2011 MODERN ATLANTA HOME TOUR

How Do You Define Your Personal Space?

Since 2007, Modern Atlanta Home Tour has inspired, entertained, and educated thousands of fans and an admiring public in love with contemporary architecture and design. The highly sought tour is also a shining example of Atlanta unleashing its creative powers for a new language of bold urbanism to the rest of the nation. Modern Atlanta Home Tour examines the full vernacular of modern residential design currently seen in Atlanta, from the cutting-edge with the use of new sustainable materials and digital technology, all the way back to the post-modern era when architecture was inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles & Ray Eames. You will also witness how thoughtful architects are bringing their passion for contemporary excellence into the interiors of more traditional homes with some amazing results, and fine examples of cool conversion-projects, like that of shipping containers and barns, where both exterior and interior are interpreted to the relevant concerns and needs of today.

Perkins+Will Studio
A new addition to this year’s touring circuit, MA is excited to include commercial architecture in the mix with a tour of the very cool and newly renovated Perkins+Will studio located at 1315 Peachtree Street with breathtaking views of Atlanta High Museum of Art and the Midtown skyline. 1315 is an outstanding example of architecture for the people and represents P+W strong commitment to bold sustainable design, putting Atlanta on a clear path to zero carbon emissions.

There is plenty to be excited about for 2011 and our knowledgeable MA volunteers are at your disposal to help guide you and answer questions. On behalf of our proud sponsors, we look forward to seeing you in June!

Minsuk Cho, the founding architect of Mass Studies, will give a lecture on their past and present projects.

Mass Studies was founded in 2003 by Minsuk Cho in Seoul, Korea, as a critical investigation of architecture in the context of mass production, intensely over-populated urban conditions, and other emergent cultural niches that define contemporary society. Amid the many frictions defining spatial conditions in the twenty-first century, namely past vs. future, local vs. global, utopia vs. reality, and individual vs. collective, Mass Studies focuses on the operative complexity of these multiple conditions instead of striving for a singular, unified perspective. For each architectural project, which exist across a wide range of scales, Mass Studies explores issues such as spatial systems/matrices, building materials/techniques, and typological divergences to foster a vision that allows the discovery of new socio/cultural potential.


Korea Pavilion, Shanghai World Expo 2010, photo by Kyungsub Shin

Korea Pavilion
The World Expo 2010, held in Shanghai, China, is expected to be the largest world expo to date. The theme of the exposition will be “Better City, Better Life,” and the event is to take place from May 1 until October 31, 2010, with more than 192 participating countries to accommodate the 70 million expected visitors.

The Korea Pavilion is situated in Zone A, directly neighboring the Japan Pavilion and the Saudi Arabia Pavilion, and in close proximity to the China Pavilion. The site is around 6000m2, and it is one of the largest lots within the Expo compound. Located on the perimeter of the zone, the site takes advantage of the views out towards the Huangpu River and the Shanghai skyline in the distance.

With land culture (China) and sea culture (Japan) surrounding the peninsula, Korea has been permeable to imported cultures and global influences, whose progressive mix defines contemporary Korean society. Using ‘convergence’ as the main theme, the Korea Pavilion is an amalgamation of ‘sign’ (symbol) and ‘space’: Signs become spaces, and simultaneously, spaces become signs.

배경
“더 나은 도시, 더 나은 삶”이라는 테마 아래, 2010년 5월 1일부터 10월 31일까지 개최되는 상하이 엑스포 2010은 전세계 약 192 개국, 50개 국제기구, 18개 기업관이 참여, 약 7천만명 (외국인 500만명)이 방문할 것으로 예상되어 역사상 최대 규모가 될 것이라는 전망이다.

장소
한국관은 상하이 엑스포 부지 중 아시아 국가 지역인 A지역에 속해있다. 일본관, 사우디 아라비아관과 이웃하고, 관람객 대다수가 필수적으로 방문하게 될 주최국의 중국관과 가까운 거리에 위치한다. 대지면적은 약 6000m2이며 엑스포 단지 내의 가장 큰 부지 중 하나에 속한다. 북서쪽으로는 황포강을 면하고 있어 멀리 상하이의 스카이라인과 강변으로의 조망 확보가 가능하다.

개요
상반된 대륙적 문화와 해양적 문화를 함께 포용하여 융합적이고 풍부한 문화를 창조할 수 있었던 한국 문화의 특성을 한국관을 통해 부각시키고자 한다. ‘융합’이라는 큰 테마 아래 한국관은 ‘기호(문자)’와 ‘공간’의 융합, 즉 기호가 공간이 되는 동시에 공간이 기호가 되도록 디자인 되었다.


Ann Demeulemeester Shop in Seoul, Korea
photo by Yong-Kwan Kim

Ann Demeulemeester Shop
The site is located in an alley, at a block’s distance from Dosandae-ro – a busy thoroughfare in Seoul’s Gangnam district – in close proximity to Dosan Park. Primarily residential in the past, the neighborhood is undergoing a rapid transformation into an upscale commercial district full of shops and restaurants.

The building is comprised of one subterranean level and three floors above. The Ann Demeulemeester Shop is located on the first floor, with a restaurant above and a Multi-Shop in the basement.

This proposal is an attempt to incorporate as much nature as possible into the building within the constraints of a low-elevation, high-density urban environment of limited space (378㎡). The building defines its relationship between natural/artificial and interior/exterior as an amalgamation, rather than a confrontation.

이 계획안은 서울 강남 도산대로의 한 켜 뒤 골목길에 있으며, 도산공원이 가까운 위치에 있다. 과거 주거 지역이었던 이곳은 최근 Shop들과 레스토랑들이 들어서면서 고급 상업지역으로 급속히 변하고 있다.

건물은 지하 1층, 지상 3층 규모의 건물로서, 1층에는 Ann Demeulemeester Shop, 상부에 레스토랑, 그리고 지하 1층에 위치한 Multi Shop 으로 구성되어있다.

저 층, 고밀도의 주변 도시 조건과 주어진 378㎡ 면적의 협소한 대지 조건에서 자연의 경험을 최대한 건물에 끌어들이려는 시도로써 먼저 이 건물의 자연/인공, 외부/내부의 관계는 대치의 관계가 아닌 융화(amalgamation)의 관계로 정의한다.

세 개의 주된 프로그램을 구성하는 각각의 상이한 조건을 가진 실내 공간들이 다양한 방식으로 최대한 외부 공간의 일부로써 인지되고 이용될 수 있도록 하였고, 외부에서 경험되는 건축물 자체도 단순한 하나의 object서의 건물이라기 보다는 자연과 인공 사이 어느 지점에서의 혼성적 유기물로서 (synthetic organism) 경험될 수 있도록 계획하였다.

Back View, Korean Pavilion designed by New York-based Manifesto Architecture

Designed by New York City based architecture firm, Manifesto Architecture, the Korean Pavilion for Modern Atlanta’s 2011 Design is Human Week event is an architectural celebration of Korean culture and design. The firm’s two principals, Jeeyong An and Sang Hwa Lee analyzed the high level of science and structural logic behind the design of the Korean alphabet, which consists of vowels and consonants that interdepend on each other in a very structural and tectonic manner.


Korean Pavilion concept is based on the Korean alphabet

The designers symbolically translated this logical system into a pure and symbolic installation where a field of simple and scientific structures take on various functions and nuances depending on the orientation and perspective of the viewer, just like the Korean alphabet.



The pavilion will not only be an attraction in itself, but it is also the venue in which Modern Atlanta’s exhibition on exceptional modern Korean architecture will be held. The exhibition features many projects that were selected through the “Architecture by/for/of Korea” competition, which was an open call for young and talented designers to submit work that were related to Korea in various ways. The projects were all carefully hand-picked by a prestigious international jury of practicing architects and scholars.



The pavilion is made of materials from the Lucent and Marmo line of HI-MACS® Acrylic Solid Surface which works with a high capacity material for its inherent combination of light and the unique thermoformable properties, sponsored by LG Hausys.

2nd Place-Air Pavilion

Air Pavilion, Daekwon Park & Jaegeun Lim

Air Pavilion
Daekwon Park & Jaegeun Lim

The Air Pavilion was conceived as a phantasmal architecture that renders a playful experience to the event patrons as well as a landmark that provides a temporary focal point to the event and the surrounding neighborhood. The inherent concept of the project is to create an architecture of weightlessness and even more, antigravity. Balloons filled with helium, which can in fact “levitate”, was chosen for this reason as the main component to further develop this concept.

The overall form of the Air Pavilion captures the moment of the ‘balloon release event’ which provokes the joyful emotions associated with it. The sense of ‘suspending time’ will be further evoked by the slow and gentle movement of the pavilion as the wind passes by. Configuration-wise, the Air Pavilion consists of a series of floating balloons that are vertically connected together and anchored to the base plate. During the day, the base plate’s reflective surface augments the spatial environment of the pavilion and during the night, the RGB LEDs that are embedded in the base create a dramatic effect through light and color.

Heating + Cooling. The adsorption chiller uses municipal water as the refrigerant and silica gel as the desiccant, rather than CFCs or Freon, lithium bromide, or ammonia. Eliminating these substances eliminates the potential for hazardous material leaks, aggressive corrosion, chemical testing, and damage to upper-level atmospheric ozone.

Existing buildings currently emit 49% of CO2, the most common greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. The impact of converting existing buildings into energy-efficient buildings with ambitious performance goals supports P+W’s commitment to its 2030 Challenge and reduces the site’s environmental footprint.


FSC-Certified Massaranduba wood tiles are used for the floor surface, as on the Civic Plaza, and flush stainless steel planters are filled with medicinal herbs to promote well being.

The building was deconstructed, revealing the concrete structure and diverting over 80% of the furnishings, finishes and demolition debris from landfills. P+W matched materials for reuse with local needs, resulting in donations to over 20 non-profit organizations and demonstrates how current technologies can achieve the highest LEED Platinum Certification rating and help reduce toxic materials from building products. It is also a living example of how design can continue to contribute to the healthy growth and development of work, employees and community.

About Living Architectures

Living Architectures is a series of films that seek to develop a way of looking at architecture which turns away from the current trend of idealizing the representation of our architectural heritage. The cult of perfect, disembodied forms entirely devoid of people, inevitably leads to a breakup between architecture and living space.

Through these films, Ila Beka and Louise Lemoine put into question the fascination with the picture, which covers up the buildings with preconceived ideas of perfection, virtuosity and infallibility, in order to demnstrate the vitality, fragility, and vulnerable beauty of architecture as recounted and witnessed by people who actually live in, use or maintain the spaces they have selected. Thus, their intention is to talk about architecture, or rather to let architecture talk to us, from an “inner” point of view, both personal and subjective.

Unlike most movies about architecture, these films focus less on explaining the building, its structure and its technical details than on letting the viewer enter into the invisible bubble of the daily intimacy of some icons of contemporary architecture.>br>
Through a series of moments and fragments of life, an unusually spontaneous portrait of the building would emerge. This experient presents a new way of looking at architecture which broadens the field of its representation.
