i remember seeing a building addition/renovation in spain, of an old building/structure with a rooftop copper like modern addition...windows in the old building where bricked in...somewhat minimalist...could be toledo...valencia...sevilla...large scale building, in an urban historical type setting, much like that tate, but with much more forceful proportions...
i just don't remember, and can't find any info on it...help!?
no worries simples... i just saw this set recently so it was an easy guess... and i agree with (the real) mdler... there's a few pictures in there with close ups of the panels and it looks like cor-ten. some look to be laser cut? i think my favorite part is that green wall..
i am really curious as how the cut preforation on the cor-ten panels will read on the inside of the building...now, they've used copper cladding on the de young museum, and i would've loved to see it being used here (seems more like cor-ten to me as well, though)...i would've loved to see the green patina from copper start to stain the stone of the original building as it ages...would've been fantastic...who knows...
phuyaka...thanks for the bump...i was really curious about the interior of the building...not as sublime as i had hoped...and the perforations fail to bring enough light into the interior - based on the flicker images, anyways-
still, just amazing!
Yeah I too was hoping the perforations had a larger effect on the interior spaces. Maybe we're just not seeing those shots? The florescent strips lighting some of those galleries seem like a really odd choice as well. I do think the way the old building pulls off of the ground at the entrance, revealing that triangulated metal surface is pretty powerful, not exactly a new idea for H+deM but I think this is probably the most potent example of that entrance strategy being employed.
mystery building in spain

phuyaka...that's it !!! thank you so much...and it was H&deM after all...
those silly swiss...why can't they just put up a webpage...
whos you callin' silly?
what material turns red-orange like that?
looks like weathering steel to me (Cor-ten). I was in Scottsdale, Arizona this past weekend and the new library has the same colored skin

I'm not the biggest fan of those two but I'm liking this and their other latest projects alot.
that green wall is fantastic...so mystical...

the 'green wall' appears to be another patric blanc installation....
I do love the staircase inside..
