[건축]Police Station of Manzanares by Estudio Lamazeta

스페인에 있는 흥미로운 경찰서 건물을 소개합니다. 원래 경찰서를 위한 설계가 아닌, 박물관이 지어질 계획이었지만 거의 설계가 끝났을 때, 갑작스러운 변경으로 현재 경찰서로 바뀐 에피소드가 있네요. 이미지가 딱딱한 건물이지만 최대한 자연광을 활용하고 오픈 스페이스를 둘려고 한 부분이 눈에 들어오네요. 우리나라에도 이렇게 흥미로운 경찰서가 지어지었으면 좋겠네요.

설계해설 전문

Located on the site of an old winery, the new Police Station of Manzanares is the result of an Architectural Competition initially announced for the construction of a Museum. When the construction was 80% completed, the Government decided to adapt the building to the current use.

Surrounded by a nondescript environment like sport buildings, lime walls and open spaces, the building is closed to the outside with a set of abstract and strong volumes. The different volumes are separated from each other by elongated courts that let glimpse into the central space of the building.

The entrance is through a covered court that brings light and warmth to the central space, which is both waiting room and reception. From this central space you can access to various offices, as well as to the different elongated courts. Two rooms seem like little blue boxes installed as isolated objects within the rooms that were originally designed to exhibition rooms. They are trying to show the change of use occurred during the construction of the building.

To achieve an appropriate natural lighting have been built large skylights, due to the use that originally would have had the building. However, to ensure the ventilation of the offices have been opened lighting and ventilation windows in the different elongated courts, not in the facade, so the outside rotund image remains as the original.

For the outside finishes of the building we have used a white ceramic tiling that combines pieces of different sizes and proportions. The patchwork designed disappear gradually in different parts of the facade where the texture and color used are slightly different.
