Museu Blau, Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, Spain
Architects: Herzog & de Meuron, project 2009-2010, realization 2010-2012
Relocating the Museum of Natural Sciences into the Forum Barcelona building signals the beginning of a new life cycle for both institutions: one where each mutually benefits from the space, program and potential of the other. With its large exterior and interior spaces and its reference to natural processes and shapes, the architecture of the Forum is a particularly appropriate new home for the relocated Museum. And the Museum of Natural Science promises to energetically revitalise the existing building, replacing vacant space with intense new public activities.
The open public space that marks the approach from the Diagonal and extends under the triangular body of the building is now diversified and activated, engaging with the life of the city. The corner addressing the city centre retains its function as the main public approach. This is enhanced by the three existing pavilions which are reconfigured to provide meeting places for groups and general information along the approach to the museum entrance. The second corner, further along the Diagonal is enlivened with lush external planting and the basin under the water patio. And finally, the corner addressing the sea is activated by a new exterior dining area for students and groups, adjacent to a bar which opens onto the plaza. The interior of the elevated triangular building, which is like a vast interior landscape, structured by patios, creates a specific space well suited to an exhibition of Natural science and to the Museum’s demand for growth and need to display more of its outstanding collection.
Architecture and Museography
The core of the Museum is its permanent exhibition. This consists of an outstanding collection of rocks and minerals, taxidermy, microbes, plants and herbariums, meteorites, scientific drawings, diagrams, fossils and skeletons, sounds and dioramas, gathered together over centuries in Barcelona. The exhibition consists of elements from the permanent collection structured around the concept of Gaia – the idea of a living planet which forms and is, in turn, transformed by life.
This exhibition arrangement follows the logic of the existing space and at the same time radically transforms it. It frees the visitor to explore any number of individual routes while still ensuring an overall logical sequence. It also extends into the museum lobby, where the main stair and the dramatically hung whale skeleton forms the central arrival and departure point for all public programs, including shop, restaurant, media library, classrooms, event spaces and temporary exhibition, as well as administration and support areas. The lobby extends down to the plaza connecting to the large covered public space of the Museu Blau, allowing for the visitor to invigorate the rapidly developing area where the Diagonal reaches the sea.

Relocating Locality by LASALLE College of the Arts, McNally School of Fine Arts | Singapore
Relocating Locality takes the form of a series of interlocking pavilions, made by materials such as wood and bamboo, amongst other found objects. By re-situating the familiar elements of fixtures from the heartlands into the manicured city centre, the work juxtaposes the DIY pavilions against the cityscape. Adding extra dimension and lending contrast to their surrounding polished environment through revealing the materials in their raw forms, the works act as mediators between the urban and the natural found in between the gaps.
About the Artist
Named after LASALLE’s founder the late Brother Joseph McNally, the McNally School of Fine Arts offers contemporary practice and research-based programmes at the Diploma, BA(Hons) and MA levels. It is focused on redefining the milieu of artistic research dedicated to Southeast Asia, and our position in the world of contemporary art.
From sculpture, printmaking, drawing, installation and photography to technology-based art, performance art, interdisciplinary art, as well as critical studies in art history and art theory, our programmes are imbued with an innovative and interdisciplinary structure, designed to provide students with a transformative learning experience that awakens their artistic potential and develops their critical stance.

Back to Christchurch for a while to catch up on some photos I have been taken lately of our city and its re-build.
July 7, 2013 Christchurch New Zealand.
A little wooden church built in Lyttelton 130 years ago is about to head on its final journey, right back home.
The St Saviour's Chapel was moved from the port township to the Cathedral Grammar School in 1976, and would have stayed had it not been severely damaged in the February 2011 earthquake.
Deemed too expensive to repair, it was written off by insurers and the school paid out.
However, rather than demolish a historic Anglican church, school headmaster Paul Kennedy asked Bishop Victoria Matthews if they could instead donate it to someone willing to restore it.
She "quite rightly agreed it will go back to Lyttelton", Kennedy said.
It will be placed on the site of Lyttelton's now-demolished Holy Trinity Church, which was Canterbury's oldest stone church, in Winchester St - less than a kilometre from its original site on the corner of Brittan Tce and Simeon Quay.
Preparation for the relocation starts this week, with the move expected to take six to eight weeks.
Restoration plans are still awaiting signoff from the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch church property trustees.
However, Holy Trinity Church vicar Neil Struthers hopes to raise funds and have the project completed by Christmas next year.
Struthers said it needed to raise about $785,000, with the total project estimated to be $2.38 million.
"My pragmatic side says it's a waste of money but my emotional side [says] I'm delighted we're getting something historic back that has once been part of our community and will be again," he said.
"It's just wonderful. This is like a new beginning for us."
Once complete, the church will be called St Saviour's at Trinity.
Kennedy said a new chapel would be built at the school as part of a campus-wide redevelopment.
