SCULPTING THE PIONEERS OF ARCHITECTUREA tribute to the Masters

Archdais Network Pvt. Ltd.

18th Nov - 28th feb

introductionSculpting the pioneers is an international architectural competition that gives one the opportunity to reflect on the design philosophy of the chosen architect. Globally acclaimed architects with variety in style and cultural background have been selected to give broader perspective to this competition. It is a tribute, a token of appreciation to express our gratitude for the work that has been contributed by these architects. Architecture is a primal necessity that has been pin pointed several years ago but enhanced today due to the amount of work and dedication put forth by architects globally.

Not to emphasize on one style or region, five architects have been chosen from around the world that convey of how the built form functions and adapts to various settings and people. Participants will be given a choice to select one of the five pioneers mentioned herewith.

AIMThe aim is to design a sculpture that acts as a symbolic representation of the Architect's work.

The sculpture shall target aspects of design as referred and developed by the chosen architect.

It shall be made accessible to the end users, explore stimuli, and various possibilities to be physically experienced by the end users.

sculpture: the art of making three-dimensional representative or abstract forms.

symbolic representation: the depiction of someone or something in a work of art.

physical: relating to things perceived through the physical senses; tangible or concrete.

experience: feel (an emotion or sensation).


CHALLENGE

Creation of an iconic ACCESSIBLE sculpture in terms of architectural expression:The accessible sculpture should evidently define the Architect's style. It should be the amalgamation of the Architect's lifelong work and design philosophy encased in one built form. As a sculpture, it should engage strong aesthetic characteristics and visual connections. It should portray use of intelligent and metaphorical design elements in form of architectural expressions.

Depict the journey of the Architect:The sculpture should not be a final outlook of a devised design philosophy, but the evolution of it from the beginning. It should display all parameters, thought processes, work experience, contextual short sightings and cultural references taken by the Architect in the design.

Carve out accessible spaces within the sculpture:Along with the sculptural aesthetics, the design should incorporate accessible areas within the sculpture. These spaces shall explicitly define the spatial quality, architectural elements and responsive design techniques as developed by the Architect. It should emphasize on the experience of the end user.

Emboss 'To one and all' by achieving universal design strategies:The carved out spaces shall be open to all people, young and old, able and disabled. It should incorporate techniques that support disability with barrier-free concepts and social integration. The applications need to be in a form where they naturally blend with the sculptural quality and aesthetics.


CHALLENGE

Open-ended functional asset:The participants can further explore the design by defining the function of spaces with their own preference with regards to concept/Architect. Functions such as reading hall/ exhibition/ walkway/ open plaza or any other can be imparted in the design. The area requirements can be viewed under 'Design Guidelines'.

DESIGN GUIDELINES:Site area - 3,500 sq.m.

Max. Ground Coverage - 400 sq.m. (Ground coverage could be in one piece or distributed across the site in any shapes and pieces.)

Le Corbusier

Space and light and order.

Those are the things that

men need just as much as

they need bread or a place

to sleep.

Le Corbusierparis

SITE AREA : 3500 sq.m.48°51'20.3"N 2°17'54.6"E


The pioneer of modern architecture, Le Corbusier s̓ early works took place in the city of Paris. Being a proclaimed designer and painter, his contributions to the city of artisans hardly goes unnoticed. Le Corbusier's early marvels in the city lead to the event, which gave Art Deco its name.

zaha hadid

You don't always have to

show art in what’s called

a White Box. You can have

a kind of complexity within

an exhibit which actually

respects the art as well.

Zaha HadidLONDON

SITE AREA : 3500 sq.m.51°30'14.3"N 0°07'06.2"W


In the aftermath of her study in London's Architectural Association, Zaha'sinnovative and eye catching structures marked their way through the richness and fabric of the city. London being a global nexus for alternativeculture, it proved itself to be a rightful prospect for the display of her enigmatic potential.

CHARLES CORREA

Certainly architecture is

concerned with much more

than just its physical

attributes. It is a many-

layered thing. Beneath and

beyond the strata of

function and structure,

materials and texture,

lie the deepest and most

compulsive layers of all.

Charles CorreaMUMBAI

SITE AREA : 3500 sq.m.19°01'33.7"N 73°00'36.0"E


Mumbai is India's pulse point of rapid growth. It is Mumbai that witnessed numerous marvels of Correa's work. It houses the film industry and its artists, to which Charles Correa shared another deep bond with. Navi Mumbai was Charles Correa's dream. He described cities as 'places of hope' and spent his last days on his master plan for Navi Mumbai.

TADAO ANDO

People tend not to use this

word beauty because it's

not intellectual -

but there has to be an

overlap between beauty

and intellect.

Tadao Andoosaka

SITE AREA : 3500 sq.m.34°43'22.5"N 135°31'02.1"E


Strongly embedded in religion and philosophy, Tadao's place of dwelling Osaka encouraged him to pursue and adapt to his style of architecture and design. Osaka is regarded as a city built not by the government, but by the people. With such deeply rooted niches, Osaka is clearly a spectacle of Tadao's architectural life.

FRANK O GEHRY

Architecture should speak

of its time and place, but

yearn for timelessness.

Frank O Gehrynew york

SITE AREA : 3500 sq.m.40°42'06.1"N 73°59'50.2"W


The city of skyscrapers, New York, undoubtedly acted as a magnet for all modernist architects. Gehry's respect and love for New York's past is precisely why New Yorkers have come to love Gehry. His variety of work in New York is believed not to be broken from the past, but a new way of expressing continuity with it.
