Gebudeerweiterungen mit KupferDas Tema dieser Ausgabe von Copper Forum zeigt beispielhate Um-

setzungen von Gebudeerweiterungen wo Kuper und Kuperlegierun-

gen eine wesentliche Rolle in der Architektur spielen. Es kann als eine

typologische our de Horizon angesehen werden, die die zunehmen-

den Ansprche im Materialgebrauch und neue Wege in der Realisie-

rung umreit.

Die Ansprche an Kuper in der modernen Architektur haben sich

deutlich verndert ein rend, der sich neben der Verwendung von

Kuper an Bauten, bei denen Kuper eine historische Bedeutung hat,

auch in Zukunt weiter ortsetzen wird. Aber hug bringt ein neuer

Ansatz in der A nwendung rischen Wind, wie beispielhat in der In-

nenanwendung in der zweiten Hlte dieser Ausgabe gezeigt wird. Der

verbindende Stern eines Atriums verdeutlicht die Mglichkeiten des

Materials r innovative und neue zeitgenssische Formen.

Die architektonischen Mglichkeiten mit Kuper werden noch deut-

licher durch ein weiteres Projekt: die Gestaltung eines Clubhauses r

einen Yachtclub au dem Gerat Barr ier Ree. Moderne Computer ech-niken ermglichten ein wegweisendes Design an exponiertem Ort. Im

Kontrast hierzu die schnrkellose Umsetzung einer Rettungsboot-

Station an der strmischen englischen Kste: orm ollows unction!.

Auergewhnliche Wetterbedingungen und hohe Ansprche an die

Nachhaltigkeit sind r Kuper kein Problem. In skulpturhater Qua-

litt werden mit Bronze und Glas r lange, lange Zeit zwei historische

Runensteine geschtzt (Seite 28-29).

Copper Architecture Forum 2012

Copper Forum 33, November 2012

Copper Forum ist ein Teil der European Copper in Architecture Campaign.Es erscheint zweimal jhrlich mit einer Druckaufage von 25.000 Exemplaren.

Die Zeitschrit wendet sich an Architekten und Fachleuten in ganz Europaund der Welt und ist in verschiedenen Sprachausgaben vergbar, wie zumBeispiel au Englisch, Tschechisch, Dnisch, Finnisch, Franzsisch, Deutsch,Ungarisch, Italienisch, Norwegisch, Polnisch, Russisch und Schwedisch.

LEITARTIkEL

Klar denierte Ansprche und Formen charakterisieren auch das Marlo-

we Teater (Seite 16-19), was man auch von der entlichen Bibliothek

in Seinjoki sagen kann (Seite 32-35). Inhaltlich eine schne Ergnzung

zu dem Zentrum Alvar Aalto, wo mit Respekt zum architektonischen

Zusammenhang eine Abgrenzung auch ber den Werksto Kuper vor-

genommen wird. Eine weitere Bibliothek die Deptord Lounge (Seite24-27) wurde in ein neues, oenes Gemeinschatsgebude umgebaut, das

sich durch seine semitransparente, goldene Fassade aus einer Kuperlegie-

rung hervorhebt.

Die Vielalt in der Anwendung entspricht den verschiedenen Oberfchen

die heute in Kuper vergbar sind wie sie zum Beispiel bei dem mehr-

geschossigen Parkhaus au Seite 20-23 eingesetzt worden sind. Genauso

wie das kleine aber eine temporre Gebude (Seite 10-11) einer Bau-

art, die normalerweise nicht ot mit Kuper assoziiert wird. Dem Einsatz

von Kuper wurde auch hier sehr viel Aumerksamkeit gewidmet, die der

auerordentlichen Qualitt des Projektes zugutekommt. Eine kommuna-

le Gebudeerweiterung die mehr ist als ein Gebude (Seite 30-31) zeigt

beispielhat, dass Kuper eine besondere Qualitt von Gebuden und zuanderen Materialien herstellen kann.

Kuper in der Architektur ist stetig in der Entwicklung, die durch Ar-

chitekten und Architekturinteressierte vorangetrieben wird. Au der In-

ternetseite www.copperconcept.org knnen Sie sich die besten Beispiele

Das Clarion Hotel in Trondheim ist eines der grten Hotels in Skan-

dinavien und das Grte in Norwegen. Die Architekten der Space

Group gestalteten die verschiedenen Hotelfgel, um die bestmg-liche Aussicht r Besucher au das Meer, die Landschat sowie die

Stadt zu erreichen.

Die Torsionskrat der Flgel ermglicht, das zentrale Atrium als

einen dreidimensionalen Raum mit einem komplexen, acettenrmi-

gen Dach zu ormen - ein dekonstruktuistischer goldener Stern, an

der Unterseite in Wellen ausgeormt. Das Gebude wirkt aus jedem

Blickwinkel sehr lebendig, insbesondere aus der Lut; ein Anblick,

den die Besucher schon bei Ihrer Anreise per Flugzeug genieen

knnen.

Ein Hotel in Norwegen hat sich die Umsetzung eines

ausdrucksstarken neuen Atriums zum Ziel gesetzt,

erklrt Chris Hodson.

Die auseinanderstrebenden Hotellgel werden

in einem goldenen Stern wieder zusammengehrt

Exakte MaterialittDas Design zeigt die exemplarische An-

wendung verschiedener Materialien und

Stilelemente. Der massive Eingangsbe-

reiches steht in starkem Kontrast zu den

voll verglasten Hotelzimmern, die mit

weiem Siebdruck versehen sind, um

die Fenster quasi zu entmaterialisieren

und einen weichen, wolkenhnlichen E-

ekt zu erzielen.

Die auseinanderstrebenden Hotel-

fgel werden in einem goldenen Stern

wieder zusammengehrt, der aus einer

Legierung von Kuper mit Aluminium

und Zink gebildet wurde.

Der Projektarchitekt Jens Niehues

kommentierte: In der Kuperlegierung

haben wir ein Material geunden, wel-

ches uns die Mglichkeit gab, eine le-

bendige Oberfche herzustellen, die

die inhrente Funktion des Sternes re-

fektiert und ihm die reiche und goldene

Farbe verleiht. Neben der Realisierung

unserer konzeptionellen Vorstellungen

galt es natrlich auch die technische

Herausorderung der Beherrschung des

anspruchsvollen Klimas an der West-

kste Norwegens zu bewltigen.

Mit der Zeit entwickelt die Kuperle-

gierung keine blaue oder grne Patina,

nicht einmal in dem rauen Klima Norwe-

gens, denn sie behlt die goldene Farbe.

Die Charaktereigenschaten des Materi-

als erlauben eine vertikale, horizontale

und eine diagonal angelegte Struktur,

die die dreieckige Form des Star noch-

mals hervorhebt.

Auerdem kann das Material zu einer

scharen Kantung gearbeitet werden

und ermglicht damit auch eine kla-

re Linie in der Dachentwsserung. Die

Wahl der goldenen Kuperlegierung an

diesem Gebude hat sich denitiv aus-

bezahlt gemacht.

Der Hamilton Island Yacht Club und die dazugehrigen

Villen wurden au den Whitesunday Islands gebaut, die

ein Teil des dazugehrigen Great Barrier Rees sind.

Der gestalterisch berzeugende Entwur kann nicht nur von

der Insel oder vom Meer aus bewundert werden, sondern auch

aus der Lut einer der bevorzugten Anreisemglichkeiten

der Besucher. Die Architekten haben ein Gebude konzipiert,

welches sich bis zu den Wellenbrechern erstreckt und sich

typologisch au die reie Formen von Schien, Yachten undSegeln bezieht. Der Designprozess hrte zu skulpturalen, in

Kuper gekleideten Formen, die windgellte Segel, bauchige

Spinnaker, schlanke Kiele und die wirbelnden Kr te der Win-

de, Gezeiten und Strme aunehmen.

Der zentrale Kern des Yachtklubs ist eine weit herausgezogene

Veranda oder Piazza, welche zu den verschiedenen Privat- und

Funktionsrume hrt. Mit einer schrittweisen Vernderung

des Niveaus von Decke und entsprechender Rampe ergibt sich

aus dem Gebude heraus eine ausdrucksstarke ausladende

Plattorm ber dem Wasser. Das Klubhaus selber enthlt viele

Freizeitmglichkeiten wie zum Beispiel Restaurants, Bars, ein

Auditorium, Konerenzrume, ein Fitnessstudio, Pools, sowie

verschiedene Lesezimmer und Ausstellungsrumen. Die ge-

samte Anlage wird ergnzt durch 35 reistehende Chalets.

Kupfer in komplexen FormenDie komplexe Dachlandschat des Yachtclubs in der Form ei-

nes Bltenblattes wird von sthlernen Baum-Sulen gesttzt.

Mit ihren Zweigen sttzen das das gewlbte Dach in einer

Vielzahl von Winkeln. Aufiegend wurde ein schlanker Stahl-

Gitterrost entwickelt, der von 11 bis 16 Meter spannt und die

seitlichen Lasten au die Hauptwnde bertrgt. Die schlan-

ke Struktur zwischen Dachbekleidung und Decke war eine

der zentralen Anorderungen der gestaltenden Architektenan die komplex geormte Dachlandschat. Kuper wurde au-

grund seiner Bestndigkeit auch in exponierten klimatischen

Bedingungen sowie augrund seiner natrlichen optischen Ei-

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

BIM untersttze wirkungsvoll den Design- und den Bauprozess

des Hamilton Island Yacht Club und hier insbesondere der

Kuperdachlandschat. Augrund der Vielseitigkeit der Formen

und der zahlreiche Sektoren wurden detaillierte Zeichnungen

bentigt, um zu veranschaulichen wie die einzelnen Bestand-

teile zusammen passen. Die Entwursdaten wurden digital mit

allen an Konstruktion und Realisation Beteiligten ausgetauscht

um beispielsweise die Konstruktion der Stahlkonstruktion des

Daches zu beschleunigen und zu vereinachen.

Die Vergbarkeit der kompletten digitalen Gesamt- und De-

tailplanung des Gebudes in dreidimensionaler Form hatteerheblichen Einfuss au die Formgestaltung des Gebudes, da

das gesamte Team den Prozess der Formgebung jederzeit zeit-

gleich nachvollziehen konnte. Aber BIM geht ber CAD und die

dreidimensionale Modellierung weit hinaus, denn Materialien

Kosten, Umweltgesichtspunkte und das Facility Management

fiet r alle Beteiligten zeitgleich in den Gestaltungs-, Konst-

ruktions- und Realisierungsprozess mit ein.

BIM untersttzt den Architekten nachhaltige und exakte Ent-

wre zu realisieren.

Es ist zu erwarten, dass der Einsatz von BIM zukntig bei der

Gestaltung und Konstruktion vieler Gebudetypen zunehmenwird. BIM kann Architekten neue Tren, zu neuen Ausdrucks-

ormen nen- und Kuper ist ideal um die innovativen

Gestaltungen zu realisieren.

Ein Pavillon fr dieGoldene PrachtIn exponierter Lage auf dem zentralen Domplatz macht

ein mit goldfarbenem Metallkleid ausgestatteter Pavil-

lon durch seine berzeugende Gestaltung und Funktio-

nalitt auf ein besonderes Ereignis aufmerksam.

Der temporre Pavillon setzt einen modernen Kontrapunkt

in das historische Stadtzentrum und dient als Bindeglied

zwischen den Ausstellungsorten Museum und Domkam-

mer. Der Pavillon r die Goldene Pracht ist das Ergebnis einer

Gemeinschatsarbeit der msa (Mnster School o Architecture)

und des Bros modulorbeat. Unter der Leitung der Architekten

Marc Gnnewig und Jan Kampsho entwickelte ein Team von an-

angs 33 Studenten verschiedene Kurzentwre r das zu planen-

de Objekt.

Goldene LsungEine Juryentscheidung wurde schlielich zugunsten der goldenen

Lsung getroen: Ein sternrmiger, in der Ausicht an ein stili-

siertes Kreuz erinnernder Baukrper mit aurechten Vertikalen,

der auen mit Ausnahme der Stirnseiten vollfchig mit der gold-

arbenen Kuperlegierung bekleidet ist. Ein temporrer Pavillon als

Kommunikationselement r ein Kunst-Ereignis ist in Mnster kei-

ne ganz unbekannte Einrichtung. Bereits vor n Jahren realisier te

das Bro modulorbeat ein typologisch verwandtes Bauwerk r die

skulptur projekte 2007, ebenalls in der goldenen Kuperlegierung.

Gerade augrund seiner klaren Funktionalitt und Formsprache

wird der Pavillon als zentraler Ort einer lebendigen Werkstatt rdie museumspdagogische Kunstvermittlung in den hier ausstel-

lungsbegleitend stattndenden Workshops mehr als gerecht.

Beim Blick durch die verglasten Stirnfchen in den Innenbe-

reich wird die Fortsetzung der geradlinigen, einachen Gestaltung

als vollkommen selbstverstndlich und konsequent wahrgenom-

men. Die tragende Konstruktion aus Vollholz bzw. Brettsperrholz

liegt vllig rei; Boden, Decken und Wnde prsentieren sich dem-

zuolge einheitlich in hellen Holzoberfchen ebenso wie die acht

Werktische, die nach eigenen Entwren von Marc Gnnewig von

den Projektteilnehmern in Eigenarbeit montiert wurden.

The new structure sits on the ootprint

o the original building: well-positioned

or lieboat launching in bad weather

but also reducing the environmental

impact o the scheme. At rst sight,

the wave prole o The Lizard lieboat

station appears symbolic o its coastal

position - but orm really does ollow

unction and refects the arrangement

o internal accommodation, ocused on

the lieboat itsel. Essentially, the ves-

sel is mounted on a tipping cradle, which

tilts to align with the slipway, enabling it

to be launched and recovered allowing

volunteer crews to reach those in trou-

ble as quickly as possible. The outward

raking wall to the side o the building

refects the demand or accommodation

at the main foor level with ast access

straight onto the lieboat.

by Chris Hodson

The new RNLI lieboat station at The Lizard is protected by a curved copper skinto withstand the extremely aggressive coastal environment o its unique locationon Englands most southerly point. The RNLI charity saves lives at sea. Its volun-teers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service around the United Kingdom andRepublic o Ireland coasts. The buildings design was developed rom a previousproject, also by PBWC Architects, in Padstow, Cornwall. It is a direct response tothe specic technical demands o the new RNLI ast slipway type lieboat housedthere and is an exemplar or uture buildings o the type in other locations.

Weather-tight DesignAll accommodation is located on one

side o the building, which allows the

heated and serviced zones to be e-

ciently grouped together and all ventila-

tion and lighting needs to be met with a

strip o ribbon glazing or punched win-

dows within the raked wall. The curve

o the roo then encloses the minimum

volume required or the lieboat and cre-

ates a simple orm that lends itsel to

a single fexible roo nish. The design

aims to maximise roo area while mini-

mising penetrations to ensure a robust,

weather-tight nish.

Copper ChoiceThe selection o metal roong was a logical

progression rom the development o the dis-

tinctive, wave-like, curved orm. PBWC project

architect Cian Spowart commented: Ater the

Padstow project, we reviewed the roong ma-

terial and system or The Lizard lieboat sta-tion. Here, copper was selected or its durabili-

ty and capability o withstanding the aggressive

coastal environment, including the possibility

o debris being thrown up rom the sea. In ad-

dition, the aesthetic choice o copper over other

metal roong was driven by its characteristic

weathering over time to give a rich green patina

complementing the aqua blue hues o the local

coastline.

Challenging ConstructionUnsurprisingly, the buildings site at the

bottom o a tight, steep slope presented

special challenges with construction. The

building is predominately timber rame

with glulam-curved members providing the

iconic shape. Dry construction and preab-rication techniques are maximised or ast,

sae assembly and ecient deliveries to

eration o Roong Contractors. The long-

strip, copper trays were craned down onto

the building and installed by hand, display-

ing a particularly high standard o crats-manship under challenging conditions.

The Marlowe is, in ormal terms, a complex

pavilion. It sets up a dynamic relationship

with its viewers, giving dierent architec-tural and urban emphasis depending rom

where in the city it is viewed. At street

level, its architecture is ordered by an

8m high colonnaded loggia in white cast

Dolomite stone, which orms a portal to

the multi-level glazed oyer and sets up a

civic elevation to the Friars, an important

historic street within the city. The oyer

connects all the major internal spaces to

the riverside terraces and pathways and is

seen as a crystal ribbon by day transorm-

ing into a blade o light by night. New viewso the rootops o the historic city and its

cathedral open up rom the main stairs

and upper levels.

The colonnaded loggia mediates be-

tween the street scale o the Friars (the

street which the Marlowe aces) and the

necessarily larger orms o the two thea-

tres and the fy tower. The colonnaded

Standing on the banks o the River Stour and close to Canterbury Cathedrals

UNESCO World Heritage Site, the new Marlowe Theatre makes a bold

statement on the Canterbury skyline. Architect Keith Williams discusses his

practices competition-winning design and its use o materials.

Copper plays a distinct role in the composition of the theatre overall

overhang also provides shelter to the

south-acing oyer rom high angle solar

gain and provides an architectural unity tothe composition. A new public square has

been created by setting the Marlowe back

rom the existing street edge.

The fy tower o the old theatre, widely

regarded as an eyesore, was the second

tallest structure in the city ater Bell

Harry, the medieval Cathedrals principal

tower. The new Marlowes fy tower is 9m

taller than its predecessor, allowing it to

be sculpted to create a pinnacle orm ac-

ing toward the Cathedral, adding accent

and silhouette to the citys skyline. Its

orm can be seen as a prominent symbol

o secular architecture within the historic

city whilst ensuring that Bell Harry re-

tains its predominance. From the east, the

fy tower dominates the street scene an-

nouncing this major new cultural project

within the city.

Materiality and ContextualityThe composition and massing o the new

Marlowe is rooted in its context. The build-ing is seen to step up in scale gradually

rom a lower-rise street scale along the

Friars, up to the larger volumes o the

main auditorium and fy tower beyond.

Materiality is also determined to a large

degree contextually, in that it borrows

the hues and tones o the Canterbury

townscape. The reconstituted stone col-

onnade takes its cue rom the whites and

creams o buildings in the city, whilst the

pre-oxidised brown copper cladding ech-

oes the colour and hues o the nearby tiledrootops. Materials are used to create

something highly contemporary, whilst at

the same time complimentary to the con-

text in terms o texture and colour.

Copper plays a distinct role in the compo-

sition o the theatre overall, surrounding

the volume o the studio space, which me-diates between the entrance scale and the

larger volumes beyond. The studio theatre

is raised 4 metres above the ground; a vol-

ume wrapped entirely in copper. As such it

is almost at roo level o the surrounding

buildings hence the relationship between

the reddish brown copper cladding with

the colouration o Canterburys rooscape.

The underside o this volume orms the

internal sot to the restaurant space cre-

ated beneath. The raising o the volume

allows the restaurant to be slid beneathat oyer level, giving views to an adjacent

external terrace and the banks o the River

Stour.

COPPER In dEtaIl


Copper Studio

Horizontal standing seam bands o varying

widths (using trays o 230 mm, 430 mm

and 600 mm) wrap continuously around thestudio volume, with olded birds mouth

corner details enabling the horizontality

to fow continuously around all sides. At

the junction with the main glazed curtain

walling, the copper runs cleanly through

rom outside to inside, with internal

openings ormed to create a connection

between the studio theatre bar areas and

ANIMATING

THE UTILITARIAN

Forming part o the Hub development at Nottingham RailwayStation, this 6-storey structure accommodates 950 car spaces.

The 112 m long building is sandwiched between the railway to

the north and the busy Queens Road to the south with older

buildings beyond. Architects Leeds Studio developed an original

design by another practice, BDP, (ollowing a successul bid by

VINCI Construction UK) adding an array o horizontally banded

vertical copper panels to transorm this typical parking building.

The panels create an architectural language and are continuous

over curtain walling as well as conventional open car parking

decks, only being broken by the concrete lit core on the West

Elevation.

The palette o copper suraces at Nottingham includes solid

green pre-patinated copper and a variant with less intense

patination, revealing some background material. Standard mill

nish and light brown pre-oxidised copper were also used, to-

gether with an alloy o copper and aluminium with a long-lasting

golden colour which provides distinctive highlights around the

building.

Although creating a random, abstract eel, arrangement o the

panels is based on a limited modular language with three panel

widths: 210 mm, 420 mm and 840 mm, and spacing between o:

105 mm, 210 mm and 420 mm. Panels are generally 2870 mm

high with some reduced to 1470 mm crowning the top o thebuilding and where the base o the cladding is raised up.

A Mosaic of ColourThe composition gives a mosaic o colour that sits in clearly de-

ned horizontal bands along the length o the building, breaking

up the subservient concrete rame - typical o multi-storey car

park buildings - and curtain walling. The eect is particularly

animated on the two long elevations, especially when viewed

rom moving trains or cars. In addition to the layering o ma-

terials, the colour choices are carried through in the design torepresent diering aspects o the location.

Project architect Antony Hall explained: The copper panels

to the North are predominantly in green shades and reer to the

modern aspect o the adjacent railway. The panels on the South

are predominantly in traditional brown copper shades to reer-

ence the brick heritage warehouses and other structures lining

the conservation area opposite across the busy road. Key view-

points ormed in locations around the building are highlighted

with the golden coloured copper alloy. Vertical circulation ele-

ments are also highlighted in the same manner. There is a de-

signed progression o copper colours running around the whole

building, beginning and ending at the West Elevation lit shat.We have also anticipated the natural changes to copper in the

environment.

Multi-storey car park architecture is generally constrained by

vehicle circulation and other technical demands, reducing it to

a utilitarian level. But the numerous permutations of surfaces

and forms available with architectural copper today offer de-

signers exciting possibilities to treat bare facades as a blank

canvas. The Nottingham project is an inspiring example of this

approach.

Resolutio

The brie rom the London Borough o Lewisham was to create the centrepiece

o their regeneration o Deptord Town Centre a new civic ocus or Deptord.

This was to include a state-o-the-art public library, including a resource centre

and council services centre called the Deptord Lounge with a new building

or Tidemill Primary School, relocated rom its existing site.

Our scheme, completed in December 2011, created rom the bare bones o this

brie, a highly innovative mix o co-located uses on a single site: the completed

complex houses acilities shared between the new primary school and the whole

community via the Deptord Lounge. To this mix we also added apartments over

artists studios and exhibition space Resolution Studios.

The design was also driven by the aspiration to restore to Deptord something

o the grandeur o its past, rst as a hub o shipbuilding and later as the location

o the rst railway station south o the River Thames. Now the golden Lounge

building sails galleon-like above Gin Square, a new public space or Deptord.

Tidemill Academy lies within an urban oasis, sheltered on one side by the Dept-

ord Lounge and on the other by Resolution studios, with classrooms grouped

around a green and leay central play space. And new homes look out over the

historic St Pauls Church and the railway line leading over the r iver.

School and Community Use

Shared acilities o Deptord Lounge include a rootop sports

pitch, a fexible suite o assembly spaces and a dining hall and

kitchen, which are available or hire. All these acilities are lo-

cated on the upper foors o the Lounge building and all elements

have separate access points both rom within the school and

rom the public realm. This enables the school to have sole use

o the shared acilities during the school day. Then, out o school

hours, the shared acilities orm an integral part o the Deptord

Lounge and are open to the whole community.

INTERVIEW

CH:How did your selection o the golden cop-

per alloy come about and did you look at othermaterials?

HK-B: We wanted a material that related

strongly to the conceptual meaning o the

Deptord Lounge on a series o levels. It was

to be seen as a landmark a civic ocus or

all ages and cultures. Initially timber cladding

was considered, relating to Deptords nautical

past but timber requires maintenance. We

also sought an inspiring material, with reec-

tive properties that would give the building a

jewel-like quality set against its main street

context. Tis meant considering various met-

als including copper. It also led to the idea oexpanded metal meshes or perorated sheets.

We elt that the perorated golden copper al-

loy cladding oered multiple meanings on a

conceptual level. Te gold surace symbolises

wealth across all cultures, welcoming and

bringing together a diverse community into

a building that oers a wealth o knowledge

and services.

CH: What about sustainability and environ-

mental considerations when choosing the aade

material?

HK-B: Copper and its alloys have sound sus-

tainable credentials with exceptional durabili-

ty and liespan. Te weathering characteristics

o this copper alloy are important: the mate-

rial is virtually maintenance ree and provides

a surace that will change very little over time,

which means it wi ll retain its crisp jewel like

quality.

CH: What were the design intentions behind this

dramatic statement o a transparent golden skin?HK-B: Te wrapping o the gold cladding

aims to uniy the buildings complex range o

unctions, binding them together.

Contextually, it relates to various points o

Deptords rich history, including its growth

rom a small shing village into the Royal Na-

val Dockyard with links to HMS Discovery,

Sir Francis Drake and Captain James Cook.

So, the wrapping has multiple unctions and

reerences. From a distance the golden orm

appears solid but close-up reveals itsel as

transparent and light-weight, oating above

its glazed base. On a unctional level, thewrapping provides solar shading to the large

areas o glazing, while also allowing suitable

levels o light in.

CH: How were these intentions realised on the

building with the pierced copper alloy panels and

how did the detailed design develop?

HK-B: Te panels are rigid olded cassettes

that provide sharp and clean joints between

panels, rather than something that would

buckle and distort. Te nautical reerences

continue with the setting-out o the panelsin a stretcher bond pattern like historic tim-

ber hull construction in ship-building. Te

perorations are kept back rom the edges to

help express each panel individually while

retaining rigidity. We explored various pero-

ration shapes, rom square to raised diamond

patterned with a cheese grater appearance,

and settled on simple circular holes, again ar-

ranged in a stretcher bond pattern. Dierentlevels o peroration were also considered, as

the transparency o the wrapping adds anoth-

er dimension with the play o light. Te build-

ing responds to its uses and environment,

continually changing with light conditions

throughout the day and into the evening, be-

coming more or less revealing suggesting

discovery. Te level o transparency increases

with distance away rom the solid ships bow

corner, with its large symbolic window, gradu-

ally blurring solid and void.

CH:How was the light, foating eel o the piercedcopper alloy skin achieved in structural terms?

HK-B: Initially, the cladding was to be sus-

pended on rods rom a ring beam. But due to

the buildings subtle shits o orm both in

the vertical and horizontal planes additional

support was required, depending on location

around the building. Te solution was to x

steel brackets back to the main building struc-

ture at the top and bottom o the wall. Tese

then support a rame and suspension rods, to

which the copper al loy panels were xed. Ad-

ditional structure and stays were incorporated

where the golden wrapping pulled urther

away rom the building, reducing movement

rom wind loading. Te transparency o the

panels also oered urther opportunities to

express the structure behind with honesty.

Te Jelling runic stones mark Denmarks transition to Christi-

anity in the year 965 and the monument is also known as Den-

marks birth certicate. Inaugurated in December 2011, the

project is based on the winning competition design by NOBEL

arkitekter. Our principal aims were to protect the runic stones

or the uture and, at the same time, provide an architectural

composition allowing spectators to get very close to them.

Sheltering Bronze Hands

Deceptively simple bronze and glass structures provide a safe

environment for preserving two unique 10th century runic

stones designated a UNESCO World Heritage site - at Jell-

ing Church, Denmark. But these interventions go well beyond

conservation, seeking to transform the visitor experience, as

architect Erik Nobel explains.

Te design orms a stylised dialogue between the two stones,

which represent the rst two kings o Denmark Gorm and

Harald Bluetooth. Te bronze angles orm one gable and the

roo or each structure, while the other aces are ully glazed. Our

objective was to accentuate the runic stones curved orms by

contrasting them with the straight lines o the coverings which,

in a metaphorical sense, hold protective hands over them. Te

cast bronze contrasts with the texture o the ancient stones and

highlights their grey and reddish granite suraces.

Te requirement or creating a controlled climate around the

stones was a centra l consideration in the development o the pro-

ject. Our consulting engineers rom Rambll designed a special

heating and ventilation system which ensures a rost-ree climate

around the runic stones. Articial lighting has been discreetly

added using specially designed bre-optic light sources, which

are integrated in the roo structure.

Te lighting emphasises the stones runic scriptures and visual

motis, and accentuates their shapes. Juxtaposed with the angu-

lar bronze orms, the articial lighting creates a completely new

way o viewing the rune stones, enhancing the experience o one

o Denmarks most valuable monuments.

We were appointed to careully restore elements o the ex isting

architecture creating a contemporary yet sensitive addition to

the rear. o the ront o the property the new addition appears as

a simple copper box peeping above the layers o existing green

glazed tiles o the existing home.

In the reurbishment, living and entertaining space is provided

at ground oor through the introduction o a predominantly sin-

gle storey glazed element. At rst oor, a layered copper and oak

orm appears to delicately hover. Set on a shited geometry to

acknowledge the existing building orm, this creates a series o

overhangs, cantilevers and canopies to shelter its occupants rom

the persistent Welsh rain.

Copper over timeTis thoroughly modern addition to an existing home in

Cardif, South Wales discussed by Kristian Hyde o Hyde

+ Hyde Architects combines copper with oak and glass in

its careully conceived design to anticipate change.

Te original house is quirky but beautiul. Te unknown ar-

chitect has put a great deal o eort into the detailing, some

o which is very playul. Tere is a certain humour about some

o the spaces that continue to make our clients smile. Te new

addition responds with a singular oak clad curve at rst oor

which mimics the geometry o the existing curved glazing o

the main house. Tis is introduced to turn the new addition

into the main private garden at the rear.

Copper was chosen as a suitable material or acades and other

details to converse with the existing green glazed roo tiles o

the existing dwelling. Ater a decade it will begin to relate in

colour and tone to the existing tiles nearby, its salmon pink and

russet brown tones will be gone orever. Tats the beauty o

copper, its timeless and orces us to think about buildings in

time. Coppers material character helps buildings eel as i they

have always been there.

Famous

Neighbours

The Centre displays Aaltos masterul touch, ranging

rom the areas town planning to the smallest door

detail and is an invaluable cultural asset which gives

the whole town its identity. Five Aalto buildings make

up the Centre: the City Hall, State Oce Building,

Theatre, the Cross o the Plains Church and the Old

Library.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN OLD AND NEW

Built in 1965, the Librar y needed a modern extension

to meet todays demands and JKMMs design, called

Clover, won the competition or the project. The aim

was to create dialogue between old and new. The new

library respects the protected cultural environment

but, at the same time, takes pride in contemporary

architecture. One o the objectives o the design was

to nd an interace with the typical characteristics oAlvar Aaltos architecture without imitating it.

The Finnish town o Seinjoki hosts the mos

extensive cluster o buildings designed by Alva

Aalto in the world. Asmo Jaaksi o architectsJKMM explains his practices approach to design

ing a new addition to this hallowed Aalto Centre.

VARIED INTERESTING SHAPES

The new library stands separate rom Altos

original, although connected by an under-

ground link. Division o the building into

three sculptural units was an important de-

cision to be able to blend the large buildingvolume with the surrounding townscape.

This generates varied, interesting shapes

when viewed rom dierent directions. The

exposed boarded-ormwork concrete in-

teriors are punctuated by careully placed

windows and larger glazing oering con-

trolled views o the Centre. The view rom

the glazed wall in the main library hall is

dominated by the highlights o the area: the

bell tower or the Cross o the Plains Church

and the an-shaped acade o the original

Aalto Library. The heart o the building isthe wide staircase, intended or dierent

events and as an inormal meeting place,

which leads to the collection departments

on the ground foor and through the con-

necting underground corridor to the Aalto

Library.

LIVELY AND VIVID SURFACE

The external skin o the new library is

dominated by copper. The darkening pre-

oxidised copper sets the new library apartrom the whiteness o the surrounding

buildings. Copper is not a new material to

the area but in the Aalto Centre it is mainly

the roos that eature the materials beauti-

ully patinated green suraces. In the new

library, copper has been used comprehen-

sively across acades, plinth and roos

creating a single-material skin.

A special shape o copper shingle was spe-

cically designed or the acades to give the

building a highly individual, lively and vivid

surace. In some situations, the shingle

surace is ormed into ventilation slots to

accommodate air handling. Copper is also

used to orm vertical grilles and as a door

acing to maintain the material continuity.

All Saints Academy is a church schoolor the community in Cheltenham,UK. It provides secondary education or

900 pupils and 250 sixth-orm students.

Te buildings striking orm curves around

an impressive external plaza with an ele-

gant canopy and three-storey high glazed

atrium at its centre. Te design developed

around the concept o a hand, the atrium

acting as a uni ying device rom which key

internal and external areas are accessed.Curved open galleries within lead to three

radiating learning wings providing most o

the classroom accommodation.

A Visible BeaconTe entrance atrium orms the heart o the

building and the public ace o the Acad-

emy. Above the reception area rises the

distinctive conical orm o the copper-clad

chapel. It acts as a visible beacon reecting

the Christian ethos o the Academy. Te

building is clad with a limited palette o

materials. Te ground oor is brickwork

to provide a human scale to the Academy

as well as being durable. Upper levels are

clad with an insulated render system. Te

copper shingles to the chapel and the con-

dent use o colour oer a lively counter-

point to the rened acades.

Sculpting o the chapel brings light pour-

ing into the space rom above. A single

slot window with a coloured glass design

provides a ocus within the contemplative

space. At roo level, the cone is truncated

and a large opening ormed in the vertical

ace, inlled with glazing. A separate, low-

er copper clad orm completes the compo-

sition and encloses mechanical plant ser-

vicing the chapel.

A chapel in the distinctive form of a copper-clad cone is at the heart of the glazed

atrium welcoming visitors to this new school. Russel Hayden of Nicholas Hare

COPPER ClOSE-UP

Covering the Cone with CopperA key element o the concept was or the

chapel to appear monolithic both with-

in the space and externally as it reached

through the atrium roo. Te original

proposal was or timber cladding, but the

design team recognised the difculty o

ensuring the internal and external elements

would weather consistently. Bright copper

was selected with a special, anti-weathering

coating to minimise any change as the sur-

ace aged.

Shingles were chosen to deal with the com-

plex orm that curves in both plan and

section. Te cladding o the chapel was

undertaken with real cratsmanship by

NDM, the copper shingles gradually re-

ducing in size to accommodate the conical

shape. Te orm was computer modelled,

as the size o each row o shingles had to

be calculated to suit the diminishing diam-

eter.
