The Green Vitra

The design and concept of the green vitra was addressed in a way that represented as if time had passed pushing apart the main structure of the building. It achieves the symbolism in a much less destructive way by making use of the surrounding grassed area in order to combine the abstract forms into the natural surrounding landscape. The newly designed Vitra also incorporates new ‘green’ building innovations and technology in order to have much less of an impact on the environment.

The ‘Green Vitra’ is to be a new research centre into new innovations in order to make the construction industry less wasteful and better for the environment. With ‘green’ thinking as the buildings use the construction of it also intends to highlight the many different building techniques and technologies that can be incorporated into the building in order to decrease their dependence on external water and electricity supplies.

The design will also decrease the carbon footprint of surrounding buildings. The building also has sloped rises allowing the building to be walked on top of. By doing this the ‘green vitra’ can also be considered as a community park as well as having its desired use as a ‘green’ research centre. The area surrounding is landscaped with hardy Australian native plants which then decrease the need for water when it has not rained in quiet a long time.

Green roof –

The roof of the newly designed ‘Green Vitra’ has all the entire roof of the building and slopes covered completely in vegetation (grass). The green roof system incorporates a few layers firstly starting with the waterproofing membrane it then has a root barrier as well and drainage and irrigation systems to deal with the water that the soil absorbs.

Green roofs serve many different purposes in which they provide excellent insulation by reducing the heating and cooling to buildings as well as absorbing rainwater that would usually be sent to a gutter and ultimately sent down the drain as run off. They also can be altered to be agricultural space in order to grow different vegetation for the cultivation of food. The roof also filters carbon dioxide and pollutants out of the air as well as insulates the building for sound which would be perfect for the desired use as a research centre.

Solar Powered Shade Roof –

The Incorporation of a controllable rotating metal solar roof (Solar Petals) being a aesthetic design feature to the building (resembling petals of a flower) also allows the Green Vitra to have a surplus of energy generated that is then able to be sold back to the electrical grid. The roof is also movable during the day time to have different areas shaded by the sun whenever necessary. The addition of the solar petals also allows for the collection of vast quantities of water in the water tank that is located on the roof of the structure.

With the surrounding area of the Green Vitra being landscaped a portion of the water is used as a water feature that then drips down like a waterfall from the water tank off the roof to a pool that is then pumped back up to the top using energy generated from the solar panels.

Vitra Re-Envisioned Montage and Idea

Vitra Design Museum - Re-Envisioned -

For the re-envisioned design of the Vitra Design Museum I will be turning the museum into a 'green building'. This shall involve the changing of the structure to incorporate alot of plants and tree's within the buildings crevices and openings. Tree's and their roots which are renowned for moving building foundations and damaging structures shall be used to reverse the effects made by un-natural manmade objects.

I will use this symbolism of nature reversing the effects man makes on the physical world but in a less destructive way by opening the building for these natural elements. It shall exude as if time has passed and nature has been able to run wild and re-shape the building in an organic way. A large grass sloped roof shall be on the top of the building that will be walkable and blend into the surrounding area.

Textures & Inspiration

Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall

The Walt Disney Concert hall located in Los Angeles, California was created for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lillian Disney, wife of the late Walt Disney donated fifty million dollars for the hall in memory of her husband. There was a design competition that was ultimately won by Gehry.

The design of the building was to address three main principal objectives. To provide the best possible acoustic environment for the orchestra, to provide a close connection between the musicians and the audience and to create a visionary building reflecting the culture, character and climate of the city of Los Angeles.

The many prototype designs conceived by Frank Gehry.

The criteria called for a 2,400 seat concert hall, a chamber music hall, a large foyer space for informal performances and civic gatherings and an underground parking area. With Gehry’s interpretation of acoustical parameters set out in the criteria he decided to have a hall configured to be a series of smaller rooms that focused towards the orchestra with seats sorrounding the stage.

The design of the outside of the building was representive of what he had created on the inside. It consisted of being a layered sculptural form of limestone rotated on the site to bend the symmetrical axis of the music centre toward the museum of contempary art. The entrance to the building was located off an urban plaza on Grand Avenue and linked to the Music Centre by a pedestrian bridge over First St.

Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, addressed all the issues in the criteria set out by the client in an amazing way which pushed the boundaries on what is possible in the world of Architecture. The building is now a world famous building and a landmark of the city of Los Angeles.
