*우주정거장에서 모티브를,빙글빙글 회전나사 컬쳐센터 [ sadar+vuga ] Cultural Center of EU Space Technologies (KSEVT)

유럽 우주기술 컬쳐센터는 슬로베니아 Vitanje 지역의 아트센터로 지역적

문화교류와 사회활동을 제공하는 장소로 계획되었습니다.

-일반적인 공용공간의 장으로써 활용되는 컬쳐센터는 소셜, 문화, 과학활동, 임시전시와

컨퍼런스 그리고 클럽/스터디 활동 등의 다양한 활동을 지원하게 됩니다.-

건축물의 컨셉디자인은 Noordung's 1929 book 에서

서술된 첫번째 정지 인공위성을 모티브로 3개의 파트로 다음과 같이 구성됩니다;

태양광 발전 스테이션, 전망 스페이스, 거주를 위한 휠 스페이스

이렇게 시작된 빌딩의 모놀리틱 콘크리트 구조물은 메인 도로와 풍부한

자연환경 속에 위치하며 건축물의 내외부를 연결하는 낮은 두개의 실린더 형태로 구축됩니다.

그중 저층부에 위치한 실린더는 북측에서 남측방향으로 휘감아 돌아 올라가면 점점 거대해집니다.

여기에 상층부에 위치한 실린더는 반대방향으로 돌아 내려가며 작아지고, 곧 남측에

거대해진 실린더와 병합되어 집니다. 거대한 뱀 두마리가 위아래로 또아리를 틀어 만나듯이...

이와같이 다이나믹한 볼륨의 형태는 투명한 하단부와 극적인 대비를 이루며

부양 및 회전하는 반중력상태를 보여줍니다.

반중력 상태의 역동감은 컬쳐센터의 이미지를 결정짓는 중요한 요소로

풍요로운 자연 속 새로운 심볼로 자리 잡습니다.

The Cultural Center of European Space Technologies (KSEVT) will supplement the cultural and social activities of the Arts Center in Vitanje, the town in Slovenia that was home to Herman Potocnik Noordung, the first theoretician of space.

The concept design for the building of the KSEVT derives from the habitation wheel of the first geostationary space station described in Noordung's 1929 book. It will have a public significance and generate social, cultural, and scientific activities, with fixed and temporary exhibitions, conferences and club/study activities.

Noordnung's space station was designed as a geostationary satellite out of three parts: a solar power station, an observatory and a habitable wheel. After several decades of ponderings on the habitation of space, this idea remains to be the most revolutionary, yet not realized. The rotating habitable wheel, a circular construction setting up artificial gravity with the centrifugal force, is the best and at the same time a simple solution for long-term human habitation of weightlessness. Since we are not accustomed to that kind of condition, it exerts negative influence upon our body in the long run. A station in this orbit could also represent a perfect point of departure for longer spaceflights, considering that the Earth's force of attraction is still the greatest obstacle for that.

The building is a monolithic concrete structure, positioned freely between a main road on one side and a stream with a green hinterland on the other. The exterior and interior of the building are made of two low cylinders. The bottom one is larger and rises from the North to the South, while the upper cylinder is smaller and joins the larger one on the south while rising to the North. The bottom cylinder is supported by the transparent surface of the entrance glazing.

From the exterior, there is a dynamic effect between the cylinders, accentuated by the full glass rings around the building. The building appears to float and rotate on its southern and western sides towards the road. The entrenchment of the building into the surface on the other side gives a connection to its immediate surroundings. The spatial effects give the building the effect of artificial gravity from floatation and rotation. The building has two entrances- a main one to the central space from the square in front of the building on the south-eastern side and the northern entrance from the gravel surface above the stream.

The main entrance covers the overhanging part of the bottom cylinder: one passes through a tight space past a circular vestibule and into the interior of the hall. The vestibule can be separated from the activities in the hall by a curtain. The entrance glazing can be completely opened and can connect the activities in the hall with the square. The circular hall for 300 people is surrounded on both sides by a semicircular ramp. This denotes the beginning of the exhibition area, continuing from here to the overhanging part of the larger cylinder.

On the west, there are smaller office areas along the ramp. Ascending this ramp also represents a transition from the bright space of the hall to the dark exhibition area. The vertical connection with a staircase and large elevator connects the exhibition area directly to the vestibule of the hall. The exhibition space continues through the landing between the elevator and the staircase to the smaller cylinder, the multi-purpose hall, and a raised auditorium above the hall. From here, one can observe the activity below. The smaller cylinder is concluded at the highest, northernmost portion with a club area devoted to researchers of the history of space technology, where they can focus on their work aside from the activities below.

Besides special programme and location also collaboration of four architectural offices in developing the project is unique. The idea of collaboration raised on the first meeting where investor invited the four offices to collaborate on internal competition – and office principals decided to actually rather do the project together. The idea concepts came out on serious of workshops, later project was shared in different stages of development between all offices.
