Utrecht University Library – Wiel Arets Architects

Size: 36.250 m2 - Design: 1997-2001 - Completion: 2004

 

The library, which houses 4.2 million books, was intended, in addition to being a place where people could work in a concentrated manner, to also become the intellectual social center for the suburban university campus, where students and others can come to study and meet at all times of the day. The 40 meter tall library and the adjacent, lower parking garage, both clad in glass and concrete imprinted with the same silk-screened figurative pattern, are sited on the major road and pedestrian pathway across the campus. The simple rectangular massing of the library and the repetitive rhythm of its concrete cladding and glazing, which is subtly modulated by the projecting operable sections, stands in stark contrast to the rich, plastic spatial complexity of the interior spaces.

 

The books are stored in two primary volumes that seem to float up towards the ceiling. The massive, lifted book stack volumes are made of black-painted cast concrete, and the walls have a three-dimensional figural pattern cast into them which matches the two-dimensional pattern imprinted on the exterior glazing. While the black pattern on the glazing filters the natural light entering the building, the pattern embossed in the black-colored concrete walls acts to diffuse and bounce the light deeper into the interior spaces. At the center of the building, a vertical space, running from the ground to the roof, is opened between the two book stack volumes, which are interconnected by a series of stairs and sloping ramps. This central vertical space forms the experiential hinge of the building, interweaving the lines of movement, the spatial layers, and the internal views.

 

The walls and ceilings of the interior are black and matt, while the floors are white and shiny. The bookshelves are black, while the worktables are white. The predominant black color characterizing the interior is critical to creating the atmosphere of concentration, security, and silent communication essential to the function of the library. The black interior creates a feeling of local enclosure, allowing the inhabitants to conduct the private activity of concentrated study in a public place of collective identity. The only exceptions to this color scheme are the red rubber surfaces used in the book checkout area, the information desks, the auditorium, the bar, and the lounge, all of which are related to the itinerary of public movement through the building.

 

The individual workspaces are organized in a wide variety of locations and arrangements within the interior, some quite intimate and isolated, and some quite extended and exposed. The individual user can make a choice of where to work, and thus to determine both their ability to be absorbed in their work, and the amount of communication they wish to have with others in the library. Because of the remarkably rich range of sizes and shapes of the workplaces, and the complexly layered sections and the endlessly unfolding spatial intersections within the building, it is possible to recognize and communicate visually with people across the interior, and even from floor to floor, while at the same time being undisturbed by those sitting nearby.

Getting closer to being done with her now. I'm at the detailing stage and I'm having a lot of fun.

 

After working on this little sea princess I want one of my own. Oh well, maybe one day!

Getting ready for all those models coming out of storage. This is the only table I have to work on them, unfortunately, so I am going to have to get a different surface to protect it. But, it will work out fine. It's going to be a big job to get out all that stuff from storage and organize it, but, yeah, I'm excited. It's been way too long.

Utrecht University Library – Wiel Arets Architects

Size: 36.250 m2 - Design: 1997-2001 - Completion: 2004

 

The library, which houses 4.2 million books, was intended, in addition to being a place where people could work in a concentrated manner, to also become the intellectual social center for the suburban university campus, where students and others can come to study and meet at all times of the day. The 40 meter tall library and the adjacent, lower parking garage, both clad in glass and concrete imprinted with the same silk-screened figurative pattern, are sited on the major road and pedestrian pathway across the campus. The simple rectangular massing of the library and the repetitive rhythm of its concrete cladding and glazing, which is subtly modulated by the projecting operable sections, stands in stark contrast to the rich, plastic spatial complexity of the interior spaces.

 

The books are stored in two primary volumes that seem to float up towards the ceiling. The massive, lifted book stack volumes are made of black-painted cast concrete, and the walls have a three-dimensional figural pattern cast into them which matches the two-dimensional pattern imprinted on the exterior glazing. While the black pattern on the glazing filters the natural light entering the building, the pattern embossed in the black-colored concrete walls acts to diffuse and bounce the light deeper into the interior spaces. At the center of the building, a vertical space, running from the ground to the roof, is opened between the two book stack volumes, which are interconnected by a series of stairs and sloping ramps. This central vertical space forms the experiential hinge of the building, interweaving the lines of movement, the spatial layers, and the internal views.

 

The walls and ceilings of the interior are black and matt, while the floors are white and shiny. The bookshelves are black, while the worktables are white. The predominant black color characterizing the interior is critical to creating the atmosphere of concentration, security, and silent communication essential to the function of the library. The black interior creates a feeling of local enclosure, allowing the inhabitants to conduct the private activity of concentrated study in a public place of collective identity. The only exceptions to this color scheme are the red rubber surfaces used in the book checkout area, the information desks, the auditorium, the bar, and the lounge, all of which are related to the itinerary of public movement through the building.

 

The individual workspaces are organized in a wide variety of locations and arrangements within the interior, some quite intimate and isolated, and some quite extended and exposed. The individual user can make a choice of where to work, and thus to determine both their ability to be absorbed in their work, and the amount of communication they wish to have with others in the library. Because of the remarkably rich range of sizes and shapes of the workplaces, and the complexly layered sections and the endlessly unfolding spatial intersections within the building, it is possible to recognize and communicate visually with people across the interior, and even from floor to floor, while at the same time being undisturbed by those sitting nearby.

still have lots to do. Hang ribbon holder and bboard. and I have this rolling table under the side of the round one - I t most of my papers in there but I still need to find a beter paper storage plan! I have triend many ways and none work well. Maybe I just need to use more paper up....

Ok, I think the inspiration for this piece must have come from some amazing magnets purchased from fellow Etsy artist janedean who is a whiz at working with vintage jewelry. I gained new respect for her and the other artists who de-and re-construct with these elements. You all make it look easy!

The starting place for this piece was a bag of gorgeous vintage jewelry scraps I had lying on my worktable. To begin, I riveted the octo down to a newish filigree capturing the rhinestone "halo". Wings were also riveted into place. Then it was a matter of drilling into the tentacles to hold various blingy dangles. For the chain, I cut a vintage bracelet in half to create the pearl-punctuated section, then finished off with a similar vintage chain. A safety lobster clasp secures the piece. The centerpiece measures 2.5"wide by 4.5" long and the chain length is 18". I am a trained, if somewhat blingy silversmith and have built this piece to last.

CONCEPT / IDEATION Chose a metaphor of Urban Jungle to come up with an unique product form

This project was a small attempt to interpret Urban Landscape in a positive sense. Urbanization is a glittering representation of growth, affluence and success of mankind. This same can be said of the man behind the CEO’S desk. The glass of top quality is manufactured by a special process, which renders images of exclusivity, power and ability to stand apart. The understructure brings forth images of urban architecture in the form of structural elements symbolizing sprawling modern architecture, skyscrapers, freeways, and background chaos.

WORK TOP: MATERIAL : Special glass which imparts warm feeling at the same time renders images of exclusivity.

PROCESS:Molten glass laid in Layers, with colour frit formed rendering at each layer, to create a depth.

UNDERSTRUCTURE:MATERIAL : Aluminum and Titanium

PROCESS:Investment Casting

SURFACE FINISH:BLACK ANODIZED

For myself more than anything, I have started to take a few snaps of the week...on days when I feel as though I'm accomplishing nothing, maybe this will encourage me.

Sunday I made a bunch of stacks, some, not yet cut into, shown. Each day since (3 so far) I've taken a stack and done something...

A couple of the stacks are really ugly but marbelized into yummy burgundy and port pieces ....

Will have to see where the rest goes.

Am eyeing the bits lower right that might go with vintage Italian millefiore glass beads.

One bunch, not shown here coordinates gorgeously with unakite.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

Welcome to the Shire. The starting and ending point of the famous books and films “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”.

It is a perfect place to relax, read and fill your hobbit stomach with plenty of delicious food.

The Hobbit hole consists of 5 different rooms. A nice kitchen with a big table, a full storage chamber, a cosy living room with a fireplace and a worktable, an entrance room to welcome invited and uninvited guests and like all hobbit holes it has a round tunnel that connects the rooms.

I would suggest that it would include the minifigures: Frodo, Sam, Bilbo, the 13 dwarves and of course Gandalf.

  

Please support this creation and help it to become an official Lego Set.

Remember, it doesn’t cost you anything and you would do me a big favour.
