CATENARY ROOF

THE ROOF IS INTERESTING: A SIMPLE CATERNARY ROOF SPANNING 22 FT. WAS DEVELOPED, USING FLAT STEEL BARS 12 INCH. CENTRES, SPANNING POST AND BEAM CONSTRUCTION OF FLANKING SIDES.

THE ROOF WAS CONCAVE IN ORDER TO ALLOW RAINWATER TO DRAIN OFF.

VIEW OF ENTRANCE

IN THIS BUILDING, RUDOLPH CONCERNED WITH THE DRAMA OF NATURAL LIGHTING. THIS IS A IMPORTANT CHARACTER IN THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING, AS IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE CHANGING CHARACTER AND PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPLICATION OF SPACE.

BUILDING HAS TOTAL NINE FLOORS WHICH INCLUDES TWO BASEMENT FLOORS.

THE BUILDING IS ORGANISED AROUND A CENTRAL CORE SPACE DEFINED BY FOUR LARGE CONCRETE SLAB COLUMNS THAT, SIMILAR TO THE EXTERNAL TOWERS, ARE HOLLOW TO ACCOMMODATE MECHANICAL SERVICES.

ON TWO SUNKEN LEVELS, SCULPTURE AND BASIC DESIGN STUDIOS ENCIRCLE A CENTRAL AUDITORIUM, THE APPROACH TO WHICH OBSURE.

AT STREET LEVEL, THE LIBRARY OCCUPIES A SINGLE STOREY SIDE.

ABOVE THIS, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOOKING DOWN INTO THE READING AREA, IS A TWO STORY EXHIBITION HALL, WITH ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ON ITS MEZZANINE, AND A CENTRAL, SUNKEN JURY PIT.

FOURTH LEVEL IS THE MOST DRAMATIC SPACE: AN ARCHITECTURAL ZONE ON FIVE LEVELS, EACH CONNECTED BY FEW STEPS, AN ELEMENT IN A PART OF THE GREATER SPACE, ABOVE WHICH RUN TWO PARALLEL MEZZANINES SPANNED BY A CHANNEL SHAPED BRIDGE.

BETWEEN THE FOUR PIERS TWO SKYLIGHTS RISE AS GIANT CLERSTORIES, INTENSIFYING NATURAL LIGHT IN THE CENTRE OF THE SPACE THAT RECEIVES IT ON ALL FOUR SIDES THROUGH PERIPHERALGLAZING.

PAINTING AND GRAPHIC ART STUDIOS ARE ON THE TOP TWO LEVELS, WITH AN OPEN TERRACE FOR SKETCHING.

FINALLY, THERE IS A PENTHOUSE APARTMENT FOR GUEST CRITICS, THAT ALSO HAS ITS OWN TERRACE.

THE TREATMENT FOR EXPOSED CONCRETE SURFACE BY POURING CONCRETE INTO VERTICALLY RIBBED WOOD FORMS, THAT ARE STRIPPED AWAY, AND EDGES HAND HAMMERED TO EXPOSE THE AGGREGRATE, IS DONE BECAUSE APART FROM BEING AN INTERESTING SURFACE, IT CONTROLS STAINING AND MINIMIZES THE EFFECT OF DISCOLORATION INHERENT IN CONCRETE.
