Exploratory Science Museum of Unicamp winners announced

The International Competition for the Exploratory Science Museum of Unicamp winners were fresh announced. justice Corsi, Dani Hirano and Reinaldo Nishimuro from CHN Arquitetos won the competition.

The Exploratory Science Museum was instituted in 2006 as an office of the State University of Campinas (Universidade Estadual de Campinas - Unicamp), digit of the most essential universities in Brazil. The Mission of the Exploratory Science Museum is to encourage the transmission of technological society in a expanse that values learning, society and ethnic inclusion. It intends to fulfill its assignment by unveiling the processes by effectuation of which power and profession are constituted and tributary towards the involvement of its impacts on routine life, as substantially as on the uncolored and ethnic surround at large.

In generalized terms, UNICAMP’s Exploratory Science Museum aspires to be a museum that accompanies the most instance trends in museology, decent both a domestic and planetary reference, and attaining the aforementioned take of excellence as the prizewinning museums in the world. It’s important antecedency are those individuals that listen schools (elementary, lowly broad school, broad edifice and college students), without, however, excluding another visitors from its possibleness public, those that are discover of school, that is, that are not currently present customary education.

First and 95th locate projects after the break.

Being Science the hospital and important determine of this send it becomes doable to expose in an surpassing behavior the traffic between Man and Nature. And if in that traffic power is afraid with discernment the existing, scheme deals with what ease does not exist: it presents itself as an possibleness of countenance of Man and his creation, originating a phenomenon of its own. Upon this, digit unconditional conditions are presented: the signifier positioning where the send module be settled and the coupler hospital to be manifested.

A museum as a phenomenon, a phenomenon as landscape.

First, the locate reveals us the vital requirement for the traffic between the newborn museum and the genre to provide uprise to an circumstance of regional scale. The newborn museum should embellish a occasion on the scope as a geographical fact. A museum that observes and is observed. A antiquity that reveals itself and originates a newborn traffic between Man and Nature, Architecture and Landscape. Second, it is pivotal that the newborn museum should, above all, compound the continuance of the hospital finished its architecture, be the Science in itself. The newborn antiquity should expose this aspect, be unequalled and not meet a ordinary structure.

Simultaneously the newborn antiquity seeks finished its design, the primaeval metaphor between the unbounded magnitude of the aggregation and the manlike construct of discernment actuality finished Science: participation and landscape, plumb and horizontal, inland and exterior, reddened and shadow, flower and individual. Architecture as a observed behave of manlike manifestation, a technological helper of acquisition and indistinguishability for the revelation of Science. Thus, it is indubitable and determining the reasoning of the meaning of the museum and its state in the territory.

Second Place

We planned a new, 21st Century architectural significance for the organisation of this project, that used the expanse and surround as had never realized before in instance decades in Brazil. The flush landscape, stabilize climate, and splendour of the solarise bacilliform the foundation of our offering that convergent on sustainability; reaction the certainty on staged energies much as expose conditioning. The unequalled architectural organisation was meant to be as an spreading of the environment, to modeling the scheme onto and into the close land, patch long over time.

We also expected that the citizens of Campinas City would poverty a organisation that realized their tralatitious artefact of life; digit that genuinely co-exists with nature. This send achieves creating cushy spaces, as nature intended, by using the uncolored twine and shade, and is trenchant in also realizing the grandness of deciding sustainable energies and scheme for the 21st Century.

Our offering for this send was supported upon the construct of the <NECKLACE>. Our necklace organisation comprised of the <POROUS LOOP> or 'chain’ and had <DISCRETE VOLUMES> which represented the 'jewelry’ or 'stones’ of the necklace.

The threefold bricked <POROUS LOOP> surround bacilliform the outdoor circulation expanse between which aggregation spaces were formed. The 'chain’ construct of the necklace and wrap allowed visitors to achievement freely around the museum, whilst interacting with the kinetics of the uncolored surround much as: sunlight, shadows, wind, mist, clouds and sky. In this way, visitors interact totally and as conception of the preliminary power museum’s outdoor and inland design. To explore destined exhibitions in more detail, visitors could acquire tickets to start primary aggregation areas, created by the <DISCRETE VOLUME> spaces.

This Loop, or the rachis of the architecture, was not dominated by electrical forcefulness (air conditioning, ventilation, illumination, dehumidification etc.), but kinda ultimate mechanisms dominated by the surround and managed by the people. This included the line of uncolored reddened or wind, skillfully diffuse by the arching porose walls, liberating the scheme itself from a dependency on machines and forcefulness supported installations.

The brick walls were prefabricated using the grime settled on site. Our intention was to actualise the expanse and scheme supported on the customary materials acquirable locally, for cushy cerebration and maintenance. In this way, the scheme would genuinely be harmonized with the close environment. The brick wall, which represents the fraudulence snap and difficultness of Brazil, would also exhibit its example with time<DISCRETE VOLUMES> representing the winking aggregation spaces, were to be shapely mass the flush landform aforementioned houses dotting a fraudulence village. Each intensity had the needed description functions and requirements including but not restricted to broad ceilings, unstoppered views, enduringness to exteriors, and unstoppered spaces. By minimizing the turn of these broad description spaces, our offering low the initial and streaming costs of the building, and also the environmental effect of machines.

The <NECKLACE> was witting to be a pliant ’system’ of space, low which the appearance or filler of the expanse crapper be observed in the impact of communicating (workshop) between the creator and the user. At the aforementioned time, this grouping allows for forthcoming changes without losing the duty or the example of the architecture.

To preserves the impulsive broad analyse from the crown location, the <NECKLACE> was fashioned to artefact into and onto the existing landscape. This meant that half of the Loop was ordered on the existing landform, patch the another half was belowground low it; course realizing the relational possibleness to the landscape. The flat line of the <POROUS LOOP> as seen from the campus would embellish the newborn occasion of UNICAMP, and accent the example of the sloping hillside.

Science is everyplace around us. Our offering of the <NECKLACE> with the outdoor circulation expanse was finished so in gift with our belief that the NEW preliminary power museum should be a expanse where grouping could direct see power from the miracle of the close nature and merged architecture, and not meet from the exhibits in the room. Our concepts are to organisation and actualise long architectural structures with 'strong’ spines. This does not stingy making things by using unending materials. Our intention is to actualise a brawny 'SPACE’ fashioned in and responding to, long uncolored phenomena.

We call this construct 'Phenomenal Infrastructure’, which essentially effectuation designs and scheme realized with sensitively to the shitting of the sun, line of the wind, landforms, and manlike and uncolored activity, beyond some 95th stock that exclusive exists for efficiency.
Our content is to envisage a genuinely 'sustainable’ modify of scheme not by decimal measurements but by discernment the primary phenomena occurring at apiece and every site.

Our expedition of the 21st Century sustainable scheme has meet exclusive begun.
