Castelvecchio Museum, Carlo Scarpa

A few of my (ordinary) photos of the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, and the renovation work by Carlo Scarpa. You'd  be better off doing a Google Image search of "Castelvecchio Scarpa". Look our especially for photos by Seier + Seier and Peter Guthrie.

There is an extraordinary digital archive of Scarpa's work at the Castelvecchio.

There are many very good books on Scarpa, but Richard Murphy's (tricky to find) book on the Castelvecchio is incredibly comprehensive and well illustrated. This edition in Italian only.

Approach to Central, 1912

There is also a great 1912 photo of the approach to Central from the North on Wikipedia

Paul Smith Albemarle St, 6a Architects

I'll put up a few links to projects Stephen showed on Friday.

First up, the Paul Smith Albermarle St store facade by 6a Architects.

It's also worthwhile looking at their Raven Row project.

There is a lovely book on 6a's approach by Irénée Scalbert.

Here is also a link to a lecture by Tom Emerson of 6a.

SESC Pompéia, Lina Bo Bardi

An essay on Lina Bo Bardi's remarkable SESC Pompéia. A few more images at archdaily.com.br (Portuguese).

Cafe Una, Vienna, Lacaton & Vassal

Enough railway stations (for the time being).

Let's have a look at a few strategies for re-inventing / re-organising existing buildings.

Have a look at the Cafe Una in the Museumsquatier in Vienna by Lacaton & Vassal.

Gare d'Orsay

Of course, perhaps the best known re-organisation of a station from a similar period as Central is Gae Aulenti's conversion of the Gare d'Orsay in Paris to the Musée d'Orsay.

Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin

The Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin has been converted into a gallery.

Another post about Carsten Höller's exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof here.

Gare de Lyon, Paris

A very nice restaurant at the Gare de Lyon in Paris.

Flinders Street Station Ballroom

Nice article on the Flinders Street Station Ballroom in Melbourne.

Estación de Atocha, Madrid

Obviously, I have little idea at this point which directions your designs are headed, but I have been thinking about projects I'd be using to inform my thinking on such a project. Some precedents are obvious, like railways stations, but some less so.

Rafael Moneo reorganised Atocha Railway Station in Madrid in 1985. Whilst that project is much bigger in scope than yours (I think), the transformation of the main hall into a garden is really lovely.

More images here.

S2, 2014

Well I haven't used this for a while, but this is my preferred forum for communication outside of Uni hours. If you have a question or comment, please post it as a reply to a post and hopefully i'll see it. As I think of things that may be relevant to your studio, i'll post stuff. The posts below relate to earlier studios, but feel free to have a look. I've got to go back and check whether things are current and edit accordingly. See you Friday.
