Abstract

Upgrade' breathes new life into forgotten architecture. Past structures are consciously preserved and revamped, expanded and altered, to create something exciting and enticing. 'Upgrade' explores architectural and design concepts that seek to enhance and repurpose our surroundings from slight changes to complete renovations. Extensions upon a rooftop. Factories turned into relaxing retreats. Wood additions contrasting with antique brick exteriors. Through engaging anecdotes and inspiriting images, 'Upgrade' provides vibrant exemplars and enthusiasm for revamping existing spaces. Repurposing the unused: be it an empty chapel that becomes an inviting writer?s nook or a rotten barn converted into a cozy living space for a small family. The projects illustrate the possibility of adding a touch of the new to the old: farmhouses adorned with modern glass additions or churches whose traditional lines now frame an office. What are ruins to some become another?s architectural playground.

Abstract

Das Londoner Architekturbüro HawkinsBrown, 1988 von Roger Hawkins und Russell Brown gegründet, gehört zu den upcoming Büros der internationalen Architekturszene. Das Spektrum der Arbeiten reicht vom Wohnhaus und Interior Design über Bürobauten und verschiedene öffentliche Bauten wie Theater und Universitätsgebäude bis hin zum Urban Design wie Platzgestaltungen und U-Bahn-Stationen. Es gehört zum Selbstverständnis von HawkinsBrown, im integrativen Prozess mit allen Akteuren zu einem optimalen Ergebnis zu kommen. Das Buch dokumentiert ca. 25 Bauten aus den letzten fünf Jahren. Zu den vorgestellten Projekten gehören die Tottenham Court Road Underground Station - mit 100.000 Fahrgästen am Tag eine der geschäftigsten U-Bahnstation Londons (Fertigstellung 2011), die Stratford Regional Station in London - eine Zugangsplattform für eine der Hauptaustragungsstätten der Olympischen Spiele (Fertigstellung 2010), Park Hill - das Masterplanning für ein Stadtviertel in Sheffield, UK, (Fertigstellung 2011) und der Dubai Arts Pavilion in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten. The HawkinsBrown architectural firm in London, founded in 1988 by Roger Hawkins and Russell Brown, is one of the up-and-coming offices on the international architecture scene. The spectrum of the firm's works ranges from residences and interior design by way of office buildings and various public buildings such as theaters and university buildings all the way to urban planning, such as designs for squares and subway stations. HawkinsBrown strives to come to an optimal result in a process that integrates all of the players. HawkinsBrown has received numerous awards for various projects, such as the RIBA Award for its Wysing Arts Centre (2008), the New Chemistry Building of the University of Oxford (2009), and the New Art Exchange art center in Nottingham (2009) and the BREEAM Award for Eltham Hill Technology College (2008). This book documents some twenty-five buildings from the past five years. The projects presented include the Tottenham Court Road Underground Station, one of the busiest Tube stations in London with a hundred thousand passengers daily (to be completed in 2011); the Stratford Regional Station in London, an access platform for one of the major sites for the Olympic Games (to be completed in 2010); Park Hill, the master plan for a neighborhood in Sheffield (to be completed in 2011), and the Dubai Arts Pavilion in the United Arab Emirates.
