Is it just me or is second place often better than first in these competitions?
It’s just you ! ;)
The graphics and plans of the SANAA-like second prize is attractive, but this shape creates many residual outdoor spaces (should I say dark corners) that are nearly unusable.
The boldness of the setting contrasts with the lightness of the drawings and of the intended inner spaces…
i thought they were SANAA like…
so is SANAA-like the new OMA-like? Could be worse…
Whoops I meant that there are worse things than being SANAA-like, not that being SANAA-like is worse then being OMA-like. That’s a debate for another post.
What’s with all the weird looking figures in the first and second prize winner’s vignettes?
Weird looking figures? Don´t be offensive. That´s how people in Maribor look like ;)
the one with the sloping ramps looks exactly like the library competition entry by jaja architects
I like that project, Jaja’s. Which is more than I can say for their recent Oslo competition scheme.
The winer is individual. It is not a good idea copy any examples, even SANAA… Good piece of architecture only show the way, and should not break one self creativity.
what’s up with that batmobile like black building? the only thing it lacks is batman’s logo in the nightsky above it
It seems like the second place one is the only one with a realistic service level. I know this is a very boring comment! Im sorry! Im on a museum project right now and it has been weeks of secure loading dock this and art uncrating that. Just venting.
You are right Jaay. The second scheeme looks like the only one that really works. It’s true that it has a kind of serious impression, for me it’s more alto-like than sanaa-like. But it is realy cleverly organised…
second place is the winner – good interaction of two clearly presented concepts: the formal one (extroverted courtyard) and the programmatic (exhibition/production). it doesn’t matter if it’s sanaa-like or alto-like. what matters is the relevant scheme, based on the specific site and program conditions.
the residual exterior spaces are not unusable – they are mostly entrance spaces and there are no ‘dark corners’ – it’s all curved glass curtain wall.
Family architects are the winners! The guys in Maribor should think about using this scheme… for their own good!
Like the way that the entry named BRUTHER used the initials of the architects in the name – Stephanie BRU, Alexandre THERiot…
Anonymous competition?… Anyway, Stan Allen should have been here on the list somewhere…
There definitely is a little of OMA and SANAA in the images… but its not the world couldn’t do without a little more SANNA and OMA! With a world class piece of architecture in Slovenia along with lake Bled, it’ll be home to the worlds most brilliant man made and natural beauty!
