A three-sided box of silvery panels covered with pop-art green circles created a stage within the stage at the Joyce SoHo on Friday evening. (designed by *MULTIPLICITIES) The last and strongest piece on the program, it began with a man (Marcelo Rueda) writhing on the floor, spangled with light, as a woman (Megan Sinnwell) wandered dreamily along the perimeters, gazing at her reflection - and perhaps something more - in the panels. Aided by a textured electronic score by Juan Sosa - and by atmospheric lighting (by Mr. Rueda and Julie Ana Dobo) that variously suggested an underwater grotto, a verdant sunlit wood or warm daylight - Ms. Cardiel succeeded in creating an abstract fairy tale with limited means. Mr. Rueda seemed to be an innocent in the woods, first crawling toward, then finally dancing with Ms. Sinnwell. Although she remained dominant throughout their encounter, there were no romantic overtones; the two remained mostly apart even as Mr. Rueda's dancing became larger in scale, matching Ms. Sinnwell's neat, contained jumps and reaching arms. "Forest" is just 15 minutes long, and its ending - both dancers gazing, absorbed, into the panels - seemed a bit sudden. But Ms. Cardiel's handling of her central idea of an inner search was both restrained and poetic. ________________________ DESIGN TEAM: DANIEL HOLGUIN and NATALIA PORTER ________________________ http://www.multiplicities.net/Coney-Island http://www.multiplicities.net/following/multiplicities.net/Coney-Island Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:11:24 +0000 *MULTIPLICITIES 2696796 <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_001_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_001_o.jpg" data-mid="13669981" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_003-BW_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_003-BW_o.jpg" data-mid="13669987" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_004_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_004_o.jpg" data-mid="13669991" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_005_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_005_o.jpg" data-mid="13669994" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_006_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_006_o.jpg" data-mid="13669996" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_007_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_007_o.jpg" data-mid="13669999" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_008_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_008_o.jpg" data-mid="13670008" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_009_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_009_o.jpg" data-mid="13670015" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_013_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2696796/PARACHUTE_multiplicities_holguin_013_o.jpg" data-mid="13670032" border="0" align="left"/> #header_container{position:relative;top:-10px;left:0px;height:80px;}#header_content{position:absolute;top:30px;left:0px;} .header_img{position:absolute;left:-5px; .nav_container{position:absolute;top:45px;left:910px;width:300px;height:20px;} #horizontal_dotted_line{position:relative;top:65px;left:0px;} .project_content{position:relative;width:1200px;left:0px!important;top:-40px!important;height:900px;} h1{position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;font-weight:normal!important;} .slideshow_wrapper{position:absolute;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:130px;} .slideshow_component{position:relative;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:0px;margin-bottom:5px;} .slideshow_thumbs{display:block;position:relative;top:10px;left:135px;width:900px!important;} .entry{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .bodycopy{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} #maincontainer_wrapper{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .container{position:absolute;top:-60px;left:-15px;width:260px;height:650px;overflow:auto;} .content{width:220px;height:2250px;margin:10px auto;position:relative;top:-75px;overflow:hidden} p{position:relative;top:-60px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;text-align:left;} CONEY ISLAND PARACHUTE PAVILION 2004 __________________________ THE PARACHUTE PAVILION Coney Island has been a national playground for over a century, a place where machines of industry and new technologies were turned into instruments of play. This pavilion aspires to be a box of wonders complied in one structure, which brings to the site the new generation of Coney Island’s mechanical toys. It is composed of the following elements: 1. THE PARACHUTE The parachute is a pneumatic structure that may be inflated/deflated as required by seasonal or programmatic circumstances. This structure can be anchored at different positions within the raised plaza allowing for various configurations in shape depending on the air pressure given to the air beams that support the ETFE tent. The air beams project from the Box of Wonders façade facing the plaza. 2. THE RAISED PLAZA Six feet above the level of the boardwalk, an open public plaza serves as an extension and amplification of the Coney Island Boardwalk. It is an event space for many configurations: a resting place for The Parachute or simply a vintage stand point below. The steps up to the plaza overlook the boardwalk and soccer field beyond, acting as a connector and spectator transition. The steps up to the plaza will foster spectators on-looking matches between local teams or observing passers by coming and going from the baseball stadium to the Coney Island Boardwalk. An additional and optional Grand Stand exists as an extension of the Plaza steps emphasizing the gesture of this stepping surface connector. 3. RESTAURANT AND SHOP The Restaurant and Shop are accessed by the ramp that connects the parking lot with the Boardwalk. Both spaces are directly under the raised plaza. Seating is placed up against the edge of the site in close proximity with the Coney Island Parachute Jump Structure. A set of stairs and elevator drop down from the plaza into the Shop space as an alternate entry point to this level. 4. RAMP The competition site is split by a ramp which connects the parking lot with the boardwalk from level 0’-0”to level +8’-0”. Visitors may access the Coney Island Boardwalk along this path where they will pass by the pavilion storefront and find one of the entries into the Restaurant and Shop. This public connection anchors the pavilion to the site and its visitor flows making the pavilion an important nodal connection. 5. THE BOX OF WONDERS The Box of Wonders is a stage where performance takes place at an elevated storefront structure facing the boardwalk. Artists, freaks, performers, and ordinary people will take stand and show off their wonders to spectators on the boardwalk below. __________________________ CREDITS: Name: Parachute Pavilion Date: 2004 Location: Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY Team: Daniel Holguin, Natalia Porter, Eduardo Ramos Program: Public Plaza/Parachute Pavilion, Box of Wonders, Restaurant, Retail Client: Van Alen Institute Competition __________________________ http://www.multiplicities.net/WTC http://www.multiplicities.net/following/multiplicities.net/WTC Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:54:03 +0000 *MULTIPLICITIES 2679565 <img src="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_001_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_001_o.jpg" data-mid="13579862" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_002_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_002_o.jpg" data-mid="13579869" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_003_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_003_o.jpg" data-mid="13579883" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_004_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_004_o.jpg" data-mid="13579890" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_005_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_005_o.jpg" data-mid="13579897" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_006_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload18.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2679565/WTC_multiplicities_FULK_006_o.jpg" data-mid="13579911" border="0" align="left"/> #header_container{position:relative;top:-10px;left:0px;height:80px;}#header_content{position:absolute;top:30px;left:0px;} .header_img{position:absolute;left:-5px; .nav_container{position:absolute;top:45px;left:910px;width:300px;height:20px;} #horizontal_dotted_line{position:relative;top:65px;left:0px;} .project_content{position:relative;width:1200px;left:0px!important;top:-40px!important;height:900px;} h1{position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;font-weight:normal!important;} .slideshow_wrapper{position:absolute;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:130px;} .slideshow_component{position:relative;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:0px;margin-bottom:5px;} .slideshow_thumbs{display:block;position:relative;top:10px;left:135px;width:900px!important;} .entry{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .bodycopy{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} #maincontainer_wrapper{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .container{position:absolute;top:-60px;left:-15px;width:260px;height:650px;overflow:auto;} .content{width:220px;height:2250px;margin:10px auto;position:relative;top:-75px;overflow:hidden} p{position:relative;top:-60px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;text-align:left;} WTC ENDURING MEMORIES a Memorial to Victims & Survivors NEW YORK, NEW YORK 2002 __________________________ PROJECT DESCRIPTION Throughout its history, America and particularly New York City have served as attractors to people throughout the world who seek the freedom to live out their dreams. As a result New York has thrived as a dynamic center of cultural production and intellectual capital. Principle among New York's assets and contributions that have positioned the city at the center of the world are its people from near and far. Among the horrors of September 11th, 2001 and February 26, 1993, perhaps the greatest tragedy was the fact that the lives of so many people and the dreams and the dynamism that they engendered on this site, in this city, in this country and in the world were cut short. The purpose of this proposal is to inject this site in Lower Manhattan with the everlasting presence of each of the 3022 victims. To capture the dynamism of the victims on this site, they must be recognized not only as individuals but in conjunction with every inhabitant of the WTC site. They operated within a network of relationships with everyone else -colleagues, commuters and visitors- who converged on the site. This system of relationships also extended beyond the site, diverging into the network of family, friends and loved ones locally throughout NY area and globally to the 92 countries that lost citizens. In order to acknowledge each individual and their part in the dynamic system of relationships, ideas and dreams that existed here, a panel that maps each victim's social and personal network will be developed. To accomplish this goal, with the help of the loved ones of each victim and drawing from the "Portraits of Grief" series that ran in the New York Times, the memories and triumphs of each person will be reconstructed loosely following a template highlighting the complex and diverse linkages in the person's family and friends, their professional life, their beliefs, their talents, their hobbies, their daily rituals, their education and teachings, and their life's passions. The tiles, which are suspended from steel cables intension are distributed across the site based on the victims' birthdays with the months of the year running in rows from the wound end of the site along Liberty Street to the North end of the site at the edge of the cultural facility. The days of the month run east to west from the edge of the viewing platform at the edge of the South Tower footprint to columns along the western boundary of the memorial site.

We kept the original facades but demolished the top floor, which used to contain the service rooms, raised the height of the structure, and built a series of interconnected exposed concrete roof shells. The geometry of the origami-like folded plates makes them self supporting, light, and therefore well-suited to a seismic zone such as Mexico City. The thickness of the surfaces varies according to the forces to which they are exposed, from 4 cm (1.6 in) to 8 cm (3 in). By building wooden mezzanines linked by metallic bridges, we doubled both the original habitable area and the height of the studio spaces. Both apartments can function as totally open studio spaces, or can be partitioned to have separate bedrooms. A shared exterior terrace allows the two units to be linked for common events and anticipates the possibility of combining the units into a single larger apartment. Situated on top of one of the highest points in the area, the common terrace serves as an observatory deck overlooking the city and as a private garden where parties take place. The large horizontal windows created by the gaps between the new and existing structures afford varied views of the city. __________________________ ARCHITECT: DANIEL HOLGUIN ENGINEER: ALBERTO GARCIA ZAVALETA CONSTRUCTION: MAESTRO FELIPE / TALLER EL CERRO __________________________ http://www.multiplicities.net/GALLO-GOWER-APT http://www.multiplicities.net/following/multiplicities.net/GALLO-GOWER-APT Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:55:01 +0000 *MULTIPLICITIES 2532260 <img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-003_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-003_o.jpg" data-mid="12784471" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-001_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-001_o.jpg" data-mid="12784467" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-002_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-002_o.jpg" data-mid="12784469" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-004_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-004_o.jpg" data-mid="12784473" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-005_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-005_o.jpg" data-mid="12784474" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-006_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-006_o.jpg" data-mid="12784475" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-007_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload11.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/2532260/GALLOGOWER_multiplicities_holguin_WEBALL-007_o.jpg" data-mid="12784477" border="0" align="left"/> #header_container{position:relative;top:-10px;left:0px;height:80px;}#header_content{position:absolute;top:30px;left:0px;} .header_img{position:absolute;left:-5px; .nav_container{position:absolute;top:45px;left:910px;width:300px;height:20px;} #horizontal_dotted_line{position:relative;top:65px;left:0px;} .project_content{position:relative;width:1200px;left:0px!important;top:-40px!important;height:900px;} h1{position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;font-weight:normal!important;} .slideshow_wrapper{position:absolute;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:130px;} .slideshow_component{position:relative;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:0px;margin-bottom:5px;} .slideshow_thumbs{display:block;position:relative;top:10px;left:135px;width:900px!important;} .entry{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .bodycopy{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} #maincontainer_wrapper{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .container{position:absolute;top:-60px;left:-15px;width:260px;height:650px;overflow:auto;} .content{width:220px;height:2250px;margin:10px auto;position:relative;top:-75px;overflow:hidden} p{position:relative;top:-60px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;text-align:left;} CONCRETE SHELL No. 2 ___________________ PROJECT NAME: _GALLO+GOWER APT YEAR: 2000 SITE: MEXICO CITY STATUS: BUILT CLIENT: RUBEN GALLO + TERENCE GOWER ___________________ PROJECT DESCRIPTION: SHELL AS STRUCTURE / TWO APARTMENTS IN MEXICO CITY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION: 2000 Shells No. 2 & 3 (Two Apartments in Condesa, Mexico City) The project comprises two apartments, built on top of a building from 1942 in one of Mexico City’s most lively neighborhoods.

A ceramic vault split in two by a skylight acts as a roof. The skylight turns vertical cracking the house with light in two pieces. The exposed concrete, brick and tzalam wooden floors has merged the architectural object into nature, camouflaging itself with the volcanic garden. *multiplicities was the architect as well as the contractor working as a design-build firm. As part of the design process, multiplicities bilt all the interior pieces at their wood/metal shop and installed them on site. The approach was to include the construction stage as the last step in the design process where one can take decisions at a 1:1 scale without compromising any aspect of the final object. ________________________ DESIGN BUILD: DANIEL HOLGUIN ENGINEER: ALBERTO GARCIA ZAVALETA PHOTOGRAPHY: ANDRE KRASSOIEVITCH CONSTRUCTION: MAESTRO DANIEL ________________________ http://www.multiplicities.net/VIENNA http://www.multiplicities.net/following/multiplicities.net/VIENNA Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:15:48 +0000 *MULTIPLICITIES 1924905 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB006_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB006_o.jpg" data-mid="12783507" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB000_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB000_o.jpg" data-mid="12768002" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB003_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB003_o.jpg" data-mid="12783497" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB004_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB004_o.jpg" data-mid="12783499" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB007_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB007_o.jpg" data-mid="12783509" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB008_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB008_o.jpg" data-mid="12783513" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB009_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB009_o.jpg" data-mid="12783515" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB010_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB010_o.jpg" data-mid="12783518" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB012_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB012_o.jpg" data-mid="12783530" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB013_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924905/VIENNAbridgeAPT_multiplicities_holguin_WEB013_o.jpg" data-mid="12783533" border="0" align="left"/> #header_container{position:relative;top:-10px;left:0px;height:80px;}#header_content{position:absolute;top:30px;left:0px;} .header_img{position:absolute;left:-5px;

What would seem like too tall for a pedestrian bridge (+18m), is a small change in topography for a mountainous nation like Austria. Landscape While forming gradual slopes, easy to access for pedestrians and bicycles that cross the entire site and connect the various existing paths in east-west and north-south direction, the elevation in topography creates space for program within its sandwiched structure. Program Rentable space is distributed throughout the entire site with a concentration on the north-eastern corner, where the double-layer structure unfolds itself into many overlapping levels, weaving housing into the landscape. A gradual transition from public to private occurs as the height increases to what resembles the peak of a small mountain. Elevated Park Housing within an urban elevated park that allows for new types in multi-dwelling using qualities from its sourrounding built fabric –transition spaces between private, semi-private and public open space of the single-family home as well as the flexible floor plates and high ceilings of industrial buildings. Site The site sits in a strategic location between the 8 villages that constitute Wien Liesing. A loosely knit network of urban fabric, open spaces, traffic arteries, landmarks, housing areas, commercial centers and left-over spaces held together and divided by 3 major arteries. The rail, which in many areas constitutes a divider rather than a connector, but creates significant destinations with its stations that connect the district to the city center. The river Liesing, a woek- in progress greenway and connector on a very local scale that runs in east-west direction through the entire district. The sites central location within this network suggests two themes in addition to the creation of new housing: To strengthen the already existing pedestrian and bicycle connections in the district. To create space for needed program identified in the districts agenda 21 in a location that is central, yet not specific to any of the 8 villages. ___________________________ DESIGN TEAM: KAJA KUHL and DANIEL HOLGUIN ___________________________ http://www.multiplicities.net/BAHREIN-CLUB-SPA http://www.multiplicities.net/following/multiplicities.net/BAHREIN-CLUB-SPA Tue, 06 Sep 2011 14:07:09 +0000 *MULTIPLICITIES 1924992 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924992/BAHREIN_multiplicities_holguin_000_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924992/BAHREIN_multiplicities_holguin_000_o.jpg" data-mid="12756190" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924992/BAHREIN_multiplicities_holguin_001_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924992/BAHREIN_multiplicities_holguin_001_o.jpg" data-mid="12756191" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924992/BAHREIN_multiplicities_holguin_002_960.jpg" width="940" height="600" width_o="940" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/138049/1924992/BAHREIN_multiplicities_holguin_002_o.jpg" data-mid="12756193" border="0" align="left"/> #header_container{position:relative;top:-10px;left:0px;height:80px;}#header_content{position:absolute;top:30px;left:0px;} .header_img{position:absolute;left:-5px; .nav_container{position:absolute;top:45px;left:910px;width:300px;height:20px;} #horizontal_dotted_line{position:relative;top:65px;left:0px;} .project_content{position:relative;width:1200px;left:0px!important;top:-40px!important;height:900px;} h1{position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;font-weight:normal!important;} .slideshow_wrapper{position:absolute;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:130px;} .slideshow_component{position:relative;width:940px!important;top:0px;left:0px;margin-bottom:5px;} .slideshow_thumbs{display:block;position:relative;top:10px;left:135px;width:900px!important;} .entry{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .bodycopy{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} #maincontainer_wrapper{position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;} .container{position:absolute;top:-60px;left:-15px;width:260px;height:650px;overflow:auto;} .content{width:220px;height:2250px;margin:10px auto;position:relative;top:-75px;overflow:hidden} p{position:relative;top:-60px;font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace;text-align:left;} SPA/CLUB PROJECT NAME: SPA / CLUBHOUSE YEAR: 2009 SITE: BAHREIN __________________________ PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CLUBHOUSE / SPA *MULTIPLICITIES was hired to design a clubhouse that contains a spa, restaurant, specialized retail and an event space in Bahrein.

MULTIPLE SPACES STATUS: 3rd place @ SHINKENCHIKU COMPETITION, JURY: STEVEN HOLL & JA - JAPAN ARCHITECT MAGAZINE __________________________ PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The building consists of two skins that interact with each other adapting and transforming its transparency, aesthetics and thermal properties as the sun moves reacting to specific program and climatic requirements: a. one exterior glass shell with its structure acts as the skeleton and supporter of the second skin (the muscle) creating a third interstitial layer between both that performs as a buffer/service zone. b. a second skin made of a new generation of improved electroactive polymers (EAPs), plastics that move in response to electricity. They are the artificial equivalent of muscles. Besides exerting controlled amounts of force, muscles also have the property of scale invariance, meaning that their mechanism works effectively at all scales. When exposed to high-voltage electric fields, dielectric elastomers (silicons and acrylics) contract in the direction of the electric field lines and expand perpendicularly to them, a phenomenon physicists term "Maxwell"stress. A SPACE AND TIME MATRIX “Time is nature’s way of preventing everything from happening at once.” -Graffito We propose a matrix with the structure of a Rubik Cube that would compile all the existing programmatic, climatic, aesthetic, sociopolitical and architectural typologies. Not a typology as a fixed model, but “a type that allows for the selection of a range of parameters or constraints set by type.” The Turing Machine would finally be built and running, connecting ourselves through direct neural pathways to the renderer of our new house. The ElectroActive Polymer skin would move swiftly and dynamically fulfilling any required spatial configuration activated by any/body. __________________________ Credits: Project: HOUSE OF MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS Design: *MULTIPLICITIES Project Team: Daniel Holguin and Natalia Porter
