This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p> ', 'program' => 'Public Service Hall', 'location' => 'Lazika, Georgia ', 'area' => '2075', 'budget' => '$9 mil ', 'consultants' => 'Engenuiti, Progressi, Casacalda, Arctrade, Reynaers, Anagi', 'awards' => 'Finalist Office Award OfficeNext2013 Moscow ', 'year' => '2012', 'image' => '45c0cffd63e2b19bd924e0f5da35d4be.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_Lazika.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Dolidze,Salome Ghudushauri,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze,Davit Tsanava', 'created' => '2013-12-12 19:00:18', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi' ), (int) 7 => array( 'id' => '51', 'order' => '36', 'slug' => 'office-a', 'name' => 'Class-A Office', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '4', 'content' => '<p>This office building with underground car park is located in centre of the city.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p> ', 'program' => 'Public Service Hall', 'location' => 'Lazika, Georgia ', 'area' => '2075', 'budget' => '$9 mil ', 'consultants' => 'Engenuiti, Progressi, Casacalda, Arctrade, Reynaers, Anagi', 'awards' => 'Finalist Office Award OfficeNext2013 Moscow ', 'year' => '2012', 'image' => '45c0cffd63e2b19bd924e0f5da35d4be.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_Lazika.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Dolidze,Salome Ghudushauri,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze,Davit Tsanava', 'created' => '2013-12-12 19:00:18', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '5', 'title' => 'Built', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:57:39', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:50' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 12 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 13 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '41', 'order' => '2', 'slug' => 'national-olympic-committee-house', 'name' => 'National Olympic Committee House', 'project' => '', 'client' => 'National Olympic Committee GEONOC', 'status_id' => '5', 'content' => '<p>The practice was appointed by GEONOC to complete the restoration of the exterior, landscape design of surrounding gardens, museum design and office spaces for over 100 members of staff.

The surrounding area is mostly residential with some public buildings and recreational zones like Alexandrov Park, Vernissage Park and Deda Ena Park. The site is mostly flat with a 6m level difference from Virsaladze street. There is a theatre building adjacent to the site and the river bank. Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west. These are the main visual markers in relation to the building. ‘Tbilisi Tower Floating City’ The concept behind this building is the idea of elevated traditional urban fabric as a public platform which acts like viewing platform and terrace overlooking the city.</p> <p>---</p> <p>However, the building is positioned as a conventional tower, and it dismantles at its apex as if lowering its full height to more horizontality. This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

'<p>Architects of Invention submitted a proposal as part of an invited competition for a new build to the north west of the city, just on the outskirts of the city centre and close to the Tbilisi Court building. The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby. </p> <p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br /> The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p> ', 'program' => 'Offices', 'location' => '8 Aghmashenebeli av.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p> ', 'program' => 'Public Service Hall', 'location' => 'Lazika, Georgia ', 'area' => '2075', 'budget' => '$9 mil ', 'consultants' => 'Engenuiti, Progressi, Casacalda, Arctrade, Reynaers, Anagi', 'awards' => 'Finalist Office Award OfficeNext2013 Moscow ', 'year' => '2012', 'image' => '45c0cffd63e2b19bd924e0f5da35d4be.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_Lazika.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Dolidze,Salome Ghudushauri,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze,Davit Tsanava', 'created' => '2013-12-12 19:00:18', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '5', 'title' => 'Built', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:57:39', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:50' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 12 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 13 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '41', 'order' => '2', 'slug' => 'national-olympic-committee-house', 'name' => 'National Olympic Committee House', 'project' => '', 'client' => 'National Olympic Committee GEONOC', 'status_id' => '5', 'content' => '<p>The practice was appointed by GEONOC to complete the restoration of the exterior, landscape design of surrounding gardens, museum design and office spaces for over 100 members of staff.

Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure. The staircase is a steel frame with MDF panels and the frame, steps and handrails are finished with maple veneer. The seemingly endless twists and turns of the staircase refer to the limitless possibilities of human achievement.</p> <p>Architect Nikoloz Japaridze explains “This work represents the idea of dynamics in sport with the abstract compositions of the staircase and the reception table.

Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

'<p>Architects of Invention submitted a proposal as part of an invited competition for a new build to the north west of the city, just on the outskirts of the city centre and close to the Tbilisi Court building. The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby. </p> <p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br /> The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p> ', 'program' => 'Offices', 'location' => '8 Aghmashenebeli av.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p> ', 'program' => 'Public Service Hall', 'location' => 'Lazika, Georgia ', 'area' => '2075', 'budget' => '$9 mil ', 'consultants' => 'Engenuiti, Progressi, Casacalda, Arctrade, Reynaers, Anagi', 'awards' => 'Finalist Office Award OfficeNext2013 Moscow ', 'year' => '2012', 'image' => '45c0cffd63e2b19bd924e0f5da35d4be.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_Lazika.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Dolidze,Salome Ghudushauri,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze,Davit Tsanava', 'created' => '2013-12-12 19:00:18', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '5', 'title' => 'Built', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:57:39', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:50' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 12 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 13 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '41', 'order' => '2', 'slug' => 'national-olympic-committee-house', 'name' => 'National Olympic Committee House', 'project' => '', 'client' => 'National Olympic Committee GEONOC', 'status_id' => '5', 'content' => '<p>The practice was appointed by GEONOC to complete the restoration of the exterior, landscape design of surrounding gardens, museum design and office spaces for over 100 members of staff.

Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure.

The size of the Public Hall defines the first volume, which is rectangular and also contains office space.--- The second volume is oval and set apart from the rectangular block to accommodate a covered entrance and public walkway between the buildings, connecting the square to one of Ozurgeti’s major boulevards. Each form is double-storied and linked by an underground corridor. The exteriors and interiors are uniform white, adding to a sense of luminosity. The choice of 100% transparent low emission glass creates brightness inside the building. This building is contextual, with a clear relationship to the city and its surroundings.

The surrounding area is mostly residential with some public buildings and recreational zones like Alexandrov Park, Vernissage Park and Deda Ena Park. The site is mostly flat with a 6m level difference from Virsaladze street. There is a theatre building adjacent to the site and the river bank. Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west. These are the main visual markers in relation to the building. ‘Tbilisi Tower Floating City’ The concept behind this building is the idea of elevated traditional urban fabric as a public platform which acts like viewing platform and terrace overlooking the city.</p> <p>---</p> <p>However, the building is positioned as a conventional tower, and it dismantles at its apex as if lowering its full height to more horizontality. This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

'<p>Architects of Invention submitted a proposal as part of an invited competition for a new build to the north west of the city, just on the outskirts of the city centre and close to the Tbilisi Court building. The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby. </p> <p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br /> The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p> ', 'program' => 'Offices', 'location' => '8 Aghmashenebeli av.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p> ', 'program' => 'Public Service Hall', 'location' => 'Lazika, Georgia ', 'area' => '2075', 'budget' => '$9 mil ', 'consultants' => 'Engenuiti, Progressi, Casacalda, Arctrade, Reynaers, Anagi', 'awards' => 'Finalist Office Award OfficeNext2013 Moscow ', 'year' => '2012', 'image' => '45c0cffd63e2b19bd924e0f5da35d4be.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_Lazika.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Dolidze,Salome Ghudushauri,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze,Davit Tsanava', 'created' => '2013-12-12 19:00:18', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '5', 'title' => 'Built', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:57:39', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:50' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 12 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 13 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '41', 'order' => '2', 'slug' => 'national-olympic-committee-house', 'name' => 'National Olympic Committee House', 'project' => '', 'client' => 'National Olympic Committee GEONOC', 'status_id' => '5', 'content' => '<p>The practice was appointed by GEONOC to complete the restoration of the exterior, landscape design of surrounding gardens, museum design and office spaces for over 100 members of staff.

Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure. The staircase is a steel frame with MDF panels and the frame, steps and handrails are finished with maple veneer. The seemingly endless twists and turns of the staircase refer to the limitless possibilities of human achievement.</p> <p>Architect Nikoloz Japaridze explains “This work represents the idea of dynamics in sport with the abstract compositions of the staircase and the reception table.

The design relies upon the principle of juxtaposition -- but results in a singular body of architecture. The plot and context are wildly complex and the building is highly responsive to these.</p> <p>The building's beauty is in its plan and its appearance. It is a singular "mass" of stone responding to the very tight conditions of the typologically and materially different buildings around it. It has very strong, but at the same time very subtle, presence. The architectural expression is dispersed by its uniform rythmic marble facade grid, emphasised by diagonal breakpoints at the juxtaposition of the building volumes. The breakpoints accentuate the dynamic relationship of the volumes suggesting organic transition of the facade grid.</p> <p>The building uses an innovative facade system of Jura marble veneer fixed to ceramic tiles. This system is used here for the first time in Russia.</p> <p>The building is appealing to the local architectural community, who value the cohesive nature of European architectural culture and expression (such as Mies van de Rohe's aphorism 'Less is more').

The surrounding area is mostly residential with some public buildings and recreational zones like Alexandrov Park, Vernissage Park and Deda Ena Park. The site is mostly flat with a 6m level difference from Virsaladze street. There is a theatre building adjacent to the site and the river bank. Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west. These are the main visual markers in relation to the building. ‘Tbilisi Tower Floating City’ The concept behind this building is the idea of elevated traditional urban fabric as a public platform which acts like viewing platform and terrace overlooking the city.</p> <p>---</p> <p>However, the building is positioned as a conventional tower, and it dismantles at its apex as if lowering its full height to more horizontality. This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

'<p>Architects of Invention submitted a proposal as part of an invited competition for a new build to the north west of the city, just on the outskirts of the city centre and close to the Tbilisi Court building. The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby. </p> <p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br /> The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p> ', 'program' => 'Offices', 'location' => '8 Aghmashenebeli av.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices). The public hall has clear walls on all four sides. The wedding hall is a dynamic volume where floor, wall and ceiling utilises the same material and the curve they describe brings dynamics to the adjacent terrace which lies underneath the top volume. The top volume is an enclosed mass, concentrated on the activity of office work, but it too, gives precedence to the void at its centre.</p> ', 'program' => 'Public Service Hall', 'location' => 'Lazika, Georgia ', 'area' => '2075', 'budget' => '$9 mil ', 'consultants' => 'Engenuiti, Progressi, Casacalda, Arctrade, Reynaers, Anagi', 'awards' => 'Finalist Office Award OfficeNext2013 Moscow ', 'year' => '2012', 'image' => '45c0cffd63e2b19bd924e0f5da35d4be.jpg', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_Lazika.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Dolidze,Salome Ghudushauri,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze,Davit Tsanava', 'created' => '2013-12-12 19:00:18', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '5', 'title' => 'Built', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:57:39', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:50' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 12 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 13 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 2 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '41', 'order' => '2', 'slug' => 'national-olympic-committee-house', 'name' => 'National Olympic Committee House', 'project' => '', 'client' => 'National Olympic Committee GEONOC', 'status_id' => '5', 'content' => '<p>The practice was appointed by GEONOC to complete the restoration of the exterior, landscape design of surrounding gardens, museum design and office spaces for over 100 members of staff.

Perhaps the most striking element of the scheme is the staircase that winds through the building’s four storeys, linking exhibitions spaces and offices. The architects had to reinforce the basement level to allow large openings in the walls of the upper storeys so that the staircase could penetrate the structure. The staircase is a steel frame with MDF panels and the frame, steps and handrails are finished with maple veneer. The seemingly endless twists and turns of the staircase refer to the limitless possibilities of human achievement.</p> <p>Architect Nikoloz Japaridze explains “This work represents the idea of dynamics in sport with the abstract compositions of the staircase and the reception table. The first object you encounter is the introverted desk with its never-ending fissure, and then you meet the extroverted staircase like the open path to Olympus, where the summit meets its own reflection, inferring that striving never ends, that there is no limit to human achievement”.<cut><cut><cut></cut></cut></cut></p> <cut></cut>', 'program' => 'Office', 'location' => '11 Machabeli street, Tbilisi, Georgia ', 'area' => '2300', 'budget' => '$1 mil', 'consultants' => '', 'awards' => 'Best Office Award OfficeNext2012 Moscow', 'year' => '2011', 'image' => '5d2b902537e6842161e07c59e2a1525c.png', 'pdf' => 'AI Works_NOCH.pdf', 'team' => 'Davit Canava,Nikoloz Gurabanidze,Nikoloz Japaridze,Eka Kankava,Devi Kituashvili,Ivane Ksnelashvili,Nikoloz Maisuradze,Eka Rekhviashvili,Gogiko Sakvarelidze', 'created' => '2013-12-12 18:29:47', 'modified' => '2024-02-24 16:03:26', 'is_selected' => '1', 'photographer' => 'Nakanimamasakhlisi', 'locale' => 'eng' ), 'Status' => array( 'id' => '5', 'title' => 'Built', 'created' => '2013-10-14 14:57:39', 'modified' => '2019-05-14 10:35:50' ), 'Image' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 8 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 9 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 10 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 11 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'titleTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'contentTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'projectTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'locationTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'programTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'teamTranslation' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'Project' => array( 'id' => '42', 'order' => '3', 'slug' => 'house-of-justice', 'name' => 'House of Justice', 'project' => '', 'client' => '', 'status_id' => '5', 'content' => '<p>Architects of Invention were invited to submit a proposal by Georgia’s House of Justice.

Construction began in September 2011.<cut></cut><br /> </p> <p><cut>The Ministry building brings together a number of services - the Civil Registry Agency, National Agency of Public Registry, National Archives of Georgia, National Bureau of Enforcement and Notary Chamber - under one roof, creating a new blueprint for a government building. Inspired by a classical Greek form, the Ministry is fronted with regular columns, but, rather than a rendered façade, the columns support a canopy beneath which are two independent and contrasting glass volumes. The size of the Public Hall defines the first volume, which is rectangular and also contains office space.--- The second volume is oval and set apart from the rectangular block to accommodate a covered entrance and public walkway between the buildings, connecting the square to one of Ozurgeti’s major boulevards.

Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west.

This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.

'<p>Architects of Invention submitted a proposal as part of an invited competition for a new build to the north west of the city, just on the outskirts of the city centre and close to the Tbilisi Court building. The building was completed in February 2012. The brief was to create workspace for 60 members of staff, a substantial lobby and car parking. Work began in May 2011 and the building was completed in early 2012. The building consists of a stalwart, stark black frame that has luminous, delicate volumes suspended within it. 70% of the building is freestanding away from the sides and the ground creating an impression of ‘floating’ forms. The volumes make way for a passageway to one side of the building, creating a physical transparency of the building that is alluded to throughout the design.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The suspended volumes are staggered so that they create terraces and balconies. The interior intelligently uses glass to create a feeling of transparency and light, in contrast to the dark impenetrable framework. The ground floor serves as the main access area with security check in and lobby. </p> <p>The top floor is dedicated to the Prosecutor's office, a meeting room, canteen and veranda for use by staff. A sky park, or roof garden, is used for conferences and celebrations. In contrast to the openness of the front facing facade, the back of the building is smooth and functional with few windows. The choice of materials and the form have been chosen to reflect the function of the building.<br /> The stark geometry of the black frame represents the uncompromising nature of the legal system. Inside the building, a clustered, mirrored volume endlessly throws reflections: “The semantic message here is that the centre is unknowable purely because it is an endless reflection and ordering of the world around it”, says Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze. “The structure mirrors the brain; the glass exterior mimics the lobar matter which processes exterior realities, while the hypothalamus is the centre of the nervous system controlling temperature, hunger, thirst and fatigue”.</p> ', 'program' => 'Offices', 'location' => '8 Aghmashenebeli av.

The brief was to create a Public Service Hall, a Wedding Hall and Municipal Offices. Work on the project began at the end of January, 2012, and the building was completed in mid-September, 2012. The building was constructed in 168 days with a progressive drafting schedule.</p> <p>The architects explain that the building is a juxtaposition between a building and a sculpture. It is not divided into floors but is comprised of volumes each volume of the building can function separately from the other. Architects of Invention founder Nikoloz Japaridze explains: ‘Lazika Town Hall is a rectilinear experiment in the vertical displacement of solid mass'. ‘This is a series of floating objects which should set the stage for this new city on the marshlands.</p> <p>---</p> <p><br /> The local architecture was historically stilt-supported so there is natural precedent here,’ says Japaridze. He cites Yona Friedman’s ‘floating city’ as the main correlation point for this project. The ambition of this project was to make a building as a sculpture made out of one material. The suspended volumes create public spaces, separated from each other, forming a monument, and saliently, a benchmark for the new architecture of new futuristic city. Our priority here was the void, not the mass we began with the empty space since this is a project of the future and there is no memory to which solid mass might refer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead of carving voidspace from a cube, we have done the reverse. It is a void with volumes inserted and each volume has a fragile connection to the others, via the void. For example, there is a red glass tube (the elevators) connecting the lower floors with the top cubic volume so the experience is of transition, as though through red lens. When you navigate the building, the voids are felt more than the solid forms it can be daunting at times. Paul Grimes, director of Engenuiti, describes the structure: ‘The structural frame is constructed from steel, utilizing a series of raking steel columns to produce the dramatic floated upper platform. Challenges include the seismic conditions and the sympathetic employment of local skills to achiev what will be an iconic statement of architectural ambition’.</p> <p> </p> <p>The foundation solution was for 80 piles 800mm diameter (has bbeen installed through rotary percussion methods)and up to 25m deep. Control of settlements due to organic layers and control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event were the main concerns. A key consideration in the design was the need to control costs where possible but also to use local materials and local labour so as to give the maximum benefit to the local economy. Normally this would push the design towards a structural concrete solution in Georgia. However the complexity of the project dictated that the project is best developed using a Structural Steel Framing Solution.</p> <p>The Site</p> <p>Lazika is a newly founded city on the Black Sea coast, located on previously uninhabited coastal wetlands. Lazika is located one mile to the south of the sea resort Anaklia and 3 miles south of Georgia's border with Abkhazia. The name 'Lazika' refers to the Graeco-Roman name for the region. The city’s existence was announced in December, 2011 by President Saakashvili, and established upon the completion of the Lazika municipality building in September 2012. The city remains in limbo with only one building, the municipality building, having been constructed. Currently, Lazika's future hangs in the balance, as the new government decides its course of action. The architecture of this particular area (Mengrelia West Georgia) reflects environmental considerations. The region has high level of humidity and dump soil, so local peoples traditionally built houses on stilts with no foundation to encourage ventilation from underneath and keep the structure dry. The site is almost at the existing mean sealevel and hence the client needed to be aware of the risks associated with anticipated global warming and subsequent sea level rises which could be in excess of 1m during the next century (based on climate modeling).The water table is between 1 and 1.5 m below ground level. Our main concerns included the control of settlement due to organic layers and the control of potential liquefaction of the ground during a seismic event. The Caucasus region, in which the site is located, is one of the most seismically active regions in the Alpine-Himalayan collision belt. This seismicity is driven on a global scale by the collision of the African and Arabian tectonic plates with the Eurasian plate. Based on our understanding of the regional geology it is valid to assume one of the worst ground conditions for seismic design Ground Profile E to EC8. The water table is between 1 to 1.5 m below ground level.</p> <p>Elevated Plinths</p> <p>The three volumes of this structure are all detached from the ground at different levels. Each of these three shapes are devoted to different functions. Each of these three volumes operates self-sufficiently and has its own entrance from the street but they are also interconnected. The volume on the ground level is designated as the main Public Services Hall, with easy access at street level. The second volume is dedicated for use as a wedding ceremony hall with direct access to a large terrace. The third volume floats 20m above the ground and contains office spaces. Only pillars and circulation points touch the ground. The perforated steel sheet cladding finishing of the facade of the top volume bring 50% transparency and lend a solid quality to the volume at the same time. The steel frame structure is integrated throughout all parts of the design and this frame is exposed to emphasise the building's technology and spirit of innovation. The top volume have the dimensions of 35mx35m, and its downward projection describes the contours of the building which is a parallelogram containing positive and negative space. A specific appearance was given to each functional volume the transparent (public hall), the semi-transparent (wedding hall), and the translucent (offices).

The surrounding area is mostly residential with some public buildings and recreational zones like Alexandrov Park, Vernissage Park and Deda Ena Park. The site is mostly flat with a 6m level difference from Virsaladze street. There is a theatre building adjacent to the site and the river bank. Holy Trinity Church and President Place building is on the east side, and a new Radisson Hotel is on the west side of the site and Mount Mtatsminda is to the south west. These are the main visual markers in relation to the building. ‘Tbilisi Tower Floating City’ The concept behind this building is the idea of elevated traditional urban fabric as a public platform which acts like viewing platform and terrace overlooking the city.</p> <p>---</p> <p>However, the building is positioned as a conventional tower, and it dismantles at its apex as if lowering its full height to more horizontality. This emphasises the gravitational conditions of the platform which semantically tend towards being a substance floating over the ground, derived from the notion of a cloud or a light sense of a matter. This follows the architectural tradition of Metabolists Kisho Kurokawa, Arata Isozaki, Archigram, Yona Friedman and other great architects bringing ideas and forces of gravity into reality. The building is formed as three distinct volumes dividing the building by dedicated functions. The programme is distributed into staggered components on top of each other by emphasising a middle core as a single function office. The top volume is formed as shifted single height volumes and terraces. A gym, spa, cafe, restaurants, conference, library and skypark with helicopter pad crown the building. On the ground floor there is an office lobby, a retail, cafe, an administration and a business centre. Programme The density and mixture of programme of the proposed building has emerged based on a number of considerations: Primarily, the desire to bring different aspects of urban life to a residential area. In other words, to provide open elevated platforms for enjoying panoramic views of the city. A focus has been given to introducing mixed programme platforms on top and bottom levels of the building. There are no existing viewing platforms for public use in the old city area. The inclusion of elevated platforms in the building will define its uniqueness and importance in Tbilisi. The programme mixture has been driven by a comprehensive feasibility study and market assessment in which various asset classes were analysed. The relative opportunities for each component of programme resulted in an optimal development mix to meet possible public needs.</p> ', 'program' => 'Office,Commercial,Restaurant,Apart-Hotel,GYM,Spa and Sky Park', 'location' => '3 Virsaladze str.
