tensile tulips, 2007
Uri Ben-Ari is an independent architect and researcher living in Eindhoven since 2007. His work currently tackles urban research methods, from mapping and evaluating patterns of growth, through analyzing existing planning policies, and offering site-specific, pragmatic courses of action. He considers himself a mediator, linking visions with real-time requirements and behavior.
Ben-Ari is the initiator and co-curator of Instatements, a physical and virtual platform that seeks to redefine adaptive reuse and redevelopment, based on ex-industrial buildings, their historic versus contemporary prototypes and their significance with regard to the city centre.

head turner #5 - het Marnix
"Transparency – insight, prospect and overview" - were the central themes for the design by Mecanoo of this sports centre in Amsterdam . The architects chose a simple outer form - two solid cubic masses with a glazed central atrium - to encase an unexpected interplay of floor levels, viewpoints, stairways and halls on the inside. Though each of the functions are framed by their own structures, thanks to the atrium with its abundance of light and almost shop-like windows, anyone entering the atrium is at once aware an intimate connection to the whole, but without being hammered by the acoustical dischord prevalent in so many gym halls. Swimmers from within aren't shut off in an aquarium, but are almost enjoying an open urban activity. Up on first floor level, the corridor to the sports hall, normally a neglected part of your average complex, is graced by light veneer cladding and a wonderful view of the Marnixstraat below.
To replace an old building, het Marnix clings on to some functional and structural features from the past - such as glass facades and an overhang onto the adjacent canal. The idea of laying the competition pool a little under canal water level is ingenious - albeit enjoyable only to those who are actually using the pool.
Off the record, an employee pointed out several daily discomforts, such as greenhouse-effect heat and want of adequate ventilation in the central hall. A reminder that climate control is always out there.

- Een nieuwe brug slaan tussen creativiteit, cultuur, natuur en duurzaamheid door uitwisseling, ontmoeting en onderzoek te stimuleren
quote of the month
Urban space allows the solid and the precarious, the precious and the discardable to co-exist or even to switch places. To acknowledge this is to liberate oneself from the curse of the will to control, so long dominant in the disciplines of planning and architecture, and will lead to a questioning of the ways in which one can take an active role in shaping an environment that is beyond control.
