Abstract:

Integration of (new) technical concepts in OMA architecture

Session 2, September 11

Presenter:

Erik Schotte, OMA





The lecture will show some example of our approach in relating and integrating new or other approaches into architecture in a way that they blend with the architecture rather than that the architecture is built around them.

Presentation Title: Creating a Global School for Business for the 21st Century.

Presenter:

W. Jeff Floyd, Jr., FAIA







The International Team of educators, architects and business persons that have created the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. India have created a new organization and campus designed to become the premier business school in Asia. This project is a collaboration of McKinsey & Company executives, John Portman & Associees, architects, and the Kellogg Business School of Northwestern University and the Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania. The new 500- student campus will provide graduate business degrees to international students, primarily from Asia and Europe, plus a large Executive Education Conference Center for corporate executives' training. The academic plan will use distance education via multi-media and Internet technologies to have faculty teach from the United States and on- campus. The campus was created by asking 50 international companies to give US$ 5 million each to start the school. The master plan. programme, design and construction were completed in 20 months. It opens for its first class in July.

SCHOOL UPGRADING

Presenter:

Architect Gavriela Nussbaum

3 Gretz st. Tel aviv Israel


IN 1999 THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION HAD OPENED AN UPGRADING PROGRAM FOR EXISTING OLD SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. IT AROUSE AS AN ANSWER TO THE DEMAND EXPRESSED BY THE MUNICIPALITIES. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS THE MINISTRY HAD TO PHRASE STANDARDS AND CRITERIAS FOR APPROVAL. THE MAIN CRITERIAS WERE:

1. SCHOOLS OLDER THAN 15 YEARS

2. SCHOOLS BUILT UNDER THE STANDARDS AS CLASS SPACE ETC.

3. COMMUNITY SCHOOLS GOT PRIORITY S

4 SCHOOLS NEEDED ACOUSTIC TREATMENTS IN NOISY AREAS SUCH AS AIRPORTS

5. SCHOOLS WITH NEW PEDGOGIC SYSTEMS

6. SCHOOLS WITH TOILETS OUT SIDE THE MAIN BUILDING

7. SCHOOLS BUILT UNFIT TO THE SAFETY REGULATIONS OR HAVE CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS

8. SCHOOLS WITH SOCIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AS RESULT OF IMMIGRATION OR GAP BETWEEN NEW AND OLD SCHOOLS IN THE SAME AREAS.

UNTILL 1999 THERE HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED A SYSTEM TO DEAL WITH EXISTING SCHOOLS AND NO SPECIAL BUDGETS FOR IT. THE MUNICIPALITY HAD TO DEAL WITH IT ALONE AND COULD NOT FINANCE SUCH BIG RENIVATIONS WITH HIGH COSTS. THE FIRST FAZE WAS TO ASK ALL MUNICIPALITIES TO APPLY FOR RENOVATIONS OF SCHOOLS ON SPECIAL FORMS WITH THE RELEVANT UNFORMATION ON EACH SCOOL. 1460 APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED, ONE FOR EACH SCHOOL. 570 WERE APPROVED AFTER PRECISE EXAMINATIONS OF PLANS AND COSTS. 130 WERE REALISED AND RENOVATED. (10% OF THE APPLICATIONS AND 23% OF THE APPROVED). THE PROGRAM CONTINUES ACCORDING TO BUDGETS RELEASE BY THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE. THR PROCESS OF APPROVING IS COMPLICATED. NEW SCHOOLS CONSTRUCTION HAS A "KEY COST" FOR SQUARE METER. IN RENNOVATIONS THE UNEXPECTED ELEMENT IS HIGH AND COSTS HAVE TO BE CALCULATED ACCORDING TO DETAILED PLANS. THE STARRING POINT IS A SURVRY OF THE EXISTING BUILDING, INCLUDING VISITS BY THE MINISTRY COMMITIE IN THE SCHOOLS. THE SCHOOL NEEDS AS PHRASED BY THE SCHOOL TEAM D THE MUNUCUPALITY ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDING DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES AS WELL AS NEW PEDAGOGIC SYSTEMS APPLIED IN THE SCHOOL. EVERY DESIGN OF SCHOOL RENOVATION HAS TO PASS THE APPROVAL OF THE COMMITTEE, WHICH INCLUDES ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS. THE PROCESS IS RATHER SLOW BUT ONCE THE PROJECT IS APPROVED THE MONEY IS TRASFERED TO THE MUNICIPALITIES AND A CONTRACT WITH A BUILDER CAN BE SIGNED. THE AVERAGE COST FOR ONE SCHOOL UPGRADING IS ABOUT 400000$ (FOR ABOUT 2000 SQM OR 12-18 CLASSES).

Abstract:

URBAN DERELICTION TO CULTURAL REGENERATION”

Presenter:

W.R. AINSWORTH OBE B.Arch. FRIBA.MCSD.FRSA


Examining the remarkable progress in the regeneration of a UK regional capital. Newcastle upon Tyne. and its visual, cultural metamorphism since the UlA seminar in the UK in 1997.

The opening of the new 'Millennium' bridge over the River Tyne. whilst beautiful in itself, marks the transformation of the Tyne's southern shore into the 'buzziest' hub of cultural activity outside London. 'Art in the Riverside' is the country's largest public art programme and is close to completion.

Newcastle upon Tyne is bidding to become the European Capital of Culture for 2008.



Frank Gehrys Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain is an outstanding exemplar of how a single building with supporting infrastructure can transform neglected urban space and with it the public confidence and identity of a City.

In the short time at my disposal and to encapsulate the essence of this seminar, I will show a short video which is a part of my home town's bid for European City of Culture in 2008, presently held by this fine City alongside Rotterdam.

Past perceptions of Newcastle upon Tyne and the North East, UK have been of deprivation and an industrial inhospitable environment. This has changed dramatically and its bid, whether successful or not, for 'Capital of Culture' will help to promote long term cultural, social, economic and environmental goals in improving the quality of life, expanding understanding, responsibility and aspirations. There is a focus on education, learning, innovation and maximum participation in every character of cultural activity — from science to music and dance, from engineering to literature, from heritage to film, from visual and performing arts to horticulture and sport, from manufacturing to architecture and design, as well as exchanges of people and cultures across Europe.

There is an important connection between learning and social regeneration. While the economic benefits of learning are clear in terms of skills, it also helps to promote active citizenship, to strengthen the family and the neighbourhood.

This initiative is a public/private partnership, a powerful combination in linking both sides of the River Tyne in a physically dynamic way.

Many major developments which were just beginning during the UlA meeting in Newcastle in 1997 have now been delivered. They include the 'Angel of the North' a towering sculpture by Anthony Gormley which has placed the once derided arts at the heart of civic pride and strengthened the political will to invest heavily in infrastructure; the stunning 'Millennium Bridge', 'Art in the Riverside', the country's largest public art programme costing in excess of £6m, 'Centre fot Life' an Institute of Human genetics, massive restoration projects in the Georgian central area of the city reinvesting inner city living. The 'Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art', the conversion of a disused grain warehouse is almost complete and the Sir Norman Foster icon building for the 'Music Centre' is taking form. The music centre has an outreaching educational programme into schools and the community.

Whilst the video is essentially a marketing tool, it expresses the metamorphism that is happening to the image and the actuality of living in the North East of the UK.

The ambitions are to use culture not only as a regeneration tool but as a strategic vehicle to overcome widespread social and economic disadvantage.
