Pode-se gostar ou não, mas o que é certo é que são marcos da arquitectura e são um grande impulso para as economias locais...

O que acham desta política?

Wow... As imagens presentes no segundo link são 'assustadoras'. É como dizes, goste-se ou não, e julgo que isso também vai muito de encontro com a análise do projecto, é sempre um grande marco da arquitectura. Gosto especialmente daquela plataforma que se debruça sobre o 'abismo'.

É isso mesmo que referiste, fora questoes ideologicas / arquitectonicas, ou formas de fazer arquitectura... estes projectos revolucionam as cidades onde são projectados, um bom exemplo é Bilbao, onde o museu revolucionou quer a cidade, quer a forma de usufruir a "cidade"( Urban Live)...além de colocar Bilbao no mapa mundial...

eu concordo inteiramente com o que dizes, sem dúvida representam sempre marcos muito simbólicos que lembram de vez em quando as pessoas que a arquitectura continua a surpreender-nos e merece ser visitada por milhoes de turistas, não só os monumentos mais antigos.. aliás o Guadalajara apesar de assustar ao principio tem ao mesmo tempo uma introdução na paisagem extremamente bem conseguida! E o modo como a plataforma pairante contrasta com o verticalismo acentuado do edificio (mirante) está tão bem marcado.. e a formaa como contrasta com todo akele verde macisso não entrando em conflito com ele.. olha adorei essa porposta.. ainda bem que puseste aki no forum, porque desconhecia!

Parecem lojas da Macdonalds. É mais uma e mais uma e mais uma e mais uma e no final não paíseco que não tenha um Guggenhei. E um dia os de Nova Iorque mudam o nome para Museu Frank Lloyd Wright ou Museu da Quinta Avenida para ser diferente.

Quer se queira, quer não, o futuro da realidade virtual vai arrastar muitos para esse mundo de fantasia...


>>Então mas a arquitectura não é "este mundo habitável" ?:)

>>Como vamos tactear a parede ? Como vamos poder cheirar e sentir a pedra fria e seca ou a madeira húmida ? As entradas de luz ? As relaçoes de escala/proporçao ?

>>É um campo no qual ainda é necessária muito aprofundamento e sobre o qual não me encontro muito seduzida.:tired:

>>No entanto, aqui ficam aqui uma imgem dos Asymptote Architecture, q estao de momento a desenvolver alguns projectos nessa área:

Eu pessoalmente também não me deixo seduzir por esses mundos virtuais, sou demasiado terra-a-terra, e se calhar ainda acredito na humanidade... A arquitectura virtual é uma área completamente diferente da real, porque as regras e leis que a regem podem ser controlados a "nosso" belo prazer, mas nada como um ventinho na cara e umas gotas a escorrerem-nos pelo cabelo para dizer que estamos vivos...

Não é incrível tudo o que pode caber dentro de um lápis?...

O mundo virtual é habitado pela mente. Algo incompleto. A Arquitectura deverá vivida tanto pela mente como pelo corpo. O homem é composto de corpo e mente. A arquitectura tem que ser tactil, sentir a presença da matéria e de protecção de um invólucro... o virtual é superficial e que não protege de nada... é um bluff.

ABU DHABI TO BUILD GEHRY-DESIGNED GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

30,000 SQUARE METRE LANDMARK TO ESTABLISH UAE CAPITAL AS GLOBAL CULTURAL DESTINATION

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Saturday, July 8, 2006.

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates in the Arabian Gulf, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the New York-based Guggenheim Foundation to establish a world-class museum devoted to modern and contemporary art. To be called the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (GAD), the museum, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Frank Gehry, will position the emirate as a leading international cultural destination.

At 30,000 square metres, the Abu Dhabi museum will be the only Guggenheim museum in the region and will be larger than any existing Guggenheim worldwide. It is expected that the museum will be constructed within five years.

The museum will form its own major collection of contemporary art and will also exhibit masterworks from the Guggenheim Foundation’s global collections. The museum will be built in the Cultural District of Saadiyat Island—a natural island lying 500 metres offshore the UAE capital which is being transformed into an international tourism destination. The Cultural District will also be home to a national museum, classical art museum, maritime museum, performing arts centre and an expansive arts centre park.

“Today’s signing represents the determination of the Abu Dhabi Government to create a world-class cultural destination for its residents and visitors,” said HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and member of the Executive Council. “It also demonstrates the commitment of UAE President and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to demonstrably establish this emirate as a quality destination of international standing, one capable of achieving and maintaining relationships with the very highest calibre of global partners.

“This is a major step forward in our plans for Saadiyat Island and its Cultural District which will become an international cultural hub for the Middle East on par with the best in the world. The signing also represents a significant development in the creation and nurturing of international cultural ties which we believe will do much to forge greater understanding between all nations.”

Thomas Krens, Director of the Guggenheim Foundation, said the signing reflects the visionary spirit and forward-looking approach that are the Guggenheim’s hallmarks. “Our commitment to international communication and global cultural exchange—realised through our museums, collections, and programmes—is inclusive. The Guggenheim implicitly regards all contemporary cultures and their traditions as potential partners in the field of aesthetic discourse—we are both respectful of difference and excited by it.

“In Abu Dhabi,” Krens continued, “we have had the good fortune to discover a partner that not only shares our point of view, but expands upon it. The plans for Saadiyat Island and the cultural district, envisioned and developed by the Abu Dhabi Government, are, quite simply, extraordinary. When this comprehensive and inclusive vision is realised, it will set a standard for global culture that will resonate for decades to come.”

William Mack, Chairman of the Guggenheim Foundation, led a delegation of Guggenheim trustees to Abu Dhabi for the project launch. He said: “It is with a keen sense of historical precedent and with an abiding commitment to cultural exchange as a bridge to international understanding that the Guggenheim Foundation enters into this agreement to establish a Guggenheim museum in Abu Dhabi.

“I congratulate the Government of Abu Dhabi for its foresight in the redevelopment of Saadiyat Island and for its realisation that art and culture have a central role to play in enhancing international relations and understanding, and in encouraging greater educational initiatives locally, regionally and internationally.”

According to the MOU, Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), which manages the authority’s tourism assets, will own the museum. The Guggenheim Foundation will establish and manage the museum’s programme, which will include collection development, exhibitions and educational initiatives.

The MOU was signed on behalf of Abu Dhabi by His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and TDIC, and Thomas Krens.

“Abu Dhabi’s museum will join a highly exclusive Guggenheim museum network which currently includes New York, Venice in Italy, Bilbao in Spain, Berlin in Germany and Las Vegas,” said HH Sheikh Sultan. “The MOU is testimony to Abu Dhabi’s ambition to become an upscale destination and to ensure that the Abu Dhabi name resonates worldwide.”

His Highness Sheikh Sultan, who is also Chairman of Abu Dhabi Culture and Heritage Authority, also signed an agreement appointing the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry to design the museum. Gehry is the architect of the celebrated Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

“When the museum, made of titanium, glass and limestone, opened in 1997 it was instantly hailed as the most important building of its time,” explained HH Sheikh Sultan. “Just as Bilbao established a new level of design excellence, Gehry’s GAD design brief is to push the boundaries of his own architectural practice and set the benchmark for museums in the 21st century.”

Architectural distinction will be a defining feature for all of the major new structures which will comprise Saadiyat Island’s Cultural District.

“We are currently in negotiations with other world-class international cultural institutions and anticipate making further announcements on the Cultural District’s outstanding projects in the months to come,” said Mubarak Al Muhairi, Director General, ADTA and Managing Director TDIC.

“Cultural tourism is an important component of our redevelopment plan. The power of the arts to attract an international audience is borne out by the fact that with its global locations, the Guggenheim has seen its worldwide attendance triple over the past 15 years. It now welcomes more than 2.5 million visitors annually, making it one of the world’s most visited museums.”

About Saadiyat Island:
Saadiyat Island – which translates from Arabic as Island of Happiness – is the largest single mixed-use development in the Arabian Gulf. The 27 square kilometre natural island – half the size of Bermuda – lies only 500 metres offshore Abu Dhabi island – the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Saadiyat Island is being developed into a complete visitor and residential destination.

Saadiyat Island represents one of the most important development opportunities in Abu Dhabi’s history. The island, which has 30kms of water frontage and boasts many natural eco-features including mangrove forests, is being developed as a strategic international tourism destination and marks a new era in the rapid evolution of Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates which form the UAE Federation.

Saadiyat Island will be developed in three phases with total completion scheduled for 2018. The masterplan envisages six highly individual districts and includes 29 hotels, including an iconic 7-star property, three marinas with combined berths for around 1,000 boats, museums and cultural centres, two golf courses, civic and leisure facilities, sea-view apartments and elite villas.

Saadiyat Island will be linked to the main Abu Dhabi island and the Abu Dhabi mainland via two, 10-lane freeways making the destination easily accessible to Abu Dhabi International Airport, which will be just a 25 kilometre drive away.

Saadiyat Island is being developed by the Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), an independent public joint stock company of which Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority is the sole shareholder. TDIC’s strategy is to dispose of development land on the island to private investors who will each develop their sites in accordance with the masterplan and supporting planning regulations and design guidelines.

About The Guggenheim Foundation:
Founded in 1937, The Guggenheim Foundation has the most international outlook of all New York City’s great cultural institutions. The foundation’s mandate is to preserve art and educate the public, and, over the past seven decades, it has amassed a premier collection of modern and contemporary art.

The Guggenheim Foundation currently owns and operates three museums: the Guggenheim Museum on Fifth Avenue, New York City; the Peggy Guggenheim Collection on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy; and the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Las Vegas.

The foundation also provides programming and management for two other museums in Europe that bear its name, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the Deutsche Guggenheim, in Berlin. Through a unique alliance agreement, the Guggenheim Foundation shares its collections and collaborates on programming with the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Kunshistorisches Museum in Vienna.

About Tourism Development & Investment Company:
Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) is a public joint stock company established under Law No: 12 of 2005 as decreed by the Abu Dhabi Ruler and UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. TDIC is an independent organisation empowered to manage the tourism investment zones of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), which directs and implements strategy for the expansion of the emirate’s tourism sector. TDIC will develop the real estate assets that support ADTA’s mission of assisting UAE economic diversification through tourism development.

TDIC shareholding, fully owned by ADTA, operates along strictly commercial lines with its projects being self-sustaining and economically feasible. Its activities include creating development and tourism related concepts for specific sites and locations, disposing of, or repositioning, government-owned tourism related assets, entering into joint ventures with investment partners for assets such as hotels or residential products, as well as serving as the master developer for large scale projects.

About Abu Dhabi:
Spread over 87,340 square kilometres, Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven emirates which make up the United Arab Emirates and accounts for more than 85% of the country’s total landmass. The UAE is one of the six members of the Arabian Gulf Co-operation Council.

Abu Dhabi city, built on the largest of almost 200 natural offshore islands in the emirate, is the capital both of the emirate and of the UAE. It is the federal seat of government and home to most ministries and institutions, embassies, state broadcasting facilities and oil companies.

Abu Dhabi’s population is currently around 1.6 million and is expected to grow by 6.8 per cent per annum over the next decade to a projected 3.4 million by 2015.

Abu Dhabi has an estimated 9.2% of the world’s proven oil reserves and 4% of its total proven natural gas reserves. The emirate has a per capita income of approximately US $30,000. Realising the challenges posed by the country’s heavy economic reliance on finite carbon resources, the emirate’s leadership is actively pursuing economic diversification.

É certo k em cada lugar anteriormente absoleto a nivel urabanistico, o nascimento de um Guggenheim consegue mover dinamismo e desenvolvimento local! E porque não no México?? Sofrerá todas as transformações k bilbao sofreu e entrará para o mapa da arquitectura, o k para eles até será mt benéfico. Entrarão turistas, conhecimento, divulgação e dinheiro!!
Mts criticaram o facto de ser GHERY o escolhido a fazer o Parke Mayer, com tantos arquitectos portugueses, mas eskecem-se k por um lado colocaria mais uma obra dele na rota do nosso pais e consequentes turistas interessados!
Acho k sim aliar divulgação ao desenvolvimento e futuro dinamismo..

Reavivando este tópico, deixo aqui um artigo onde são reveladas imagens de outras propostas para o local em Guadalajara

Clouds, by Ten

Guggenheim Museum Guadelejara (Copyright Ten Arquitectos)

In the UK adiscussion about iconography between Deyan Sudjic (critic for The Oberver, book: Architecture & Power) and Charles Jencks (book: Iconic Building) is just published.

The discussion revolves around the Guggenheim Museum and its success, and its failed successors.
In this context it’s interesting to look at the results of the last Guggenheim competition that was held for the city of Guadelejara, Mexico.

The three finalists all propose a different iconography: the sky/tower, a (sea)shell and a basalt-cube.

Ten Architectos
The winner of the competition Enrique Norton/Ten Architectos has the best design. The concept of the building is to stack the museum-spaces. The public route of ‘roltrappen’ circles around the exhibition spaces into the air. The tower is wrapped in a glass skin that has partially a light print.

The concept of any tower is to reach into the air and eventually dissolve into that air. Because of gravitation the base of a church-tower or skyscraper is big and heavy, while the top reaches as light as possible into the air. The building is a sort of rotated gradient into the air. Enrique Norton doesn’t do this, but cleverly combines a concept of the Dutch architects Neutelings Riedijk (one of the designers of the project is from Holland) with a Modernistic concept of dissolving the difference between in & outside. The gradient is not vertical but horizontal. The glass with its reflection furthermore seems from the outside to dissolve in the air, while from the inside the matte-glass makes you feel that you’re already walking through the clouds.

Disadvantage of the scheme is obviously that the view of the landscape doesn’t change when you’re moving higher in the tower. Because of the location next to a cliff the view is of the distant landscape, which practically stays the same, because relatively you’re not really moving upwards. The view of the neighborhood in the back of course does change.

Asymptote
The concept of the proposal of Asymptoteis that the building structure is made like a shell. That way the interior of the museum is freed from supporting structure, i.e. can be totally open and flexible. According to the designers the form of the building mimics the surrounding landscape. I don’t see it. It looks a bit like a weird seashell, which is obviously completely displaced here.

Jean Nouvel
The ateliers of Jean Nouvel designed a building that is made of the rocks of the location: basalt. The building is conceptually conceived as a solid block of basalt, where exhibition spaces are carved out.
Funny thing is that the form of the cube also refers to iron, because that sometimes crystallizes into pure cubes. (Or am I confusing here materials?)
