research

program: glassmaking and glass artifact displaylocation: Toledo, Ohio (part of the Museum of Art)architect: SANAA: Toshi Oki, Takayuki Hasegawa, Keiko Uchiyama, Mizuki Imamura, Tetsuo Kondo, Junya Ishigamibuilt area: 7,000sqmsite area: 20,000sqmopening: 2006structure: Guy Nordenson & Associates / SAPSglass consultant: Front Inclighting: Arup / Kilt Planning

key points of research:

- Toledo, Ohio was previously the glass capital of the nation, this building helped to restore civic pride in the city

- The simple appearance of the structure is deceptive. Most of the effort was put into housing and hiding mechanical systems within the roof

- To create a building which appears so beautifully simple is the result of extensive research, thought and trial

- The main envelope of the building consists of two layers of glass with a cavity space in between. This gap acts like an insulated glazing unit

- For extremely sensitive work, a few designated galleries were constructed with opaque walls

- The structure is supported mainly by columns and a few opaque walls

- Transparency was utilized within the site (allowing views through), building (allows views while within) and in program (allowing views of glass creation)

study models

Through these study models, we became intrigued by the ideas of site relationship, alignment with current structures, transparency and layers of program.

In this axonometric view, the relationship between individual envelopes is expressed. There are many paths connecting the spaces, which encourages a transparency of program.

Here, the paths that are taken most often are highlighted. The foyer and galler-ies are visited most often, while support spaces least.

drawings and diagramsheat transfer diagram: heat created within the hotshops is transferred throughout the building to increase energy efficiency. It is transferred through vents in the roof.

Each wall of glass consists of two panes of glass with a low iron laminated sheet in between. This sheet helps manage heat, sound, light, and strengthens the glass. Working with these walls, the cavity space between the various walls serves as an insulated glazing unit. The gap between the walls serves as a thermal barrier and helps control the environment within.

The exploded axon helps convey the structural support system of the building. The roof, columns and bearing walls take the majority of forces within the structure.

view from residential to nature

Here in the site diagram, relationship between the Glass Pavilion and it’s surroundings is made clear. View from the museum to the residential area and to nature remained unobstructed after the pavilion’s construction.

In these diagrams, we wanted to show how various layers of program are seen while within different locations in the building.

final modelsVisual Model:With this model, we showed a different program on individual transparent sheets. We then arranged these sheets to convey views you would experience within the building. Located beneath the photos are a plan showing where this view originates and is looking towards.

final models

Site Context Model:Shown in this model are the views from the site, relationship to previous structure and transparency of the Glass Pavilion.
