New Department of Islamic Art Opens, France, 2012
•Year: 2005 - 2012
•Tipology: Museum
•Location: Paris, France > map
•Client: Musée du Louvre, Paris, France
•Budget: 42 milion €
•Total Area/Surface/Volume: 6.800 Sq m.
•Awards: International competition. Winning project,
The new Department of Islamic Arts is designed by Milanese architect Mario Bellini and his French colleague Rudy Ricciotti, who won the commission through an international competition in 2005. Similar to I.M. Pei, the pair created a naturally lit, subterranean gallery space beneath an undulating, glass roof within the courtyard of the historic Cour Visconti.
Excavated to a depth of 12 meters (40 feet), the 2,800 square meter (over 30,000 square foot) open-plan gallery will become the new home of the Louvre’s prestigious collection of Islamic Arts. The gallery’s lower level and long sculptural stairway are comprised of a special black waxed concrete, providing a stark contrast to the seemingly floating glass roof and the nearly invisible glass perimeter walls.
One of the major challenges of the design was to create a contemporary addition that could respectfully coexist with the surrounding facades of the existing, 18th century Cour Visconti.
Bellini describes, “The solution was a foulard that undulates as if suspended in space by the wind, almost touching the ground of the courtyard at one point, but without totally encumbering it or contaminating the historic facades.”
He further argues, “Obviously, no references to flying carpets, Islamic veils or musciarabia: simply a deep respect for the Islamic collection, combined with a personal knowledge (gained during the course of numerous journeys) of its geographical and cultural context.”
The “enormous veil” is constructed of a free-form lattice of 8,000 steel tubes and insulating double glazing, cloaked in gold and silver aluminum mesh. Triangular polished aluminum honeycomb panels are also integrated into the floating structure to refract the external images and diffuse daylight.
The roof weighs a total of 120 tons with a thickness ranging from 20 centimeters to 1.50 meters and a maximum height of 8 meters. It is supported by eight “light” and “slightly inclined” pillars that accentuate a sense of lightness.

Thalia Theatre, Portugal, 2008
• Architects: Gonçalo Byrne Architects & Barbas Lopes Architects
• Location: Lisbon, Portugal
• Architects: Gonçalo Byrne, Patrícia Barbas, Diogo Seixas Lopes
• Collaborators: Hugo Ferreira, João Neves, Lígia Ribeiro, Luca Martinucci, Tânia Roque
• Engineering: AFAconsult, Natural Works
• Contractor: ACF
• Area: 1600.0 sqm
• Project Year: 2008
• Photographs: DMF
Two generations of Portuguese architects have reconverted the ruins of a neoclassical theater in Lisbon, near the city zoo. The remains of the building were covered by a layer of concrete and spread in a glass pavilion, forming a multipurpose space where events and performances can take place.
The Thalia Theater was inaugurated in 1843, as a private place for the Count of Farrobo. It is located on the outskirts of Lisbon, in front of a palace and gardens, also owned by this aristocrat. In 1862, a fire burned the building with all its luxurious decoration of golden wood, mirrors and candelabra.
For almost 150 years, the Thalia Theater was in ruins. In 2008, the Ministry of Education and Science of Portugal commissioned a study to reconvert the Thalia Theater in a space of multiple uses.
In order to preserve the ancient walls of the Thalia Theater, the exterior was completely covered by a layer of terracotta concrete forming a large monolithic body. It consists of the original volumes of the audience and the stage, 23 meters high. Within these two spaces the ruins were left intact in a show of their own.
An adjacent one-story, fully glazed structure houses the additional program as a reception, services, and cafeteria. The new wing embraces the Thalia Theater and faces the busy contiguous street through a continuous surface of crystals that reflect the surroundings.
The project for the reconversion of the Thalia Theater in Lisbon combines the old and new parts of the building in an urban complex overlooking the nearby zoo. Bring back the memory of the past as a place for fantasy, imagination and civic life.

Villers Abbey Visitor Center, Belgium, 2016
•Architects: Binario Architectes
•Location: 1495 Villers-la-Ville, Belgium
•Area: 420.0 sqm
•Project Year: 2016
•Photographs: François Lichtle, …
•Manufacturers: Abet Laminati, Dorma, Heradesign
•Structure: JZH et partners
•Fluids: SECA benelux
•Lightning: Henriette Michaux
•Landscape: Du Paysage (Virginie Pigeon et Sébastien Ochej)
•Scenography: L'Escaut
The Villers abbey site is crossed and split by the N275 national road so it loses logic and unity. Architecture, through a common intervention in landscape and scenography fields, tries to reunite the full Cistercian composition plan. The project leads to a truly sequence from the parking to the ruins and prepares the visitors. The new path goes by the mill (reception hall, scenography spaces, models room), reaches the hill across the new footbridge, continues through the garden, crosses the second bridge over the national road and finally goes down into the ruins. The project highlights a common thread by means of sober materials (corten, wood, concrete) set up in various ways.

Medieval Mile Museum Kilkenny Ireland / McCullough Mulvin Architects
• Architects: McCullough Mulvin Architects
• Location: Kilkenny, Ireland
• Lead Architects: Niall McCullough, Ronan O’Connor
• Area: 700.0 m2
• Project Year :2017
• Photographs: Christian Richters
• Manufacturers: Flos
St Mary’s Hall, formerly St Mary’s Church, High Street, Kilkenny was founded in the thirteenth century as the parish church of the City. In use as a Parish and Masonic Hall since the mid-20th century, it was purchased by Kilkenny Borough Council in 2010 with assistance from Kilkenny County Council and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
The building is a cruciform 13th century stone structure with a later tower at its Western end; it sits in a substantial walled graveyard to the rear of High Street. The graveyard has recently been opened as a garden to the public; it contains many important tombs and monuments from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
The church had acquired depth and complexity in monuments and nave aisles, elements which were later shorn off, the aisles removed, the chancel demolished- a shape expanding and contracting, already through a violent cycle of change. As found, the interior was cut up into separate rooms and levels to make a parish hall.
The project intention was to restore the church as a museum, retaining some of the 20th century interventions, and to honour its medieval spatial complexity by re-constructing the North aisle and chancel to the original plan but a different internal section and materiality using the base of the original walls in an non-interventive way. The chancel room overlooks the town, re-establishing its dominant form in the urban landscape; the space beneath it becomes a tomb-filled undercroft. Both of the new gabled elements are finished in lead, with rooflights directed to levels of archaeology below.
The St.Mary's project is in essence a conservation project. The design team led by McCullough Mulvin Architects commenced work on the project in March 2012. The Part 8 Planning process was conducted in late 2013. Initial works were three-fold consisting of:
1. Archaeological excavation and extensive surveys of the church fabric with a view to analysing its structure and fabric for conservation purposes and in preparation of contract documents using Public Works Contract.
2. Careful removal of the 1960's interventions in the church- This work was completed in late July 2014 using an Enabling Works Contract by local firm, Ashgrove Construction.
3. Monuments Room: Monuments have been removed from the floor and walls (where necessary) under strict Archaeological/Conservation supervision, placed in protective packing and stored for re-use in the completed project.
The project includes for full restoration of the existing building and two modern extensions, one to the north on the footprint of the original north aisle & the "Kilkenny Room" which will replicate the former Chancel to the east.Graveyard-Memorial Repairs & RestorationPhase 1 of a programme of conservation & repair of 20 monuments was completed in March 2014.
This project included the Shee Mausoleum and those located in the former unroofed Chancel area at the East end of the church where a new room to be called the Kilkenny Room will be constructed.
Following a two stage tender process Duggan Brothers Contractors Ltd., Templemore, Co. Tipperary were appointed as Main Contractors for the project and work commenced on 9th February 2015. Contract sum is € 4.09 million excluding VAT. The project is due for completion in mid-2016.
The installation of the crane was completed on 13th May and is a most welcome addition to the Kilkenny skyline! Regular up-dates will be provided as work progresses on this exciting project.
