PROFILE

6Platform for Architecture + Research is an office interested in architectural possibilities. Setup as a platform for exchange within a global context, our approach mixes keen analysis, formal experimentation and social responsibility into designs which uniquely respond to each project.

PAR was founded in 2003 by Jennifer Marmon in Los Angeles. Since then, we have realized several residential and office projects within the US. With the joining of Angus Goble as a partner in 2010, PAR expanded to include a satellite office in New York. Most recently, PAR has received international recognition in exhibitions at the US National Building Museum, the Keelung Harbor Tower, the Yangming Marine Museum,

Center for Architecture, SCI-Arc and the ACSA 101 Conference. In 2012, PAR was honored with numerous AIA Awards and featured in publications such as MARK, Concept, DAMDI, FRAME and Future Arquitecturas.

At present, our studio of ten is working on a cultural center proposal in Taiwan, a ranch in Uruguay, houses in Los Angeles and Seattle and a proposal for Expo Milano 2015. The construction of a our first private villa, located in the Hollywood Hills will top out in Summer 2013. Since 2011, weve begun exploring programmatic complexity through international competitions for cultural and civic projects.

8RESEARCH

To further our understanding of relevant issues and push forward architectural possibilities, PAR commits substantial efforts toward proactive research and speculative proposals. With a build-it-and-they-will-come attitude, broad themes such as typology, urbanization, materiality, decarbonization, and spatial equity are present in our agenda. We believe in the long view and as such, commit intellectual capital to ongoing research with the aim of adding value to our competition schemes, development proposals and commis-sioned architectural projects.

The projects that most clearly demonstrate this approach are PLUG-IN which creates a financing scheme to build new market rate housing without using new land, REC evaluates waste-to-building strategies within the context of a decarbonized future and LINE which considers development synergies in communities separated by socioeconomic and political realities. The premise of these projects is based on our underlying aim of mixing keen analysis and formal experimentation as drivers of design.

We are interested in design ideas and their value in the world.

Solving a design problem is a nonlinear process. We begin with an affirmative, hands-on approach by asking questions, testing concepts and defining parameters. From an early stage, iterative studies are evolved with regard to functionality and economy until a concept rises to the top. Throughout the process, we act as a PLATFORM for exchange and diversity of thought, jointly developing design ideas with our partners and clients.

Variables are translated into both physical and virtual models, investigating a given project from its initial formal explorations to final stakeholder and investor presentations. As an outpost to our studio, we are members of a fabrication co-op equipped with state of the art laser cutters, 3D printers and mills, plays an integral role in our modeling capabilities. We find referencing these models facilitates informed decision-making throughout the steps of a project.

TAICHUNG CULTURAL CENTER

The new Taichung Cultural Center, TCC, located within the Taichung Gateway District will house two regional agencies the public library and fine arts museum within one single institution. Our proposal arranges the new cultural center around a public space open towards the city of Taichung and Gateway Park. The building is conceived as a single loop of public space and cultural institutions twisting into a continuous organization that combines the virtues of both institutions, maximizing interdisciplinary exchange while preserving the autonomy.

TCC is conceived as a symbiosis of urbanity and nature. Like Taichung, which is located in the heart of the Taiwan mainland, it will be integrated into the heart of the park. The two institutions and their shared public facilities are gathered around an outdoor space framing a fourth program, an urban plaza which opens towards both Park Avenue 2 and Gateway Park. The multiple ramps and stairs of the building create an institution that is publicly accessible and welcoming on the inside as well as the outside. The urban plaza will attract the everyday life of Taichung flowing through its gateway while framing views of Taiwan Tower. Informal roof seating and stairs will make the TCC a lively place and a natural extension of the life within the park. On special occasions it will turn into an outdoor gallery or urban stage to extend the art into the city as well as the city into the institution.

The main entrance to the new Taichung Cultural Center lies to the northwest adjacent to an auto drop off along Park Avenue 2. Visitors enter through a shared lobby underneath the buildings 6m lift which leads to the public plaza. The south wing of the building tilts into the park landscape for continuous pedestrian access over top of the building from Gateway Park and Taiwan Tower.

Tailored to accommodate the proportions and daylighting requirements of the collections spaces, the reading rooms, the archives and the art galleries, the building is customized to the needs and desires of its individual tenants while fused to form a single cultural whole. The twisting volume creates a building that transforms from a horizontal organization where library, museum and support functions are placed next to each other, to a vertical organization where they are stacked on top of each other through a diagonal organization combining vertical hierarchy, horizontal connectivity and diagonal view lines

HELSINKI CENTRAL LIBRARY

The cityscape in all its varietythe idyllic Baltic Sea, the broad expanse of skyline dotted with spires, and the urbanized plane of Tlnlahti was the incentive to design a building that con-centrates on the vertical. In contrast to the other buildings in the Tlnlahti District, an essential component of the design in-volved creating a public space at the top of the libraryvisually connecting Tlnlahti to Senate Square and the city at large.

The library is organized by six intersecting axes that afford spec-tacular vistas while creating a variety of spatial configurations for the librarys program. With its six floor levels each pointing to-ward a celebrated landmark, the Central Library becomes a sym-bolic center for city. Public living rooms are located within the three sloping peaks, the Reading Room, Sauna and Restaurant. Designed as a spatial sequence with surprising transitions, each floor of the library presents connections from public spaces such as Reading Platforms, Sunrooms and the Observatory to Helsin-kis enduring icons. With panoramic views of the city and Senate Square dome, the Observatory terminates the promenade ofes-calators and staircases that dynamically rise through thebuild-ing.

A series of programmatic strips are stacked to create a narrow building that is optimal for the Helsinki climate and library pro-gram. The strips feature 11.5 m deep plates that allow for flex-ibility in collections layout and maximize available natural light, creating an ideal reading environment crucial for the library. A superimpostion of the strips is extruded up to maximum height generating a prismatic volume that contains a public void at the ground level. Along the plaza is a multi-height atrium which opens up to the park and pedestrian pathway draws people into the library.

Waste heat from process cooling (e.g. offices computer center) is going into the return of the district cooling system. During the heating season this return is used to feed a central absorption heat pump (low temperatue level). The seasonal storage is used to lift the energy potential on the hot water supply temperature level (80C).

The district energy systems allow for using several renewable sources to cover the heating demand. Process or waste heat by ships is available all year. The winter period is characterized by low temperatures and low solar irradiation for about 3 to 4 months. Therefore the heating demand varies over the season significantly, Adding a seasonal storage to the energy supply system provides the potential for optimizing the ratio of renewable used, Even the efficiency of the combined heat and power production facility is optimized by providing a heat sink in summer.

The use of a natural-gas fired microturbinecogeneration system will generateelectricity and heating for the building, with a 52% reduction over a typical Helsinki building performance. The microturbine could also be configured to run on bio-gas to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

The structure is made with 60% fly ash cement replacement concerete bubble deck and 100% recycled reinforcing steel. LED lighting fixtures and occupancy sensors used throughout the building, balanced with daylight, reduces the use of energy and light pollution.


On the west facade, a double skin will provide a thermal buffer to help retain heat within the building. The facade also extends into the basement to help bring daylight into the spaces below.

Organizzazione diffusa mantiene la compattezza e l'efficienza, massimizzando luce naturale e viste. Flessibilit intrinseca del piano si adatta facilmente a una futura espansione, mentre l'apertura si collega con il museo esistente e sito archeologico.

To best ventilate the structure, the facade will be closed in the winter and be opened in the summer to bring fresh air into the space. The benefit of extending the facade below grade, is to bring in fresh air at a low level. Heat is radiated through a raised floor displacement ventilation system. Perimeter throughs within the raised floor will conceal linear hydronic radiators to provide perimeter heating.

KEELUNG HARBOR

AWARDSInternational Prequalified, Two-Stage CompetitionHonorable Mention, September 2012

EXHIBITIONSThe Southern California Institute Of Architecture [Sci-Arc] 40Th Anniversary Exhibition, Los Angeles, Us, April 2013D3 Unbuilt Visions Awards Exhibition University Of Louisiana, Us, March - April 2013Keelung Harbor Tower Exhibition Yangming Marine Museums, Taipei, Tw, October 2012Keelung Harbor Tower Exhibition Keelung Evergreen Hotel, Keelung, Tw, September 2012

Keelung is a gateway that through its history, climate and the customs of its inhabitants, is predestined to make use of its exterior space. For this reason, we decided instead of planning the building as an independent object within an open space, we would propose buildings that will generate and structure this open space. The project form, together with the lighting, aims to provide a dramatic entry experience to Taiwan from both the sea and the city of Keelung.

Its chosen theme, A Mixing Chamber, reflects Taiwans contem-porary ambition: its different cultures the users of the termi-nal embarking on a unified future. Cutting diagionally through the terminal platform, multiple relations between the concourse and other levels of the building are established, while permit-ting new angles of vision and a changing play of light. A collec-tion of prisms crown the terminals Departure, Domestic and International Halls with luminous vaulted spaces. Derived from the interstitial space between Halls, the Marine Plaza projects inward bringing the outside in. The roof garden and interiors are designed as hybrid spaces, not only blurring the boundar-ies between exterior and interior, but which also easily adapt to the variable program. Existing public pedestrian flows along the western edge are enhanced by creating an elevated public plaza adjacent to the concourse with independent circulation. Overall, an experience of directed yet functionally separated flows lends an aura of energy to the terminal building.

To become a landmark, this project adopts a form that resists easy classification to free-associate with successive symbols of the utilitarian, the industrial, the poetic. It combines maximum artistry with maximum efficiency. The Harbor Tower is a clearly identifiable landmark. Its portal becomes a framing devise for the city while providing passage at the plaza. Given its location and placement, the figure of the tower takes a geometrical stand in relation to the mountains and transit network. Oriented to true north with the widest elevation on the Land-Sea Axis, the tower is literally the hinge between harbor and city. Tilting five degrees eastward, the towers broadest facades dematerialize into reflec-tions of water or sky. A global gateway, the tower represents Taiwans cultural progress, innovation, and modern commerce.

RANCHO JOS IGNACIO

This commission is situated in Jos Ignacio, a small seaside village north of Punta del Este. Uruguay represents a world at one with the water with vast beaches, lagoons and lush green landscape. The client is a business executive who has been visit-ing this village for many years. This project is to design a pri-vate ranch for business or families family holidays. Sited within an expansive 15 hectare setting, the ranchos orientation rotates 30 west toward ideal sightlines to the Atlantic. Set upon a pla-teau, 7 buildings integrated with the surrounding horizons are approached by a processional on axis with the sea.

Taking inspiration from Le Corbusiers masterwork Ronchamp, punctuated thick masonry walls amplify light and sound. Each of Rancho Jos Iganacios site elements is designed to integrate with the natural topography and enhance the landscape. Build-ings are organized in public and private zones adjacent to shaded outdoor living spaces. A viewing platform above the court enables guests to take in the Uruguayan night sky.

PIRAEUS ANTIQUITIES MUSEUM

The new Antiquities Museum of Piraeus is conceived through a spatial inversion, this industrial typology is reinvented as a cul-tural destination. Our interest lies not only in the complex pro-gram of the museum, but in the sites unexploited urban potential as a civic link. Transformed into an iconic, world class museum, the buildings openness activates the Cultural Coast District. A system of void spaces introduces a spatial configuration that brings daylight to public areas whilst engaging the surrounding urban context. Selective erasure ensures that treasured qualities of the concrete silo structure will be retained and adapted into the new use. At moments of subtraction, the cartesian grid of the silo building translates into a new contoured geometry express-ing the old in a new way.

Interacting with its surroundings, the new museum opens up to the eastern plaza and pedestrian pathway. As an addition to the other buildings in the district, an essential component of the design involved creating a robust public space at the top of the museumvisually connecting the Cultural Coast to Piraeus and Athens at large. The roof is activated by a reflecting pool sus-pended above the eastern entrance. Seawater from the pool dou-bles as a passive cooling element as its circulated within towers integrated into the original grain silo structure.

The museums exhibitions are combined in a continuous loop which spirals from the lobby to the upper level public space. This organization provides many possibilities for different exhibition spaces and techniques. interior/ exterior, covered/ open, dark/ light, intimate/ public. The large public voids enable antiquities to be viewed from differing vantage points stimulating visitor inter-action. The museum program is concentrated in three program blocks: exhibitions, curation and administration. The programs are linked by three interconnected atriums which shape the mu-seums public space whilst opening the building to its surround-ings. Monumental vertical circulation is integrated into the exist-ing structural grid along the east elevation. Multiple circulation cores provide shortcuts for visitors to jump off the linear exhibi-tion narrative to direct points of interest.

CAGLIARI ART MUSEUM

Set upon a panoramic plateau in the ancient district of Sardinias capital city will soon sit the Cagliari Galerie Comunale DArts new extension. Our concept formulates a network of separate but in-terconnected clusters that unfold, open and invite museum vis-itors inside. Single-height exhibition spaces are anchored by four clusters, each with an adjoining sculpture garden. Gallery vol-umes and arrangements were inspired by seminal works within the museums permanent collection, including ancient bronze and marble statues and works by the late Renaissance painter Pietro Cavaro. The museum extension is designed to complete the cultural complex while preserving centenary trees and visu-ally opening to the ancient fortified wall and city beyond. Simple, primitive forms and local materials reflect a Sardinian sensibility, while the gesture of breaking up the new museum into discreet volumes transforms the simple cluster of galleries into an archi-tecture that is at once contextual and abstract.

A very direct organizational logic yields a form that works ef-fectively for both internal and external spaces. Planned within a cartesian grid, all museum program with exception of galler-ies is efficiently organized on axis with the historic 18th Century Beaux Arts museum. By rotating the galleries 20 degrees to true north, optimum solar orientation enables naturally illuminated exhibition spaces with northern light. The combination of spatial diffusion and gallery rotation also afford exceptional views from all spaces of the museum creating a sense of transparency and connection to the remarkable Cagliari landscape and Mediterra-nean Sea.

Just as interior and exterior spaces interpenetrate, so do two types of forms: the orthogonal-polygonal, as perceived from the exterior, and the organic, which produces a series of spatial sur-prises or follies. Occurring at passage points of incongruency between rotated galleries and the rest of the museum, the follies create connections. Where the exterior building envelope is heavy and rough, composed of locally-formed, sand-cast concrete the folly materiality is soft, transparent and irrational. With an almost labyrinthine character, visitors traverse the museum through a grand circulation loop of intervening spaces, ultimately return-ing to their starting point. Short cuts through outdoor sculpture galleries create a multitude of alternate paths. Exterior and inte-rior spaces overlap to provide the best environment possible for each function, and optimal climatic performance. The design of roof forms and oculus were developed with a parametric model whereby environmental analysis of daylighting, shading and inso-lence informed design decisions.

Rotating the galleries by 20 degrees for optimum solar orientation enables desirable Northern light to naturally illuminate exhibition spaces.


Enhancing visitor experience, three small gallery types provide a variety of intimate viewing spaces that compliment the museums permanent collection of small and medium sized artworks.

Spatial diffusion and gallery rotation create 5 interior voids within the museum that we have planned as sculpture gardens. Each garden is designed with a different theme such as water, terrain, flowers and texture.

Diffusione spaziale e la rotazione gallery offrono una vista eccezionale di tutti gli spazi del museo, creando un senso di trasparenza e di collegamento con il paesaggio straordinario Cagliari.

Two landscaped plazas featuring sculpture provide entry points to the museum extension. Primary access from the main museum is through a folly passage along the south elevation. A north entry plaza with adjacent car park provides convenient direct access.


Compact and efficient layout reduces access to daylight and views. The unified plan does not easily connect with the existing museum or ancient site.


Diffuse organization retains compactness and efficiency while maximizing daylight and views. The plans openness connects with the existing museum and ancient site.

M HOUSE

This residential commission is situated in a canyon near the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory where there already exists a contemporary architectural context. The project emerged from the idea of making a suspended house that floats over the canyon, thus taking advantage of the Los Angeles skyline and generating many par-tially covered terraces for outdoor living. The dwelling is organized into two levels. The public areas, such as the gallery, living room, dining room, and kitchen, are on the lower level; the upper level includes three bedrooms and a semi-public leisure area adjacent to the pool which is naturally screened by topography. The hovering 60 long building is supported by a podium built of local stone predominate in nearby fortifications.

PAR celebrated the groundbreaking for this private house on August 13, 2012. Terraced into the canyon, the house is currently under construction and will top out Summer 2013.

LEMESOS MUSEUM

CB

A

In 2012, the City of Lemesos held a competition for architects to propose designs for the Lemesos Museum of Art in the shorline district. One of the competitions aims was to contribute to the consolidation of a cultural center composed of iconic architec-tural and programmatic attractants, projecting a singular and contemporary identity on behalf of the city.

Our proposal integrates and reveals the complex layers of history and urbanism that weave through this site, where the Lemesos Museum of Art will be situated for years to come. Acknowledg-ing these complexities, the strategy was to adopt the existing, diagonal circulation axis which generated a binary museum or-ganization of permanent and temporary collections. Interstitial perimeter zones create a buffer between institution and city while enabling impromptu events and large scale installations a visibil-ity beyond the walls of the museum.

We were interested in offering an architectural vision where the paradox and conflicts between building and city, diversity and simplicity, individual and populace erode. As Lemesos seeks to reinvent its cultural center, this building capitalizes on the seduc-tion and impact of the singular image while sustaining that effect through the attenuation of complex informational, structural, and atmospheric systems.
