- CLJ02: ZA11 PAVILION in Romania
| Posted: 24 Jul 2011 08:50 AM PDT
This three-story steel-framed residence for a pair of artists includes studios for both. Naoko Horibe paid particular attention to designing an exterior for the tall new structure that would blend seamlessly into the surrounding neighborhood, which was subdivided and developed several decades ago. The exterior color is close to the subdued shades of the surrounding buildings, while the strong horizontal line of the roofing materials echoes the horizontal lines of the siding joints. The windows are all of a uniform size, but because they are set at various heights it is difficult to tell from the outside where one story starts and the next ends. As a result, the sense of the building as a three-story structure is softened.

| House in Takatsuki | Naoko Horibe Posted: 24 Jul 2011 08:08 AM PDT
This property is located in a crowded residential district, with a parking lot on the west that is likely to be developed and a newspaper distribution center to the north that operates from early in the morning. Given those circumstances, Naoko Horibe decided to design the house around a central courtyard and surround the property with walls, closing it off from the street. To avoid pressing in too much on the narrow alley to the east, architect kept the height as low as possible and placed the courtyard’s autumn flowering cherry so it would be visible to people walking down the alley. The interior is minimalistic and breezy, even though we kept the number of doors low to ensure privacy.

| House in Hatsugano | Naoko Horibe Posted: 24 Jul 2011 08:08 AM PDT
This lot is bordered by a road on the west and boxed in by houses on the south, north, and east. Houses will also be built across the road to the west, so architect’s main challenge was securing adequate privacy and natural light. As a result, architect decided to design the building around a central courtyard. Although the facade appears monolithic from the street, the instant the front door is opened one is confronted by an open, light-filled courtyard. The plan on the first and second floors allows residents to circle around the courtyard as they move from room to room, almost as if they were going for a walk within their own home.

Japanese architect Naoko Horibe has designed this adzuki house located in Himeji-Shi, HYOGO, Japan. This compact three-story residence is located on an 82m² lot bordered by roads on three sides. All the rooms look out on a courtyard planted with trees, bringing a sense of the changing seasons to the interior of the house. Even the bath has a large fixed window that allows bathers to enjoy the green of the trees outside. The white of the courtyard walls can be glimpsed here and there through the large windows in the adzuki-bean-colored exterior, giving a sense of depth to the house despite its compact design.  adzuki, image courtesy Naoko Horibe | Photo by Eiji Tomita  adzuki, image courtesy Naoko Horibe | Photo by Eiji Tomita  adzuki, image courtesy Naoko Horibe | Photo by Eiji Tomita  adzuki, image courtesy Naoko Horibe | Photo by Eiji Tomita  adzuki, image courtesy Naoko Horibe | Photo by Eiji Tomita  adzuki, image courtesy Naoko Horibe | Photo by Eiji Tomita + Project credits / dataProject: adzuki  adzuki - L1 floor plan, drawing courtesy Naoko Horibe  adzuki - L2 floor plan, drawing courtesy Naoko Horibe  adzuki - L3 floor plan, drawing courtesy Naoko Horibe + All images and drawings courtesy Naoko Horibe                             |
| CLJ02: ZA11 PAVILION in Romania Posted: 23 Jul 2011 09:55 PM PDT
The project started out as an ambitious student-powered endeavor to design and fabricate at a 1:1 scale the flagship pavilion for the ZA11 Speaking Architecture event in Cluj, Romania. While at the same time integrating into its historically-charged context, the design boasts a strong representational power which was much needed in order to fulfill its main goal: attracting passers-by to the event. The object tries to make legible the new ontology which is slowly defined by computational architecture and is a showcase for the processes empowered by it. At the same time, the pavilion offers a sheltered space for the unfolding of different social events pertaining to the corresponding architecture festival.

We were faced with the harsh requirements of creating an actually working design with the material and tools available from sponsors (Graphtec, Holver) while at the same time fitting inside a budget dwarfed by its expectations. Therefore we constrained the creative exploration agenda to a relatively limited approach which, most importantly, was scalable in terms of materials and fabrication techniques. The final design consists of 746 unique pieces, which, once assembled, create a free-form ring which is subdivided into deep hexagons. This particular geometrical configuration allowed for the sheltering of the different planned events while at the same time inciting curiosity through its unusual, spectacular form. The realization of the design was made possible by advanced use of parametric design techniques, with the help of which the whole process was controlled from exact geometry generation to piece labeling, assembly logic and actual fabrication (CNC milling).

As an educational exercise it completed the design phase and proved to be invaluable in terms of actually understanding and working with the constraints encountered in real-life. Varying material thickness (and subsequent extra flexibility and less joint stiffness), rain and wind posed many challenges which had to be resolved on-site as quickly as possible so as to meet the assembly deadline.

Interest was aroused in both young and senior citizens, both professionals and non-architects by the completed pavilion as well as during the act of its construction, thus proving to be more than an indifferent temporary shelter. Furthermore, it successfully provided a flexible and comfortable space for the different events pertaining to the event (temporary bookshop, open-air cinema, tea party, jam sessions and a small concert + sleeping in the sun) to unfold. The first of its kind in Romania, the ZA11 Pavilion can be definitively called a successful architectural experiment.  CLJ02: ZA11 PAVILION, image courtesy Dimitrie Stefanescu, Patrick Bedarf & Bogdan Hambasan Designed and assembled only by students (with little preliminary outside help), it successfully met all expectations and proved to be an invaluable experience in blending avant-garde design techniques with a low budget and a skeptical professional context.
