DESCRIZIONE
 
In Amsterdam, on the Singel canal, the renovated building is the former Federal Warehouse of Medical Supplies. The main structure is a four - story brick "U" merging internally with a new “sponge” pavilion on the canal. While the exterior expression is one of complimentary contrast (existing brick adjacent to new perforated copper) the interior strategy is one of fusion. The complex at 410 Sarphatistraat is entered through the original 19th century brick courtyard. Passing through the interior reveals gradually more porous spaces until reaching the “Menger Sponge” pavilion overlooking the canal. While the major portion of the 50,000 sq.ft. project is workspace for the Social Housing Company’s 268 employees, the large sponge space is open to receive all uses from public gatherings to performance events. Given back to the community, the immediate canal edge has a new boardwalk.

The porous architecture of the rectangular pavilion is inscribed with a concept from the music of Morton Feldman “Patterns in a Chromatic Field”. The ambition to achieve a space of gossamer optic phenomena with chance- located reflected color is especially effective at night when the color patches paint and reflect in the De Singel Canal.

The layers of perforated materials, from copper on the exterior to plywood on the interior, contain all services such as lighting, supply and return air grilles. The perforated screens developed in three dimensions are analogous to the “Menger Sponge” principle of openings continuously cut in planes approaching zero volume. “Chromatic Space” is formed by light bounced between the building’s layers. At night light trapped between screens sometimes appears as thick floating blocks of color. At other times the passing sun creates a throbbing color wash, or moiré patterns are created in the moving view.

Below the pavilion an automatic car parking machine which takes the cars one at a time and returns them turned around is made possible on a steel framework with self lubricating nylon wheels
