BIE Project - Film n ° 7 - Expo '92 - Seville Expo 1992 - Modeling ...
last long ... flags for the last 3 Avenue de l'Europe Expo '92 in Seville.
It starts with the flag of Portugal: Plot Area: 3884 sq
total building area: 4981 m²
Maximum Height: 27 meters.
The plot in Portugal is at an angle at the junction of Route Discovery and the Avenue of Europe, and Portugal agreed to deliberately lie at the intersection of these roads. Pioneer of modern times, discovering new worlds or, today, a member of the European Community, which of these guidelines it should give priority?
In architectural terms, the provision pavilion features the dynamism and pride of a high curved wall, crashed through a diagonal, a "short cut", which symbolizes in history, what happened in the fifteenth century.
The general form is presented with an apparent simplicity, using an urban strategy. This is a place recognizable and bearing a name, a vast gathering place in the heart of the bustle of the Expo, in the shade with a fine mesh timber and iron in the middle of freshness created by numerous lakes and fountains.
Another low building borders the site, such a tangent on a secondary axis, crystallized around the strength of radiation from a large central volume, high and curved. This is the bar restaurant that stands on the podium based on a seat, next to two other main buildings placed at an angle approximating the ellipse with all the strength that it gives off.
The flag of Portugal, today.
Here is his version polygons, for the film:
Originality flag where the country name is written using object-letters.
We now turn to the opposite side of the Avenue of Europe, with two pavilions treated simply as cons in-fields in the film. They will be seen only partially, and very distant.
First, the Flag of the United Kingdom :
Plot surface: 6193 m²
total building area: 6454 m²
Maximum Height: 27 meters
The pavilion was designed as a structure-sensitive environment, containing a space that evokes a cathedral immebnse. The morning sun has just hit a wall of glass suspended 18 meters high, constantly cooled by a strip of water that flows into a basin along the building over its entire length.
On the roof, huge slabs form a platform on which are installed solar panels. The electricity generated powers the water pumps to the front.
The western facade is composed of stacked containers and filled with water so as to provide sufficient mass to absorb the extreme heat of midday. The north and south facades are covered with curved blades, 25 meters high, constructed of large masts that support canvas panels. Panels, additional umbrellas protect the south facade.
Interior the pavilion is designed as an oasis cool and calm, protected from the burning sun of Seville.
This modeling, which ultimately is too detailed in relation to the need ... but when one loves, one does not count!
Moving to the last, the flag of Germany :
Plot surface: 6193 m²
Total building area: 9216 m²
Maximum height: 54.4 meters
The flag of Germany is a temporary building, the choice of materials and construction methods have been used, depending on its use and budget requirements. The roof was designed to also cast its shadow in the area to fresh air. Its structure consists of a large elliptical ring, suspended by cables to a mast that angled through it. Other guys anchor it firmly to the ground.
Pavilion has a crosslinked structure, which relies on steel frames, this frame very rigid literally envelops the building on three sides and its interior houses in various facilities. This "wall art" is almost invisible from the outside.
The ground floor and first floor exhibition space, with a steel frame and very light soils in trapezoidal plates.
The facade overlooking the courtyard consists of orthogonal lattice of steel cables placed diagonally, which support inside the polycarbonate sheets.
the third floor is the panoramic restaurant, the area reserved for VIPs and the offices of Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner "flag".
The building is fully air conditioned.
In turn the 3D model ... this time, very simple ... but only for lack of documentation ;-)
Now the big project has been modeled, but it remains among all urban development to be constructed, which allowed pergolas to queue ... in the shade, and vegetation.
Next came the textures of course! and visitors ...
and I forgot ... the gondola of Expo '92, which passes over the road to the Discoveries, between Avenue of Europe and the flag of Spain!
