Tuesday, 21 December 2010 08:45
HOK-Dali-Museum-03With he opening for the project planned for January 11th, we wanted to share with our readers photographs of the work during construction, that we have recently received, along with some explanation that sheds the light about HOK's concept. The photographs give a glimpse of the architects and builders attention to details, and how the ideas on paper are translating into reality.

A cultural and artistic renaissance has officially surfaced among the white-capped waves and sailboats that rock gently along the waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, Fla. The understated, conservative ambiance of the city’s past has quietly drifted out with the tide in sharp contrast to the now-apparent wave of change rising here.

violin: mr. wang
choreography: patricia meneses and lucas kao

As part of the intervention, Silent Garden mimetizes with the sound housed in its interior, Semi No Koe participating on the same poetic sound and visual architectures.

Sound piece Semi No Koe by Manuel Rocha Iturbide


Designed by Studio Patricia Meneses, the project is an architectural and landscape intervention on the surroundings of the Fine Art Museum of Taipei, as part of the 2010 Taipei Horticulture and Flora Expo.

While the exhibition that opened on the 6th of November will be staying on for six months, Silent Garden will remain as a permanent work becoming a public space of the city of Taipei.

Here is how its creators see it:

Nothing ever got me,
nothing ever took me,
but the strings of the violin,
while the worm knitted
its refuge to metamorphose.

The project is based on extracting the essence of poetry kept in nature, nature poems.

The silk worm, an insect capable to create its own space to become a butterfly, through its own fluids, building a perfect organic refuge to live its metamorphosis.

Henley Halebrown Rorrison - The Waldron in Lewisham, South London
Friday, 10 December 2010 08:17

The phased masterplan development of The Waldron health centre in Lewisham South London has just been completed. Designed to change people’s perception of healthcare, The Waldron is planned around a new civic square framed by the health centre, shops, and a 5-storey development with street level café. Inside, the 6,029 sq m health centre is organised around two courtyard gardens and a spacious foyer featuring a site-specific installation by artist Martin Richman.
HhBR-01Located in the London Borough of Lewisham just north of London’s South Circular inner ring road, in an area in which housing estates and tower blocks populate a discontinuous landscape, the new centre replaces an anonymous single storey health centre with a significant urban development that has a greater capacity to shape the fabric of the locality and form a backdrop for public activity.

Featuring a 24-hour emergency department, this hospital designed by Seattle based ZGF Architects for the Franciscan Health System, is equipped to handle trauma cases and includes medical, surgical and critical care units; inpatient and outpatient surgery; a heart catheterization laboratory; diagnostic services (including MRI, CT scans, ultrasound and mammography); and physical, occupational and speech therapies.

The main hospital is connected to the 95,000 SF Milgard Medical Pavilion which houses medical offices and the Jane Thompson Russell Cancer Care Center, an integrated cancer center offering programs for patients and families. The project also includes parking for 700 cars.

A Community in Need

Prior to the completion of the new St. Anthony Hospital, the South Sound Region represented one of the largest population centers in the State of Washington without a central community hospital. As a result more than 3,500 emergencies and 4,000 patients requiring overnight care had to travel well outside of the area for treatment annually.
