The Design Concept or Philosophy

The MIISC as a community sporting facility contains and
expresses the culture, character, nature and sporting uses
of the site. The building expresses not only functional and
operational requirements but community and social
aspirations which have been realized through generous
government financial contributions. Our design approach
has been to maximize the potential of the site and provide
the occupants sporting and improved lifestyle
opportunities.

The new Collge des Tuillires is an integral part of an urban environment with an architecture inspired by Le Corbusiers Radiant
city and pays tribute to a very clear concept of non-private appropriation of the ground on which it is built. The generous
presence of a large park-like area in the centre of the site made available to all residents is one of the major highlights of this urban
and architectural concept. The integration of the schoolyard in this green space fosters a community function further enriched by
the interaction of activities and their coexistence within a single landscaped area.
The transparency of the semi-underground sports halls allows to preserve a strong visual link between the street and the
schoolyard in the park. The classrooms are located on the three upper levels around a large central hall which regularly extends to
the faade. Through the use of cascading voids designed to constitute the visual link between the floors and a multitude of natural
light sources, this hall proves to be a coherent design component which unites.
The wide spans which define the static of the sports halls are the result of a set of concrete shear walls on the classroom floors.
The layout of these shear walls, parallel to the large sides of the volume whose two faades are also supporting structures, makes
up the primary structure of the building. The secondary structure and shear walls are ensured by slabs of reinforced concrete.
According to the same static system, the three upper levels form a cantilever nine meters deep which protects a portion of the
schoolyard from inclement weather and marks the entrance to the building.
The use of clinker brick to build the faades reinforces the particular nature of the new school complex while integrating it in the
volumetry of the surrounding neighbourhood. The monolithic look of the exterior contrasts sharply with the atmosphere inside
marked by the lightness and fluidity of space.

What happens when solar control becomes sculpture-and vice versa?

Architects at Gould Evans had just such an opportunity for the second of four buildings that make up Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute. The building's north faade, an entry point for the entire research complex, lies on what will become a major pedestrian
framing a mall with connections to a light rail station. Seizing the moment, the school set aside a small budget specifically for an artistic gesture at this prominent entrance.

From the start, Gould Evans had envisioned an atypical laboratory complex wrapped in glass, observable to the outside world and as bright and open as possible within. This visibility of research also inspired the architects to refer to the science contained within, how
abstractly, in its proposed sculptural piece. Lined with offices and conference rooms, the north and east sides of the ingress building would also need solar control for early morning and late afternoon sun. Ideally the shading would be adaptable and user controlled, p
views and adjustments by occupants. The constraints played into their conceptual thinking, which was rendered in aerofoil-shaped custom wood louvers by the Hunter Douglas Contract division, Nysan Shading Systems.
"Our inspiration came from the scientists' and researchers' work, and the process known as gel electrophoresis," explains John Dimmel, a design architect for GouldEvans who also oversaw construction administration for this second phase.

Gel eletrophoresis refers to a standard technique for separating molecules based on their shape or size-a process ideal for the DNA sequencing undertaken at the Biodesign Institute. The output is interpreted by means "gel arrays," which show patterns of "DNA ladde
familiar to anyone who has studied biology in recent decades. "So we looked at some gel arrays, and that was our starting point," says Dimmel. "The clients really liked the idea."

Like the gel arrays, the exterior would have both horizontal and vertical banding. Another early guideline was to keep costs low. "We only had a fixed amount of money to work with, so we originally considered flat panels," for the sun control, says Dimmel. "The origina
essentially moving doors, and we suggested a fabricated louver that at 40 inches or so would be larger than typical," says Jason Warnock, Nysan's director of sales and marketing. The secret to cost control was using the same airfoil geometry Nysan had developed
aluminum louvers used in the first-phase research building.

According to Dimmel, the manufacture of the sculptural louvers involved bowing two thin panels -- in this case, of cherry wood -- over one or two aluminum ribs and holding them in place with aluminum nosings at each pointed end. To further improve their economy, G
Evans designed only three configurations of the vertical louvers; each could be flipped on its head to produce six variants for the two-story-high array. The louvers were also cut into sections, reducing the size of the cherry panels but more importantly allowing horizon
express the DNA ladders.

The lightweight construction was ideal for the intended use. "We made them operable so they remain however the user leaves them, which gives a randomness to the exterior," Dimmel explains. "And they seem to change from day to night, when the faade has a dif
to it." During the day, the warm cherry contrasts markedly with the glass plank walls, while at night the vertical gaps and horizontal slots let light out, rendering vivid patterns. While the striations produced are left to chance, they yield a high degree of visual cohesion a
of day.

But their operability also presented a conundrum for Gould Evans: Over time, occupants touching the louvers would lead to discoloring the wood finish. For that reason, the design provides for operation by handling the aluminum frame only. A clever hardware design
users to operate two sections per floor at once: The bottom louver is rotated 90 degrees to open, which then catches the top louver to move another 90 degrees, opening the top and closing the bottom section; then the bottom can be moved another quarter turn back
both sections open.

In office areas, says Dimmel, the louvers are used frequently by occupants who can "step right up" to the installed artwork. In other areas, users have to reach out over balconies to operate the system. Yet overall, the wood controls glare and low-angle sun, and the s
comfortable and protected.
The installation for the CM-at-risk project was highly constructible, says Dimmel. "The louvers went up incredibly fast. They were hoisted through the atrium space to the second and third floors, and then put up in three or four days," Dimmel recalls.

And the result has been commended for more than its suitability as a laboratory, though it was named "lab of the year" by R&D magazine. Thanks to its sculptural solar control, it is now known for its memorable and endearing image. This year, Desert Living magazin
