TAW – oo7. Idaplatz

More stations to Oerlikon! Writes the flyer. Leaves everywhere on the ground, they are slowly moving to somewhere. It’s like they are talking during they move. Sometimes the silence is “very big”, just them can be heard, sometimes the noise of the cars is HUGE, now something strange noise by a cart. The people sound like they are just whispering. Sometimes from the Café – an other truck again – a jingle by a spoon. The sun shines so much. Bicyclist, 1-2 “charging” human on one of the sunny banks. Small leaf, big leaf, …… The bigger look like they are living their own life, they are walking alone – sometimes “run” – in the wind, the smaller in smaller or bigger groups make bands. What is this laugh? “Ha-ha-ha”, like it is the Santa Claus! Bicycle on the gravel, one’s ring is ringing by itself. Everything is very calm, like – a telephone rings somewhere, it must be an oldschool one – nothing is happening. But if you start to be care for one item there will be 1ooo+1 things, everything will be very hectic, noise. But the whole is although very CALM.

Nearly the leaves look like they are moving singly, but from afar the whole is like a huge fish swarm. It is really interesting that now – when the sun shines so much – is the most black the neighbor black ceramic house. Walking person, a girl reads a newspaper on the next bank, a little girl near the billboard, flying leaves, two walker speaking in my eye’s corner, on the left a key is jingling, a van, somewhere a siren, a small airplane, a voice sounds like a jugoslavian woman’s, I won’t repeat myself. We can see our flat so rare from outside, but it is on the ground floor and it has huge windows. Right now the sun shines in! It is very bright, nice place, we like it. A guy whizzing why he cross by his bike, already I can’t see him. Very LOUDLY walking guy on the gravel : D

There is no more place on the flyer, I don’t follow it on a new one!

After a simple BRUNCH

We were invited on Sunday to the Riff Raff for a brunch with the “classmates” : D So we went there and if we were there I took a few pictures about the Riff Raff and I tried to find out it’s mystery. OK, it is really Swiss – complex and simple in one time. We also like it! So on our way to there we looked an other small project what I found on the internet. It is a small bicycle and stuff “container”. O yes maybe I found it when I looked for containers!

Then we arrived to the Riff Raff. It’s first stage was designed by Staufer & Hasler architekten and it was a revitalization of and old building. The new building – Riff-Raff 2 – was designed by Marcel Meili & Marcus Peter.

After the brunch we started to go house but it wasn’t so easy : D We found so much cool things to photo. We crossed the im Viadukt and the park near it!

We passed the Freitag headquarter : D an other container building!

Than we discovered a new stuff!!! We like so much these discoveries! So, it is a Local for the quarter or something like that. Once someone said: Concrete is sexy!

Havana Galerie

We have been in an amazing gallery. It is small, contemporary and full with impressions. I suggest it to everyone. The owner – artist greets everyone with kind and she is very proud for her work. She designed the extension of the old part with her architect husband so it is so natural. Everything has it’s place in and out of the building too. We didn’t shoot photos because it was too familiar but I promise next time we’ll. But the best way to discover it if you go and watch it!

Our neighbour – Stadthaus

It is so nice but it is so close.

That’s why we didn’t write about it till now. This building stands on our left. It looks like it is a free standing building in a block area. Every story is one flat. The outer skin is a black ceramic. It is also moving/waving a little bit. The windows, the balconies and the flats are very cool! More details, plans: architonic or look the architects website: huggenbergerfries. They were the architects of the tram station on the Parade Platz what I also would like to show here. So search for their works on their website which is also very nice.

Our Ida Platz : D

We were very lucky again! We found a flat in 4 days and it is in a great place! Our Ida platz is like if you are in Barcelona and Paris and in Rome in one time. There are a lot of people, youngs, elders, different nations and languages! So I think we will fit it easily. I will look for the designers and the story of the square sooner. So we are living here, not in the black house but doesn’t matter, sooner or later it will come too : D

Dynamo – what’s that?

I found this Dynamo metal workstation in a few months ago so while we are here why couldn’t we look for it? : D

The architects: PHALT

This is a cultural meeting point and workshop place on the bank of the Limmat. It is in a really good place close to the Hauptbahnhof and it is calm. There is a small restaurant/café and there is a “big” old “factory” building too. It is a music hall for METAL, punk, ….. music : D That’s METAL! So this new building has been designed for the metal workshops but there is a “textil-factory” and …… too. We will look for more details in the future.

It is financed by the Stadt Zürich and it is mostly for young people.

Museum trip on Saturday

On Friday we organized our trip for the weekend. The weather forecast foretold nice weather so we decided to go somewhere! After the Museum für Gestaltung we’d like to see the Museum Bellerive too. So the goal was the Zürichhorn. And I we are there we have to look the Le Corbusier centre and in the neighbourhood the of Studio Hermann Haller. He was a swiss painter and sculpture. Hw lived for a term in Zürich where he designde with a friend his studio. This is the place where now we could find his works. The studio and his works are also very nice and inspiring.

In the Museum Bellerive is an exhibition with the photos of René Burri who is also swiss. He made hundreds of thousands photos about Le Corbusier’s life and works. So the 2nd Corbu in one week. I like it! The Bellerive villa is very impressive, the location is amazing. The interior is really simple and elegant.

It is time (2PM) to enter to the “church”. I’m so sorry but we couldn’t make photos but I’ll try to explain what is inside in the Le Corbusier centre. This building was the last design of the master for the invitation of Heidi Wéber. Who asked him to design a Le Corbusier centre. It sounds cool! The building has been designed in the Modulor and everything is in it’s place. There are low spaces, high-double spaces, interior and exterior spaces too. There are pillars in the living room but you can’ t feel it there are low spaces but you don’t mind! There are 4 stories the ground floor, the underground floor, the upper floor and the roof which is also usable. You can move between the floors on a narrow concrete, cantilevered stairway or on a narrow but long ramp which – like in the ghost castle – cross the limits and go to the exterior after the upper floor. On the ground and the upper floor the spaces are very transparency so the toilette is on the underground floor. On that floor there is a exhibition space and a “theather” space. But there is also connection with the exterior by a transom-window.

There are 2 structures the outer skin – mostly the roof – is the first one and the inner block what is the “main” building. Under the construction first the roof has been built and just after it have been placed the prefabricated “boxes”. And there are tree main materials, the concrete – like the stairway or the ramp, the steel – mostly all other structures, pillars, walls and finally the glass – the transparency.

Wood festival 2o1o – Csongrád

The first hungarian Wood festival have been from 24th to 3oth of August. The organizers were the MOME line and the UIArchicts. Peter Pozsár one of the organizers invited me to the event to be a “team-leader” with him. There were other 3 “team-leaders” invited. Áron Losonczi - the inventor of the light-transmitting concrete, András Huszár – architect, and Gábor Miklós Szőke – sculptor. The location – Csongrád art camp – was ideal for the workshop.

The festival: it comes from Copenhagen. There is a wood festival in every summer in Copenhagen where everyone can compete from all over the world. Peter Pozsár and his students have won two places for the fest so they were happy that they’ll go there. BUT in this summer the fest has been calcelled! So Peter found out to do the fest in Hungary in a shorter organizing term but with great will. So they started to organize it. They started to call in participants from the 3 biggest hungarian architectural universities.

The goal? Every team has to create something from 1 KM wooden sticks (4×4x3oo cm).

The opening ceremony with the members, team-leaders and with a lot of fun.

The design process and the final results in a few pictures.

Carlos Ferrater – ETSAB 2oo9

Sr. Carlos Ferrater Lambarri and Sr. Jorge Vidal Tomas wrote this about my work at the ETSAB.

“We have known and followed closely the work and studies of Bence Komlósi since the summer 2oo9 when he participated in taller of projects at the School of architecture of Barcelona, ETSAB.

Bence Komlósi is a serious architect, curious, with a strong pursuit of excellence, searching for ways to be an architect, always learning. We are delighted to support Bence very strongly. Bence is a unique intellectual who has developed a deep sense of commitment to learning and to learn with others. His curriculum, projects, travels, studies and writings give indications as to his dedication acquiring knowledge from all sources and his intellectual guts and emotional courage to move and abandon. We mean it physically and ideologically. He is always searching: with ambiguity and specificity, with abherence to the ordinary and attention. He is young yet, his depth of inquiry gives clues to a profound and committed architect. For us, he echoes the architect of the new modernity, of the world in the making. We like this architect very much. We need this architect. We need the passion, the search, and the integrity; the complexity and nobility of the architecture, and the stories. We need to give them place, company, support and encouragement. We believe that Bence is a very good candidate for your program. We have no doubt that he will do very well.

We support Bence Komlósi with confidence and delight and we wholeheartedly recommend his to you.”

György Hild DLA – BUTE 2oo9

I’m following Bence Komlosi’s career since his 2nd year in the university. He did his „complex” design and final project with my assistance, which all he achieved with excellent mark. His chosen themes always search the deeper layers of architecture. He is sensitive, always looking for the HUMAN (with the centre) in his problem setting – conception making process. He is assisting at the „Residential Housing design 2.” subject’s lessons at BUTE.

I could follow that Bence continuously educates himself, he’s open–minded and talented architect (what his other competitions arguing) and enthusiastic, worksome tutor.

I am truly advocate his positive awarding.

György Hild DLA, associate professor BUTE
