The Wien Museum extension proposal consists of preserving the existing building by embracing it with a new “promenade”. The main goal is to propose a new urban solution, by extending the Karlsplatz itself to the rooftop of the museum.

The idea of an inner continuous museum circulation could actually be brought to the exterior of our building. By creating a double ramp around the museum, we were able to separate a private path related to the museum exhibitions, from the public that would take you from Karlsplatz to the top.

The idea of wrapping the old building with a contemporary shell, in which you can walk through, gives a new caracter to the site.  As if walking around the museum, would be walking around the city.

PULS 4 TV Studio Set

PULS4 Studio concept corresponds to a spatial grouping of three different transmission formats distributed throughout the broadcast day disposed in a single studio space.

The panoramic video wall enables unlimited graphic freedom, and is enclosed in a common framework.

The forms of studio sets and the various panels and furniture were design in a liquefied architectonic language reflecting the continuous flow of information.

Buenos Aires Art Museum – BAAM

The Buenos Aires Art Museum presents itself as a sculptural organism that interacts with the waterfront path, establishing a continuous transition between Fragata Sarmiento and Puente de la Mujer.

The project is based on an urban concept solution for this transit-space: a passage that functions simultaneously as an exhibition space. Therefore, creating a passage through art.

Developed with an infinite geometry, the BA.AM offers a continuous path, along its multiple platforms, rethinking the standard organization of museums exploring new forms and dimensions of exhibiting artistic works.

The BA.AM also provides its Curators total freedom to potentiate several kinds of exhibitions, while understanding that art has no longer boundaries in its expression neither in its confined to exhibition spaces.

The main goal of the Bridge Museum of Urban Art  was to propose an urban structure which is able to function as an urban art museum while serving the efficient flux of traffic.

Urban Art as paintings or graffiti which are usually encountered under several bridges’ arches are hence given legitimacy as they become worthy of being exhibited at an upper level.

Having the entrance of the Hermitage Amsterdam at one of its ends, the bridge suggests a contrast between urban art (open-aired, contemporary and accessible to all) and the conventional museum building as an enclosed space in which people have to pay  to visit.

3×3 Faces Pushkinsky Cinema

X Atelier 3×3 Faces Pushkinsky Cinema

As stated countless times before, cinema is all about action, life and architecture in a motion picture.

The cinematic essence of the architectural experience in the Pushkinsky Cinema Theatre is brought by the combination of the past, the future and the dynamics in between, represented trough an innovative and interactive facade design.

This proposal evokes the imaginary in an ever-transforming structure that establishes communication with the city and the people. The condition of metamorphosis guides the action into multiple possibilities of visualization and uses. Besides the advertising capacity, the new facade is self-sustainable and eco-friendly.

The cubic structure is even supported by a system, which slides up and down to create entrance points. The main entrance is the unique access to the Cinema on premiere evenings and special occasions while the side entrances function on a regular daily basis.

The three cubic faces compose a non-static facade, ever in motion, ever diverse experiencing image projected in architecture.
