FINAL PROJECT:

TRUJILLO

Theatre in the interior of Trujillo's castle

The project aims to be as respectful as possible of the site: it is smooth coverage, allowing the inside to generated free use of space, protected from rain. It is a modular free plan, without barrier, which impedes in any case the visit of the castle. This is why the theater space is not made up of tier, but single-seat and can fit every possible type of show. Only two prefabricated modules are placed so as to service the two activities created: a bar and a theater. The module consists of a steel structure on which are ask translucent plastic plate, which creates an intimate space while letting in light.

FINAL PROJECT:

ALCANTARA

Antoine du Bus and Victor Vandewattyne

Museum on the hill

Implantation plan

Located on a historic site of Extremadura, the project is to build an archaeological museum on the site of the ancient ruins of a convent. In continuation of the old convent, our project uses the idea of building patio, but the reverse. This patio traditionally dug in the middle of the building, is replaced here by the presence of a mysterious box located in the heart of the building.

Implantation in the plot

Main concept

The main idea of the project is to develop a box in a box. The inter box is the center of the exhibition and the outer box is the skin of the building. With that idea, we played the materials and the structure to create light effects and perceptions concepts.

Developement of the project

The inter box is built according to the adobe vernacular tradition, incorporating stones found on the site. Exhibition spaces are carved into the wall, thanks to this, the box becomes a full exhibition stand.
The outer box is in turn a translucent skin consists of a wooden structure covered with perforated steel. This structure gives the whole a diffuse and soft light to the entire space.
Between these two boxes float trays. The high ceilings are changing creating from simple to double high depending of the type of the spaces.

Composition, structure and materials

Open view

To enter into the building, the visitors must first pass a porshe that leads to the museum or the church.

Once in the building, the visitors can take a rest in the entrance hall before taking the elevator to start the tour. The visit starts at the top and ends in the basement but each level can be visited freely. Once the visit is complete, visitors arrive at the cafetaria in connection with the bookshop with a clear view of the landscape. They can then enjoy the outdoor terrace before leaving to visit the rest of the site.

FINAL PROJECT:

ARCHEOLOGIC CENTER RESEARCH OF MEDELLIN

Implantation View

The program consist in an Archeologic Center Research in Medelin, Spain. Because of the particularity of the site (nivel and historics monuments), the landscape is, in this project, very important. Between two churches and a roman theater, the building is quiet discreet. Infiltrated in the hill like a scar, the building gives another way to start or finish the visit of the hill.

Implantation Plan

The challenge of the building was to find a balance between the integration in the hill and the rythm of the new way created. To integrate well and create a nice atmosphere, the materials are very important. I choose to use the corten steel for his natural aspect and for his properties (good resistance to atmospheric conditions and usefull in structure). The form the building, quiet organic, allows each rooms to open well to the outside. 

Exploded axonometric

The project provides a rythmic journey of ten meters of level with views that sometimes emerge to outward but mainly focused on activity within the building, archeology. On the lowest level is the rest and eat area. From there, you can visit the archeologic part from the inside or the outside. The office area is the secund entrance. In fact this is a two-way road. There isn't a specificly entrance. The borders between inside and outside can be easily break with the sliding windows. Thus the inside part can expand to the outside easily. The arcade structure inside the building is use as portics between the rooms. They also let expose archeologic stuff on shelves anchored against the blind walls.

PROJECT DRAWING:

“No House should ever be on a hill or on anything. It must 

be of the hill, belonging ti the hill” F.L.W.

Sketch project:

The party of my project is the discretion of the building in its context. It does not disturb the landscape which has a strong history. That's why I worked on various forms of integration in the hill.

Aerien view of the project.

The site immediately inspired me the notion of progress. Between the end of the road and the various munuments presents on the hill, there are already several ways. I wanted to create analternative of that way who will be more focus on the archeologic part.

Implentation plan

I wanted to create analternative of   that way who will be more focus on the archeologicThe project    gives the visitors a dining and visiting area out of the outside context of the monumental buildings.       The new way offers the pportunity to come to immerse them in a new universe who gets the world of archeology.

Organisation plan

  The two first blocs take the program of the welcome pavillon. At first, the restaurant and the bar and after the rest area, the toilets and the warehouse. The two last blocs take the archeologic program with at first the offices, meeting rooms, toilets, dressing and the photography room. The lastone is the work area for the searchers with his warehouse.

Main plan

Transversal section

The outside walls of the project are worked in an "organic" way to be more discreet but also to make rythm in the progress.

Longitudinal section

The blocs are more high more you proceed in the hill. The stairs create differents area when it is possible to rest because of their bigness.
