The Museum of Ethnology is designed based on the Hungarian folk. The

concept is inspired by the public market (Agora) where it gathered all
the people to the place for public announcement, readings, shows, expositions, etc.
Every people will feel the Museum as being a partial owner, although it
is private.

The museum shape is simple and strong. Everyone recognize the form
and it will work as a landmark to the city and to national level. Its
shape that refers to Yin and yang bid an extreme interaction between
outdoor and indoor spaces. It invites people for curiosity. Its location
on the border of the Park and City make it works as a transition to
both ways while creating a barrier to the Park. The building is divided
in two parts: a built part hosting Artifact collection/ human knowledge
archive; and an open part where people, functions and activities meets
to form a dynamic and vibrant space.
The contrast between the dense city and the park articulates a true
urban experience, and as such, the Museum of Ethnology also reflects
the diversity of its users.

The design of the new Guggenheim Museum is simple and strong to work
as a Landmark to the city. Its shape arise from the Genius Loci. The
bi-directional axis of the urban grid defines the twisted movement of the
volume. To mark the breathtaking panoramic views of the side, the Mus
um itself is a mutant piece of art. It frames all 3 churches on different
views, the panoramic views and changed its appearance on different a
gles. The museum provides therefore continuously free art to its environment.
A pedestrian bridge will welcome the visitors of the Thtitornin Vuori
Park to the esplanade, where it gathered all the people to the place
for outdoor seasonal programming and to the Museum. That will attract
and fill the area with dynamism to interact between indoor and outdoor.
The esplanade with its caf/bar is also accessible from the city-side by
stairs which can be used as seating tiers for performances. The retail
store is located on ground floor level at the city side while the restaurant is situated on the waterfront and will provide outdoor seating.

The Guggenheim Museum has an atypical

atrium running as an infinity loop throughout the building. It will support different
functions as exhibitions, performances, lectures, etc. The atrium of the vertical aisles
of the building has a slope with straight
walls revaluating the unique aspect of the
original Guggenheim Museum.
One vertical aisle will attend the exhibitions
of artists while the other aisle is reserved
as a center of education for research and
upcoming public artists such as students.
The platform that connects both aisle will
work as a social interaction between the
public and the artists. The upper horizontal
bar is dedicated to the main exposition of
the Guggenheim museum.

The Baltic Thermal Pool Park still offers a free view to the sea for
its surrounded citizens thanks to its volume perforated by spaces that
provides additional greenery parks to the building area. Visitors may
use those covered outside spaces all year round. They are sheltered to
rain and sunshine.
The building facade generate from the urban grid. Its material is of
co crete mixed with wood submerge itself to the natural environment
and reinforce the contrast between built and nature. It refers to the
remains of 19th century fortifications that are still found throughout
the city.
Its position offer a side in front of the beach and another in front of
the preserved Park area. The building shape is a rectangular bar that
contrast with the nature, determining the building area with the historic
preservation of the site. The use of heights provides more open views
to the sea. Its Yin and yang composition provide terraces on the cityside and on the beach-side.
All the roofs are accessible and provides sports facilities as tennis
court, beach volley, promenades and views.

The outdoor infinity pools is located on the first floor and is direct accessible from the rooms of that level with the view on it.
Its size make it possible to have a long continue swim parcours.
The building looks immerge in water as the ruins to find in the
area. The indoor pool is located central in the building for an
easy accessibility from the rooms.
The outdoor pools are notified from the lobbies (income hall) to
strongly mark the theme and facilities of the resort.
They are linked through an underwater seating pool-bar on the
second floor. The water falls into the pools.
Besides the view (sight), the feeling of the water by temper
tures (touch), the odor of the fresh seaside air (smell) and the
taste differs from the different ingredients in thermal pools
(taste), the falling water provide the fifth sense (hearing).

The CC H55 shape results of its location in the urban fabric and topographic area. It starts in a
movement as an extension from the peak-facade of the adjacent building towards the clock tower
of the church ending in a high peak. The roof structure of the CC H55 is an application of the
traditional character of the surrounding buildings with a contemporary touch of style. The high
peak refers to the highly gothic style of Prague, city of a hundred spires, and gives a dialogue
with the clock tower of the church.
The shape of the CC H55 is lowered in the middle to leave an open view to the garden from the
street level and give easily independent pedestrian access to the garden. The parabolic movement
provides the cellared level partially of natural light for daily use of the spaces, and give the
possibility to use the roof as an amphitheatre for outdoor events. The building is clad in wood
to integrate both the green surroundings and the character of the street. The entrance of the
library is at street level. The Community Centre and its multipurpose hall is accessible through
the lobby from the side wall on the side of the church, which allows easy access to the church for
joint celebrations.

1.
The partially underground level regroups the administra tion
parts such as offices, furniture storage and sound reproduction as the Community Centre with a defined zone from the
Park.
The multipurpose hall is located underground to reduce surrounded noise and is double height in the center. It is connected to the library if it needs to extend. The public library is
situated to the lower peak-roof part getting natural indirect
south-light from the seating structured roof.
The stairs to the different levels of the library is used for
seating and may be used for lectures and indoor events.
The Caf is located on the top peak of the high peaked roof.
It is accessible for both the public, from the outside (roof with
its stairs), and private, from the inside of the building. It has
a direct connection to the Lobby and its Community Centre as
well to the Multipurpose Hall on the lower level.

The House of Fairy tales for the Hans Christian Andersen Museum is
designed based on transmitting a story to the visitors and its public. The
House of Fairy tales is composed of a museum part which is underground
and 10 Follies Houses disperse on the Lotzes Garden.
The Follies Houses get their origin from Hans Christian Andersen birt
place and fan out through Lotzes Garden to invade the city starting on
the Thomas B Thriges Gade towards the world like missionaries. They
brings his stories to the peoples.
Originate the Follies Houses were transformed and detached from the
typical neighbor houses on the urban grid. They became living and they
moves freely on the Lotzes Garden like the public. Together with the
visitors of the Garden they form the public.
Each Folly House has a story to tell. Their facade are all in white high
gloss painted aluminum with cutting pattern from the collection of the
papercuts works. Inside those installations the natural light will give an
enchanted atmosphere. During daytime the natural light will project.
Andersens work inside, while at night the inner artificial light will shine
his work to the world.

WATERLOO
CITYZEN

Project: Housing, Retail, Eldry house, Hospital, Offices & Parking

Type: Privat
Site: Waterloo, Belgium
Size: 50 000m2
Statut: Ongoing
Architect: Olfa Kammoun, Mohamed Bouzrara, Bobby Fogel
+ DDS architects

>

CityZen is a neighborhood where generations (families, adolescents and

the elderly) can live in a variety of buildings predestined for them.
So each generation will have their own building in the CityZen neighborhood.
The site includes many level differences. In the current situation is
also located a university campus called Musica Mundi. This building is
integrated into the draft of the new buildings. The different buildings
are being positioned across from each other; this creates (walking)spaces
between the buildings. These spaces are all connected with each other
and lead to a center in the middle of all the buildings. This will allow the
campus to have enough space and also to stand with the other buildings
in harmony.
The site is bounded on the east and west by a highway with lots of
noise pollution and a water treatment plant. To avoid disruption of these
factors, there is morphology conceived which both the profiles of the
buildings refines and will also give an unobstructed view.
This morphology consists buildings that reach their highest point in the
center, and hit the ground at the edges. This shape will allow the building
to be sound absorbing. On the slope of the buildings there will be room
for a continuous park from the ground to the roof gardens.
The concept is of additional value for the neighborhood and provides
complementarities between the city life, which is situated below with
commerce, shops and the care center one hand and the rustic peaceful
life on the rooftop with the intervention of collective gardens and the
park terraces on the other.

BRAZILIA
ATHELETIC STADIUM

Project: Stadium
Type: International Competition/ July 2013
Site: Brasilia
Number of seat: 70 000
Construction site: 47 961 m
Maximum height: 90m
Statut: 2nd prize
Architect: Olfa Kammoun, Mohamed Bouzrara, Bobby Fogel

>

The New Athletic Stadium of Brasilia is designed based on rethinking

functionality of sports in todays social communication.
Composition of the Stadium is a contradiction itself, classical ancient
typology of a stadium has fleeted to a new approach. It gains a rectangular form and it is based in straight lines and sharp angles, although
the form itself is monumental with applied combination of materials, it
gains lightness and elegance that would compare to the iconic
curved structures of Oscar Niemeyer. Therefore the Stadium works as
a sculptural landmark.
Defining part of the new approach is integration and communication,
not only inside the Stadium, but also in a dialog between it and its
surroundings and society. Through this concept Stadium gains a wide
entrance part, it becomes easily accessible to everyone and also eases
the evacuation process in unlikely case of need for it.
The spatial planning of the stadium allows visitors to be in the centre
of the action at all times.

Nous avons adopt cet esprit dinnovation de Rinventer Paris comme le cur
de notre conception pour le site Pershing. Lorsque le Priphrique a t cr dans les
annes 1970, il sparait physiquement et symboliquement Paris de ses banlieues et il a cr
des obstacles face linteraction sociale et la communication. Notre dveloppement sur
le site Pershing est la fois un pont et un btiment. Nous allons donner lespace public
aux habitants de Paris et reconnecter la ville avec les banlieues par la construction de ce
nouveau projet qui utilise lespace arien au-dessus du Priphrique et embrasse le site
adjacent.
En rcuprant lespace au-dessus du Priphrique, le site Pershing advient une
bouff dair frais la vile. Le bruit, la circulation et la pollution seront aspirs par des
espaces verts, des fermes urbaines, des logements, des lieux de travail ; dsormais,
le Pershing est une destination pour des centaines de Parisiens et des touristes. Le
dveloppement de 70,000m2 usage mixte fournira des espaces de bureaux pour les
entreprises tablies et les jeunes entrepreneurs, de lhbergement en htel, des rsidences
prives et un march alimentaire gnreux - toutes avec accs une varit des espaces
verts qui offrent un rpit dans le milieu urbain.

Notre conception du nouveau projet Campus Dfense intgre les exigences et les
attentes des entreprises du 21e sicle et est conu pour favoriser leur dveloppement. Un
campus urbain traditionnel est une bote rigide qui limite les vues et concentre lattention

vers toutes les directions, et intgre dans le projet la vie de la rue : des nouveaux sentiers
pdestres, des espaces verts, des services et des quipements pour tous les Franciliens
qui vivent et travaillent dans le nouveau quartier de La Dfense.

Nous avons cr deux nouvelles voies travers le site : une diagonale depuis
lintersection du boulevard Aim Csaire avec le boulevard des Bouvets qui mne vers
le cur du site, et une seconde voie qui traverse le site du boulevard des Bouvets au
Boulevard de la Dfense. Ces gestes ont pour but de connecter physiquement le nouveau

Over the past twenty years Lille has become a European hub; a destination for business and congress, a great place to study and live and also
a tourist destination. It is a city with a turbulent history of conquest
and reconquest, a heritage as an important medieval city and later the
industrial capital. It is this history, the unique and striking presence of
remnants of ramparts of the citadel, which the project seeks to mention.
Our project emerges from the idea of creating an urban catalyst, accommodating three distinct programmes on a triangular site. By placing
a program in each point of the triangle we offer maximum privacy while
allowing them a closeness and continuity of space, organized around a
garden, like a cloister of calm in the center of the city. The lifting of
the mass of the programme at the corners illuminates and activates the
adjacent public spaces and creates a continuity from outside to inside
the building.

The project of the renovation of Square de lAccueil in Evere (Brussels,
Belgium) was a possibility to generate the conditions for a new urbanity. We
had a desire to create the entrance to the city while emphasizing the human
dimension that makes the richness of the commune.
Our objectives were to create a new public space with local retail that would
contribute to a more active and social life of the neighborhood, to offer the
extra facilities to the school as well as build unique housing - pleasant to
live in and environmentally friendly.
We also wanted to offer a shared space on the ground level as well as
a common green area on the roof, so to create pleasant places of nature
in the middle of the city and to forge links between the members of the
community
