    The name of the Phaeno conceals an experimental world under the heading of science and technology. The avant-garde architectural design of thebuilding by London architect Zaha Hadid moves away from conventional categories and is cast like a sculpture in the urban setting.Use of FOAMGLAS cellular glass as interior wall insulation is not to be considered as mere experiment it is the recipe for success in high stan-dard thermal insulation.

    Learning by doing - this slogan by Robert Baden-Powell, the

    founder of the scout movement was ori-

    ginally characterising the social-educatio-

    nal principles of the group and has inter-

    nationally become a familiar quotation. It

    has meanwhile become a valuable con-

    cept in the scientific and research world,

    where immediate results are claimed.

    Technological know-how and the ability to

    invent and do something can best be trai-

    ned, when apparently difficult physical

    and technical principles can be discovered

    hands-on. This concept of learning is

    the current approach of new Science

    Centres that are opened all over the world

    with growing success.

    The first Science Centre, Exploratorium, ini-

    tiated by Frank Oppenheimer as a hands-on

    museum of science, art and human per-

    ception, was opened in 1969 in San

    Francisco. The desire to discover new

    things and the fascination with the real phe-

    nomenon is intended to open up for people

    of all ages a new type of experience that is

    clearly distinct from the classical museum.

    Visitors are invited to touch the exhibits,

    to make their own experiments and learn

    about them. It goes without saying that

    school classes like to have their Physics

    lessons in Science Centres where they

    can investigate and practically experiment

    on the phenomenon.

    The Phaeno building in Wolfsburg inter-

    preted as a turbulent landscape is a fine

    attraction that offers its visitors an adven-

    tureland with 250 experimental stations.

    T

    he diverse world of shapes of the

    Phaeno pushes the boundaries of

    what is possible today. As the largest

    building in Europe to have been construc-

    ted in Self-Compacting Concrete. The

    impressive structure of the building towers

    high above the street. Various conical struc-

    tures resembling truncated cones raise the

    experimental hall above the public space at

    ground level. The building is developed as a

    spatial continuum that produces the effect

    of a drifting, almost imperceptible transition

    from outside to inside. Inside, the cones

    become craters; there is no threshold, no

    clearly defined boundary. Visitors arriving by

    train and stepping outside the rather pro-vincial station are overwhelmed by the arti-

    stic topography of the building that seams

    to hover over a cushion of air.

    The winning entry of the

    2000 competition for

    the new Science Centre in

    Wolfsburg, Germany, was

    the spectacular urban lands-

    cape architecture of London

    architect Zaha Hadid.

    For the planning and execu-

    tion of the Phaeno, Zaha

    Hadid founded a team with

    the architects Mayer-Bhrle

    from Lrrach (D) and within

    4 years the building was

    constructed.

    The German office had

    already proved itself as a

    most competent partner for

    unusual projects and their

    tenacity to find the best

    technical solutions. Already

    in 1999, the regional garden

    exhibition pavilion in Weil

    am Rhein made up for their

    reputation.

    10 conical structures support and penetrate into the building. They raise the experimental

    hall at a level 7.5 m and open the area below it as a new urban space.

    It was a real challenge to meet the require-

    ments of thermal insulation for this shape

    of building and the specific use by choosing

    adequate construction materials.

    The character of a building is largely influ-

    enced not only by the choice and size of the

    site, the specified function and ground-floor

    plan, but also by the outward appearance,

    i.e. the faade. It makes the first impres-

    sion. The design of a building may show a

    most conventional look a uniform or

    inconspicuous form or be a clear manifest

    of extravagance and head for an excitinglynew solution that makes curious to discov-

    er its insides. In the case of the Phaeno

    Science Centre, its attractive exterior form

    and materials appeal to have a closer look

    at the relations between space and paths in

    the building and put the essentially banal

    question When am I actually inside the

    Phaeno?

    The external world of forms invites to dis-

    cover the mysterious landscape inside. Like

    a casting and its mould, an exceptionally

    close linking between outside and inside is

    created by means of inversion. Inside the

    building shapes into a covered artificial land-

    scape, divided into sequences of roomsunpredictable by visitors.

    Science, technology and the correspon-

    ding experimental stations have found an

    Public building passage - a town within a town

    with access at ground level

    The concrete cones create analmost cave-like atmosphere

    for the passer-by at groundlevel. Spectacularly sloping

    walls and directed viewsshape way through the

    turbulent hilly landscape. Thebuilding is very easy to

    access with several mostequal entrances from differ-

    ent directions. The transitionfrom outside to inside is

    most imperceptible. Physicalopenness and the opportuni-

    ties for communication set aclear signal. The public build-ing passage is display win-dow of the Phaeno Science

    Centre with the differentcones housing a shop, cafsand restaurants, the science

    theatre, the ideas forum,a kiosk etc.

    This emerging urban worldwith an original landscape is

    to be used for the mostdiverse of events, a melting-

    pot for commercial, educa-tional and cultural activities.

    adequate architectural representation, which

    is constructed movement, constructed

    inquisitiveness. Of course, the construction

    materials emphasise this particular architec-

    tural design.

    Experiment as an integral component is

    taken up in the light engineering, the win-

    dow shapes, the non-transparent walls and

    the sculptural, plastic shaping from one

    piece which moves away from convention-

    al categories of posts, lintels and ceilings.

    The faade is a mix of geometrical and flow-

    ing elements; a fascinating effect of driftingis produced by rows of windows cast in Self-

    Compacting Concrete and metal walls, cre-

    ating an interesting, dynamic pattern.

    For the interior surfaces, on the bound-

    aries with the outer climate and with

    lower temperature locals, it is necessary to

    eliminate physical interactions in the build-

    ing, in view of an overall high standard

    specified for the room temperature.

    With the quantity of exposed concrete walls

    and the required thermal insulation level,

    this mission represented a real challenge,

    further to the additional requirements listed

    below:

    Excellent ecological profile of theinsulation material.

    Incombustibility of the insulant.

    Highly resistant, without ageing

    in the long-term.

    High compressive strength.

    Easy to work and fitting to all shapes.

    Airtight.

    Water- and vapour-proof;

    no additional vapour-barrier required.

    Constant thermal insulation, no conden-

    sation within the build-up or wall section.

    Surface suited for plasterwork.

    Steady temperature level and comfor-

    table interior climate under all weather-

    conditions, for diverse use requirements

    and a variable number of visitors inside

    the Science Centre.

    During the summer 2000 approx.

    9 months before turning the first sod

    different solutions for insulating relevant

    construction elements at the interior were

    discussed with the architects and engi-

    neers. FOAMGLAS cellular glass insula-

    tion, type T4-040, was identified to meet

    the most stringent requirements of this

    building. Imperative, workmanship and

    execution of details required a great deal

    of supervision and planning to optimise

    the high product quality in application. This

    becomes clear with a look at the photos

    and plans (see page 10).

    The shaping of the walls, with diverse

    conical radius, was quite a difficult task for

    the thermal insulation contractors. For cer-

    tain sections the FOAMGLAS slabs had

    to be cut into strips similar to the narrowpanels of the concretes wooden shutter-

    ing - to follow the curved walls sloping at

    different angles.

    Details

    Particular attention had to be paid to the

    fixings of the sub-construction which had

    to bear faade elements in some parts of

    the building. FOAMGLAS insulation had

    to be fitted around the fasteners in a way

    to avoid all risks from condensation andthermal bridges. The adaptation of the insu-

    lation slabs to these elements required a

    great deal of precision and exceptional craft

    skills from the contracting firms.

    Connection joints which had to be made

    impermeable to vapour and resistant to

    movement stress were sealed with

    Pittseal 444 N, a special mastic that is

    fully vapour-proof and suited for the tem-

    perature range from 50 C to + 80 C.

    The joints between vapour-proof FOAM-

    GLAS insulation and adjoining concrete

    elements were bridged with self-adhesive

    vapour seal tape.

    In this way, the walls mass could be

    increased to reduce the sound transmission

    from one space to another; the sound insu-

    lation value was improved by remarkable 5

    to 10 dB. This is appreciable because 10 dB

    means doubling of the sound insulation,

    usually reached without any additional

    measures. As described before, the proven

    Had to be taken into consideration the different thermal

    dilatation of materials, for instance between FOAMGLAS

    cellular glass, the bonding substrate (warming up of the

    faade when exposed to the sun) and the adjoining con-

    struction elements. Similar thermal dilatation values of the

    materials are indicator for their compatibility.

    Certainly of advantage is, that FOAMGLAS insulation is

    dimensionally stable due to its cellular glass structure (it

    will not swell or sag even when exposed to moisture) and

    moreover, material tensions are avoided because its spe-

    cific dilatation/contraction behaviour is in line with that of

    steel and reinforced concrete (see figure, page 8:THERMAL

    DILATATION OF MATERIALS).

    Due to the great diversity of curved

    walls sloping at different angles, the

    contractors for the insulation had to work

    with particular skill on the application of

    FOAMGLAS slabs; in particular as FOAM-

    GLAS insulation is incompressible, non-

    flexible and deformation-free. The worker

    had to be skilful, but nevertheless, with

    common tools all levelling and fitting oper-

    ations could be done without difficulties to

    make the insulation double the most spec-

    tacularly sloping walls.

    By use of a scraper, pipe and cable con-

    duits could be accommodated in the

    FOAMGLAS insulation layer without cre-

    ating thermal bridges or generating con-

    densation problems.

    A perfectly smooth insulation layer is

    obtained by levelling out any unevenness

    by abrasion.

    Screwed connections to suspend light

    weights could directly be screwed into the

    cellular glass insulation, without risks of

    thermal bridges or condensation. Fixing

    through the insulation was thus reduced

    to a strict minimum.

    Certified safety

    In order to control that state-of-the art workmanship would produce uncom-

    promised thermal insulation performance on the inside of the structural walls

    and offer best protection against condensation, the built-in thermal insulation

    was checked at different spots. Upon request of the client, this control had

    been made by Materialprfanstalt Braunschweig (MPA, material testing insti-

    tute in Braunschweig). The results of the tests confirmed the excellent work-

    manship regarding the insulation works and specified quality standards could

    be certified.

    The long path from the first consultance until completion of the project was a

    great challenge for all participants. The history confirmed, however, that the

    requirements regarding highly performing interior insulation did find a solution.

    With regards to the expected service life, a durable technical solution for inte-

    rior insulation was found using FOAMGLAS cellular glass, a material that is

    cost-effective and offers large design liberties for the architect.

    The main benefits are:

    Constant thermal insulation value.

    Vapour-proof cellular glass structure that prevents physical

    interactions in buildings.

    No need for additional vapour-barriers or airtight sheets on the

    warm side of the insulation, which regularly show imperfections.

    Full insulation performance, even under variable temperature

    and moisture conditions on the room side.

    No thermal bridges because of uninterrupted, fully bonded insulation

    layer.

    12

    The FOAMGLAS insulation layer is the perfect, incompressible substrate

    for the plasterwork. It protects the structure of the building without

    need for fragile additional vapour-barriers, because closed cell cellular

    glass material assumes the functions of vapour control layer

    and thermal insulation in one.

    A retrospective look

    In the middle of February 2006 about3 months after the opening of the PhaenoScience Centre in Wolfsburg the archi-

    tect Peter Maximilian Bhrle from the

    architect partnership Zaha Hadid Ltd. &

    Mayer Bhrle met with Jrg Zimmer-

    mann, contractor of the insulation works

    for a summary of the works done.

    Having chosen with FOAMGLAS sys-

    tems a safe solution to meet all buildingphysics and design requirements of inte-

    rior insulation, it was of crucial importance

    for the architects that the insulation sup-

    plier Deutsche FOAMGLAS GmbH could

    offer excellent consultance services over

    a long planning and execution period.

    First pre-planning discussions started

    halfway through the year 2000, in the

    offices of Mayer-Bhrle architects in

    Lrrach, Germany. More intensive consul-

    tancies followed with the progress of the

    construction. As Mr Zimmermann resumed

    in his look back, the job-site assistance by

    the FOAMGLAS supplier was excellent

    and guaranteed that the most complicated

    details on insulation and connection works

    could be handled correctly; many of the

    technical details having had their first edi-

    tion in this demanding project.

    For all building professionals it was inter-

    esting to discover that deformation-free

    and high compressive strength FOAMGLAS

    insulation could visually perfect be adapt-

    ed to the surfaces of the curved walls

    sloping at different angles, be it convex or

    concave shapes.

    The architect Peter Bhrle commented

    that this building owes its uniqueness and

    livelihood to the avant-garde architectural

    design and an approach to construction

    that is to be classified as pioneering work.

    After all, a project that makes technical

    history, with new design and thinking, in

    terms of technical as well as spatial or

    functional form.

    It does not surprise that the Phaeno

    Science Centre in Wolfsburg was officially

    presented to the public twice, as an excit-

    ing masterpiece of architecture: the day of

    its inauguration and on the occasion of the

    Open Doors Day of Architecture, on 25th of

    June 2006. Incredible, a first run!
