Peter Zumthor
-Designed for Expo
2000 in Hannover
- create a rest house
where visitors can rest
- sounds, words, food
and drink blend together
Main idea
- as if in the forest
- timber for
construction
- timber stacks = the
trees stand in regular density
- no large paths
- everyone has his/
her own path
- sunlight floods in
through the gaps between stacks ( drive people to walk in)
- series of walls
running parallel and perpendicular to each other
- gaps in the stacks
allow people to see through the next space.
- bar areas and
performing area are created by omitting some of the stack walls
Entrance
- open and permeable
- people can access
from all sides of the building
- no established
circulation
Basic Structure
- base on 4 stacks of
stacked walls group together in a pin-wheel like formation
- divided into flank
courts and cross court
- flank court: house
the service units, located wherever the sides of 4 stacks met
- cross court: house
the courtyards, located wherever the ends of 4 stacks meet
Nordic Countries Pavilion
Sverre Fehn
- locate in the only
park in Venice
- the building is
blend into the park (introducing open walls and preserve existing trees)
- no disconnection in
the park
The pavilion
- opposite walls are
open
- allows pre-existing
circulation to continue through
- spaces are defined
with a minimum of enclosed walls
- completely open,
allows nature to become part of the exhibition space
- interior rooms are
defined by existing trees more than by walls
Roof
- the girders run
perpendicularly and set on top of each other
- block any sunlight
from reaching the floor
- interruption in grid
allows the existing tree to extend through the roof
- glass fibre gutters
are stretched between the rows of girder
