Country #Serbia #EU

🔤After the war, Yugoslavia was in dire need of rebuilding a country devastated by war. At play were the most cost-effective solutions that would address both the housing shortages and administrative needs. And exactly, it was the brutalist style that could fit such a vision perfectly.

Regarding this, Aleksandar Stjepanović, author of the Faculty of Philosophy, formed one interesting conclusion regarding the bonding of architecture for directions Brutalism and states that:

"Brutalism is not the result of the philosophy, but the consequences of possible conditions".

The facility's curved concrete interior atrium alcoves are particularly distinctive. Despite this extensive use of cold concrete, its red brick walls, copper roofing, #red tile floors and rich wooden interior adornments give the structure a warm atmosphere.

*️⃣Sendai Mediatheque

Architect #Ito #ToyoIto
City #Sendai
Country #Japan #AP

🔤With the intentions of designing a transparent cultural media center that is supported by a unique system to allow complete visibility and transparency to the surrounding community, the Sendai Mediatheque by Toyo Ito is revolutionary in its engineering and aesthetic.

Six level steel-ribbed slabs appear to float from the street, supported by only thirteen vertical steel lattice columns that stretch from the ground plane to the roof. This striking visual quality, which is one of the most identifiable characteristics of the project, is comparable to large trees in a forest and functions as light shafts as well as storage for all of the utilities, networks, and systems.

The four largest tubes are situated at the corners of the plates, which serve as the principal means of support and bracing. Five of the nine smaller tubes contain elevators, while the other four are more crooked and carry the ducts and wires.

*️⃣Qatar National Library

Architect #OMA #Koolhaas #RemKoolhaas
City #Doha
Country #Qatar #ME

🔤From the beginning the idea was to make reading as accessible and as stimulating as possible to the population of Qatar as a whole. OMA thought they could achieve that by creating a building that was almost a single room, not divided in different sections or into separate floors.

"One similarity between architecture and bookmaking is that both have unbelievably long traditions but are also forced to be of the moment, constantly updating in order to survive." — Rem Koolhas

#quote@simoderna.

The edges of the building are lifted from the ground creating three aisles which accommodate the book collection and, at the same time, enclose a central triangular space. This configuration also allows the visitor to access the building at its center, rather than laboriously entering from the perimeter. The aisles are designed as a topography of shelving, interspersed with spaces for reading, socializing and browsing.
