COMENTARIO EDITORIAL

La Diversifcacin del CobreEste nmero rene una mezcla eclctica de edifcios actuales don-de el cobre y sus aleaciones juegan un papel clave en la expresinarquitectnica. Se trata de un recorrido tipolgico, que revela unadiversifcacin creciente en el uso del material por parte de los ar-

quitectos en todo tipo de edifcios - y de nuevas ormas.

La percepcin del cobre ha cambiado en consonancia con su papelen la arquitectura moderna y contina hacindolo hoy en da. Aun-que el cobre se sigue utilizando en aquellos edifcios con los que sele relaciona histricamente, a menudo se adoptan nuevos enoques,como ocurre con la capilla que cierra este nmero (p 36-38) - untambor cnico que se eleva por encima del edifcio escolar que loacoge, haciendo reerencia a los chapiteles y cpulas eclesisticas.Las cubiertas de cobre tambin resultan esenciales en nuestro primerproyecto, un atrio de un importante hotel de conerencias (p 4-7),que demuestra, tanto en su interior como en su exterior, las posibi-lidades que orece este material para el diseo de ormas contempo-rneas innovadoras, mediante la deconstruccin de una estrella dealeacin dorada.

Su acilidad para adaptarse a dierentes ormas se lleva an ms le-jos con las impresionantes curvas de un club nutico rente al mar(p 8-9), lo cual es tambin posible gracias a las tcnicas de modela-do por ordenador, que permiten una gran libertad de diseo. Porel contrario, la orma se adapta a la uncin en un centro de salva-mento martimo (p 12-15), diseado alrededor de la embarcacinque alberga y protegido por el cobre contra un entorno muy duro

ahora, ya se trata de un diseo probado y listo para ser utilizado enotros lugares. Una vez ms, la proteccin medioambiental defne lascajas de bronce y cristal que encierran dos antiguas piedras rnicas(p 28-29), con una esttica sencilla.

Unas ormas claramente defnidas tambin caracterizan al TeatroMarlowe (p 16-19), una tipologa tradicionalmente asociada con elcobre. Lo mismo se puede decir de las bibliotecas pblicas , aunque enSeinjoki (p 32-35), una ampliacin del centro Alvar Aalto respeta sucontexto emblemtico, destacando por su piel de cobre. Otra biblio-teca - Lounge Deptord (p 24-27) - se convierte en un nuevo edifciocomunitario abierto al pblico, expresado mediante la transparenciade sus achadas de aleacin dorada.

La diversidad tipolgica del cobre se ampla an ms con un trata-miento abstracto que utiliza el material de dierentes ormas para darvida a las achadas de un aparcamiento de varias plantas (p 20-23).Un edifcio temporal (p 10-11) - otro tipo que no se a socia a menudocon el cobre - adquiere una importancia especial con su completorecubrimiento de aleacin dorada. Por ltimo, una ampliacin de unapequea casa (p 30-31), sirve para recordarnos algunas de las caracte-rsticas particulares del cobre.

La arquitectura con cobre contina desarrollndose, impulsada porlos arquitectos interesados por el material y sus posibilidades. Y convuestra ayuda, vamos a seguir mostrando los mejores ejemplos aqu yen www.copperconcept.org.

El Hotel Clarion en Trondheim es uno de los hoteles de convenciones

ms importantes de Escandinavia y el ms grande de Noruega. Sus

arquitectos, Space Group, adoptaron una estrategia de orientacinde los distintos bloques de habitaciones, de orma que los visitantes

puedan disrutar de las maravillosas vistas del mar, del paisaje y de

la ciudad. De esta manera se abre el atrio central para generar un

espacio completamente tridimensional con una compleja cubierta

acetada - una deconstruccin de una estrella dorada -, en orma de

cascada. El edicio orece una visin espectacular desde cualquier

ngulo, pero sobre todo desde arriba, desde donde la mayora de los

visitantes lo ven por primera vez al llegar en avin.

Un complejo hotelero en Noruega aspira a transormar la ex-

periencia de las conerencias mediante una nueva visin del

atrio moderno, como explica Chris Hodson en este artculo.

Una enorme estrella dorada se abre paso entre los bloques,sirviendo de nexo de unin entre ellos

Materialidad rigurosaEl diseo presenta una rigurosa apli-

cacin de la materialidad entre los di-

erentes elementos. La enorme caja de

textura oscura que alberga la sala de

conerencias principal, contrasta con

los bloques de dormitorios totalmente

acristalados con un serigraado blanco

que se desmaterializa para crear ven-

tanas con un eecto nube. Una enorme

estrella dorada, ormada a partir de unaaleacin de cobre con aluminio y zinc, se

abre paso entre los bloques, sirviendo

de nexo de unin entre ellos.

Segn el arquitecto del proyecto Jens

Niehues, la aleacin de cobre es un

material que nos ha permitido disear

con una supercie vibrante que refe-

ja la uncin inherente de la Estrella y

le aporta un intenso color dorado. Ade-

ms de hacer realidad nuestras ideas

conceptuales, el material tambin tuvo

que hacer rente a los retos tcnicos del

exigente clima de la costa oeste de No-

ruega.

Esta aleacin de cobre no desarrolla

una ptina de color azul o verde con el

paso del tiempo incluso con un climatan severo como este, sino que mantie-

ne su color dorado. Las caractersticas

del material permiten utilizar juntas

verticales, horizontales o inclinadas que

destacan la orma triangular de la Es-

trella. Denitivamente la eleccin de la

aleacin de cobre dorado result impor-

tante en la construccin nal.

Creando emocionesEn el interior, las emociones se crean a medida

que la orma del hotel expresada externamente

se disuelve para proporcionar espacios pblicos

abiertos. El espacio vertical central se conci-

be como una transormacin de la tipologa del

atrio de hotel desde un espacio unidimensional

hacia uno dinmico y tridimensional. En este

caso, la escala y la atmsera se mueven entre

lo ntimo y lo espectacular, al igual que ocurre

con las vistas panormicas externas y las or-mas cristalinas internas que hacen reerencia a

las espectaculares ormaciones y tmpanos de

hielo. Y por encima de todo esto, se encuentran

las largas bandas de aleacin dorada de cobre

de la estrella.

El Complejo Residencial y Club Nutico Hamilton Island

situado en las Islas Whitsunday, que orman parte de la

Gran Barrera de Coral australiana, ue diseado para

crear un gran impacto visual, no slo visto desde la isla y el

mar sino tambin visto desde el aire, que es la manera en la

que llegan muchos de los visitantes. Los arquitectos lo con-

cibieron como un edicio que se situara en el espign y quehiciera reerencia a los elementos marinos y a la tradicin

nutica. El proceso de diseo llev a un ensamblaje escultri-

co de ormas revestidas de cobre que evoca quillas de barco y

velas desplegadas al viento, y las turbulentas uerzas de vien-

tos, mareas y corrientes marinas.

El ncleo central del club nutico es un porche cubierto

que conduce a las dierentes salas privadas y pblicas. Con un

cambio gradual en los niveles del techo y una rampa procesio-

nal, el edicio lleva a una espectacular plataorma en voladizo

sobre el agua. El club tiene dierentes instalaciones como

restaurantes, bares, un auditorio, salas de conerencias, gim-

nasio, piscina, sala de lectura y sala de exposiciones. En elproyecto tambin se incluyen 35 chalets uniamiliares.

Formas Complejas con Revestimiento de Cobre

Las complejas cubiertas del club nutico en orma de ptalos

se apoyan sobre columnas arbreas de acero con sus ra-

mas extendindose hasta tocar la cubierta curvada en varios

ngulos. Se desarroll una estructura de acero que pudiese

extenderse hasta los 16m, con un voladizo de 11m, transrien-

do las cargas laterales a las paredes centrales. Esto minimiza

la proundidad estructural entre el revestimiento de la cu-

bierta y los techos, tal y como exiga la propia arquitectura.

Tambin se simplica la abricacin y la construccin de lacubierta. El cobre se eligi por su durabilidad, as como por

sus caractersticas visuales y, por supuesto, por su capacidad

nica para revestir complejas ormas tridimensionales.

Modelado de Inormacin para la Edicacin (BIM)

BIM ue vital para el proceso de diseo y construccin del club,

especialmente para sus cubiertas de cobre. Debido a la com-plejidad de las ormas, se necesitaron numerosas secciones

y dibujos detallados para mostrar cmo encajaban los com-

ponentes. Los datos se enviaron a otros agentes involucrados

en el proyecto; por ejemplo, al abricante de acero estructural

que trabaj directamente con el modelo digital.

La disponibilidad de un modelo digital completo de la

construccin in situ tambin permiti que el equipo de cons-

truccin pudiera ver dibujos tridimensionales junto al edicio

segn iba tomando orma. Tambin estaban disponibles vistas

en corte de los dierentes componentes, lo que ayud a todos

a comprender exactamente el proceso de construccin del

edicio. Pero BIM va ms all del CAD y el modelado tridimen-sional, con componentes y materiales que tienen atributos

tales como el coste, las credenciales medioambientales y los

intervalos de mantenimiento.

BIM pretende proporcionar un modelo digital completo para

el diseo, la abricacin, la construccin y el uso de edicios,

con todas las partes interesadas plenamente involucradas.

Ayuda a los arquitectos a crear diseos ms sostenibles,

precisos y con menos errores. El hecho de poder simular el

rendimiento en el mundo real tambin proporciona una mejor

comprensin de los costes, la planicacin y el impacto am-

biental.

Se espera que BIM se expanda rpidamente en el diseo detodo tipo de edicios, abriendo la puerta a los arquitectos para

explorar nuevas ormas de expresin - y el cobre es ideal para

ayudarles a realizar diseos innovadores.

Estrella FugazUna intervencin contempornea, revestida con una

aleacin dorada de cobre y acertadamente elegida

como marco para la exposicin Esplendor Dorado:

Tesoros del Arte Medieval en Westalia celebrada

este verano en Mnster (Alemania).

Situado en el centro de la Domplatz, este pabelln temporalestablece un contraste de modernidad respecto al centrohistrico de la ciudad, enlazando las salas de exposiciones del

Museo de Arte y de la Catedral. El proyecto ue el resultado de

la colaboracin entre la Escuela de Arquitectura de Mnster

y el estudio de arquitectura modulorbeat. Un equipo de estu-

diantes, encabezado por los arquitectos Marc Gnnewig y Jan

Kampsho, desarroll varios bocetos del proyecto.

Solucin DoradaFinalmente, un jurado opt por la solucin dorada, un edi-

cio en orma de estrella, que se caracteriza por las achadas

doradas de aleacin de cobre. Un pabelln temporal como ele-

mento de comunicacin para un evento relacionado con el ar te,

es algo ya conocido en Mnster. Hace cinco aos, el estudio

modulorbeat cre un edicio de tipologa similar que tambin

utilizaba una aleacin de cobre.

Funcionando como un taller vivo, en el pabelln se organiza-

ron sesiones educativas de ar te en paralelo con la exposicin.

Mirando por los rentes acristalados se aprecia la continua-

cin del diseo sencillo y sin adornos, que se extiende hacia

el interior. La estructura portante de madera queda expuesta,

dando homogeneidad a los suelos, los techos y las paredes con

supercies claras de madera, al igual que las ocho mesas de

trabajo montadas por los propios participantes en el proyecto.

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

site.

The double skin roo is nished in copper

trays with standing seam joints and was

installed by copper specialists Full Metal

Jacket, who recently won an Award or their

work on the project rom the National Fed-

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

the main entrance oyer.

Though the rationale in each case is

dierent, the use o copper at the Marlowe

echoes our previous work at the Unicorn

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 o 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.

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 architects

JKMM 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.
