Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision Hilversum, the Netherlands

9:27 AM

 





Architect: Le Corbusier
Location Hilversum, the Netherlands
Date : 2006 
Building Type :Museums / Music schools/Music academies
Construction System: Glass and reinforced concrete
Climate: temperate
Context: Urban
Style: Modern
Notes: Light travels from the skylight and the stained-glass facades down through the atrium into the slate-clad archive.


This rectilinear volume contains a research institute and national archives for Dutch television and radio. Limited to a height of 82 ft (25 m) above ground, the building is divided into a thirteen-story block of offices and tech- nical installations, five stories of archives below grade, and three floors of exhibition space floating above a large central hall.

Entered at grade, the space of the central hall extends both down into a stepped canyon crossed by three bridges and up into a ziggurat-shaped void adjacent to the exhibition floors.

The descending and ascending spaces shear in perpendicular directions, torquing the internal space. This sheared section is less notable for its impact on the interiors within the sheared floors than for its shaping of the atrium. Carved into the center of the building, the atrium paradoxically emphasizes the programmatic division among three volumes while joining the assembly of this sheared section into a legible whole.
