SYMPHONY CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM

THE PERFORATED PANELS ALLOW FOR WELL-DISTRIBUTED DAYLIGHT TO COME INTO THE SPACE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT COMES INTO THE SPACE. ANOTHER KEY REASON AS TO WHY THE OUTTER SHELLS PANELLING IS PERFORATED IS TO ALSO ALLOW FOR THE PATRONS AND VISTORS TO THE SYMPHONY HALLS TO HAVE SWEEPING VIEWS OF DOWNTOWN PORTLAND THAT SITS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE COMPLEX ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WILLAMETTE RIVER.

PERFORATED METAL OUTTER SHELL

TRIPLE-PANED CURTAIN WALLS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT THE COMPLEX AS A WAY TO HELP MAINTAIN A HIGHLY-EFFICIENT BUILDING, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ALLOWING THE COMPLEX TO BE AS VISUALLY PLEASING AS POSSIBLE TOO. BY USING TRIPLE-PANED PANELS, IT HEAVILY REDUCES THE POTENTIAL OF AIR LEAKAGES THROUGHOUT THE COMPLEX

MULTI-LAYERED FLOORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROTUNDA AND IN SYMPHONY PARK SERVE AS WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS AND COLLECT ALL RAIN WATER INTO INDUSTRIAL-SIZED WATER CISTERNS EMBEDDED BELOW BOTH AREAS USED FOR VARIOUS WATER NEEDS AND USES AROUND THE COMPLEX

PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY IS ATTACHED ONTO THE RIBBED METAL SIDING AND SERVES AS A KEY COMPLEX ELEMENT IN HELPING REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT THAT WOULD BE SEEN IN SUCH A LARGE COMPLEX OF THIS SIZE
