From Eliinbar’s Sketch book 2011 SANAA & Aldo Van Eyeck

From time to time I display an example of a familiar building ground-plan, which inspires architects.
In this post I present Aldo van Eyck’s “Wheels of Heaven” Church, [project],from 1966, and SANAA’s “Glass Pavilion”, Museum of Art in Toledo.
SANAA is one of the Innovative architecture firms working today.
Aldo van Eyck (1918 – 1999) was one of the most influential protagonists of the Structuralism movement and later in his career called for a return to humanism within architectural design.

The two ground plans have similar patterns.
They are composed of two main components, the “main spaces” (who are characterized by their round morphology)
and the “Spaces in between” (see my Sketches).

In Aldo van Eyck’s Church, the “Spaces in between” are used for “movement”
SANAA’s in the” Glass Pavilion” gave an innovative interpretation to Aldo van Eyck’s Church ground plan.
The circular morphology of the “main spaces” is similar, if that unlike Aldo van Eyck’s Church the partitions are transparent, but the “movement” in the building is from one main space to another.
The “Spaces in between” are used as”Separator spaces”.

SANAA’s “Glass Pavilion” is in my opinion a Good example of “Conscious Inspiration“.
