3CPO Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Rem Koolhaas - Den Haag - 1994/2005Souterrain Depois de uma visita a Den Haag, aproveitei para ver este projecto ao vivo... Na minha opinião está fantastico...liga-se bastante bem à malha urbana, consegue transmitir um ar fresco à noção de estação subterrânea... Deixo algumas fotografias e desenhos, bem como algumas fotos da maquete... Aguardo comentários The Hague in a certain sense is an imprisoned city, confined by the sea, the highway connecting Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and neighbouring cites. It is therefore the only city that for its growth relies on redefinition of sites within its boundaries. To grow, for this city, means to become more dense. The Hague, the Dutch capital of conservatism and bureaucracy, has planned the completion of more than 30 projects in the centre - most of them much larger than any of the existing buildings, which will transform the character and scale of the existing fabric before the turn of the century radically. Surprisingly, the increase in density (+ 500.000 m2 of program) goes hand in hand with plans to minimize car traffic on street level. To achieve this, a so called parking-road is strung around the heart of the city, defining a 1.000.000 m2 'island’ forbidden to all but local traffic. This loop-road will connect to a number of - largely underground - parking garages. Most - existing and new - parkings connect to the loop individually, each one of them isolated from the others. One of the new projects, which is as much an element of infrastructure as it is a building, is the digging of a multi-storey tunnel - a 1250 m long subway 'scoop’, with 2 stations and a 375 car parking-garage. This tunnel-building is the necessary addition that makes all other buildings work. The tunnel acts like a spine connecting the separate 'organs’, creating a body of underground connections that serves the city from underneath. The city is turning into a kind of 'La Défense in reverse’, the slumbering existing reanimated by an 'underworld’ of interconnecting parking garages, rails, tram stops and roads even, bringing underground everything necessary but no longer acceptable on grade. The main challenge of this project was to prove that architecture can have a positive effect when applied to the rigour of transport pragmatism. The building is a sandwich of a subway-line with 2 layers of parking on top and a station at either end. Its stretches out below the main shopping street, repeating its outlines, leaving a 'workspace’ of 600 by 15 m approximately, to overcome the boredom of a 600 m long continuous section, and to provide an answer to the question of underground orientation/isolation, every opportunity has been taken to modify the height and the width of the space, to connect physically or visually to other parts of the tunnels program, to provide views of the outside - city or sky, to link the tunnel with surrounding shops. Usually, built parkings are victims of technical and economical constraints, the full weight of all structural and mechanical difficulties imposed upon them. In this case, the linearity of the site turned out to be an escape from this prison of practice. Ventilation: the tunnel is the duct; structure: the tunnel is the walls, the beams and the slabs. The parking becomes a fluid space, making use of the slopes in the rail and exploiting one of the gives, its enormous length, as an unprecedented quality. Where parking and stations meet, partitioning walls have been kept transparent. Architectural finishes are almost non-existing due to the surprising beauty of rock-like concrete walls, pored in the irregular coast soil of The Hague; only light, daylight and electric, gives texture and clear readings of the fluid spaces underground.

asimplemind Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 estão aí uns espaços bem interessantes! Acho bastante interessante como está retratada a ideia de mobilidade. Gosto bastante do aspecto geral quando se está na zona de embarque, aquelas texturas sao interessantes. Isto comparado com as estaçoes do metro do porto é o oposto! Isso é a estação central de Den Haag? eu por acaso não andei muito pela cidade em Den Haag foi mais pela zona do porto, não tenho ideia da populaçõa da cidade. Mas essa estação é muito movimentada?

3CPO Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Posted September 23, 2006 Esta estação é uma paragem do eléctrico...na zona do Grote Markt foram projectados parqueamentos subterrâneos e ao mesmo tempo aproveitou-se para se solucionar problemas viários já que aquela zona é bastante movimentada (é o cruzamento dos transportes que ligam a zona dos portos, a Centraal Station, a Den Haag Hollands Spoor Station e as diversas linhas de eléctrico)... Assinalado no mapa a vermelho: Parece-me um projecto muito bem conseguido... Quote
Marius Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Interessante...n conhecia!!!gosto bastante do Rem Koolhas e da sua equipa!!!parece estar muito bem solucionado, tendo em conta a sua localização bem como a sua funçao... abraço Quote
pinTas Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 também me parece um projecto bem conseguido. concilia a questão do estacionamento subterrâneo com a estação do eléctrico, ainda encontra lugar para as duas zonas se ligarem visualmente o que dá um aspecto interessante à zona. a nível de materiais, gostei das texturas usadas na zona de embarque, e achei curioso o uso da madeira no pavimento da cais. não é muito usual, e acho que lhe dá um aspecto muito mais agradável. não é uma estação de aspecto escuro, esquesita, tem bastante luz, gostei bastante!
