The Sun-Sculpted Spiral Dream

From the words of the design team, it all started with Mr. and Mrs.Arun requesting them for a utilitarian house which should be functional and comfortable duringsummer and should have a unique aesthetic appeal to it. As a response, the architects came up with an idea of sculptural residence.The result is definitely unique and one of a kind. One does not help but notice this residence as it stands out as a graceful sculpture in silent testimony to the vision of its conceivers in the midst of other houses in the fast growing suburb. It is a simple two storey structure with seamless walls and sweeping curves. The curved exterior walls sandwich the building mass between its extended fins creating a layer of privacy andprotection.

Project • By Eisenman ArchitectsCultural Centres

Cidade da Cultura de Galicia / City of Culture of Galicia

The City of Culture is a new cultural center for the Province of Galicia in northwestern Spain. Its design evolves from the superposition of three sets of information. First, the street plan of the medieval center of Santiago is overlaid on a topographic map of the hillside site (which overlooks the city). Second, a modern Cartesian grid is laid over these medieval routes. Third, through computer modeling software, the topography of the hillside is allowed to distort the two flat geometries, thus generating a topological surface that repositions old and new in a simultaneous matrix never before seen. The original center of Santiago conforms to a figure/ground urbanism in which buildings are figural, or solid, and the streets are residual... More

To the east elevation, the fins give way to a curved brise soleil made of 2,200 m² of architectural wire mesh by Haver & Boecker.The wave-like wire mesh cladding made of architectural weave type EGLA-MONO softens the geometry of the building and creates an effective aesthetic sun protection screen in front of the classr...
