ODESSA UA 2010
Brutality
of brutalism, naivety of formalism, irony of postmodernism and egocentricity of suprematism –
an imposing Black Square of an architecture, a crude competitor
to historical surrounding. Here is an attempt to use the void as a main
architectural tool contrary to
volume. The edge between outer and inner space is negated and spectator is
required to move through a scenario to discover the architecture.
The
entrance through the void on the façade leads into inner atrium space spiraling
around a concrete sculpture of gramophone
needle. Though the complex includes traditional theatre stage, performance is welcomed to experiment all over the
inner space. Besides theatre hall and two smaller
halls, all convertible into single
symphonic space, building includes restaurant,
art gallery and media centre.
Building structure uses extensively 3-dimensional trusses, in particular
for framing of gramophone tube as well as for fully technical upper storey to
which floors over the tube are suspended.
The project
seeks to promote itself at the background of lack of iconic building of Odessa - the city
traditionally viewed as "humor capital" in Russian culture.
NOTE 1. Came
out earlier than "hole buildings" of BIG or Jakob Macfarlane Architects.
NOTE 2.
Yes, I am aware it can serve as freudist test.
