Sagrada Familia u opasnosti
Uz rizik da nas se proglasi retrogradnim mrziteljima napretka, apeliramo
zajedno s milijunima drugih da se promijeni trasa brze željeznice
koja bi povezivala dva
najveća španjolska grada –
Madrid i Barcelonu. Naime,
tračnice buduće španjolske
prometne kucavice inženjeri
bi trebali smjestiti u
podzemlje na tek četiri metra
udaljenosti od Sagrade
Familije, najpoznatijeg djela
slavnoga katalonskog
arhitekta Antonija Gaudija
i jedne od najposjećenijih
znamenitosti Barcelone,
pod zaštitom UNESCO-a.
Čini se da su se projektanti
željeznice posebno obrušili
na Gaudija jer je trasom ugrožena i njegova kuća Mila, ali i još neki
spomenici kulture u Barceloni.
Na dokovima Middlesbrougha
Ono što su nekoć bili neugledni dokovi engleskoga grada
Middlesbrougha, po projektu nagrađivanog arhitekta Willa
Alsopa bit će prostor najmodernijeg stanovanja na Otoku.
Razvojna studija nazvana Middlehaven obuhvaća 750 domova,
uz poslovne prostore te prostore uslužnih djelatnosti – od
hotela do barova, a opisuje se kao kombinacija čuda moderne
arhitekture i visokih standarda u održivom stanovanju. Gradnja
bi trebala početi već do kraja ove godine.

Sagrada Familia
in Danger
Accepting the risk that we are declared retrograde
haters of progress, we are asking,
along with millions of other people, for the
change of route of the fast railroad track that
would connect two largest Spanish cities
– Madrid and Barcelona. That’s because the
railways of this future Spanish traffic central
point are designed to be placed underground,
just four metres away from Sagrada
Familia, which is the most famous creation of
renowned Catalane architect Antonio Gaudio
and one of Barcelona’s most visited sights,
and it is under UNESCO’s protection. It seems
that the railroad planners have a special grudge against Gaudio because
the route puts his house Mila under jeopardy as well, and the
same goes for several other cultural monuments in Barcelona.
Zračna luka za hadž
Još jedan Koolhaasov projekt zaintrigirao je javnost: ideja nove
zračne luke u Jeddi u Saudijskoj Arabiji kreće se oko jednoga središnjeg
događaja – hadža u Meku, koji na aerodrom u Jeddu svake
godine u isto vrijeme nanese i po dva milijuna muslimanskih hodočasnika.
Za razliku od standardnih projekata aerodroma, gdje
se uvijek barata s pretpostavljenim brojem putnika jednoga dana,
obvezni kapaciteti za novi saudijski ponos otprve su poznati, što je
studiju OMA olakšalo zadatak. Rezultat je cirkularan, ornamentaran
aerodrom, s naglaskom na one koji dolaze, a ne odlaze, te “pomoćnim”
dijelom koji će biti u funkciji samo tijekom hadža.

On the Docks
of Middlesbrough
What once used to be plain-looking docks in the English city of
Middlesbrough, according to a project by much-awarded architect
Will Alsop, will now be turned into the most modern residential
area in Britain. The development study called Middlehaven
encompasses 750 homes, along with business premises
and facilities of the service industry – from hotels to bars, and
it is described as the combination of the modern architecture’s
miracle and high standards of maintainable residence. The
construction process could begin before the year is over.
An Airport for the Pilgrimage
Another Koolhaas’s project has intrigued the public: an idea for a
new airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that would be revolved around
one central event – the pilgrimage into Mecca, which attracts up
to two million Muslim pilgrims into the Jeddah Airport in the same
period of every year. Unlike the standard airport projects where
you’re always working with an assumed number of travellers per
day, mandatory capacities for this new Saudi pride are immediately
known, which made OMA’s work a lot easier. This resulted in a
circular and ornamental airport, which emphasizes those who are
arriving instead of leaving, and which features an assistant section
that will be in function solely during the pilgrimage.
