The architecture of the NVC takes the simplicity and elegance of a paper
boat/plane as inspiration. The building is conceived as a hybrid of those
images, both symbolically related to Newark
historic development. In a particular way, our proposal can be defined as an
instrument to observe the city in a different way.
The design for NVC will be an icon of “back to the water” strategy of Newark; our strategy
aspires to reinforce the urban link between the future riverfront and the urban
tissue, while accommodating contemporary new urban conditions and practices.
Our proposal can be defined as a hybrid that merges cultural, social,
public, private, and iconic, creating a dynamic civic building for a wider
public into a one unique urban device.
New hybrid program includes a ‘events and venues” facilities, and publics
spaces.
The Forum is the nerve center of the complex. Two asymmetrical slopes
facing one each other containing the
public reunion and meeting program (auditorium, informal projections,
information center) The Forum has a grand vertical atrium that link the
underground basis, containing principals NVC’s facilities ( Employee zone,
Utility zone and partial Public zone) to the
“events and venues” facilities.
This atrium provides a living dynamism to whole building, by a network of
stairs and terraces that occupy the expanded stair landings, visitors climbing
and descending stairs seeing each other, socializing in informal ways and
spaces, entering and exiting conferences or meetings will bring a new urban
experience at Newark
riverfront.
