Guggenheim of the Post-Bilbao Effect (Irgen Salianji, Karolina Szostkiewicz, Alberto Salvador Martin) The Guggenheim Bilbao had an immense influence on the post-industrial metamorphosis of the city of Bilbao. But perhaps inevitably it was the peak and the start of decay for the Guggenheim hegemony over arts. The Guggenheim cultural hegemony started in New York almost eight decades ago, with the conception of a museum that would bridge artists’ production with the city. As a landmark of western modernity’s crescendo, the Guggenheim in New York would connect art and the city through an elevator and a continuous ramp. Increasing its influence, Guggenheim would follow New York’s financial and cultural shift towards postmodernism and global management. Gradually the museum would serve as a manager of commercial operations between the mainstream cultural reproduction and clients. While art used to be exhibited inside museums for the city, the building of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao would...

 The central idea of the visitors’ pavilion can be summarized  as a spatial womb which gets activated from visitors  and generates architectural experiences and interaction.  The results of the site analysis provide the basic  axis and trajectories for the composition of the interior  spaces and the orientation of the principal parts of the  project, such as the entrance, the exposition spaces and  the secondary facilities. The main concept is therefore  the creation of a flexible and sensible organic structure  which provides concrete answers to the issues raised  by the context.

The central idea of the project is the prototype combination of the tree Trimo modular units in a way so they form an active layout which would provoke social interaction and creative use of both indoor and outdoor spaces generated. The three volumes stand on different positions depending on their content and are aligned in such a way to maximize open spaces between them, as well as providing accessibility and structural support one to each other. The result is a dynamic formation that interacts productively with its surrounding park and urban elements, while providing the potential capacity for various activities from the users.  The program of the project is hosted on the three modules and the three mayor ‘plazas’ that are created between them. The first module stands in a typical horizontal position containing a closed interior space for social meetings, café and relaxation. It has the big elevation transparent with glass, facing towards the city. The second one stands in a vert...

Team: Theoklis Kanarelis, Irgen Salianji, Christos Bletsas, Charis Siaravas The plan was to erect this school complex considering a terrace structure as the best solution to express our respect for the flora and landscape. All educational buildings of the ensemble including individual classroom building of primary school, an auditorium and kitchen-are designed on a connecting base of local stone , thus forming a promenade at the centre of the complex.                  Local stone is used especially in the first levels because it is resistant to sun, wind and humidity. The dry wall stones surrounding this school complex provide places to sit. Classrooms are constructed out of rammed earth on the upper floors, whereas kitchen and auditoriums are build of concrete.                 The crucial factor for minimizing heating and cooling cos...
