2 The proposed extension is a scenographic disposition of formal parts placed in the site to create a coherent architectural landscape. A mute, curvaceous concrete wall forms the backdrop to an amphitheatre like garden between the two institutions. In front of the wall stands a pergolacolonnade adding depth and expressing the passage between museums. Behind, a taller cubic volume contains the new museum shop, which sits apart from the existing buildings. The physical connection of the extension to the elevations of the existing museums is simple and direct retaining existing glazing for natural light to the interiors. Inside the extension a ramp circulates around the perimeter of the museum shop providing step free access between museums. A new elevator connects the floors of the Alvar Aalto Museum and provides a complimentary tower in the ensemble of buildings. 97 Inscribed into the existing topography the principle volumes are constructed of elemental concrete. The concrete is white for its relation to the existing buildings and the curved wall has a scalloped vertical face that responds to the profile of the Aalto Museum s ceramic tiles. Large prefabricated concrete slabs are partially terrace the garden, their size recalling the ruinous fragments of an ancient architecture. In contrast to the monolithic, earthly construction, the light admitting upper volume of the museum shop, and the pergola-colonnade have a lightweight, assembled character of coloured steel components Year 2015 Location Jyväskylä, Finland Programme Museum shop & connection Client Alvar Aalto Foundation & City of Jyväskylä.

3 132. Bruton Studio An artist s retreat. The shed is made of distinct layers that each has a clear tectonic expression and contribution to environmental comfort. The structure is an enquiry into ideas about nature, order, material, and reflection.

4 This former belt fectory houses several media and digital companies in open plan layout. Through the insertion of a single architectural element, strong visual and spatial definition to the client s territory is defined. The plan of the meeting room has a similarity to that of the iconic Leeds Corn Exchange, all be it at a vastly different scale. Constructed from softwood, OSB and polycarbonate, a thick coat of whitish paint serves to monumentalise the form, The deep walls give a strong sense of solidity and enclosure. A series of windows can be opened on to the informal work spaces that are held between the curved form of the meeting room and the brick walls of the factory. These spaces have something of an urban character, like small market squares clustered around civic or religious buildings.

5 Sphinx like, the museum sits on the harbour edge addressing the city, the sea, and the world beyond. It s varied axes reflect the geometry of the 19th century city as it responds to the limits of topography and coastline. At ground floor the urban grid is expressed in a collection of orthogonally organised rooms including the hundred meter salon and the circular court. The upper floors of the building take on an informal character as they address the rising greenery of Tahitornin Vuori Park. A glazed promenade gives on to timber lined galleries of shifting plan geometry and a terraced landscape for events and the display of large artworks.

6 112. Primary Primary was set up in a disused school, and provides studios for over thirty artists. We were commissioned to prepare initial studies for the conversion of the school halls to exhibition and event spaces. Following successful funding bids a sequence of modifications have been completed and the building has been opened to the public with an eclectic programme of arts and community events. We have also been involved in specific aspects of the public programme, with our Paravent Crates designed as an interactive framing device for a series of events and exhibitions.

7 Price & Gore A series of interventions to improve the fabric, layout and external spaces of this Victorian terrace accommodating studios and upper floor apartments for two artists. The alterations improve access and daylighting to the studios and provides a new communal kitchen extension around a courtyard garden. The project is conceived as a pair of complementary interventions each comprising a staircase, a glazed screen, and a tree. To the front, the screen forms a new shopfront behind a brick tree pit and stair to the basement studio. To the rear, a glazed screen forms a facade for the kitchen extension and a concrete stair connects the two levels of the courtyard, where a large tree is retained in close proximity to the new building.
