The Museum of Performance and Design

source: highlike

Work: New museum to house collection and to provide interactive experience 40,000 sq. ft. (3,700 m²) This is the first international arts institution devoted entirely to the performing arts and theatrical design. The site is in the heart of the museum district of San Francisco and our objective is to create an iconic piece of architecture that reflects the international focus of the institute and its stature as a world-class center. Mikhail Baryshnikov agreed to collaborate with us as part of the design team. He has extensive technical knowledge and design skills relating to the design as well as the exhibit portrayals. “I first met Misha (Baryshnikov) to discuss the project in a café opposite the Paris opera house, where he had just been rehearsing. I had been sketching ideas and we sat and talked about how we could translate the meaning of the project into a built architectural form. My sketches were inspired by the movement and rhythm expressed in many of the performing arts. I had been drawing the path and flow of a series of dynamic movements and Misha started describing them with his hands in a very fluid and expressive way. He picked up a sheet of paper and curved it into the shape of the designs I had been sketching. Not only did the form begin to express the energy and tension that we wanted to portray but it also reminded us of several other forms that are associated with performance, such as sheet music, tape and film. We were also reminded of the twists of a conductor’s baton, the swirl of fabric in the clothes of a performer and the stage curtains that open to allow an audience into the world of the imagination. We were very excited that we had found an elegant yet pure form that could express in an abstract way the drama and energy of performance. We had several more meetings in New York at the “Baryshnikov Institute”, a new building of flexible performance spaces that Misha and his team had designed. His experience creating these spaces gives him invaluable knowledge for the museum and its performance spaces.” —Mark Dziewulski The building is an opportunity to reflect the importance and mission of the museum within the larger community. As such it is intended to be a striking and architecturally significant design, to provide a highly visible landmark that people will begin to identify with the museum. It is a serious and rigorous work of architecture but is also intended to be an exciting and optimistic design, crossing the boundaries of culture, education and age. At its best, architecture can be the universal language that can speak to all. A dynamic and sculptural design can catch the imagination. “This is a world-class design and the kind of thing that we now see in other major cities around the world” “San Francisco needs to build a big splashy Mark Dziewulski building to demonstrate to the world this city has a modern architectural soul” —Curbed SF website.

The office was set up with the aim to build architecturally significant projects, creating iconic buildings in the public realm. The designs are intended to be a rigorous expression of dramatic architectural design, whilst also being sensitive to their context and users. The projects combine the use of technological innovation with poetic and sculptural forms to create a strong sense of “place”. Mark Dziewulski is personally involved with each project from start to completion, so that the work reflects an individual and distinctive design sensibility. Each new commission receives a fresh approach based on its contextual and programmatic influences. The office is committed to environmentally sensitive construction and has created several technologically innovative buildings.

The office has built several public projects, including a national war memorial in Poland and a United Nations trade headquarters in China. They have also created designs for a variety of cultural and public buildings, including several museums. Their design for the National Gallery, in Trafalgar Square, was published by the Royal Institute of British Architects and was widely praised. The office is currently working on a residential apartment building in London, several houses and commercial projects, and the design phase for a performing arts centre. They recently completed a design for a new museum of aviation in Cracow, Poland.

The work has been praised as being both sensitive to its context as well as providing iconic design, making the buildings important landmarks within their communities. Their goal is to continually evolve and grow as a design firm, expanding the range of their portfolio while striving to create innovative and exciting architecture.

The building is intended to not only be the ideal home to support the internal programs but also an opportunity to express the importance and mission of the museum within the larger community. As such it is intended to be striking and architecturally significant, providing a highly visible landmark that people will begin to identify with the museum. It is a serious and rigorous work of architecture but is also intended to be an exciting and optimistic design, crossing the boundaries of culture, education and age. At its best, architecture can be the universal language that can speak to all. A dynamic and sculptural design can catch the imagination.

Part of the mission of the museum is to bring the performing arts to a wider audience, particularly a younger one, which is a cause that Mr. Baryshnikov has always energetically supported. The project will be much more than a “museum” because it will not just show the collection but will be a living and vibrant center for learning about and experiencing the performing arts at first hand.

In addition to the public exhibits the Museum also has a world-class collection and an extensive library, which are a very valuable resource for research. It will also be the nucleus for an extensive series of public outreach programs that will go into schools and community theaters, bringing the work of performing arts to a larger audience.

Zaha Hadid és Steven Holl is verseng az új San Franciscó-i művészeti központ tervezéséért. Az egyik favorit mégis Mark Dziewulski lehet, aki kaliforniai specialistának számít a múzeumépítésben.

Míg a Napa-völgyben Frank O. Gehry borcsarnokának alapozási munkáit végzik, amely a kanadai-amerikai sztárépítész első műve lesz a San Franciscó-i öböl térségében, a metropoliszban is nagy dobásra készülnek. A hatvan éve megnyílt Előadóművészeti és Design Múzeum 35 millió dolláros tervpályázatára olyan neveket hívtak meg, mint a Szervita térre is tervező Zaha Hadid, a magyar professzori címet viselő világhírű Steven Holl, az innovativitásáról közismert Diller Scofidio & Renfro iroda és Sacramento arculatának megújítója, Mark Dziewulski.

A patinás művészeti intézmény új épületét sokan az építészet brit-iraki nagyasszonyától várják, de Hadid nem jelent meg a San Franciscó-i prezentáción. Impozáns látványtervet tett viszont közzé egyik konkurense, Dziewulski, aki Amerikában nagy rehabilitációs projekteket és több múzeumot valósított meg sikerrel. Emellett nemcsak a tengerentúlon ismert. A lengyel származására büszke és az anyaországgal szoros kapcsolatokat ápoló építész emelte a légierő pilótáinak nemzeti emlékművét Varsóban, Pekingben az ENSZ kereskedelmi központját tervezte, és részt vett a londoni National Gallery klasszikusan merész új szárnyának tervezésében is. Itthon a DesignRoom magazin címlapján szerepelt tóparti pavilonos galériájával.

Dziewulski az 1950-es éves formavilágához és a kinematográfia kultuszához nyúlt vissza a Harmadik és a Folsom utca kereszteződésében helyet kapó új múzeumi épület koncepciójával. Az egyedien csavart filmszalag-konstrukció központi hurokjában alakítaná ki a színpadot, amelynek optimális kiképzéséhez a világhírű balett-táncossal, Mihail Barisnyikovval konzultált. Az apropó adott volt, ugyanis az intézmény nyár végéig a San Franciscó-i balett történetének legfontosabb állomásait mutatja be válogatott díszletek, archív vizuális anyagok és műtárgyak segítségével.

Az építész regionális tapasztalatai révén akár Hadiddal és Holl-lal szemben is eséllyel indulhat a lendületes látványtervvel. Különböző ihletésű projektjei között az egyik legfrissebb a Sacramento szívében készülő előadó- és vizuális művészeti központ, amely kontrasztos stílusú, elliptoid alakban találkozó épületekkel értelmezi újra a helyi hagyományokat. Ha nem nyerne a San Franciscó-i pályázaton, saját városában vigasztalódhat a megdöbbentően hasonló, szintén ívesen hajtogatott formájú Triangle kortárs múzeum kivitelezésével. Ha mégis őt választják győztesnek, a két kaliforniai település építészetileg is testvérintézményekkel lesz gazdagabb.
