طرح منتخب گروه معماری "Steven Holl" برای مسابقه طراحی مدرسه هنر گلاسکو
New York-based Steven Holl Architects, in collaboration with Glasgow-based JM Architects, has won the international design competition for the new building of the Glasgow School of Art on the site opposite the historic Mackintosh Building. The competition was organized by the Glasgow School of Art. The Selection Committee, chaired by Barcelona-based architect David MacKay, selected Steven Holl Architects with JM Architects by unanimous vote.
Winning concept of the Glasgow School of Art competition by Steven Holl Architects and JM Architects
According to a statement from the Glasgow School of Art:
“The Selection Committee considered that Steven Holl Architects’ work showed a poetic use of light and their submission demonstrated a singular creative vision, scale of ambition, profound clarity and a respectful rivalry for the Mackintosh Building. The Committee believed that Holl’s approach to the craft of building, his understanding of the opportunities of new technology and an enjoyment of the challenges of sustainable design, promised a great step forward in the development of architecture in an urban setting.”

The plan for the new Glasgow School of Art draws upon the push-pull typology of light that is analogous to the original Mackintosh building but moves forward using a new language. The building is composed of volumes shaped by light and connected by a “circuit of connection” which encourages the creative contact central to the workings of the school.
Voids of light, in the form of precast concrete, are central to the building section and structural support. North and south light cuts connect studio sections, and convex light windows project from the facade.
The main body of the new building is a loose-fitting structure, which envelopes a plan composed of studio volumes. Working with proportions and allowing good levels of light into the spaces, the plan remains flexible for the future. The building skin is 100% recycled, fused glass with a solar cavity capable of harvesting heat in winter and cooling in summer.

Steven Holl said: “We are thrilled to be selected for this very important project for the new Glasgow School of Art. It is an honor to make a new architecture for a 21st century school of art across from Mackintosh’s inspiring masterwork of the early 20th century. Since my student days at the University of Washington, the amazing Mackintosh building with its tremendous light and magical scale has been a seminal reference. Mackintosh’s manipulation of the building section for light in such a variety of inventive ways has inspired our approach toward a plan of studio volumes shaped by light and connected by a ‘Circuit of Connection’ which encourages the creative contact central to the workings of the school.
100 years after completion, Mackintosh’s building continues to inspire as a work of architecture and a place to make art. The invention of an original architectural language is a fresh today as it was then. Its intensity of detail, light and material calls for the highest aspirations of a phenomenologically-driven architecture of our time. We feel the urgency of recovering the integral action of “thinking and making” in the use of the highest new technologies available. We imagine the new Glasgow School of Art to be a celebration of Knowledge: the phenomenological and experiential joys of perception supercharged by the techniques of tomorrow.”

This 2009 competition, which was to find an architect-led team and not to select a design, received submissions from over 150 international firms from which seven were shortlisted (in alphabetical order): Benson & Forsyth (London, UK); Elder and Cannon (Glasgow, UK); Francisco Mangado Architects with ZM Architects (Pamplona, Spain and Glasgow ); Grafton Architects (Dublin, Ireland); Hopkins (London, UK); John McAslan and Partners with Nord Architects (London and Glasgow); Steven Holl Architects with JM Architects (New York and Glasgow).
Steven Holl Architects is a leading New York based practice which
has been recognized internationally with some of architecture's most prestigious
awards and prizes. These include recent awards from the American Institute of
Architects and the Royal Incorporation of British Architects for the Nelson
Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and the School of Art at Iowa University.
Awards have also recognised their commitment to sustainable design. Recent work
includes the Herning Centre for the Arts in Denmark and a major development in
Beijing where they also have an office. They will work with Henry McKeown and
Ian Alexander, award winning directors from the Glasgow office of JM
Architects.
The brief for Steven Holl's team is to work with GSA to
refine the Masterplan for GSA's Garnethill estate redevelopment and to design
and deliver Phase 1, a new building to significantly enhance the teaching,
learning and research facilities available to GSA students and staff and the
access which the public can have to their work. The building will sit opposite
the Mackintosh Building, recently voted the UK's favourite building of the past
175 years in a national survey run by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
The in principle support of the Scottish Funding Council has been essential in
enabling the School to move to this stage.
It is particularly appropriate that this announcement comes just
over 100 years after The Glasgow School of Art held its first architectural
competition when it invited submissions from 11 architects' practices for a new
school in the centre of the city. The winner was 28-year-old Charles Rennie
Mackintosh (then working for Honeyman and Keppie), whose Mackintosh Building,
will remain at the heart of the new urban campus and the educational experience
of every GSA student.
This 2009 competition, which was to find an
architect-led team and not to select a design, received submissions from over
150 international firms from which seven were shortlisted (in alphabetical
order): Benson & Forsyth (London, UK); Elder and Cannon (Glasgow, UK);
Francisco Mangado Architects with ZM Architects (Pamplona, Spain and Glasgow );
Grafton Architects (Dublin, Ireland); Hopkins (London, UK); John McAslan and
Partners with Nord Architects (London and Glasgow); Steven Holl Architects with
JM Architects (New York and Glasgow).
The final and unanimous decision
was reached after a rigorous process, against set evaluation criteria, of
submissions, presentations and interviews, by a Selection Committee chaired by
Barcelona based architect, David Mackay. The Selection Committee considered that
Steven Holl Architects' work showed a poetic use of light and their submission
demonstrated a singular creative vision, scale of ambition, profound clarity and
a respectful rivalry for the Mackintosh Building. The Committee believed that
Holl's approach to the craft of building, his understanding of the opportunities
of new technology and an enjoyment of the challenges of sustainable design,
promised a great step forward in the development of architecture in an urban
setting.
"This is the next major step in transforming Glasgow School of
Art's rather poor estate into spaces for learning, teaching, research and
engagement with the public which are fit for their purpose, meet the needs of
our staff and students and support their ambitions," said Seona Reid, Director
of The Glasgow School of Art. "I am absolutely confident, as was the Selection
Committee, that our collaboration with Steven Holl Architects and theirs with JM
Architects will produce a world class building for the School and for Glasgow,
an inspiring environment for our staff and students, an inventive and worthy
companion to Mackintosh and a building of which we will all be immensely proud.
The selection of the architect to lead this important project was a demanding
process for all concerned. We have been incredibly impressed by the hard work,
creativity, and commitment given to it by all seven of the shortlisted teams and
we thank them for it. I also want to thank the eight members of the Selection
Committee, chaired by David Mackay, whose enthusiasm for their task and the
insights they brought to the process were absolutely invaluable"
Double Appointment for Turner & Townsend by The Glasgow School of Art
Turner & Townsend's reputation for providing excellent support
to the Education sector has been recognised by being appointed by The Glasgow
School of Art to provide both Project and Cost Management services for the
Garnethill Estate Redevelopment.
£50m of funding for the major
redevelopment of the School's city centre campus was awarded by the Scottish
Funding Council in June 2008. The funds will help to replace three
buildings opposite the iconic Mackintosh Building which have been identified as
being no longer fit for purpose, with poor quality facilities and a lack of
lecture space.
Turner & Townsend's Project Management team will be
developing with the School, a project programme to safeguard business continuity
and manage project activities and project risks in relation to the
programme. Our Cost Management team will provide the School with detailed
cost advice and reporting at all stages of the project, and play a key role in
the preparation of tendering information for the contractor
appointment.
An international competition to appoint an architect for the
project was completed in early September, when Steven Holl Architects (New York)
working with Scottish based jm Architects were selected to lead the design
team.
For over 160 years the School's activities have been centered in
the Garnethill area of Glasgow city centre and the estate is most identified by
the Grade A-listed main school building designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh
(the Mackintosh Building), which was completed in 1909. The school
currently has 1665 FTE students, but hopes to increase this to 2000 over the
next 6 years.
Turner & Townsend Associate Director, Kevin Bryson, who
last week was named UK Project Manager of the Year by the Association of Project
Managers said; "We're delighted to have been appointed by The Glasgow
School of Art to help them achieve their vision. Their decision to appoint
us to project manage as well as cost manage this exciting development is
testament to the knowledge and expertise we have gained within the Education
sector over recent years."
David Miller, Director of Estates at the
School commented on Turner & Townsend's appointment; "The
redevelopment of the Garnethill Estate is one of the most important
architectural developments within Glasgow for a number of years. We
enjoyed a very successful relationship with Turner & Townsend's Project and
Cost Managers assisting in the development of the Outline Business Case for this
project, and so we are looking forward to this relationship extending into the
design and implementation phase."
The double appointment by the School
has further cemented Turner & Townsend as a construction industry
leader. There have been several other recent and significant project wins
for the company's Glasgow office, including:
- A quayside development project for Scottish Enterprise
- A new sports centre for Inverclyde Council
- Infrastructure works and new offices for Clyde Gateway
- A&E refurbishment at Glasgow Royal Infirmary for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde
Commenting on the recent successes, Ronnie Dool, Turner & Townsend Director, said; "In the current volatile economic climate, we're delighted to have won a number of significant projects over recent months. The diversity of our service streams, coupled with the quality of service we provide to our clients, has enabled the business to secure key commissions despite these challenging and extremely competitive times. It's great to be part of the work that helps Glasgow undergo it's step change to elevate the city further and leave behind it's 'No Mean City' image."
