Nota biografica

Nota accademica

Fabrizio Barozzi ed Alberto Veiga iniziano la loro attività professionale fondando lo studio EBV nel 2004 a Barcellona (Spagna). EBV è uno studio di architettura che centra la sua attività professionale principalmente nella partecipazione a concorsi di architettura ed urbanistica, sia nell’ambito pubblico che in quello privato. Nel 2011 sono state ultimate le due prime opere: l’Auditorium di Águilas (Murcia) e la Sede del Consiglio Regolatore della D.O.C. Ribera del Duero a Roa (Burgos), entrambe in Spagna. Entrambi I lavori sono l’esito di due concorsi di progettazione vinti rispettivamente nel 2004 e nel 2006.Attualmente è in corso la realizzazione della Filarmonica di Szczecin in Polonia. L’incarico è frutto di un concorso di progettazione internazionale vinto nel 2007 e l’ultimazione è prevista per fine 2013. Recentemente EBV ha vinto consecutivamente due fra i piú importanti concorsi del panorama europeo: il concorso per il Polo Museale ed il Museo di Belle Arti di Losanna ed il concorso per il Bündner Kunstmuseum di Coira, entrambi in Svizzera. Il progetto di Losanna prevede la trasformazione di un’amplia area ferroviaria nel nuovo centro culturale della città, mentre il progetto di Coira consiste nell’estensione dell’attuale museo ristrutturato da Peter Zumthor. Entrambi i progetti sono attualmente in fase di progettazione esecutiva e l’inizio dei cantieri é previsto per Gennaio 2014. Altri lavori significativi in corso dello studio sono una Villa ad Ordos in Inner Mongolia (Cina), frutto dell’’incarico ricevuto nel 2008 da parte di Herzog & deMeuron a partecipare al progetto Ordos 100, un progetto curato dall’artista Ai Wei Wei per la realizzazione di 100 ville progettate da giovani architetti internazionali, un nuovo isolato di alloggi sociali nel centro storico di Úbeda (Spagna) ed una scuola di musica nel centro storico di Brunico (Italia) frutto di un concorso vinto nel 2012.EBV é stato recentemente selezionato dal Comité Nobel fra i venti finalisti scelti per partecipare al concorso internazionale per il nuovo Nobel Center a Stoccolma.Fra i numerosi premi che riconoscono la traiettoria professionale dello studio merita segnalare la Medaglia d’oro dell’architettura italiana all’opera prima assegnata dalla Triennale di Milano e il premio “Giovane talento dell’architettura italiana 2013” assegnato dal Consiglio Nazionale degli Architetti, Pianificatori, Paesaggisti e Conservatori.

Headquarters “Ribera del Duero”Roa. Spain

International competitionFirst prize

The site, on the edge of the town, has been sculpted by the city and the landscape, and the project, interprets this conditions showing the essential features that bring us closer to understanding it.

The building becomes an element of transition. Aware of the re-composition of the small scale context, and at the same time, establishing a dialogue with the horizon and the landscape monumentality, through the tower volume. A timeless monolith suspended over the plateau.

The embodiment of the building, through stone, is understood as an intensifi cation of the site nature, which allows to compose a sensorial invocation of the landscape, despite the presence of diff erence, in which the project expresses it radically contemporary condition.

The project is a natural response to the particular stimulus, off ered by the location. On one hand there is the need to respect the urban tissue that growths inside, on the other, there is the necessity of preserving the expressive hue of the natural landscape.

It is from this contrast, that we defi ne and articulate tensions which allows the project to organize itself with a coherent response to the constraints of place. A dialectic refl ection, simple but at the same time strong, between the urban artifi ciality and the organic naturalness.

Thus, the building results in a large mass, shaped in function of the tensions that proceeds from the diff erent character of the spaces surround it. Tangent to the town, the facades are clean, orderly and paused, while tangent to the sea, the facades translate the surrounding space and the confi guration off ered by the landscape and geography, through large and concave surfaces, that provides a direct and intensive relation with the surrounding natural environment.

International competitionFirst prize

The building rises up from the environment, trough the infl uence from the steep roofs and vertical extension of the residential buildings; from the monumental and vertical neo- Gothic ornaments of the churches and heavy volumes from classicism; from towers who scores the entire city, and industrial references such as winches and cranes.

Thus, the building is composed as a musical instrument itself. As a body, the juxtaposition of small scale elements ends up setting a whole which features the place where it fi ts.

Through the expressionist thoughts, we try to use the geometry to fi nd a new rhythm, able to convey emotions through the balance between mass and the verticality of it. The glass, as coating material, highlights the contrast with the surrounding condition, creating a bright, transparent and vertical object.

The project is based on two main ideas. First, the defi nition of a new urban and public space for the city. We believe that in contemporary cities, the relationship between buildings and the public space is more important than the buildings. The second idea is to maintain an emotional and symbolic relation with the history of the site.

The building of MCBA defi nes a limit, conceived as an inhabited wall that protects the longitudinal space of the square from the universe of trains. The MCBA is a monolithic building that functions as a neutral background. Two carefully chosen elements of the pre-existing hall of 1911 create a memory of its industrial past.

The project seeks an emotional and symbolic

connection with the existing building by underlining the more characteristic elements and conceives them as found objects.

International competitionFirst prize

The new extension of the Bündner Kunstmuseum has been conceived as a simple and compact volume which is perfectly integrated in its immediate urban surroundings. The clear independence of the new building in relation to the adjacent buildings reinforces the importance of the garden in the new Museum areal and confers the building an independent and sober appearance.

The project of the new museum arises from the original geometric axes of the existing Villa Planta, and is positioned on its central axe. This central and symmetrical compositive scheme becomes an architectonic dialogue, a “continuum” with Villa Planta.

A high open portal on Grabenstrasse indicates the entrance to the new museum. The foyer is a large open space directly connected with Villa Planta and the sculpture garden, characterized by the presence of oriental cherry trees. A bright staircase, with views to the garden, leads to the exhibition rooms which are located in the basement.

The project proposes an alternative position of the new building that permits to preserve the singular specifi city of the urban historic area of Brunico and the importance of the historic building Casa Ragen.

As a result of this motivation, the project simply consists of the construction of a new perimeter edge that surrounds a garden. So it can achieve two essential goals: fi rstly, to be in continuity with the urban tissue by completing it as an analogy of the constant connection between the noble villa and its open space attached. This operation consolidates and completes a singular and specifi c urban tissue that must be preserved. Secondly, it permits to preserve and to enhance the urban predominance of Casa Ragen in the urban environment, understanding the enlargement as a complementary element of the preexistence.

The construction of this “new boundary wall” also permits a clear and precise performance of the new music school.

The new building for the Tanzhaus Zürich and the Fashion School provides a unique opportunity to requalify a part of the Limmat River and the path Kloster-Fahr-Weg. A new terraced volume improves the urban situation of the Limmat space and complements the surroundings made of protected gardens and parks. The industrial atmosphere of the place is preserved and even strengthened.

The large space in front of the building and the reduced height of the facade, allows the building to open out to the environment and to confer this area a new urban and public character. The building is perceived as a new identity-object along the urban river area.

The graded building volume is perfectly integrated into the existing topography. Organising the building in two levels allows a clear functional concept. The access of both schools, the Fashion School in the upper level and the Tanzhaus on the lower level, takes place independently solving easily the intern connections as well as the connection to the surroundings.
