Bungalow with open plan: in the London Borough of Greenwich, gaps in the urban fabric have been closed with subsidized housing for senior citizens. Read moreabout this project by Bell Phillips Architects on pp. 18f.

Editorial

Visitor Centres A serious consideration of housing forms for the elderly is long overdue. What concepts comply with the needs and wishes of the older generation? In the current issue of Detail, we present various housing developments for senior citizens. The cultural background ranges from Japan to Switzerland, from Paris to Frankfurt and London, and a question is addressed that arises in all industrial nations. Typologies of homes for seniors are documented here that offer various levels of care in forms that range from dwelling clusters to solitary buildings integrated in the urban landscape. Health centres that provide special medical support and that contain communal zones are discussed as well as subsidized housing that offers old people – whether in wheelchairs or not – scope to find happiness within their own four walls. Our editorial team has taken a closer look at the Erika Horn care home in Graz, for example, as well as the Padre Rubinos social centre in Corunna. The views of residents there reveal how successful housing concepts can have a direct impact on the lives of people in advanced years. We hope these themes may be of inspiration to you in this field.

Studio Mumbai: MPavilion in Melbourne Text: Christian Schittich Architects: Studio Mumbai

According to various international rankings, the Australian metropolis Melbourne, with a population of 4,500,000, is one of the most attractive cities in the world in which to live. Its growth is correspondingly dynamic. The skyline, however, which is subject to constant change, consists largely of rapidly erected office towers of steel and glass. The contrast between this urban backdrop and the simple, handmade structure of bamboo and wood that forms the current MPavilion could scarcely be greater. The latter, in what resembles a traditional Asian form of construction, is the third temporary pavilion to be erected in the Queen Victoria Gardens since 2014. The pavilion will stand in this

historical park – situated to the south of the city’s business district – throughout the Australian summer, providing a cultural meeting point and location for various events. In contrast to the Serpentine Pavilion in London, however, which also served as a model for the Australian concept, there is no museum backing behind the scheme in Melbourne. Instead, a private organization, the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, bears the bulk of the costs. Every year, the eponymous founder of this institution entrusts a different international architect with the design. In 2014, local icon Sean Godsell developed a filigree metal structure with changeable openings in the facade and roof, for which

he was awarded the Detail Prize last November. In 2015, the British architect Amanda Levete created an ultralight object from carbon fibres and translucent plastics. For 2016, Naomi Milgrom selected the Indian architect Bijoy Jain and his Studio Mumbai. Whereas his two predecessors opted for state-of-the-art technology and material development, Bijoy Jain’s scheme is characterized by the exclusive use of natural building materials. In addition, handmade forms of construction were a major feature of the design: for Jain, the building process stands on an equal footing with the end product. Alongside the core team of architects, Studio Mumbai consists above all of craftsmen who are able to apply traditional Indian construction methods that have been handed down from one generation to another over the centuries. A further token of this return to tradition are the knotted ropes connecting the bamboo members, although these are additionally fixed with wooden pins, which resulted in a particularly elastic overall construction. As is common in the Mumbai region, the pavilion is covered with prefabricated mats made of Karvy branches – mats that were also produced in that region. On the inside of the roof and scarcely visible externally is an additional translucent membrane that acts as protection against rain. Somewhat off-centre is an opening in the roof which, according to Bijoy Jain, is meant to link the internal space with the sky. Directly beneath this, a golden receptacle symbolizes the immense importance of water for the world. With its simple, yet symbolic design, Studio Mumbai has managed to create a pavilion that is quite unspectacular at first sight, but that stands with self-assurance in the verdant surrounding landscape. In contrast to many comparable projects, it does not seek to be eye-catching at all costs. Only on closer examination does it reveal the subtlety of its concept. The present MPavilion, therefore, is a place of peace in an extremely lively metropolis – a city where upmarket architecture proves to be otherwise somewhat loud and seeks to attract attention to itself.

The New Design Museum in London Text: Heide Wessely Architects: John Pawson, OMA

A pair of jeans, a rotary dial telephone in 1970s green, an Avocet altimeter wrist watch – these are some of the everyday objects on display at the Design Museum in London, which have always been a particular source of its appeal. Founded in 1989 by renowned designer Terence Conran, the museum was located for 27 years in an old banana warehouse on the south bank of the Thames River. In addition to showcasing design objects, the museum has presented small yet significant architecture exhibitions. A Long History In 2011, Sir Terence Conran donated € 20.7 million for the museum’s move to a larger building: the old Commonwealth Institute in Kensington, once home to a permanent exhibition extolling life in the former British colonies. The imposing construction from 1962, with its swooping concrete roof, revealed its shortcomings early on: the roof was leaky, and buckets set out to catch rainwater often detracted from the items on exhibit. Never-

theless, the building by RMJM architects was historically listed, and stood vacant from 2002 onwards. Its condition was appropriately desolate when in 2008, a competition was announced to redevelop the complex; OMA and West 8 were the winners (see interview in Detail 1/2 2017). To cover the difficult and costly restoration and renovation of the central building, the local council partnered with a private investor, who was allowed to demolish the remaining buildings on site and replace them with three luxury apartment blocks. Old and New A later competition was held for the museum’s interior design, with the winning plans going to John Pawson. The London-based architect is known for his minimalist style, with clear lines and subtle detailing, as seen in Calvin Klein’s flagship stores and various private homes for well-heeled clients. Pawson’s signature is likewise evident in the new Design Museum, which is outfitted in

pale oak and glass with indirect lighting, fostering an atmosphere of calm. The contrast with the pre-existing structure allows the overlapping parabolic roof shells to assert their spatial dominance. These consist of alternating exposed concrete and a girder framework covered by lightweight woodwool panels. The three-level atrium with its tiered galleries thus function as a kind of inner frame for the original fabric, which is almost brutalist in nature. The atrium, to which a café and the museum shop have also been attached, serves as a central access zone. It is a place to see and be seen, on the stepped benches, stairs, and walkways. Displays in the high-ceilinged space are planned for the future; a system of hanging rails has already been installed. Museum, Education, Research Museums in England differ from those in Germany in several ways. While German museums serve mainly to showcase exhibitions, their English counterparts take on a broader institutional role that includes research and education. Whereas a museum membership in Germany means discounted admission fees, in England one receives actual club benefits, which are reflected by the different spatial arrangements. The new Design Museum includes a Members Room, the Swarovski Foundation Centre for Learning, seminar rooms, design studios, and an auditorium with 202 seats. The Sackler Library also has an outpost here, serving as a valuable source of information for designers and design students alike. Much of the museum’s space is used for lectures, workshops, and other events, and is only partially open to the public. Exhibitions This may explain why the area dedicated to the free, permanent exhibition has been relegated to the building’s uppermost floor. Despite a colorful wall with the words “Designer Maker User” signaling the show’s location and theme, its entrance is relatively narrow and sure to be tight with some

650,000 visitors expected annually. The same applies to the path through the densely-packed exhibition, which showcases nearly 1,000 design objects. More breathing room is available on the ground floor, which hosts temporary exhibitions where admission is charged. The inaugural show, “Fear and Love: Reactions to a Complex World,” presents 11 installations confronting current issues. Most of the works take a more abstract approach than the museum’s otherwise straightforward design content; an exception is OMA’s living room, which is outfitted with one design object from each European Union na-

tion. A Braun wall clock stands for Germany. Representing Great Britain is floral wallpaper by Osborne & Little, the family company of George Osborne, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer who resigned after the EU referendum. A strip curtain in the colors of the Union Jack lies on the floor; the colors of the other EU countries are still hanging. An old photograph behind the blinds depicts war-bombed Rotterdam – a sobering reminder of why the EU was originally established. Here it becomes clear that design is not only important for the form and function of consumer goods, but can also help us to understand developments at work within society.

Growing Old in One’s Own Neighbourhood – New Housing Forms for Old Age Text: Roland Pawlitschko

a

1

Statistically, the life expectancy of newborn children rises by two to three months each year. How long this trend will continue is scarcely predictable. One thing is certain, however, namely that people will reach an ever greater age as time goes on and that, alongside the demographic change that is taking place, a social change will increasingly make itself felt in our living, housing and constructional concepts. Senior citizens remain fit for much longer nowadays. They wish to participate in life in an active and autonomous fashion, and the lives they lead are by no means confined to the family circle – not least because many elderly people live on their own and/or

3

have no children; or they do have children, but these are scattered about the world. Independently of a person’s age, though, scarcely anyone does not strive for those essential elements that ideally define all family relationships: support, acknowledgement, security and protection. As a result, building for the elderly is particularly concerned with creating a tight social network in the immediate neighbourhood. Family ties In some instances, one can still observe that older people remain in the circle of the family, as was once the case in retirement houses on farms, for example (ill. 6). But

2

that is certainly not the rule today. That has to do, on the one hand, with the increasing fragmentation of family structures, but it often has to do quite simply with a lack of facilities. A modern version of a retirement house was planned by Deppisch Architects in response to a commission from a family near Munich (ills. 3 – 5). The parents had decided to make over their home to the four-person family of their daughter and to move into a newly erected house in the large apple orchard on the site. In order to take up as small an area of the garden as possible, yet wishing to achieve a more refined layout, the clients opted for a two-storey design, despite the limitations this im-

posed in terms of barrier-free construction. In this case, in contrast to historical models, the parents were not concerned with withdrawing from family life – quite the opposite: they wished to create a new focus for everyone. The ground floor, therefore – designed as a large living-cum-cookingcum-dining space – is open on three sides to the garden with large areas of glazing, and the impression of an inviting sense of openness is supported by slender steel columns with a diameter of only 8 cm, which bear the comparatively massive upper floor in laminated timber construction. The transparency, heightened by the absence of curtains or blinds, intensifies not only the links with the garden but also contact with the children and grandchildren in the old house. Additional space for joint activities is afforded by a south-facing terrace. Situated on the upper floor is the main entrance from the street as well as a bathroom, a bedroom and an office that is used by the entire family on occasion as a guest room. Elective affinities Senior citizens do not always enjoy enough space nor such good relations with their families to allow them to live independently yet in close proximity to each other. But that does not mean that elderly people have to live without firm social ties. This is demonstrated by a group of 11 women who have joined forces in Nuremberg under the motto “oldies living jointly active”. One of their aims is “to live together in a community, free but not alone, and with a maximum of autonomy” (ill. 1, 2) In their search for a suitable rentable property, the women came across a housing association that was receptive to new forms of living and prepared to rent two linked houses to them. The houses, dating from the 1930s, were divided into flats. Furthermore, the housing association agreed to modernize and convert the property in accordance with the group’s individual concepts and to plans drawn up by Semmer 5 Rammensee Dietz Architects.

In addition to the installation of entirely new service runs, the measures included the addition of steel balconies on the south face, the removal of the internal staircases in favour of a lift and access-gallery solution and the reorganization of the layouts. The underlying intention of all this was to create barrier-free access to all floors and a generous circulation area that would be conducive to chance encounters. The process of living together is strengthened by two further aspects. Firstly, on the ground floor, is a shared dwelling that provides space for mutual activities and entertaining guests. Secondly, the group of women formed a company constituted under civil

law that acts as a lessee in dealings with the housing association and that strengthens the cohesion of the group through a principle of mutual, equally shared responsibility and overall liability, jointly and severally (for example, in searching for subsequent tenants). Ultimately, all parties have profited from the agreement. The group of women now lives out its autonomous model of elective affinities, while the landlord has found tenants who regard his property as their own and accordingly treat it with care. In addition, the district has gained an urban element, the vitality of which cannot be overlooked.

Communities in dwelling clusters In recent times, a different communal form of living has emerged that is finding increasing popularity: the housing commune in which residents are not confined to single rooms, with bathrooms and kitchens used in common, but live instead in their own fully equipped dwellings within larger dwellings. In this way, tenants can organize a joint household without having to give up their needs for private space. Dwelling clusters of this kind were created by the housing cooperative “wagnis” on the site of the former Funkkaserne in Munich and form part of the housing project “wagnisART”. Grouped about two courtyards are

five buildings in a passive-energy form of construction, containing 138 barrier-free flats – both subsidized and freely financed dwelling units for families, couples, single persons, young and old (ills. 7– 12). This diversity was a deliberate part of the programme, but it also reflects the decidedly multivalent offer of “spaces for living, working and personal development” in the form of ateliers, offices, practices, workshops and spaces for various events and community activities”, plus planted roof terraces, a laundry with cafe and a cafeteria where one can eat. Among the special features of this housing complex, which was designed jointly by the

working partnership bogevischs buero and Shag Schindler Hable Architects, was a participative approach, whereby the future residents were involved in numerous project groups in almost all aspects of the design and organization and had a say in them. The aim of this was a mutual process of planning, construction and dwelling, whereby the members of the cooperative could contribute to these matters as far as possible. The fact that acquaintanceships and friendships are made and a kind of private network comes about at an early stage as a result of such regular cooperation is of advantage to all residents, and particularly the elderly among them – regardless of the

housing form for which they have opted. The fact that most of them are interested in the dwelling cluster with partly subsidized, partly freely financed 1–2-room individual flats is not surprising. Roughly 30 per cent of the overall living area is housing of this kind. The spatial requirements for such dwellings are also defined relatively clearly for the long term. (That may be contrasted with the needsof singles or pairs, for whom family planning is something that belongs to the future.) What’s more, at an early stage, elderly single people in particular are looking for ways to counteract a solitary existence and isolation in their later years. With wagnisART, a housing district full of vi-

15

14

tality has been created for people of all ages. It brings together in a good mix those with needs and others who have something to give. Not only members of the cooperative benefit from this, however. The offers and events are available to the surrounding area. Seniors’ housing as an impulse for a district A close relationship with the neighbourhood and the role of lending special impetus to a district are also distinguishing features of the “Peace” development with its 69 dwellings for the elderly (ills. 16 – 20). The developer is the Stiftung Alterswohnen, a foundation of the city of Zurich that, since the

1950s, has been involved in the erection of new housing in as many urban districts as possible. In this way, it has helped people aged 60 years and older to find high-quality dwellings in their own familiar neighbourhoods at reasonable prices. Thanks to its location on an important road and the central urban space about which the “Peace” scheme is laid out, but above all thanks to its unusual mix of uses, this development by pool architects has established itself as a local centre. In addition to the subsidized and freely financed dwellings – all built to the same standards, with bathrooms for handicapped people and with scope to convert the kitchens for wheelchair use if required – there are also three communal spaces, an alternative-medicine area, a home nursing-care base, a toy library, a nursery school and a parent-child centre. The fact that this coexistence of generations still functions harmoniously in the eyes of the residents after some years may be attributed not least to the carefully considered lines of access in the ground floor zone, where contact between children and passers-by is possible, but not contrived. The entire area is permeable and interwoven with a network of linking routes both inside and outside the buildings. For example, the points of access to the children’s facilities are oriented to the central open space, while the main entrances to the dwellings are situated in the streets running round the development. Nevertheless, in every block there is a second entrance that leads to the centre of the complex. Circulation areas and communal realms are conducive to an informal sense of community in which residents can opt everyday anew for public life or contact with neighbours, or alternatively can simply go their own way. Seniors’ residence as an urban district Not far from Lisbon, the social foundation of the banking sector erected a housing complex for senior citizens, the small-scale urban structure of which creates stability and order in an indeterminate peripheral zone consisting of housing and commercial de-

velopments, sporting facilities and open fields. The ensemble, designed by Guedes Cruz Architects, consists of 52 cubic structures and a service building that exhibit many of the qualities of an urban district. These are, above all, the outcome of a balanced interplay of private and public areas (ills. 13 –15). The closely spaced, sensitively designed two-room dwellings, which are flooded with light and naturally air conditioned, are enclosed within a network of narrow lanes, broad paths and squares, so that the public spaces form an extension of the living realm, so to speak, and help to create a congenial atmosphere reminiscent of Mediterranean villages.

Conclusion: Community as the decisive factor Freedom of barriers, a fitting out suitable for seniors and uncomplicated access to medical care where necessary are doubtless of great importance in the lives of the elderly. But their physical and psychological well-being depend above all on how successfully they can relate to their environment and to other people – more so than in the case of young people. As the above examples show, appropriately designed buildings can support both aspects in such a way that a high living quality is attainable, and the move into an old-people’s home will have to be made only when there is really no alternative.

In former times, the Royal Navy had its base in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and the impressive buildings still standing there are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also of significance is the Royal Observatory by the architect Sir Christopher Wren. But there are poorer, neglected areas in the borough as well, with a lot of public housing dating from the post-war years. In part, these dwellings had their own garages – often disused and in a run-down state – which were scattered about the district on small plots of land. The borough council therefore decided to use these areas to develop small, single-storey houses for senior citizens, with the further aim of freeing larger housing for families. Six plots

of various sizes were available, on which a single house type was to be erected in an additive, terraced form. In all, 22 dwellings were created on this basis. The largest development comprises six dwellings set next to each other. By using a timber load-bearing structure with a high degree of prefabrication it was possible to reduce the construction period and the costs, allowing more to be invested in the brick facades. Depending on the location, these are either in mottled red or paler ochre tones. The large lantern lights in the galvanized steel roofs lend these small bungalows a bolder presence in the surroundings. They also allow daylight to enter without permitting views into the houses. Re-

cessed entrance zones afford immediate, barrier-free access to the living area, comprising a dining corner, kitchen strip and living room. The open layout allows greater latitude in the way residents use their dwellings. An impressive feature is the spatial effect created by the roof, with surfaces of different pitch that slope down in opposite directions to the middle. The bedroom is oriented to a small garden, and a further external space adjoining the road can serve various uses. Thanks to wider doors and passageways and a large bathroom, there is no hindrance to wheelchair users. The dimensions actually exceed the requirements of the local authority for barrier-free construction. A central goal

∂ 2017 ¥ 3

was to invest in high-quality architecture that is so attractive that elderly people would willingly leave their large dwellings and move in here. That also explains the generous area of 84 m² per unit, which is generally occupied by only one to two persons. Photovoltaic panels were installed on the roofs, and the window frames are of wood. The concept seeks to allow residents to look after themselves for as long as possible. An emergency call button can be pressed should they need help. If long-term aid becomes necessary, one can apply to the local authority for a care person. Even 24-hour aid is possible: an additional room for flexible use provides adequate space.

Little more than a year ago, Ms Koria from India moved into Colomb Street, Greenwich, a development comprising four houses. Her grandson translated her interview with Detail. Detail: How were you able to get this house? Ms Koria: The public housing block in Greenwich in which I lived previously for 25 years was to be demolished. The ground floor dwelling I had there was larger than this one. Then the council offered me the present house, and I moved into it. Was it hard for you to move? The old dwelling was linked with many memories, of course. The family had lived there. But when my husband died, it was better for me to attempt a new beginning, and the move here was a good step. How are things for you here? The neighbours are very nice, and I can get everywhere easily. The house is light and airy. I like the high ceilings in the living room, and the large bathroom is really luxurious. The fact that you can move from one room to the next in a circle. pleases me, too. There’s no wind lobby, so it can be a bit draughty in winter, but that’s only for a few days a year. Otherwise everything’s fine here. There’s a pub opposite, which is sometimes a bit loud, but I can send guests there when things get too much for me; and if I have to shop for larger things, someone from the family helps me. Looking after the garden is a bit hard, but my grandson can help me with that, too. It’s OK.

The present housing development for the elderly, containing 35 dwellings, was erected by the German Caritas organization as an addition to the neighbouring St Joseph’s care home for senior citizens. In the new block, emphasis is placed on a concept of allowing elderly people to lead an independent life. At the same time, residents can use the facilities of the care home and take part in the events organized there. The two buildings are situated on the southern edge of an urban street block on which other independent structures stand; for example, a church, the rectory, a day-care centre for children and a civic centre with a municipal library. In other words, the neigh-

bourhood provides a diverse social environment. In the middle of the street block is a park-like planted area intersected by semipublic paths. The site of the new structure was previously occupied by a nurses’ home and the former rectory. A conversion of the existing buildings to comply with the proposed new functions would have led to extensive constructional measures and compromises in terms of the specified housing quality. A decision was made, therefore, to demolish the old fabric. The new development is divided into three clearly legible building tracts of different height. These are linked with each other by a pergola and form a small courtyard next

to the care home for old people. The courtyard was conceived as a meeting place for residents and as a location for community activities. As a result of the stepped height of the building and the projections and setback areas of the facades, the residence mediates between the heterogeneous neighbouring functions and is well integrated in its surroundings. In the new structure, two different dwelling types are available: 24 that are free of barriers and 10 that are suitable for wheelchair users. The former are located in the two northern tracts, while the latter are housed in the southern section together with a four-

person shared flat on the ground floor. A communal garden is envisaged on the roof of the north-eastern part of the complex, although so far it has not been possible to implement this for cost reasons. The dwellings The dwellings are reached via a central open staircase with a lift and two access balconies that abut each other in a T-shaped form. The facade is articulated by various projections and setback areas. For example, the entrances to the individual dwellings are recessed to create small private approach zones. Both dwelling types – those free of barriers and those suitable for wheelchair users – were designed as 2-room flats. To promote contact between residents, the

kitchens have a large window overlooking the access balconies. The architects also drew up different layout options and developed model kitchen forms from which residents could choose. All bathrooms have floor-level showers and non-slip mosaic tiling. Handgrips were fixed to the solid wall construction according to needs. The storage space in the dwellings can also be used to park a wheelchair. The living rooms and bedrooms – which are separately accessible from the hall – are situated along the outer facade of the building to prevent overlooking from the communal areas. Each of these rooms has a door connecting it with the balcony zone, which extends along the entire length of the building. The rooms can be individually furnished. Recesses 60 cm deep afford space for cup-

boards or shelving. On request, residents could have inbuilt furnishings designed by the architects. In the larger dwelling type for wheelchair users, the bedroom is linked with the living room by an additional door, thus enhancing the impression of a generous spatial environment. The decisive factor of the planning was to create layouts that are free of barriers or alternatively that are accessible for wheelchair users. In accordance with German norms, a turning radius of 1.20 m (for a walking frame, for example) was foreseen in the barrier-free dwellings. In those for wheelchair use, the radius was 1.50 m, so that the rooms are somewhat more ample in the latter case. The barrier-free type has an area of 47.2 m2 and that for wheelchair use an area of 59.5 m2.

This single-storey development in Tōjō represents a special design solution in terms of housing for the elderly. The rectilinear ensemble extending along the Nariwa River is divided into small cubic elements and covers an area almost 40 ≈ 180 m in size. It consists of five housing groups for short- and long-term residence, two blocks for day-care facilities and one for the administration. The last differs from the rest of the complex by virtue of its cantilevered upper floor. All entrances are from the access route along the northern edge of the site. Each of the five housing groups is articulated into two units of equal size linked by a shared sanitary block. A spacious kitchen-living area in eve-

ry unit serves as a central meeting place for the ten dwellings laid out round the outside. These, in turn, are divided into three subgroups. Each resident has a private realm nearly 15 m² in area, which consists of two linked spaces: a bedroom with a doublepitched roof as a retreat and a small private living area in the intermediate space to the adjoining dwelling. The living area is divided from the central communal realm by a sliding paper screen. This hierarchical spatial order is accentuated by the horizontal lines of the timber roof structure. The light-coloured surfaces were achieved with the use of oriented-strand boarding internally and galvanized steel panels to the facades.

To comply with modern needs, the former retirement home and health-care centre in Küsnacht near Lake Zurich was replaced by a new development. A convincing feature of the architects’ winning competition scheme was its integration in the landscape. Standing on top of a low-rise structure inserted in the slope of the site are two angled volumes containing 99 one-room apartments and 11 flats. Generous seating facilities and a lighting system that takes account of everyday activities in the centre have made the tapering corridors vital communal spaces. The peripheral balcony zone with perforated metal balustrades also lends a lively sense of depth to the facade, affording every resident a private, covered outdoor space. The communal zones on the ground floor are popular meeting places, where catering and care facilities are situated together with administrative functions. An important objective was to comply with the Swiss Minergie Eco standard. The energy-saving concept was based on a compact building volume, a well insulated outer skin and generous natural lighting. The reinforced concrete skeleton frame was reduced to a structural minimum and consists in part of recycled concrete. A large proportion of the basic heating load is covered by 23 geothermal probes. As a contribution to the regional identity of the scheme, Küsnacht larch veneers were specified for doors and wall linings.

Site plan scale 1:4000

On the site of a former industrial railway station in the north-west of Paris, the new district of Clichy-Batignolles is currently undergoing development. The planning of this area, with mixed uses and an extensive park at its centre, is based on ecological priniciples. According to the proposals, this scheme will link the surrounding areas of the 17th arrondissement with each other. Not far from the park is a street block that is trapezoidal on plan and incorporates a mixture of uses, including a home for the elderly, retail businesses, local government housing and owner-occupied dwellings. In addition, there are spaces for various activities, for church services etc. Adjoining the council housing to the east, the present retirement home occupies a dominant position in the block. Other uses are separated from it by a semi-public area to which a ground floor restaurant and the central community space for residents and visitors are oriented. Abutting the neighbouring building is a courtyard that allows daylight to enter the surrounding spaces and about which the various building volumes and terraces rise in stepped form. On the upper floors, rows of residents’ rooms with angled facades are lined up next to each other. The rooms are served by a lift and staircase core with an adjoining atrium. The double rooms on the top floor have access to a peripheral roof terrace, whereas the outdoor spaces to the single rooms on the levels below are small loggias. In view of the advanced age of the senior citizens, their radius of activity is relatively small. For the architects, therefore, it was all the more important to allow views out of the dwellings – despite the close proximity of neighbouring buildings – so that residents could participate at least visually in the urban life around them. The outer walls of each room are turned at an angle to each other, affording residents a better view from their beds. That was how the triangular balconies came about and conversely the internal wood-lined corner recesses. The zigzagging facade design lends the building a striking appearance, not least because it is clad with alternating silver and red aluminium panels.

Demographic developments and ongoing structural changes are causing shifts in society. The number of people who require 24-hour care is on the increase. At the same time, the support provided by family and relatives is declining. The city of Vienna is reacting to the challenge posed by this with a geriatric reform. As part of this programme of renewal, the existing geriatric centre situated in the Donaustadt district has been refurbished and extended. The aim of these measures is to create a living environment for residents that qualitatively meets their spatial needs and reflects their age and the nature of their disabilities. The new care home, which forms part of the eastern socio-

medical centre known as the Donauspital, provides accommodation for 328 residents. The zigzagging layout of the existing structure dating from 1982 was augmented to create a compact form consisting of two offset cubic structures. As a result of this layout and the ring-like circulation routes about two spacious atria, residents are able to do their rounds without erring into blind alleys. The “dementia trails”, as they are called, are especially important for people suffering from this disorder in order to be able to get about. As such, the trails are a vital element of the building design. The new single- and double-room layout was fitted into the existing cross-wall grid. Projecting glazed loggias

provide residents with their own external realm with barrier-free access. This can be adapted to various needs with glazing, wood or textile elements that are movable in part and lend the large smooth facade areas a certain depth. Erected round the refurbished existing building is an L-shaped, new structure three storeys high with wards for pulmonary diseases, prolonged mechanical ventilation and persistent vegetative-state patients, as well as a day nursery. The reception and entrance hall are situated in a single-storey linking tract. The planted courtyards and the two atria – enlivened by art installations – ensure a good sense of orientation and diverse links with the outdoor realm.

Erika Horn Residential Care Home in Graz Dietger Wissounig Architekten, Graz

Without the large sign over the entrance announcing the Erika Horn Residential Care Home, one might think this two-storey timber structure was an office building or a hotel. Named after the Austrian gerontologist, the development certainly bears little resemblance to a conventional home for the elderly, and that was precisely what the developer wanted: the residential element should dominate, and care aspects should be unobtrusive. Although senior citizens require support, they should be able to live as they would at home as far as possible and be involved in daily life. This was achieved through the division of the development into comprehensible housing communities with large common areas at the centre, thus stimulating a sense of fellowship. Here, too, meals are prepared and people dine, so that residents can participate in domestic activities such as cooking or laying tables – much as they would at home, only less autonomously. Contact with the outside world also plays an important role. From each of the living areas there is at least one barrier-free exit to the external realm. Timber paved terraces and sheltered gardens with seating groups invite people to linger awhile. And even less mobile residents enjoy links with the natural environment and experience the changing light at different times of day and in the course of the year as a result of the generous areas of glazing and the atria.

The New Building Background, Concept, Design Text: Julia Liese

The site for this new home for senior citizens is located in the Andritz district of Graz. Ten architectural practices were invited to participate in the competition, which required accommodation for 105 residents in seven housing communities. Dietger Wissounig Architects implemented this with a clearly articulated two-storey development in a mixed form of construction. Each of the housing groups – three on the ground floor and four on the upper level – is laid out around an atrium. At the heart of the seven communities is a central zone, the so-called “village square”, where key functions are located. The residents’ dwellings – 13 single rooms and a double room in each community – are grouped about a large communal space, which serves as a dining area, lounge and meeting place. The individually furnished rooms of residents are private retreats oriented by means of different, two-part windows to the park-like grounds. On one side, a glazed door affords access to a small external space; on the other side, a low bench-like construction at the foot of the window can be used as a seat or as a surface for plants. Residents thereby enjoy a great deal of natural light. The private realms are distinguished from the communal areas by means of different floor finishings, and the white doors, which are contrasted with the wooden wall finishings, help residents find the entrances to their rooms more easily.

“The house is wonderfully bright” Views of Residents

Johann B. (95 years old) My wife and I considered for a long time whether we should go into a home for senior citizens. We had lived for nearly 50 years in our flat, and we wanted to remain in the same district at all costs. When we found out from an acquaintance of ours that a new home was opening in Andritz, we immediately decided to try to get in there. At that time, my wife was in hospital for a long spell, so I moved in here on my own, and she joined me later. We were given a room together, so that I could be with my wife, and she could also receive the care she needed from the nurses. After she died, however, I moved into a

single room. All in all, I feel very well here. The nurses are nice. I go walking every day in the open air, and I even do a bit of training on the fitness equipment. I must say, since I’ve been here, I’ve become much stronger and more mobile. Margarethe P. (86 years old) I used to live alone in a second-floor flat without a lift. In the end, during the final weeks I was there, I wasn’t able to leave my ÄƎÐČČýğéŁ Xýğ±Ð - ÷yƍÐ ¦ÐÐğ ÷МРýğ Ũ÷Ð ±yœÐ home, though, I’ve become much more mobile again, and I’m very pleased about that. I’ve made new contacts and friends within

my community. We get on very well. In the morning, I prepare breakfast for my fellow residents, which we take together – as in a family. I wasn’t used to that anymore. XĩĘÐŨýĘÐś ƎÐ ňŵyœœÐČÀ ŨĩĩÀ ¦ŵŨ Ũ÷yŨŐś yČČ part of living together. When the company is too much and gets on top of me, I can always withdraw to my room for some peace and quiet. That’s something I value a lot. Elfriede M. (74 years old) The house is wonderfully bright. Although I’m in a wheelchair, I can look out of the window, which is something I find very pleasing, because that way I can always see what the weather is doing outside. Friederike R. (84 years old) At last I have a garden! All I had in my previous flat was a small balcony. Now I can go out without any barriers and see how the plants are growing and flowering there. We cultivate a raised bed together in which we planted vegatables last spring and which we take it in turns to water. We were really proud of what we harvested in the autumn. It’s something I couldn’t have done in my previous home. When I feel up to it, I take two big turns around the house. My favourite place is the walkway along the stream.

In the past 50 years, a paradigm change has taken place In the field of inpatient care and support for the elderly – away from the model of invalids in need of treatment to that of residents living in groups who are dependent on care, but who experience the sense of security and normality one finds in a family. The Curatorium for Aid for the Elderly (KDA) has developed a model of a housing community that allows residents to determine their own everyday lives autonomously as far as possible. The Erika Horn Care Home, erected by the Geriatric Health Centres Graz (GGZ), is oriented to this model. The people who live here are mostly of advanced age and suffer from typical illness-

es that afflict the elderly, such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease and cardiovascular disorders. The average duration of their residence is about one and a half years, and for the majority of residents, the care home is the final place of stay in their lives. The care concept is based on the idea of enabling elderly people to live as they would at home, but in this case in housing groups of comprehensible size with a maximum of 15 persons. The centre of the communities is formed by a common living-dining area with an integral kitchen. The dwellings – mostly one-room apartments – represent a personal realm that provides scope for withdrawal.

Every housing group has direct access to outdoor areas, either to the garden or a terrace. Here, residents can jointly cultivate vegetables and herbs in raised beds or planting boxes. The garden was specially designed for elderly people and those with dementia. Paths with plenty of bench seats provide scope for walks around the building and always lead back to the starting point. The organization of everyday life on a mutual basis plays a major role. As far as possible, residents are integrated into the daily round of household activities, such as cooking, laying tables, etc., according to their experiences, needs and abilities. Even

a passive form of participation has a positive effect. People suffering from dementia, for example, orient themselves according to sounds, such as the clatter of crockery, or smells, such as the aroma of coffee. That creates a sense of security and wellbeing. Alongside the regular staff, so-called “everyday carers” act as contact persons for the seniors. In consultation with residents, they organize the daily programme, providing support and taking care of household duties – not unlike a housewife in a large family. They also attend to events like annual celebrations, community games, reading to residents or decorations in the com-

munity. In the foyer, the so-called “village square”, activities like religious services and concerts take place. Care activities are integrated in the familiar daily life of residents according to needs. In that respect, senior citizens living here are treated as individuals with their own specific social and cultural backgrounds. In addition, the self-help capacity of older people is supported. Living in a community conveys the sense of security and protection that a person suffering from dementia needs. The aim of the care and support concept is to strengthen the existing abilities of old people and create a maximum degree of

living quality and personal freedom, while at the same time providing adequate security. The work of the team is aimed at helping residents (especially those suffering from dementia) to exploit their scope for activity and feel themselves as individuals capable of acting independently.

Martina Pojer is responsible for the business management of the care homes and is director of the Erika Horn home. Prof. (FH) Dr Gerd Hartinger MPH is director of the GGZ. Renate King is responsible for care services at the Peter Rosegger Care Home.

“Everything depends on the atmosphere” – an Interview with Dietger Wissounig Interview: Julia Liese

1

Detail: Since the founding of your practice in 2003, you have implemented nine buildings for senior citizens. Was that a deliberate focus? Dietger Wissounig: It was more a matter of coincidence really. My very first project was Ũ÷Ð ÷ĩĘÐ âĩœ śÐğýĩœ ±ýŨýƖÐğś ýğ XŨÐýğâÐČÄ (ill. 2, 3) – the first competition I won. With that I became independent and set up my own practice. One reason why this project interested me was that it was specified to be in a timber form of construction and was to be as environmentally friendly as possible. This reference work subsequently made it easier for me to be accredited as a participant in competitions for housing for the elderly. In the meantime, we have implemented all kinds of building projects – but certainly there are a lot of old people’s homes among them. What was your approach to the project at that time? First of all, I studied material on the subject of providing care for the elderly, and I came y±œĩśś y ğŵĘ¦Ðœ ĩâ ýğŨÐœÐśŨýğé ây±ŨśŁ XĩĘÐthing I haven’t forgotten are the studies by the Curatorium for Care of the Elderly in Germany. What I discovered there, among other things, was that daylight has a considerable influence on the well-being of elderly people – on all of us, of course – but in view of the fact that people in need of care spend most of their time indoors, this aspect plays a major role in their lives. Translated into architecture, that means planning a maximum area of glazing and creating strong links with the external realm. This allows residents to follow the course of the day and the year indoors even when Ũ÷ÐƑ yœÐ ¦ÐÄœýÄÄÐğŁ #ĩœ Ũ÷Ð XŨÐýğâÐČÄ ÄÐƍÐČopment, I implemented this daylight concept in the form of a central conservatorylike structure that extends over three floors (ill. 2). It was difficult to convince the clients of the need for this space, but ultimately it was much appreciated. In the current Erika Horn project, light and the 2 outdoor realm also play an important role.

How did you implement these aspects there? The kitchen-cum-living rooms in the housing communities all receive daylight from two sides through large areas of glazing. On one side is the atrium and on the other side the garden. Everywhere it is possible to go outdoors – on to a balcony or a terrace or into gardens of various design. How have your homes for the elderly developed further between 2003 and the present day? Fourteen years ago, the housing-community ĘĩÄÐČ Ǝyś ğĩŨ śĩ ±ĩĘĘĩğŁ Xýğ±Ð Ũ÷ÐğÀ care concepts have changed, and one sees that reflected in the architecture.

In what way? In the past, you commonly had a layout consisting of a central corridor with rooms to left and right and a dining hall in the middle. Today, the trend is clearly to a division into housing communities in comprehensible groups with decentralized living and dining areas. The sizes of the groups vary, of course, depending on the people who operate the homes. In the one in Nenzing, for example, there are only eight residents to a group, with two groups serviced jointly by one station. In the Peter Rosegger home (ills. 5, 6) – the forerunner of the present building – there were 13 people in a group; and here in the Erika Horn house there

are 15. Both these developments are of a model character because the housing-community concept has been consistently applied by the operators. In Austria, therefore, they play a pioneering role. In other words, the design of the building depends largely on the care concept of the operator? That’s right. Even my first design for a home âĩœ śÐğýĩœ ±ýŨýƖÐğśÀ XŨÐýğâÐČÄÀ Ǝyś ĩœýÐğŨÐÄ Ũĩ a housing-community concept, and on every floor, small lounge areas were foreseen for enjoying coffee and cakes and for other communal activities. The spatial pogramme, though, and the central operation of the home were specified by the client. Meals are, therefore, taken in the large dining room on the ground floor, and that is quite different from what I would have wished. In their layout and facade design, your two most recent care homes, Erika Horn and

4

Peter Rosegger, are quite similar. Was that deliberate or a coincidence? Both homes are run by the same organization, the Geriatric Health Centres Graz, so that the spatial programme was more or less identical. In addition, we worked with the same team. Not surprisingly, therefore, things were solved in a similar way. The specified number of 15 residents per housing community in the Erika Horn scheme – compared with 13 in the Peter Rosegger home – resulted in a somewhat broader layout. Because we exceeded the specified limits in terms of escape routes and fire compartments in part, in the current Brücken project, we have linked up the external terraces on the upper floor.

systems should function – for the laundry or medicines, for example. The discussions were extremely constructive and well ordered, and the working climate was very pleasant. Responsibilities were clearly defined from the outset. We were responsible for the design and architecture; the operators had the know-how for care activities. In the course of time, that led to an enhancement of understanding and knowledge on both sides. When the development was finished and we showed groups through the building together, it sometimes happened that we inadvertantly swapped roles: the director of the home would explain the architecture, and I explained the care concept.

How did your collaboration with the management work? All matters of current concern were discussed in a weekly meeting; for example, questions of furnishing or how the logistic

Were there problematic issues where you and the client didn’t agree? Not really. From the very beginning, the operator saw his concept of running the home reflected in our proposals. That’s why

the suggestions we made were met with open arms at every stage. It’s something rare, but in this case it happened, and that made the work very agreeable indeed. How was that aspect in other projects? In the case of the home in Nenzing, the client required us to incorporate small windows in our design – 80 ≈ 110 cm in size. The idea behind this was that residents should be reminded of their own traditional homes in the Bregenz Forest area. One can understand this intention, but unfortunately the size of the windows is nowhere near what is necessary for modern daylighting requirements. In the end, we solved the problem by creating a greater number of these small windows (ill. 4). In building for elderly people, one thinks first all of avoiding barriers. Do other aspects play an important role, too? Of course one has to take account of such matters in the planning. Hygiene is another important aspect. But in my opinion, everything depends on the atmosphere. That is of the utmost importance. As an architect, I have to create a friendly, homely environment. In the final analysis, a home for the elderly is a housing development – and probably the last one in which the respective residents will live. The Erika Horn and Peter Rosegger homes were constructed largely of timber, like many other old-people’s homes you have designed. Why is that? On the one hand, most homes for senior citizens in Austria are located in rural areas, so that it seems natural to adopt traditional local timber forms of construction. In addition, almost everyone has a feeling for the material wood, especially when it is used internally. But quite apart from that, wood has positive hygienic properties. The surface is actually antibacterial – an attribute that can be exploited only in certain areas, of course. Where hard cleaning substances have to be used, this quality of 7 wood is nullified.

Many of your old-people’s homes are clad externally with wood as well. We believe that buildings with rear-ventilated facades have a longer life and function better than those with full thermal insulation. Why do you believe a rear-ventilated facade is the better solution? A timber facade is, of course, more expensive than a normal outer skin with full thermal insulation. But today, energy constraints tend more and more in the direction of passive-energy construction, and in my opinion, the composite thermally insulated facade system has its limits. The compact layer is not capable of breathing; and the thicker the layer of insulation is, the more damage will occur. Wood has the problem, though, that, when used externally, it turns grey in time. How do you manage to convince clients to support you in view of that?

We attempt to convey the idea that environmental considerations can be of higher value and that an organization or a company can present itself outwardly to advantage in this way. In the case of the Peter Rosegger home for the elderly, we executed the entire plinth zone in timber. The client even accepted the fact that the facing layer of boarding would possibly have to be renewed after 15 years. Have you ever considered how you would like to live when you are old? No. I haven’t thought about that yet. I believe people are made in such a way that they like to avoid that topic. Dietger Wissounig was born in 1969. He studied building construction at the polytechnic in Villach and subsequently architecture at the University of Technology in Graz. After obtaining his diploma, he worked for various offices in the fields of health, housing and transport construction. In 2003, he founded his own practice, Dietger Wissounig Architects.

Padre Rubinos Social Centre in Corunna Elsa Urquijo Architects, La Coruña

Galicians say that Corunna lies at the end of the world, an allusion to the time when the earth was thought to be flat. Even today, the Atlantic and the horizon are the dominant features of this peninsula at the north-western tip of Spain. One sees the ocean, smells it, feels the breeze almost everywhere in the city. The horizontal lines of the Padre Rubinos Social Centre – inspired by the boundary between sea and sky – were of great importance, and the flat, restrained design of Elsa Urquijo, the architect, is set off against the hilly topography. A sober design language was also important to the client, Amancio Ortega – one of the wealthiest persons in the world – whose foundation financed this project. The outcome is a vibrant location that radiates a sense of calm and where various social facilities are united: a shelter for the homeless, a children’s nursery and a home for the elderly. This institution is run by 11 nuns, 129 secular employees and 104 voluntary assistants. The remarkable social commitment found here is attributable to the fact that the architecture provides a great deal of space for community activities. The church and the square at the centre of the development are open to all. For the elderly residents who live here, the square is the gateway to the world, where people of all ages come together and where the exchange between different generations is lived out to the full.

“Architecture Should Be Unobtrusive” A conversation with Elsa Urquijo Interview: Heide Wessely

The Elsa Urquijo practice is located in the historical city centre of Corunna in an older building with typical Galician gallerias. These glazed, unheated oriels were originally used to store food or to dry washing. Elsa Urquijo has pragmatically converted them into spaces to house building material samples, books and files. But her studio also contains other objects that lend it a sensuous, relaxed note. Her work as an architect covers a broad spectrum. She first made a name for herself with a fashion-shop design for the textile manufacturer Zara. But she has also executed projects with a social content for the Amancio Ortega Foundation. Detail spoke to this successful, yet seemingly shy architect in her office. Detail: What is the most important aspect of your architecture? Elsa Urquijo: To create architecture in which people feel well. We don’t want to be outlandish and attract attention with our buildings. Our architecture should be unobtrusive. When you enter a space, you may feel calm or relaxed – maybe excited or even stressed. The surroundings always influence your emotions, without your being aware of

the cause. My aim is to stimulate a positive feeling in people through their subconscious perception. There are more women than men working in your office. Is it easier for women to stimulate positive feelings through architecture? I don’t know. There was no intention behind the fact that 17 women work here and only four men: it simply came about that way. Possibly it’s easier for me to establish a link with someone of the same sex; and naturally, women differ from men in many respects. In particular, they express their feelings in quite a different way. That’s certainly reflected in the architecture in some form or other. On the other hand, there are masculine women and feminine men, so that I’m not so sure about the influence of a person’s sex. What’s probably more decisive is the manner of working. When I gain a commission, I start writing first of all. In that way, I can focus on the sensory impressions a building should evoke. I write everything down that occurs to me. Only afterwards do I start to visualize the space, the building, the architecture.

Your office became big with shop design. One of your most important clients is the clothing company Zara. How did you make contact with them? It was pure coincidence. I was chatting with a friend who had links with Zara. Corunna is a small place and good for making contacts. Everyone knows everyone else here. We’d been active in the field of shop design for roughly ten years and had done a lot of things for the Galician fashion designer Adolfo Domínguez. That was a good reference when Zara was looking for an architect for its shop. In comparison to a fashion shop, the Padre Rubinos social centre was a major project. How did you acquire it? We had previously built a children’s nursery for the Amancio Ortega Foundation. A further reference project was the headquarters of the social organization Proyecto Hombre – both of them restrained pieces of architecture with horizontal lines. That was very important for Amancio Ortega. His concept was for a simple, well organized building with an underlying aesthetic order. He also attached great importance to the human scale, and he wanted warm finishing materials. He loves architecture and has a special intuition. He had a keen eye for things that were not quite optimized. He played a major role in the planning process, yet allowed us a great deal of latitude. How do profit-oriented projects differ from those with a social objective? The greatest difference lies in the question of time. A shop has to open by a certain date; with a social centre, you have more time to consider things. But our working method is the same in both cases. Initially, we consider a concept that embodies our values: clarity, functional efficiency, beauty and sustainability. They are important to us, regardless whether it’s a shop interior or a large-scale work. That is also a reason why we were awarded the Padre Rubinos commission: we take an interior just as seriously as the overall architecture.

The Padre Rubinos Foundation History, Goals, Significance Text: Heide Wessely

The Padre Rubinos Foundation takes its name from an eponymous Jesuit priest who, in 1946, opened a shelter for poor people. This was followed some years later by a kindergarten and, in 1971, by a home for the elderly. The new development has much the same spatial programme, except that a church now stands at the centre, and eleven nuns live here. They run the homeless shelter, which is situated in the western part of the complex separated from the other functions. Alcohol and drug problems and the sometimes difficult social behaviour of the occupants made this division necessary. The other realms – the multipurpose hall,

administration, church, old-people’s home and nursery – are grouped about a large central square that, like the church, is open to the public. Here, the different generations come together: young children are brought to the kindergarten by their parents, and sprightly senior citizens push infirm old people in wheelchairs across the square. The interaction of various age groups together with outside support from voluntary helpers are key features of this institution. As a result, residents maintain their contact with the outside world. In the computer room, they can even learn from young people how to send an e-mail, or they can

grow vegetables in the greenhouse, where the children from the crèche also cultivate a bed. One wing of the home is taken up by various services provided by professional therapists. Here, one can develop manual skills with paper, turning wheels or climbing up wall bars. Classical hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and manual therapy also form part of the programme. A special feature is the infirmary: two fully fledged hospital rooms allow residents to convalesce in their own familiar surroundings. In the case of less serious illnesses or after an operation in hospital, elderly people are nursed back to health here by trusted members of staff.

There is also an X-ray unit to help ascertain whether a patient has broken a bone and needs external treatment. The home provides three levels of care. These range from a closed section for patients suffering from more serious illnesses, including dementia, to a hotel-like tract where there are also double rooms for couples. There are 40 day-care places, too, where outside patients can avail themselves of the therapy services. The social centre, which is used largely by elderly people, is a lively location. This is attributable in part to the open areas on various levels, which form interfaces and meeting points; for example, in the upper

private garden, where the paths of nuns and first-floor residents intersect. For most of the senior citizens, who are often very devout, the contact with nuns is of great importance. The communal spaces in the old people’s residence and the group rooms with their large windows are both oriented to the same courtyard, where seniors sit on benches and watch the children playing. After church, when the weather is fine, the benches are usually all occupied, and one sees in the faces of residents how they enjoy the sight of the young people. In this way, the first stage of life is coupled with the last in a natural cycle.

The essential features include resilient floor and wall finishings that are easy to maintain and simple to clean. Since the materials had to create a bright and friendly appearance here, high-pressure laminates (HPL) that are resistant to impact and scratching were chosen for the walls, with an oak surface pattern. These were manufactured by hot-pressing several layers of paper impregnated with melamine and phenolic resin. The printing on the paper determines the visual effect. The vinyl floor finishes were executed in a similar manner. In this case, a layer of PVC is lined on top with the requisite decorative finish. Vinyl floors consist of seven layers in all: a layer of polyester fleece, an impact-sound-insulation layer, a layer of glass-fibre matting, the PVC layer, the decorative layer (also in PVC), a covering layer and a coat of varnish. The texture of a wood surface is created by heating the coating layer to 200 °C and rolling the pattern into it. In the rooms, the architects chose a monochrome grey coloration and for the other areas, a pale oak tone.

“I love this place” The Views of Three Residents

Generosa R. (101 years old, left) Building this home for senior citizens was important because society’s perception of elderly people and where they live was not very positive. They were seen to exist largely iso-lated in old, cold, damp buildings – as if they belonged to another world. The old Padre Rubinos home where I lived for 12 years was like that. I was very happy when I heard that this beautiful, new modern building was to be erected. The architecture, the fitting out, the service provided, the people who work here all contribute to our well-being. The building itself and its relevance in society seem to have completely changed the way old people are regarded. We feel part of society again. It’s wonderful, too, when the children from the nursery visit us and sing songs. Sometimes we go there to listen to the stories the teachers read to them, and now and then, one of us reads to them as well. It’s very important to remain mentally alert. If your brain begins to go, you feel inse-

cure and lose your orientation: you’re no longer sure of yourself and start to feel afraid. Fortunately, although the house here is very large, it is well organized. You can find your way about easily. What’s more, the many activities on offer, like memory training, reading, writing, gymnastics and lectures, help to keep you mentally fit. Margarita H. (85 years old, right) Since we’ve been living in this modern building, I see a lot more up-to-date people. The staff is young and lively and always in a good mood. There are also voluntary workers from outside who help us plant vegetables in the greenhouse or show us how to write an e-mail in the computer room. It’s amazing how many options we have. We never get bored. It’s also good that there are nuns here. My belief is very important to me, and I attend mass and pray almost every day in the church. I like the space there very much. It’s restrained, yet light and airy. I’m

glad that the church and its tower form the heart of the whole development. Josefina P. (92 years old, centre) Our home is centrally situated, and there are cafes, bars and lots of shops on the doorstep. You can jump on a bus and go to the city centre, although I never do. I prefer to stay here. I love this place. It’s full of life – bright, clear-cut, warm, peaceful. When I first came here, I was very sceptical. I’d lived for years in my own house and looked after things myself. But then my husband died, and I felt terribly alone. There’s nothing worse than loneliness when you’re old. So I decided to move here. I arrived with just one suitcase. The rest of my belongings I left behind. I don’t miss a thing, though. My room is bright. It has big windows and is nevertheless warm. I do a lot of things myself: I do my own washing, tidy up and clean my room, just as I used to do in my own house. It’s important to work and stay active.

Since early 2015, the international edition of DETAIL has been supplemented by two special issues of DETAIL inside. DETAIL inside presents contemporary interior design and construction in combination with professional information relevant to architects and interior designers. Particular attention is dedicated to the significance and characteristics of the materials used. Our aim is to provide readers with insight on trends as well as inspiration through the projects we present. The jewelery boutique in Beijing was first featured in the 02/2016 issue of DETAIL inside.

The exploding retail sector in China leads to a booming interest in a successful retail design. The most important retail marketplace of the future has come into being at lightning speed. In order to meet customers’ expectations, designers have to respect the local culture while presenting their own approach with confidence. European engagement in countries like China takes place in the tension areas between two major and significant cultural groups. A precondition for the encounter is a cosmopolitan attitude but also the willingness to try new things and discard old habits. After all, anyone who has been active abroad knows that copying Western processes and ways of thinking is not enough, and above all, it’s no guarantee of success. The global trend to emotionalise selling points in product presentation and embed them in a world of experience also, and especially, applies to China. Design no longer has just the task to inspire and increase value, but it rather needs to create adventures. After the fall of communism the retail sectors have been influenced not only by the upper classes but also by a huge middle class. A generational change among consumers has occurred. For the first generation it was predominantly about luxury and the display of wealth. The second generation, on the other hand, is familiar with the symbols of prosperity and has a more subtle approach to luxury. Young Chinese women in their 20s are affected by the country’s former one-child policy and seeking ways to relax and reward themselves for the private and professional pressures they must endure. Their parents have given up a great deal in order to give them a better future. However their lives usually take place in hectic, over-crowded and polluted metropolises and their workloads are enormous. The desire to treat themselves and give themselves rewards is growing. This observation was central to the work for jewellery brand Dada. The Western lifestyle opens up dream worlds to prospective customers that transform shopping into something unforgettable. The aim was to strengthen their awareness of their own

identity and what made them unique. The design specifically focused on the romantic ideals of young Chinese women. Whether it’s the iconographic image of the Eiffel Tower or French actress Sophie Marceau, both stand for Paris, the ultimate fashion emblem. In the case of both brands they played with elegance and fashion consciousness and created connotations of longing, sexiness and self-confidence – all attributes greatly in demand by modern, well-paid Chinese women. The atmosphere is emphasised by cool lighting that satisfies the Chinese beauty ideal of pale, delicate, even skin. The store was very well received and capture the Chinese zeitgeist. The design of the jewellery brand Dada transforms the “mix & match“ principle – by which elements of the collection can be combined as required – into a setting of highly adaptable types of furniture. As customers journey around the monochrome room they should feel as if they have entered an “enchanted forest“. Graphic facet patterns, backlit silhouettes and over-sized beauty posters serve as visual leitmotifs. The solid white lacquered furniture provides a formal bridge into the fairytale landscape and evokes associations to graceful mythical creatures. Despite a shared material palette and design language all the “family members“ have their own personality: the elongated counters rest on slender, conical legs; a dressing table, the so-called DIY table, gleams with a pivoting, backlit mirror attachment. Free-standing and enigmatic product display cases play with motifs that oscillate between exclusivity and desire; they show collective “places of longing“ in semi-open capsules, sculptures that bring to mind the complex mythology of Indian deities or allegedly unattainable displays in wide mesh cages. A back wall of mirrored glass amplifies the promise of happiness. Light displays mounted directly on the glass are combined with an irregular pattern of vertical decorative strips to create a shimmering background that visually dissolves all spatial boundaries.

Lights and Lighting

Contemporary fittings chosen to complement their historic surroundings Lighting by Catellani & Smith has been selected to play a significant role in the interior design of two business premises in France within recently renovated historic buildings, as well as a new restaurant set in panoramic surroundings in Italy. Above, the Fil de Fer, made of aluminium wire that is sculpted, intertwined by hand and lit by small LED light sources, has been developed as a full range of customisable lights available in several shapes and sizes for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Here it has been used to light the new headquarters of a security company in Marseilles located in a restored 19th century building. The interior is richly decorated with stucco and elegant details, complemented with stylish furnishings in neutral colours, which show the light fittings to advantage.

Aix en Provence that is home to the branch office of banking group BNP Paribas. The lights provide a colourful detail in the building, where white prevails. Macchina della Luce in gold finish, with Sorry Giotto copper suspensions hand-painted in blue-universe (just seen in the background) are harmoniously integrated into the rooms. The latter are additionally available as both floor and table lamps. The Macchina della Luce pendant is composed of diffuser discs lined with gold-coloured leaf with brass rods; it also comes in copper-coloured leaf with brass rods, or silver-coloured leaf with nickel rods, on a nickel base, which are all dimmable, or on a matt grey base (not dimmable). The light source is halogen or low-voltage LED.

The bespoke fittings appear to float like clouds in mid-air in the halls and along the main staircase. Standard sizes of these LED and halogen light sources are available as pendant, floor, wall and table lamps, most of them dimmable, and they can be anodised in gold colour on request.

Finally, the company’s lighting has been used to effect in the Michelin-starred chef Enrico Bartolini’s Casual Ristorante, in the Bergamo Alta area of Italy. Surrounded by 16th century fortifications, the building has wide windows along one wall offering a view of the funicular railway, which takes visitors to the highest part of the city.

Below, Catellani & Smith lighting makes its presence felt in the 18th century building in

The restaurant has two large rooms and a smaller room that offers more privacy, com-

plemented by a roof garden for use in good weather. The lighting design has been developed to create a balance between light and shadow, and this interplay between different visual elements serves to create a welcoming atmosphere that contributes to the overall ambience. Amongst the products chosen to illuminate the restaurant are the gold and white lamps from the Lederam collection shown below, right. Essentially the lamp consists of an LED module concealed by a shaped disc that embraces and reflects the light, and can be connected directly to the mains voltage without requiring a driver. Created for the company in 2014 by Enzo Catellani, Lederam has recently been enlarged with new models and offers a versatile product family. Other finishes available are silver, copper and neutral tones of white, black and chrome, and the collection comprises floor, table, wall and ceiling models. The lights are dimmable and eco-friendly, offering low consumption. ¥ Catellani & Smith srl Italy  +39 (0)35 656 088 www.catellanismith.com

Floral decoration

Thermoformed material gives flexibility in design

Linea Light Group says that its Moonflower design offers a new way of decorating with light, thanks to the modularity which offers the ideal solution for a variety of settings and room sizes. Each modular tile conceals a compact ‘heart’: an optical unit enclosing the RGB LEDs integrated into a circuit which gives up to 21 pre-set programmes providing both static and dynamic colour effects. The lighting can be customised through the DMX protocol on request.

Created to offer a warm and intimate atmosphere through gentle, indirect lighting, this tulip-shaped lamp, top, is by designer Pierre Cabrera. Searching for harmony between material and light, he found that Hi-Macs® from LG Hausys delivered the desired aesthetic appearance and offered a sensitive and soft diffusion of light. Once the original prototype had been completed to find the right balance of curves for the lamp, he then designed a special tool so that the ellipsoidal thermoformed ribbon could intertwine to produce smooth, flowing shapes.

The wall light is described as sturdy, practical and reliable, its self-supporting structure achieved by integrating the many modules that are connected to each other through side brackets. This means a large structure can be simply assembled using just a few screws. The product recently gained international recognition by winning the Codega prize in the LED solutions category, chosen for its ability to create fascinating colour effects in numerous combinations. The judges considered it to be ‘a very innovative solution with an appealing design, thanks to the use of RGB LEDs’. ¥ Linea Light srl Italy  +39 (0)423 78 68 www.linealight.com

These lamps come in different sizes for use in large spaces and also as wall lamps. The latest generation of Beneito & Faure LEDs are used with Tulip20, Tulip30 and Tulip40 models, whilst the larger Tulip50 and Tulip60 also feature a connected high-tech lighting system and a Bluetooth gesturecontrolled switch/dimmer, which can be operated by either a smartphone or a tablet to create mood lighting. The Filter collection of lamps by Sabine Marcelis came about through an invitation from Baars & Bloemhoff, distributor of HiMacs in the Netherlands, to six respected designers to create products using various sheet materials from its library. Marcelis

works with a strong focus on materials in the field of product design, installations and spatial design, and chose Hi-Macs for her project: “This natural acrylic stone comprises a huge diversity of decors and colour collections that vary in visual density, composition and layering. In my work I often experiment with the manipulation of a light source, and I continued this key theme for Filter. I started by playing with the material, varying it in thickness and texture, for instance, and then illuminating it.” Colours used are Star Queen, Opal, Gemini and Arctic Granite, and she combined these with moulded resin in various colours. Unseen when the light source is off, the colours and patterns come alive when the light is switched on, as seen above, right. Below is a rather bigger lighting project featuring the material, at Osram’s headquarters in Munich, Germany. Translucent Opal was used for the reception counter, which is 11 m long and has the lighting manufacturer’s LED lamps built into it. ¥ LG Hausys United Kingdom  +44 (0)1892 704074 www.himacs.eu

Energy-saving lights with Tunable White options

Travelling light

Launched this year by Aura Light, the OptiT8 energy-efficient, easy-to-install LED light source (top), is designed to replace traditional fluorescent tubes. With a high output of 4,000 lumens and an efficacy of up to 160 lm/W, it provides a high quality of light within the room and can safely upgrade an existing scheme to reduce running costs. A versatile option, it can be used for offices, supermarkets, retail, signs and cold refrigerated areas, or anywhere where fluorescent lighting is currently being used.

Researching a medium through which light travels was the process that inspired the Stefan Diez Office to create the Guise collection of luminaires for Vibia, described as an assemblage of beautiful objects combining warm, atmospheric lighting with the transparency and richness of glass. Exploiting the phenomenon that light conducted through glass is invisible until it meets the edge or is refracted by surface striations, Diez presents a new way of using LED technology with this collection of lamps.

OptiT8 tubes are available in 1,200 and 1,500 mm lengths and a range of colour temperatures, including 3000 K, 4100 K and 5000 K with a CRI of more than 80. This allows them to be matched to the desired appearance, as well as to that of the previous fluorescent tubes, whilst generating significant energy savings. They are equipped with 90 ° rotatable end caps to fine-tune the direction of light once installed. The company has also recently introduced the Lezzon LED luminaire, designed to offer a stylish twist to the classic favourite linear luminaire. It joins Aura’s architectural range of luminaires, which offer a modern lighting solution for offices, schools, universities and other public spaces. Boasting a more stylish

and unusual outline, the fitting is wire suspended for a contemporary addition to a room. It also incorporates Tunable White technology so colour temperatures can be adjusted to promote natural light levels, known to improve productivity and concentration and providing a particular benefit to working and educational environments, comments the company. Lezzon by designer Joachim Engstrand is based on the advanced Z-core light engine platform used in a number of Aura’s latest luminaires, and designed to offer high efficiency rates due to the ‘exceptional’ thermal management properties. Said to be particularly good for areas where reliable, affordable lighting is required over long periods of time, it can be dimmed for additional energy savings, and comes in 36, 41, 53 and 65 W as a low-energy replacement for fluorescent tubes, producing up to 115 lm/W. Colour temperatures of 3000 K and 4000 K are standard; the Tunable White option, which is available in 41 W only, is adjustable from 2700 K to 6000 K. ¥ Aura Light UK United Kingdom  +44 (0)1952 250800 www.aura-light.co.uk

The wall light features a disc with a recessed row of LEDs that glows at the edges of the lamp and reflects on to the adjacent walls, whilst the floor and pendant versions include etched glass volumes that express the light through their cut-glass patterns, keeping the illumination source hidden. The design-oriented, Barcelona-based lighting manufacturer Vibia operates throughout the world, with a subsidiary in the United States, and offers a range of lighting solutions aimed at both architects and interior and lighting design professionals. ¥ Vibia Lighting Spain  +34 (0)934 796 971 www.vibia.com

Building with light More than any other material used, daylight determines spatial effects, generates moods and sets the stage for architecture. Well-lit rooms make us feel good and are conducive to productive work. Light also promotes good health. Moreover, the meaningful planning of daylight and coordinated artificial lighting, even in office buildings, also contributes to energy saving.

Practical porcelain

Appealing and accessible styling for all users

CRL Stone’s Ceralsio porcelain surfaces are available in a comprehensive range of colours and a choice of natural, polished or textured finish. They are designed as an attractive and practical choice suitable for vanity tops, wall cladding and flooring for both the bathroom and kitchen. Seen here is the light grey natural finish.

The ensuite bathroom, top, in a 1930s London home was fitted out by Devon&Devon in wetroom-style for ease of use. As well as the large, wall-mounted shower rose it has a handset positioned at low level to cater to the needs of all users. There is room for seating, whilst recessed shelves give plenty of storage without encroaching on the showering area. Lambris ceramic wall panels in white clay allow for easy cleaning.

The company says that, responding to current trends in work surfaces, and with thinner profiles also evident in interior design, Ceralsio taps into the huge move towards ceramic surfaces coming out of Europe. At 12 mm thick and in an extra-large 1,500 ≈ 3,200 mm slab format, they can be used to create surfaces largely without joints for continuity and visual appeal. Also available in 6 and 10 mm thicknesses in a range of sizes and colours, the surfaces can be used for splashbacks, floors and indoor and outdoor wall cladding, being stainand scratch-resistant, thermally stable and shock-resistant. Also, as it is UV stable the colour won’t fade over time. ¥ CRL Stone United Kingdom  +44 (0)1706 863600 www.ceralsio.co.uk

The Wide Blues Console (just seen), a twinbasin version of the original Blues console, is designed to complement classic, retro or contemporary interiors. The polished nickel structure, also in chrome or light gold, has ample space underneath the basin area for a chair or wheelchair, at 124.5 cm wide ≈ 86.5 cm high. The Deco-style room is completed with an Elite mosaic floor of black Marquinha and Crema Marfil marble. Also from Devon&Devon, the Bentley vanity unit echoes the elegant lines of a classic desk and it comes with a central basin and a drawer on either side at 144 cm wide, or as a right-hand/left-hand unit with one drawer, at 121 cm wide. It is seen top, right with a black Marquinha marble top, splashback and apron on a mahogany-colour Canaletto walnut structure with truncated cone

legs and chrome end sections. Various other combinations of wood, marble and ceramics are available. Smaller bathrooms do not have to compromise on sophistication, as illustrated by this compact but stylish shower room, below, in a luxury Grade II listed development. The Serenade console offers a generous surface without crowding the limited space. Its large fireclay ceramic top measures 110 cm wide ≈ 99 cm high and rests on two curvaceous legs, which can be white or black ceramic or cast aluminium with antique nickel finish. The Fairy mirror visually extends the space, and the Armonia 3 radiator serves as a stylish and practical towel warmer. The Regina free-standing tub in cast iron with an enamelled interior is just 58 cm tall at the lower end for ease of entry and 81 cm at the raised end for a comfortable backrest. The exterior can be customised in any of 213 choices from the company’s Colours Collection.

A handbook for universal design and planning, inside and out “Building for all” best defines what lies behind the unwieldy term “barrier-free design” – the integrative use of buildings for people with disabilities. The integration of all members of society, including those with disabilities, can only be achieved if the environment is made fully accessible to everyone. Demographic changes also mean that occupants are demanding new qualities of buildings. The DETAIL Practice book “Barrier-Free Design” provides all specialist planners, architects, but also interested owners and builders with practical basic information and implemen-

tation options open to planners around the topic of barrier-free design. It shows how such demands can be accommodated in aesthetically sophisticated architecture and that taking barrier-free aspects into account in the early stages of planning does not necessarily result in extra costs as compared with “classic” construction. As well as an overview of the basics of planning, this book depicts the relevant rules and regulations and presents examples of these and of prospective developments in an European context.

Building for people whose abil ties to per ceive their environment are limited can certainly be counted among the most demanding tasks of planning The learning abilities and powers of remembrance of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia decrease constantly and hence their orientation capabil ties, too Our current state of scientific knowledge does not permit a cure, only a slowing of the process The spatial environment for these people reliant on the help of others is important because the loss of orientation capabi ities and power of remembering inevitably lead to uncertainty and anxiety The design and construction of an appro priate nursing home therefore forced an in depth examination of clearly structured, comprehensible organisational principles and opportun ties to encourage group dynamic processes on the one hand, the formation of areas for individual retreat on the other After seven years of intensive design and construction work, Atelier Bonnet managed to solve this task in a completely natural way in the shape of the “Résidence de la Rive” nursing home near Geneva Four residential units are grouped around a north south circulation zone, which resulted in four intimate, enclosed court yards framed by the ground floor reception area The ground floor is simultaneously circulation zone and common area, w th the café as the focal point A fifth unit on the upper floor above the offices provides options for caring for patients temporarily when their relatives need to be re ieved Despite the great clarity of the internal layout, it was still possible to create areas for w thdrawal and retreat This zoning plan enables users to participate intensively in group life or merely observe it Stairs and l fts provide access to the individual rooms on the first floor Distr buting such an establishment over two floors is a non standard concept 98

Location p an Scale 1 2000

Gardens Both the access to the courtyards and even the pa hs through the gardens are very help ul when it comes to sat sfying the urge for movement that can affect many patients The planting which ref ec s he changing of the seasons and s imulates several senses s robust enough to withs and touching and p cking by the residents possibly even carrying out some of he gardening work under supervision which supports their therapy

The reason for this approach is to be found in the limited size of the plot on the one hand, the organizational principle of the nursing concept on the other, which leads from public to semi public to private rooms However, this fac lity does demand more intensive supervision and care services from the personnel than would be the case in groups organised on one floor only In the form realised here, the link with the semi public gar dens via large opening lights demon strates both courage and at the same time great sensitivity towards and respect for the needs of the users Covered terraces connect the she tered exterior with the interior; they allow each group to use its own enclosed courtyard It is said that many Alzheimer’s patients have a desire for exercise An internal layout and routing that essentially permits this in a safe form therefore contributes to their well being Plants can also be used to advantage: their changing appearances and fragrances over the course of a year, the possibility of touching them and even becoming involved in gardening work are all factors that support current therapies Autonomous use of their surroundings, finding their way by themselves, represents a challenge for dementia patients The choice of materials and colours for their built environment therefore takes on a special meaning And the interior design of this nursing home shows just how subtly and nevertheless clearly light/dark contrasts can alternate and hence ease orientation in three dimensional space

Seamless solution offers luxury with clean lines

Design meets function

For a bathroom in a new-build project using energy-efficient insulated concrete, and a client with a distaste for grout lines and exposed joints, designer Kerr Drummond chose DuPont™ Corian® to achieve this light-filled scheme. Its subtle lines disguise the plumbing which could not be chased into the concrete.

The Geberit brand is known for its AquaClean shower toilets, including the Mera Comfort, above. Features include a proximity sensor that automatically raises the WC lid and starts warming the seat on the user’s approach. The patented WhirlSpray technology provides gentle cleaning with bodytemperature water and there is a warm-air dryer and built-in odour extraction.

The brief for the 5 ≈ 5 m bathroom in the contemporary, luxury home was for something unique, bespoke and distinctive. To achieve this, the plywood stud walls and all other surfaces are entirely clad in Corian, including the shower’s curved wall, floor, ceiling and canopy. It has also been used to produce the two-person bathtub with a seamless bath surround and a joint-free double basin area. The Ice White colour gives a fresh, clean appearance, and some of the 6 mm translu-

cent panelling has been back-lit, which adds further ambience without making too bold a statement. To avoid a clinical feel to the space the radiator, shower hose and controls, as well as the door and window frame, are all in black. Strong, non-porous and with anti-bacterial, stain- and slip-resistant properties, the solidsurface material can be shaped to create all kinds of practical designs, including basins, vanity units and cladding as well as floor surfaces. It comes in a vast range of colours, is durable and easy to maintain and carries a 10-year warranty. A collection of ‘off the shelf’ shower trays has been introduced to facilitate bathroom design and allow for all the benefits of the material to be optimised in an easy-to-specify way. The Casual tray shown left comes in a 30-mm thickness in eight models (two depths, with four lengths for each depth) in white only. The larger Smart shower tray is available in 12 models, and there are also three models of Delight bathtubs. All are suitable for both residential and commercial environments. Combined with the cladding, wet walls and surfaces, these products enable interior designers and specifiers to create bathroom solutions that meet a wide variety of demands in terms of style and functionality. Another benefit is that Corian can easily be retro-adjusted to seamlessly add handles, seats and other features. The bespoke shelving also seen left is clad in the Clam Shell colourway, whilst the back wall of the shower is in Lava Rock; these colours are from the Earth Heritage collection with a veined mineral aesthetic. ¥ DuPont Corian United Kingdom  +44 (0)800 962116 www.corian.co.uk

The company has now launched a complete bathroom collection of standard and shortprojection basins and toilets, bidets, furniture and cabinets. Design meets function is the ethos behind the five-series collection for residential and commercial uses, with glass, metal, painted and wood finishes. ¥ Geberit United Kingdom  +44 (0)1926 516800 www.geberit.co.uk

Living, through all of life’s phases Collective living, multi-generational living, family living, barrier-free living, living and working, living and leisure – a broad range of diversity is determining future concepts of living that should be able to live up to the demands and needs of an ever more eclectic society. The spectrum of examples in this addition to the DETAIL series is therefore just as diverse. The assortment of projects extends from residential complexes for prams and wheelchairs to elderly-friendly developments to

the modernisation or conversion of existing buildings offering an extensive overview of what is on offer. Individual points of focus are structured according to subject in “Housing for People of All Ages” for example typology, sense and perception, barrier-free construction and upgrading of kitchen and bathroom. Articles by the experts as well as realised projects including large-scale construction drawings present these. The volume also provides addresses of information centres and organisations and further expert knowledge.

City House in Munich Architects: Fink + Jocher Munich

Ground plan zoning – optimum spatial distribution for all phases of life Barrier-free city house with retail units Two wheelchair-friendly apartments Maisonettes with roof terraces Sound insulation against traffic noise

addition to which two apartments are designed to be wheel chair friendly while the large entry areas provide sufficient internal parking space

Barrier-free apartments – planning and construction clearly explained in large-scale details

Energy and ventilation concept The Westend is an upwardly mobile inner city suburb of Munich This new city house replaces five older constructions which were no longer economically viable As a residential and retail address this new bu lding contributes greatly to the enhancement of the area by providing spaces commen surate with modern standards of living and working in a city

Mixed uses This building accommodates seven shops diverse commu nally used spaces and 23 residences of various sizes: 17 single storey apartments with private loggias and six maison ette apartments with double storey voids and roof terraces The load bearing concept of the building has been pared down to the external walls and the stairwells By restricting the internal structure to a lightweight system it remains possi ble to alter plans to meet long term demands of individual users and adapt to future changes in the real estate market Communal spaces for all residents have been provided in the forms of generous entry areas adjacent to the stairwells an internal courtyard with playground and a community room complete with kitchen and direct access to the courtyard

Accessibility All routes within the building are threshold free and each apartment is access ble from a ift A l dwellings are obstacle free with the exception of the six maisonette apartments In

The rooms are heated by an under floor heating system with a reduced flow temperature and by a controlled ventilation system Air supply is acquired via the roof due to the close proximity of a heavily used arterial road Loss of heat is mini mised by the app ication of a heat exchanger In association with the highly insulated external construction elements these measures have enabled the architects to surpass the requirements of low energy housing standards

Sound insulation The adjacent street is used by 32 000 vehicles and two tram lines daily leading to sound emissions of up to 75 dB Noise pollution of this magnitude is not uncommon in inner city locations In contrast to the popular planning strategy of facing secondary rooms with sma l opening onto the street frontage this scheme employs the application of highly insu lated specially constructed windows The windows are con structed of double glazing on the inside with an additional single glazing layer applied externally and noise absorbing elements located within the cavity spaces Thus the apart ments remain unrestricted in their layout and can take full advantage of orientation and sunlight irrelevant of traffic flow and the related noise pollution The streetscape becomes a pub ic and social yet controllable aspect of the urban location

Well-being – Villeroy & Boch's hotel expertise In an age of 24-hour digital communication, time-out is becoming a luxury item, and the desire to slow down is growing. This is a challenge, especially for hotels, where the desire for reachability and recreation, and for on- and off times is equally pronounced. Well-being is a keyword in the hotel industry. Guests should feel both at home and impressed, and architecture and design both contribute decisively to this.

Integrated technology, enabling, for example, room fixtures and fittings to be operated using a smartphone, enhance comfort. For this reason, Villeroy & Boch offers the innovative ViSound sound-system with its Quaryl® and acrylic bathtubs. It comprises four powerful structure-borne sound transducers that use the tub, whether empty or full, as a resonance chamber. In addition, there is a receiver that plays back multimedia files from

Advertorial

Bluetooth-enabled devices. The result is an exceptional sound experience that is not only heard but also felt in the water. http://pro.villeroy-boch.com/projects The Memento premium collection is characterized by consistent linearity and a minimalist design. A timeless style and luxurious finishes with refined patterns lend each bathroom its own distinct charm.

Since many hotels are increasingly opting for a compact design, flexible bathroom solutions are in demand. Villeroy & Boch guarantees country-specific requirements – from a compact model to a comfortable XL version in the Architectura and Subway 2.0 collections. But beautiful and functional bathroom products alone are not enough; they must also be comfortable and intelligent.

Villeroy & Boch

In hotel bathrooms, the trend is even stronger towards small wellness temples with entertainment value. Villeroy & Boch offers a large variety of design colours and shapes, as well as customizable products. Collections such as Artis, Aveo New Generation, Loop&Friends, My Nature and Squaro Edge 12 provide architects and hotel planners with wide design scope thanks to innovative materials such as Quaryl® and TitanCeram as well as room-specific colours and decors.

Lightweight and strong

Flexible installation for external tiled floors

Sen-su Lounge is part of the Sen-su and Sen-to contemporary chair and armchair collection by Bartoli Design for Italian manufacturer Daa. “The system was developed in a continuous exchange between design and engineering by several prototypes to translate the lightness of the sensu traditional Japanese fan with the rules dictated by the steel-wire manufacturing technology,” explained Bartoli.

OUT2.0 from Ceramiche Refin are 20 mmthick porcelain stoneware tiles suitable for external floors using traditional or raised installation methods. The thicker tiles are designed to guarantee a high resistance to loads and stresses and are suitable for both residential and commercial outdoor flooring, being frost- and fire-resistant, as well as resistant to the attack of chemicals and adverse weather conditions.

“The result is a chair whose technical and aesthetic focus is the ‘spine’ where several V rods alternate and are reflected, creating a distinguishing pattern, extremely light yet sturdy.” The seats are available with a textured or satin lacquer in various colours.

The tiles can be dry-installed directly on to the footing, gravel or grass or can be laid as a raised floor by means of polypropylene supports of variable heights. Fixed supports represent the quickest, most economical solution and allow for a raise of 15 mm, whereas the self-levelling supports can be adjusted in height from 50 to 75 mm; these are equipped with a self-levelling head that reduces uneven surfaces and means the system can compensate for an incline of up

to 5 %. Quick and easy to install, the floor can be walked on straight away. As the dry-installation method does not require the use of adhesives and grouts, the porcelain stoneware slabs can be easily removed and reused if desired. As well as helping to reduce unevenness of the surface, the raised flooring system is said to increase thermal insulation, whilst the gap created between the floor and the substrate allows for the housing of cabling and pipes and ease of inspection. OUT2.0 tiles are available in a selection of finishes including Artwork (above, left), Bluetech (top and below, left) and Wood2 (bottom), as well as Graniti, Pangea and Pietre di Borgogna. ¥ Ceramiche Refin Italy  +39 (0)522 990499 www.refin.it

Aluminium ranges add variety with colours and fabrics

Plain and patterned

Play rectangular and square outdoor tables by Ethimo are described as having a contemporary character and harmonious geometries. The basic structure is aluminium with legs in cast metal to give a solid base as well as height and lightness to the design. It comes in a range of sizes, and the table top can be aluminium, natural or pickled teak or a stone-effect ceramic.

Tile of Spain is the voice of the Spanish tile industry, representing more than 100 manufacturers and these Spanish porcelain tiles are widely available in the UK. Above, from Apavisa, the Nanoconcept 7.0 series tile on the facade in Anthracite with a rigato finish is shown with a Materia series floor tile in White with a flame finish. Both are 45 ≈ 90 cm with other colours, finishes and special sizes available.

In the all-aluminium versions, the top is the same colour as the legs, entirely in Warmwhite or Warmgrey; additionally, these legs can be combined with the teak top. The stone-effect top, new to the company, is claimed to be highly resistant to scratch marks and heat, and is available in Ice White and Slate Black. Esedra, designed by Luca Nichetto, is one of Ethimo’s leading collections for 2017. It teams woven fibre, in a tight or wide weave,

with aluminium legs and fabric cushions to give a complete range of furniture with a contemporary outdoor look. Sofas and armchairs, including the high-back option seen above, are complemented by round, rectangular and square dining and coffee tables in a variety of finishes. The aluminium Nicolette armchair, below, left is by Patrick Norguet. Frame colours are Warmwhite, Olive Green, Coffee Brown, Warmgrey, Sepia Black and Warmred. The back comes in a microperforated pattern, with a backrest in natural teak, and can be dressed in a water-repellent, pleated fabric and accessorised with seat cushions in three colour choices for a variety of looks. ¥ Ethimo Italy  +39 (0)761 300 444 www.ethimo.com

Architecturally designed landscapes Industrialisation, mechanisation and expansion have wrought profound changes on European cities and the surrounding landscapes in the last century. As regards the positive social and healthy development of inhabitants, landscape planning has become an integral part of all urban planning.

High-performance surface aids safety underfoot

Suitable for wall-mounting, ceiling or freestanding application, Tansun’s infrared heating systems can be installed in a wide variety of settings, particularly benefiting bars and restaurants wishing to increase revenue from alfresco dining, says the company. With a UK manufacturing base, it specialises in providing heating solutions for buildings which are recognised as difficult to heat, such as factories, warehouses, gymnasiums and aircraft hangars.

Bituchem’s Natratex hard-landscaping materials are used in school and park projects around the country. The flagship product is specified for its modern aesthetics and safety benefits, says the company, and can be used for new construction as well as regeneration and overlay projects. Fossebrook Primary School, top, was developed by Leicestershire County Council to provide an additional school for early-years students in the area. It was designed by Kast Architects and MeiLoci landscape architects, which specified the Cotswold and grey colours to create an informal demarcated area in the playground.

The Rio IP, below, is described as a weatherproof, lightweight infrared heater with a superior parabolic reflector. The high-quality aluminium body is available in standard colours of white, black and silver and, as with most of the heating systems, it can also be powder-coated in a range of RAL colours as a bespoke service to align with corporate branding, or to match awning or parasol profiles or venue colour schemes. The streamlined design is compatible with the company’s energy-saving controllers to suit varying situations. Heat coverage distribution area is around 10.5 sq.m. ¥ Tansun United Kingdom  +44 (0)121 580 6200 www.tansun.com

Natratex is manufactured to offer a seamless, high-performing solution, using naturally occurring aggregates. The clear resin binder used to create the smooth surface reduces the likelihood of the material deteriorating and causing potholes or other breakages in the surface, so eliminating trip hazards and helping to make it safer for young children. A second new-build school, Pimperne Primary School (below, right) is situated near a rural Dorset village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), where new developments are required to respect and en-

hance the natural beauty of its setting. The project was managed by Dorset County Council’s Dorset Property, which specified the Cotswold colour to provide a smooth, durable surface for both pedestrians and vehicles. The versatile material can be used for a wide range of applications, with a variety of colours available to suit all specifications. These aggregates are said to offer an aesthetically pleasing alternative to a traditional tarmac finish whilst providing the same durable and long-lasting qualities as asphalt technology. Another recent project was the refurbishment of Coleshill Memorial Park in North Warwickshire, now transformed with new equipment and facilities for all ages to encourage its use by local people. Architects Moore Environment chose Cotswold for the adventure playground and the pedestrian paths. A spokesperson for Coleshill Town Council said it was delighted with the scheme, adding, “We are particularly happy with the golden colour of the pathways. It really lifts the park on dull and dark days.” ¥ Bituchem United Kingdom  +44 (0)1594 826768 www.bituchem.com

Traditional construction material for the architecture of the future With its positive qualities and wide range of applications, wood excels in several areas: It meets the holistic evaluation criteria of sustainable construction and is perfect for outdoor use in sophisticated designs and facades, as well as for use in interiors. It enables short construction times, is relatively inexpensive and both builders and architects alike appreciate its sensuous charm and familiarity. Even today’s high standards for acoustic insulation and fire safety in multi-storey buildings can be met by wood. These outstanding qualities are increasingly turning this traditional construc-

The green Danube

Low-maintenance grass and paving products

Cruise company Crystal opted for a bespoke green roof terrace incorporating alpine plants for the newest addition to its river fleet, to reflect the journey taken along the Danube. ANS Global worked with AD Associates and Crystal on the design, using the modular lightweight Grufekit system of multiple individual modules, each containing everything needed – from a water reservoir and drainage layer to the soil and vegetation. The rest of the landscaping was then completed. The Mozart travels from Austria through Switzerland and Germany, and passengers will be able to walk about the terrace identifying the species and learning about their environment.

Launched this year by Natural Paving Products is Luxigraze, a range of artificial grass and supporting installation, care and maintenance products offering a complete lowmaintenance landscaping option. Currently available in Premium 20 and 30 mm, Luxury 32 and Super Luxury 27 mm pile heights and types, it features a multi-tone green pile with tan thatch for a natural finish. The product comes with a 10-year UV guarantee. The launch of the commercial Prograze range is set to follow.

Below is a recent photograph of an earlier project by ANS, a living wall at the Côte Brasserie in Birmingham’s city centre planted more than six years ago, and the company says it is looking as healthy as when it was first installed. The 60 m2 wall on the outdoor terrace is made up of multiple plant species such as vinca minor, heuchera palace purple and hosta variegata.

Quality sandstone from the Natural Paving Products range was supplied to the Centre For Digital Innovation (C4DI) in Hull, set up as a pioneering specialist business space to further build and connect Hull’s technology talent. The £4 million centre is home to a collective of digital companies and individuals. Diamond Sawn York Mix sandstone has been used for paving, steps, seating units and copings. With a warm multicolour palette, the flagstone is said to create a dynamic aesthetic in perfect harmony with the centre and surrounding area.

¥ ANS Global United Kingdom  +44 (0)1243 545818 www.ansgroupglobal.com

The C4DI centre needed a long-term solution that would require little maintenance whilst providing functionality of steps and seating in the same material. The first phase

of activity consisted of over 1,000 sq.m of the 50-mm-thick paving, as well as 80 linear metres of seating units, 190 linear metres of steps with granite inlays to assist the partially sighted and over 40 linear metres of wall copings. During phase two an additional 450 sq.m of paving was installed, as well as 30 linear metres of coping stones. The company’s Rydal Premiastone sandstone paving has been used for a luxury residential development in Halifax, West Yorkshire (below) to create an attractive additional selling point, with its smooth, honed surface and mix of calm tones. Almost 1,000 sq.m of paving has been laid across the six detached Yorkshire stone properties. Indoor living space includes a gym, cinema room and orangery, and each garden features a wrap-around patio and summerhouse. The paving has a flexural strength rating of 20 – 30 MPa and a high frost resistance, with a water absorbency of less than 2 %, making it less susceptible to moss, mould, pesticides or salt. ¥ Natural Paving Products United Kingdom  +44 (0)330 333 8030 www.naturalpaving.co.uk

Edition

Perfect Scale Ansgar and Benedikt Schulz. 144 pages. 2nd Edition 2016. Bilingual: English/German. Format 24,5 × 33 cm. ISBN 978-3-95553-307-6 Hardcover: € 39.90 / £ 32.– / US$ 56.– + postage/packing + VAT, if applicable

Perfect scales for architectural design and construction Thinking and working in a variety of scales lies at the heart of architecture. What scale should be selected for which design decision? At what point is it sensible to change the scale? What can and ought to be depicted in a true-to-scale architectural drawing? And how can such a drawing remain clear and thus appealing? An architectural drawing is not least a means of communication. It contains pieces of information which are relevant for various recipients. The choice of the appropriate scale

determines whether the client or the construction worker understand what is being conveyed. In view of the countless possibilities offered by CAD, the objective of clearly and unambiguously conveying one’s own ideas is occasionally lost sight of. The authors, Ansgar Schulz and Benedikt Schulz, provide orientation with their book, exemplarily guiding the architectural drawing back to its original purpose: the creation of exceptional structures.

Modular felt ceiling makes an impact in new HQ

Reclaimed technique

A £15 million headquarters in Wrexham, North Wales for an outsourced switchboard and telephone answering service company features a modular felt ceiling system said to be the first of its kind in Europe. Developed and manufactured by Hunter Douglas, HeartFelt is described as budget-friendly and is made from 100 % recyclable material, including the carrier system.

Expanding its London showroom presence, Havwoods has opened a branch in Chelsea’s King’s Road. The company has also added a comprehensive range of interior wood cladding to its flooring offering. Products can be viewed on a drop-in basis by specifiers and designers. The Shou Sugi Ban wall cladding collection is based on the Japanese process of the same name, and the company has translated this ancient technique of burning and charring wood into innovative cladding designed to make an impact in a variety of settings.

When AEW Architects was commissioned to design Moneypenny’s new office building, the brief was to create an inspiring working environment. The building includes a pub and nature trails, and one of the main features of the three-storey building is a 17-m high central atrium, which houses a treehouse meeting room, stadium seating and an indoor terrace. A ceiling was required for a canopy within this space and the felt system was chosen both for its acoustic control and to add further ambience to what was already an unusual interior scheme. Said architect David George, “The brief from Moneypenny was all about challenging the ‘norm’ and we really wanted a high-impact, visually stunning ceiling for the entrance area and the adjacent boardroom above, as

both these ceiling areas are highly visible on approaching the main entrance. The soft materiality of the product was perfect for this application and enhanced the warm welcome the client was keen for us to provide at the entrance.” The panels are available in five colours from off-white to anthracite, so making them suitable for a wide variety of applications. Here they were used in three tones to give both depth and warmth. HeartFelt complies with regulations for use in non-polluting buildings, is resistant to dirt and dust and meets the indoor European standard EN 15251 and EN 13501 Class B, S1, d0 fire certification. The panels are manufactured using thermoformed polyester fibres which are completely recyclable – earning the system a C2C Bronze certificate from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. Available in up to 6 m lengths, the panels are fixed via a special carrier system, which comes in six standard modular sizes from 50 to 100 mm.

Traditionally used as an external cladding material, it is now gaining new life as an unusual, contemporary-style wood finish. The burning process is typically adopted as a weathering technique, to create a more durable and hardy surface, but this also works to emphasise the knots and grains present in the natural wood. The reclaimed pine cladding is 20 mm thick and 130 mm wide with a sealed finish available in seven wood tones, which include Hertford, shown top, and Nixon, below.

Cool colour schemes

New standard layouts aid ceiling specification

Grey tones show no sign of losing their popularity and these tiles from Spanish manufacturer Cas Ceramica add pattern and texture for creating individual schemes. Concept, above, was developed using the latest sophisticated techniques, and the satin-finish tile collection allows a wide range of combinations thanks to the geometric lines, colours and textures that characterise it.

Armstrong Ceilings has further simplified its TechZone™ easy-to-specify-and-install ceiling solution with integrated technical services. This is now available as four standard layouts which organise lighting, air diffusers and returns into 100 and 150-mm-wide technical zones. A range of compatible fixtures from its partner companies for the building services elements (Trox for air diffusers and XAL and Zumtobel for lighting) has also been prequalified for fit-and-finish to give a clean, monolithic look using standard ceiling panels and suspension systems.

Decor Antracita is teamed with Gris on the wall above it and Antracita on the floor. The plain colour tile comes in 10 colourways including the two shown here, whilst there are five designs of decor tile. All these tiles are size 20 x 20 cm and 9 mm thick and are suitable for walls and floors. The matt-finish Factory tile below offers three shades to choose from, providing a clean, simple atmosphere. The space is enhanced with the use of subtle decorative tiles, adding personality to the minimalist effect. The far wall is Gris, with Grafito on the near wall teamed with Kaleido Decor Grafito from a selection of seven decor tiles. ¥ Cas Ceramica Spain  +34 (0)964 601 114 www.casceramica.com

Specifiers working from their own design layout or one from Armstrong’s CAD/Revit library then choose the field panels, technical panels, suspension systems and perimeter treatments. Field panels are Ultima+ and Ultima+ OP, Perla and Perla OP 0.95 and Optima mineral tiles and planks with Microlook 90 or SL2 edge profiles. Described as the ultimate green ceiling system, the improved TechZone system meets the growing trend for linear lighting. At the same time the company has teamed up with XAL Lighting to launch the On Centre linear lighting solution said to make it easier to create inspiring ceiling designs with higher ceiling heights, zero plenum in-

91

terference and on-centre continuous or noncontinuous layouts. Designed to be installed as a full new system, it can be retrofitted to existing 600 ≈ 600 mm ceiling modules to open- and closed-plan spaces in buildings such as offices, schools and hospitals. The integrated system allows the high-performance XAL Leno Grid LED luminaire to be installed from below to eliminate the requirement for ceiling re-work when specified with factory-finished Ultima+, Ultima+ OP and Perla OP 0.95 ceiling panels and the Prelude 15 XL2 suspension system. Armstrong showcases European projects in its publication A Book for 2017. Dozens of designs feature new-build and refurb projects from the retail and leisure, education, office, healthcare and transport sectors throughout Europe. Its own office in Prague is shown in the 82-page book, depicting the complete portfolio. Downloadable from the company’s website, it also features on the Armstrong Ceiling Systems app from the Apple store and the Google Play store. ¥ Armstrong World Industries Ltd United Kingdom  +44 (0)1895 251122 www.armstrongceilings.co.uk

Digital inspiration

Space flexibility with high acoustic values

Designer Ella Doran creates photographybased images and patterns, and pioneered their application on functional, everyday products when digital printing technologies were first developed. The Camouflage wallpaper above was inspired by the plane trees in Ella’s local park, and she has used a soft-focus effect and enlarged the scale of the bark to allow the design to be integrated into a variety of interior settings. Succulent plants in a palette of greens populate a rich, dark canvas on Surreal Succulents, below. The soft pink and white accents of some of the leaves add contrast and balance to the overall design. Digitally printed in the UK on high-grade FSC paper, the wallpapers come in 5 m double-width (110 cm) rolls.

Specialising in qualified adult and apprentice education, the new Henry Ford Academy in Daventry, Northamptonshire required a partitioning solution to create maximum flexibility of space in this high-specification warehouse conversion. Style recommended Dorma Moveo fully automatic moveable walls for the main auditorium, meeting rooms and teaching areas. Its ComfortDrive system is designed to provide high acoustic performance and ease of operation.

¥ Ella Doran United Kingdom  +44 (0)20 7254 4744 www.elladoran.co.uk

At one end of the stage area, a Moveo wall has been installed that consists of three panels, one of which incorporates a pass door. The same is repeated at the other end but in a configuration occupying the corner. This enables vehicles to be easily manoeuvred into and out of the auditorium, for presentation and teaching purposes. A flexible arrangement for the larger meeting and training rooms involved the use of Dorma

Variflex partitioning walls with interchangeable panels and 60 dB Rw acoustics. Where the structure wasn’t suitable for supporting top-hung systems, floor-supported SWG folding walls were installed. What is said to be London’s first stepped dividing wall system was installed using the Skyfold automatic moveable partition wall to divide the 450-seat auditorium at the Francis Crick Institute, below. Installed within a cavity in the ceiling, the wall descends smoothly at the press of a button. The bottom edge is customised to form a firm seal with the staircase, and the wall delivers a 49 dB acoustic performance, comfortably allowing two events to take place simultaneously. ¥ Style United Kingdom  +44 (0)1202 874044 www.style-partitions.co.uk

Contemporary collection comes to London

Ancient and modern

Lorfords Antiques has opened a London showroom in Chelsea. With a contemporary upholstered furniture collection, styled roomsets and a whole floor of fabrics and papers from a number of independent artisan designers, each with their own collections, Lorfords London will offer a complete design source over its three floors.

Walling and flooring from Welsh Slate feature on a new restaurant in the grounds of Cardigan Castle, in Ceredigion, Wales, which has undergone a £12.5 million redevelopment to save it for the nation. Home to the first recorded Eisteddfod in 1176, the castle was partly dismantled by Cromwell’s forces and by the end of the last century the site was derelict and ruinous.

Rapture & Wright employs hand-printing methods to create its collections and for 2017 took the Silk Road trade route as its theme. Sakori, top, is inspired by an 18th century Japanese textile, whilst Tamerlane (below, right), is based on the wild mallow flower from central Asia. Both are available as wallpaper and fabric in bespoke colours as well as the five standard colourways that co-ordinate with the rest of this collection. Above, right, Nile & York has launched its Small Prints and Small Linen Prints fabric collections of delicate, small-scale patterns

as a range of wallpapers. Designs include geometrics, fine stripes, paisley, sprigs and dots, each on the same scale as it appears on the fabric. The collection comprises 14 designs across a spectrum of colours. The Gem design wallpaper in Nettle colourway is seen with fabrics from the collection. Agave Americana from the Manzanita collection in colourway Big Leaf is a Belgian linen fabric shown bottom, left used as a wallcovering. Designer Lake August says the Los Angeles landscape is as much a melting pot as is its culture, where native and adopted plants share space and become familiar combinations, like this tangle of agave and nasturtium. ¥ Lorfords London United Kingdom  +44 (0)20 3434 3133 www.lorfordsantiques.com

Ceredigion County Council acquired the site, and an options appraisal to identify future potential uses included heritage interpretation, a restaurant, holiday accommodation, restored gardens and space for openair events. Phase I of the redevelopment was the repair of the castle’s curtain walls; Phase II was the conservation and upgrading of the six buildings within the walls and restoration of the Regency gardens. The project brief required new accommodation to house the restaurant and catering facilities and the decision was taken to locate this new building above a section of the castle walls providing views across the Teifi quayside and the river below and inwards across the gardens. Purcell Architects’ design cantilevers out above the castle walls, giving it a strong visual presence. Dark Blue Grey cleaved walling from Welsh Slate’s Cwt-y-Bugail quarry clads the interior and exterior walls of the 70-cover restaurant, which is uncompromisingly contemporary, with large glazed elevations taking advantage of the views and giving it a transparency which helps minimise its impact on the site. The coursed walling is complemented by floor tiles in the same material. The company’s Penrhyn Heather Blue slates have been used on roofing projects on restored buildings within the castle walls. ¥ Welsh Slate United Kingdom  +44 (0)1248 600656 www.welshslate.com

Sound design benefits

Signature collection offers innovative studio ranges

Newly launched by acousticpearls, Fiber Ceiling is a tile system combining the functional aspect of improving acoustics with the aesthetics of design lighting. With a modular approach, it offers a wide array of solutions for architectural applications. The slimline polyester-fleece tiles come in two acoustic versions of standard or high (with additional low-frequency absorber), three standard sizes and three colours. Bespoke options are available, and the tiles can be accented by professional lighting in the form of LED spotlights and uplights developed for the product by lighting specialist Buschfeld.

The Harmony designer brand from Spanish tile manufacturer Peronda offers a wide variety for surfaces of all kinds from mosaics to assorted decorative products also featuring non-ceramic materials. Its Signature products feature exclusive designs by international studios. With their emphasis on innovation, these collections offer a compendium of ideas, colours and textures by and for interior design professionals.

through collaborations between them. Also from Harmony, Lins tiles by Yonoh (above and below, right) play with light, using crisscrossing lines to generate visual effects for transforming surfaces into huge murals. The four different designs take advantage of the subtlety of lines as opposed to differing levels, so that shadowplay and volumes are generated by the horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines themselves.

Top and below, the Lenos collection for Harmony by Francisco Segarra of furniture and interior design studio Onset fuses industrial and vintage looks with aged-effect porcelain tiles. It comes in 22.3 ≈ 22.3 and 45 ≈ 45 cm formats with multiple, combinable shades of colour, for use on walls and floors. The appealing soft, watercolour-style of these tiles in whites, greys and pastel tones is complemented by a black-and-white and several multicoloured designs, all echoing vintage Mediterranean patterns, as well as a gentle grey diagonal stripe on a white ground.

The Yonoh studio was founded by industrial designers Clara del Portillo and Alex Selma, who have united their creative interests. They work in the fields of product, graphic and interior design with projects that stand out for their simplicity and functionality, with the emphasis on originality and innovation. The studio has won several international design awards. This white-body Lins wall tile is 20 x 20 cm and comes in a choice of six neutral Mediterranean colours: Brown, Taupe, Teal, Mint, Pumpkin and Sunset. The Pumpkin-colour tile above offers a close-up view of one of the designs, which work well both together and separately.

As part of the company’s Fiber Surface Concept, two other products under development are soon to be made available. Fiber desktop is a slender panel solution for use on desks, counter tops and other horizontal surfaces, whilst the Fiber Structure system enables creative wall and ceiling structures using this lightweight material, as seen below. All products have a fire classification according to DIN EN 13501-1:2010: B-s2, d0 and are fully recyclable. ¥ acousticpearls Germany  +49 (0)421 4270 87 80 www.acousticpearls.de/en.html

This high-end design is part of the Peronda Fashion Lab Project, which was born as a laboratory of ideas and trends between Peronda Group and different multidisciplinary artists. With the concept of synergy as a base, the project unites company and artist

Communication Landscapes – the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2017 “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” When Ken Olsen, Founder of Digital Equipment Corp., made his famously mistaken judgement in 1977, large IBM mainframe computers filled entire rooms, and Olsen’s company Digital Equipment Corp was famous for its ‘smaller’ wardrobe-size computers. Just three years later, in 1980, the Apple II entered the market, giving people access to personal computing and paving the way for what followed. Today we are witnessing the ongoing development of personal digital fabrication. After ubiquitous computation, the making of things is becoming accessible with the advent of desktop 3D printers, small-scale CNC milling machines and laser cutters. This novel production culture is intrinsically tied to a digital global network of opensource knowledge exchange and a virtually endless universe of things waiting to be transformed from bits into atoms. The disruptive nature of personal digital fabrication will obviously change entire industries, but what will it do to our cities? At the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2017 in South Korea, an ambitious international exhibition initiated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and organ-

ized by the Seoul Design Foundation, one of the key topics is the Production City. Codirected by Hyungmin Pai (Professor, University of Seoul) and Alejandro Zaera-Polo (Professor, Princeton University), the Biennale will “explore the role and potential of urban manufacturing by providing participants with the opportunity to create new products and develop new modes of production using existing production facilities in the areas of the Dongdaemun Gate and Eulijiro neighborhood. The intention of these experiments is to reveal the spatial network of manufacturing ecosystems and discover the potential for new urban architectural systems such as building complexes with a mixed-use of housing and factory.” (Citation taken from the website: http://seoulbiennale.org/en/ seoul-lab). Henn architects and the Digital Design Unit (DDU) of the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany have been invited to participate in the Seoul Architecture Biennale 2017 with an installation.

Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to interact with a robotically-driven production line that produces objects in real-time. The design of these objects will be based on visitors’ intuitive inputs such as voice or gestures, which will be translated into geometry and finally hot-wire cut by an industrial robot. While one part of the cut will stay in the exhibition, the second part will be given to the visitor. The exhibition will invite visitors to become part of the artwork. They will be able to produce their own unique objects while at the same time sharing with the community, with the installation making use of the by-products of the user-objects. A growing fabric will be woven from the unique pieces, which together will reflect the collective design effort. The Biennale will run from 1 September to 5 November in concomitance with the UIA World Architects Congress (3-10 September 2017). The main venues of the Biennale are Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Donuimun Museum Village and Sejong Daero Gallery. http://seoulbiennale.org

The teams’ installation, Communication Landscapes, investigates and showcases novel forms of production and interaction through the use of digital design technologies and robotic fabrication in architecture.

The lively charm of mixed usage Thanks to an automatic reputation of lively urbanity, old neighbourhoods are extremely popular with residents. New buildings, however, can capture some of this charm too, like the variety of successful projects presented in this volume from the “best of DETAIL” series. In the end, it’s a question of mixed usage – residential and commercial as well as open spaces and opportunities for old and young

residents of various nationalities and different social structures. Even in these times of an increasingly digitally connected society, urbanity still manages to express itself largely through diversity. In addition to surprising theses on high-density housing, this publication presents a refreshingly inviting selection of projects from around the world that would give anyone the desire to move to the city.
