Intermodal Station Dome and Felipe VI Park / Ábalos + Sentkiewicz arquitectos

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 11:00:00 +0000

The Logroño Intermodal Station project is the result of international competition. The AS+ proposal sought to take advantage of the burying of the train as it passed through the city to sew a spatially segregated urban fabric, proposing a positive reading of the city and its natural support, beyond the program of a train and bus station.

New Bund District Church / Ábalos + Sentkiewicz arquitectos

Clara Ott — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000

The Church is located in the southern corner of the entrance to the new urban development of New Bund, located south of the Chinese metropolis of Shanghai. This unique location makes the project the natural gateway to the international residential area of the new district, as well as part of a linear park that runs along the Huangpu River, in accordance with urban planning. The proximity of the infrastructures of the subway to the west conditions the geometry of the plot and endows it with a marked longitudinal character.

Atelier Albert Oehlen / Abalos + Sentkiewicz + Enguita&Lasso de la Vega

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 05 May 2015 04:00:04 +0000

A small construction on a steeply sloping, almost permanently snow-covered site produces a white prismatic volume that is embedded into the ground on the north side and projects into the landscape to the south, housing an open-plan space as an artist’s studio and a semi-basement for storage. A large picture window connects the studio with the landscape outside, and two skylights provide overhead lighting.

Ábalos + Sentkiewicz Arquitectos Design Museum with Climate-Controlling Trees

Connor Walker — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Sited in the city of Zhuhai, China, this museum by Ábalos + Sentkiewicz Arquitectos seeks to combine the opposing ideas of a festive, airy aesthetic with the need for a protected and enclosed space to showcase artwork. To that end, they have created a structure that resembles a landscape with sculptural tree-like forms emerging from publicly accessible courtyards. These “trees”, while an important aspect of the building’s visual identity, also play a major role in the climate control of the museum.

Solar Tower / Ábalos+Sentkiewicz Arquitectos

Nico Saieh — Fri, 10 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Solar Tower in Sociópolis, Valencia, is born out of the same initial sketch-idea as the La Chapelle Tower, in an attempt to move social housing away from the anonymous recurrent iconographies, exploring the possibilities of a tower which dematerializes at its top multiplying exterior and interior spaces with their own identity. The use of a reflective materiality and geometry with a growing curvilinear matrix, allows playing with the reflections, leading the look to the crucial point of a tall building, a model widely experimented in the American city, for which the Giralda Tower often served as a reference.

High Speed Train Station in Logroño / Ábalos + Sentkiewicz arquitectos

Jonathan Alarcón — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:00:00 +0000

The railway station has been designed in accordance with the urban role assigned in the proposal for the international competition and the urban planning and landscape further developed. The station serves as a starting point of a new urban project, which re-establishes the connectivity between the North and South of the city and leads to a large public park where the roof is an integrated part giving its geometry and topography to the volume.

Fundació Antoni Tàpies / Ábalos + Sentkiewicz arquitectos

Nico Saieh — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The first goal of the renewal of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies was the necessity to adapt the building to new safety regulations and evacuation, in an overall improvement of the complex, opening up the historic building to the public with new exhibition, archive and educational areas, in order to concentrate administrative areas on a new three-storey pavilion located at the bottom of the plot and with an access to the courtyard of the block.

Orfila Housing, Store & Garage / Abalos + Sentkiewicz Arquitectos

Nico Saieh — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000

A building on the site of an old Palace’s adjacent stables, in the center of Madrid, gave us the opportunity to experiment with the overlap between the tradition of Madrid’s viewpoints and a shaded and permeable curtain wall, permitting us conjugate the traditional comfort of big linked rooms with the cleanliness of contemporary spaces and their indoor-outdoor fluency. At the same time the context, conditioned by the Palace and the existence of large trees, has led us to imagine this small building as a pavilion responding at the same time to all sensations in the context and none, apparently absorbed in its own spatial and material organization laws, but always trying to solve a more general and difficult problem, the “elegance” one, a sticky attribute from where is not always easy to get architecture.
