As we assemble issues of The Architect’s Newspaper, our hope is that these pages hang around your office—or linger on your web browser—for a while as a resource for practicing architects. Each edition includes a themed Focus section that gathers relevant case studies and products.

Here in this seasonal Source Material publication, we compile our product pages, researched and selected by AN’s editors and Contributing Products Editor Rita Catinella Orrell, for your easy review.

To start, revisit a thoughtful piece by critic Aaron Betsky in which he links Mies’s Tugendhat House to the slider frenzy that typifies so much high-end residential

design today. And learn from a case study

by AN’s managing editor Emily Conklin that visits two recent, glassy projects for Luxottica in Milan by Park Associati.

Across three envelope-focused chapters, you’ll find relevant selections for facades; windows, walls, and doors; and glass. Each of these topics is often the subject of our online news, virtual gatherings, and in-person events, like our Facades+ conferences, which take place across the country. AN has shaped over 20 years of architecture and design culture by connecting the industry through publications and events. Why stop now? Jack Murphy

One-Percent Flex

The six-figure window wall has been in high-demand, challenging architects and fabricators to innovate. Now that they’ve attained sustainable specs, are wealthy clients ready for the next trend?

Blurring the boundary between inside and outside has been a central aim of modernism since 1929, when Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed one face of the Tugendhat House in Brno to slide down below the living area’s floor level.

Recent developments in glass and construction technologies, including almost tintless glass products like Starphire from Vitro (formerly PPG), and similar products, have made that ideal ever-more attainable—if you have the funds.

Architects around North America are using floor-to-ceiling telescoping, accordioning, and even simple sliding doors to open the already expansive, loftlike living areas for the minus-one-percenters to deliver the spectacular views their

because of security. Since using large windows in some of our schools, we are getting reports that students there are less stressed and more productive, and absenteeism is way down. I think the same is true in homes. You don’t feel as confined and stressed, you can breathe, you feel the space around you.” Moreover, Strain explained, the connection “helps change the attitude toward living with, not away from, the outdoors and climate.” As an architect, Strain believes that he demonstrates that with proper shading you can open up a house and enjoy the outdoors even when it’s 110 degrees.

In a completely different climate, architects Lisa Bovell and Matthew McLeod open the homes they design in North Vancouver to views of the Burrard Inlet, the Strait of Georgia, and the downtown skyline across the water. Here, it’s not so much the tinting and shading that is an issue as the frames of each window. Framing must be able to withstand the bite of the sea air over time, as well as the frequent storms that sweep through the area.

For McLeod, it is all about what makes the opening possible. He told AN that “we are actually more interested in the reduction of the reading of the window details and materials associated with glazing.…Most of the frames end up ‘buried’ in ceiling, walls, and floors.” he said. As a result, McLeod has

the San Francisco Bay Area (though also with its strict energy and earthquake codes), similarly aspires to the fluidity that large and operable windows provide. But he’s slightly more nuanced in his approach. “While we do consistently create designs that emphasize indoor/outdoor connections, which typically translates into large areas of glass walls that open or retract, we have come to realize that many architects overdo glazing as a default strategy,” he told AN. “It’s often the contrast between solid and void, with carefully considered choreography, that creates a more dramatic and controlled effect.”

Max Strang, whose practice is producing multiple large homes across Florida, often designs living areas along the coast or inland waterways. An openness to the water and its breezes is central to the design process—as is the requirement to lift buildings off the ground. In coastal and low-country regions, local codes tend to prohibit build-

often seven-figure homes command. Is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars per wall worth it?

Certainly, the results are dramatic. Seeing a whole wall disappear with the push of a finger, either through the use of a well-balanced slider or electronic controls, elicits gasps even from those used to the effect. Some architects think that the opening achieves a more fundamental good.

The Tugendhat House itself was designed for a client who had asthma; the opening, as well as the house’s hidden filtration system, was in service of the client’s health concerns as much as Mies’s idealization of “almost nothing.”

“If we have blurred the line between the inside and outside, we will have achieved something,” Las Vegas architect Eric Strain told AN. As well as designing homes with budgets of multiple millions, he has been the architect for schools and community centers that have very restricted budgets. “For years, Las Vegas schools did not have windows, mainly because of cost, but also supposedly

also experimented with eliminating the frame (and window frame supplier) altogether. “By making our own enclosures out of industrial aluminum or GRP [fiberglass] profiles for simple fixed units, they are then completely buried in adjacent assemblies.”

ing permanently occupiable rooms on current or future floodplains. These constraints mean Strang’s designs have a spectacular sense of continuity, which he admits “comes with a pretty decent price.” He has recently sensed a reaction against these kinds of reductive structures: “I think the pendulum might swing back to more punched openings and enclosure.”

With a single double- or triple-paned window and its enclosure often costing well over $10,000, a whole assembly, including reinforcements that allow for the spans, can claim up to 15 percent of a total (multimillion-dollar) budget.

As an observer, I have to wonder whether it is worth it. The effects can be spectacular. That designers can do so while still answering to ever stricter energy codes, and perhaps even reduce reliance on heating and cooling because of that fluidity, is certainly laudable. But with the effect coming at a cost that only few can afford, and that also depends on manufacturing processes that use ever more steel, glass, and chemicals, the achievement becomes more questionable.

Throughout the modernist period, the single-family home for the wealthy client on a privileged site has allowed architects the chance to experiment with new techniques, forms, and materials. Whether there will be a trickle down from the suburbs of Las Vegas, the hills of Napa Valley, the seaside of Miami, or the rocky shores of the Georgia Strait to the places where most of us live will be the real test of whether the ideal of a physically, as well as notionally, open architecture is possible.

Aaron Betsky is a critic of architecture, design, and art who lives in Philadelphia. His book Don’t Build Rebuild will be published by Beacon Press this fall.

5 Case Study

Glass Masters Park Associati hones in on the craft of architectural glazing in two new projects for Luxottica in Milan.

LORENZO ZANDRI

LORENZO ZANDRI

Architect: Park Associati Interior design: Park Associati Landscape architect: Arch. Franco Giorgetta Structural/civil engineering: MSC Associati Electrical engineering: Deerns Lighting design: IN-VISIBLE Lab Facade consultant: Deerns General contractor: Borio Mangiarotti, SMV Costruzioni Glazing Contractor: Stahlbau Pichler Facade Installer: Stahlbau Pichler Facade system: Stahlbau Pichler Glass (facades): Sedak There are workplaces that boast about amenity gardens and greenspaces. Then there is the new Luxottica headquarters, which is literally in a garden.

The eyewear company’s effortlessly light glass volume is enclosed in a private courtyard in the heart of Milan. There is no noise from the street, no disruptive passersby or bus stops, only the peace and tranquility of its very own secret garden.

The headquarters is just one part of an architectural duo that Park Associati delivered for the iconic brand. Also in Milan, it completed a bold adaptive reuse scheme on Via Tortorna, transforming an abandoned factory into Luxottica’s new Digital Factory. Each building is a master class in architectural glass and a testament to the rewards of ambitious and attentive customization.

Park Associati fitted the headquarters with the lightest touch—hardware, structure, and attachment mechanisms are essentially invisible. The building resembles a tall glass of water.

“We started with a low-iron base, created by Saint-Gobain, and then that glass was treated with a product by Sedak: This was the only company willing to experiment with the four layers of stratified, vertical glass fins in the facade,” said Lorenzo Merloni, a designer and studio leader at Park Associati.

Typically the double-height fins used here would result in lots of torsion, and traditional methods to stop this would involve adding more structural supports. But this would of course impede the designer’s clear vision. Filippo Pagliani, partner and cofounder of Park Associati, added that “in this collaboration, we were able to really push the calculations to assure the structural strength of our glass fins and the very big transparency you see today.”

The nearly all-glass envelope makes the new architecture feel barely there. You can see the old-growth trees and greenery through it, whether walking from the adjacent office or sitting at your desk. But it’s not without environmental sensibility. In true European form, the building can adjust to natu-

ral ventilation, but rather than using the traditional operable window approach (which, again, might impede absolute transparency) Merloni explained that “the double-skinned facade is engineered so we can adjust the internal facade temperature: cool outside air flows through in the warmer months, naturally ventilating that space and the interior of the building.” In the winter, however, this ventilation is closed, forming a tight seal to retain heat in the colder months.

At the same time, Park Associati was working on another aspect of Luxottica’s spatial needs: the Digital Factory. The luxurious new showroom on the fashionable Via Tortona welcomes special clients and passersby alike and also houses the brand’s Digital Lab, a “high-tech innovation center.”

The new showroom revitalizes an abandoned factory, keeping key moments of the building’s past to evoke a feeling of lineage. The designers also show great reverence for the simplicity and power of the existing “shed” form.

To respect this shed form, the team retained the original roofline. And the pieces of glass that connect the showroom floor to the Via Tortona were actually the largest in the world upon completion. Each measures 3.2 by 10 meters. A courtyard was also carved out here, as at the headquarters, and ghosts of the sawtooth roofs remain overhead, punctuated by treetops.

Working with a client who so clearly understands the power of glass, light, and craft made Luxottica a unique partner in these two elevated designs. From eyeglass frames to facade systems, Park Associati connected the dots. Bringing the craft of a product into the architectural expression of a company requires astute attention to detail, lightness, and flexibility—but above all, a fine sense of style. The team delivered not just once, but twice. Emily Conklin
