Diversifering av kopparI det hr numret presenterar vi en eklektisk samling nya byggnader drhuvudrollen i det arkitektoniska uttrycket spelas av koppar och desslegeringar. Det kan ses som en typologisk rundtur dr vi lyter ramdet diversierade bruket av koppar. Designer anvnder materialet i allt
hgre utstrckning r alla typer av byggnader och p helt nya stt.
Synen p koppar har rndrats i takt med dess kade betydelse inommodern arkitektur. Och det bara ortstter. Givetvis anvnds kopparortarande p de byggnader som vi historiskt brukar associera den med.Men numera ser vi ota nya grepp. Ett bra exempel r kapellet som viavslutar det hr numret med (s. 3638) en konisk cylinder som bryterram mitt i dess huserande skolbyggnad och r tankarna till kyrkligakupoler och spiror. Koppartak r ocks hjrtat i vrt rsta projekt, ettatrium i ett strre konerenshotell (s. 47), men i orm av en dekonstru-erad stjrna i guldrgad legering, vilket demonstrerar materialets mj-ligheter r innovativa moderna ormer hela vgen inirn och ut.
Materialets ormbara egenskaper tas nnu lngre i de dramatiska kur-
vorna p ett klubbhus vid havet (s. 89). De kunde skapas genom data-modellering, en teknik som erbjuder svindlande mjligheter av design-mssig rihet. Som kontrast till detta har vi tagit med en livbtsstationdr ormen ljer unktionen (s. 1215). Stationen har utormats runtartyget som den huserar och koppar har anvnds som skydd mot denkrva miljn en nu beprvad design som r redo att reproduceras pandra platser. Ytterligare ett exempel p miljskydd r en inhgnad ibrons och glas r tv antika runstenar (s. 2829) med enkla ormkva-liteter.
ven Marlowe Teatre utmrks av skarpt denierade ormer (s. 1619),en typologi som traditionellt associeras med koppar. Detsamma kansgas om allmnna bibliotek. Men i Seinjoki (s. 3235) rtjnar till-byggnationen av A lvar Aalto-centret sin ikoniska kontext samtidigt som
den, kldd i koppar, hller sig p distans. Ett annat bibliotek DeptordLounge (s. 2427) utvecklas till en byggnad r gemenskap som vl-komnar genom transparensen av dess gyllene asader.
Kopparens typologiska mngald tas nnu lngre dr olika ormer av ma-terialet anvnds med en abstrakt e stetik och livar upp asaderna p en an-nars typisk bilparkering i fera plan (s. 2023). Och en modern byggnad(s. 1011) ytterligare en typ som vanligen inte associeras med koppar med srskild betydelse d den r helt tckt i guldrgad legering. Slut-ligen kommer vi till en ansprksls husutbyggnad (s. 3031) som pmin-ner om hur kopparen ocks kan tillra specika kvaliteter tillsammansmed andra material.
Koppararkitekturen r under stndig utveckling tack vare arkitekterna
och deras entusiasm ver mjligheterna med materialet. Och vi kommer,med din hjlp, ortstta att lyta ram de rmsta exemplen hr och pwww.copperconcept.org.

Clarion Hotel i Trondheim r ett av Skandinaviens mest betydande
konventhotell och det strsta i Norge. Arkitekterna i Space Group
anvnde en strategi dr tjocka blockliknande fyglar med privata rumplacerades s att gsterna skulle kunna njuta av de bsta vyerna
ver havet, landskapet och staden. Genom denna vridning av bygg-
nationen ppnas det centrala atriumet upp i en imponerande tredi-
mensionell yta dr det komplexa, nedtsluttande taket tar ormen av
en mngasetterad, dekonstruerad gyllene stjrna. Byggnaden ger
dramatiska eekter ur alla vinklar men i synnerhet ovanirn vilket
r den vinkel de festa beskare ser stjrnan irn r rsta gngen,
nr de anlnder med fyget.
Ett hotellkomplex i Norge strvar eter att rndra kone-
rensupplevelsen dramatiskt med ett helt nytt grepp om det
moderna atriumet, som Chris Hodson uttrycker det.

Den gyllene stjrnans delar bryter ram
mellan byggnaderna och binder dem samman
Utvalda materialDesignen uppvisar en ytterst genom-
tnkt materialanvndning r de olika
elementen. Den massiva, strukturerade
mrka ldan som rymmer den huvud-
sakliga konerenshallen, str i skarp
kontrast till de inglasade sovrumsblock-
en vars vita silkesintryck lses upp i en
molnliknande eekt runt nstren. De-
larna av den dekonstruerade guldstjr-
nan, ormad med en legering av koppar,aluminium och zink, bryter ram mellan
alla block och hller dem samman.
Arkitekten r projektet, Jens Niehues,
kommenterar: Vi ann att kopparlege-
ring var ett material som gav oss mj-
lighet att utorma en vibrerande yta som
refekterar de inneboende egenskaper i
en stjrna men samtidigt har en yllig,
gyllene rg. Utver vra konceptuella
intentioner var det givetvis ndvndigt
att materialet kunde tla det krvande
klimatet p Norges vstkust.
Kopparlegeringen kommer inte att ut-
veckla ngon bl eller grn patina ens
i det hr hrda klimatet, utan kommer
att behlla samma guldton ver tid.
Materialets egenskaper tillter verti-kala, horisontella och lutande skarvar
vilket ramhver stjrnans triangulra
orm. Dessutom gick det att arbeta ram
skarpa kanter och tydliga detaljer vid
takrnnorna. Valet av guldrgad kop-
parlegering betalade sig verkligen i slut-
resultatet.

Dramatiken stegrasDramatiken stegras nr man kommer in och
det externa ormuttrycket lses upp i interi-
rens stora, ppna utrymmen. I hjrtat av det
hr uppattas det vertikala mittomrdet som
en omvandling av det typiska, endimensionella
atriumet till en dynamisk, tredimensionell sr.
Hr skitar stmning och skala mellan intim
och spektakulr, p samma stt som pano-
ramautsikten kontrasterar med interirens
kristalliska gestaltningar som r tankarnatill dramatiska isormationer, fak och klippor.

nans lnga band ut sig.

Klubbhuset r Hamilton Island Yacht Club and Villas
p Whitsundayarna r en del av Stora Barrirrevet i
Australien och utormades r att gra visuellt intryck
inte bara rn land och hav utan ven ovanirn d mnga
gster anlnder med fyg. Arkitekterna restllde sig en bygg-
nad som skulle breda ut sig ver piren och lyta ram marina
element, sjart och segling. Designprocessen mynnade ut i
en skulptural samling av kopparkldda ormer som r tan-
karna till vindyllda segel, spinnakrar, skepp och de virvlande
kraterna av blst, tidvatten och strmmar.
Yachtklubbens hjrta utgrs av en inbyggd veranda, eller pi-
azza, som leder in till de olika privata och o entliga rummen.
Innertakets gradvisa hjdskillnader och ramper leder till en
dramatisk upphjd plattorm som skjuter ut ver vattnet.
Klubbhuset rymmer fera olika inrttningar restauranger,
barer, ett auditorium, konerenssviter, gym, simbassng, ls-
rum och utstllningshall. Det integrerade byggnadskomplexeterbjuder ven 35 ristende villor.
Komplexa kopparkldda ormerDe komplexa kronbladsormade taken brs upp av stlpelare i
orm av trdstammar, med grenar som mter det bgormade
taket i en rad olika vinklar. Ett byggnadsgaller i stl med en
rckvidd p 16 meter och en konsol p 11 meter ck utveck-
las r att verra belastningen rn sidorna till de centrala
vggarna. Avstndet mellan takbekldnad och innertak kunde
drmed minimeras, vilket arkitekturen krvde. Det renklade
ven tillverkning och konstruktion av taket. Koppar valdes r
dess tlighet och visuella egenskaper samt, naturligtvis, dessunika egenskaper som mjliggr bekldnad av komplexa tre-
dimensionella ormer.
BIM-teknik Building Inormation Modelling
BIM-teknik visade sig vara avgrande r den detaljerade ut-
ormningen och konstruktionsprocessen r Hamilton Club i
synnerhet dess koppartak. Till ljd av ormernas komplexitet
krvdes mnga sektioner och detaljerade ritningar r att visa
hur komponenterna skulle passas ihop. Inormationen expor-
terades till vriga involverade exempelvis till tillverkaren av
byggnadsstl som arbetade direkt utirn den digitala modellen
Tillgngen till en ullstndig digital modell av byggnaden p
plats innebar ocks att konstruktionsteamet kunde visa tre-
dimensionella ritningar under processens gng. De olika
komponenterna kunde ven visas i genomskrning, vilket gjor-
de det enklare r alla att rst exakt hur byggnaden skulle
konstrueras. BIM gr mycket lngre n CAD och tredimensio-nell modellering, genom att komponenter och material ven
visas med tillhrande attribut, till exempel kostnader, milj-
egenskaper och underhllsintervall.
BIM strvar eter att erbjuda en ullstndig digital modell r
design, tillverkning, konstruktion och anvndning av byggna-
der, dr alla intressenter r helt och hllet involverade. Det
skulle hjlpa arkitekter att skapa mer hllbar och exakt design
med rre el och mindre spill. Etersom det gr att simulera
utrande i den verkliga vrlden r det ocks lttare att rst
kostnader, schemalggning och miljpverkan.
BIM rvntas vxa snabbt inom design av alla typer av byggna-der. Det ppnar drren r utorskande av nya uttrycksormer
och koppar r idealiskt r att realisera innovativ design.

Flyktig stjrnaEn allt igenom modern konstruktion kldd i guldr-
gad kopparlegering med det trande namnet Gyl-
lene prakt: Medeltida konstskatter i Westalen, en
utstllning som hlls i Mnster, Tyskland, i sommar.
Mitt p Domplatz (katedraltorget) utgr paviljongen
en modern kontrast till den historiska stadskrnan
och sammanr utstllningshallarna i museet med
katedralens konstkammare. Paviljongen r ett resultat av
samarbetet mellan Mnster School o Architecture och arki-
tektrman Modulorbeat. Under ledning av arkitekterna Marc
Gnnewig och Jan Kampsho, utvecklade ett team med ur-
sprungligen 33 studenter olika designrslag.
Den gyllene lsningenSlutligen valde en jury den gyllene lsningen, en stjrnor-
mad byggnad i stiliserad korsorm som karakteriseras av de
guldrgade asaderna i kopparlegering. Att upprtta en till-
llig paviljong inr en konsthndelse r inte alldeles nytt r
Mnster. Fr em r sedan skapade Modulorbeat en liknande
byggnad, ven den i kopparlegering.Paviljongen ungerade som en levande verkstad och fera
utbildningssessioner hlls parallellt med utstllningen. Om
man tittar genom de inglasade yttervggarna ser man hur den
enkla osmyckade interiren gr igen i hela byggnaden. Den
brande strukturen, som r tillverkad i massivt eller korsla-
minerat tr, r alldeles kal vilket ger golv, tak och vggar en
enhetlig lyster liksom de 8 arbetsborden som deltagarna
sjlva monterat.

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,

strip, copper trays were craned down onto

The Marlowe is, in ormal terms, a complex
pavilion. It sets up a dynamic relationship
with its viewers, giving dierent architec-tural and urban emphasis depending rom
where in the city it is viewed. At street
level, its architecture is ordered by an
8m high colonnaded loggia in white cast
Dolomite stone, which orms a portal to
the multi-level glazed oyer and sets up a
civic elevation to the Friars, an important
historic street within the city. The oyer
connects all the major internal spaces to
the riverside terraces and pathways and is
seen as a crystal ribbon by day transorm-
ing into a blade o light by night. New viewso the rootops o the historic city and its
cathedral open up rom the main stairs
and upper levels.
The colonnaded loggia mediates be-
tween the street scale o the Friars (the
street which the Marlowe aces) and the
necessarily larger orms o the two thea-
tres and the fy tower. The colonnaded
Standing on the banks o the River Stour and close to Canterbury Cathedrals
UNESCO World Heritage Site, the new Marlowe Theatre makes a bold
statement on the Canterbury skyline. Architect Keith Williams discusses his
practices competition-winning design and its use o materials.

overhang also provides shelter to the
south-acing oyer rom high angle solar
gain and provides an architectural unity tothe composition. A new public square has
been created by setting the Marlowe back
rom the existing street edge.
The fy tower o the old theatre, widely
regarded as an eyesore, was the second
tallest structure in the city ater Bell
Harry, the medieval Cathedrals principal
tower. The new Marlowes fy tower is 9m
taller than its predecessor, allowing it to
be sculpted to create a pinnacle orm ac-
ing toward the Cathedral, adding accent
and silhouette to the citys skyline. Its
orm can be seen as a prominent symbol
o secular architecture within the historic
city whilst ensuring that Bell Harry re-
tains its predominance. From the east, the
fy tower dominates the street scene an-
nouncing this major new cultural project
within the city.
Materiality and ContextualityThe composition and massing o the new
Marlowe is rooted in its context. The build-ing is seen to step up in scale gradually
rom a lower-rise street scale along the
Friars, up to the larger volumes o the
main auditorium and fy tower beyond.
Materiality is also determined to a large
degree contextually, in that it borrows
the hues and tones o the Canterbury
townscape. The reconstituted stone col-
onnade takes its cue rom the whites and
creams o buildings in the city, whilst the
pre-oxidised brown copper cladding ech-
oes the colour and hues o the nearby tiledrootops. Materials are used to create
something highly contemporary, whilst at
the same time complimentary to the con-
text in terms o texture and colour.
Copper plays a distinct role in the compo-
sition o the theatre overall, surrounding
the volume o the studio space, which me-diates between the entrance scale and the
larger volumes beyond. The studio theatre
is raised 4 metres above the ground; a vol-
ume wrapped entirely in copper. As such it
is almost at roo level o the surrounding
buildings hence the relationship between
the reddish brown copper cladding with
the colouration o Canterburys rooscape.
The underside o this volume orms the
internal sot to the restaurant space cre-
ated beneath. The raising o the volume
allows the restaurant to be slid beneathat oyer level, giving views to an adjacent
external terrace and the banks o the River

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

Theatre in London, completed in 2005 (UK

ANIMATING
THE UTILITARIAN
Forming part o the Hub development at Nottingham RailwayStation, this 6-storey structure accommodates 950 car spaces.
The 112 m long building is sandwiched between the railway to
the north and the busy Queens Road to the south with older
buildings beyond. Architects Leeds Studio developed an original
design by another practice, BDP, (ollowing a successul bid by
VINCI Construction UK) adding an array o horizontally banded
vertical copper panels to transorm this typical parking building.
The panels create an architectural language and are continuous
over curtain walling as well as conventional open car parking
decks, only being broken by the concrete lit core on the West
Elevation.
The palette o copper suraces at Nottingham includes solid
green pre-patinated copper and a variant with less intense
patination, revealing some background material. Standard mill
nish and light brown pre-oxidised copper were also used, to-
gether with an alloy o copper and aluminium with a long-lasting
golden colour which provides distinctive highlights around the
building.
Although creating a random, abstract eel, arrangement o the
panels is based on a limited modular language with three panel
widths: 210 mm, 420 mm and 840 mm, and spacing between o:
105 mm, 210 mm and 420 mm. Panels are generally 2870 mm
high with some reduced to 1470 mm crowning the top o thebuilding and where the base o the cladding is raised up.

A Mosaic of ColourThe composition gives a mosaic o colour that sits in clearly de-
ned horizontal bands along the length o the building, breaking
up the subservient concrete rame - typical o multi-storey car
park buildings - and curtain walling. The eect is particularly
animated on the two long elevations, especially when viewed
rom moving trains or cars. In addition to the layering o ma-
terials, the colour choices are carried through in the design torepresent diering aspects o the location.
Project architect Antony Hall explained: The copper panels
to the North are predominantly in green shades and reer to the
modern aspect o the adjacent railway. The panels on the South
are predominantly in traditional brown copper shades to reer-
ence the brick heritage warehouses and other structures lining
the conservation area opposite across the busy road. Key view-
points ormed in locations around the building are highlighted
with the golden coloured copper alloy. Vertical circulation ele-
ments are also highlighted in the same manner. There is a de-
signed progression o copper colours running around the whole
building, beginning and ending at the West Elevation lit shat.We have also anticipated the natural changes to copper in the
environment.
Multi-storey car park architecture is generally constrained by
vehicle circulation and other technical demands, reducing it to
a utilitarian level. But the numerous permutations o suraces
and orms available with architectural copper today oer de-
signers exciting possibilities to treat bare acades as a blank
canvas. The Nottingham project is an inspiring example o this
approach.

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.

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

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 architectsJKMM explains his practices approach to design
ing a new addition to this hallowed Aalto Centre.

VARIED INTERESTING SHAPES
The new library stands separate rom Altos
original, although connected by an under-
ground link. Division o the building into
three sculptural units was an important de-
cision to be able to blend the large buildingvolume with the surrounding townscape.
This generates varied, interesting shapes
when viewed rom dierent directions. The
exposed boarded-ormwork concrete in-
teriors are punctuated by careully placed
windows and larger glazing oering con-
trolled views o the Centre. The view rom
the glazed wall in the main library hall is
dominated by the highlights o the area: the
bell tower or the Cross o the Plains Church
and the an-shaped acade o the original
Aalto Library. The heart o the building isthe wide staircase, intended or dierent
events and as an inormal meeting place,
which leads to the collection departments
on the ground foor and through the con-
necting underground corridor to the Aalto
Library.
LIVELY AND VIVID SURFACE
The external skin o the new library is
dominated by copper. The darkening pre-
oxidised copper sets the new library apartrom the whiteness o the surrounding
buildings. Copper is not a new material to
the area but in the Aalto Centre it is mainly
the roos that eature the materials beauti-
ully patinated green suraces. In the new
library, copper has been used comprehen-
sively across acades, plinth and roos
creating a single-material skin.
A special shape o copper shingle was spe-
cically designed or the acades to give the
building a highly individual, lively and vivid
surace. In some situations, the shingle
surace is ormed into ventilation slots to
accommodate air handling. Copper is also
used to orm vertical grilles and as a door
acing to maintain the material continuity.

A Visible BeaconTe entrance atrium orms the heart o the

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

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.
