 "Blowing A Horn Is Hot Work"
Mississil)pi A rchitect has suggested previo usly that realle rs make
comments or (18k questions on auy sub ject relating to llrchitectlLre.
We have Iwd (fit interesting le tter regarding band rooms '(lorthy 0/
a detailed anSlVer. Mrs. L. .4. Ogletree, Route 2, Box 470, Crystal
S IITin.g', Miss. , has IfJrittell.:
At a cl ub m eeling recently I h eard a state m e nt that astonis hed
m e : that architecls don't know how to build in effective sound con-
ditioning . The worst 1)8rl is, it is more or Jess (rue. I have had lwo
hand m e mbers for tile pas t six years, followe(1 the band 011 tri,ls to
various school s and coll eges, and have suffe r ed through Ihe horribl e
echoing and claller of SOllnd in nume rOllS IITtlelice r00ll18 and a udi-
toriums.
I have viewed tile "fine lIew hand room" wilh ~~plent y of hig win-
dows" (the worst acoustic defect p08&ihle--l e uing in outs ide noi se~
if openj vihrating if closell, unless hung with heavy velve t drape ries ).
Band I,raetice rooms s hould be close to stage size, 80 Ih e lJUI,i1s
can be arranged approximate ly as they will be on stage. A st range
instrume nt 1,laying n e.x l to a nervous pupil cun throw him coml,letely
off.key.
They n eed completely adequate art ificial ligh ting. It's hard e nough
to read the s mall notes necessary for attac hing 10 ins trume nts without
s training to see by the sun shine and s hadows of daylight. And Iota of
hand work is ca rried out at nig ht.
They need noiseless air conditioning. Band I,rograms s turt two
to three weeks he fore the regular school session , and in the deep
South the h eat is dibilitating_ Blowing a horn is hot work. Try it.
(No heat pump&, please! They are N.G.)
They don't n eed f a ncy I,orticos. They need a shelte r thai students
and ins trume nts can b»el inlo or unde r until the b a nd ins tructor arrives
wilh the k ey to the band room. TIley need wide doors 80 that lIudents
cun e nter and egress Iwo or three abreast, carrying large horns and
drums. No center l)Osl8-they ca lise traffic jllms.
RestrOOn1S were a great I,ruble m whe rever we went. School s were
closed and 110 band rooms provided faciliti es. Som e few schools had
restrooms under the stadium-too few!
Adequate in st rume nt s torage, uniform and prac tice rooms are
necessities.
or course an architect wunts II is hrain c h ild to he prell)'. Bul in
the case of band rooms, it's prett)' is as ,.retty does. SI,end as HllIeh
as possible on necessities and le t s imple dign ity of exterior hol d the
cost down.
I a m not an arch itect-I'm just a taxl,ayer ami mother. My band
stude nt will graduate in June. TIle other is at Sta te a nd c he mistry
majors have no lime for ha nd. It is for the good of future gene ratiolls
I'm praying. I hope you do not consider m e undul y presmI1IHuC)uS.

men, scu lptors, muralists and landscape architects.
Architectural design sta rts with a need, a program
to sa tisfy that need and a si te on which to build a
solution. After that, plann ing begins with an overall
concept, proceeds from the creat ion of controlled
and orderl y indoor space and the structure and
materials with whicll to enclose that space to the
orga nizatio n and equipment of the outdoor space
tllat surrounds the building and sepa rates it from its
neighbo rs. This outdoor space, whether it be the
environmen t or a si ngle build ing or an enti re com-
munit y, must be just as controlled and orderl y, j ust
as well equipped and visually satisfying, as space
wi thin the bu ilding itself.
The organization and equ ipment of public or
private, ur ban or suburban outdoo r space is a design
problem that can be soh·ed best by architects and
landscape architects working together. They are
natural tellmmates in this fi eld. Th is has been proved,
time a nd again, through history.
Street furniture is not outdoo r furni ture alone. It

it is also beautiful to the eye it can never contribute
to the joy of liv ing. It is our job to see to it that it
does.

 hibitions is an important element of the outdoor
environment in which we spend our lives. It is there·
fore well worthwhile to take a good look at this
environment and its street furniture.
Let's start with the public street. (l ) Our down·
town slreets are usuaJJ y crowded co rridors where
motor and foot traffic are hopelessly intermingled
and where uncoord inated planning of buildings and
street furnit ure complete the visual co nfusion. In
this typical urban jungle, a subway kiosk, a news·
stand, municipal lampposts, traffic signs and traffic
lights and privately sponso red store signs and ad·
vertisi ng billboa rds all fi ght each other for atten·
lion. The build ings, originally conceived by their
architects as serene example of dignified design, are
lost in this honky·ton k env ironment.
(2) Even in our public parks, with motor traffic
excluded and some provision made for pedestrian
comfort alld relaxat ion, the confusi on of the street-
scape can break through. Somelimes, with more
control. results can be more satisfy ing: (3) here

equally aUractive and just as popular (9) . A great
department sto re in Denver left spaee for a winter·
time skating rink and summertime cafe and (lO)
equ ipped it with well designed lampposts, benches
and plan ting; (11) an office building in that same
city provides pools, fountains and a plaza for public
use and thereby also creates the right sett ing for
a skyscraper.
Private outdoo r spaces are usually better designed
and equipped than public parks and streets. The
intelligent private developer has an advantage over
the numerous municipal agencies whose overlapping
au thority sets the public urban paltern, a patterll
that is often just pictu resq ue confusion.
Good street iurniture can endow its surroundings
with meaningful character just as bad street furni·
ture, inappropriately (lesigned and out of key with
its en yironment, can mar the best of our bu ildings,
streets and cities. It would seem that the best solution
would be to design both street furni tu re and its
setting in proper relati onship to the people who will
see, enjoy and use it. Here is the oppo rtun ity and
the cha llenge!

OME interest ing sights to att ract the
travelers today are found unexpect·
e<lly in new structures along the way.
Motels, fillin~ stations, restaurants, churches, stores
and other types of buildings are appearing in such
unusual shapes as th ree·cornered domes, inverted
umbrellas and wi ne glasses, or \\·ith roofs folded in
accordion pleats or curved in two directions. Re·
sponsi ble for this architectural variety is a relatively
new type of construction in this country called reo
inforced shell concrete.
Plane travelers landing at Lambert Field, St. Louis,
see an outstanding example of shell concrete ill the
airlines terminal building there. Designed by 1o.Hno ru
Yamasaki , the 412· h . long build ing is f:omposed of
three sets of intersecti ng barrel she[Js which provide
not on ly nlllple in terior space unimpeded by columns
but also a superb "iew of the landing field through
floor.to .cei ling windows.
Idlewi[{l Ai rport in New York is another termina l
bui ldi ng Ihut has been compared 10 a soaring gull.
Purt of architect £e ro Saarinen's aim in designing
the building was to have it exp ress the excitement
of travel. Two winp,s of the bu ilding 8re built of shell
co ncrete flared outward in such a way that they
suggest the poi sed wings of a giant bird. The bubble·
shaped Kresge Audilorium at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology by the same architect is one of the
fi rst and best·kllo,,'!) structu res of shell concrete in
this cO!Jntry.
Shallow cones top 21 colu mns like a series of ginn t

The concrete shapes are grouped together 10 form
an open·air dinin ~ l)avilion. Bright pen nants and
striped walls on adjoining uuiJdings contribute to
a unusual and festive settLm;.
One reason for the popularity of shell concrete is
the variety of designs it makes possible. It utilizes
the same principle shown in nature in an egg shell,
which because of ils curv ing surface can lI' ithstand
a surprising amount of pressure without breaking.

Thirteen miles south of Venice, Fla., on U. S. 41,
motorists come upon what apl>ean to be a collection
of intriguing square umbrell as. This is the Warm
Mineral Springs Inn, a motel designed by archited
Victor Lund y using a series of concrete shells
mounted on concrete stems. Two different heights set
the umhrcllas apart
Prestressed concrete is also relatively new to this
country. In the process, slt.ei reinforcing cables are
stretched and anchored, placing the concrete in a
"big sq ueeze." This techll illue crea tes girders of great
strength ca pable of long unsupported spa ns. When
designs are standardiled, comiderable cost sa\'ings
are possible.

Nine-Story, Mutual Savings Building
To Be Erected In Pasadena, California
ITE DUI OLITION is underway for one of Pasa-
S dena, Cali!.'s tallest office buildings- a di stinc-
tive 84.2 milli on, nine-story slruclu.re for Mutual
Sa vings and Loan Associat ion at Colorado between
Union and Garfield Aves., according to Richard
Aslon, the Association's board chai rman.
" Located on one of the most strategic and desir-
able sites in Pasadena, the building will afford mod·
ern and convenient savings and loan faci liti es in
the downtown area," Aston said.
Planned, des igned and engineered by Welton
Beckel and Associates, a rchitects and engineers, the
new building and a five·\c\·ei, 450-car parking struc-
ture are scheduled for Fall, 1964 completion.
" A scenic, garden-like almosphere will be c reated
on the site by landscaping of the front and rear
plazas and the setback space between Ga rfield and
the building," Aston pointed out.
' 'This construction method will result in com-
pletely smooth interior walls with no protruding
columns, thus allowing greater flexibilit y of offi ce
arrangement," architect Welton Becket, rA IA, ex-
pluincd.
Ten ·foot hiSh sculptured walls with setbacks
ranging from 6 ft. to 15 fl. and topped by 6 ft .
of glass, will enclose the ground floor. This setback
wi ll result in sculptured, free·stan d ing structural
9
columns which will add to the overall symmetry
of the building.
The north and south e nds o f the building will
cantilever outward 12 ft. over the ground fl oor,
forming an arcade which will prov ide the feeling
of being in the building before actually going in .
side the glass.encl osed ent rances leading into the
main lobby. The nAtural stone masonry north and
south plaZAS will extend through the lobby.
" In pla nn ing this build ing, we have selected
colors and materials And created a slrong horizon·
tal expression to rei ute to the surrounding build-
ings," Beckel stated.
The upper eight stories of the building will fea-
ture deeply sculptured concrete walls, creating con-
stantly light and dark shadow patterns ac ross the
facade. Tinted glass windows will be set in place
wilh a newl y developed neoprene glazing seal.
Ground floor interi or walls will have a natural
slone fa cing and' a decora tive metal luminous ceil-
ing will highlight Ihe public lobby, with acoustical
ceilings in the work ing areas. Recessed incandescent
ligllting will provi(le controlled illumination in
keeping with the interi or atmosphere.
Space for expansion to include comput ing facili-
ties is being p rovided in the basement.

The site fo r the ISOO-student Paul C. Bl azer
Seni or High School in Ashl and , Kent ucky, consists
of steeply sloping hi lls and deep rav ines, all dellsely
wooded.
Chang ing the to pogra phy of the si te woul d have
been a major earth.mov ing operati on. T o avuid
this, the a rchitects, Joseph Baker & Assoc iates, New_
ark , Ohio, chose an unusual approach for Ihe ca m-
pus-type sch()(ll. Level structural concrete sta bs per·
mitted constructi on of one·slo ry bu ildi ngs without
rega rd to the slope o f the ground beneath . In two
of the buildings ·the flo or is 15 to 20 feet a bove
ground on one side of the bu ilding. On the ot her
side of the structure, 75 feet away, the Ooor touches
the slope to pe rmit access wi lhoul stairs.
Since the concrete sl abs were only a means 10 8/1
end , economy was a maj or considera tion . A prime
way of achieving th is was 10 keep the bu ildings
themselves as lightweight as possible. To do this,
the architects chose metal st mls, lath lmd plaster
for all interior work. Ove r 3500 squ are yards of
d iamond mesh metal lath were used with prefabri-
cated metal studs and h'Ypsum sal1(led, po rl lal1d
cemellt and aco ustica l plasters. In add it ion to
weigh t sa vings, substant ial time saving was also
effected, the a rch ilects report.
Aside from the gypsum sanded plaster, acoustical
plaster ceil ings were included in the lobby of the
gymnasiu m; in administration offices to provide a
void bct ween roof deck and ceili ng for d ucts, re-
cessed li ght ing and the like: and in the na tatorium
