*️⃣Konst i tunnelbanan - art in Stockholm metro

City #Stockholm
Country #Sweden #EU

🔤The Stockholm metro is often described as the "world's longest art gallery" and is famous for the public art integrated into 94 of its 100 stations, including sculptures, rock formations, mosaics, paintings, light installations, engravings, and reliefs created by over 150 artists. #district@simoderna

Advocacy for art on the metro was driven by artists Vera Nilsson and Siri Derkert. By 1957, Stockholm City Council established a program to commission works for new stations, starting with T-Centralen (1st and 3rd pictures). #retro@simoderna

Beyond aesthetics, Stockholm regional public body believes that art at the stations contributes to a calm and safe environment and reduces vandalism and graffiti.

As another example be wandering through the entrance hall to Odenplan station (4th picture) to be captivated by the ‘lifeline’, a pattern of fluorescent lights modelled from the heartbeat of the artist’s (David Svensson) son.

*️⃣Hwanho Park Space Walk

Architect #HMUG #Mutter #HeikeMutter and #UlrichGenth #Genth
City #Pohang
Country #SouthKorea #AP

🔤SpaceWalk was designed as a spectacular traversable sculpture for the hills of Hwanho Park. This 333-metre-long, gleaming silver track reveals itself to be a winding stair, curving through space in spectacular undulations. Visitors ascend by means of a central access stair, and can then climb along the track in one of two directions.

The design of Space Walk is inspired by the concept of light found in Pohang’s Sun and Moon myth, as well as by a poetic dialogue between light and steel — a material that has driven Korea’s economic growth. The project envisions a slow, immersive walk through the sky, where art and movement merge into a single experience.

*️⃣Shanghai Cultural Greenhouse Garden

Architect #Delugan #Meissl #DMAA
City #Shanghai
Country #China #AP

🔤Before its transformation into the Expo Cultural Park, the inner-city recreational area was occupied by a coal-fired power plant and a steelworks. It was then remodeled as the location for Expo 2010.

As part of the project for the new Greenhouse Garden, the #steel structure of a former industrial hall was used as a geometrical superstructure that was then enhanced by organically shaped pavilions.

A pool adjacent to the pavilions not only provides cooling but also supplies energy to the greenhouse from PV panels that are located just below its surface. #sustainability@simoderna

*️⃣Chicland Danang Beach Hotel

Architect #VTN
City #DaNang
Country #Vietnam #AP

🔤Chicland Hotel is designed to meet business requirement of the client but doesn’t confine architecture itself to the normal commercial style. All vertical technical parts are moved to the North area to assure the clear sight of view (in the near future, there’s an upcoming a high rise building next to the hotel on the north).

Other vertical facades are covered by a sudden inspirational system of alternate tree pots which is integrated into balconies or sliding part of hotel rooms. That #greenery system has a simple design and is easy to operate and maintain.

Besides of high aesthetic, the greenery system also creates microclimate for the building and makes interior space cooler. #sustainability

*️⃣Tianjin Library

Architect #Yamamoto #RikenYamamoto
City #Tianjin
Country #China #AP

🔤The entire library is a space enclosed by bookshelves. The intersecting walls create both a large, open space and smaller, articulated spaces. Effort was made to create reading spaces that are as diverse as possible, precisely because the library is so large in size. Visitors can experience a wide variety of places as they wander through the library.

Each of the five levels features a mezzanine, so that the building appears as ten crisscrossing levels, and from any floor, visitors may view several other levels around them due to the vast openness of the design.
