Ha-ha, naišla sam na članak o bordelu kojega posjetismo prošle zime! Ne mogu, a da ne zapišem još malo detalja o metodologiji projektiranja bordela.
Investitor je poznati (tako piše - ja ga ne poznam) belgijski businessman Franky De Coninck. Arhitekt je zvjezdana belgijska arhitektonska grupa Quinze & Milan. Arne Quinze je poznat po stručnoj pomoći na Brad Pittovoj losangeloskoj rezidenciji, a još poznatiji po autorstvu jednog od socijalnih kondenzora Seattle Public Librarija. OMA ima fetiš na ovakve, kaj je, je.
Prvo šira situacija. Bordel jest u neposrednoj blizini antwerpenske luke - jedne od najvećih i najprometnijih luka u Europi. Nekad se u čitavom gradu tolerirala prostitucija. Od prije nekoliko godina ograničena je na nekoliko ulica u ovoj četvrti - Schipperskwartier (mornarska četvrt :); tako da je bordel na svome mjestu. Franky je tamo svojedobno bio kupio staru tvornicu (tj. skladište sokova), skontao stvari i umjesto da investira u urbanu villu...investirao je u kurvarluk.
Onda uža situacija. U neposrednoj blizini bordela policijska stanica. Ginekološka ordinacija iza ugla. Dakle, sve potrebne institucije su u školskom radijusu (500 m). Kompletan kvart je pješačka zona! Lijepa planerska manira. Razlog za ograničavanje kretanja vozila je sprečavanje davanja usluga u automobilima i smanjivanje anonimnosti klijenata (to bi ih trebalo obeshrabriti).
Odabir arhitekta bio je više no pažljiv. Nije ga naboo "deder Mate naziđaj", prvi s reda. De Coninck se obratio Qunizeu nakon što je ovaj u interviewu jednog belgijskog časopisa sažalijevao dizajn prostora u kojima se prodaje ljubav. “Sex je najunosniji business, a njegovo pakovanje je uvijek tako ispodprosječno. Dizajn bi zasigurno mogao kreirati posebnu erotičnost doživaljaja, kad bi mu se posvetila pozornost.”
Parametri izgradljivosti (kis, kig) ovdje su maksimalno iskorišteni - to je interpolacija u blok. Rupa je od ruba do ruba izvana popunjena! Ipak.... "Proštemana" je po sredini jednim velikim javnim pasažem, tj. unutrašnjim dvorištem. Baš nježna granica privatno - javno, tj. komercijalno - javno. Ima ukupno 51 poslovni prostor. Neki su orjentirani na dvorište, a neki na ulicu. Poslovni prostor jest en suite jedinica! Brzo ću uploadirat jedan presjekić i tlocrtić - mjere nisu sto posto točne - sklepano je iz nekih fotki i po sjećanju kad smo bili u viziti!!!
Izveden je čitav niz specifičnih instalaterkih radova: svaka soba opremljena je panik - dugmetom, za slučaj da klijent postane nasilan, sefovi za keš na pojedničanoj jedinici, crvene i crne neon - lampe za iluminaciju tjelesa - daju gustu sjenu i puteni čar, sistem biometričkog prepoznavanja - u poslovnom prostoru može davati usluge samo onaj ko ga ima u zakupu, diskretna nagnuta zrcala na podovima, za inspekciju klijenata, prije no uđu!
Priča se da u Tintou nitko nije žrtva traffickinga i da su sve zaposlenice/i sa EU putovnicom.
Baš bi i ja naziđala jedan bordelić.
Ha-ha, I have come across an article about brothel that we visited last winter! I can not resist of writing down few more notes on how to design a brothel!
Client is well - known (that is what the journalist says - I have never heard of him) Belgium businessman Franky De Coninck. Architect is real international star architecture group Quinze & Milan. Arne Quinze is famous by his professional help on designing Brad Pitt LA residence and even more famous (at least for me) for sharing an authorship of one of social condensers in Seattle Public Library. OMA has a fetish on people of this kind.
First of all: makro-location. Brothel in close proximity of Antwerp port - one of the biggest and busiest in Europe. There have been times when prostitution was legal in all parts of city. It has been few years now that it is limited only to few streets in this quarter Schipperskwartier (sailors quarter :) so brothel is on proper place. Franky had bought a juice warehouse in that area and instead of investing in an urban villa or so he has invested into the sex industry.
Then micro-location. In immediate vicinity of the brothel there is a police station. Gynecological surgery is just around the corner. Well, all the necessary infrastructures are in a scholar urban planning radius (500 m). Whole quarter is a pedestrian zone! That is also nice urban planning manner. Reason for constraining veichle traffic is prevention of giving services in cars and lowering anonymity of customers (which is supposed to discourage them).
Choice of an architect was more than careful. It was not usual Balkan "Ho John, lay some bricks down", first in a row. De Coninck approached Quinze afther the latter one in an interview for a Belgium journal was expressing pity architecture design of spaces in which love is being sold. "Sex is one of the most profitable businesses and its package is always so under(average). Design could definitely create special eroticism, if some attention was given to it."
Urban planning parameters are exploited to maximum - this is an interpolation to the block. An ex-caver has been filled from bottom to top, from side to side. However, it has been broken somewhere in the middle with big semi-public alley or a type of inner courtyard. Very soft border private - public or commercial - public. There is total of 51 commercial units. Some of them are oriented on courtyard, some on the street. Commercial unit is en-suite!
There has been carried out whole set of specific installation or fittings: each room kas panic - button in case client becomes agressive, there are safety vaults for holiding cash, one for each unit; red and black neon lamps for body illumination giving dense shade and sensuous charm; system of biometric identification - in an unit, only its real holder, a tenant can give services; discrete bended mirrors on floors, for client inspection, before letting them in.
'Fama est' that in Tintou there are no victims of trafficking and all the employees are EU citizens.
I wish I had to design one brothel.
