30.05.2010 – The Loft Home. Gapyong, South Korea

The Gapyong project has been started in order to offer an exemplary model for new housing developments. While maintaing the density of a typical Korean housing block, the units have been inverted and turned from a vertical to a horizontal multiplication model, resulting in a row housing type.

Three international and two Korean offices have been invited to design one row of houses in the hilly landscape of the Gapyong site. Marina Stankovic Architekten BDA  is – together with Young Joon Kim (YO2 Architects), Alejandro Zaera (FOA), NL Architects, Kazuhiro Kojima and Yoon Gyoo Jang (UnSangDong Architects)- one of the architects for this model development. The urban design has been developed by YO2 Architects.

The design process is well under way, starting construction end of 2010.

Masterplan (Design: Yo2 Architecture and Urbanism)

15.05.2010 – Prof. Marina Stankovic was appointed part of the ANCB Board of Directors.

The Aedes Network Campus Berlin, ANCB, is a unique “Metropolitan Laboratory” focussing on the future of our cities. After three decades of exhibiting, publishing and convening some of the world’s most internationally acclaimed and pioneering architects, Aedes opened their doors to researchers and students from all around the world.

Since its inception, Aedes have attracted regular contributions from international practices and universities, building a strong and ever growing global network. It is from these foundations that ANCB positions itself as the hub at the centre of an extensive international research network, based on a structure of cultural exchange and knowledge transfer. Partnering with some of the most highly regarded institutions and universities worldwide, ANCB provides a trans-disciplinary laboratory environment in which the likes of architects, planners, economists, philosophers, scientists, artistis, engineers and ecologists come together to tackle the key issues facing our globalised urban environments.

Conducted by Dr. h.c. Krisitin Feireiss and Hans-Jürgen Commerell, ANCB forges many long-standing relationships with gifted and motivated individuals worldwide, who advise on the detailed development of the ANCB programmes and on all aspects of the Campus’ future.

20.12.2009 – Stankovic Architects Berlin participates in the International Competition “Development of an architectural concept for the International Business Centre with an Intercontinental Hotel in the City of Yerevan, Armenia”

Localisation in City
The site is located on the north east perimeter of the urbanisation of the city of Yerevan, outside of the green ring belt of the city which derivates from the Tamanyan Main Plan from 1925.
The city grid encircled by a strong and formal geometry,  incorporated edge conditions of hilly sites of difficult geological formation that did not lend to an easy urbanisation of these sites. Such sites had special forms of inhabitation: military, shanty town etc and experience development in recent years.

The specific site context : In the extension of Teryan Street and Aboyan Street we can trace the location of the new development for the International Business Centre (IBC), which represents a unique opportunity within the plan of the city. It is a strategic site which lends itself in an exemplary way for the establishment of a contemporary IBC, with a unique scenic view over the city of Yerevan and Mount Ararat beyond.

General Composition Principles :  In order to integrate the IBC into Yerevan´s urban landscape we need to consider the balance of both building mass and open space, while adapting the overall design to the topography of the site. A challenging urban design and a prominent architecture will contribute to the creation of a new identity for the site. A band of buildings wraps around the site in order to create an outer ring to create a sense of enclosure, as well as a creation of a central public space that offers views down to the city and to the south, -to the skyline of Yerevan and Mount Ararat-.

Our entry to the competition was honoured with a mention.

We spent an extended weekend in Seoul on our trip to South Korea in September, in connection with the Jeju Delphic Games, to see friends and projects!

Together with the Masters exchange students from the Seoul City University we had the opportunity to revisit our building, the Nam June Paik Arts Center, which had opened in October 2008.

It was great to meet Tobias Berger, the German curator on board, and see the building filled up to the roof with art work! Even though the interior intervention of the exhibition – which is not to be attributed to us – was somewhat of an impromptu intervention preceding the opening , the museum seems to work and organizes bazaar like ongoing exciting events.

Meandering through the actual interior of the building we could still relive traces of our architectural vision. The robustness of our scheme and its shell was even more convincing in reality than on paper. The question is how the open plan will incite the curators to experiment with the upcoming exhibitions in the next years. We are eager to see what happens in the future at NJP Art Center.

The students were extremely interested to find out about the experience of the global practice and the “trans-cultural” exchange in which we engaged for almost 4 years while designing the building and travelling between Berlin and Seoul. After the visit followed an engaged discussion among students, architects and curators. Our friend, Prof. Pai Hyungmin, was an excellent moderator in the discussion.

Trivia Question:

Look at the façade at the rear and see if you can find the directors office in the building…

16.09.2009 – Stankovic Architects Berlin participates at the III Delphic Games in Jeju City, Korea

The third modern times Delphic Games took place on the scenic South Korean island of Jeju in September this year. This peace-minded twin event of the Olympic Games has always been dedicated to the Fine Arts and looks back to a thousand-year history in antiquity. Forgotten over many centuries, the Delphic Games were revived in 1996 by the International Delphic Council (IDC) founded in Berlin. Supported by UNESCO, the Delphic Games bring together artists and intellectuals who, under a specific motto, develop concrete  projects in their specific disciplines. This brings about intense cultural exchange. The results in six artistic categories are judged by an international jury that also appoints the winners.

This year’s Delphic Games conveyed a message of peace, international understanding and harmony to still-divided Korea, possibly paying a contribution to the reunification of the country. The Games were a marketplace of opportunity, inspiration and stimulation at the same time.
Under the motto “Tuning into Nature”, the invited architects and landscape architects were given the task to design an architectural promenade through Jeju´s landscape. In order to present the landscape of wooded volcanic hills and make it more touristically appealing, a system of “Paths and Points” was to be created.

Intended for both locals and visitors the promenade would offer highly esthetical man made elements to engage and view this particular landscape in this part of Jeju island.
For their assigned area, Stankovic Architects developed a “Catwalk for an Open Air Seed and Grass Exhibition “ project. It allows visitors to stroll across and view typical local vegetation and examples of local farming technologies embedded in their natural habitat. Together with the organic shapes of the planted areas, reminiscent of traditional small fields, and the viewing pavilion, a system of partly roofed paths forms a molecular structure. The shape of the ribbon-like paths can be rediscovered in the pavilion where they seem to form the exterior of the building. The wrapping of the line is directed to offer views onto specific spots in the landscape and volcanoes.

The invited offices to the Gasiri Project included Riegler Riewe (Austria), NL-Architects (Holland), Stankovic Architekten (Germany), IAN+ (Italy), Esteban Penelas (Spain), Jeffrey Inaba (USA), Julia Czerniak (USA), C+A Kojima (Japan), Kim Seung-hoy (S. Korea) and Kim Young-Kyu (S. Korea).

The jury was composed by  Alejandro Zaera Polo (UK), Hyeon Shik Min (S. Korea) and Hchioh Sang Seung (S. Korea). Two projects, those of C+A Kojima (Japan) and Kim Young-Kyu (S. Korea), were awarded with the Delphic Medal.

All projects will be realized in 2010.
