FRIIS Aalborg City Centre

Location: The shopping centre, which combines new

Aalborg, Denmark property and a renovation of the former
Magasin department store, covers a total area
Designer: of 60,000 sq m. The shops are located at street
C. F. Mller Architects level and on the first floor. Central Aalborg
was previously divided by the traffic along
Nytorv, but the FRIIS shopping centre now
Photographer: binds the city together. The shopping centre
Helene Hoyer, Steen & Strm has four main entrances: two main entrances
connect to the city's main street, Nytorv. One
Completion date: main entrance connects the Centre to the
2010 pedestrian shopping street of Nrregade, which
forms the northerly part of Aalborg's shopping
street network, and another main entrance
links the Centre to Aalborg's newly-refurbished
waterfront.
The building unites its many different functions
with a white stucco faade and striking glass
panels in structural glazing, but the faade also
reflects its diversity, just as it reflects the diverse
structure of the surrounding city from the
large-scale open areas towards the harbour
to the denser, more intimate shopping streets.
This is achieved through alternating motifs,
including window bays in various designs,
perforated steel plates in front of coloured
faade fields in different varieties, variations in
window formats and combinations of materials,
etc.

Atrio

Location: Atrio is in many respects conceptually as well as

Frankfurt, Germany architecturally no conventional shopping centre.
On the one hand, one is simply overwhelmed
Designer: by the scale of the over 100,000-square-metre
ATP stand-alone building which graces the southern
access to the city of Villach. The partly raised
building greets the visitor like a red and silver
Photographer: sculpture. "A Trio" is on the other hand the
Thomas Jantscher architectural programme of the building a
shopping centre which seeks to draw together
Completion date: three regions.
2007 The fluid entrance zone replaces no clear
border between outside and inside. The over-
dimensioned red entrance frame dominates
virtually the entire south faade; it highlights
both main faade and entrance like an original
piece of origami while creating a covered
forecourt which is conceived as an open stage
for events. The red 15 m wide canopy sculpture
is formed out of steel trusswork.
The Atrio can be entered from three circulation
cores and on three levels: The open-air stage
at the main entrance acts as a forum and open
communication-platform during the day. The
notion of the three regions is also symbolised
by a glass pyramid, a crystal which draws
daylight deep down into the parking levels. The
underground car park is continually in contact
with the centre: the views afforded by openings
in the slab give clients the feeling of standing in
the plaza before they have left the parking. The
feeling of being underground is also reduced
by the lifting of the main building and the very

gentle access to the basement parking. Clients
who park on the parking deck at second
floor level are oriented by a series of coloured
aluminium poles. The flat volume of the Atrio is
divided into a classic INTERSPAR supermarket
and a Shopping Mile focused on the central
square with the blue tower in its midst. Due to
its scale, the Plaza cannot be compared with
such spaces in conventional malls. In an area
of 50 m x 60 m an almost square glazed Atrium
was created which houses all those activities
buying, eating, playing, communicating and
loitering which combine to create a new
urban square for Villach. In order to intensify this
"street-like" feeling, the architect used various
granites as floor finishes at ground floor level
whereas the upper floor is finished in an elegant
Gailtaler marble.

2007 that will redefine the citys identity and urban
experience.
Many Jerde projects are inspired by the power
of nature as both a regenerative force and a
universally understood element that connects
old and new, East and West. In Namba Parks,
Jerde conceived of nature as a form of urban
intervention and designed Namba Parks as a
natural amenity that offers relief from the hard,
bustling city and creates a new experience
for Osaka.
The project's interior is a man-made canyon.
Originally conceived of by the client as a
simple concrete passageway to connect the
north and south parcels of the project site,
Jerde proposed a canyon instead. Constructed
from band of coloured stone, the canyon
reinforces the projects connection with nature
while forming the primary circulation pattern.
This path is carefully sculptured to produce a
sense of mystery and create a variety of coves,
caves, valleys and other exploratory spaces.

Namba Parks forms a dramatic new identity
for the city. Alongside a 30-storey office tower
and 46-storey residential tower, the project
features a new lifestyle commercial centre
with a rooftop that crosses the multiple blocks
while gradually ascending eight levels from
the streets of the city. The sloping nature of the
park serves as a green and highly visible oasis
in a city where nature is sparse. By connecting
to the street, the sloping park plane will draw
people up and into the project among groves
of trees, green spaces, water features and
outdoor terraces, where they can dine, read,
socialise, or simply taking in views of the city.

existing city networks, public transport,

dynamic place that pulls in visitors. Within each
scheme, horizontal and vertical pedestrian
routes are carefully planned.
A curvilinear art gallery will be an important
new cultural space for the area. This venue will
be integrated with retail and will break down
barriers between interior and exterior space,
a figurative gesture that will physically take
culture closer to the public realm.
This scheme represents a significant expansion
of Singapores public sphere, providing both
internal and external areas to be enjoyed by
all. At the heart of the development sits a new
3,000 sqm public square. This new urban space
will be a logical focal point for both large

Architecturally, The City 7 Mall's base is
composed of a dynamic collection of organic
forms that break the building mass down into
smaller, sculptural pieces. Using the client's
seven urban concepts as inspiration, Jerde
created a series of districts within the project
that serve the people on many levels from
entertainment and relaxation to living and
shopping. The project's three districts feature
plazas that are represented by the natural
elements of sky, water and earth. Each district
uses different colours and materials to establish
a sense of place, balance the active and quite
spaces, and encourage exploration through
the project.
Above the architecture is a large rooftop
park that spans the tops of three buildings.

It will be easily accessed by residents from
the neighbouring communities, hotel guests,
convention goers, and visitors.
Water is a basic design feature that physically
unifies the project. The City 7 Malls main
element is a canal that animates the project
as it links its different areas. From its origin in
the rooftop park, above the water district,
water travels through canals and waterfalls as
it makes its way down through the restaurants
and shops to the hotel and convention centre.
At the lower levels, water takes a variety of
forms, from a rapid stream to placid reflective
areas to interactive fountains, to create a
number of experiences.
Landscaping, with plants featuring a vivid
colour palette and variety of fragrances, ties
the City 7 Mall together from the richly planted
canal and throughout its many districts. Trees
placed around the perimeter of the project
help visually establish the City 7 Mall as the
new heart of the surrounding district, while
enhancing the pedestrian environment of the
overall area.

The building is an image of the content. It is a
home for the factionists, who shall be caught
like flies by light. No random additions were
to disturb the tailored design. Shiny white
letters in the red sky is the only exposure of
the companies inside. The only detached
department is the black box in the east end. As
the complex continues the urban pattern from
the 1950's, a pedestrian street cuts through the
site and divides one solo retailer from the large
department store. The little black is a contrast
to the grand evening dress.
The complex is erected on top of the subway
tracks, a site that did not exist when the project
started. The main entrance is thereby facing
the main access road, and the cutting edge
14-metre canopy works as a logotype for the

opening in the core of the building opens up
toward the light. To ascend the space shall be
a travel to the light as an aeroplane rising
through the clouds.
The scheme for Vllingby was simple and
straightforward. Orthogonal blocks with shops
on a large horizontal base, are decorated
with circular pattern in paving stones and
fountains. These elements are all present in the
plan and detailing of the new building as well.
Sadly, few of the buildings got the attention
originally intended. With the refurbishment of
the entire area and the erection of the fashion
department store K:fem, some of the original
ideas have been developed further, and the
new ideas adapted to the venue. It is sensitive,

Business centre in Saint-Etienne

Location: The site is a vital liaison point between the centre

Saint-Etienne neighbourhood, to which it forms a major
entranceway. It also constitutes a pole

Completion date: be part of the mix: shared corporate restaurant,

The idea is to develop a long built "continuum"
on the site to interact with adjacent streets. A
linear construction that rears up and unfolds
but also hugs the ground line to form a low
accessible building one that opens spacious
courts and lifts bold overhangs. Each of its large
bays serves an access route: the main portal
opens to the concourse on avenue Grner,
which draws pedestrians into the project in a
sliding movement. A high ceiling shelters and
magnifies this entranceway, which is the finest
and largest of three.The other two large "ports"
open the project to the streets that irrigate the
lot, interconnecting pedestrian itineraries in the
area.
Their desire for continuity in construction does
not simply reflect the idea of building a legible
and unitary urban landmark, it also provides
the flexibility that the project needs. In fact, the
principle behind this continuum is to imagine a
set of "communicating parts" that enable the
user-administrations to merge into a whole, one
and all, and to evolve according to their needs

in harmony with those of other tenants. The
absence of breaks in surfaces will ensure that
things remain open-ended, with the possibility
of extending or reducing space.
The project is like a large "Aztec serpent" rising
on the lot. Its body has three identical outer
faces, and an underside that is different: a skin
of silvery transparent scales and a bright yellow
"throat", shiny and opaque.
This dual treatment of surfaces obeys a simple
logic shared throughout, which aims at
expressing clarity in folds. Depending on these
movements, the yellow underside is either a
floating canopy or an interior vertical wall,
accompanying internal pedestrian movements
with its rich luminous presence. The nearness
of so much gorgeous yellow brightens up
pavements and glazed elevations, casting
golden washes over them like sunlightThis is a
project that is about bringing together yellow
and grey, silver and gold.

2008 shopping centre into the wider masterplan,
both in terms of design and connectivity. The
design for the new retail element of Highcross
extends the existing Shires scheme at all levels
to create an additional two-level enclosed mall.
The interior of the Shires has also undergone
a significant refurbishment, which seamlessly
integrates the existing centre internally with the
new mall extension and introduces a much
higher level of sustainability. Many of the same
design principles and palette of materials used
in the Shires refurbishment were introduced in
the new extension, creating a wide covered
street, continuing the existing street pattern
and linking to the public realm and new city
square. Public art forms an integral part of the
scheme and they worked closely with PIPA
Leicester (Program for the Implementation of
Art) to commission artists to produce art in key
public spaces in and around the development.

2007 patterns to create a Chinese atmosphere with
a modern touch. Some parts of the mirrors
were deliberately pressed into uneven surfaces,
creating a faade that shifts throughout the
day with the changing light of the sun. The
reflected light creates an enlarged surface
area and gives the complex completely
different looks during the day and at night.
By making a "decorative" and "surface"
interlacing in the form, they set a lot of square
size of the openings. The opening section can
be used as windows, advertising and a wide
variety of functions. Uses of these elements
constitute a complex and rich faade.

Galeries Lafayette Inspired by the famous glass dome above the
Galeries, Patrick reinterprets this emblem into
Completion date: abstracted, undulating rose petals that cover
2009 the low technical ceiling of the basement (only
2.4 metres) and seem to rise in the middle
like the cupola itself. The effect is feminine and
soft, with a sense of movement throughout the
petals that draws ones gaze deeper into the
space.
"The space retains the energy and excitement
of being in a bazaar," says Patrick Jouin. "A
department store is unlike other stores because
of this. You come here to stroll, to explore, to
browse, to seek inspiration, not
just to shop. So while the clients must always
be able to move easily from one section to
another, there should also be an element of
discovery and surprise."
Customers are led to the spacious basement
showroom by an elegant, central curving
staircase, whose golden railings resemble
flowing shoelaces. Once there, the space is
organised around an open space plan, each
brand demarcated from the others by the inox-
clad columns and built-in furniture designs,

with luxury brands lining the perimeter in their
own mini-boutiques the styles of which are
still integrated with the rest of the design. The
sculptural but minimal shoe displays throughout
the space resonate with the seating units,
footstools and couches, all custom-designed
by Jouin Manku, integrating special stitch
work that calls upon the renowned legacy of
footwear through the ages.
The strong sense of cohesion between all
of the elements in the space, and softness
about them, is created in part by the lighting
design. The play between shadows and light is
done both by the talented lighting designers,
L'Observatoire International, as well as the
colour palette darker tones of the custom
carpeting echo furniture elements, for example,
creating shadows within the space separate
of the actual lighting. "Light is a very important
element in this project," comments Patrick.
"both for being able to see all the details and
craftmanship in a pair of shoes, and seeing
how the shoes actually look on you."
