Hans Hollein, Vulcania, St. Ours-les-Roches, Auvergne, France. 1994-2002

Situated within extinct volcanoes on an altitude of 1.000 m this complex serves to inform about, educate on and experience the primeval forces of nature and the creation of our planet. It is highly symbolically charged, with an aura of mystery, the descent into the earth—the sketches to forward the idea showed etchings by Gustave Doré of the descent to the center of the earth by Jules Verne and Dante’s “Inferno”. Mostly underground it is approached by a long ramp down towards a metaphorical Volcano—a cone cladded in dark volcanic stone lined inside with golden metal animated by light. Research and conference facilities, IMAX theaters, greenhouses showing the positive effects of volcanism—fertility—and a restaurant with a view complete the complex situated in a nature park. The site is also used for recreation and hiking in an almost uninhabitated landscape. This is a project without precedent addressing feelings and atavistic emotions as well as search for knowledge and answering this task with an architecture of reduction and absoluteness. https://www.hollein.com/eng/Architecture/Nations/France/Vulcania

Architectural Legacies: Lutyens, Hollein, and Colonial Symbolism

The portrait of Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens captivates not only his visage but also his architectural ingenuity, symbolized by the incorporation of a model showcasing the distinctive 'chattri' roof feature. Crafted in his New Delhi office, this bust stood proudly in Lutyens' London workspace, serving as a testament to his visionary designs. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens, an illustrious British architect, remains celebrated for his adept fusion of traditional styles with the demands of his era, particularly showcased in his monumental contributions to the creation of New Delhi, dubbed "Lutyens’ Delhi."

Renowned as perhaps the foremost British architect of his time, Lutyens left an indelible mark on the Indian landscape. Collaborating with Sir Herbert Baker, he shaped the architectural identity of New Delhi, crafting iconic structures like the India Gate and the majestic Viceroy’s House, now known as Rashtrapati Bhavan. His knighthood as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire in 1930 underscored his pivotal role in India’s architectural heritage.

Notably, a bust of Lutyens remains a singular Western tribute within the former Viceroy’s House in New Delhi, a poignant reminder of his enduring influence. Yet, while Lutyens’ architectural legacy is undeniably monumental, it's essential to acknowledge his views on the peoples of the Indian subcontinent, reflective of the biases prevailing in his era.

The narrative of Lutyens’ architectural prowess intersects intriguingly with the Vienna travel agency designed by Hollein, where clever architectural references to luminaries like John Nash and Otto Wagner coalesced. This artistic amalgamation, albeit fleeting due to demolition, offered an alternative lens through which to view British colonialism's architectural dimensions. Was the agency’s demise a deliberate erasure of symbolic messaging, prompting contemplation on the nuanced narratives of colonial architecture?

Indeed, Lutyens’ classicism, as evidenced by his iconic 'hat' from Delhi, resonated beyond geographical boundaries, leaving an indelible imprint on the architectural zeitgeist. The Vienna episode underscores the intricate interplay between architectural heritage, cultural symbolism, and geopolitical narratives, prompting reflection on the multifaceted legacies of colonialism.

“Sick Architecture” Exhibition, CIVA, Rue de l’Ermitage 55, 1050, Brussels, Belgium _ Conceived by Beatriz Colomina [guest curator, Princeton University], Silvia Franceschini [curator CIVA], Nikolaus Hirsch [artistic director CIVA] _ Assistant curator: Minne De Meyer Engelbeen [CIVA] _ Exhibition Architecture: OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen & Richard Venlet _ 06.05.2022 - 28.08.2022 _ Photos by: Spyros Kaprinis [18.06.2022].

“Architecture and sickness are tightly intertwined. Architectural discourse always weaves itself through theories of body and brain, constructing the architect as a kind of doctor and the client as patient. Architecture has been portrayed as both a form of prevention and cure for thousands of years. With Sick Architecture, CIVA and guest curator Beatriz Colomina (Princeton University) highlight a topic that has shaped our lives since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
