*비아지, 노틀담 성당을 아답타하는 연구센터 계획안 [ BIG and OFF ] Research Centre for Université Pierre et Marie Curie

어반 컨텍스트를 찾아 그것을 관계성에 따라
순서대로 배열한다. 그리고 그 관계에서 형성되는 공간들은
비즈니스 센터가 되고 아카데미 컬쳐센터가 된다.
지리적으로 커다란 3개의 영역을 연결하는 아답타와 같은
연구센터는 물리적으로는 오픈스페이스인 전면광장과 공원을
연결하는 주요한 동선을 제공하며
역사적으로 유명한 노틀담성당과 대학교 건물사이에 위치하여
상이한 두개의 볼륨을 공간으로 버퍼하여 준다.
서로 다른 관계성에서 발생하는 이질감은 공간을 비틀어
연구센터의 볼륨을 폴딩시킴으로써 건축적인 아이텐티를
만들어 준다. 이와 같은 물리적인 반응으로 구축된 형상은
대학교 건물과 옥상으로 연계되며 학교의 랜드마크로 디자인 된다.
향후 이 연구센터는 파리시를 대표하는 복합커뮤니티센터로써
아카데미와 비즈니스를 융합하는 장이 될 것이다.
언제나 봐도 비아지의 다이어그램은 힘이 있다.
부가적인 설명이 필요없다. 공간을 형성하는 볼륨의 크기와 형태는
이미 대지가 갖고 있다는 것을 비아지는 항상 잘 설명해준다.

BIG + Paris-based architects OFF, engineers Buro Happold, consultants Michel Forgue and environmental engineer Franck Boutte is the winning team to design the new 15.000 m2 research centre for Sorbonne’s Scientific university Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris.
The new multidisciplinary research centre, Paris PARC, located between Jean Nouvel’s Institut du Monde Arabe and the open green park of the Jussieu Campus will become a significant addition to the campus, strengthening the international appeal and openness of the leading French University for Science and Medicine.

The tilted glass facade reflects the famous Notre Dame Cathedral and surrounding Parisian skyline down into the surrounding square.

The centre will combine research and business with transparent walls between laboratories and offices, which will be visible from a public staircase leading to the rooftop terrace.

Light will filter to all floors through a central atrium containing informal meeting places.

BIG and OFF won the competition in collaboration with engineers Buro Happold, consultants Michel Forgue and environmental engineer Franck Boutte.

The facility will bring together academic scholars and the busi­ness community, while re-connecting the university physically and visually with the city of Paris. The winning team was honored as the best design among proposals from MVRDV, Lipsky Rollet, Mario Cucinella and Peripherique.

Paris PARC is located in the visual axis of the Notre Dame Cathedral in a dense context of university buildings from different historical periods. BIG proposes a building geometry that adapts to the specific conditions of all adjoining sides, optimized for daylight, views and accessibility.

The three-dimensional envelope retracts from the neighboring facades, opens up towards the square of Institut du Monde Arabe and the park, and folds into a publicly accessible rooftop landscape, resulting in an adapted sculptural building volume situated between the emblematic architectural monuments of the university.

“As a form of urban experiment the Paris PARC is the imprint of the pressures of its urban context. Wedged into a super dense context – in terms of space, public flows and architectural history – the PARC is conceived as a chain of reactions to the various external and internal forces acting upon it. Inflated to allow daylight and air to enter into the heart of the facility, compressed to ensure daylight and views for the neighboring classrooms and dormitories, lifted and decompressed to allow the public to enter from both plaza and park and finally tilted to reflect the spectacular view of the Paris skyline and the Notre Dame to the Parisians.” Bjarke Ingels, Founder, BIG.

A central canyon provides daylight and a visual connection between laboratories and offices. In the atrium a cascade of informal meeting spaces lead to the public rooftop terrace and faculty club.

A public stair to the rooftop offers glimpses into the activities of the laboratories which are divided by transparent walls throughout the building to ensure visual connections between the working spaces.

The upper levels have panoramic views towards the Notre Dame and the skyline of Paris.

“We propose a building that creates the optimum conditions for encounters and exchange among the academics and visitors of Paris PARC.

Like a scientific incubator the new building will provide the physical environment for nurturing growth of cultures and sharing of ideas – through the internal mix of laboratories, research facilities and informal meeting spaces, and through a reunification with the public life of the city.” Andreas Klok Pedersen, Partner-in-Charge, BIG.

The Paris PARC becomes the interface between campus life and city life by reuniting the Jussieu Campus with the city of Paris.

The iconic view of the Notre Dame Cathedral is brought into the daily life of the building through the large panoramic windows while the façade towards the entrance square is slightly tilted, hence, a mirrored image of the Cathedral becomes visible at eyelevel on the square, connecting the building to its iconic location.
