2008-03-28 - CORDOBA will possess a new CONFERENCES CENTER designed by the study OMA




In 2002 OMA won the competition to design a new congress center located on the Miraflores Peninsula, facing the historic city center of Cordoba, Spain. Wishing to improve on the possibilities of the original building site, OMA proposed a new and unexpected location on the peninsula.

Linear CCCity
Taking full advantage of the potential site the project transforms the East-West strip across the Miraflores peninsula into a linear volume that acts as promenade, mall, and mixing chamber - a takeoff point for the Cordoba Experience. 
First, the site is thickened into a long block that marks the threshold of the Miraflores neighborhood and defines a southern edge for the planned fluvial park. A horizontal slice through the slab allows the necessary activities - congress center, auditorium, retail, hotel - to be contained along a continuous trajectory running the full length of the building. The transparency of this middle zone establishes the building as a linear viewing platform, looking out over the park, the river and the historic center beyond. Above and below ancillary functions are consolidated in the slabs that profile.

Functioning as a programmatic sandwich, the upper lower layers fold or converge to respond to different interior/exterior pressures along its length: separating to accommodate the conference hall and auditorium; converging to define the hotel lobby; lifting to allow Miraflores Park and the street to continue through to the specified site. To the south, the main volumes of conference center and auditorium project from the slab; a ramp between the two marks the formal entrance to the complex.

The 360-meter length of the building is conceived as a promenade, a coherent sequence of programs and views. Bridging the east and west banks of the river along its length, the project spans the new site to become a route, the crucial link is the trajectory that moves visitors in and out of the historic center. A series of ramps channel the public seamlessly through the building, absorbing all circulation into a sequence of visitor’s center, auditorium, conference hall, retail and hotel. A roof terrace accommodates additional leisure activities: mini golf, outdoor cinema, and lookout.

Taking its place within the urban fabric of the city, the siting of the CCC organizes the now disparate elements of Miraflores, river and historic center into a coherent urban grouping that extends the benefits of Cordoba’s tourist industry to the rest of the city.

El proyecto con que OMA, el estudio de Rem Koolhaas, ganó el concurso realizado en 2002 para El Palacio del Sur de Córdoba en la Península de Miraflores, frente al centro histórico de Córdoba, se construirá con un costo de ciento cincuenta y ocho millones de euros. El nuevo palacio, que se implantará en un terreno angosto orientado E-O, consiste en una viga flotante que actúa de amortiguador entre la península y el proyectado parque fluvial.
El Palacio del Sur de Córdoba, primer edificio de Koolhaas en España, será de cristal y buscará los espacios abiertos

El futuro Palacio del Sur o Centro de Congresos de Córdoba será el primer edificio que el arquitecto Rem Koolhaas construya en España y, según sus propias palabras, su diseño estará muy relacionado con el agua, ya que la fachada del edificio será de cristal.

El comienzo de las obras está previsto antes del verano, y en principio se estima que el presupuesto total supere los ochenta  millones de euros.

El edificio estará dividido en dos partes, entre el área específica de congresos, que estará ubicado junto a la autovía facilitando el acceso a las personas que vienen de afuera, y la zona más comercial y cercana al casco urbano, donde se emplazará un hotel con ciento setenta  habitaciones.

El futuro Palacio de Congresos, dispondrá además de tres auditorios:
-el mayor tendrá un aforo para mil quinientas personas,
-otro más pequeño con cabida para seiscientas personas y
-otro exterior para aproximadamente quinientas personas donde detrás del escenario se podrá disfrutar de una espectacular vista de la ciudad.

La propuesta, del arquitecto  es la de no competir con la Mezquita-Catedral, sino que sean complementarios y que el edificio viva del entorno.

Con respecto a la futura construcción del Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, que irá ubicado también en el Parque de Miraflores, junto al Palacio del Sur, Koolhaas manifestó que "será un espacio más que ayudará a aumentar la masa crítica y beneficios culturales y económicos a la ciudad".

Fuera de serie, conozco Córdoba y no me imagino como va a quedar con respecto al entorno. Me gustaría viajar nuevamente además para disfrutar esa arquitectura fabulosa que se erigió allí hace tantísimos años. La mezquita cordobesa es fabulosa!
