At Þingvellir‘s visitor centre, Hakið, visitors are now invited on a journey through history and nature. At first they get to look into a long gone past through immersive and interactive experiences. Thereafter visitors get the opportunity to explore the nature of the area in a fun way. Before heading back out to the nature some future scenarios are drawn up so visitors are left with thought-provoking questions.

The Brief; -

 

Happy Valley is a generously proportioned 1930’s residence sitting within beautifully landscaped 4 acres of grounds. Our brief was to design a penthouse over the existing building to maximise the views over the grounds and provide a gallery space for pieces of contemporary art and furniture.

 

The Design; -

 

Our solution was to design a light-weight steel framed structure with an over-sailing eaves detail to provide solar shading to the extensively glazed garden facing elevation. The glazed section affords uninterrupted views across the landscaped grounds and into the countryside beyond. The glazing itself is highly engineered to reduce heat loss, solar gain and is also self cleaning to reduce maintenance. The existing stair has been extended with glass and stainless steel, above which a glass-vaulted roof transmits light into the core of the building via the stairwell.

 

Proportions of the penthouse have been carefully designed in order that it does not dominate the existing architecture. The horizontal proportions of the penthouse have been accentuated to harmonize with the horizontal banding of the main building whilst preserving the integrity of the existing architecture by allowing it to be easily defined.

 

The penthouse encloses 76M2 of internal space with two external sun terraces to enjoy during summer.

 

Internally, the gallery space is equipped with discreet adjustable lighting, a recessed track for hanging panels and a recessed picture rail on the wall for hanging artwork.

 

Works are due to commence on site in March 2011 and due to complete in June 2011

Bereich "Unter Wasser": Informationen zu den Wanderfischen Aal und Lachs, zu Fischarten in der Mosel und Schaufenster zum Fischpass

 

Einweihung des neuen Fischpasses und des Besucherzentrums "Mosellum" an der Moselstaustufe in Koblenz am 29.9.2011.

 

Die Anlage ist die erste von insgesamt zehn geplanten Fischtreppen im deutschen Teil der Mosel. Wanderfische wie Aale oder Lachse können jetzt problemlos vom Rhein flussaufwärts in die Mosel gelangen.

 

Die Fischwechselanlage ist ein erster Schritt, um die Durchgängigkeit der Bundeswasserstraßen für Fische wieder herzustellen. Beim Bau von Wasserkraft- und Schleusenanlagen waren in der Vergangenheit die Bedürfnisse der Flussfauna nachrangig. Für Fische sind die Wanderungen zu ihren Laichplätzen flussaufwärts jedoch lebensnotwendig, so dass die neue Fischtreppe einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Artenschutz darstellt. Auch fordert die europäische Wasserrahmenrichtlinie die Wiederherstellung der Durchgängigkeit von Fließgewässern.

 

Die Mosel spielt eine besondere Rolle, da sie und ihre Nebengewässer im Einzugsgebiet des Rheins die größten Laich- und Jungfischhabitate aufweisen. In den Jahren 1958 bis 1964 war der Fluss zu einer Schifffahrtsstraße mit 14 Staustufen ausgebaut und

damit wandernden Fischen versperrt worden.

 

Das Bundesverkehrsministerium finanziert die Fischtreppen an der Mosel als naturschutzrechtliche Ausgleichsmaßnahmen für den aktuellen Ausbau der Mosel-Staustufen um zweite Schleusenkammern. 5,3 Millionen Euro hat allein die Erneuerung des Fischpasses Koblenz gekostet, der mit seinen 39 Becken eine Höhendifferenz von 6,5 Metern überwindet.

 

Bei der Anlage handelt es sich um eine der modernsten und aufwändigsten bundesweit: Sie ist mit einer Überwachungskamera ausgestattet, die auf- und abwanderungswillige Fische aufzeichnet. In einer Fang- und Zählanlage können Fische vorübergehend unter

wissenschaftliche Beobachtung gestellt werden. Außerdem wurde in den Fischpass eine Turbine eingebaut, die den Strom für das Besucherzentrum "Mosellum" produziert.

 

Im Besucherzentrum kann man hautnah erleben, wie Gewässerökologie, Schifffahrt und Wasserkraft zusammenhängen. Auf mehreren Etagen

machen interaktive Ausstellungselemente die Mosel, ihre Landschaft und die Fischwelt lebendig. Durch drei Fenster im Untergeschoss blicken die Besucher direkt in den Fischpass hinein und können mit etwas Glück die Fische beim Durchqueren der Fischtreppe beobachten.

 

Das energieautarke und hochwasserangepasste Gebäude ist mit seinem geschwungenen Dach und der an Fischschuppen erinnernden Fassade ein attraktiver Blickfang. 2,4 Millionen Euro hat das Land in den Bau investiert.

Natural History Museum of Utah. The Rio Tinto Center, in the University of Utah's Research Park 301 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City. Photograph by James Russiello, November 11, 2017

 

The Rio Tinto Center is a 163,000-square-foot building set in foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. The building's highest point is a round structure on the back or east side which houses the Native Voices gallery. The architects for the building that opened in 2011 were Ennead Architects from New York City and GSBS of Salt Lake City. Ralph Appelbaum Associates designed the exhibits.

 

"The museum was conceived in 1959, when the University of Utah faculty committee decided to consolidate natural history collections from around its campus. The museum was established as the Utah Museum of Natural History on the University of Utah campus in 1963 by the Utah State Legislature. It opened in 1969 in the former George Thomas Library and included specimens from the Deseret Museum as well as from the Charles Nettleton Strevell Museum that was located in the old Lafayette School on South Temple Street from 1939 until 1947.

 

"The paleontology collections acquired a very important amount of new collected specimens during the 1960s, particularly fossilised remains of dinosaurs. It all began when a young local paleontologist called James Henry Madsen Jr. obtained his Master of Science in 1959 in the University of Utah. The following year, as of 1960, Madsen was hired as an assistant for Professor William Lee Stokes of the Princeton University, who at that time performed the dauntless project to extensively dig the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. Since the 1920s it had been firmly established by geologists that this quarry is one of the most important paleontological sites ever found in the United States, and still in the early 1960s literally tens of thousands of disarticulated dinosaur bones were buried in the rock, awaiting to be excavated. Because the bone bed was so vast and contained a so huge quantity of fossilised bones (mainly from Allosaurus fragilis), it seemed obvious to Stokes and Madsen that it was literally impossible for a single unique institution to dig up a number of specimens being realistically representative of the overall total. To accomplish this task, or at least a reasonable part of it, Stokes and Madsen founded the "University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project," thank to initial funds allowed by the University of Utah and its Department of Geology. This project worked 16 years during in close collaboration not only with museums and institutions within the USA but also with prestigious international museums and research centers. Since financial assistance was brought by all the institutions who had participated in the project, the Dinosaur Project granted them casts or even original composite specimens of the dinosaurs found in the quarry.

 

"In the running time of the "Cooperative Dinosaur Project" (from 1960 to 1976), literally tons of fossilised bones were dug up from the quarry, numerous remains of species as famous as Camarasaurus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Stegosaurus and, of course, Allosaurus, among others (Allosaurus is by far the most represented species, with 44-46 individuals found). In addition of these already known species, two new species were discovered and named: Stokesosaurus (in 1974) and Marshosaurus (in 1976), whose holotypes are preciously preserved in the Natural History Museum of Utah. In 1976 the University of Utah stopped the project. To continue financing his research, Madsen founded Dinolab, a company that casted and sold skeletons of dinosaurs to museums, institutions or private buyers. Madsen died in 2009 and Dinolab disappeared in 2014, but thank to the "University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project" and Madsen's excavations in the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry back in the 1960s and 1970s, the Natural History Museum of Utah possesses nowadays on display the biggest collection in the world of Allosaurus skeletons, among some additional dinosaur skeletal mounts belonging to other species."
