Copper Architecture Forum 2012

Copper Architecture Forum 33, novembre 2012

Copper Architecture Forum ait partie de la Campagne europenne surlutilisation du cuivre en architecture . Ce magazine est publi deux ois paran raison de 25 000 exemplaires.

Il est distribu aux architectes et aux proessionnels du btiment dans toutelEurope et hors de ses rontires, en allemand, anglais, danois, espagnol,fnnois, ranais, hongrois, italien, norvgien, polonais, russe, sudois ettchque.

La diversifcation des applications du cuivreLe prsent numro prsente une palette clectique de btimentsrcents o le cuivre et ses alliages constituent un lment centralde lexpression architecturale. Il peut tre envisag comme un tourdhorizon typologique illustrant la diversifcation croissante de

lapplication de ce matriau par les concepteurs tous types debtiments et selon de nouvelles mthodes.

Le cuivre ait lobjet dune approche dont lvolution correspond la place quil occupe dans larchitecture moderne, y compris de nos

jours. Bien entendu, le cuivre est toujours uti lis pour les types debtiments auxquels il est historiquement associ. Mais souvent, unedmarche novatrice est adopte, comme pour la chapelle qui clt cenumro (p. 36-38), un cylindre conique qui ait irruption au centrede lenceinte de lcole dont il ait part ie, voquant la ois les dmeset les ches des dices religieux. Les toits de cuivre sont galementau cur de notre premier projet, latrium dun important htel deconrence (p. 4-7), sous la orme dune toile dconstruite en alliagedor dmontrant lapplicabilit de ce matriau aux ormes contem-poraines en intrieur comme en extrieur.

Sa mallabilit est encore davantage exploite par les courbes spec-taculaires dun club de bord de mer (p. 8-9), dont la construction at rendue possible par des techniques de modlisation inormatiqueorant une libert de conception particulirement attrayante. Aucontraire, la orme pouse la onction pour ce canot de sauvetage(p. 12-15) dont le cuivre enveloppe la coque, la protgeant des condi-tions les plus difciles. Cette conception probante peut dsormaistre reproduite partout ailleurs. Une ois de plus, la protection contre

les conditions extrieures ait appel au bronze et au verre pour isolerdeux pierres runiques (p. 28-29), mais de manire simple et sculptu-rale.

Des ormes clairement dnies caractrisent galement le TtreMarlowe (p. 16-19), une typologie laquelle le cuivre est tradition-nellement associ. Cest galement le cas pour les bibliothques pu-bliques , mais Seinjoki (p. 32-35) o une extension du centre Alvar

Aalto respecte son environnement visuel tout en sen dmarquant avecson habillage de cuivre. Une autre bibliothque, le Deptord Lounge(p. 2427), devient un btiment public nouveau, accueillant, mis envaleur par la transparence de ses aades en alliage dor.

La diversit typologique du cuivre slargit encore avec un traitementabstrait de ce matriau sous direntes ormes pour gayer les aadesdun parking plusieurs tages (p. 20-23), par ailleurs tout ce quil ya de plus commun. Une construction provisoire (p. 10-11), dun typeauquel le cuivre nest pas souvent associ acquiert une importanceparticulire grce son revtement dalliage dor. Enn, lextensiondune maison de taille modeste (p. 30-31) vient nous rappeler que lecuivre peut galement apporter ses qualits particulires lorsquil estcombin dautres matriaux.

Les applications du cuivre en architecture continuent se dvelop-per, grce aux architectes et lenthousiasme que ce matriau et sespossibilits leur inspirent. Nous continuerons vous en prsenter lesmeilleurs exemples, dans cette revue et sur www.copperconcept.org,avec votre contribution.

Le complexe Hamilton Island Yacht Club and Villas, situdans les les Whitsunday, dans la Grande Barrire de corailaustralienne, a t conu dans lobjecti de crer un certaineet visuel, non seulement perceptible depuis l le et la mer mais

galement depuis le ciel, an dtonner les nombreux visiteurs quiarrivent par les airs. Les architectes ont imagin un btiment per-ch sur le brise-lames voquant llment marin et la plaisance.Le processus de conception a men un assemblage sculpturalde ormes habilles de cuivre suggrant des voiles gonfes parle vent, des spinnakers, des quilles et des orces tourbillonnantesdes vents, des mares et des courants.

La partie centrale du yacht club est un porche couvert, ou piaz-za, qui donne sur les direntes salles communes et privatives.Avec un changement progressi de la hauteur des plaonds et unerampe processionnelle, le btiment donne sur une spectaculaireplate-orme surleve surplombant la mer. Le club dispose dins-tallations telles que des restaurants, des bars, un auditorium, des

salles de conrence, une salle de sport, un couloir de nage, unsalon de lecture et une salle dexposition. Ce complexe intgrpropose galement 35 villas individuelles.

Des ormes sophistiques habilles de cuivreLes toits sophistiqus du yacht club en orme de ptales sont sou-tenus par une ramication de colonnes en acier, dont les branchesrejoignent le toit incurv en dirents angles. Une structuredacier en grillage a t dveloppe, capable de se dployer

jusqu 16 m et datteindre 11 m en porte--aux, transrant lescharges latrales sur les murs centraux. Cela a permis de rduireau maximum la proondeur de la structure entre la couverture dutoit et le plaond, comme cette architecture lexige. Cela a gale-

ment simpli la abrication et la construction du toit. Le cuivrea t choisi pour sa durabilit ainsi que pour ses caractristiquesvisuelles et, bien sr, sa capacit unique revtir des ormes tr i-dimensionnelles complexes.

Modlisation des donnes du btimentLe recours la BIM (Building Inormation Modelling) sest avressentiel pour la conception dtaille et le processus de construc-tion du Hamilton Club, en particulier pour ses toits en cuivre.

Compte tenu de la complexit des ormes, de nombreux schmasen coupe et dessins de dtail ont t ncessaires pour illustrerlassemblage des composants. Des donnes ont t communi-ques dautres parties prenantes, par exemple au constructeurde la structure en acier, qui a travaill directement partir dumodle numrique.

La disponibilit sur site dun modle du btiment entirementnumris a galement permis lquipe de construction dob-server des dessins tridimensionnels mesure que le btimentprenait orme. Des vues en coupe des di rents lments taientgalement disponibles, qui ont aid tous les acteurs comprendreprcisment comment le btiment tait construit. Mais la BIM vabien au-del de la CAO et de la modlisation en trois dimensions,

en permettant daecter aux lments et aux matriaux des at-tributs tels que le cot, des caractristiques environnementaleset des rquences dentretien.

La BIM vise ournir un modle numrique complet deconception, de abrication, de construction et dutilisation desbtiments impliquant pleinement lensemble des acteurs prenantpart au projet. Elle aide les architectes raliser des conceptionsplus durables et prcises en rduisant les risques derreurs etles pertes. La possibilit deectuer une simulation des peror-mances en situation relle permet galement doptimiser lescots, la planication et limpact environnemental.

Le rle de la BIM dans la conception de btiments de tout typepromet de stendre rapidement. Elle constitue, pour les archi-tectes, un moyen dexploration de nouvelles ormes dexpressionet le cuivre est le matriau idal pour leur permettre de raliserdes conceptions innovantes.

The new structure sits on the ootprint

o the original building: well-positionedor lieboat launching in bad weatherbut also reducing the environmentalimpact o the scheme. At rst sight,the wave prole o The Lizard lieboatstation appears symbolic o its coastalposition - but orm really does ollowunction and refects the arrangemento internal accommodation, ocused on

the lieboat itsel. Essentially, the ves-

sel is mounted on a tipping cradle, whichtilts to align with the slipway, enabling itto be launched and recovered allowingvolunteer crews to reach those in trou-ble as quickly as possible. The outwardraking wall to the side o the buildingrefects the demand or accommodationat the main foor level with ast accessstraight 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 oneside o the building, which allows theheated 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 curveo the roo then encloses the minimumvolume required or the lieboat and cre-ates a simple orm that lends itsel toa single fexible roo nish. The designaims to maximise roo area while mini-mising penetrations to ensure a robust,weather-tight nish.

Copper ChoiceThe selection o metal roong was a logicalprogression rom the development o the dis-tinctive, wave-like, curved orm. PBWC projectarchitect Cian Spowart commented: Ater thePadstow project, we reviewed the roofng ma-

terial and system or The Lizard lieboat sta-tion. Here, copper was selected or its durabili-ty and capability o withstanding the aggressivecoastal environment, including the possibilityo debris being thrown up rom the sea. In ad-dition, the aesthetic choice o copper over othermetal roofng was driven by its characteristicweathering over time to give a rich green patinacomplementing the aqua blue hues o the localcoastline.

Challenging ConstructionUnsurprisingly, the buildings site at thebottom o a tight, steep slope presentedspecial challenges with construction. Thebuilding is predominately timber ramewith glulam-curved members providing the

iconic shape. Dry construction and preab-rication techniques are maximised or ast,sae assembly and ecient deliveries tosite.

The double skin roo is nished in coppertrays with standing seam joints and wasinstalled by copper specialists Full MetalJacket, who recently won an Award or theirwork on the project rom the National Fed-eration o Roong Contractors. The long-strip, copper trays were craned down ontothe 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 CathedralsUNESCO World Heritage Site, the new Marlowe Theatre makes a boldstatement on the Canterbury skyline. Architect Keith Williams discusses hispractices 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. Itsorm 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.

by Chris Hodson

An abstract design using vertical panels o copper withdierent suraces animates long, straight acades o anotherwise typical multi-storey car park, adding a sense omovement which refects its transport interchange setting.

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.

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 river.

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.

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, rangingrom the areas town planning to the smallest doordetail and is an invaluable cultural asset which givesthe 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 OldLibrary.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN OLD AND NEW

Built in 1965, the Library needed a modern extensionto meet todays demands and JKMMs design, calledClover, won the competition or the project. The aimwas to create dialogue between old and new. The newlibrary respects the protected cultural environmentbut, at the same time, takes pride in contemporaryarchitecture. 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 mosextensive cluster o buildings designed by AlvaAalto in the world. Asmo Jaaksi o architectsJKMM explains his practices approach to designing a new addition to this hallowed Aalto Centre.

VARIED INTERESTING SHAPES

The new library stands separate rom Altosoriginal, although connected by an under-ground link. Division o the building intothree sculptural units was an important de-

cision to be able to blend the large buildingvolume with the surrounding townscape.This generates varied, interesting shapeswhen viewed rom dierent directions. Theexposed boarded-ormwork concrete in-teriors are punctuated by careully placedwindows and larger glazing oering con-trolled views o the Centre. The view romthe glazed wall in the main library hall isdominated by the highlights o the area: thebell tower or the Cross o the Plains Churchand the an-shaped acade o the original

Aalto Library. The heart o the building isthe wide staircase, intended or dierentevents and as an inormal meeting place,which leads to the collection departmentson the ground foor and through the con-necting underground corridor to the AaltoLibrary.

LIVELY AND VIVID SURFACE

The external skin o the new library isdominated by copper. The darkening pre-

oxidised copper sets the new library apartrom the whiteness o the surroundingbuildings. Copper is not a new material tothe area but in the Aalto Centre it is mainlythe roos that eature the materials beauti-ully patinated green suraces. In the newlibrary, 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 thebuilding a highly individual, lively and vivid

surace. In some situations, the shinglesurace is ormed into ventilation slots toaccommodate air handling. Copper is alsoused to orm vertical grilles and as a dooracing 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.
