The gallery is divided into four sections: Art Space, where children explore pattern making, build their own teapots based a display of teapots through the ages, and discover a fantasy landscape. Celebrate, where they encounter and interact with various forms of musical instruments, dress up for party, and make a 4m long dragon dance. Story Place, where diverse stories are used for game building, shadow puppets are projected and niches are created where they can play with toys or relax to read a book. Finally, at the centre of the gallery is Little Adventures, where a circular bench forms an enclosure where toddlers can play and discover hidden objects while their parents can have a seat, a moment’s rest. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="395" width_o="1417" height_o="836" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine11.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="381" width_o="1417" height_o="807" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine11_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine4.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="396" width_o="1417" height_o="838" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine7.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="361" width_o="1417" height_o="764" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine7_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine6.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="401" width_o="1417" height_o="849" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine6_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine9.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="387" width_o="2048" height_o="1184" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1950466/Imagine9_o.jpg" align="left" /> High grade naturally varnished plywood is used to create all setwork elements which is then contrasted with a rich palette of colours used both in the showcases and in the floor and wall graphics.

This proposal attempts to capture the ephemeral nature of the event and give it new meaning within a cyclical pattern of change, in order to create a wide-ranging sensory experience for all those who encounter it. Lying on the fringes of the Quartier des Spectacles within a hodge podge of decaying urban fabric we find the Gesù standing somewhat forgotten. A bold neo-baroque building which commands respect, the Gesù longs to be reintegrated into the rich cultural network that is slowly renewing itself around it. Designed upon principles of the Baroque – an age that held art and imagination to be of central importance – the Gesù’s façade instinctively reads as a piece of scenography. The movement of the façade with its curved stairs invites the patron to move up into the church, whereas the unfinished bell towers turn away and face the adjacent streets calling those who pass by to come have a closer look. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/08MLG_Photo_FacadeNordEst2_flat.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1447" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/08MLG_Photo_FacadeNordEst2_flat_o.jpg" align="left" /> Our strategy finds strength in the contradictions found in the building’s sighting and usage as both a place of spirituality and contemplation, and as a vibrant event space where new voices are given a platform for expression. Rather than masking the façade we choose to enforce the idea of an urban scenography by building into it and animating it so that the very walls become an inhabited marquee. The old window frames, with their segmented panes of glass, and the doors are replaced with deeper windows with simple frames that allow for performances to happen, installations to be set up, events to be publicized, and images and colours to be projected. This provides profound illuminated spaces, which evoke a shrine-like quality, emblematic of both the spiritual and religious life of the Gesù as well as its programme as a creative centre. As an element in constant flux, no singular reading of the building is generated. Rather, it is allowed to fluctuate between something bright, colourful and exciting, to something tranquil and serene. It becomes an icon that triggers memories and builds anticipation for what lies inside and what might be experienced there in the future. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/facade.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="434" width_o="1108" height_o="719" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/facade_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/sections.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="382" width_o="1409" height_o="804" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/sections_o.jpg" align="left" /> In this way, the façade becomes something exciting not only for the patron going to see a performance or exhibition, but also for the pedestrians and motorists who pass it as they go by. It allows all who engage with it to be pulled out of their own reality and into the realm of the imagination, even if only for a moment. The Gesù’s new façade shows how the power of architecture lies not only within our experience of the building itself, but also in its ability to engrave itself in our memories as an image of an experience in our lives. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/windows.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="223" width_o="1825" height_o="608" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581027/windows_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/Webpark http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/following/nuriamontblanch.com/Webpark Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:14:47 +0000 www.nuriamontblanch.com 1581022 ANA Architecten, Amsterdam 2005 Competition for Almere Hout, Netherlands The urban plan for Almere Hout represents a rational grid for an informal transportation network. The city gardens form an arbitrary pattern scattered between archeological discoveries that lie within the Pleistocene ground. The essential part of the WebPark network concept is to connect the different city gardens. This is done by a network of lines (routes) and points (city gardens) that arise to form a base for residents and all other users. The various archeological discoveries in the city gardens regulate the connections into 5 speeds and uses. Paths are proposed which can be used for cycling, walking, running, skating or horseback riding. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/0502-050523-ef-panelen prijsvraaginzending Stadstuinen_ A0_p_1-2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="456" width_o="1400" height_o="953" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/0502-050523-ef-panelen prijsvraaginzending Stadstuinen_ A0_p_1-2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/Plans.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="335" width_o="1219" height_o="611" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/Plans_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage_camper2 copy.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="536" width_o="1000" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage_camper2 copy_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage08_kite flying copy.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="533" width_o="1000" height_o="797" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage08_kite flying copy_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage-running in plantion.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="514" width_o="1000" height_o="768" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage-running in plantion_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage 4- swamp.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="800" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage 4- swamp_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/Collage 14_urban decay copy.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="536" width_o="1000" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/Collage 14_urban decay copy_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage_fair.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="593" width_o="800" height_o="709" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581022/collage_fair_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/Arcadia-Under-Glass http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/following/nuriamontblanch.com/Arcadia-Under-Glass Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:12:26 +0000 www.nuriamontblanch.com 1581018 A Vision of Paradise... or many Jardins Metis Garden Competition 2009 Referencing one of the earliest surviving forms of human intervention, the landscape consists of a series of grassy mounds – six in all, of varying sizes. They stand as a symbol of death and the after-life and when traversing them, visitors are invited to explore a new reality. Scattered throughout these mounds are fifteen glass domes of varying sizes and enclosed in each is a display or diorama for visitors to discover. Grouped under three themes - ‘Presenting Beauty’, ‘The Lost State of Nature’ and ‘Personal Paradises’- each diorama displays a different version of paradise. The Victorian greenhouse, the museum showcase and now the snow globe – they are all examples of our fascination in containing and cataloging miniature versions of an idyllic landscape throughout history. These domes reference the abundance of possible interpretations of paradise, inviting the visitor to marvel at their contents, and escape into another world, a perfect yet unattainable paradise. If only for a few moments. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/Perspective_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="504" width_o="2048" height_o="1540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/Perspective_1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/Plans.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="525" width_o="2000" height_o="1570" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/Plans_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/sections1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="322" width_o="2048" height_o="986" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/sections1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/sections.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="336" width_o="1997" height_o="1004" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/sections_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/detail 1_25a.jpg" border="0" width="651" height="777" width_o="651" height_o="777" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1581018/detail 1_25a_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/Space-Programme http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/following/nuriamontblanch.com/Space-Programme Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:10:45 +0000 www.nuriamontblanch.com 1581013 Castletown House Co.

Stripping back the architecture to its bare bones, a series of interventions are added to the space in a careful and minimal manner to create an entirely new and unique performance experience. The proposed design is to stage a performance of Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard within the church of St. Anna. A bittersweet story of a woman trying to escape the realities of her life, the play’s power lies within its people: our friends, our enemies, our family. We experience their existential conflicts: grief, loss, denial, their middle aged regrets, powerlessness in the face of change, and the bold deluded hopes of a younger generation. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/act1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="352" width_o="1134" height_o="597" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/act1_o.jpg" align="left" caption="Act 1 The Nursery: Intimate and cozy, it is dimly lit and quiet.

The church lives, breaths and evolves with the play; each act in a new space builds, through a feeling of impending loss, inexorably towards the destruction of the house under our feet. St.Anna’s component parts are revealed in an atmosphere of anticipation as the play unfolds, and an experience of the building as a whole is not unveiled until the final act. Caught in time, the characters cannot adapt to a world literally falling down around them. The building is wholly integrated into our experience of the story; we participate in the action in a way only possible in live performance. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/Section A.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="449" width_o="1078" height_o="724" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/Section A_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/section B.jpg" border="0" width="590" height="610" width_o="590" height_o="610" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/section B_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/ground plan.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="417" width_o="1104" height_o="688" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/ground plan_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/mezz plan.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="237" width_o="1072" height_o="380" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/mezz plan_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/loft plan.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="230" width_o="1050" height_o="361" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/loft plan_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/Acts.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="400" width_o="1571" height_o="940" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580986/Acts_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/Introducing-the-New-Midway http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/following/nuriamontblanch.com/Introducing-the-New-Midway Sun, 12 Jun 2011 17:59:15 +0000 www.nuriamontblanch.com 1580975 A Study in Urban Scenography Master of Architecture Thesis, 2006 Two major axes define Montreal’s central core, the north-south axis of Boulevard St-Laurent which divides the city into east and west, and the east-west axis of Rue Ste-Catherine, the city’s main commercial artery. This study begins at the intersection of these two streets on a site which, given its location and history, should be the epicentre of the downtown core, but has in fact lain in a state of gradual decay for the past few decades. By developing a scheme for a ‘marquee’ building, one that incorporates a central information point and a flexible event space, this project aims to restore the identity of Montreal’s most central intersection as the city’s cultural centre, bridging the two main entertainment districts that flank it - the Place des Arts to the west and the Quartier Latin to the east. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/night small.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="373" width_o="2048" height_o="1141" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/night small_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/map composite.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="310" width_o="2048" height_o="949" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/map composite_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/St-Lawrence Street composite web.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="82" width_o="1493" height_o="184" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/St-Lawrence Street composite web_o.jpg" align="left" /> Beginning with a keen interest in scenographic design, this project sought to create a device with which to accentuate the eclectic nature of Montreal’s Boulevard St-Laurent. Employing the example of the early motion picture theatre, and more specifically, the work of the architect S. Charles Lee, it explored the ways in which to generate an architecture capable of capturing experiences and building memories. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/collage 2a.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="236" width_o="956" height_o="338" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/collage 2a_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/models.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="450" width_o="1367" height_o="919" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/models_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/sketches.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="523" width_o="917" height_o="717" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/sketches_o.jpg" align="left" /> Preserving the original structure of the old Midway theatre as the catalyst for the design, a new marquee building runs along Rue Ste-Catherine. As an element in constant flux, no singular reading of the building is generated. Rather, it is allowed to fluctuate between something bright, colourful and exciting, to something tame and serene. It becomes an icon that triggers our memories and builds our anticipation for the future. We look forward to engaging with it once again, to being transported out of our everyday environment, out of ourselves. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/corner.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" width_o="2005" height_o="1333" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/corner_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/day collages.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="274" width_o="1223" height_o="501" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/day collages_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/night collages.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="320" width_o="1427" height_o="682" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55947/1580975/night collages_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/London-Street-Photography http://www.nuriamontblanch.com/following/nuriamontblanch.com/London-Street-Photography Sun, 12 Jun 2011 17:52:41 +0000 www.nuriamontblanch.com 1580938 Norton Allison 2011 Design for a temporary exhibition at the Museum of London showcasing rarely seen photographs from the Museum's rich collection of street photography in London from the late 1800s to present. The exhibition was comprised of a main gallery space where the photographs were displayed along with historical moving images.
