Museum Park of The the Polytechnic Museum / Wowhaus
MOSCOW, RUSSIA
• Architects: Wowhaus
• Area: 14000.0 m²
• Design phase: 2015 – 2016
• Construction phase: 2017 – 2019
• Design Team: Mikhail Kozlov (senior project architect), Maria Khokhlova, Anastasia Rychkova, Anton Sevastyanov, Igor Yakovlev, Marina Yarmarkina, Denis Manshilin, Alyona Zaitseva, Margarita Leonova
• Clients: OAO MNIITEP, Polytechnic Museum Development Fund
• Landscape: Nature form studio
• Lightning: Ultimatum Group
Objective:
Following the concept by Junya Ishigami the territory around the Polytechnic Museum was to be transformed into a Museum Park – a thoroughly designed public space, whose structure takes into account the needs of the Museum and its visitors, as well as intensive transport and pedestrian flows, and the requirements of the city authorities concerning streets and town squares
Solution:
A park-amphitheatre in front of the Museum - an open-air foyer that will become an extension of the spaces inside the building and will act as a prologue, while the inner space is under construction. It will be able to host events while uniting the new pedestrian zone in the building’s lower ground level with the outdoor area alongside Lubyanka Square, attracting pedestrians and providing them with a convenient and pleasant route into the Museum complex.

Text description provided by the architects. In the contemporary city, the museum long since ceased to be simply a place for storing exhibits, school trips and the “cultural leisure” of adults on their days off. It should be a full-fledged participant in urban life, able to compete on equal terms with parks, cinemas and restaurants. Museum Park is a pedestrian zone and public space that helps draw city dwellers into the Polytechnic Museum.

Can Sau. Emergency Scener / unparelld’arquitectes
Consolidation and adaptation of a party wall in the center of Olot, SPAIN
• Architects: unparelld’arquitectes
• Area: 113.0 m²
• Year: 2019
• Manufacturers: Modern Masters, Rajoleria Llensa, Rixaab
• Lead Architect: Eduard Callís, Guillem Moliner
• Lead Artist: Quim Domene
• Design Team: Clàudia Calvet, Xevi Rodeja, Sara Palmada, Sergi Jiménez
• Client: Olot town hall
• Builder: Construo Construccions Generals
• Consultants: Amaia López, Structural designer
•
The Tura church, confined between narrow streets, gains a public space, presided by the blinded door of the previous temple of the XV century.
--------
unparelld’arquitectes has transformed a party wall in the old city center of olot, spain, with an inhabitable brick façade of three vaults and four niches. titled can sau emergency scenery, the intervention offers a new public space while consolidating the party wall and guaranteeing its waterproof qualities. the structure completes the four existing stepped buttresses it has been built upon, revealing in the background the traces of domestic activity marked on the party wall.
unparelld’arquitectes’ intervention occupies an urban void in the old city center of olot, created when half of can sau building was demolished for street alignment purposes. the empty lot is characterized by a party wall and four stepped buttresses that faced the side façade of the church of the patron saint of olot. ‘in the compact city, the façades take responsibility for giving shape and character to the street,’ explains the local architecture studio. as such, apart from guaranteeing the waterproof qualities of the party wall, the studio has transformed the abandoned lot into a public space where a porous façade offers the background for various cultural activities and social interactions.
using hollow bricks, unparelld’arquitectes built an emergency scenery that completes what the four existing buttresses suggest, revealing traces of domestic activity marked on the party wall. the construction comprises three vaults and four niches, accompanied by a minimum of stands. visual artist, quim domene, intervened a posteriori in the niches, with elements allegorical to the history of the neighborhood.

Recovery of Merola’s Tower / Carles Enrich Studio
RESTORATION, LANDMARKS & MONUMENTS
•
PUIG-REIG, SPAIN
• Arquitectos: Carles Enrich Studio
• Area: 40.0 m²
• Year: 2019
• Manufacturers: AutoDesk, Tallfusta
• Lead Architect: Carles Enrich Giménez
• Clients: Servei de Patrimoni Arquitectònic Local (Diputació de Barcelona) and Puig-reig Town Council
• Engineering: MASAad
• Landscaping: Carles Enrich Studio
• Collaborators: Brufau Cusó (executive supervision)
• Built Area Tower: 40 m2
• Built Area Environment: 160 m2
In the south of the municipality of Puig-reig stand the remains of the heritage site of the castle of Merola, dating from the late thirteenth century. Due to the documented earth tremors that shook Catalonia in the 1500s, only one of the faces of the defense tower, originally with a rectangular plant of 5 x 3,8 m and 14,8 m height, is still standing. The detachment of a part of its coronation in 2016 puts Puig-reig Town Council on alert. The high risk of collapse, with the subsequent loss of the monument, called for an intervention to guarantee the preservation of the remains and recover the building for the village and as an attraction for visitors.
Two basic lines of intervention were adopted to meet these aims: the consolidation of the surviving remains and the reinforcement of the medieval structure. Reinforcement takes the form of a timber structure comprising 18 sections of 14-cm square that follow the original perimeter of the stone wall. Like scaffolding, it structurally stabilizes the pre-existing construction, recovers the original volume and restores its function in the territory as a lookout and defense point.
The new structure resolves the functional reinforcement conditions and establishes a dialogue with the pre-existing stone wall, evidencing the intervention with respect to the original construction. The missing foundation is recovered with lime concrete and the two structures are tied using wooden profiles anchored to the stone canvas at 14 points.
The insertion of a stairway inside the structure provides access to the three original levels of circulation and facilitates future maintenance of the monument. The ascent to the upper level of the tower recovers a point of view that had been inaccessible since the fifteenth century.
Finally, the stones found in the archaeological excavation are reused to delimit the intervention and show the original demolition material.
