Editor’s Note

Wet, Hot, Fiery, Shaky American Summer Reader, you’re eyeing AN’s fall edition of our products-focused Source Material publication. Its arrival signals an unfortunate fact: Summer’s over. This year, the season provided a consistent string of disasters.

These terrors, both in the United States and around the world, are natural in origin but unnatural in causation. They are the latest rumbles in our planet’s changing climate. Many internet commenters (rightfully) mused that we should steady ourselves, as this is the coolest summer we’ll likely experience moving forward in our lifetimes—and the same will be true next year. The urgency of the situation inspired the recent September issue of The Architect’s Newspaper, which focused on sustainability and its shortcomings.

What can architects do about it? If they have little say about most things, it’s indisputable that the design and construction of buildings remains a valuable ex-

pertise. And: A building’s envelope is an unavoidable assembly that can be shaped to suit what is desired for performance and imagined for meaning. We’re decades past the quest for the ultimate glass prism (though those are still being constructed, with increasing efficiency), and now there’s a widespread, renewed interest in deepened perimeters which result in shading for interior occupants. The following compendium arranges four recent case studies that all offer shaded facades in compelling designs, from Chicago and Arizona to Guatemala and Singapore.

In the three products sections which follow, condensed from offerings in AN’s print issues, check out new offerings in a variety of categories which contain all manner of cladding, glass, and interior options. Consider them for your next project while you’re busy saving the planet.

Summer Shade Four case studies showcase recent examples of architects delivering envelopes that passively cool interiors.

John Ronan Architects uses reclaimed brick and anodized aluminum for facade of Chicago Park District Headquarters.

Rebound Architect: John Ronan Architects Location: Chicago Completion Date: June 2023

The new Chicago Park District Headquarters, located in Brighton Park, a neighborhood on Chicago's South side, is an 80,000-square-foot building housing offices for city employees as well as public recreational facilities such as a gym and basketball courts. The headquarters, and surrounding 17-acre park, were master planned by John Ronan Architects and constructed on a former brownfield site. The project was completed in June and features a facade composed of reclaimed brick, glass curtain wall, and anodized aluminum.

Prior to construction of the headquarters and park, the site was “reclaimed” through the comprehensive removal of hazardous waste and underground storage containers.

This program was undertaken through the EPA’s site remediation program. The particular

JAMES FLORIO

parcel housing the district headquarters was purchased by the city in 2019.

The Chicago Park District (CPD) vacated its previous headquarters in downtown Chicago as part of efforts by former Mayor Rahm Emmanuel to move city agencies away from downtown and into the neighborhoods, redistributing the geographical availability of municipal jobs.

In the 19th century, the Brighton Park area, as it is known today, was established as a livestock trading center, taking its name from England’s Brighton livestock market. In 1877, the Santa Fe railroad repurposed the area as a railyard.

Heavy industry and manufacturing followed on the heels of the railyard, bringing industrial jobs to the area and rapidly expanding the neighborhood’s population. As the area deindustrialized in the late-20th century, manufacturers and res-

idents left the area, leaving many of the former industrial sites vacant and heavily polluted.

John Ronan Architects master planned the redevelopment of the site into a park. Despite earlier clean-up efforts, construction unveiled pollution that was previously hidden. John Ronan told AN that this included “contaminated soil, underground storage tanks, and remnants of old basements on the site uncovered during the excavation phase.” Nine additional storage containers were recovered from the site, including an emptied 9,000 gallon storage tank.

The headquarters building is circular in plan, providing office workers with wraparound views of the surrounding park. Over 200 office workers occupy the building, which is organized to accommodate closed office and meeting rooms, as well as open meeting

spaces. Office space on the second floor of the building overlooks the gymnasium, allowing CPD staff to spectate basketball games.

John Ronan Architects employed brick for the interior and exterior walls of the headquarters in combination with a unitized glass curtain wall. The masonry is supported structurally by metal joists between walls. The bronze-tinted glazing of the curtain wall complements the champagne-anodized aluminum screens shading the offices.

The interior of the headquarters building is clad in brick salvaged from two demolished buildings in Brighton Park. After being retrieved and organized from the demolition site, the bricks were inspected and tested for absorption and compression. From there, the architects sorted the bricks into three categories which denoted descending quality—A, B, and C. A map was created to indicate to the masons where to place each quality category, selected according to the prominence of the given wall span.

Specifically, the project utilizes Chicago common brick which was made from clay found in the Chicago River. Chicago common brick is recognizable for its distinctive light-salmon color. Considered inferior to bricks made from clay sourced from other locales, Chicago common brick was often used to adorn interior spaces, while more expensive ceramics were saved for the exterior.

John Ronan told AN, “aluminum was chosen because it doesn’t rust; the anodized finish was selected over coated aluminum because of its visual qualities—it looks better in the sunlight than coated aluminum, which has a duller appearance.”

The building’s furniture, wall cladding, and gym floors use ash wood from trees that have succumbed to the Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive species of beetle from East Asia.

Above, right: The facade’s glass fins form a grid which redirects sunlight to minimize solar-heat gain within the structure.

In 1999 in an effort to improve embassy security, the U.S. State Department launched its Capital Security Construction Program. Since then the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (OBO) has completed 176 new diplomatic facilities with more stringent safety measures than their 20th-century predecessors, among this is a new U.S. embassy in Guatemala City, Guatemala designed by the Miller Hull Partnership, in collaboration with the OBO. The new embassy in Guatemala City has been relocated from its former location within the city center to a more remote and secure site.

The bulk of the complex is clad in Virginia Mist granite, while a rectangular glass volume, fit with a glazed brise-soleil, emerges from the top of the structure. Three finishes of granite that vary in terms of color and texture were selected for the facade. Along long spans of site wall, Miller Hull placed large base stones which narrow as they rise the height of the wall.

The compound was constructed on the site of a former borrow pit, an area from which soil was excavated for use in a neighboring development. The resulting 82-foot grade change necessitated a terraced layout to accommodate the eight-story building. The building acts as a retaining wall with counterfort walls implemented to stabilize soil.

The embassy’s outdoor spaces drew inspiration from the architectural forms of the Maya civilization. Mathew Albores, Miller Hull’s project manager for the embassy project, told AN that the site planning was influenced by “the organizational layout of the ceremonial and residential planning of Maya cities that we visited including Tikal, Yaxha, and Copan.”

The main chancery building was designed to reference the temple architecture of the Maya.

Local-plant species surrounding the base of the building mimic the way ancient temples appear to “rise” out of the canopy.

Wrapping the rectangular glass volume is a brise-soleil constructed from glazing and stainless steel fittings. Installed perpendicular

to the curtain wall, the glass fins form a grid which redirects sunlight to minimize solar-heat gain within the structure. An elaborate solar analysis was conducted to determine the placement and orientation of the fins.

Albores elaborated saying that “Miller Hull was responsible for the overall design and solar analysis of the brise-soleil,” and in preliminary design phases the firm worked closely with Front “to develop concept details” on how to connect the vertical glass fins to the building and the “staggered horizontal members.”

Ultimately, those initial designs were altered, during design development and construction, with the final iterations developed by contractor BL Harbert and architect of record Page and reviewed by the Miller Hull team.

The U.S. embassy project in Guatemala targets a number of high-performance goals.

The project is expected to exceed federal standards, reducing energy by 26.5 percent compared to a new building. Nine percent of the building’s energy consumption will be produced through the use of solar photovoltaics. Additionally, wastewater treatment will be performed onsite and used to irrigate the campus landscape. Photovoltaic cells are located on the roof of the main chancery building and Green roofs were implemented on adjacent buildings within the complex.

As part of Miller Hull’s Mission Zero program, the office committed to offset all project emissions released prior to occupancy. The firm utilized Tally, a life cycle analysis tool to calculate the amount of carbon offsets to be purchased upon completion of each project.

Aluminum screens shade the National University of Singapore’s School of Design and Environment.

Jungle Canopy Concept, design, and detail: Erik L’Heureux with SDE Special Projects Architect: CPG Consultants Location: Queenstown, Singapore Completion Date: February 2023 In February 2023, the National University of Singapore (NUS) completed renovations on two buildings at the School of Design and Environment (SDE). Originally constructed in 1976, the two buildings, SDE1 and 3, now feature remodeled interiors and new aluminum sunscreen exterior. The updated facade protects the building from heat gain generated by the equatorial sun and was designed in a style which evokes the formal qualities as well as functional aims of vernacular architecture in the tropics.

The renovated complex offers students 250,000 square feet of programmatic space containing design studios, research centers, faculty offices, and galleries, as well as a 10,000 square foot open loggia. The design team was led by Dr. Erik L’Heureux, a Dean’s

Chair Associate Professor within the University’s College of Design and Engineering, in collaboration with CPG Consultants, a firm based in Singapore. Work on the project began in 2015.

The design of SDE1 and 3 follows precedent from SDE building 4 which was completed in 2019 and was Singapore’s first new-build, net-zero energy building. By reusing the existing structure, the project sequesters the embodied carbon of the original facility. With the application of the “deep veil” shade apparatus, solar heat gain and glare are minimized while daylight penetrates deep into the floorplate.

Initially, Dr. L’Heureux and his team intended to reconfigure and reuse the building’s original aluminum panels, but bureaucratic red

ONG CHAN HAO

tape and logistical concerns made this difficult. Dr. L’Heureux told AN that “in Singapore, the circular economy is still in its infancy, and contractors and subcontractors are reluctant to be liable for a recycled facade. The University was unwilling to absorb the recycled material’s structural and maintenance concerns, so, unfortunately, we did not get that through the approval process.”

The new facade system was constructed using aluminum with a galvanized steel substructure. Aluminum was chosen because the facility’s existing pile caps could not bear the weight of heavier materials, such as precast concrete or brick. Aluminum also satisfied the University’s requirement for easily cleaned and durable finishes. The design team con-

sidered timber, however, local fire codes and the risk of flammability eliminated the material from consideration.

The aluminum screens were positioned in a manner which corresponds to the arrangement of the surrounding tree canopy. Screens are closed near the top of the facade and gradually open near ground level where the building receives shade from the canopy. Light shelves were included along clerestory windows to draw sunlight into the studio spaces. The original single-pane glazing was replaced by high-performance Low-E double glazing.

The design team created comprehensive daylighting simulations as well as 3D digital twin models to optimize the performance of the facade. The specific measurements of the facade modules were calculated parametrically using a grasshopper script which varied the fold angles, width, and flange height of each individual screen.

To maintain temperature and humidity levels, the complex utilizes a hybrid of natural and mechanical ventilation. After 6:30 p.m., the hybrid cooling system shuts down and the windows are opened. Due to thermal lag, comfortable temperatures remain until around midnight.

Dr. L’Heureux said that last year the energy consumption of SDE1 was about 382,600 kilowatts per year with a full occupancy rate.

This consumption translates to an Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 45 kilowatts per square meter per year—more than 60 percent energy savings compared to the building’s energy consumption before the retrofit.

On the south block of the building, two open lawns from the existing building were transformed into a jungle courtyard space surrounded by a “golden crown” brise-soleil. The crown consists of galvanized metal finished with gold paint. Unlike the horizontal louvers along the building’s perimeter, the crown is oriented vertically to allow for more effective rainwater shedding and to minimize rust. Additionally, galvanized metal is a cheaper material than aluminum and contains lower amounts of embodied carbon.

When COVID-19 hit during construction, workers were constrained by Singapore’s stringent social distancing and testing protocols.

Likewise, construction timetables were impeded by disrupted supply chains.

Dr. L’Heureux shared that “for SDE1 and SDE3, the shift was decentering NUS’s value system from quick interior facilities renewal (by term contractors) to the long term valuation of the campus’s carbon inheritance as a legacy for students, faculty, and alumni.”

He continued: “The assumption is that new buildings represent the future and an advancing national narrative of ‘Nation Building.’ We worked hard to shift these values and communicate a different value system to the University where conserving its carbon inheritance through adaptive reuse signifies a shepherding of carbon deposits from earlier generations.” TS

Grimshaw and Architekton fight the Arizona glare with a fine-tuned, two-sided approach to exterior windows.

Desert Haven Design architect: Grimshaw and Architekton Location: Tempe, Arizona Completion: 2022

Seen from the street under the bright Arizona sun, the Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health is hard to miss. The research facility, designed by Grimshaw Architects and Architekton, is the latest addition to Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. It houses a suite of interdisciplinary departments and institutes within its 281,000-square-foot layout.

Its exterior catches the eye with an interlocking glass-fiber–reinforced-concrete (GFRC) facade and an interior courtyard lined in a glazing and aluminum-composite panelized system.

Considering the arid and sunny locale, the project’s massing and choice of facade material and detailing proved essential to its high-performance credentials. The Walton Center rises from a porous base of columns, taking advan-

DROR BALDINGER

tage of prevailing breezes and water-retention basins to cool the complex. That massing is supplemented by an expansive courtyard, which also functions as a passive shading device and means of air circulation. Insulated glass unit modules measuring 7.5 by 3.5 feet produced by Vitro Architectural Glass punctuate the exterior facade and courtyard. Shading helps keep the notorious solar heat gain of Arizona at bay, and the GFRC panels, whose molding mimics the folded surface of Saguaro cacti, provide extensive UV protection on the exterior facade while letting in daylight and sustaining views.

For the courtyard, the design team enhanced the flow of filtered light with a cool green-blue mega-panel glazing system prefabricated prior to installation, the colors paying

homage to the Grand Canyon’s Havasu Falls in northern Arizona. Crews bolted the panels onto a stainless-steel “drift-track” embedded in concrete floor slabs at a pace of approximately ten per day. For office and laboratory spaces adjacent to the courtyard walls, the team opted for narrow window modules that diffuse natural lighting to support individual and group work.

The larger conference and meeting rooms are daylit with floor-to-floor curtain wall glazing.

However, the tolerances of those metal panels was difficult during construction. “The most challenging detail was maintaining a consistent joint size between mega-panel joints and individual metal panel [IMP] joints,” Grimshaw associate principal and architect Eric Johnson told AN. “This was technically complex

due to the limitations of construction tolerances on-site. The intended appearance of the skin as a continuous surface was achieved by matching the mega-panel joint size, color, and material to the typical IMP joint size and strictly following specified design tolerances.”

The Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health received LEED Platinum status, as ASU requires all new construction of university buildings to achieve a rating of LEED Silver.

Though that certification is still underway, the design of the project’s fine-tuned enclosure is sure to set a new standard for Arizona.

Matthew Marani, studying city and regional planning at Pratt Institute, writes about architecture and urban design.

Partition Walls New designs for schools, businesses, and even homes have been prioritizing flexibility since the pandemic challenged our notions of space and togetherness. Clever delineation has been a fortunate consequence of this, as is shown in these unique, recently released partition products.

The ultra-flexibility that accompanies these offerings enables seemingly endless partitioning possibilities. SAH

Decorative Glass Designers and manufacturers of decorative glass have a range of techniques at their disposal— from glass tempering and acid etching to back-painting and digital printing—to produce the right colors, patterns, and textures for a project. But decorative glass is not just for show. It can also be specified to meet performance or sustainability goals for applications ranging from elevator cabs to exterior cladding.

Structural Glass Structural glass and glazing need to be tougher than tough, and these frameless glass assemblies take on an portion of the structural load. Typically used for entrances, curtain walls, storefronts, stairs, railings, and flooring, structural glass is not restricted by the size limitations of standard framing systems, allowing for more expansive—and often more innovative—installations.

Here are some of the latest structural glass options for projects both big and small. RCO

Specialty Glass Certain projects require specialty solutions such as switchable glass, photovoltaic glass, or wind protection for roofs, skylights, facades, doors, and windows. While some specialty glass is very industry-specific, such as radiation shields for X-rays in medical facilities, others work across many different project types, like bird-friendly glass for a wide variety of facade contexts.

Coatings, Films & Spacers Advancements in material technology have critically elevated the potentials of coatings and films in architecture. They can prevent injury during storms, fire, or forced entry. They can increase a building’s energy efficiency or offer improved views or added privacy, depending on which is needed. These glazing options can support every facet of a project, whether you’re constructing a storefront, interior display cases, railings, or glass partitions. Additionally, a new spacer offers asset management information for easy glass replacement. RCO
