11234 Architectural Design: Integration

Hybrids #2

Program:

“An architectural hybrid manifests itself through a specific programmatic strategy based on the complexity and variety of interdependent programs, with the ability to create unscripted relationships and unplanned activities as a result of programmatic juxtapositions.

Space / time / density:

The notion of spatial and temporal density is fundamental. Architectural hybrids seek intensive and extensive use (24/7) and feed on dense environments with land use limitations.

Typology:

Each architectural hybrid is defined by a specific and most of the time unique programmatic mix, which makes it difficult to attempt to classify hybrid buildings by types. The notion of historical typologies does not apply.

Urban:

By mixing programs hybrids require size and height. They can be super-buildings, super-blocks, and mega-structures; hybrids connect architectural and urban scales /strategies as well as public spaces of a new kind.” Frank Minnaert
