I've Been Hoarding Art

I’ve Been Hoarding Art

It’s not black and white. 

I thought I had to define myself with one thing. People said have a niche so you can stand out. Find something you love and stick to it. But what happens when passions change and curiosities grow? 

I did conceptual photography for a few years, it was my therapy. But eventually, it wasn’t enough. I learned new things and different techniques, but they weren’t “on…

Latvia Pavilion at EXPO 2020 Dubai

Project description:

Latvia pavilion – Soil (for innovation) at Expo 2020 Dubai is designed as a symbiosis of ancient and futuristic. The Latvian genetic code has been chosen as its basic material – peat, which is used as a canvas on which to tell the stories of Latvia’s potential and future development.

Prehistoric material contains unique information about the history of Latvia, ancient plants, trees, people, while modern technologies allow you to look to the future and tell about the vision of Latvia’s future image.

Conceptually, the exhibition is designed as a manifestation of constant progression. The visitor of the pavilion experiences four dimensions of Latvia.

The further the visitor goes through the exposition, the wider view of Latvia as a place for growth and innovation he has experiences. The content of the exhibition is designed as 4 multimedia stories about Latvia in 4 different rooms/zones with 4 different volumetric elements (exhibits), told using 4 different digital technologies. The stories are derived from the main values of Latvia’s image or: Latvia – Soil for experiments; Soil for discoveries; Soil for connectivity; Soil for innovation.

The exhibition is created as an example of sustainable thinking, where ecological, renewable material coexists with modern technologies. After Expo 2020 exposition peat will be returned back to swamp – the place where it came from.

There it will blend with soil and disappear while technologies will be reused. To further emphasize the contrast between prehistoric material and modern technology and at the same time emphasize harmony between two opposites, peat objects are made of sculptural reliefs created with the help of a three-axis robotic cutter using a digitally designed three-dimensional model.

All elements are prefabricated in factory in Latvia and systematically assembled in pavilion.

“Black Powder” Photography by Damion Berger

Gunpowder, also known as black powder, is the earliest known chemical explosive. Following its invention in ancient China, the earliest documentation of fireworks can be traced back to the 9th century when they were first used by the Chinese to frighten away evil spirits and pray for happiness and prosperity.

Damion Berger (b. London 1978) is a photographer who’s artwork makes the viewer question the possibilities of photography and its relationship to time and movement. Operating between abstraction and conceptualism, his unorthadox approach to traditional photographic process typically employs long exposure and in-camera techniques to make photographic ‘recordings’ that probe the nature and convention of photography. At the heart of his practice are experiments in mark-making, quite literally painting with light – exploring the relationship between time, movement and light, his work flips the concept of the photographic moment on its head, rendering the invisible…visible.  Often printed in the negative, his photographs resemble layered line drawings and reference the historical evolution of photography whilst engaging in dialogue across broader artistic mediums.

He currently lives and works between New York and France.

Thanks Ricardo Pinto and Wired

Reflecting on the nature and form of fireworks and their role in contemporary culture, these photographs ostensively record worldly celebrations memorialized with pyrotechnics, from the inauguration of Earth’s tallest building in downtown Dubai to art performances in the Jardin de Tuileries.

Grand in both size and scale, these images are made using in-camera techniques such as long and overlapping exposures and unorthodox combinations of focus and aperture to select, sculpt and multiply the explosions onto a single sheet of film. They are printed back as negatives by making facsimile enlargements of the exposed film.

DOHA TO THE WORLD

The Making Doha Exhibition was a temporary exhibition within the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) and it has plans to travel around the world to come back as a permanent exhibition in 2022. It charts out the architectural acmes of Doha and shows how a country used design to map it’s capital city’s economic growth. By Sindhu Nair

Making Doha 1950-2030 is an exhibition that charts the architectural map of the city as it evolved under a country that discovered oil to economic and social progress through gas exports. While it is entirely an architecture and urban planning research-based exhibition, the curation is ingenuously appealing to the common man. The exhibition is a revelation to those who have lived in Qatar all their lives as the exhibits usher in nostalgic memories, it is also equally fascinating to those expats who have seen the skyscape and city structure change before their eyes. For a new visitor, who has not seen much of the country, this is a historical perspective of how a country, not much known in the architectural realm, creates a well-planned city that has grown organically.

Fatima Al Sehlawi with Rem Koolhaas and Samir Bantal of OMA/AMO

Curated by Rem Koolhaas and Samir Bantal of OMA/AMO and Fatma Al Sehlawi of the Qatar based research team from Atlas Bookstore, and designed by a team from OMA/AMO, Making Doha 1950-2030 brings together 70 years of photographs, models, plans, texts, films, oral histories, and archival materials to chart Doha’s transition from organic growth to more modern and deliberate planning practices. Scaletalks to Fatma Al Sehlawi to understand the process behind this herculean task of mapping the progress of the city through its architectural works.

As Fatma takes Scale on this journey of discovery, we come to a conclusion that there cannot be a more passionate person than this Qatari architect and curator whose knowledge in the field of architecture surpasses only her love for her country.

But how did QMA zero-in on OMA and Atlas Bookstore for this arduous task?

“Both OMA and I had working relations with Qatar Museums (QM); I was employed by QM to lead projects that were commissioned to QMA to master plan and design. I personally curated exhibitions on the architecture and urbanism of the Middle East and North Africa, through the research carried out by Atlas Bookstore. OMA/AMO had completed a number of exhibition commissions around the world. The largest and possibly most famous of them is the 2014 Venice Biennale,” explains Fatma.

The exhibition was the brainchild of Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson of Qatar Museums. Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa wanted to have an architecture exhibition for the opening of NMoQ as the first temporary exhibition within the Museum. This temporary exhibition space within NMoQ will have a new exhibition every six months.

“The brief was to put together an exhibition on the architecture of the country. It was a wide brief and we had to put together a structure and different parameters to group projects around it. We decided on a time period; we decided to start from the year 1950 to 2030. The year 1950 followed the first export of oil out of the country in 1949 and it was also the year when concrete was used for the first time as a building material. Before that, it was mud bricks or stone that was put to use as building materials. The introduction of new material was the initiation of the birth of a modern city and the income from oil would facilitate that. Hence this was the year that Doha moved on to become a modern city.”

The visitors are greeted by a timeline represented on the flooring that guides one chronologically to the developments within the country. One starts in the year 1950.

“Pictures and videos show life in Doha at that period of time and we have the first two documentaries made by foreign petroleum companies that show how life was in that period,” says Fatma.

The amount of research that has gone into this exhibition can be perceived by the various photographs and videos displayed but what is important to note is that the country till then did not have such documentation of life and architecture, collected or saved in archives together under one authority.

“There was not a single archive where we could source all the information, so we had to visit all these different entities to get the relevant material,” says Fatma who was in charge of research and her team under the aegis of Atlas Bookstore divided the various mediums involved amongst the team and collected information of Doha across those mediums, like video content, newspaper clippings, mention of Qatar and Doha in various foreign publication in the 50s, through oral history and architectural briefs and so on, “It wasn’t a very direct method of research. We had our brief in December 2018 and we needed to have all this ready by March 2019.”

The next hurdle was the display. The wall surface within the exhibition space was challenging with plates meeting and crossing at different levels, giving a complicated inner wall surface, as complex as it looks in the façade. “We solved this problem by creating a visual collage with historic moments in pictures depicted in it. This was then printed on a 120-metre long curtain that smoothened out the periphery,” explains Fatma.

“We broke down the timeline into these periods; beginning with oil export in 1950, the segment called the Seeds of a Nation (1950–1971). The Modern State (1971-1995), the next segment, from the independence of the country in 1971 to 1995 when HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani became the Emir which paved way for many more developments in the architectural fabric. And the World (1995–2010), 2010 being the year when we won the World Cup host and lastly, Destination Qatar which is from 2010 to 2030 which is the year till which the Qatar National Vision is planned for.”

The school building prototypes, which still serves as an example for all school buildings in Doha, the first desalination plant, the first public art monument, the Clock Tower, which reminds the society of the essence of time, the first architecture competition to design the  Rumelia Hospital won by Architect John Harris who went on to design many hospitals in Dubai and Bahrain, the first airport building, the Doha Stadium, the first grass football stadium in the Gulf, were all upgrades in the fabric of society and all of this started appearing as seeds in the desert for a modern state and society. All of these examples are collected and displayed in the segment named as the Seeds of the Nation.

One of the most historic buildings of this period was the Doha Sheraton Hotel designed by William Pereira, the first high-rise buildings in the country, built on reclaimed land. All photographic images capturing the construction stages of this triangle-shaped iconic-building was displayed in this segment.

The period of 1970s was when the first planning office was established in Qatar and the office of Llewelyn-Davies were commissioned to produce the first development plan in 1972 which was to last two decades till 1992 and was abandoned in two years as the population explosion in the country was much above than what was anticipated.

Stories such as these are gems that rise from this exhibition and Fatma is one tireless narrator with the mind of a historian who throws dates and names effortlessly as she has encapsulated most of the details in her mind and has an insight into every single content within the exhibition.

Another story that Fatma narrates is equally intriguing. “After my graduation, I was looking to intern at any of the QM projects and was invited within the old site office of QM which was then a site office near the Qatar Post Office. I went inside and saw this huge model of a building designed by Arata Isozaki, which was a design for the Qatar National Library but for a different site on the Corniche. They found that conceptually this building wasn’t feasible and abandoned the project after work had started.”

So, when years later, Fatma was commissioned to research for this exhibition, and while curating for it, she was reminded of this model and started her hunt for it. No one was sure where it was and finally Fatma asked permission to enter the old abandoned site shed of QM and entering it, she found the model in the exact position as she had seen it in, years ago. A jewel of architectural history waiting to be picked by the right person.

Projects designed and abandoned, an architectural model of the Museum in Lusail, which is to be built, a contemporary art and design quarter within the new Art Mill area on the old port, which was selected through a competition, of which all the entries were displayed in the last portion of the display. An architectural model of an affordable housing development which elevates construction workers’ living conditions by limiting the number of workers in a room and by bringing all their recreational spaces under this roof, is also displayed within the And the World section.

The model of the initial Qatar National Library designed by Arata Isozaki which was planned on the Corniche.

Fatma says that Rem Koolhaas had a deep interest in the country due to the decade long association during the construction of Qatar National Library and the Qatar Foundation Head Quarters.

“Rem and Samir Bantal were completely hands-on with everything we did here. They used to join in on our research meetings’, advising and discussing ways of the display, content segregation, the structure of content,” she says.

Rem had also studied the growth and architectural landscape and has an assessment of the progress the country has seen.

He says that typically in any country, the learning curve eventually flattens out but here in Qatar, the curve keeps climbing steeper, by relentlessly placing tremendous challenges before itself, the major airport, The Asian Games, the World Cup, the educational institutions, the Qatar Museum projects. Qatar puts itself in a situation where the curve constantly becomes steeper, he reflected.

He says, “It is ironic that the average critic has not captured the emergence of Qatar’s unique conditions. Still referring routinely to the country’s nothingness of its beginning, they have not deciphered the values that are manifest here.”

And as Qatar moves on to achieving its next milestone, of hosting the World Cup, this exhibition gives an overarching view of the legacy of the pioneering projects.

As this exhibition makes it rounds around the world, it will finally give an insight to the world that a country in the Middle East has architectural dreams that match its progress and an intent to deliver on its dreams.

Understanding design as a process, OMA has shaped how we understand architecture and design around the world.

Drawing on the firm’s more recent portfolio of work, the following projects were built within the last five years. Showcasing critical and rigorous design concepts, they are made with a wide variety of programs at diverse scales. Sited around the world, the collection begins to illustrate OMA’s impact on architecture and urbanism with different materials, forms and spaces. Together, they also represent the practice’s conceptual approach to a wide array of typologies.

Taipei Performing Arts Center, Taipei, Taiwan

TPAC consists of three theaters, each of which can function autonomously. The theaters plug into a central cube, which consolidates the stages, backstages and support spaces into a single and efficient whole. This arrangement allows the stages to be modified or merged for unsuspected scenarios and uses. The design offers the advantages of specificity with the freedoms of the undefined.

Concrete at Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Located in Dubai’s Al Qouz industrial area, Alserkal Avenue was founded in 2007 with the aim of promoting cultural initiatives in the region. Since then, it has become Dubai’s most important art hub with twenty-five galleries and art spaces. Concrete, a new venue, addresses the districts growing need for a centrally located public space which can host a diverse program.

Pierre Lassonde Pavilion, Québec City, Canada

The Pierre Lassonde Pavilion—the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec’s fourth building is interconnected yet disparate—is an ambitious addition to the city. Rather than creating an iconic imposition, it forms new links between the park and the city, and brings coherence to the MNBAQ. In order to respond to context while clarifying the museum’s organization and a adding to its scale, new galleries were stacked in three volumes of decreasing size.

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow, Russia

A dramatic renovation of the 1960’s restaurant on site, the Garage Museum is a center for contemporary art in Moscow. The museum program includes galleries, a shop, café, roof terrace, auditorium and offices. A new translucent polycarbonate façade wraps the original structural framework and is lifted off the ground, allowing views between Gorky park and the exhibition space inside.

The Design Museum, London, United Kingdom

OMA with Allies and Morrison were the architects responsible for the design of the refurbished structural shell and external envelope of the building. The project required a close working relationship with Design Museum interior architects, John Pawson. Significant and complex refurbishment works were carried out, including the wholesale reconfiguration of the structure and basement excavation to increase floor area and organizational efficiency to suit the needs of the Design Museum.

Timmerhuis, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Timmerhuis was designed as a new municipal building for the city hall that combines residential and administration space. Formed as modular units that work within an innovative structural system, the building was designed to be the most sustainable building in the Netherlands. OMA accomplished this through the building’s core concept of flexibility, and also through the two large atriums that act like lungs.

Il Fondaco Dei Tedeschi, Venice, Italy

First constructed in 1228, and located at the foot of the Rialto Bridge across from the fish market, the Fondaco dei Tedeschi is one of Venice’s largest and most recognizable buildings. OMA’s restoration of the building was commissioned by the Benetton family in 2009 to transform the 9,000-square-meter structure into a department store, now under a leasing agreement with Hong Kong-based DFS.

New Museum for Western Australia, Perth, Australia

Located in the heart of Perth’s cultural precinct, the Hassell + OMA design was conceived as a ‘collection of stories’, offering a multidimensional framework to engage with Western Australia. A holistic building, comprised of heritage and new structures, the New Museum for Western Australia will be a place where the local community and global visitors gather.

Lujiazui Harbour City Exhibition Centre, Shanghai, China

The Lujiazui Harbour City Exhibiton Centre is located on the northern and most recent development of Shanghai Pudong, along the Huangpu River, one of the most photographed waterfronts in the world. The new Exhibition Centre is positioned on the ramp of a former ship cradle and provides a concentrated event space within the surrounding financial district.

Galleria, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, South Korea

The store in Gwanggyo—a new town just south of Seoul—is the sixth branch of Galleria. Located at the center of this young urban development surrounded by tall residential towers, the Galleria’s stone-like appearance makes it a natural point of gravity for public life in Gwanggyo. The store has a textured mosaic stone façade that evokes nature of the neighboring park.

From Unknowns to Unknowns, February 2020

In April 2019, my husband and I moved to Abu Dhabi and lived there for exactly 11 months. We moved back to Ajman (where I’m from) March 2020.

Our little apartment on Reem Island was our sanctuary. It was the first place we called home together, the first place that was entirely our own. There was something so calming about being a stranger in a new…

Square Series #011 Apartment Project in Tokyo

6 Oct 2021

Design: Ryuichi Sasaki/Sasaki Architecture

Location: Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan

Square Series #011 Apartment Project

What were the key challenges? Some of the main key challenges of the Square Series #011 project were to create spatial sensations within the rooms, while limited to a small property.

This has been achieved by applying sliding doors as dividers of apartment rooms, resulting in widening the living room area and giving it a wider and spatial feeling. Similarly, in the smaller studios, a similar yet very different approach was taken. Instead of the sliding doors, the wall that separates the closet and the main room does not reach the ceiling — by being a self-supporting wall it gives a sensation of more space within the given size of the studio, which is less than 20m².

Key products used: One of the key products that have been used is reinforced concrete, the skeleton of the structure, holding it up and adorning the interior and exterior of the building with indenture openings design across its facade. In addition, some of the glass windows are framed by materials such as bronze-coloured stainless steel and cedar board forms — which assist in maintaining the square framework intended design, while also giving it an overall abstract composition.

How is the project unique? One of the unique features of this project is its overall balanced composition, connecting the rooms within the residential area by incorporation of a three-storey high enclosed atrium space between them as a divider of space. The uniqueness of it comes from the conceptual idea of the residents being aware and close to each other, while also maintaining their privacy, by the use of square-shaped opaque windows on the atrium’s walls facing each other.
