KCP extension
STATUS
Concept
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
BUDGET
$10K - 50K
The KCP is a massive building, robust, with a large presence on the esplanade where it stands. The large amount of glass does not do it great favor to lose that robustness due to the color of the own carpentry and the glass.
LIDOJEM is the name received by this corpulent mass whose meaning resembles a great structure that can accommodate a mass of people, and it is here where lies the main idea of the project. We can not create an extension of a building without being stuck to it. They need each other and vice versa as if they were two beings that live in symbiosis. We want a project in which from now, it can not perceive the great mass as a solitary entity. That is why a great structure is created that can accommodate a great mass of people, but changing the rules of the game. Our enlargement aims to be a light entity with buoyancy character. We want a symbiosis not a parasite. For this we disavow of the globalized and standardized architecture, of the modernity that does not have place.
The action is to create and give prominence to the facade of architecture, through a large deck which will safeguard all those activities for which it has been designed. We create a cover that in truth, are three covers superimposed and overlapping one with the other, which is supported by a double glass skin semi mirrored which gives that character of weightlessness desired in contrast to the robustness of the KCP.
Weightless, and lightness would be two adjectives that would well define this cover that although of simple idea owns a complex geometry, being this, the center of attention of the new extension. With this, we want to give a contrast to the robustness and massiveness of the existing building, creating a lightweight-massive counter-dialogue and endowing the whole of an ordered opposition
