Le CORBUSIER - (1933) - SWISS Pavilion (Paris, France)

In 1924, Switzerland decided to built its student housing on the University Campus of Paris (Cité Universitaire http://www.ciup.fr/)[48°49'4.82"N - 2°20'31.59"E]. The inauguration took place in July 1933. Considered to be one of "the most free and imaginative structures" of Le Corbusier [http://www.fondationlecorbusier.fr/], the building represents a synthesis of three approaches. The first one advocates the autonomous slab free from any reference to the form of the land site. The second advocates an articulation of the slab by the means of specific functional elements, or a dialogue between industrial and "natural" materials. The third approach applies two of the five points of modern architecture: pilotis in exposed concrete and a roof terrace combining privacy and openness to the sky and sun. In many respects this buildings is a landmark, not only in the terms of Le Corbusier's own future development, but also for other architects who during the second half of the twentieth century developed their approach to architecture based to a considerable extent on Le Corbusier's pioneering experiments. Since 1945, the building has undergone several additional changes by Le Corbusier. In 1948, a wall painting was commissioned to replace the previous photo mural of 1933. In 1953, Le Corbusier transformed the southern curtain-wall in order to reduce the excessive solar impact and in 1957 he added a series of enamelled benches and a new polychromy to the rooms. On September 8th, 1965 the Swiss Pavillion was included in the register, and in 1986 confirmed and classified as a historical monument.

Le CORBUSIER - (1959) - Maison du Brésil (Paris, France)

This housing block at the Cité Universitaire complex in Paris (coordinates 48°49'04 N - 02°20'37 E) was designed by Le Corbusier for Brazilian students and researchers, was opened June 24, 1959. Initially, the design had been assigned to the great Brazilian architect Lucio Costa. The latter appealed to his friend Le Corbusier, already author of the Swiss Foundation, to help develop the project. But the project was so profoundly changed from the initial sketch that Lucio Costa abandoned his paternity of the house!

Julio Garcia LAFUENTE - The SANCTUARY of Merciful Love

2012-02-04T15:56:48.772Z

The exterior, the convex, penetrates alternating in a subtle dialectical play with the concave: the distinction between inner and outer space is so broken. Here is founded the most valuable of the church and Julio Lafuente can be satisfied with the level achieved, because this continuity between interior and exterior space is one of the goals it has set itself the best modern architecture. In the small town of Collevalenza is located the Sanctuary of Merciful Love. Designed by the architect Giulio Lafuente of Madrid in 1965. High, almost plane on the hill where is located, rendered prospectively even higher from the steep stairway access, the Sanctuary offers itself to the sight of the visitor, in particular for the gigantic canopy that breaks the façade, with a severe and impactand effect. And this severity, as lightened by the concave glass and the diagonal of the coverage gap, doesn't weigh less on the soul. Feel wanted and eloquently alluded to the weight that the pilgrim brings in and that he was invited to testify. Handmade bricks one by one: a material that speaks a language of poverty, humility in life. Then concrete, simple, raw, naked, and even local stone, rough-hewn hammer, or sleek by force of arms. Finally glass, both white and colored, in a glory of light and transparency, all bound together by the immense love of her foundress Mother of Jesus Hope Alhama Valera, for all just "Mother Hope" (Madre Speranza). The system consists of 15 elevation Towers, one of which, the apse, is divided into two halves opened to the outside, contradicting the usual individually contact the apse of the Christian Churches to the interior space, limiting and ending on the back the presbytery. But here, in Collevalenza, the apse is open in two halves and suggests to the outside, because its architect intended it to materialize "the notion that the sacred is part of" the whole world. Last chapel, the Spanish artist Vaquero Turcios has been a tapestry of the figures of St. Peter and St. Paul. The image of the two apostles, as two large columns, suggesting the strength of God's mercy, which is capable of turning men from sinners to saints of exceptional spiritual greatness.
There is also a great organ of the house Tamburrini, which extends toward the altar a beam of bright copper trumpets.

Antoni GAUDÌ - (1914) - Parco GÜELL in Barcelona, Spain

Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of El Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí". The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, whom the park was named after. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park . The site was a rocky hill with little vegetation and few trees, called Muntanya Pelada (Bare Mountain). It already included a large country house called Larrard House or Muntaner de Dalt House, and was next to a neighborhood of upper class houses called La Salut (The Health). The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güell's suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906. This house, where Gaudí lived from 1906 to 1926, was built by Francesc Berenguer in 1904. It contains original works by Gaudí and several of his collaborators. It is now the Gaudí Museum (Casa Museu Gaudí) since 1963. In 1969 it was declared a historical artistic monument of national interest. The focal point of the park is the main terrace, surrounded by a long bench in the form of a sea serpent. To design the curvature of the bench surface Gaudí used the shape of buttocks left by a naked workman sitting in wet clay. The curves of the serpent bench form a number of enclaves, creating a more social atmosphere. Gaudí incorporated many motifs of Catalan nationalism, and elements from religious mysticism and ancient poetry, into the Park. The visitor was originally greeted by two life-size mechanical gazelles, but these have since been lost during the turbulence of war. The large cross at the Park's high-point offers the most complete view of Barcelona and the bay. It is possible to view the main city in panorama, with the Sagrada Família and the Montjuïc area visible at a distance.

Massimiliano FUKSAS - (2005) - EuroPark 2 (Salzburg, Österreich)

The Europark in Salzburg is a large building situated on an area of 120,000 square meters, used as retail space and for 3000 cars parking, close to highway and airport. Its horizontal arrangement is bounded by the gently curved roof, formed by a corrugated metal fence. The radiant facades consist of a "double skin" transparent and translucent coating that is reflected in the small gap of water that surrounds the entire perimeter. They behave like modern billboards and are characterized by the name of the mall "Europark" printed in white on blue glass. The double screen printing is done on the outside than on the inner plates of glass, gives depth and dimensionality to the logo, highlighted in the evening by artificial lighting system placed in the cavity of the two skins. The exterior of the building changes every hour of the day depending on changes in natural light which makes it more or less transparent surfaces. The center is organized on four levels: the ground floor and first floor are for sale, while the basement and the roof are both used for parking. The space distribution and internal linking are optimized so as to give order and clarity to the interior and to create spaces for relaxation and aggregation. The "Squares" and "Gallerie" inside are lit by natural light from large skylights, comprised of panels and glass panels angled vertical side walls that can be opened automatically to allow for the possible evacuation of the smoke. La a great wave of light and transparent network, 140 m long 320 m wide, running along the whole facade; made of metal grating, the wave is the major architectural motif of the project. Suggestive allusion to an ocean that has no counterpart in Austria, coverage, strongly characterized, gives shelter to the parking spaces and is a strong sign of large-scale recall. The continuity of the element is in contrast to the available dynamic and tense of the underlying volume, determined by the strength of "empty" interior, which has been reserved for commercial activities. In the southern area, enriched by vegetation, a refined game of reflexes, including the big screen-printed glass wall of the mall and the tub of water crossed by paths, demonstrates once again the architect's attention to the treatment of "light" and the use of "transparency".
