ROZHOVORChris Hodson hovo s profesorem Mag-
nusem Mnssonem, majitelem architek-
tonickho studia Semrn & Mnsson, o
hotelu Post Clarion.
CH: Jak jste se k projektu Hotel Post dostali?
MM: Na poadavek stavebnho investora jsemzde v Gteborgu, v blzkosti hlavnho vlako-vho ndra, hledal pozemek pro velk hotel.Navrhoval jsem u jin hotel a zaujala mneanatomie stavebn typologie. Budova potov-nho adu byla na konci 80. let pemnnana administrativn budovu, ale kdy jsem sena ni podval, pomyslel jsem si: to nen kance-l, to je hotel - u jen rozmstnm oken. In-vestor souhlasil s mm nvrhem na velkolepprojekt, kombinujc star s novm - a to byloped 8 lety.
CH: Jak jste mli problmy, pi prci na ta-
kov prominentn, chrnn budov?
MM: Byl to samozejm pedevm boj s rz-nmi ady. Budova je chrnna nejvymstupnm ochrany vdska a my jsme jednalinejen s mstnmi orgny, ale tak s nrodn or-ganizac ve Stockholmu, byl to opravdu boj.Vlastn nebylo mon zmnit nic na exteriru,to bylo jednm z vchozch bod.
CH: Akoli mte ti dal kancele, vae z-kladna je v Gteborgu. Pistupujete k pro-
jektu pr krok od vaich dve jinak, ne pi
prci jinde?
MM: Doufm, e ne. Ale je pravda, e kolemtto budovy kadodenn prochzm cestou zmho domova, je opravdu blzko.
CH: Z urbanistickho hlediska, vidte Post
Hotel jako nositele vznamn veejn role?
MM: Ano, je tomu tak. Kdy vdsk vldapotovn ad postavila, zabrala tm ve sku-tenosti dva bloky, co ale znamenalo omezen
ulinho prchodu. Zastavila se tak pirozenexpanze msta smrem na vchod, zstala jenzk run ulice s tramvajemi, namakanmivedle budovy. Nov mdn a bidlicov vtak pi pohledu od starho centra oznaujenov msto na vchod. Ale bude tak pso-bit jako kontaktn bod, uzavrajc bulvr kvchodu a nov, v souasn dob plnovannmst vpedu.
CH: Je v pru v z mdi a bidlice njak
symbolismus?
MM: o ani ne. Pvodn koncept nvrhupedpokldal vy v, kter byla mstnmadem snena. A tehdy jsem piel s npa-dem postavit ji ze dvou materil, aby zskalalep proporce. A rozdly v naem pstupu kobma materilm jsou vyjden menmpotem oken mench rozmr, kter bidli-cov vi dvaj dojem monolitu. Mdn vpsob pocitov jako z mnohem tenho ma-terilu. Je zde spousta malch symbol, kternapomhaj v interpretaci rozdl.
CH: Byly tam i jin dvody pro pouit mdia bidlice, ne jen odkaz na stechu pvodn
budovy?
MM: V roce 1920 bylo vechno velmi lokln,ale bylo to velmi pirozen a my jsme byli hrd,e jsme mli materily jako m. Chtli jsmetoto ddictv rozvinout jazykem materil,kter nov sti zvrazn, ale zachovaj konti-nuitu stavby. Vidm novou budovu jako mla-dou pbuznou, se shodnou DNA. M protobyla pro n skvl design velmi dleit.
CH: M jste pouili v rznch kch p
a intenzitch patinovn. Co jste tmto pstupem sledovali?
MM: Ano, jsem velmi poten vsledkebyl to asn zpsob, jak mdn povrcrealizovat. Vlastn z rozmr ezan bidlivyplynul podobn pstup ke strukturovmdnch ps, aby podobn struktura a hrizontlnost zrcadlila tradin zdiva, nachz

A Platformfor Arts & Creativity
A thoroughly contemporary intervention is at the heart
of the regeneration of the ancient centre of Guimares,
one of Portugals most important historical cities and a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Locally based architects
Pitgoras discuss their vision and the key role played
by brass profile facades in its realisation.
The buildings that make up the municipal market and the
space contained by them commonly referred to as the
square together form the urban character of the city of
Guimares. Before being relocated, the old municipal market
enjoyed a privileged and very central location with excel-
lent access, very close to the Toural Square and the historic
centre.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACE
Now, the transformation of the marketplace into a multi-
functional space dedicated to artistic, economic, cultural and
social activities appropriate to the citys European Capital of
Culture 2012 status, has reintegrated the area into the urban
fabric, so recovering a key area of the city. In addition, the
project extended out to adjacent building plots, enabling the
regeneration of the interior space of the block previously a
characterless area used for marble processing.
The program provided a clear concept and defined theobjectives to be achieved, listing a series of activ ities and
spaces which defined the functions of both new and existing
buildings, as well as the adjacent plots of land. Three major
program areas were identified:

The program also sought to recover the existing building on
the eastern side by trying to promote the installation of ad-
ditional multidisciplinary commercial activities. The whole
structure, according to the program, would complement
existing facilities in the city, as well as those under develop-
ment as part of the European Capital of Culture.
When interpreting the program, we aimed to allow for the
possibility of each one of its components functioning inde-
pendently and simultaneously, by creating accesses to each
of the various services and support areas, as well as to the
outdoor square and garden.
We opted for a methodology of intervention that involved
the rehabilitation of the existing building to the east
keeping the materials and textures but redoing the entire
interior at level 0. With the north building, the faade
towards the Avenue which characterises the build-
ing was renovated but its interior and faade facing the
square were the subject of almost complete demolition
and redesign. Although it was intended to maintain the
scale and the existing formal relations, we proposed a
new solution for the building that promotes a strong rela-tionship with the square and emphasises the relationship
of this structure with the outer space.

The new building takes a radically different approach to its
surroundings, both from the standpoint of architectural
language and image: discrete, repetitive, as well as by the
succession of volumes, with full and empty, marked by the
juxtaposition of contrasting sur faces. The external coverings
a grid of brass profiles and tinted glazing over ventilated fa-ades accentuate a range of textures changing from dense
and opaque on the majority of surfaces, to transparent when
partially concealing the buildings few openings.
This series of dissonant elements resulted from the need to
create a variety of different spaces in the exhibition area.
It creates a tension manifested in the volumes of the building
and the relationship with the space of the square, making it
the main feature of its design.
For the square, we formulated a design significantly more
clinical, using large concrete slabs which act as a counterpart
to the surrounding buildings. It is conceived as a large mul-
tifunctional meeting area and obviously a public space by
its very nature. It will remain intentionally sparsely equipped,
with large trees to the east preserved and planting introduced
along the north building, but leaving most of the space free
for spontaneous or organised activities on the Plat form.

A TRANQUIL
BACKDROPIN BRASS
The architects choice of brass for the facades
of the new building was informed by the mate-
rials ancient heritage, sustainability credentials
and ability to deliver a cost-effective solution to
the complexities of the program. Brass profiles,
in conjunction with exposed glazed areas, ef-
fectively dematerialise the massive geometric
forms of the new building which is 150 m long
and stands 8 m high softening its relationship
to the public square.
The consistent grid, made up of 20 x 10 mmrectangular brass profiled sections, matches
the scale and proportions of the surrounding
buildings without overwhelming them. Despite
the regularity of the brass grid, it provides a
tranquil backdrop to the square, constantly
changing with the light then transforming
from opaque to transparent at night.

In the summer of 2006 Maidstone Borough Council
launched an exciting and ambitious scheme to open
up Maidstone Museums collections and transform
its services and facilities for visitors. The East Wing
project forms the second phase of the Museums re-
development programme, following the renovation of
the West Wing in 2003. The Museums core is a Tudor
manor house dating from 1561. It was acquired by
Maidstone Borough Council in 1855 and opened as
a Museum in 1858. The Museum is a Grade II* listed
building protected by law.
BdgZEjWa^X>ckdakZbZciThe collections of over 600,000 artefacts and speci-
mens are outstanding in their diversity and quality,
forming the largest mixed collections in Kent and one
of the largest in the South-East of England. Some
elements such as the Japanese Art Collection are of
international significance. The East Wing projects
key aims were the long-term preservation of the col-
lections, more public involvement and increased use
of the Museum and its collections.
The new interventions allow greater public visibility
of the collections and also the Museums historic
buildings. There is now a visual reconnection to
Brenchley Gardens, as originally intended by the
Museums Victorian founders, and better views of the
Museum from the town centre. Public facilities, ease
of visitor flow through the building and accessibility
for all have also been substantially improved.
Hugh Broughton Architects explain the project for
the upgrade of Maidstone Museum, a protected
historic building in the South-East of England,
dating back as far as the time of King Henry VIII.Their thoroughly contemporary design involves
crisply detailed golden copper alloy and glass
rectilinear forms, interweaving amongst ancient
buildings to create new vistas from both inside
and out.

L^cc^c\9Zh^\cOur competition-winning design is a direct response to
these key objectives. At the lower levels of the revitalised
East Wing, a new entrance and orientation area face
Maidstones High Street and welcome visitors. A gallery
created between an improved shop and the refurbished
stores provides a home for a Solomon Islands War Canoe
the only example of its kind outside the Islands. Views
from this gallery reveal a public courtyard and Tudor
faades unseen by the public for over 40 years.
A young learners education room is complemented
at first floor level by a glazed meeting room, creating
dramatic views of St. Faiths Church and visually re-con-
necting the museum with Brenchley Gardens. A dynamic
new gallery space above the reception, lit by curvaceous,
north facing rooflights, provides a permanent home
for the collection of Japanese Art. The extensions were
complemented by refurbishment and reorganisation of
the existing galleries at the east end of the Museum,
increasing display space by 30 %.
New elevations combine frameless glazing with a diagrid
of golden copper alloy shingles, creating a contemporary
counterpoise to the existing brick faades. Over time the
shingles may loose their shine but not their beauty.

CONTEXT
CH: How did you come to design the new
university building and what are the contex-tual impacts of its surroundings?
EK: Te Linguistic department buildingresulted from a competition in 2006, whichour office won. Te new building is locatedin Powisle Plnocne Warsaws Latin Quar-ter and home to the University of Warsawand the Academy of Fine Arts. Te area sitsat a lower level than the main University and
Academy buildings and the Old own: thispicturesque topography played an importantpart in our design strategy. Immediatelyadjacent is the copper-clad University Library(opened in 1999) which also influenced thenew building particularly its materiality.
CH: What was the strategy behind your
design and the different faade treatments in
particular?
EK: Our project was considered as a sort ofa promenade, linking the higher Universitycampus to the Library. Along this promenadewe situated all reading rooms demanded bythe programme of different faculties belong-ing to the Linguistic Department. In order
to connect the two new buildings we used aglass wall a long Dobra Street which reflectsthe rich copper facade of the Library with its
engravings and texts in different languages.Te 140 m long southern wall along LipowaStreet aims to give readers the impression ofbeing in a garden space where light flickersthrough green leaves, creating a special, col-oured light inside a sunny environment,despite gloomy weather outside.Tis is achieved using yellow, green and limefoils on the double- skin glazed southernfacade.
CH: What are the reasons for the variety of
treatments and materials on the facades?
EK: Te whole project is in two phases andthe now-completed first phase represents onlya third of the whole complex. So the impres-sion given by some facades is temporary.
When complete, the whole building will readas having two wall finishes essentially, glassand copper.
CH: Why did you choose pre-patinated copper?

But, of course, the green mood ofnew architecture was previously introducedby the Library building. Although continu-ing down this line of thought, we choose adifferent finish for the copper pre-patinatedwith a living surface colour to differentiateour building from the Library. But we alsowanted to show the variety of copper finisheswhich are possible.
Copper is a living material, like nature. Itsappearance changes over the years, with theweather, at different times of the day and indifferent lighting conditions. Tis is demon-
strated on the Wislana Street faade which ismostly copper, including service door facings.
Also on this facade, the idea of introducingyellow patches amongst the copper was toenliven it with artificial sun-beams.

SEAMLESS ARTICULATION
The Hive, Worcesters recently opened Library and HistoryCentre certainly has a striking presence. A beacon for learn-
ing, it is a key part of Worcesters river frontage, highly visible
from the rising ground to the south and west. The articulation
of its unique external form resonates with the scale and grain
of the setting: the roofline echoes the profile of the Malvern
Hills visible to the west, and recalls the Royal Worcester kilns
which, with the Cathedral, once dominated the citys skyline.
The iconic funnels are as fundamental to the interior of the
building as they are to its external appearance, providing
natural light and ventilation to the heart of the floor plates.
The Hive evolved from a groundbreaking partnership to create
a fully integrated public and university library, which is com-
pletely new to the UK and highly innovative internationally.
The building also includes the county archives and record
office, a local history centre, the countys archaeology service
and a multi-agency customer service centre. The Hive is a
cultural, learning and information centre of excellence
promoting lifelong learning, engendering social inclusion
and raising aspirations in the broadest sense for the whole
community, regardless of age, background, or ability.

The cladding of golden copper alloy shingles reflects the rich
palette of colours and materials which characterise the city
centre - the red and gold of brick, terracotta and stone embel-
lished with gilded filigree and finely decorated encaustic tiles.
The elevational language of solid walls and punched openings
also draws on the local vernacular: solid and void are balanced
to optimise light, air and view, with care to avoid overheating
and glare, and the need for excessive mechanical systems to
maintain a comfortable environment.
The articulation of the roof form as a ser ies of irregular cones
is designed to reduce the scale of this significant new public
building to better relate to the fine grain of the historic city.
The distinctive roof cones are formed in solid laminated timber
panels that span between the eaves beam and a timber ring
beam at the top of each cone. The plinth, which varies in height
around the perimeter, is clad in Forest of Dean Pennant stone
to match the paving to the public realm: the ochre streaks echo
the golden cladding.

Articulation of the metal fabric was developed in the
detailing of the material at corners, eaves and windowcills. A critical part of the material expression was to
ensure that it appeared seamless and that cover pieces
or horizontal elements of gold that might break up the
shingle pattern were avoided. The design team were
aided by the excellent copper installers who mocked-
up a number of the key detail junctions (some shown
here) for discussion and exploration ahead of the start
of their site works.
As the installations progressed to site, the installers
identified potential difficulties with particular gutter
junctions early enough for the design team to discuss
practical solutions on site. These conversations were
supported by sketches and formal drawings, and test-
ing where necessary. The quality of the copper alloy
skin, as part of the overall finished building, is evidence
of how well the design and installation team worked
together.
At nearly 12,000 m2 it would be easy for the sheer
volume of such a striking material to be the defining
characteristic but, by developing the details together
with a dedicated and skilled installer, the cladding
becomes more than simply distinctive. Instead, the
prominence of the material is embellished and refined:
the subtleties of the golden cloak demonstrated in its
careful stitching together.

SOLAR WAVESOne of Londons best-known public sector schools has been completely redeveloped with
a single, state of the art building replacing a sprawling campus. The competition-winning
design takes an innovative, highly architectural approach to controlling and optimising
sunlight with its brise soleil arrangement of copper, brass and bronze fins.
Opened in 1958, Holland Park School became the flagship for
comprehensive education in England, known as the social-
ist Eton due to its impressive reputation. But by 2004, when
an architectural competition for redevelopment was insti-
gated, the schools existing buildings were beyond economic
repair and failed to meet modern demands, with inflexible
accommodation and tortuous circulation. The greatest chal-
lenge for architects Aedas was to design a new building to be
built on the original site while the existing school remained in
operation and that allowed part of the site to be sold to fund
the construction but also left more usable external space
than before.
Two Halves United
The result is a new block, approximately 100 m long and
30 m wide. A large, 7 m deep basement extends across the
entire building footprint to a depth of 7 m, accommodating the
sports hall and swimming pool as well as kitchen and dining
areas. The above-ground, five storey parts are conceived
as two distinct halves united by a central atrium stretching
its full length and linked by a series of walkways. The east
half contains the more conventional teaching spaces and
is constructed using in-situ concrete columns and flat slab
construction. The west half is a more dramatic, steel A-frame
structure enabling the larger teaching and assembly rooms.
This structure then straddles the larger spaces within the
basement to create clear-span spaces.
Maximising natural lighting deep into the building with exten-
sive glazing, while controlling glare and solar gain, proved
central to the architects strategy for design of the facades.
But reducing visual impact of the long block on its sensitive
surroundings close to Holland Park and with mature trees
on site was also important. The east elevation is finished
with a gently undulating stainless steel mesh, passing over
a central copper canopy signalling the main entrance.

In contrast, the west facade is defined by a series of vertical
fins in pre-oxidised copper, brass and bronze which take on a
strong, dynamic three-dimensional character. The architect
for the project, Peter Runacres, explains the development of
their design: Due to the buildings orientation, this eleva-
tion receives more solar gain than the east side and vertical
fins are more effective in controlling glare while maximising
daylight. The initial design had an arrangement of broken up,
smaller fins but solar gain computer modelling revealed that
more were needed.
We then experimented using a physical model and found that
this arrangement created too much visual mass so, instead,

settled on full-height fins set at three - apparently random
spacings, continuing over the roof. A soft, sine curve was
developed for the fin profiles, which gives an organic feel
reflecting the mature trees both on the site and facing this fa-ade from the adjacent Holland Park. We selected the mix of
copper and its alloys to give a natural richness, with timeless
yet contemporary qualities, as well as to deliver longevity and
minimal maintenance.
The copper and copper alloy clad fins are thin in section,
minimising the impact on views from inside the building. But
their depth acts as an effective barrier to glare and unwanted
solar gain from afternoon sunshine. Viewed from an angle,
the fins come together to generate a stunning effect of dy-
namic sinuous forms across the faade.

Improving the environmental
performance of products for
consumers and the building
construction sector is important
to the copper industry. EU initi-
atives, such as the Sustainable
Consumption and Production
action plan, emphasise greater
resource efficiency and the
commercialisation of environ-
mentally friendly products. Thecopper industry is at the fore-
front of industries committed
to reducing the environmental
impact of its operations. Today,
one third of the energy consump-
tion of modern European copper
manufacturing is used to operate envi-
ronmental protection measures.
Recently, the copper industry has de-
veloped an environmental profile which
covers around 90% of the EUs produc-
tion of both copper metal and copper
products. A critical review by externalexperts has confirmed the high qual-
ity, consistency and correctness of the
results. Based on ISO 14040/44, all as-
pects of ore extraction, the production
of other raw materials, energy supply
and the production of the metal itself
are detailed. As such, it captures the full
impact of the so-called cradle-to-gate
approach and shows where the greatest
environmental impacts occur and where
improvement actions would deliver the
most benefits.
Whilst this profile is based on a cra-
dle to-gate assessment, many of the
benefits to society derived from copper
will be found during the downstream
use phase. The copper industry pro-
vides support to those wishing to use
the LCI data in their own Life Cycle As-
sessments including the use phase and
end-of-life phases.
Only about 20% of the total impact aris-
es from EU copper production sites,
influenced mainly by technology, lo-
cal authority permit requirements, the
source of energy supplying the produc-
tion site and a companys own standards.
Geologically, copper is associated with
other valuable metals, such as molybde-num, silver and gold. Since their natural
concentrations are much lower, the ore
needs careful treatment. Modern mining
techniques require less energy than in
the past, making the recovery of small
amounts of metal possible.
Copper Construction Products inGreen Building Rating SchemesIn the last few years, sustainable archi-
tecture has evolved from an add-on to an
expectation and societys understand-
ing of what a sustainable building is hasbecome more complex. Sustainable
building rating systems have responded
to this shift by expanding their focus
from operational impacts towards a
more holistic life cycle approach.
To date, various green building rating
schemes exist. They differ in their ap-
proach to considering building product
sustainability in the context of
the whole building. LCAs are
provided by the copper industry
to represent the ecological per-
formance of copper products
(e.g. sheets, tubes and wire of
copper) in a transparent way.
Moreover, the copper industry
has developed Environmental
Product Declarations (EPD)
based on LCAs for commu-nicating reliable quantitative
environmental data for prod-
ucts based upon independently
verified calculations.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) inBuilding Rating SchemesThe BRE Green Guide to Specification is
a useful starting point for assessing the
sustainability of architectural materials
and provides independent endorsement
of the low environmental impact of both
copper roofing and cladding. It rates awide range of complete building elements
from A+ to E, using LCA techniques.
Ratings form an important part of the
Code for Sustainable Homes and other
assessment tools such as BREEAM.
Various complete wall or roof build-ups
are considered, each including materials
for structure, insulation, moisture con-
trol and finishes. All the copper-finished
roofs and most copper wall cladding
specifications included achieved A+ or
A summary ratings. Even the few build-
ups with lower ratings could be improvedeasily with replacement components,
without affecting the copper skin itself.
Coppers longevity is a major strength,
resulting from its complex patination
process that ensures extreme durabil-
ity with no maintenance and resistance
to corrosion in virtually any atmospheric
conditions.

But despite these high summary ratings,
coppers life-span is one aspect that the
Green Guide simply underestimates. It
includes unexpectedly low replacement
intervals for copper cladding and roof-
ing generally just 45 years that are
not justified either by experience or by
science. Many historic copper roofs have
survived for hundreds of years and some
are known to have performed well for
over 700 years.
Below are some examples of gaining
credits in green building rating schemes,
but there are many more opportunities
to use copper to gain credits in building
rating schemes not least in plumbing, re-
newables, heating and cooling.
The UKs Environmental AssessmentMethod for Buildings (BREEAM 2011)Credits are available for using specifi-
cations for key building elements (e.g.
external walls and roofs) with low embod-
ied environmental impact as measured
by the Green Guide to Specification.
Copper product manufacturers proving
that their product is better than the aver-
age in terms of embodied impact of the
60 year study period, because of reduced
impact in manufacture, reduced mate-rial or increased durability can obtain
product specific Green Guide ratings by
undertaking certification to BRE Globals
Environmental Profiles Scheme.
For the responsible sourcing of ma-
terials, credits can be achieved when
construction materials at least 80 % of
materials used - are responsibly sourced.
Points are awarded depending on the type
of certification available for the materials
used in each building element.
The USs Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design (LEED)This system developed by the US Green
Building Council addresses: Sustain-
able Sites; Water Efficiency; Energy &
Atmosphere; Material & Resources; In-door Environmental Quality and
Innovation & Design. Life-cycle
is not part of the current version
(LEED 2009) but it will be incor-
porated into the next one (LEED
V4) that will assess the buildings
life cycle impact reduction. LEED
categories where copper can
contribute include:
MR Credit 1 Building reuse:
credits can be achieved if build-
ing products can be reusedduring renovations, which is usu-
ally possible due to the durability
of copper.
MR Credit 2 Diversion from
landfill: credits apply to end of
life of the building and its materials. Since
it encourages the recycling of products
instead of their disposal, credits can be
achieved if materials such as copper are
used in buildings which have a high value
as secondary materials and high recy-
cling rates.
MR Credit 4 Recycling content: creditsare given if the recycled content of used
materials in the construction is high. Usu-
ally, this is the case for copper products.
MR Credit 5 Regional materials: i.e.
extracted, processed and manufactured
regionally. If copper products from re-
gional processing or manufacturing sites
are used in buildings, additional credits
can be achieved.
SS Credit 7 Heat island effect: credits
are awarded depending on the Solar Re-
flection Index (SRI) of the roof, walls andsite paving area. If copper is used as a roof
or cladding, manufacturers can provide
an initial SRI and one 3 years after instal-
lation.
The German Sustainable BuildingCouncil (DGNB)This rating scheme addresses the three
pillars of sustainability. It doesnt as-
sess individual measures, but the overall
performance of buildings and an LCA ca
culation are mandatory.
ECO1.1 Life cycle costs (LCC): the manu
facturing costs of faade and roof hav
to be considered. No maintenance cost
during use phase. Please note, the end o
life scenario is not part of the LCC calcu
lation.
SOC1.6 Exterior quality: this criterio
evaluates the design of outdoor areas.
The goal of the criterion is to maximiz
the roof area by integration of technica
structures in the building and reductio
of fascia/parapets. Special outdoor area
(balcony, loggia, terraces, etc.) gain morpoints in this criterion.
TEC1.6 Ease of dismantling and recycling
copper is a non-toxic, recyclable mate
rial, which is a requirement for a goo
evaluation of this criterion. The effort o
dismantling and sorting is low and th
value is high, which helps ensure the re
use of copper metal at the end of its life.

COPPER TAKES CONTROL
The Prfecture du Rhne building designed
by architects GARBIT & BLONDEAU is the
administrative centre for the Rhne depart-
ment, demanding a strong public presence. It
replaces a previous building on a corner plot
in the central Third Arrondissement of Lyon,
the departments capital city. Its plan-form is
straightforward with six storeys plus a set-
back penthouse and external roof areas, and
a 2-storey basement.
Copper Clad Volumes
The two main facades are articulated as
distinct, copper-clad volumes aligning with
the typical Mansard-roofed blocks either
side. The volumes are separated on the west
front by an inset cloak of suspended stainless
steel mesh reaching up to the penthouse and
signaling the buildings entrance. Copper was
the architects first choice and its sustainable
credentials a consideration. Opaque cladding
is generally pre-oxidised copper, selected for
its more regular brown shade than mill finish
material.
The defining external features of the new
building are vertical shutters clad in perfo-
rated, pre-oxidised copper. In conjunction
This new, civic building in the southern French city of Lyon is characterisedby rotating copper brise soleil shutters within its deep facades, controlling
solar gain and optimising natural lighting.
with the suspended stainless steel mesh
screens at street level, the perforated cop-
per gives transparency but the motorised,
pivoting shutter arrangement also animates
the facades. This brise soleil arrangement
allows direct response to external condi-
tions, controlling solar gain and glare, whilst
maximizing potential for daylighting deep
into the building. This strategy is thoroughly
