    Diversifering av kopparI det hr numret presenterar vi en eklektisk samling nya byggnader drhuvudrollen i det arkitektoniska uttrycket spelas av koppar och desslegeringar. Det kan ses som en typologisk rundtur dr vi lyter ramdet diversierade bruket av koppar. Designer anvnder materialet i allt

    hgre utstrckning r alla typer av byggnader och p helt nya stt.

    Synen p koppar har rndrats i takt med dess kade betydelse inommodern arkitektur. Och det bara ortstter. Givetvis anvnds kopparortarande p de byggnader som vi historiskt brukar associera den med.Men numera ser vi ota nya grepp. Ett bra exempel r kapellet som viavslutar det hr numret med (s. 3638) en konisk cylinder som bryterram mitt i dess huserande skolbyggnad och r tankarna till kyrkligakupoler och spiror. Koppartak r ocks hjrtat i vrt rsta projekt, ettatrium i ett strre konerenshotell (s. 47), men i orm av en dekonstru-erad stjrna i guldrgad legering, vilket demonstrerar materialets mj-ligheter r innovativa moderna ormer hela vgen inirn och ut.

    Materialets ormbara egenskaper tas nnu lngre i de dramatiska kur-

    vorna p ett klubbhus vid havet (s. 89). De kunde skapas genom data-modellering, en teknik som erbjuder svindlande mjligheter av design-mssig rihet. Som kontrast till detta har vi tagit med en livbtsstationdr ormen ljer unktionen (s. 1215). Stationen har utormats runtartyget som den huserar och koppar har anvnds som skydd mot denkrva miljn en nu beprvad design som r redo att reproduceras pandra platser. Ytterligare ett exempel p miljskydd r en inhgnad ibrons och glas r tv antika runstenar (s. 2829) med enkla ormkva-liteter.

    ven Marlowe Teatre utmrks av skarpt denierade ormer (s. 1619),en typologi som traditionellt associeras med koppar. Detsamma kansgas om allmnna bibliotek. Men i Seinjoki (s. 3235) rtjnar till-byggnationen av A lvar Aalto-centret sin ikoniska kontext samtidigt som

    den, kldd i koppar, hller sig p distans. Ett annat bibliotek DeptordLounge (s. 2427) utvecklas till en byggnad r gemenskap som vl-komnar genom transparensen av dess gyllene asader.

    Kopparens typologiska mngald tas nnu lngre dr olika ormer av ma-terialet anvnds med en abstrakt e stetik och livar upp asaderna p en an-nars typisk bilparkering i fera plan (s. 2023). Och en modern byggnad(s. 1011) ytterligare en typ som vanligen inte associeras med koppar med srskild betydelse d den r helt tckt i guldrgad legering. Slut-ligen kommer vi till en ansprksls husutbyggnad (s. 3031) som pmin-ner om hur kopparen ocks kan tillra specika kvaliteter tillsammansmed andra material.

    Koppararkitekturen r under stndig utveckling tack vare arkitekterna

    och deras entusiasm ver mjligheterna med materialet. Och vi kommer,med din hjlp, ortstta att lyta ram de rmsta exemplen hr och pwww.copperconcept.org.

    Clarion Hotel i Trondheim r ett av Skandinaviens mest betydande

    nationen ppnas det centrala atriumet upp i en imponerande tredi-

    mensionell yta dr det komplexa, nedtsluttande taket tar ormen av

    Utvalda materialDesignen uppvisar en ytterst genom-

    tnkt materialanvndning r de olika

    elementen. Den massiva, strukturerade

    mrka ldan som rymmer den huvud-

    sakliga konerenshallen, str i skarp

    kontrast till de inglasade sovrumsblock-

    en vars vita silkesintryck lses upp i en

    larna av den dekonstruerade guldstjr-

    nan, ormad med en legering av koppar,aluminium och zink, bryter ram mellan

    alla block och hller dem samman.

    Arkitekten r projektet, Jens Niehues,

    kommenterar: Vi ann att kopparlege-

    ring var ett material som gav oss mj-

    lighet att utorma en vibrerande yta som

    refekterar de inneboende egenskaper i

    en stjrna men samtidigt har en yllig,

    gyllene rg. Utver vra konceptuella

    intentioner var det givetvis ndvndigt

    att materialet kunde tla det krvande

    klimatet p Norges vstkust.

    Kopparlegeringen kommer inte att ut-

    veckla ngon bl eller grn patina ens

    i det hr hrda klimatet, utan kommer

    att behlla samma guldton ver tid.

    Materialets egenskaper tillter verti-kala, horisontella och lutande skarvar

    vilket ramhver stjrnans triangulra

    orm. Dessutom gick det att arbeta ram

    skarpa kanter och tydliga detaljer vid

    takrnnorna. Valet av guldrgad kop-

    parlegering betalade sig verkligen i slut-

    resultatet.

    Klubbhuset r Hamilton Island Yacht Club and Villas

    p Whitsundayarna r en del av Stora Barrirrevet i

    Australien och utormades r att gra visuellt intryck

    inte bara rn land och hav utan ven ovanirn d mnga

    gster anlnder med fyg. Arkitekterna restllde sig en bygg-

    nad som skulle breda ut sig ver piren och lyta ram marina

    element, sjart och segling. Designprocessen mynnade ut i

    en skulptural samling av kopparkldda ormer som r tan-

    karna till vindyllda segel, spinnakrar, skepp och de virvlande

    kraterna av blst, tidvatten och strmmar.

    Yachtklubbens hjrta utgrs av en inbyggd veranda, eller pi-

    azza, som leder in till de olika privata och o entliga rummen.

    Innertakets gradvisa hjdskillnader och ramper leder till en

    dramatisk upphjd plattorm som skjuter ut ver vattnet.

    Klubbhuset rymmer fera olika inrttningar restauranger,

    barer, ett auditorium, konerenssviter, gym, simbassng, ls-

    rum och utstllningshall. Det integrerade byggnadskomplexeterbjuder ven 35 ristende villor.

    Komplexa kopparkldda ormerDe komplexa kronbladsormade taken brs upp av stlpelare i

    orm av trdstammar, med grenar som mter det bgormade

    taket i en rad olika vinklar. Ett byggnadsgaller i stl med en

    rckvidd p 16 meter och en konsol p 11 meter ck utveck-

    las r att verra belastningen rn sidorna till de centrala

    vggarna. Avstndet mellan takbekldnad och innertak kunde

    drmed minimeras, vilket arkitekturen krvde. Det renklade

    ven tillverkning och konstruktion av taket. Koppar valdes r

    dess tlighet och visuella egenskaper samt, naturligtvis, dessunika egenskaper som mjliggr bekldnad av komplexa tre-

    dimensionella ormer.

    BIM-teknik Building Inormation Modelling

    BIM-teknik visade sig vara avgrande r den detaljerade ut-

    ormningen och konstruktionsprocessen r Hamilton Club i

    synnerhet dess koppartak. Till ljd av ormernas komplexitet

    krvdes mnga sektioner och detaljerade ritningar r att visa

    hur komponenterna skulle passas ihop. Inormationen expor-

    terades till vriga involverade exempelvis till tillverkaren av

    byggnadsstl som arbetade direkt utirn den digitala modellen

    Tillgngen till en ullstndig digital modell av byggnaden p

    plats innebar ocks att konstruktionsteamet kunde visa tre-

    dimensionella ritningar under processens gng. De olika

    komponenterna kunde ven visas i genomskrning, vilket gjor-

    de det enklare r alla att rst exakt hur byggnaden skulle

    konstrueras. BIM gr mycket lngre n CAD och tredimensio-nell modellering, genom att komponenter och material ven

    visas med tillhrande attribut, till exempel kostnader, milj-

    egenskaper och underhllsintervall.

    BIM strvar eter att erbjuda en ullstndig digital modell r

    design, tillverkning, konstruktion och anvndning av byggna-

    der, dr alla intressenter r helt och hllet involverade. Det

    skulle hjlpa arkitekter att skapa mer hllbar och exakt design

    med rre el och mindre spill. Etersom det gr att simulera

    utrande i den verkliga vrlden r det ocks lttare att rst

    kostnader, schemalggning och miljpverkan.

    BIM rvntas vxa snabbt inom design av alla typer av byggna-der. Det ppnar drren r utorskande av nya uttrycksormer

    och koppar r idealiskt r att realisera innovativ design.

    en modern kontrast till den historiska stadskrnan

    och sammanr utstllningshallarna i museet med

    katedralens konstkammare. Paviljongen r ett resultat av

    samarbetet mellan Mnster School o Architecture och arki-

    tektrman Modulorbeat. Under ledning av arkitekterna Marc

    Gnnewig och Jan Kampsho, utvecklade ett team med ur-

    sprungligen 33 studenter olika designrslag.

    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.

    bottom o a tight, steep slope presented

    special challenges with construction. The

    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.

    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.

    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 o suraces

    and orms available with architectural copper today oer de-

    signers exciting possibilities to treat bare acades as a blank

    canvas. The Nottingham project is an inspiring example o this

    approach.

    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.

    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.

    Chris Hodson discusses the transparency and materiality o the Deptord Lounge acades

    with Hamish Kilord-Brown, Project Architect at Pollard Thomas Edwards architects.

    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

    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.

    In the reurbishment, living and entertaining space is provided

    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

    details to converse with the existing green glazed roo tiles o

    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

    Architects discusses the design concept and how it was realised.

    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.
