Platform-L当代艺术中心位于韩国首尔江南区的住宅区。场地是一块不规则的梯形,三面被街道包围,这是一个独特的设计挑战。建筑法则对拟建地块的建筑比例限制为不超过总面积的60%,这是设计项目的一个关键重点。这一限制通常导致大多数项目将停车场指定在地面上,并以大块面覆盖其余的场地。项目将停车场设在地下,允许在地面上留出空隙。
Platform-L Contemporary Art Center is located in a residential area of the Gangnam district in Seoul, South Korea. The sites irregular geometry - an irregular trapezoid - and being surrounded on three sides by street presented was a unique design challenge. The Laws of Architecture on the proposed site limiting building ratio to be no more than 60% of the total site area was a key focus to the design of Platform-L. This restriction typically leads to most projects designating parking to be on grade with a large mass covering the rest of the site. Platform-L situating the parking to be underground allows for a voided space on grade.
事实证明,两个独立的体量与一个向西开放的中央庭院的设计是对空间的最有效利用。北端的体量包括博物馆入口、两个展览空间、VIP休息室,以及一个屋顶露台。在场地的南端,有一个咖啡馆/餐厅和办公空间。外立面的设计灵感来自于Louis Quatorze时装设计公司,这家公司是Platform-L的赞助商,其意识形态以路易十四为基础。路易十四的基本几何图形的使用被重新诠释,成为Platform-L的外立面设计。这个设计是该公司的新象征,也是其对时尚和文化的高度重视。
The design of two independent masses with a central courtyard opening to the west proved to be the most efficient use of space. The north end mass is comprised of the museums entrance, two exhibition spaces, VIP lounge, as well as featuring a roof terrace looking out towards the cityscape. On the south end of the site a cafe / restaurant and office spaces are located. The exterior façade design inspiration came from Louis Quatorze fashion design company. This company is the sponsor for Platform-L and ideology is based on Louis XIV. The use of basic geometries of Louis XIV was reinterpreted to become the design for the façade of Platform-L. This design stands as a new symbol for the company and its high regard for fashion and culture.
场地
首尔Platform-L当代艺术中心位于江南区Nonhyeon-dong街区的Segwan首尔海关十字路口附近的一个僻静区域。其独特的形状不规则的梯形需要利用创新的设计元素来应对其非常规尺寸带来的独特挑战。虽然江南的城市规划通常遵循网格系统,但Platform-L三面临街,这是该地块的显著特征,也是其众多资产之一。该地块也被划入普通住宅区而非商业区,因此在建筑覆盖率和容积率方面受到更多限制。考虑到这些因素,我们优先考虑为该建筑设计一个更紧凑的规划。
SITE
Platform-L Contemporary Art Center in Seoul is situated in a secluded area near the Segwan Seoul Customs intersection in the Nonhyeon-dong neighborhood of Gangnam District. Its uniquely shaped footprint—an irregular trapezoid—necessitated utilizing innovative design elements in response to the unique challenges presented by its unconventional dimensions. Although urban planning in Gangnam generally adheres to a grid system, Platform-L enjoys street access on three sides, a distinguishing feature of the site and one of its many assets. The site is also classified within a general residential zone rather than a commercial zone, subjecting it to increased restrictions concerning building coverage rate and floor area ratio. With these considerations in mind, a more compact plan for the building was prioritized.
设计概念
路易十四在位期间,在著名的凡尔赛宫花园的几何规划中,圆形、方形和八角形被广泛使用。这些符号分别代表了天、地和国王的权威。项目的外立面重新诠释了历史上绝对权威的概念,特别是考虑到场地的非常规规划和周围三面的道路。这一概念的应用是将八角形转化为加宽的格子,突出了建筑的水平性,并意味着向地平线的无限扩张。 这种几何学在当地文化背景下的挪用是通过使用榫头连接来实现的,这种做法在韩国传统窗户中是很常见的。总共有三个独立的百叶窗被安装在一起,形成了项目的交叉视线格子,并创造了建筑引人注目的外观。
PATTERN
This geometry implies Louis XIV’s wishes to be recognized as an absolute royal entity rather than a mediator between god and man. The circle, square and octagon were utilized extensively in the geometric plan of the famed Gardens of Versailles executed during Louis XIV’s reign. These symbols served as physical embodiments of heaven, earth and the authority of the king, respectively. The exterior façade of Platform-L reinterprets the historical notion of absolute authority, particularly with regard to the site’s unconventional plan and its surrounding roads on three sides. The application of this concept is the transformation of the octagon into widened lattices which highlight the building’s horizontality and imply infinite expansion toward the horizon. The appropriation of this geometry within the context of local culture is realized through the use of tenon joints to bind materials, a practice typically seen in traditional Korean windows. In total, three separate louvers were fitted together to form Platform-L’s lattice of intersecting sight lines and create building’s striking exterior.
庭院
该项目最重要的目标之一是在整个项目中保留户外空间感;这一概念指导着设计的制定,它以一种意想不到的方式解决了韩国的建筑规定。站台-L通过将户外作为一个中介空间和平台来实现这一目标,以延伸和连接建筑的各种功能,包括画廊的节目和现场大厅的活动,以及艺术商店和咖啡馆的游客体验。建筑中心的庭院形式的空旷空间,在视觉上类似于西方的庭院,但从功能的角度来看,它更像韩国传统的庭院--即作为缓冲区和休息场所。这个空间在项目的整体设计中扮演着重要的角色,它连接了建筑的两个独立翼,并提供了一个共享的自由空间。
COURTYARD
One of the foremost aims of the project was that it retain a sense of outdoor space throughout; this concept guided the formulation of a design which addresses Korean construction regulations in an unexpected way. Platform-L achieves this by interpreting the outdoors as a mediating space and platform serving to extend and link the various functions of the building, including programs in the galleries and events in the Live Hall as well as visitor experiences in the art shop and cafe. A void space in the form of a courtyard set in the center of the building visually resembles a Western courtyard, though from a functional standpoint it operates more like a traditional Korean courtyard—namely, as a buffer zone and resting place. This space performs a key role in the overall design of Platform-L, connecting the building’s two separate wings and providing a shared free space.
LIVE大厅
LIVE大厅是一个地下多功能场地,可以容纳更多观众的各种节目。在项目的设计中,为了克服面积比例的限制,尽可能有效地利用所有可用的空间,利用地下楼层是必不可少的。这个宽敞的环境具有8米高的天花板,并配备了完整的功能以及可重新配置的座位,这增加了其多功能性,以促进各种表演和活动。它的内部也完成了一个白色的立方体空间,以提供额外的画廊空间的需要,以补充建筑物的楼上画廊。移动墙系统进一步增强了空间的兼容性,使其可以配置为箱式剧场、电影院或礼堂。其可移动的座位和可调节的舞台结构也为时装秀、婚礼和其他仪式等活动提供了额外的机会。
LIVE HALL
The Live Hall is an underground multipurpose venue which can accommodate diverse programming for larger audiences. Utilizing basement levels in the design of Platform-L was essential in order to overcome floor area ratio limitations and make use of all available space as efficiently as possible. This spacious setting features eight-meter ceilings and is equipped with full A/V capabilities as well as reconfigurable seating which increases its versatility in facilitating various performances and events. Its interior is also finished as a white cube space in order to offer additional gallery space as needed to complement the building’s upstairs galleries. A moving wall system further enhances the space's compatibility and allows it to be configured as a box theater, cinema or auditorium. Its removable seating and adjustable stage structure also provide additional opportunities for events such as fashion shows, weddings and other ceremonies.
