Synopsis:
Frank Barkow and Regine Leibinger developed an unusual strategy for an office building in Seoul. Since the designs for the neighboring plots were unknown, the Berlin-based architects gave their building the ability to kaleidoscopically reflect its subsequent surroundings in a folded facade. This book documents the process of designing and constructing the building, which was finished in 2007, and monitors the emergence of a versatile face in the midst of facelessness.

Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Barkow, Amy - Photography (illustrator). First Ediiton. 128 Pages. No defects noted, Includes the orriginal CD Reflect Observed - A Movie by Corinne Ross Interior text and photographs are flawless. Dual language book German and English. For over a century the high-rise office block has been one of the most widespread architectural typologies in the world. Because of standardized requirements for flexibility in the ground plan, there is generally very little design latitude in the interior, and as a rule it is typically only the facade that remains available for any architectonic individualization. Since the development of the curtain wall in the mid-twentieth century, the glass facade has become such a global standard that an average office block in Sydney can now scarcely be distinguished from one in New York, Beijing, or Moscow. An extremely interesting design alternative has now been developed by Barkow Leibinger for their Trutec Building in Seoul. The sculptural approach to the facade means that this building has a surface which makes it stand apart from its surroundings, yet at the same time brings it into a close visual relationship with the buildings adjacent to it. The facade sits between complete artistic free play and standardized seriality, and draws its aesthetic strength from this tension. The outcome is the fortunate result of what was initially a problematic situation: by intentionally assimilating the surrounding buildings onto the facade of the Trutec Building through reflection and optical fragmentation, the designers could react while still now knowing what the emerging surroundings would ultimately offer. The idea of fitting two elevator cabs in one shaft has been exercising engineers' minds for decades. It was the development of the Twin system by ThyssenKrupp Elevator that allows for a higher transportation performance. Includes Essays by Ilhyun Kim, Brett Steele, and Anthony Vidler. Five Chapters: Glass Culture in the Work of Barkow Leibinger, The Trutec Building of Sangam Digital Media City, Site Unseen, Barkow Leibinger in Conversation with Barry Bergdoll and Andres Lepik, Surface versus Depth, and Twin Elevators Transporting Peiople in the Buildings of the Future. Plus Foreword and Biographies. Illustrated throughout with Color POhotography and Drawings on most pages. Seller Inventory # 14834

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - Kann man ein Haus ohne Kontext entwerfen Wie reagiert man als Architekt auf etwas, das es noch gar nicht gibt Für ein Bürohaus in der »Digital Media City«, einem auf dem Reißbrett geplanten neuen Stadtteil von Seoul, entwickelten Frank Barkow und Regine Leibinger eine ungewohnte Strategie. Der methodische Umgang mit Themen wie »Ort« oder »Geschichte« spielte keine Rolle, die Entwürfe für die Nachbarparzellen waren unbekannt. Also statteten die Berliner Architekten ihr Gebäude mit der Fähigkeit aus, die Umgebung wie immer sie am Ende aussehen mag in einer räumlich gefalteten Fassade kaleidoskopisch zu reflektieren.Das Buch dokumentiert den Entwurfs- und Bauprozess des Ende 2006 fertig gestellten Gebäudes. Texte, Fotos und Video-Stills kommentieren die Erscheinung eines wandlungsfähigen Gesichts inmitten von Gesichtslosigkeit. Is it possible to design a building without a context How can an architect react to something that does not yet exist For an office building in Digital Media City, a new section of Seoul that is still on the drawing board, Berlin-based architects Frank Barkow and Regine Leibinger developed an unusual strategy. The methodic treatment of themes such as place or history did not come into play at all, and the designs for the neighboring parcels of land were unknown. The architects gave their building the ability to kaleidoscopically reflect its future surroundings in a folded façade. This book documents the process of designing and constructing the building, which was completed in early 2007. Texts, photographs, and video stills provide commentary on the emergence of a versatile face in the midst of facelessness. With Reflect Observed, a DVD-video by Corinne Rose.
