〔안정원의 건축 칼럼〕자연과 동화된 흐름을 추구한 조경화된 건축의 묘미 1

● 멋진 세상 속 건축디자인_ 자연과 동화된 흐름을 추구한 조경화된 건축, 스페인 마요르카 섬의 루럴 호텔(Rural Hotel in Mallorca, Extension and Renovation)

지중해 서부에 마요르카 섬의 한적한 포엔샤 마을에 옛 수녀원을 활용한 5성급 호텔이 들어섰다. 호텔 주변으로는 와인 양조장이 자리하고 있고 건축가는 지형에 부합하고 조경화된 건축을 시도한다.

호텔은 기존의 오래된 건물과 주변 지형과의 조화로움을 추구하고자 가급적 저층으로 앉혀졌다. 지역적 특색을 활용하고자 전통적인 돌담을 활용하여 쌓아올린 덕택에 호텔의 공간은 낮은 지형에 흡수되는 모양새를 취한다.

호텔은 주말과 공휴일 휴양지를 찾은 고객을 위한 부티크 호텔로 4개의 스위트로 구성된다. 유선형으로 구획된 길과 건물의 동선을 따라 가다보면 자연스럽게 식물로 뒤덮인 객실의 지붕이 넌지시 바라보인다.

건물과 조경의 일체화된 흐름은 건축의 경계를 흐트러뜨리고 자연 속에 녹아든 듯한 묘한 분위기를 전해주기에 충분하다. 나란히 배치된 스위트 객실은 2개씩 서로 모여 있으며 낮고 긴 돌담으로 이어진다. >>Architects_ Estudio Carme Pinós, 기사 출처_ 에이앤뉴스 AN NEWS(ANN 뉴스센터) 제공

>>CARME PINÓS Carme Pinós set up her own studio in 1991 after winning international recognition for her work with Enric Miralles. Since then, she has worked on numerous projects ranging from urban refurbishments and public works to furniture design. Her sharp approach to design, anchored by a constant focus on experimentation and research, has made her work garner worldwide recognition at the same time that Barcelona architecture has cemented its own identity and reputation throughout Europe and South and North America. Among her most significant completed recent projects are the architectural set composed by Gardunya Square, Massana School of Arts, a housing block and the west façade of the popular La Boqueria Market in the Historical District of Barcelona(Spain), the Caixaforum Cultural and Exhibition Centre in Zaragoza(Spain), the Departments Building of the Vienna University of Economics and Business(Austria), Catalan Government Headquarters(Spain), the Cube I an Cube II Towers in Guadalajara(Mexico). In 2016 she was awarded the Richard J. Neutra Medal for Professional Excellence by the California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, in recognition of her career. She received the 2016 Berkeley-Rupp Architecture Professorship and Prize valuing her contribution to promoting the advancement of women in the field of architecture and her commitment to the community. In 2015 she was honoured with the Creu de Sant Jordi Medal, one of the highest civil distinctions awarded by the Catalan Government to individuals and organisations for their cultural and social services. She received the First Prize at the 2008 Spanish Biennial of Architecture, the National Award for Public Architecture by the Catalan Government in 2008, and the National Architecture Award by the High Council of Spanish Architects. She was named Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 2011 and RIBA International Fellow in 2013 for her outstanding contribution to architecture. Carme Pinós combines work as an architect with teaching, and is actively involved her in the development and delivery of seminars, courses and workshops worldwide. She has been guest professor at several higher education institutions, including the IUAV of Venice, Architecture Schools of Paris, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, Columbia University in New York, l’Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, Accademia di Archittetura di Mendrisio in Switzerland, Universitá di Roma Tre in Italy, among others. Her work has been widely exhibited in several galleries, museums and universities. The Centre Pompidou acquired the scale models of the Caixaforum Zaragoza in Spain, the Hotel Pizota in Mexico, and the Maison de l’Algérie of Paris. The model of the Cube I Tower currently belongs to the collection of New York’s MOMA. In 2018, her work was exposed at the Biennale Architecttura di Venezia.
