CASE STUDIES

Ken TTDI is one of the most cutting edge mixed use developments in Asia and sets the benchmark for 24-hour sustainable commercial communities. This is amplified by the inclusion of skycourts and skygardens that step up and through the building, which encourage the health and well being of the individual. The green vertical landscape envelope seeks to act as a second skin that counteracts glare, solar heat gain and improves thermal performance.

CASE STUDIES

Set in the Shilin District of Taipei, Taiwan and scheduled for completion in 2015, OMA’s design for the Taipei Performing Arts Center consists of three theaters with a total of 3,100 seats. The theatres plug into a central cube, which consolidates the stages, backstages and support spaces into a single and efficient whole. The individual auditoria protrude outward from the cube and float above this dense and vibrant part of the city. While each theater can function independently, this unique arrangement also allows stages to be merged, effectively combining the theaters for unsuspected uses and scenarios.

The building envelope consists of two primary materials: corrugated glass wrapping the cube and aluminum cladding for each of three auditoria.

The cube contains a range of different spaces with different characteristics and requirements: the stages, backstages, offices, rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, storage, and other support programs. In typical theater design, these spaces are often fully concealed or hidden behind an opaque façade, reinforcing the misconception of the theater as an inaccessible monument. In order to avoid this scenario and create a relationship between the inner workings of the theater and the city, the design team chose to use corrugated glass to create the building envelope.

The corrugated glass reveals the perimeter mega-structure of the cube and its packing of different internal volumes and activities. At same time these elements are revealed, they are also concealed through the diffraction of light by the corrugated glass, creating an image of fragmentation and multiplication of what is behind. The glass itself consists of two layers of annealed, low-iron panes, laminated together with a slightly grey intermediate film for solar shading and energy control. Corrugated glass was chosen not only because of its optical properties, but also because of its inherent structural stiffness in resisting the forces of Taipei’s environment, including seismic and typhoon lateral loads. As such, individual panes of corrugated glass span 5m between a series of layers of horizontal shelves that striate the perimeter of the cube.

While the cube is illuminated and animated, the auditoria projecting from it are intended to read like dark, opaque, and mysterious elements. These auditoria have their focus on the interior space and performance. Bare, large-format aluminum cladding was chosen and applied. The marine-grade aluminum alloy is not coated or anodized, but

Taipei Performing Arts Centre, Taiwan

mechanically finished to maintain a matte expression of the material itself.

The large format of aluminum enhances the mysterious and volumetric reading of the floating auditoria, while more conventional, intermediate joints would otherwise lend scale and legibility. On two of the three auditoria, the Grand Theater and Multiform Theater, the aluminum panels are dimensioned up to 10m x 1.5m, in a vertical orientation, to contrast with the horizontal orientation of the cube shelves. In the middle, the Proscenium Playhouse has triangular panels up to 19m x 14m x 11m. These dimensions exceed current manufacturing and transport capabilities, so individual pieces will be welded together on-site to create the large panels. As the geometry of the Proscenium Playhouse is also semi-ellipsoid and double-curved, ship-building technology will be utilized for the precision cut of the cold-form panels.

Cumulatively, the different materials of the TPAC envelope reinforce the overall relationship of parts. The corrugated glass cube and aluminum auditoria also achieve a reversal implicit in the initial diagram of the design: that the working infrastructure of the theater takes a central position and exhibits transparency in relation to the city, inviting the public to participate in its machine-like aura.

CASE STUDIES

What initially began as a speculative proposal for a bold re-shaping of the UTS tower on Broadway has evolved as a broader architectural system for re-purposing inefficient and outdated buildings without the need to demolish and rebuild. LAVA has developed a simple, cost effective and easily constructed building skin that can transform the identity, sustainability and interior comfort of an existing structure such as the UTS tower.

The ‘skin’ is a translucent cocoon that can create its own ‘micro climate’. It can generate energy with photovoltaic cells, collect rainwater, improve the distribution of natural daylight and it can use available convective energy to power the building’s ventilation requirements.

A pre-existing building is wrapped with three-dimensional lightweight, high performance composite mesh textile. Surface tension allows the membrane to freely stretch around walls and roof elements achieving maximum visual impact with minimal material effort. The skin is also an intelligent media surface that can be used for dynamic animation and to communicate information into the public realm – effectively integrating principles of architecture, fashion, media and communication design into a new hybrid typology.

The re-skin concept continues LAVA’s research into sustainable public architecture by combining lightweight contemporary materials with the

latest digital fabrication technologies with the aim of achieving more (architecture) with less (material/energy/time).

PUTRAJAYA - Lot L2C5, Malaysia

To be completed in 2013, the building is a mixed-commercial development with two 14 storey tower blocks interconnected with a pedestrian sky bridge. The tower accommodates retail at level 1 and part of Level 3, and offices for level 2 to level 14. The building is a commercial development that is distinguished by its sustainable ecological features and iconic design.

The façade of the building is a crystalline sculpture,

it consist out of a double skin facade system with

high performance DGU glazing on the inner side

and a ceramic fritted glass layer in traditional Malay

‘songket’ pattern on the outer skin.

The building integrates unique Green Design

Features like rainwater harvesting with 100 %

irrigation and flushing usage, several Bio swales

at perimeter landscaping, a landscaped central

promenade to enhance biodiversity and focus

for an intensified public realm and an integrated

building façade of vertical glass sun shading and

horizontal maintenance catwalk access to address

the solar insulation along the entire perimeter of

the building, with integrated green balconies.

landscape in a natural environment. The organic layout blends forms into each other producing a fluid combination of internal and external spaces promoting a healthy living and working environment.

Sustainability was central throughout the design approach, as was the development’s contribution to South Jakarta’s public realm.

The magnificent ETFE dome with retail hub below and multifunctional deck above forms a key focal plaza for the whole development, while carefully designed landscape elements, al fresco dining areas on waterborne timber pads create an alluring experience for the visitor.

Analysing the balance of light and shade, the overhangs and louvers were tuned according to the orientation of the buildings and further complemented by an innovative balustrade overlay inspired by the ubiquitous hand woven Indonesian baskets.

A solar orientation specific, shading calculator was developed for the project and applied to every glazed element to establish the correct number of shading louvers with respect to the variable overhang and solar exposure.

The concept for the project draws on the philosophy that opposing forces are interconnected in the natural world and takes inspiration from natural Indonesia. Elements of architecture are reduced to minimal shapes and geometry creating harmony between buildings and

This ensured the solar gains were kept within limits to enable the building to use low energy environmental control systems. Passive building elements are included in the environmental control system, with thermal mass from the concrete frame providing temperature stability and a high performance thermal envelope to reduce infiltration and thermal conduction gains.

This innovative organic facade design contributed to an overall reduction in energy demand by 35% in comparison to typical buildings of this type in Jakarta.

The primary aim is to reduce water consumption with high efficiency, low flow and high quality fittings. This in combination with the high rainfall rates and a grey water recycling system has reduced fresh water demand in excess of 25%. The rainwater recovery system uses the extensive green roofs and landscape realm to collect water in subterranean tanks integrated with the building foundations.

These two features alone make this development one of the most sustainable in Jakarta and at the forefront of the Greenship rating system of Indonesia.

Louis Vuitton Maison, South KoreaThe form of the facade is a series of continuous concave and convex curvatures with slight angles which will diffract light with consistently changing distortions. These will create almost cinematographic perspectives which will highlight the Louis Vuitton collection and ever changing line of fashion, art, and travel items. These differing geometries generate facetted reflections, which enable viewers, both inside and outside the building, to see constantly changing pictures of Louis Vuitton products, the city and themselves. Integrated with the stepped arrangement of the show floors, the users of the building will have various changing views of the urban context.

Two concrete masses provide enclaves of entry and rest within a miniature public park. The building is punctured with a light and air

tunnel to allow natural ventilation and provide the retail spaces a unique ambiance for customer.

The materials of the building are both artificial and natural. The glass, concrete, fiberglass, and stainless steel will contrast with materials like leathers, rough sawn woods, and plants. The East Facade is composed of a combination of undulating engraved and polished glass from 300 to 200 mm thick and 10 mm moulded plate glass. These combinations of different types of glass dramatically lower the overall cost of the facade while keeping those effects of both interior and exterior distortions at eye level.

Russell applies his technical and creative skills to building passive design concepts, lightweight structural systems and curtain wall and other façade systems

Marina Bay Sands™ Integrated Resort, Singapore (Ongoing, 2008-2010)Russell led the façade team for this major project, being closely involved in the selection and development of façade systems and glazing material to meet its demanding architectural intent. A large number of systems needed to be studied, then drawn together to achieve a complete building envelope.

South Beach, Singapore (Ongoing, 2009 – 2014) This development’s lightweight canopy is its most striking feature. Russell and the façade team have engineered the canopy as an environmental filter – it interacts with the building form to create semi-enclosed spaces below it while its roof catches the wind and directs it throughout circulation spaces for ventilation. In addition to this natural ventilation strategy, façade openings optimise daylight levels through glare reduction, while maximising occupant comfort.
