Success does not necessarily define one as a good architect…

Lectori Salutem: the competition seems to be fraud… if you read dutch, take a look at one of the two biggest architecture-sites in the Netherlands, it shows three procedural problems: http://www.archined.nl/nieuws/november/archisoap-aanbestedingsleed-nieuwe-serie-vier-architecten-vechten-beoordeling-stadskantoor-rotterdam-aan/

I’m happy for this as well. OMA’s diagrams work and help them win projects because they communicate: I think that the diagram helps in the essentialization of a given brief, a recalibration based on a clarification of ideals, and ultimately a result that, while seemingly ‘undercooked’ compared to the popular alternative practice of naturalized rendering sophistry, creates a real alternative based on a shift in the way we think of the architecture from the ground up. The simplicity of the diagram is deceiving – it is NOT the architecture (go back and reread koolhaas, he isn’t confused which is which). The truss is just the means by which the project liberates the groundplane from the usual clutter of mechanical rooms and elevator lobbies. The best part of the whole project, perhaps, is the fact that it chops the block in two, effectively shortening the block and setting up that Jacobs idea of cross-mingling.
It will be interesting to watch this project as it tries to achieve the elegant simplicity of the diagram in the completed project (and create the public space it suggests).

definately… this direct diagram to form issue has become a real methodology problem.

the diagrams are good… we like them…

but architecture is not just diagrams.

I agree to above comment that it is more like a diagram than articulated building. I am sure they can make more like a building in next stage of design development.

Does anyone knows how this warm air, cool air concept works for climate regulation? sounds interesting though.

“……the building has a climate regulated by warm air stored in summer and released in winter, and vice versa,…….”

[...] They claim it will be the most energy efficient building in Rotterdam, thanks to its translucent insulation, and a climate control system which is regulated by “warm air stored in summer and released in winter, and vice versa.” I don’t know how that could possibly work, so I’m going to nod repeatedly, as if I knew what the hell they are talking about, and just concentrate on how beautiful it looks.

Ted, people have to stand up.
In Milan we put up a fight and we changed the plans for the former “Fiera” area.
SeARCH project was way better than this terrible, sad thing.

The people from Rotterdam voted for the project of SeARCH, OMA ended up as #4 out of 5… What’s the meaning of voting whitout influence?
