McBride Charles Ryan & John Wardle Score High at Australian Architecture Awards
Posted: Tuesday, July 08, 2008

Victoria’s two-time winner of the nation’s top accolade for public architecture, John Wardle, strengthened his chances for a third, after taking out three of the state’s highest honours at the 2008 Australian Institute of Architects Victorian Architecture Awards.

John Wardle Architect’s Nigel Peck Centre for Learning & Leadership was honoured with the Victorian Architecture Medal and the William Wardell Award for public architecture.

Another five awards were made for public architecture (new and alterations & additions), including the MCG Redevelopment by MCG 5 Sports Architects and the Albury Library Museum by Ashton Raggatt McDougall.

Wardle now has two projects contending for this year’s national Sir Zelman Cowan Award for public architecture after last month winning the category in South Australia with the Hawke Building at the University of South Australia.

The Learning & Leadership Centre, at Melbourne Grammar School, impressed the jury for its capacity to link the adjacent school grounds, the Domain Gardens, Domain Road and the school’s traditions. The jury described the building as “beautifully and thoughtfully crafted”.

Two geometrically-inclined buildings by McBride Charles Ryan were awarded the state’s top awards for residential architecture and commercial architecture.

McBride Charles Ryan’s angular beach shack at Rye, the Klein Bottle House, won the Harold Desbrowe-Annear Award for residential architecture. And, shaded by plane trees emanating from the neighbouring Melbourne Club Garden, Monaco House (ground level entry and cafe', two levels of offices and a top floor reception for Monaco’s Honorary Consular) took out the Sir Osborn McCutcheon Award for commercial architecture.

For successfully representing what architecture can contribute to a ‘sustainable’ community in the broadest sense, DesignInc’s K2 Apartments project was awarded the top honour for sustainable architecture. Initiated by the Victorian Office of Housing, the 96 unit housing development in Windsor sets a benchmark in ecologically sustainable, medium density public housing.

Victoria has long been regarded by many as the nation’s premier state for architecture. This year, a record 183 projects from across Victoria were entered, submitted by some of the state’s best known architects through to first time entrants, and featuring budgets ranging from the very modest to multi-millions. A total of 35 prizes and awards were presented, including 13 ‘named’ awards (the first and highest award in each category).

“Once again, the benchmark setting design in this annual awards program has underscored the critical importance of design excellence on our built environment. There is no doubt that Victoria, and Melbourne in particular, continue to prosper both physically and culturally through such a demonstrably high standard of design achievement,” said the Institute’s Victorian President, Karl Fender.

All Victorian architecture award winners will progress to contend in the national awards, being announced in October.

A free public exhibition of all entries runs until July 25, at Urban Workshop, Ground Floor, 50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. A series of free floor talks by jury members is also being presented.

As well as winning the Best Overend Award for residential architecture (multiple housing) with Dock 5 at Docklands, John Wardle Architects scooped a fourth accolade, with a residential architecture award for Kyneton House.

Residential Architecture

獎項：Harold Desbrowe-Annear Award
設計案：Klein Bottle House, Rye
建築師：McBride Charles Ryan 建築師事務所 (Rob McBride, Debbie-Lyn Ryan)
設計團隊：Drew Williamson, Fang Cheah
樓地板面積：258 平方米
業主、營造：Donna & Mark
描述：

The Klein bottle is a descriptive model of a surface developed by topological mathematicians. Klein bottle, mobius strips, boy surfaces, unique surfaces that while they may be distorted remain topologically the same. I.e. a donut will remain topologically a donut if you twist and distort it, it will only change topologically if it is cut.

The surfaces that mathematicians have developed hold intrigue for architects as they hold a promise of new spatial relationships and configurations. Technology (CAD) has played an important part in all this, it is now more possible to efficiently describe more complex shapes and spaces and communicate these to the build. Previously the more orthogonal means of communication – plans, sections and elevations naturally encourage buildings which are more easily described in these terms, i.e. boxes.

This holiday house is situated on the Mornington Peninsula 1.5 hrs drive from Melbourne. It is located within the tee–tree on the sand dunes, a short distance from the wild 16th beach. From the outset MCR wanted a building that nestled within the tree line. That talked about journey and the playfulness of holiday time. What began as a spiral or shell like building developed into a more complex spiral, the Klein bottle. MCR were keen to be topologically true to the Klein bottle but it had to function as a home. We thought an origami version of the bottle would be achievable and hold some ironic fascination. (The resulting FC version also has a comforting relationship to the tradition of the Aussie cement sheet beach house).

The building (we think) is also within that tradition of the use of an experimental geometry that could be adapted to more suitably meet contemporary needs, and desires. In that sense it is within the heroic tradition of invigorating the very nature of the home, most notable of this tradition would be the great experimental heroic houses by Melbourne architects in the 50』s (McIntyre and Boyd in particular).

The house revolves around a central courtyard, a grand regal stair connecting all the levels. There is a sense of both being near and far to all occupants.

Its endless, curling shell-like quality particularly in the tee tree brings about a comforting togetherness.

數學領域中，克萊因瓶（Klein bottle）是指一種無定向性的平面，比如2維平面，就沒有「內部」和「外部」之分。克萊因瓶最初的概念提出是由德國數學家 Klein Felix 提出的。克萊因瓶和莫比烏斯帶(Mobius)非常相像。

克萊因瓶的結構非常簡單，一個瓶子底部有一個洞，現在延長瓶子的頸部，並且扭曲地進入瓶子內部，然後和底部的洞相連接。

和我們平時用來喝水的杯子不一樣，這個物體沒有「邊」，它的表面不會終結。它也不類似於氣球 ，一隻蒼蠅可以從瓶子的內部直接飛到外部而不用穿過表面（所以說它沒有內外部之分）。

「克萊因瓶」這個名字的翻譯其實是有些錯誤的，因為最初用德語命名時候名字中「Flache」是表面的意思。大概是誤寫為了「Flasche」，這個詞才是瓶子的意思。不過不要緊，「瓶子」這個詞用起來也非常合適。

McBride Charles Ryan 建築師所設計之 Klein Bottle House 便是想要使得房子內的空間不斷循環而沒有起點與終點，而且沒有明確的方向性。

座落在澳洲茶樹林中的這座Klein Bottle House 私人住宅，有著複雜旋轉的外觀、亮眼的金屬板外裝，搭配著水泥板纖維和玻璃等現代的材料，遠遠望去顯得格外搶眼。建築體圍繞中央庭院而設計；由一個豪華的樓梯圍繞著中庭而上，並且連接所有的平面空間，創造一種各個空間彼此「似近還遠」的感覺。

獎項：Victorian Architecture Medal 2008
設計案：Nigel Peck Centre for Learning and Leadership
建築師：John Wardle
業主：Melbourne Grammar School

"We believe the contemporary library is a place of study open to the world outside, full of noisy discussion of new ideas while still providing space for quieter contemplation." John Wardle

In May 2004, Melbourne Grammar School announced John Wardle Architects as the winner of a design competition for a landmark building on Domain Road, establishing a new front door for the school. The Centre for Learning and Leadership will integrate library and information technology functions, and include a 240 seat lecture theatre and administration centre.

The subject of learning becomes the face of the campus through a transparent library envelope. The emphasis is on providing an active space with access to knowledge in a variety of media, electronic as well as traditional forms. The library elevation is an open glass facade that exposes rows of books as well as thriving companion activities, symbolically representing both a repository of knowledge and a shift to a more open and engaging institution.

The entry on Domain Road will be expressed as a slice through the new building that reveals the West Quadrangle 1858 facade.

Commercial Architecture

獎項：Sir Osborn McCutcheon Award
設計案：Monaco House, Melbourne
建築師：McBride Charles Ryan

Monaco House is a little hidden treasure located on Ridgway Place, one of the myriad laneways for which Melbourne is internationally renowned. Located opposite the Melbourne Club at the eastern end of the central business district, the active and unexpected facade enlivens the area and intrigues passers-by.

This building was built for the Honorary Consul of Monaco and is the first to be granted naming rights outside Monaco. On a site of just 101 square metres, the building is four storeys high and includes a cafe, consular activity, offices, meeting areas and a rooftop garden. In the words of critic Simon Drysdale, Monaco House "participates in the city as laneway art as well as a building" - the facade is generously expressive in both form and surface textures. Internally, the geometric, permeable profile of the facade continues - the walls flow on to become the upholstered ceiling, folding surfaces create a play of light and shadow, a cave-like balcony is built into the third level, and the roof terrace is a warped green platform.

In plan, Monaco house has two conflicting agendas - the linearity of office planning and a resistance to this assigned limitation. The physical footprint of the building is so tiny that savvy planning strategies were required - of particular note is the way each of the building functions seamlessly slides from one into another.

Giving the streetscape a refreshing dose of glee, Monaco House adds to the layered history of the city of Melbourne - "a project of boutique celebration."

設計案：K2 Apartments, Windsor
建築師：DesignInc
位置：Melbourne, VIC
業主：Office of Housing, Department of Human Services
造價：2700萬澳幣
完工：2006
描述：

K2 is DesignInc?s competition winning entry from the Office of Housing's sustainable design competition. Soon to be constructed, it is a development for 96 units of medium density public housing which will exceed a 5 star rating.

The primary aim of the design is to minimise energy through the integration of passive solar design principles including orientation, shading, thermal mass, cross-ventilation, night purging and appliance selection. Photovoltaics and solar hot water panels are also incorporated into the design.

The building form evolved from the direct expression of the environmental criteria and materials were selected on the basis of a total life cycle approach which incorporates consideration of elements such as embodied energy, biodiversity, waste, end of life reuse/recyclability and toxicity to humans, manufacturers and the environment.

這樣清楚了一點了吧
另外
莫比斯帶的敘述
是證明四度空間的存在

那這個瓶瓶
用在設計當中的意義是
外皮跟內皮
是可以連續的囉...
那空間意義呢......

[eaGer]

那空間意義呢......

可否一言以蔽之？ 「無裡外之分」？ 恰當否？

[一壘手]

您老是說關門其實是沒關門嗎
在四度空間這支瓶口是沒有穿過瓶身的
想知道
那在三度空間中
這段關係是該如何敘述表達
值得思考一下的牛角尖
