/in collaboration with EMBT Arquitectos
Architect: Benedetta Tagliabue
Project Director: Karl Unglaub
Collaborators: Stefan Geenen, Verena Vogler, Max Gunst, Gabrielle Rotelli
Inauguration : September 2011
Conceptual Collage
The new auditorium with the main entrance foyer completes the program of the youth music school, finished in 1999. The extension, which was designed 10 years after the original project is located in the narrow space between the old school and the new youth school and creates a new passage between them.
The auditorium is visible as an unregular round shape with a gallery level.
The façade is covered by bricks, reffering in material and shape to the existing buildings. A visable ornamentation. In the bricks refers to sound waves and indicates the content of the building in the exterior.
/Development Drawing of the Facade
The following pictures were taken during the Inauguration in September 2011 by Stefan Geenen.

The name Camper has much to do with the Catalan term “campo” and means the countryside. The imagination was to think about shoes stepping on irregulas surfaces like stepping on the earth and to play while trying on the shoes in front of twisted mirrors, a bit like being in an amusment park. That is how whobby reflecting surfaces appeared in the project.
Camper shoes are built in Mallorca out of flat cutted leather sheets and put together they become beautiful tridimensional wrappings.
The furniture has been designed in a very similar way: Different Camper shoe forms were used- with hills, without hills, sneakers, boots or sandals, for men or for women. All flat profiles were put one next to the other and a volume appeared. The transfomation between the shoe profiles create benches, tables, surfaces and a lot of crazy mirrors.

Miralles Tagliabue (EMBT) was recently awarded first prize in the International Competition for the New Campus of Fudan University School of Management in Shanghai, China. Fudan is part of a network of universities and their respective buildings located in Shanghai, Fudan is also a very special and unique university with an extensive history and a very unique character. Besides the main campus, there are two new components. These components are not closely located, they are separate pieces, so in order to establish the connection the buildings must convey the identity of Fudan and contemporary life.

The public life within the new campus buildings is generated under the roof-structure within the block. The program of the business school is expected to engage about 8,000 people in the complex at peak times. In this aspect the buildings require an easy and clear organization of the complex program. All public activities like Big Auditorium, library, museum, student food core, shops are placed on the first level, second level, and level minus one. All these public levels connect with the campus garden. The main classrooms are on the third and fourth floors. The block on the west side is connected with bridges to establish an easy and continuous circulation route for the students. On top of the classroom and lounge route are located the separate units of administration, incubator, research, conference center, etc. The theater and the museum are on the ground floor of the block on the east, and the alumni club is linked to the museum so that they can share facilities.
/Position in Shanghai
/Functions
The footprint of the campus will be an essential element in generating an urban mixture. Miralles Tagliabue (EMBT) strongly believe that the central green spine between the blocks of the campus will play a major role in creating the mixture. The existing structure of the area does not have the capacity to generate any public life, the new Fudan campus will create a new core in the new community. The blocks on the western façade side are connected by a public green space. The master plan for this new zone defines the density and heights. The new buildings must have a relationship to the surrounding buildings, the volumes must relate to the urban context, and be adjustable to the different functions. EMBT modified the volumes of the master plan within the given specification to create that mixture. The buildings become part of a network of connections, instead of forming borders.
/view courtyard
Key Attention is given to the public gathering space of the building. Timber and other material are used to give a confortable and welcoming feeling. The central Boulevard is more urban and has big trees and water features. The internal zone introduces vegetation in between the building and mixes the interior.

New CAMPER Store in Barcelona
/ by EMBT
In collaboration with EMBT I have worked on a project for the Majorcan Shoemakers named Camper in Paseig de Gracia in my recent hometown of Barcelona. Each section of the furniture represents a typical Camper-shoe. The official inauguration will be next tuesday, the 30th of November.
For now i would like to share some collages.

/by a group of young architects from across the world
On the 5th of July the official webpage of Green Wabii will be launched.
What is Green Wabii?
GreenWabii is an independent platform that aims primarily at the sustainable and social progress in developing countries. It is based on effective partnerships among individuals, communities, governments, businesses, academia and research.
The main missions are to extend the theoretical and empirical research on sustainability, to cultivate awareness, to promote discussions of relevant solutions and policies, and to propel the configuration and sustainable growth of developing countries.
If you are interested to learn more about the Green Wabii manifest you should directly look it up.
A group of authors from Portugal, Italy, Puerto Rico, India, South Korea, Poland, Spain, Agentina, Venezuela and Germany (me) will take care about the content of the page. I am very happy to find some old friends from the Master in between these people
