Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Introduction

Kalvskinnet in today’s time is an integral part of Trondheim’s Cultural Heritage. It holds cultural importance and has valuable heritage buildings in its vicinity, which have been preserved over centuries. It is vital to preserve and develop this area to maintain the cultural legacy of the city. The building within the Kalvskinnet campus, however, have very little standing in the public psyche as there is very little public awareness of the buildings’ value. Not just individually but as the part they plan in Trondheim development.

Located in this historical area, the new science center will be “re-built” based on its historical value to revive the spirit of the place.

As it holds the functional facility for Science Museum and University Library (NTNU) and the Science Center itself, the integration of the surroundings on neighborhood level plays an important role not only in stimulating activities within the neighborhood but also creating communication between the museum and the university.

Our project tries to intervene the building cautiously by optimizing on existing condition and distributing and sorting program and functions. New elements are introduced not to overshadow the existing value within the building but to enhance its historical value.

Trondheim’s evolution 10

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Cultural Heritage

Trondheim, as a city that has lived through key periods of history, is one of the most important cities in terms of culture and tradition of the Scandinavian country. The history of Norway is closely linked to the city of Trondheim, from the might of the Vikings, playing a key role in being a central Christian city for Scandinavia and suffering from massive fires, to being a regional settlement for Nazi Germany during WWII. The roots of Trondheim go deep into history and it is essential to preserve the cultural heritage of this city to tell the stories of its might for ages.

It is believed that Viking King Olav Tryggvason established Trondheim in 997 AD across the river Nidelva. Trondheim served as a capital city to the Vikings till early 13th century and one of the most important Viking battle was fought here in 1179 The Battle of Kalvskinnet.

Kalvskinnet in today’s time is an integral part of Trondheim Cultural Heritage. It holds cultural importance and has valuable heritage buildings in its vicinity, which have been preserved over centuries. It is vital to preserve and develop this area to maintain the cultural legacy of the city.

The Kalvskinnet campus comprises of three buildings Gunnerushuset, Suhmhuset and Schøninghuset all named after the founding members of Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (DKNVS). The DKNVS started collecting archaeological and natural history material, which eventually became the organization’s main task. The buildings houses various departments like natural history, archaeology and cultural history, dating research and various exhibitions spaces.

Trondheim city center development begins from the Nidelva river mouth, as the city is known as a trade town. After the city was torched, during 1000 – 1350 the city was rebuilt with new main streets in north – south direction. Around 1640 the city continues to grow westward.

After the great fire in 1681destroyed most of the houses in the city, the city is re-planned in Baroque style by Jean Caspar de Cicignon.

The streets are made wider and deeper so that people could get access from the main streets. However the old narrow streets from the middle age are still retained, giving a contrast to Cicignon’s new boulevards.

During 1708 – 1830 Kalvskinnet area started to grow with public institutions started to be built in the western part. The city infrastructure continues to improve with the railways from the south and east connected in 1884 and several new bridges being built. The development of the Kalvskinnet area continues with roads facilitated for cars.

Cultural heritage classification

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Cultural Heritage

In the area of Kalvskinnet it is possible to find almost all types of cultural heritage. Tangible immovable heritage is present in the museums and protected buildings by the Cultural Heritage Act such as Gunnerushuset, Suhmhuset and Schøninghuset, while the tangible movable heritage is possible to be found in the collection that these buildings keep inside.

The built heritage of the intervention area can be classified as historic town, since all the buildings were built in the beginning of XIX century. It is also important to highlight the importance of the buildings by their own due to their historical bequest, as well as the potential of the public area that surrounds them to create a green area that might be the nexus between the complex.

However, despite all of them were built during a period of approximately ninety years, the whole aggregate cannot be considered as an architectural ensemble, since the harmony between them is not present anymore.

Many sociocultural values can be found in this area of Kalvskinnet. Among them, the historical and cultural values are some of the most important ones. This is due to the role that these buildings play as part of the built heritage, a reminder of the history of this place, as well as the collection kept inside them, as a preservation of the knowledge and tradition from past eras.

Museums are generally under valued and under funded in urban and regional development scheme of a region. If the potentials are explored adequately museums can play a vital and effective role in urban revitalization initiatives. They can help revive and diversify a local economy and the competitiveness of their environment.

Even though there’s a huge potential in the intervention area, the role of museums as both an incubator and source of creativity and innovation is not yet well recognized. Therefore, to upkeep the value of the building and its surroundings, an integrated actions towards physical and sociocultural value of the place is essential.

The aesthetic value is also present on the area, since the beautiful view of the river from the plot creates a sensorial experience that does not leave the visitor indifferent. This is at the same time a landscape value, since its charm lies on the nature of the place.

This green and natural space on the banks of the river creates the perfect environment for the recreation, adding to the place the recreational value.

Last but not least, the scientific and educational value are clearly present as well on the collection inside the museums, teaching every person who aims to visit it the history of this particular place, from the stone era until his glorious catholic foundation.

Economic value 17

Museums attract tourists and scholars from across Europe and around the world. Museums nurture creativity and innovation, they act as a space for reflection on the present and a source of inspiration for new creative and innovative concepts. We have witnessed major changes in terms of economic development, tourism, employment of locals in respect to museum management and touristic facilities and above all the preservation of tangible and intangible aspects of cultural heritage which would have been neglected otherwise.

Cultural tourism initiates people from other country to know more about the local history and cultural heritage. Creativity and innovation are fundamental dimensions of human activity and essential to economic prosperity. Museums act as a focus for reflection on the present and as a source of inspiration for creative and innovative concepts.

Urban Analysis

Current urban situation

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Urban Analysis

20 As it is shown in the map, Trondheim is a disperse city. However, we can identify three of the main spots where the future development plan is growing faster.

Many sociocultural values can be found in this area of Kalvskinnet.

Among them, the historical and cultural values are some of the most important ones. This is due to the role that these buildings play as part of the built heritage, a reminder of the history of this place, as well as the collection kept inside them, as a preservation of the knowledge and tradition from past eras.

The aesthetic value is also present on the area, since the beautiful view of the river from the plot creates a sensory experience that does not leave the visitor indifferent. This is at the same time a landscape value, since its charm lies on the nature of the place.

This green and natural space on the banks of the river creates the perfect environment for the recreation, adding to the place the recreational value.

The density of jobs in Trondheim concentrates in the collective arc that extends from Lade via Midtbyen to Sluppen. The concentration is highest in the centre east, and in the area of St. Olav and Gløshaugen.

The map as shown here does not say anything about the type of workplace, but on the basis of Statistics Norway you know where the density of health, social, business and service, hotel and restaurant, public services etc. is great. In relation to the 2060 perspective, it is important to look at where new jobs will be established. In relation to campus development, you should carefully plan and advance forecasts.

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Urban Analysis

The map shows the Trondheim municipality’s main route for cycling through the city. The map does not show the use of which streets and roads are frequented most. In the area that extends from Sluppen via Elgeseter to the centre and Lade, mobility for cyclists is high. Most students live within walking distance to the city centre.

In further planning, it is important to cooperate with the municipality to strengthen accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, and strengthen the connections. On the map it is circled 10 minutes walk from selected points on campus. (The siblings are theoretical and do not show available routes. The university college platform is currently perceived as a topographic obstacle in strengthening contact with the city as a whole.

Work to break this barrier and facilitate contact for both pedestrians and cyclists must be strong in the planning work. This is absolutely essential for contact between the various campus areas.

All the more visited and tourist places are, in a way, very approachable from each other when you are in the city centre, as we can see in the map.

The most important places are, also, very close from our site, Kalvskinnet campus and have a good connection with the rest of the city.

Focusing more deeply, we find it out that the main buildings have plenty of entrance to the point that it becomes confusing for the visitors and even for a typical user.

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Urban Analysis

It is very important to identify the different collectives who will be using the campus in order to make the place more comfortable to everyone and provide the services needed to everyone.

Therefore, they are divided in families, students living on site, students living off site, employees and seniors. The topics studied in this research are the age they are, how long they spend on site, the way of living, the frequency they use public transports or public space and the places they will go.

For example, the group that will use public space the most are families, students living on site and seniors. Nevertheless, students living off site will need better public transport connection to the campus.

From this classification, it is possible and easier to recognize the main requirements we have to meet, and how to success in urban development.

It is essential to elaborate those types of diagrams and decide which facilities are indispensable to reach our goal, build a better campus and better connected.

Current development plan 28 Different alternatives have been proposed for the future campus development plan at NTNU, one of them is based on Kalvskinnet area.

The plan aims to increase from 7000 to 23000 the number of users, within stablished phases, until 2030. It means that the neighbourhood will drastically change due to the arrival of different users mostly students and NTNU workers, and that the historical Kalsvkinnet quarter will have to adapt to the new buildings that a urban change like this requires.

Still, the cultural heritage has to be preserved and the new building intervention will have to grow sustainable. The new Viteskapmuseet (k1), is part of Phase number 1, and it is one of the most important pieces in the urban development. For instance, as a design drivers, we aim to achieve the integration in the urban space, minimising the emissions as much as possible.

The following graph shows the number of users that will move to Kalsvkinnet campus from now to 2030. Involving several faculties, architecture among them, and in the Future Campus Plan we can see the scope of the urban development plan, from almost Kongens gate until the southern part of Prinsens Gate with Arkitek Christies gate (phase 3). The plan aims to connect Kalsvskinnet to Gløshaugen, through St Olav University Hospital. For this, we proposed the construction of a new bridge (phase 4)shared with pedestrians and cyclists, connecting Sverres gate to Schwachs gate, that will help the flow of people to more easily access the new campus.

Urban intervention

Urban concept

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Urban intervention

32 The concept development of the project on urban or neighborhood level is defined through the understanding of the cultural heritage, urban analysis of the area, and also taking into account NTNU’s campus development plan. The concepts are focused in minimal intervention in hopes of having a maximum impact on the project while still having minimum emission. The result is translated into three main concepts which are the definition of axes, compartment the courtyard, and the egg yolks.

The axes are defined into cultural axis and educational axis.

Erling Skakkes gate is now already part of a heritage trail which offers access to other museums along the street. This road becomes the cultural axis that will also connect the project to main street such as Prinsens gate. The educational axis lies on Sverres gate which connects the project with NTNU campus in Øya.

Currently the functions between museum, library, research, and university are mixed within the blocks. By re-organizing the functions within its own block, it will optimize the use of the existing building thus reducing emission from the need of new builds. It would also create a clearer understanding within the area.

Through the figure ground and the analysis of the existing access, it is clear that the buildings in this area form sort of a courtyard between them. The courtyard is not only formed between buildings but also between buildings on different blocks.

Following the courtyard idea and the compartmentalizing of each block, the egg yolk concept is translated as a central space that would become each block’s node. This node will become an area where people can orient themselves within buildings.

PHASE 2

After the whole campus of Kalvskinnet is fully formed, it is important to connect it with NTNU campuses nearby, namely Øya. Therefore, the fourth phase will be the development of the connectivity to Øya by revitalizing the existing bridge near Trondheim Spektrum connecting Kalvskinnet and building an additional bicycle and pedestrian bridge to connect Kalvskinnet campus with Øya campus.

Following NTNU’s campus development plan, the development of the area can be staged in 4 phases.

The second and the third phase can be developed following the basic principle of the phase one and become another sets of egg yolks.

Urban design 35

1.

Homogenizing pavement material

Introducing a similar pavement material throughout the project will unify the different blocks on ground level which will then help to easily identify the area.

2.

Prioritizing pedestrians over vehicles

As Kalvskinnet area is reachable by foot from major bus stops and city nodes, it allows high flux of pedestrian to the area and reduce the need for car. Therefore, there’s a huge potential in creating a landscape that prioritize pedestrian over vehicles. Vehicular access is limited for service and emergency purposes.

3.

Inner court design and pedestrian ways

The inner court is an open space with pathways connecting entrances between the buildings to create a clear sense of direction linking each blocks.

4. Integrating signage and landscaping on potential ingress points to the area Currently, the public has very little knowledge on the museum.

Therefore, by introducing signage which can also be art installation that relates to museum collection on several access points to Kalvskinnet, can increase the exposure of the museum and Kalvskinnet on a city scale.

5.

Building new bridge and revitalizing old bridge

As mentioned before, the connectivity between NTNU’s campus holds an important key in NTNU’s campus development. Creating a bridge connection will increase ease of mobility between Kalvskinnet, Øya, and Gløshaugen campus.

Minimum intervention & space optimization Currently, Gunnerushuset accommodate most of the natural history museum, some offices, lab and storages for the museum collection, and facilities for the university library. Most of the function in Gunnerusbiblioteket are related to university library, including study spaces and archive. These two buildings already have connected access. The other two buildings which are separated are Suhmhuset and Schøninghuset. Suhmhuset exhibits medieval history and has existing café to support the museum. However, the administrative function for the museum is located separate from the museum itself, which is in Schøninghuset.

The initial idea in order to have low emission in the project is to build less by making use of the high potential that is already in the project site, which is the existing buildings. This is done by compartmentalizing the functions in buildings within their respective blocks which allows a high degree of space optimization with minimum intervention.

In general, all the university library functions within Gunnerushuset & Gunnerusbiblioteket is switched with museum related functions in Schøninghuset. By doing this, it allows approximately 2000 m2 new space for exhibition in previously Gunnerusbiblioteket and additional 700 m2 space for exhibition in Gunnerushuset. However, the existing area in Schøninghuset could not accommodate the large area requirement for the archive. The floor plate area for one level of Schøninghuset is around 1600 m2. Therefore, there will need to be 2 new floors added to provide adequate space for archive which also allows additional supporting functions to be added such as cafeteria and more study spaces.

SCHØNINGHUSET

General concept 48 The general concept came out of the urban analysis performed at the beginning of the project. This was to rearrange the site into two precincts, each with their own central node.

similar sense of space and materiality

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

Schøning huset already had a node by being next to the large atrium of the Teknobygg, thus the priority was to connect the two buildings.

Whereas Gennerushuset currently has no central point and needed to be created. It was decided that this would be around a central atrium built inside the unused space between the buildings. This allowed the buildings to work together in a single system. It did however leave Suhmhuset alone on the site, but it was felt that Suhmhuset would be best used as it’s own entity within the complex for social events.

The glazed atrium then became the common language between the two precincts. As both buildings had large atriums to connect them with other buildings in their block.

Clear communication lines

This created a new situation from the existing buildings, utilizing them with only minor interventions. This fit with our Urban, environmental and Cultural goals for the project.

Lastly it was apparent that the nodes needed to be connected by more than just a common language. So landscaping was planned to coincide with the entry points of all buildings across the site. This allows people to use the site as a campus in it’s own right, securing the identity of the Kalvskinnet campus plan.

The materials utilized in the building’s intervention played a key role by Creating a similar sense of space and materiality to

Schøninghuset intervention By analysing the intervention area it was clear that the big concrete block placed in the middle of the two concrete parts of Schøninghuset was a clear focus point from every corner of the area. Not only due to its hight, but also due to the difference of materials with the close buildings. The relation in architectonic languages present in the brick buildings was completely broken due to this massive block. Therefore, one of the main purposes on the intervention in Schøninghuset building will be to deal with this issue.

Schøninghuset’s existing façade is long and monotonous, with mismatch proportion and material use between the Old Brewery and newer Schøninghuset addition. It has a signal showing the museum but without any indication of access, which together, with

the sign of Gunnerushuset makes the are very confusing for the visitor.

Due to the impossibility to treat the envelope of the concrete building without damaging the load bearing structure (since the external walls are load bearing), it is finally decided that the entire block will be demolished.

Furthermore, two additional floors in a light weight timber structure are added to the existing buildings in order to fulfil the program requirements. This additional structure will avoid a big part of the thermal loses through the roof of the existing buildings by improving their thermal efficiency.

Schøninghuset demolition 54

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

In order to optimize the space and prepare the existing buildings for the addition of the new floors in Schøninghuset and it is firstly necessary to clean up some of the existing building elements.

As we can see in the C-Stage Module graph, roof and walls are the most notably emission drivers in the End of Life stage, same for the Next Product System stage. Among the following graphs, we can find the Emissions per material graph, which shows the emissions according to each stage of the LCA. This will help us to understand the importance of C stage, in comparison with the others, and how can we deal with them.

We realized of the important of reusing these materials, and we took advantage of it. Since we have learnt during the semester that concrete is one of the materials which drives most of the emissions and we had to create a lifted slab in the Gunnerushuset entrance and courtyard to better reach the height differences between street level and level 1, we came up with the idea of using the concrete extracted during the demolition stage, so that we reduce the use of concrete and therefore reduce the CO2 emissions of the whole project.

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

For the new building intervention, we have considered many factors in order to choose the right materials, these are emissions, lightness and aesthetics. In the following tables it is possible to find a comparison between CLT 140mm and glulam from two different EPD sources, and it helped us to see how can it vary between sources and that glulam is better in terms of emissions.

For choosing the cladding materials, we have also made a table of comparison between timber and Eco cooper sheets, for a life period of 250 years, cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheets life cycle. It shows how important is to choose materials that last longer, but still, it is necessary not to choose materials that will last more than the rest of the building, since even though they could be reused, it is better to have equal life for all the building components. For this reason, we have chosen timber instead of cooper.

However, since the Keyboney solution resulted in higher emissions than what we expect it, we finally choose a burnt timber cladding, since this type of treatment last the whole product life time, avoiding emissions due to materialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement. Unfortunately, it was not possible for us to find an EPD for this particular product.

In view of this, CLT and Glulam are the materials used the most, wood cladding and a green roof. The result in the table x shows how we achieved a negative total of CO2 emissions for the Cradle to Gate stage due to wood carbon sequestration properties.

In order to minimize the emissions due to interior re-organization of spaces it is decided that the interior existing distribution of the lower floors of the building will be respected as maximum as possible.

In addition, and following the natural communication lines of the existence building, new floors of offices, workshops, labs and study rooms are added together with public functions such as the library and cafeteria.

The final decision of allocating the atrium in the middle of the new construction building and the existing part of Schøninghuset allows to create two buildings energetically independent from each other. This way, both buildings could follow different working schedules allowing the optimal energy efficiency.

Consequently, the right part of the building showed in the section bellow (which includes the Old Brewery) has been design to shelter

the new research facilities. Offices and labs for the NTNU researchers which will act as an incubator of new talents.

On the other hand, in the left part of the building (which includes the existing part of Schøninghuset) the new extension for the NTNU teaching facilities will be added, including workshops and labs for the students and new offices for the teachers, which are mixed together throughout the different floor in order to create a closer relation between professors and students.

In addition, in order to attract people to this new building, the library of Gunnererushuset has been moved to the first and second floors, close to the public atrium, and a big cafeteria has been added to the top floors to enjoy the views of the city. Moreover, a bridge between Technnobyg and Schøninghuset has been created to improved the communications among the university block.

Based on this data, we multiplied the total built are for both the case of the new construction and the existing building and we obtained a total energy demand of 84500 KWh. With the aim of reduce the emissions due to energy consumption, our intention was to supply this energy through PV panels placed on the roof of Technobyg.

Business building. Energy used by age of building. 2011 KWh/m2

845250 KWh 160696,41 KgCO2 eq 845250 KWh

The average energy production of a PV panel varies from 1,9KWh/ m in winter to almost 180KWh/m2 in summer. By multiplying this amounts by a energy efficiency of 20% and the total area of PV panels we obtain that the maximum amount of energy that these panels are able to produce is a total of 450KWh in summer, which only would allowed us to save 8 tonnes of CO2 equivalents of emissions to the atmosphere. In base of these results it is concluded that other sustainable energy systems would have to be implemented on the building in order to achieve a ZEB or nZEB standard, for instance geothermal energy.

In order to do so, data for a research based in Trondheim that studies the average energy consumption of offices and school buildings during the past century has been used. According to this data, the average anergy consumption of these buildings is 160 KWh/ m2 for buildings constructed after 2000, and 190 KWh/m2 for those built before 1990.

Gunnerushuset intervention 70

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

To stay true to our concepts of minimum intervention, through space optimization there are only two main interventions within the Gunnerushuset museum. These were the development of the central atrium and the skin on the southern façade.

The central atrium utilizes the existing buildings without having to demolish and rebuild. Apart from changes to the floor plan of each building the structural walls remain relatively untouched. The Atrium does this by creating a focal point that can be understood from each building, this space facilitates as well the circulation among them.

On each floor the four buildings act as separate wings, each able to host and exhibition. The atrium bridges let people move in and out of each wing and to any other. This breaks the current system where visitors have to enter one exhibit after another in a linear manner, this freed the buildings from their bad layout and allowed each building to now work as a wing in it’s own right, as they were designed to. The ramps within the atrium also ease access for disabled or elderly visitors as the wings can be navigated without using the small flights of stairs that cureently connect the buildings.

The skin worked in a similar way to homogenize the southern facades, the façade on the street side is already very similar and it’s cultural value needs to be respected. Whilst the southern façade has been built up over the years creating the current patchwork that has very little relating them. To homogenize the buildings visually we have wrapped them in a skin that reflects the current proportions on the northern façade and links them with the southern façade and library building.

Currently the building compound are comprises of four “wings”: Gunnerusbiblioteket, DKNVS building, Gunnerushuset (old and new wing). Joining the building compound enables a continuous circulation for the museum experience and forms a courtyard.

On the other hand, All the different buildings have different material or color expression. To be seen as a single entity, there needs to be a ‘red thread’ connecting the building façades.

Design process

Aesthetically what strikes the most regarding the site is the broken link between the Gunnerushuset and Gunnerus Library. Both buildings look drastically different form different time era. Due to the lack of correlation the campus is not binding together visually.

The space between Gunnerushuset and the library is a dead end is used for services. It was crucial to revive this area in order to make the museum successful. It is converted into a covered courtyard and a central focus of the museum.

To optimize the offices in the museum extra storey is added on top of the library building. The faรงade of the museum is also covered to make the space complete.

The gray part of Gunnerushuset could be demolished; however it was chosen to enhance the exterior by making a double skin faรงade for better thermal performance and just demolish the wall in the first floor for better light. Symbolically it preserves the old but with a touch of new.

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

Design strategies

Gunnerushuset demolition

In the case of Gunnerushuset, housing multiple exhibitions of different kinds means internal environment within the building requires various conditions. Some exhibits require low natural light and stable temperatures, whereas public areas are more comfortable to be in if there is predominantly natural light.

In light of the seen during the End of Life and Next Product System stage calculations, we needed to optimize the space and prepare the existing building for creating proper spaces for the Science Museum purposes, having into consideration to carefully demolish existing elements and trying to use the existing ones for the new design.

The layout of the building achieves this variation through a simple logic. The older buildings in the north of the complex will be left with the same windows. This not only preserved their cultural value as part of Erling Skakkes Gate, but also retained the low daylight levels required for exhibiting fragile items. In contrast the southern portion of the complex is currently made up of newer buildings with less cultural heritage.

With this in mind, it was firstly necessary to clean up some of the existing building elements in the courtyard. Also floors and partition walls in the existing buildings needed to be extracted.

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

72

This justified more intense intervention of the southern façades, when sunlight could be harvested the most. The atrium act’s as a large conservatory, trapping the suns energy for use in the rooms facing the atrium. This would significantly reduce the energy required to heat the surrounding rooms compared with the current situation.

There is also the possibility for the atrium to be used as stack ventilation chimney in summer months.

Lastly the various façades on the southern side were homogenized by a timber and glass skin façade. The balance between the timber and glass rhomboids was designed according the internal daylighting required behind the skin. The skin also acts as in a similar way the a Trombe wall does in the southern most façade of Gunnerushuset.

76 As a design drivers, it is important to make decisions not only designing to reduce emissions but also to suit the architectural desires.

For these purposes, we have taken into consideration multiple factors among material physics and mechanical properties, aesthetics and CO2 emissions for the more appropriate materials in the building intervention.

Optimizing the existing buildings and creating a neuralgic centre from a misused courtyard only by placing a light roof and a wise distributing system of staircase and ramps has notably achieved a very low intervention in terms of volume of material and emissions, which was the target of the project, as well as significantly improving the thermal behaviour of the buildings.

The materials chosen for the comparison are glass, ETFE, wood and polycarbonate. all of them suitable to the rhomboid pattern light structure.

For the LCA calculation purposes, a revit 3D model has been used on the design project and to quantify the amount of materials, forwarded to an excel file with all the Environmental Product Declarations found from various sources. With all this information, we were able to calculate the total amount of emissions shown in the following graph.

The graph related to new cladding materials shows that, for a same U-value of 1.96W/m²K for single unit of 1.3m² rhomboid panel, structure not included, wood is the lower in emissions because of the carbon sequestration, however it needs to be thicker to equal the heat transmission target, . ETFE is a very light material and low in emissions, while glass and polycarbonate are worst in terms of weight and emissions.

We may use this as a fact to support the use of solid wood panels for the opaque parts of the designed façade and ETFE for the transparent ones.

All building accessed this service zone and this is remarkable because since it has approach to all the buildings surrounding it. We were able to use it as a central space for the museum rather than the uninviting space that it is right now.

Since, the plinth level is different in all the buildings. We filled the ground to make it an even surface and eliminate the need of providing steps at least on the ground floor. It was crucial to revive

this area in order to make the museum successful. The courtyard is the central focus of the museum. It is converted into a covered courtyard.

All wings converge in this central space and all have a view to it.

The central helical staircase in the courtyard reaches all leaves and is joined by ramps.

The ETFE roof creates an oasis sheltering the surrounding buildings and the atmosphere inside the museum. People can stay in the green courtyard regardless of the weather outside; more over the building remains protected.

Since Trondheim sees a lot of rainy days. The shape of the roof is such that rainwater harvesting can be possible. The water gets collected in the tank underneath the ground.

Project Report _ New Yolk, New Yolk! _ Building intervention

The courtyard between the Gunnerushuset building and Gunnerus library is a very interesting space. The courtyard at present is used as a service zone and is generally used for loading and unloading of materials going in and out of buildings. This space is basically a dead end junkyard space between the buildings, which was more or less unwanted.

The whole building is divided into four wings. Each wing exhibits a

Aesthetically what strikes the most regarding the site is the broken link between the Gunnerushuset and Gunnerus Library. Both buildings look drastically different form different time era.

The simple addition of a staircase has opened up possibilities of all the buildings to be linked up together to function as one.
