Sky Hill PRO/light/WORK Competition 2017

Sky Hill PRO/light/WORK Competition 2017


Contest of . . . achievable ideas

Sky Hill PRO/light/WORK Competition 2017 is the second


international architecture contest that aims to provide an opportunity for
students and young architects to propose innovative solutions on a real
theme and to carry them out as part of the design team and coordinating
the final product’s construction.

Short Story

Sky Hill is a place you don’t easily forget once you visit.
The project, started here in 2005 by the Archaeus Foundation, grows
with each year and continues in 2017. (see all images in the story
attachment)
The experiment brings internationally acclaimed guests who present their
search and research on various topics.
Multidisciplinarity is a mindset and an approach that is proving to have
great potential. Thus, in all these years the Foundation has invited for the
workshops or presentations: architects, artists, landscape architects,
designers, musicians, photographers, fashion designers, perfumers,
psychologists, physicians, physicists, directors and filmmakers ..... and,
not to say the least, craftsmen who have brought to us forgotten or little
used techniques. Everything for excellence.
Beyond this educational endeavor, in 2011 was founded a library where
all participants have access and an oven was traditionally built entirely
out of clay in 2012, adding even more joy to cooking with local products.
In 2014 the Foundation organized the first international contest of
projects - Sky Hill PRO / light / TYPE Competition 2014, the project
winner of the first Prize being executed next summer (2014). The contest
was awarded at the architecture Annual a+a 2014 for best educational
project.

More than 73 guests and over 325 students have enjoyed all these years
the opportunities offered by the Foundation.
For its future activities, the Foundation is considering collaborations with
young designers who will be invited, from Romania or abroad, to next
editions (see Archaeus Foundation facebook page), another "subproject"
being the one related to the completion of a mini sports base - cross bike,
tennis (Sky Hill Open), kite-ing (camp kites in May), residence for artists
– landscape artists, musicians, dance performers….etc.
For this, we need a new space for different purposes ......so let’s design it
smart, together.
Sky Hill PRO/light/WORK Competition 2017

Consideration

Leaving the stables in the area (summer houses made especially for
migrating villagers with animals) began after the year 1995 and is
continuing at an accelerated rate. It seems that it has stabilized due to the
crisis. However, in a far away world in which every village has its own
traditions, sometimes their own language (see Ravenska), exists the
potential that could be "mobilized" through its inheritance (valley mills
from Rudăria, local traditions), its natural perspective (Nera Natural
Reserve or Minis canyon ... or rare species of butterflies .. etc) and the
human one.
Local crafts are still kept by the people’s knowledge of working the/
with the earth (most fruits and agriculture being natural fertilized)… and
their joy to work.

Theme

In 2006 we started to draw and build the current major structure in the
yard (see photo no. 1). It has been used for various purposes - dining
room, workshop space for theater, music ... and during summer nights for
sleeping, at the bottom level of terrace, or in the "Lady’s tower" where
the magnificent landscape of the Boinitei valley is opening.
After successfully hosting 10 years of workshops, events, dinings,
because it was designed as a temporary solution and nature doesn’t ask
for permission to intervene...the structure needs to be replaced. Its
removal will happen in April 2017.
The new pavilion structure will be designed in the outline given in the
situation plan; it will be directly related to the existing house - library
and music room / sauna and Japanese garden (ground floor), also at the
attic level with the sleeping places.

This new structure is required to protect the space from rain and
prevailing winds from the southwest (summer) and northeast (winter).
The required functions are:
1- The ATELIER structure will have the maximum width of the
existing house (with front porch) and a maximum length of 16 m
from the house walls. The structure will be able to host multi-
purpose functions; workshops, mini-concerts, conferences, shelter. It
will be carefully visually related to the surroundings - south / east
courtyard with mulberry trees, orchard to the south, garden to the
west. It is recommended to not close this side of the space (the
garden perspective ) or, if it is proposed, needs to have strong
arguments. Should also be studied the possibility of including a an
accommodation room (for teachers) in the upper part of the new
structure.

2- The ZIPLINE TOWER – can be integrated or not in the previously


described structure. The rising level of the zipline wires will be min.
+3.3 m high. We are asking for a study considering a
belvedere/meditation space at a superior level.

3- SLEEPING SPACE in the upper part of the structure (under the roof)
and in direct relation to the attic where there are already 20 beds.
It will also be studied the possibility of locating a drinking water
reservoir that will be connected to a solar heating system (possibly
mounted on existing home or new structure). This will serve the
Sky Hill PRO/light/WORK Competition 2017

bathroom of sauna, outdoor washing place and summer/ winter


kitchen.

The maximum budget of the project will be 2200 euros (structure) and
1400 euros for its covering. The budget will be available 100 % in
summer.

Sintetics

Foundations - non invasive systems - KRINNER or similar types, or


burned wood/acacia foundations
Structure – Lamellar wood (app. 500 euro / mc); or simple wood (app.
240 euro / mc). It is encouraged that this structure be executed with
traditional carpentry but not in more than 14 working days.
Modular - It is recommended that the used items will be modulated ( in
order to be covered by the budget), have high speed execution and
possibility for car transportation ( medium size) and be reversible
(reusable).
Closures - materials that can withstand weather have to fit into the
landscape, to resist the attempts of vandalism,
Light – one of the most important things in the project will be to find
solutions for natural lighting of spaces and using the light spectacle.
Integration - the solution will follow a natural space/ landscape
integration, relation with nature (view), sun.
Open - The competition is open to all students and young architects
(under 32 years old) and it is encouraged to have a multidisciplinary
team ( landscape artists, artists, engineers…).
Teams formed by college freshmen until 6th year can be supervised
by a teacher (recommended, not required).
