    KobberdifferentieringDenne udgave samler en eklektisk blanding a nye bygninger, hvor kobber og kobberlegering spiller en central rolle i det arkitektoniskeudtryk. Den kan betragtes som en typologisk rundvisning, der a dk-ker en stigende diferentiering i brugen a materialet blandt designerea alle bygningstyper og nye teknikker.

    Op attelsen a kobber har ndret sig i takt med dens voksende rolle imoderne arkitektur, og den ndrer sig stadigvk. Kobber anvendes selv-

    lgelig stadig p de bygningstyper, som materialet har en historisk til-knytning til. Men o te er der en moderne vinkel p disse bygningstyper,som det .eks. kan ses i kapellet i slutningen a denne udgave (s. 36-38) en konisk tromle, der bryder igennem midten a den tilhrende skolemed inspiration ra bde kirkelige kupler og spir. Kobbertage er ogs envigtig bestanddel i vores rste projekt, et atrium til et stort kon erence-hotel (s. 4-7), som er ormet som en dekonstrueret guldlegeret stjerne, derdemonstrerer materialets muligheder or innovative og moderne ormerbde indvendig og udvendig.

    Kobbers unikke ud ormningsmuligheder l tes til et endnu hjere niveaumed de dramatiske kurver i et klubhus ved havet (s. 8-9), som blev mulig-gjort a computermodelteknikker, der giver mulighed or strre design ri-hed. I modstning hertil lger ormen unktionen p en redningsstation(s. 12-15), der er designet med henblik p det artj, den huser, og sombeskyttes a kobber mod de mest hrd re miljer dette design har vist

    sig kompetent til at blive gentaget andre steder. Miljbeskyttelse de nereogs bronze- og glasindhegningen a to oldgamle runesten (s. 28-29), memed enkel, skulpturel kvalitet.

    ydeligt de nerede ormer karakteriserer ogs Marlowe Teatre (s. 16-19 en typologi, som traditionelt er orbundet med kobber. Det samme kansiges om o entlige biblioteker, men i Seinjoki (s. 32-35) respekterer en na deling i Alvar Aalto-centeret dets ikoniske kontekst, men di erentiersig samtidig ved at have en kobberbelagt overfade. Et andet bibliotek Dept ord Lounge (s. 24-27) udvikler sig til en ny, ben kommunal bygning, hvilket kommer til udtryk i gennemsigtigheden a de guldlegered

    acader.

    Den typologiske variation i kobber udvides yderligere med en abstrakt behandling ved brug a fere materialetyper til at oplive acaden p et elletypisk parkeringshus (s. 20-23). Og en midlertidig bygning (s. 10-11) enanden type, som ikke s o te orbindes med kobber r srlig betydnimed en uldstndig belgning a guldlegering. il slut minder en melemstor tilbygning til et hus (s. 30-31) os om, at kobber ogs kan skabe enbestemt orm or kvalitet sammen med andre materialer.

    Kobberarkitektur er ortsat under udvikling drevet a arkitekter og derentusiasme omkring materialet og dets muligheder. Og med din hjlp vi vil ortsat vise de bedste eksempler her og p www.copperconcept.org

    Clarion Hotel i Trondheim er et a Skandinaviens s trste kongresho-teller og det strste i Norge. Arkitekterne bag designet, Space Group,

    anvendte en strategi, der bestod i at tilpasse unikke pladelignendevrelsesfje, s gsterne k et per ekt udsyn over havet, landska-bet og byen. Denne vridningsteknik bner det centrale atrium og ska-ber et tredimensionelt omrde med en kompleks, acetteret tag orm en dekonstrueret guldstjerne der strmmer nedad. Bygningen eret dramatisk syn ra alle vinkler, men isr ra oven, hvor ra de fes tegster ser den rste gang, nr de ankommer med fy.

    Den splintrende guldstjerne bryder igennemmellem hver blok og binder dem samme

    Hrdfre materialerDesignet udviser en hrd r anvendelsea materialer mellem de orskellige ele-menter. Den enorme, mrke kasse i ho-vedkon erencesalen str i dyb kontrasttil de glasdkkede vrelsesa snit medhvidt silketryk, der er oplst og derveddanner vinduer med en bld skylignendee ekt. Den splintrende guldstjerne bry-der igennem mellem hver blok og binderdem sammen. Den er ormet a en kob-belegereing med aluminium og zink.

    Projektarkitekt Jens Niehues sagde: I kobberlegering andt vi et materiale, der gav os mulighed or at skabe et designmed en levende overfade, der a spejler Stjernens naturlige unktion og giver

    en detaljeret, gylden nuance. Ud over at realisere vores konceptmssige ml-stninger skulle materialet naturligvisogs overholde vores tekniske ud or-dringer i orbindelse med det krvende klima p den norske vestkyst.

    Kobberlegeringen udvikler ikke en bleller grn patina med tiden, selv i dette hrde klima, men orbliver gylden. Ma-terialets karakteristika danner lodret-te, vandrette eller skr samlinger, der

    Hamilton Island Yacht Club and Villas p Whitsunday Is-lands, som er en del a Australiens Great Barr ier Ree ,er designet til at skabe en visuel e ekt ikke blot nrden ses ra land- eller vandsiden, men ogs ra lu ten, hvor-

    ra mange a gsterne ankommer. Arkitekterne orestilledesig en bygning, der kunne orbinde molen og a spejle de ma-ritime elementer og yachtkulturen. Designprocessen rte tilen kunstnerisk sammensmeltning a kobberbelagte ormer,der leder tankerne hen p vindblste sejl, spilere, kle og pvindenes, tidevandets og havstrmmenes hvirvlende kr ter.

    Yachtklubbens centrale kerne er et overdkket vind ang, el-ler piazza, der rer ind til de orskellige private og o entligerum. Med en gradvis ndring a lo tniveauet og en proces-sionsrampe res bygningen videre ud i en l tet plat orm, derhnger rit over vandet. Klubhuset indeholder aciliteter sombl.a. restauranter, barer, et auditorium, kon erencelokaler,

    trningscenter, banebassin, lserum og showroom. Den in-tegrerede bebyggelse byder ogs p 35 srskilte villaer.

    Komplekse kobberbelagte formerDet komplekse kronblads ormede tag p yachtklubben under-stttes a tr-sjler a stl, hvor grenene mder det kurvedetag i fere vinkler. Der blev udviklet et slyngvrk a stl, somkunne strkke sig over 16 meter og hnge rit i 11 metershjde og dermed over re sidebelastningen til midtervg-gene. Dette minimerede den strukturmssige dybde mellemtagbelgningen og lo terne som krvet a arkitekturen. Detsimpli cerede desuden opbygningen og tagkonstruktionen.Kobber blev valgt p grund a sin slidstyrke, sine visuelle ka-rakteristika og selv lgelig ogs sin unikke evne til at belggekomplekse tredimensionelle ormer.

    BIM (Building Information Modelling)BIM viste sig at vre a grende or det detaljerede design og

    selve konstruktionen a Hamilton Club isr kobbertagene.P grund a de komplekse ormer var der behov or utalligesektions- og detailtegninger or at vise, hvordan komponen-terne passede sammen. Der blev eksporteret data til andreinvolverede .eks. til den stlproducent, der arbejdede ud raden digitale model.

    Tilstedevrelsen a den komplette digitale model a byg-ningen p stedet betd, at byggeriarbejderne kunne setredimensionelle tegninger, mens bygningen tog orm. Der varogs tilgngelige snitbilleder a de orskellige komponenter,hvilket hjalp alle med at en orstelse a , hvordan bygnin-gen var konstrueret. Men BIM bestr a mere end blot CADog tredimensionelle modeltegninger, da det indeholder kom-ponenter og materieler med model-attributter som .eks.omkostninger, miljbevarende egenskaber og vedligeholdel-sesintervaller.

    Formlet med BIM er at skabe en komplet digital model til de-sign, remstilling, ud relse og bygnings orml med hjlp raalle interessenter. Dette hjlper arkitekterne med at skabe etmere bredygtigt, prcist design med rre ejl og mindrespild. Hvis man kan se en simuleret udgave a resultatet, rman ogs en bedre orstelse a omkostningerne, planlg-ningen og miljpvirkningen.

    Brugen a BIM ormodes at stige markant ved design a allebygningstyper. Det bner op or nye udtryks ormer blandt ar-kitekter og kobber er ideelt til at realisere innovativ t design.

    The new structure sits on the ootprinto the original building: well-positioned

    or li eboat launching in bad weatherbut also reducing the environmentalimpact o the scheme. At rst sight,the wave pro le o The Lizard li eboatstation appears symbolic o its coastalposition - but orm really does ollow

    unction and refects the arrangemento internal accommodation, ocused on

    the li eboat 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 li eboat.

    by Chris Hodson

    The new RNLI li eboat 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 speci c technical demands o the new RNLI ast slipway type li eboat 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 astrip o ribbon glazing or punched win-dows within the raked wall. The curveo the roo then encloses the minimumvolume required or the li eboat 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 roo ng was a logicalprogression rom the development o the dis-tinctive, wave-like, curved orm. PBWC projectarchitect Cian Spowart commented: A ter the Padstow project, we reviewed the roo ng ma-

    terial and system or The Lizard li eboat sta-tion. Here, copper was selected or its durabili-ty and capability o withstanding the aggressive c oastal environment, including the possibility o debris being thrown up rom the sea. In ad-dition, the aesthetic choice o copper over other metal roo ng was driven by its characteristic weathering over time to give a rich green patinacomplementing the aqua blue hues o the localcoastline.

    overhang also provides shelter to thesouth- acing oyer rom high angle solar

    gain and provides an architectural unity tothe composition. A new public square hasbeen 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 secondtallest structure in the city a ter BellHarry, the medieval Cathedrals principaltower. The new Marlowes fy tower is 9mtaller than its predecessor, allowing it tobe 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 historiccity whilst ensuring that Bell Harry re-tains its predominance. From the east, thefy tower dominates the street scene an-nouncing this major new cultural projectwithin 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 theFriars, up to the larger volumes o themain auditorium and fy tower beyond.Materiality is also determined to a largedegree contextually, in that it borrowsthe hues and tones o the Canterburytownscape. The reconstituted stone col-onnade takes its cue rom the whites andcreams o buildings in the city, whilst thepre-oxidised brown copper cladding ech-

    oes the colour and hues o the nearby tiledroo tops. Materials are used to createsomething highly contemporary, whilst atthe 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 thelarger volumes beyond. The studio theatreis raised 4 metres above the ground; a vol-ume wrapped entirely in copper. As such itis almost at roo level o the surroundingbuildings hence the relationship betweenthe reddish brown copper cladding withthe colouration o Canterburys roo scape.The underside o this volume orms theinternal so t 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 adjacentexternal terrace and the banks o the RiverStour.

    ANIMATINGTHE 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 tothe north and the busy Queens Road to the south with olderbuildings beyond. Architects Leeds Studio developed an originaldesign by another practice, BDP, ( ollowing a success ul bid byVINCI Construction UK) adding an array o horizontally bandedvertical copper panels to trans orm this typical parking building.The panels create an architectural language and are continuousover curtain walling as well as conventional open car parkingdecks, only being broken by the concrete li t core on the WestElevation.

    The palette o copper sur aces at Nottingham includes solidgreen pre-patinated copper and a variant with less intensepatination, 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-lastinggolden colour which provides distinctive highlights around thebuilding.

    Although creating a random, abstract eel, arrangement o thepanels is based on a limited modular language with three panelwidths: 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, breakingup the subservient concrete rame - typical o multi-storey carpark buildings - and curtain walling. The e ect is particularlyanimated 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 di ering aspects o the location.Project architect Antony Hall explained: The copper panels

    to the North are predominantly in green shades and re er to the modern aspect o the adjacent railway. The panels on the Southare predominantly in traditional brown copper shades to re er-ence the brick heritage warehouses and other structures liningthe 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 li t sha t.We have also anticipated the natural changes to copper in the environment.

    Multi-storey car park architecture is generally constrained byvehicle circulation and other technical demands, reducing it toa utilitarian level. But the numerous permutations of surfacesand forms available with architectural copper today offer de-signers exciting possibilities to treat bare facades as a blankcanvas. The Nottingham project is an inspiring example of thisapproach.

    INTERVIEW

    CH: How did your selection o the golden cop-

    per alloy come about and did you look at other materials?

    HK-B: We wanted a material that relatedstrongly to the conceptual meaning o theDept ord Lounge on a series o levels. It wasto be seen as a landmark a civic ocus orall ages and cultures. Initially timber cladding was considered, relating to Dept ords nauticalpast but timber requires maintenance. Wealso sought an inspiring material, with re ec-tive properties that would give the building a jewel-like quality set against its main streetcontext. Tis meant considering various met-als including copper. It also led to the idea o expanded metal meshes or per orated sheets. We elt that the per orated golden copper al-loy cladding o ered multiple meanings on a conceptual level. Te gold sur ace symboliseswealth across all cultures, welcoming andbringing together a diverse community intoa building that o ers a wealth o knowledgeand 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 li espan. Te weathering characteristicso this copper alloy are important: the mate-rial is virtually maintenance ree and providesa sur ace that will change very little over time, which means it wi ll retain its crisp jewel likequality.

    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 uni y the buildings complex range o

    unctions, binding them together.Contextually, it relates to various points o Dept ords 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 andre erences. From a distance the golden ormappears solid but close-up reveals itsel astransparent and light-weight, oating aboveits glazed base. On a unctional level, the wrapping provides solar shading to the largeareas o glazing, while also allowing suitablelevels 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 cassettesthat provide sharp and clean joints betweenpanels, rather than something that wouldbuckle and distort. Te nautical re erences

    continue with the setting-out o the panelsin a stretcher bond pattern like historic tim-ber hull construction in ship-building. Teper orations are kept back rom the edges tohelp express each panel individually whileretaining rigidity. We explored various per o-ration shapes, rom square to raised diamondpatterned with a cheese grater appearance,

    and settled on simple circular holes, again ar

    ranged in a stretcher bond pattern. Di erentlevels o per oration were also considered,the transparency o the wrapping adds another dimension with the play o light. Te build-ing responds to its uses and environment,continually changing with light conditionsthroughout the day and into the evening, be-coming more or less revealing suggestindiscovery. Te level o transparency increase with distance away rom the solid ships bowcorner, with its large symbolic window, gradually blurring solid and void.

    CH: How was the light, foating eel o the piecopper alloy skin achieved in structural terms

    HK-B: Initially, the cladding was to be suspended on rods rom a ring beam. But due tothe buildings subtle shi ts o orm both the vertical and horizontal planes additionalsupport was required, depending on locationaround the building. Te solution was to xsteel brackets back to the main building struc-ture at the top and bottom o the wall. Tesethen support a rame and suspension rods, to which the copper al loy panels were xed. Additional structure and stays were incorporated where the golden wrapping pulled urtheaway rom the building, reducing movemen

    rom wind loading. Te transparency o thepanels also o ered urther opportunities texpress the structure behind with honesty.

    Chris Hodson discusses the transparency and materiality o the Dept ord Lounge acadeswith Hamish Kil ord-Brown, Project Architect at Pollard Thomas Edwards architects.

    We were appointed to care ully restore elements o the existing architecture creating a contemporary yet sensitive addition tothe rear. o the ront o the property the new addition appears asa simple copper box peeping above the layers o existing greenglazed tiles o the existing home.

    In the re urbishment, living and entertaining space is providedat 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 shi ted geometry toacknowledge the existing building orm, this creates a series o overhangs, cantilevers and canopies to shelter its occupants romthe persistent Welsh rain.

    Copper over timeTis thoroughly modern addition to an existing home inCardif, South Wales discussed by Kristian Hyde o Hyde+ Hyde Architects combines copper with oak and glass inits care ully conceived design to anticipate change.

    Te original house is quirky but beauti ul. Te unknown ar-chitect has put a great deal o e ort into the detailing, someo which is very play ul. Tere is a certain humour about someo 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 othe main house. Tis is introduced to turn the new additioninto the main private garden at the rear.

    Copper was chosen as a suitable material or acades and otherdetails to converse with the existing green glazed roo tiles othe existing dwelling. A ter a decade it will begin to relate incolour and tone to the existing tiles nearby, its salmon pink andrusset brown tones will be gone orever.

    The Centre displays Aaltos master ul touch, rangingrom the areas town planning to the smallest door

    detail and is an invaluable cultural asset which givesthe whole town its identity. Five Aalto buildings makeup the Centre: the City Hall, State O ce Building,Theatre, the Cross o the Plains Church and the OldLibrary.

    DIALOGUE BETWEEN OLD AND NEWBuilt 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 inter ace with the typical characteristics oAlvar Aaltos architecture without imitating it.

    The Finnish town o Seinjoki hosts the mostextensive cluster o buildings designed by AlvarAalto in the world. Asmo Jaaksi o architectsJKMMexplains his practices approach to design-ing a new addition to this hallowed Aalto Centre.

    VARIED INTERESTING SHAPESThe 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 di erent directions. Theexposed boarded- ormwork concrete in-teriors are punctuated by care ully placedwindows and larger glazing o ering 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 di erentevents and as an in ormal meeting place,which leads to the collection departmentson the ground foor and through the con-necting underground corridor to the AaltoLibrary.

    LIVELY AND VIVID SURFACEThe 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 roo s that eature the materials beauti-

    ully patinated green sur aces. In the newlibrary, copper has been used comprehen-sively across acades, plinth and roo s creating a single-material skin.

    A special shape o copper shingle was spe-ci cally designed or the acades to give thebuilding a highly individual, lively and vividsur ace. In some situations, the shinglesur ace is ormed into ventilation slots toaccommodate air handling. Copper is alsoused to orm vertical grilles and as a door

    acing to maintain the material continuity.

    Covering the Cone with Copper A key element o the concept was or thechapel to appear monolithic both with-in the space and externally as it reachedthrough the atrium roo . Te originalproposal was or timber cladding, but thedesign 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 andsection. Te cladding o the chapel wasundertaken with real cra tsmanship by NDM, the copper shingles gradually re-ducing in size to accommodate the conicalshape. Te orm was computer modelled,as the size o each row o shingles had tobe calculated to suit the diminishing diam-

    eter.
