*아부다비 센트럴 마켓 [ Foster + Partners ] Aldar Central Market

아부다비 센트럴 마켓 프로젝트는 지속가능한 건축을 지향한다. 이는 지역기후에 대한 적극적인 건축환경에 투영, 지역 건축(역사적 문화가 반영된) 및 문화의 재해석을 통해 재정의된 디자인으로 승화된다. 아부다비에서 가장 오래된 지역 중 하나로 센트럴 마켓의 중요성은 상업, 쇼핑을 위한 중심경제거점으로 재개발, 국제적인 쇼핑몰로 제안된다. 포스터+파트너스가 제안하는 쇼핑공간은 럭셔리 상품과 푸드 그리고 각종 공예품을 판매하는 상공간을 넘어서 다양한 이벤트와 문화행사를 지원하는 컬처 노드포인트로 디자인된다. 지역의 고유한 패턴-건축가에 의해 재해석된- 은 외부 직사광선의 유입을 방지하는 필터로 자연환기를 유도하는 통로로 사용, 내부에 쾌적한 거주환경을 보장한다.

Abu Dhabi’s Central Market is one of the oldest sites in the city.

By offering an alternative to the globalised one-size-fits-all shopping mall, the project designed by Foster + Partners offers a distinctive modern interpretation of the regional vernacular.

As a shopping experience it combines luxury goods boutiques with food markets and craft-based trades. Like the traditional souk, these different experiences are brought together in an interior architecture of dappled sunlight, bright colours and fountains, with a changing rhythm of squares, courtyards and alley ways.

For up to six months of the year the climate is very pleasant – comfortable enough to stroll and sit outside. That has inspired a sequence of public routes and squares in which the barriers between inside and outside are dissolved. Open at night as well as during the day, these new spaces provide an important central venue in the city during festivals and celebrations and are cooled naturally when conditions allow.

For the remainder of the year, the spaces can be enclosed by roof panels that slide into place to enable the internal environment to be controlled more closely. The perforations in the roof and interior panels – a pattern developed with a scholar of Islamic arts – continue outside, wrapping the podium building in a textured facade. The design of the panels is based on octagonal forms, which reference both traditional zellij tilework and more recent research into mathematical geometry.

Continuing the greenery of Abu Dhabi, the site is generously landscaped, the roofs of the podium buildings forming a series of terraced gardens.

Rising above this dense, close-grained ‘mat’ is a cluster of tall buildings, which vary in height and massing depending on whether they contain offices, apartments or a combination of a hotel and serviced apartments.

Visually they form a family, with smooth, reflective facades designed to need little maintenance in this dusty desert environment. Layers of internal shading on the towers control glare and solar gain.
