MASTERPLAN OF MALLORCA , BY :

RICHARD ROGERS Parc Balearic Information Technology (ParcBIT) is an initiative by the Balearic Government, as part of

the ExpoCities Project under the European Union Thermie Programme, to generate a new approach to

living and working environments. Drivers of the scheme are the provision of leading edge

telecommunications links, a modern, sustainable and efficient infrastructure, and a high quality built

environment.

After winning an international competition in 1994, the practice was commissioned to plan a mixed use

live/work community for some 5,000 inhabitants on a site that lies 12 km north of Palma. Located on

agricultural land next to Mallorca’s university campus, ParcBIT, is bounded to the east and west by

development but by open country to the north. An existing Finca (farm house) which is preserved in the

new plan is sited on the prow of the ridge in the centre of the site, between two torrent valleys which

take water run-off from the mountains to the sea.

Responding to the client’s manifesto, the proposal is highly sustainable, implementing systems that

balance the cycle of supply and demand within the community. The scheme can also be ‘read’ as a

physical manifestation of the age of telematics - ParcBit recognises that work location is no longer

defined by historic centres of occupation but will increasingly be determined by key issues such as the

quality of life and the environment. The scheme is deferential to the existing terrain, recognising that

landscape is the collective memory of a culture. The new development complements rather than

compromises the landscape and its local ecology - the existing topography has played a significant role

in the definition of built form and circulation patterns, with buildings located on the terraces which wrap

around the Finca and the ridge, following the contours of the land. In addition the scheme gives clear

priority to a pedestrian environment, with parking contained at the perimeter of the site.

ParcBIT reduces water use while providing a landscape which benefits both people and local ecology -

tertiary treated water is used for irrigation. The masterplan’s energy system ensures a high level of

comfort in buildings while minimising environmental impact and carbon dioxide emissions. It does this

through a high-efficiency central CHCP plant which incorporates an innovative approach to the

integration of renewable solar energy.

BRITISH LIBRARY , BY: COLIN ST JOHN

WILSON

Sir Colin Alexander St John ("Sandy")

Wilson, FRIBA, RA, (14 March 1922 –

14 May 2007) was a British architect,

lecturer and author. He spent over 30

years progressing the project to build a

new British Library in London,

originally planned to be built in

Bloomsbury and now completed near

Kings Cross.

BRITISH LIBRARY , BY: COLIN ST JOHN

WILSON

The British Library is the national library of the United

Kingdom.[2] The library is a major research library, holding

over 150 million items from many countries, in many

languages[3] and in many formats, both print and digital:

books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound

and music recordings, videos, play-scripts, patents,

databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings. The Library's

collections include around 14 million books,[4] along with

substantial holdings of manuscripts and historical items

dating back as far as 2000 BC. British Library is one of the two

largest libraries in the world, the other being The Library of

Congress.

The new library was designed specially for the purpose by the

architect Colin St John Wilson.[6] Facing Euston Road is a

large piazza that includes pieces of public art, such as large

sculptures by Eduardo Paolozzi (a bronze statue based on

William Blake's study of Isaac Newton) and Antony Gormley. It

is the largest public building constructed in the United

Kingdom in the 20th century.[
