings. 32 students selected and analyzed outstanding built work of a wide field of architects from four generations of Dutch practitioners starting with Huig Maaskant (founder of the RAvB), Huig Maaskant, Wim QUist, OMA, SANAA, Mecanoo, MVRDV, NOX, De Zwarte Hond, NL-Architects, Onix, FACT and MonderschijmMoonen. Students drew and built models of their analyses, where four layers are detachable as a separate entity, and then played a game the surrealist called Cadavre Exquis. The result is a dismantled floating olympic village for Rotterdam, which is exhibited at it’s site in the historic docklands RDM on the Heijplaat. This Book is the catalogue to the exhibition.

The landscape has been formed by lifting the grass. Literally, the grasssod is cut and lifted. If the building would be removed and the sod let back down, it would fit the grass as it is now. The potential of the landscape around the library is not fulfilled, the green space at Schoemakerstraat is quite barren. The landscape of the library is functional but not wild and alive. With the realization of this building, the district gained not only a centrally located library but also a green meeting space for all students and personnel. Unfortunately it is off the main axis of the district. In 2007 this landscape was extended along the main axis as Mekelweg Park.

3round form, landscape as strategy he library, start of a transformation With the building of the green roof, the area around the auditorium that is leading to the library was remodeled to be a green space. It was the start of transforming an austere university area to being an asset in attracting people locally and internationally.

The brutalist auditorium gained a brother in public function and a competitor for attention. By making the library a landscape, this relationship was salvaged, a new unity found. The auditorium is like a spaceship landed, the library a molehill raised; the cone the symbol of technology. The grass surrounds both the auditorium and the aula, joining the buildings a second time by landscape

The three outer walls of the building that were created by the elevation of the landscape are glass facades. The walls have been angled a second time so they reflect the environment. During the daytime the sunlight provides the lighting for reflection. During night time the spots in the roof provides the lighting instead.

Underground feeling - Entrance Students enter the library by going underground. The entrance is lik a bunker; while netreing you see the grass above you. Inside this hill of grass you have the opportunity to enhance your skills by way of the books and rise, symbolized by the cone, to the start that you can see at the top of the cone.

The floor plan and spatial experience are extremely clear. In one view, you see the program of the library. In the first view of the inside you see the books, the study rooms, the workstations and the reading rooms. The organizing principle is the open floor plan with an outside shell (fagades) and inside shells . The yellow floor and ceiling bind everything together.

The spatial shape starts closed like a walled mansion. The closer you get to the farm the more it opens up. Once inside it is a very open building.

“In 1963 Richard Held and Alan Hein conducted a classic and rather merciless neuro- logical experiment in which two kittens were raised in a carousel under closely control- led conditions. One kitten was able to move freely around a circular track while the other was strapped in a suspended gondola. After a number of weeks, the kittens were released from the carousel. The active cat moved and behaved normally, while the pas- sive cat stumbled and bumped into objects, and was afflicted with agnosia, a condition of mental blindness brought on by neurological rather than physiological causes. it could not coordinate its movements with what it saw because in its experience; action and perception had never existed in the same continuum.”

The indentational shapes of the image and program form by the end situation of the game, are inserted the new design very subtle to respect the clear and smart design. At the corners of the pavilion it is possible to form outside and inside interstices like the Johnson Wax building without disturbing the functionality and architectural context. It is even adding a new shape refering to the bended slopes and also the wings of an aircraft. The wood of Mikkelhorst is used as a new facade materail, wich gives a more natural feeling and gives the sports pavilion more body.

The programmatic form consists of the stacked different inner functions. The functions can be distinguished to the inner or more formal spaces and the stacking of the books on the walls. Beside the core functions of books and reading those books there is also attention for a wider attraction of people, therefore the commercial and other related activities ar introduced within the program. The inner functions differ in size so stacking them cre- ates the space needed for public program.

To understand the Educatorium you really need to zoom out to the masterplan of Van der Steur. The mix of these large functions (exam rooms, auditoriums and cafetaria) doesn’t come together as a complete school. There are no real classes to lecture. The centralized position of this building forms, in the large masterplan scale a link between the surrounding buildings.

The first two levels of the facade on the front side are transparant. Because of the transtparant faces the spaces between the towers look even more like bridges. Meeting spots are situated in the middle levels of the building. The upper levels consist of individual class rooms and offices.

Cadavre Exquis: Dutch Architecture with Landscape Methods Vol. 3. (pre-release 0.02)
Daniel Jauslin

Contemporary architecture is increasingly influenced by the concept of landscape, and this is particularly the case in the Netherlands. Like at many other places, a new mindset is emerging, transforming the core values of the disciplines of architecture and urbanism with the notion of the organization of architectural space as a landscape. Through experiment our lab develops methods to analyze such phenomena in focused studies of specific cases, understanding how architects use landscape not only as a metaphor but also as a method to design buildings. 32 students selected and analyzed outstanding built work of a wide field of architects from four generations of Dutch practitioners starting with Huig Maaskant (founder of the RAvB), Huig Maaskant, Wim QUist, OMA, SANAA, Mecanoo, MVRDV, NOX, De Zwarte Hond, NL-Architects, Onix, FACT and MonderschijmMoonen. Students drew and built models of their analyses, where four layers are detachable as a separate entity, and then played a game the...

Propositions for a study of Architecture with Landscape Methods
Daniel Jauslin PhD

Researcher and PhD Candidate TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture, Chair of Landscape Architecture Prof. Dr. Ing. C.M.Steenbergen Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. The landscape analogy that accompanied architecture for a long time in tectonics or ornament is now transforming the concepts of form and space. The landscape analogy has moved from marginal subjects to the core of the discipline. We are looking for principals of architectural theory, which can not be derived anymore from an big predominant ideology. What framework for architecture do we still need in the more or less lucky freedom of our time? We might want to use the proposed exercise of knowledge transfer to rediscover some basic principles. A study of landscape as a means of architecture could lead to such a basic theory, not derived from any ideology nor adopting philosophical terms to a practical field. We prefer looking in our own backyard, enjoying the freedom of thoughts about our own subject matter.

Architecture as Landscape
Yasmine Abbas

Architecture as Landscape, 2019

This study constitutes the latest reflection on pedagogical research and experimental pedagogical projects involving the representation, design, and computation of ambiances. Led by the author at various architecture schools in France, Japan, and the United States, these creative explorations involving drawings and models offer ways to realize, feel, and fabricate architecture. The projects described were conducted in 2018 in courses offered by the Department of Architecture, Stuckeman School, College of Arts and Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University. They show that architectural productions are not static objects, but instead render a dynamic landscape itself nested within a changing milieu. Through these projects, by looking closely at the parameters of spatial effects, students engaged in processes of design taking movement into account in meaningful ways.

The Story of Another Idea: Forum voor Architectuur en Daarmee Verbonden Kunsten’s. Construction of Netherlander Contemporary Urban Landscape
Rebeca Merino del Río

2020

The Story of Another Idea" is the title provided to the first and the last issues of Forum voor Architectuur en Daarmee Verbonden Kunsten edited by the Dutch representatives of Team 10. From 1959 to 1967, Forum journal was the media employed by Aldo van Eyck and Jaap Bakema to spread not only the ideas shared during Team 10's meetings but also their own research. The editorial board was comprised by other architects, like Herman Hertzberger or Joop Hardy, who developed outstanding careers afterwards. Despite the manifold authorships and formats, there is a common thread underlying all Forum's contributions: the criticism of the functional city and the definition of an alternative urban model based on human relationships. The deliberate selection of the word 'landscape' for the title intends to narrow the focus on the visual component of urban design, which will be a distinctive feature of their theoretical investigations and more idealistic proposals. Forum's issues published in this period are dissected by isolating those entries considered essential to reconstruct the evolution of the editors' critical discourse on the construction of contemporary city mainly as a reaction against the functionalist approach encouraged by outstanding members of CIAM years before. This article aims to shed light on the importance given by Dutch Team 10 to habitat configuration and visual composition in the design of contemporary city after the Second World War and the establishment of the Welfare State in the 1950s. The chronological ordering of selected contributions to Forum since 1959 until 1967, helps us to identify the changes in the editors' research on urban design, as well as to contextualize it in the post-war social, political, and cultural framework. To conclude, this study intends to demonstrate in which way Forum's content contributed to characterize an alternative Dutch post-war urban landscape.
