    Te copper covering o the spires was renewed in 1972-73. Te

    100-year-old roo covering had cracks and was leaking, and needed

    to be replaced together with parts o the timber construction.

    Already a couple o years later, cracks in the new copper sheeting

    were discovered, particularly in the swinging part o the spire.

    Since then, mechanical and thermal conditions have aected the

    copper sheeting and in several places destroyed attachments on the

    underside o the roo.

    Tere are many theories about what went wrong with the covering

    o the two main spires. Could it be a aulty seaming technique?

    Or has poor ventilation caused the air to stay inside the roo, thuspressing the copper sheeting outwards? oday, all damaged wood

    in the spires have been replaced and a new roo covering, using

    approximately 10 tons o 0.75 mm sot, untreated copper, has been

    done using new methods that will ensure a long lie.

    Te roo above the crossing is no longer impregnated. Te

    enormous beams are made o Douglas r. Tey are so big that they

    cannot be lited by a crane when connected, but will have to be

    test-assembled on the ground, then separated and lited up piece by

    piece, to be assembled nally on the roo. One o the pieces, the

    central beam, measures 320 x 320 mm, is 15.20 metres long and

    weighs approximately 1,100 kg.

    Douglas r, which resembles larch, contains a lot o resin and tan

    substance, which make it resistant to decay and ungus. Oak is used

    or brick-wall support and base beams at the roo rame. Some o

    the wood is Fleet oak, rom oak trees planted ater the deeat o

    the Danish feet in 1807. Te carpentry contractor responsible or

    the woodwork has in addition engaged three Swiss and German

    carpenters with the greatest expertise wearing in black costumes

    with shiny buttons and big hats and with special experience in

    renovating old timber constructions in European churches usingsophisticated tools.

    When all carpentry has been completed, the roo will be covered

    with about 20 tons o 0.75-mm sot copper sheeting. Once again

    people will be able to enjoy the tall silhouette o the Cathedral rom

    a distance or the next 100 years to come as there is nothing now

    that eats the copper rom the inside.

    It took a ew years, at a cost o 100 million crowns. But so what,

    when you think about what we otherwise spend millions on!

    COPPER DECONSTRUCTIONA major sports building in Budapest, Hungary mutates its straightorward rectangular

    plan into a complex aceted copper rooscape.

    The building in Csrsz Street is a simple one as ar as

    its foor plan is concerned. It is made up o two squares

    o identical area, one o them housing the gym hall withgrandstand seating, the other containing a swimming-pool

    with auxiliary acilities wrapped around in an L-shape. The

    circulation system linking both unctions is clearly presented:

    the two blocks are both separated and connected by open

    and enclosed public circulation spaces on two levels. This

    arrangement also separates bareoot pedestrians rom

    those in ootwear.

    But it is at roo level that the designers T2.a Architects

    reveal the true orm o this extraordinary building. Here a

    series o apparently random, aceted planes all clad in

    copper deconstruct the regular cube orms below. Viewed

    rom Csrsz Street or rom the longitudinal aade to theadjacent gardens, the building suggests ragmented pieces

    o a broken shell. Some o the copper planes interlink to

    orm a continuous roo surace, while others generate

    areas o vertical glazing between them to provide generous

    natural lighting into the spaces below. These copper planes

    carry over to vertical suraces dropping down rom the roo

    area to meet the rendered walls below.

    ACCORDIA CAMBRIDGE UK

    By Chris Hodson

    In this 8-page eature, architect Chris Hodson looks at dierent as-

    pects o a particularly infuential British housing project. Following

    this project overview is a closer building study o one house design,

    then a discussion about the architectural role o copper and nally

    detailed design o a particular copper-clad building element.

    A NEW PARADIGM FOR URBAN HOUSING

    Te site, ormerly occupied by low-rise gov-

    ernment oces built in the 1940s, lies to

    one side o Brooklands Avenue, close to the

    Botanic Gardens and the railway stationin south Cambridge. Te locality is char-

    acterised by large terraced and individual

    19th century villas. Accordia is a strategi-

    cally important new residential quarter or

    Cambridge and the last major undeveloped

    browneld site close to the city centre, in

    a key position between the city and open

    elds. As a result, the municipal plan-

    ning authority insisted that the developer

    Countryside Properties employed good

    designers to maximise the unique opportu-

    nities presented by the site.

    Accordia is thereore the result o an unu-

    sual collaboration between three o the

    UKs most highly regarded architects led

    by master-planners Feilden Clegg Bradley

    Studios (FCBS) with associate architects

    Alison Brooks Architects and Maccreanor

    Lavington working closely with land-

    scape architects Grant Associates and other

    consultants. Building work started on site

    in September 2003 and still continues to-

    day. Te development comprises 212 houses

    and 166 apartments on a 9.5 hectare site at

    a density o 40 dwellings per hectare over-

    all including landscape spaces. In addition

    to master-planning, Feilden Clegg Bradley

    Studios designed 230 o the dwellings and

    subcontracted 30% to Maccreanor Laving-

    ton and 10% to Alison Brooks Architects to

    design the rest.

    with shared suraces, discreet car parking and integrated

    cycle parking or all dwellings. Each dwelling is accessed

    rom an urban street side but opens out onto, and enjoys

    views o a shared landscape which includes amenities or

    passive and active recreation. Te orm o the buildings

    is not only determined by the relationship and scale othe open space and urban rontages but also by the solar

    orientation. Te larger scale apartment buildings and ter-

    races are associated with the bigger open spaces and are

    typically on an east/west orientation to minimise over-

    shadowing o adjacent homes. Te lower terraces and

    courts are arranged around the more intimate landscape

    spaces with south acing terraced gardens.

    Te project received strong support rom the municipal

    planning authority, local residents o the area and CABE

    - the governments advisor on architecture, urban design

    and public space. It has also won a range o important

    Awards, including the UKs top architectural award the

    Royal Institute o British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize

    in 2008, the rst housing project to do so.

    ompleted early on in the Accordia

    project, in March 2006, these our

    400m2 semi-detached houses ormpart o a row o substantial properties that

    ront onto Brooklands Avenue and showcase

    Accordia. Inspired by the array o unusual old

    villas along Brooklands Avenue, the house de-

    sign provides a fexible open plan layout with

    internal spaces varying in height and orienta-

    tion within the envelope dened by FCBS

    high density, sustainable masterplan.

    Split down the middle to create a top-lit, triple

    height atrium and stair hall, the two halves

    are oset to create a split level so that the liv-

    ing room becomes a 4.5 metre high space. Te

    ground foor was conceived as an open plan

    landscape with a sunken living room, re-

    place and dining areas having large glazed

    areas opening onto outdoor patios and ter-

    races. A single curved pre-patinated copper

    roo sweeps over the top foor o each house

    creating a huge open plan amily room, with

    a replace, roofights and a wall o glass open

    to the sky.

    Te buildings are primarily clad in yellow

    stock brick in line with the masterplan withopenings reely placed in the elevations. Te

    ront and back acades have projecting porti-

    coes to provide shading or the large areas o

    south acing glazing and to create blinkers to

    reduce overlooking and increase privacy.

    Alison Brooks, comments: Tis house is

    about spatial drama, openness and natural

    light. Te split level, open planning has al-

    lowed us to create a house with no corridors

    and double height living spaces. Te central

    atrium lls the centre o the house with light

    and creates a visual connection between all

    levels o the house. Te top foor amily room

    is an ideal fexible space- an ideal party room,

    games room, or it could even be another bed-

    room suite. Tis house restores some o the

    glamour o living in a substantial urban villa,

    but has the fexibility needed by the modern

    amily.

    30 COPPER FORUM 26/09

    A limited palette o high quality external

    materials was developed by FCBS at the

    master-planning stage, which the other

    architects embraced and adapted to suit

    their particular architecture. FCBS Partner

    Mike Keys explains: We dened the type

    o architecture with the local planners rom

    the start combining a modern approach

    to housing and design with high quality

    traditional materials with a local heritage.

    Walls or the houses are generally yellow

    brick, close to traditional Cambridge stock

    bricks, and there is extensive use o timber

    and dark coloured windows. Copper roos,

    distinct areas o cladding and elements such

    as the prominent bay windows harmonise

    well with the brick. Ten, or the larger

    apartment buildings copper becomes the

    predominant acade material again sitting

    comortably alongside timber elements, the

    dark windows and stone gabion plinth. It

    was interesting to us that copper could de-liver crisp detailing or eatures such as the

    bay windows and also a soter, living sur-

    ace in larger areas on apartment acades.

    FCBS are no strangers to designing with

    copper and regularly use the material on a

    wide range o building types. In act, the

    practice has been commended on a number

    o occasions in the European Copper in

    Architecture Awards (reported in previous

    issues o Copper Forum). Mike Keys adds:

    We are very comortable with the envi-

    ronmental credentials o copper as a ully

    sustainable material with an exceptionally

    long liespan and a history o recycling. We

    did commission a report on the rainwater

    runo rom the copper at Accordia, as wa-

    ter drains via a sustainable drainage system

    (SUDS) into an historic watercourse - origi-

    nally the drinking water supply to the Col-

    leges. Tis revealed that runo was not an

    issue. Copper gutters and downpipes both

    external and hidden were used widely in

    the design or visual continuity and ease o

    maintenance, which we ound to be sur-

    prisingly cost-eective.

    Te other two architects o Accordia also

    made extensive use o copper but in theirown unique way. Project architect Dominic

    McKenzie explains Alison Brooks Archi-

    tects particular approach: We were very

    All those involved with Accordia have a longstanding commitment to sustainable design.

    The buildings and landscape have been designed with sustainability principles in mind,

    including the environmental perormance o each dwelling type, water usage, the meth-

    ods used or construction and the materials.

    comortable with the central role o copper

    as one o the FCBS master-plans external

    tant part o Cambridges historic skyline -

    probably more so than most other British

    cities and that tradition continues with

    contemporary buildings. Tis aesthetic is

    typied by the distinctive green patina o

    the material ater long exposure to the ele-

    ments and we chose pre-patinated copper to

    give this vibrancy straightaway on the rst

    our houses we designed. In contrast, ournext design or Accordia a 10 unit apart-

    Copper-clad, square bay windows are

    used requently at ground and upper levels

    throughout the FCBS buildings at Accor-

    dia, dening an important and recogniz-

    able theme. Generous glazing allows day-

    light deep into the buildings and rames

    the occupants views o the landscaped

    surroundings. But the bay windows also

    incorporate discreet side-opening copper-

    clad vents to allow air in. Careul detail-

    ing proved central to the success o theseelements.

    FCBS partner Mike Keys says: Straight-

    orward detailing with care particularly

    where diferent materials meet is a hall-

    mark o Accordias architecture. Te interac-

    tion o the window system we selected with

    the copper cladding and vents had to be

    careully worked out. We were particularly

    concerned to detail neat copper fashings

    into the brickwork and avoid the large, un-

    tidy upstands and drips too oten seen with

    housing details in the UK. Te standardo copper cratsmanship was consistently

    high at Accordia so that our details were

    executed just as we intended.

    This building is a signifcant piece

    o architecture situated on the

    hilltop o Lelekovice near Brno in

    South Moravia, Czech Republic At

    fst sight you encounter the seg-

    mentation o material and col-

    ours, which mutually harmonise

    and create a pointed aesthetic

    contrast as well a layering o

    materials and shades o colours.

    The design determinants came rom the

    regional planning o Lelekovice and rom

    the investors priorities to create harmony

    o between nature, the house and living in

    the house.

    The house was set on a sloping terrain

    with the aim o creating an architecturally

    interesting building or a man and nature

    living together, particularly with respect

    to the choice o materials. A simple pal-

    ette o three materials copper, stone and

    wood determines the natural eel o the

    building.

    34 COPPER FORUM 26/09

    Since the beginning o the year copper has traded in a broad

    range o USD 3,000/t and USD 3,600/t and is currently trading

    around mid-range levels o USD 3,300/t. Prices strengthened

    in January due to the commodity index rebalancing, and later

    in early February prices traded at range highs as rumours o

    strategic buying by Chinese SRB hit the market. However, the

    price outlook remains weak with the real economy in recession,

    credit issues prevailing and the US housing market in its

    worst state in decades. We believe that copper prices have held

    surprisingly well despite the weak demand picture, heavy selling

    rom nancials and the lower growth outlook or the economy

    and that any major rally in copper is unsustainable in the short

    term given the weakness in undamentals.

    Tere has been no improvement in the demand outlook. We

    would rather argue that the situation seems to be getting even

    worse. Key consuming sectors, automotive and construction, are

    in a bad state and the demand outlook or these areas is not likely

    to brighten in the medium term. For instance, US automakers

    are going to cut production in relation to the US government

    nancing package, and US housing starts, reported this week,

    plummeted to record lows (-16.8%, 466k units, annual rate)

    and were down even more than expected. Meanwhile, stimulus

    packages and inrastructure spending will lend some support

    to copper wire and cable demand in the medium term as will

    potential buying by the SRB or the Chinese strategic reserves.

    Chinese import demand has been relatively strong with Q4

    2008 net rened imports up 70% y/y.

    Copper Recent tradingwithin clear price range,

    but still risk or new declinesBy Ukko Massinen and Thina M. Saltvedt, Nordea Commodities

    We have experienced price jumps on index reweighing and strategic buying.

    Weak uture outlook

    Financial actors in deep short positions

    Small production cuts compared to other metals

    Producers have continued to curtail output in the low price

    environment. A urther 100ktpy o capacity has been announced

    to be taken o line. However, production cuts in copper have

    been marginal compared to other metals. Tis is because a large

    number o operations are cash positive even in the current price

    environment. Prices will need to correct below USD 3,000/t or

    the supply side to tighten signicantly. Tat said, the longer-

    term supply pipeline looks thin and will result in a tighter copper

    market once the economy picks up.

    Copper inventories have continued to build and currently total

    a mere 530k tonnes. Given the weak demand environment we

    expect the levels to increase also going orward. Inventories

    should be closely monitored as any change in the trend will act

    as a good sign o a pick-up in physical demand.

    Te Reuters semi-annual poll o metals analysts published in

    January shows that copper prices in 2009 and 2010 will average

    USD 3,471/t and USD 4,329/t, respectively. Tis implies that

    on average prices are not expected to drit signicantly rom

    current levels this year, but are likely to correct higher in the

    longer run. We agree with the consensus that prices are unlikely

    to move signicantly higher rom current levels in the medium

    term, but we believe that prices could all below USD 3,000/t in

    the coming months given weak undamentals.

    HISTORYTe Leppsuo estate is the only City campus estate in Helsinki

    with a history dat ing back to the 1940s, when the Student Union o

    the University o Helsinki initiated the building o student houses.

    At the turn o the millennium, the constant increase in the number

    o students at the University resulted in a lack o activity and as-

    sembly acilities, in particular. In addition to the Student Union,the Helsinki School o Economics, which is located near the cam-

    pus and is part o the uture Aalto University, was also looking or

    acilities in the area or the needs o HSE Executive Education.

    Te Student Union o the University o Helsinki and the Helsinki

    School o Economics joined orces in 1999 and started the design

    project o the Tird Student Union Building in the only available

    plot in the area, in the corner o Mechelininkatu Street and Lep-

    psuonkatu Street.

    Domus GaudiumThird Student Union Building

    Te Old Student Union Building and the New Student Union

    Building on Mannerheimintie Road had been built in 1870 and

    1910, respectively. Te Tird Student Union Building was com-

    pleted in Leppsuo in November 2008 and in the inauguration cer-

    emony was christened Domus Gaudium, the House o Joy.

    TOWNSCAPE, ARCHITECTURETe 8-storey residential buildings in Domus Academica orm anopen block structure, which is rather atypical o a downtown area,

    but then they were originally located in the outskirts o the town.

    As a 2-storey corner building, Domus Gaudium will integrate the

    block structure and serve as a pedestal or the vertical rhythm o

    the point blocks. It has adopted its scale rom the low-rise build-

    ings on Mechelininkatu Street, such as the adjacent Domus library

    designed by Architects Arkkitehtitoimisto Einari ersvita, which

    is now known as the Helecon Inormation Centre.

    Student House Domus Gaudium is an interesting project in many ways. It is the most recent ad

    dition among student houses in Finland. The tradition o student unions building their ow

    houses was reinorced toward the end o the 19th century. Signicant student houses in

    clude e.g. the old Poli, i.e. the House o the Student Union o the Helsinki Universit

    o Technology designed by architects Karl Lindahl and Walter Thom and bui

    in 1903 as well as the new Dipoli student union house designed by archi

    tects Reima and Raili Pietil and built in the 1960s in Espoo, whe

    the University o Technology moved into Otaniemi in Espoo

    Domus Gaudeum represents a building designe

    to support the activities o student unions in

    downtown campus o a small metropoli

    tan area, Helsinki. The contempora

    ry architecture o the buildin

    is resh and excellentl

    In addition to its complementary role in the block structure, the

    aim has been to render Domus Gaudium the expression o a sym-

    bolic building that it deserves on the basis o its unctions. Despite

    the small size o the building, it boasts two impressive entrances;

    the more public entrance is on Mechelininkatu Street and the other

    on the Domus Square. Not only does this acilitate the activities

    carried out in the building, it also refects the two end-user groups.

    Te undersides and the wall suraces o the loty entrance shelters

    made o steel structures are covered with copper sheets, which are

    illuminated at night. Te ground-level, cast-in-situ concrete sur-

    aces have been adorned by sculptor Pertti Kukkonen with fakes o

    copper and he also pre-patinated the concrete giving it a greenish

    colour. Te original idea was to create a copper recess pre-patinated

    in green, but this could not be realised due to the economic down-

    turn, so we will have to wait or the copper to become naturally

    patinated.

    Te longest unbroken acade o the building on Leppsuonkatu

    Street was realised as a double acade o steel and glass construc-

    tion. It shines like a lantern at night in the main approach direc-

    tions refecting the swit pace o student activities and educational

    unctions that oten continue till late at night.

    Te oce acilities o Executive Education are located in the An-

    nex on the side o Mechelininkatu Street and open up to the Street

    through generous, large window suraces. Solid wall suraces are

    connected to adjacent buildings with discreet, warm plaster sur-

    aces in light colours.

    Te third foor o the building is virtually invisible. A pavilion-type

    sauna department in the centre o the roo area is called Civilisa-

    tion. An almost 100 m2 roo terrace completes this civilised sauna

    foor.

    INTERIOR A partly 3-storey lobby extending rom the entrance on Meche-

    lininkatu Street to the entrance on Domus square acts as the unc-

    tional and spatial axis o the interior acilities. Te most dominat-

    ing element o the lobby in terms o space is a body with rounded

    edges foating on the level o the second foor, seemingly separated

    rom everything else. Te orm o this body, which contains two

    lecture rooms, has been achieved with gypsum boards bent round

    the curved steel rame. Te steel arches o the rame are xed with60 cm spacing to the concrete slabs o the roo and the intermediate

    foor. Te auditorium wall which separates the body rom the team-

    work rooms is hollow and carries building services. Most o the

    load-bearing columns are spiral welded steel composite columns

    lled with concrete. Beams are Delta steel beams.

    Te typical character o the central lobby is also enhanced by two

    walkways o steel construction, which run along the ull length o

    the lobby connecting the various foor levels in terms o both access

    and visual expression. Te tall lobby brings light into the under-

    ground basement foor, which contains acilities also included in

    the foor area o the building. Te lobby connects these acilities di-

    rectly with the acilities located under the Domus Square courtyard

    and in the basement o the D building. Tese acilities were also

    renovated and converted simultaneously with the building project

    o Domus Gaudium.

    Te ormer Alibi Restaurant, or example, was completely reno-

    vated and reurbished in this connection. Natural lighting in the

    restaurant was essentially improved by a new glass pyramid o steel

    construction, which opens up to the Domus Square. Te new gala

    room o the Student Union was built in the lower basement under

    the restaurant and or this reason the basement had to be loweredca. 1.5 m. Many other acoustically challenging acilities were also

    realised in the basement, such as band rehearsal rooms and a small

    music hall. All the ceiling, foor and wall suraces o these acilities

    were separated rom the concrete rame o the building by multiple

    layers o gypsum boards mounted on steel structures.

    Te underground acilities o the buildings also provide parking

    space or ca. 100 cars.
