这个公寓的周围都是一些建于70年代的建筑,这个项目有很多充裕的空间和绿色植被,但是整体场地较新,所以没有一种城市中心区典型的历史感觉。这里与自然的联系是很直接的,与城市各个设施也有着方便的联系,是一个很适宜居住的地方,但是为了打造它的特殊感觉,设计师还是在设计概念上狠下了一番功夫,城市的气氛是由两个很重要的元素生成的,一个是之前讨论过的与自然的关联,另一个是与过去的联系,一种过去的感觉,一种之前人们的痕迹,这种过去的感觉也是可以通过建筑来实现的,这个项目就开始于建造一个新的“老建筑”,设计师想要借用过去时代的气氛来打造一个当代建筑,所以他们假想自己是在复兴一片废旧的城区,他们幻想这里是一片被人遗弃的工厂,然后在他们的设计之中它慢慢变为奢华现代的公寓楼。 The surrounding neighborhood consists mostly of apartment blocks that date back from the 70’s. The buildings are large with enough space in-between and plenty of greenery. Because the whole area is built in relatively short period of time and not very long ago, it lacks the typical historic layers of the city center. Here the connection to nature is direct enough, the access to all city-conveniences – fast enough and easy, what makes the area nice to dwell. In spite of that it still lacks history, (memories of) the past and atmosphere. The atmosphere in the city is a result of two very important factors. On one hand the connection to nature, which as already said, is granted. On the other hand – the feeling of the past, the traces of the people that have been here before us; the feeling of human community not only here and now, but also back in time. The feeling of the past alone is achieved mostly by the buildings. Aedes Studio set the uneasy task to design a new “old building”; a contemporary building with past – a building that contains opposites. Aedes Studio wanted to enrich the neighborhood with an atmosphere from another time, to create something that makes them a flâneur (Baudelaire’s character – stroller in Paris) in the city. Aedes Studio approached this project as if they had to revitalize an old, abandoned part of the city (which is the case for harbor and past-industrial areas in many European cities). When such neighborhoods wake up for new life, they possess the charm of the past as well as all contemporary conveniences.
