A dramatic geometric addition to a protected, early20th century building orming part o an impressive
new youth acility in Widnes, UK is dened by pre-
patinated copper with an iridescent surace.
The new Central Rmz complex is part o the British
Governments myplace initiative, which aims to provide world-
class youth acilities with the active participation o young
people locally. The design, by architects Austin-Smith: Lord,
incorporates the ormer Kingsway Medical Centre a listed
building refecting its rarity as a 1930s comprehensive health
centre outside London and its striking Moderne design with Art
Deco elements.
The new extension is not a pastiche o art deco architecture but
takes a modern approach, creating a clear interace between old
and new. It wraps around the rear o the original building as an
uncompromisingly contemporary intervention, orming a range
o spaces including a large Perormance Area. The new build-
ing is terminated by a strong geometric orm an oset copper
rhomboid - at the upper level which breaks through the glazed
walls and continues inside. This distinctive space will act as a
chill out relaxation area, related to a Recording Studio and other
social spaces downstairs.
Vertical and horizontal suraces o the rhomboid both inside
and out are clad in long trays opre-patinated copper with a
rich, iridescent surace appearance. Particular care was taken
in detailing and setting out to align the copper tray joints meet-
ing at various angles, all expertly installed by Carlton Building
Services.

The new patient treatment centre at The Christie in
Manchester, UK, is home to the largest early clinical
trials unit in the world, the largest chemotherapy unit
in the UK and The Christie Clinic private patients suite
to help boost NHS income.
The Christies vision was to create a new building to replace
an existing outdated acility, which would be o the highest
architectural quality and create a strong new entrance to the
hospital. The building was designed to have a relationship withthe existing buildings on site, both visually and physically. The
building has been orientated to relate to the adjacent buildings
on the site and to create a stronger and more legible main
entrance point to the hospital.
The building is clad primarily in undulating bands o brass shin-
gles. The natural textural nish and rich, warm tones o this ma-
terial were chosen to complement the brick and terracotta clad-
ding on adjacent buildings, whilst creating a unique and beautiul
aade with a natural patina which will weather naturally over
time. This contrasts with a dark grey ceramic rain-screen clad-
ding, echoing the slate roos o the Victorian properties opposite.
Both The Christie and AFL Architects wanted a design and layoutthat would maximise opportunities or natural lighting, ventila-
tion and break-out space, to create an attractive and healthy pa-
tient environment.
The landscaped central lightwell accessible to all building
users provides a valuable open-air amenity space or relaxa-
tion and interaction. In addition to environmental considerations,
steel-ramed construction with lightweight concrete decks and
studwork throughout, the project has provided large open plan
areas allowing uture fexibility. The Christie vision or this build-
ing has been met with a unique, careully crated and sustainable
design, eectively acilitating valuable medical treatment and
research work or years to come. The acility opened ahead oschedule in November 2010.

The acilities o the 1964 Helsinki Chil-
drens Hospital, which specialises in the
treatment o seriously ill babies, had be-
come cramped and old-ashioned. When
the hospital was rst built, about 90 pae-
diatric patients were treated annually - but
now the number has risen to 700. Added
to this, water penetration and other dam-
age demanded renovations, modernisation
and expansion.
Design challenges
The old hospital has ve separate wings or
ngers radiating out rom a long, curved
hub building all sharing the same central-
ized layout. The building typies the unc-
tional style ound in many architecturally
signicant hospitals dating rom that pe-
riod. There is a clear desire to preserve
them in their original architectural orm,
although they do not always ull modern
requirements. With new extensions to the
Helsinki hospital, successully combining
the old and the new into compatible enti-
ties, while meeting all the restrictions
placed by the town plan, posed a real chal-
lenge.
What urther complicated this project
is the act that the hospital is protected
by the National Board o Antiquities and
Historical Monuments. In addition, the
building inspection authorities, as well
as conservation specialists, set out a re-
quirement or a thoroughly modern ap-
pearance, distinctly dierent rom the old
building and the extension was designed to
be a separate entity. The two new pavilions
were built in the courtyard spaces dened
by the nger wings o the original building
and mainly accommodate the new surgical
wards and intensive care units.

Copper the key material
Copper was chosen as the key material,
visually linking the old and the new - as
the original hospitals roo material is
copper with a green patina. Thereore,
pre-patinated copper was selected as the
exterior wall material or the new build-
ings. Bespoke copper slats were specially
designed or the Childrens Hospital and
the use o three dierent size slats gives
the aades a distinctive and lively surace.
They are attached diagonally to the bot-
tom runs to orm a latticed surace. The
objective was to create a harmonious and
uniorm aade, including covering over
air grilles and smoke removal equipment,
hidden behind the copper slats.
At roo level, the countless ventilation
ducts are concealed within large cop-
per pipes. In addition to the exterior wallsand the roo, copper was also used on the
sleeves covering ventilation pipes, en-
trance doors and other exterior details.
The copper was delivered to a abricator in
rolls and processed into the slats and other
elements. Although work on site was sub-
ject to special arrangements to minimise
disturbance o the hospital operations, the
project progressed particularly well due to
close cooperation with the hospital sta.
The project remained within schedule and
the hospital personnel are delighted with
their new acilities.

The Head Oce o the Tapiola Group is located in southern
Tapiola area in Espoo, in immediate vicinity o the old Tapi-
ola Garden Town. Property development has traditionally
in Tapiola been based on ree locations with respect to nature and
built-up green areas. This principle has been ollowed also with
the Head Oce; the building mass above ground is divided into
six six-storey parts using atriums and undulating building levels.
The lightness o aades, characteristic o Tapiola, has been cap-
tured in the screen-printed glass o the ribbon windows, whilethe use o wood on the windows and the suraces o balconies
and terraces link the building with the wooden house on the op-
posite side o Lnsituulentie Road. The objective has been a mod-
ern interpretation o a new building that bets Tapiola. The main
entrance is dominated by a canopy, which rests on three columns
made rom Corten steel. The lower surace o the canopy, which
at eaves height extends rom the outdoor to the indoor, is covered
with wood. A natural stone wall realised in ree orm connects the
building with the varying ground contours o the plot.

Common unctions and internal trac inside the building wind
round the entrance atrium and the main lobby, which orm a cen-
tral square. The oce acilities or some 1500 employees are
modiable, allowing the building to be divided into separate units,
which can also be rented out, i necessary. The smallest possible
unit consists o two parallel oce blocks on one foor. The o-
ce blocks, which are connected with the tall lobby area through
open side corridors, acilitate unctionally versatile and diverse
space solutions in the oces. Natural horizontal connections arepossible both between the dierent oce units, and through the
side corridors o the lobby space between the blocks. Vertical ac-
cess routes utilise internal staircases and lits inside oce units,
and the spiral staircase and the panorama lits o the lobby area
between oce blocks. The lobby with its waiting areas and ex-
hibition acilities, as well as the associated auditorium realised
in white concrete and the wide side corridors on the foor levels
create an assembly area or the people working in the building.
Tapiola, which today is a regional centre in the City o Espoo, was originally planned in the 1950s as a garden town in southern
Espoo, some 12 km rom downtown Helsinki. Tapiola was built up gradually over the years since the 1960s and at present has
a population o ca. 40,000. The area is about to be connected to the metro network as part o the Southern Espoo metro line.
The new main oce o Insurance Company Tapiola was erected south o the regional centre. The division o masses and the
materials make the building well adapted to the area. The aade materials o the new main oce building include screen-
printed glass, transparent aade glazing, wooden balcony suraces as well as corrugated copper sheeting and a plinth innatural stone. The choice o materials and the architecture o the headquarters block refect in an interesting way the archi-
tectural background o Tapiola area; innovative spirit combined with environmental objectives.

The shared conerence rooms are also arranged along the side
corridors o the lobby area. The sta restaurant and the con-
erence centre on the top foor extend outside to wood-foored
roo terraces with a sea view to the Gul o Finland. Special at-tention has been paid to the modiability o the oce acilities
in terms o architecture, construction and building systems.
The three basement levels excavated into rock provide park-
ing or ca. 830 cars as well as technical acilities. The construc-
tion was up to the foor slab o the topmost basement level built
with the cast-in-situ method as a post-tensioned column and
beam slab system. The building rame above consists o 8.1
m modules that comprise steel tube composite columns lled
with reinorced concrete, welded WQ beams, and intermediate
foors and roo slabs made o hollow-core slabs. The rame is
stiened with stairwells and lit shats built rom reinorced
concrete using the climbing orm method. The three columnson the main entrance, made rom Corten steel and rising to a
height o 26 metres, support the grid o steel beams in the can-
opy. The steel-glass wall o the lobby is suspended rom this
grid and in horizontal direction supported against wind pres-
sure and vacuum loads to the edges o the intermediate foors
with steel tension rods and compression rods. The sculpture-
like spiral staircase o the lobby, built without a centre column,
has been partly realised as a spring enclosed with steel plates
and supported on the ends o cantilever beams. The glazed
balconies are cantilevered steel structures that were post-
tensioned to the rame.
The development o the project, as well as the control o de-sign, the actual design, and the construction have been guided
by the environmental and lie cycle objectives o Tapiola Group.
Environmental classication system PromisE has been used
as a tool at the dierent phases o the project. Tapiola Group
has been awarded WWFs Green Oce designation or its com-
mitment to eco-eciency in the use o the building and the
practices ollowed by the sta.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
One o the more unusual applications o copper is this canopy roo
to a distinctive new timber bridge in dramatic Scottish countryside.
he 20 m span Bracklinn Falls tbridge replaces tw earlier
bridges, bth washed away in exceptinal ds. It serves t
cmplete a cre tpath netwrk within the Special Cnserva-
tin Area Bracklinn Falls and prvides a sheltered viewing platrm
ver the waterall and grge, as well as being a turist attractin in its
wn right.
Te design by Malclm Strng Strng Bridges, the cmpany that
als built it - is centred arund ur hme-grwn Duglas Fir timber
ples pinned at the centre and trussed using cmpsite timber / steel ver-
ticals and diagnals. Steel links in the lwer chrd cmplete the pitched
truss whilst allwing a curved ribbn deck t be supprted in between
the tw trusses. Te trusses brace themselves against each ther using
steel lattices.
Tis design allws the structure t be reestanding and easily mvable.
All members, except the ples, were preabricated in a wrkshp and
transprted t site dwn narrw tracks. Te ples were dragged nt
the site and shaped in-situ. Te whle bridge was preassembled n site
and slid int psitin n a temprary steel bridge. Te site culd nt be

Green Building with Copper
Austin-Smith:Lrd explained:Whilst themain external material is Welsh slate from
the local quarry at Bethesda, the use of cop-
per was also of prime importance as it creates
a seam running through the building com-
mencing with the North Elevation, where animposing arch announces the main entrance
of the building. Te copper then reappears
on the West Elevation and again on the East
Elevation to highlight the projecting Delta
area. Te use of copper makes reference to
historic copper mines of the Great Orme in
Llandudno.
Utilising traditinal materials in a m-
dern rm creates a landmark building
which respects the heritage the area
and the high quality design demanded
by the Welsh Assembly Gvernment. But
als undamental was the requirement
r a reduced carbn tprint and an
Excellent BREEAM rating. BREEAM is

COPPER AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Agora administration building or the Council o Europe in Strasbourg,
completed in 2008, is proud o its impressive environmental credentials
and copper plays an important part.
Like the other building materials usedon the project, copper was chosen on
the basis o all aspects o sustainability
in terms o manuacture, delivery, pro-
cessing, urther development and age-
ing. In addition, all technical, ecological
and economic decisions made during
the planning and construction phases
and also during the buildings entire op-
erational lie were examined in detail in
regard to sustainability. This method o
working by the architects Art & Build
was especially acknowledged in June2008. For the new general oce building
o the Council o Europe, the architects
received the BEX Award 2008 in the sus-
tainable building category. Each year, in-
novative projects in the eld o architec-
ture are distinguished with the awards
rom the BEX-Building Exchange inter-
national conerence.
Isidore Zielonka and Steven Beckers,managing architects o Art & Build in
Brussels and responsible or planning
and realisation o the new administra-
tion building, made some remarks con-
cerning their views about copper, build-
ing materials and sustainable planning.
Steven Beckers said: When planning
the Council o Europe building we were
lucky that we could stay very close to the
original competition design, also in termso material choice. Pre-patinated copper
was part o that design rom the very early
phases. We used this material or interior
parts and outside as well. The suraces
still have the same appearance today,
outside and inside. This is unique; with
patinated copper, there is hardly any other
material oering that long-term quality in
appearance or both applications.
Regarding sustainable building: duringmy studies, I was totally involved with
ecological topics in architecture. They
became more and more interesting and
important then, but at the same time
they were still quite distinct. Meanwhile
the whole situation has become very
complex. Today in every feld o applica-
tions you can fnd materials suddenly in
question that nobody worried about using
yesterday. This is a very conusing and
challenging situation, and our genera-
tion is the frst to ace it. At Art & Build
we investigate building materials as aras possible, o course. But our eco team
has only limited capacities in this com-
plex feld. Thereore, we have to remind
manuacturers o their responsibility over
and over again. They have to keep in mind
the consequences o material use in any
application, especially regarding high
amounts o use. Because at the end o the
day, it is always a question o resources.

Isidore Zielonka added: Despite the highimportance o ecological criteria, we must
not orget the human actor, which or me is
the most important element o all. The idea
o sustainability should be based on this in
the frst place. For me, the highest compli-
ment or my work is when somebody turns
up and says: I eel very comortable in this
building. I love to be here and to work here.
O course we keep our critical view on
every building material, also on modern
and uture developments. Today every ma-
terial has to ace critical investigation re-
garding sustainability over and over again,and this applies just as much to copper in
every respect. The responsibility o manu-
acturers in using this material is especially
high. Because copper is a beautiul, unique
and very precious material that surely will
be as important or uture generations as it
is or us today.

In an architectural competition held in 2003 the young
architects design was chosen the winner rom among
194 entries. The designers set out to ully understand
the grieving process, as well as practical issues, by
attending unerals. The resulting design aims to help the
mourner, giving space or grie. Mourners ollow a route
through a series o areas punctuated by intermediate
rooms preparing them or the next stage guided along
the route by a continuous skylight.
The new building is close to a 15th century church in
an area classied as a nationally signicant culturally
historic environment. The new chapel ties together
dierent aspects o the area without emphasising itsel.
The chapel connects with the graveyard, leaving the
old buildings with their own boundaries and territories
untouched. The chapel is also built to last, which is
obvious rom the limited palette o materials, including
copper used extensively both internally and externally.
The architects set the chapel a goal o a 200-year
lietime and a liecycle simulator was used during the
design.
The building uses similar materials as the old
structures in the area. The mass o the load-bearing
solid masonry walls balances changes in temperature
and moisture. Lightly plastered and whitewashed walls
are a bright, tranquil background or the events takingplace in the chapel spaces. The partition walls are in-
situ cast white concrete and the roo is patinated copper,
like the roo o the church. Many o the ceilings are
nished with removable, perorated copper trays. The
glazed walls toward the graveyard in the chapels are
covered with a patinated copper mesh which unctions
as a screen between the outside and the spaces o
the chapel. The mesh also decreases heat loads rom
sunshine.
An open competition was held in the all o 2007 or
art to be commissioned or the chapel. The competition
was scheduled beore the nal construction documents
were drated, so that the art could be integrated as a
seamless part o the architecture. Pertti kukkonen was
awarded the rst prize with his work the Way o the
cross. Kukkonen was able to utilize the solid masonry
walls with his work. In addition to the main pieces, the
walls have been inlaid with spirits that shine through
the light plaster surace. Pertti Kukkonen was also
responsible or hand patinating the copper suraces o
the chapel.

competition. Over the seven years they have worked together the
duo have taken part in signicant national and international ar-
chitectural competitions, with great success.
Avanto means a hole in the ice or bathing in winter a popular
hobby in Finland which symbolises the partnerships design
philosophy. They seek to create environments that evoke emo-
tions by understanding and empathising with the people using
the space; to make people eel and experience.

With this inrastructure building or the Volunteer Fire Bri-
gade, Ambulance and Mountain Rescue Services, Austrian
architects AllesWirdGut have developed a copper-clad
aesthetic that refects its mountainous context, without
overpowering its village location.
The new building orms a major landmark but maintains a low-key
presence at the same time. It appears rmly rooted to the ground
and surrounding landscape but still retains an air o lightness. Re-
sponding to its position at the entrance to the village tight up against
the main road, the building also acknowledges the smaller scalebuildings nearby by eectively representing a multiple o them.
The reduction in mass is achieved by utilising the topography and
cutting into the sloping site. Daylighting the lower levels might seem
a challenge in these circumstances but the design turns it into an op-
portunity with roo-lighting to the main circulation spine and spec-
tacularly high ceilings. Light wells are also used or below-ground
rooms cut into the slope, introducing intimate external spaces.
Apart rom glazing, the entire volume is clad in copper externally,
giving a natural, earthy hue and lively surace that harmonises with
the surrounding old armhouses and pine orests. The building be-
comes a timeless, organic, integral part o its environment.

Neues Museum in Berlin was built in the vicinity o Altes Museum
in 18431855. The Museum was designed by architect FriedrichAugust Stler. It is a signicant example o museum building tech-
nology in the 19th century.
The designer o Altes Museum, which was built in 18221830,
was architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. He is considered the men-
tor o Friedrich August Stler. Neues Museum was severely dam-
aged in the Second World War. It was closed to public or about 70
years beore reopened in October 2009.
For some 40 years ater the war, no work was carried out on the
ruins o the Museum. Renovation works started in the 1980s, and
ater the reuniting o Germany, architect David Chippereld was in
1992 commissioned to renovate the building. Chippereld won the
commission on the basis o an architectural competition. In 1999
the building was included in Unescos World Heritage List.
The renovation project based on Chipperelds designs started
in 2003. The Museum is a three-storey building. There were origi-
nally two atria, which according to the renovation plans were cov-
ered with a glass roo. The main staircase was rebuilt and two lits
were installed in the Museum. The Museum acilities are located
on three foors round the main staircase and the two atria, which
have now been covered.
Classical antiquities and arteacts rom Central Europe and an-
Nees Msem, enovatoncient Egypt are exhibited on the ground foor. The rst foor is ded-
icated to arteacts rom ancient Rome and its northern territories,as well as ancient Egypt. Stone-age, bronze-age and iron-age ar-
teacts rom Central Europe as well as the archaeology o Berlin
are displayed on the second foor.
The history o the building is visible in Neues Museum. The
damaged parts have been renovated; remaining brick structures
and riezes have been repaired. Floors and walls in the building
sections that had been best preserved have been restored; plas-
ter applications repaired and remaining foor ceramics renovated.
The old destroyed structures on the second foor, or example,
have been realised as identiably new structures.
The idea has been to maintain the space structure o the build-
ing and the rhythm o the rooms as authentic as possible, bearing
in mind the history o the building.
The lighting system used in the exhibition areas o the Museum
is based on downlights, which is an excellent solution or display
purposes. The arteacts have also primarily been placed in easily
accessible display cabinets to allow them to be viewed at close
range and lighted rom dierent directions, but still well protect-
ed. The display cabinets are made rom glass and copper struc-
tures. The dark patinated small-scale copper structures on one
hand delimit the placing o the arteacts in the space and on the

other hand vanish rom the range o vision owing to the high light
density contrast.
The structures have been produced meticulously, the restora-tion o the parts represents high-quality work and the number o
new materials is limited. The careully selected materials, such
as light exposed-aggregate concrete and small-scale copper de-
tails, as well as their implementation methods create an expres-
sion o timelessness and high standards.
Neues Museum was a signicant renovation project in early
2000s, both on European scale and worldwide.
The Museum also represents the new brick building technique
o its original construction period, mid-eighteen hundreds. The
bearing capacity o the ground on the building site o the Museum
on River Spree is poor. The same is true o most o the City o
Berlin and the reason or the majority o the buildings having ve
storeys.
The intermediate foors and roo slabs o Neues Museum were
originally realised using a brick and iron vault technique in order
to reduce the weight o the building. The bricks o the low vault
are conical, hollow brick elements with closed bottoms, so-called
fower pot bricks. They were made on the site using local clay.*
The construction is visible, ater renovation, e.g. on the ceiling on
the rst foor.

30 and countingWe hope you enjoyed this 30th issue o Copper Architecture Forum.
Its interesting to look back at what we have covered in the past and
how the magazine has developed into its current orm, taking a wider
perspective o architecture and architects. By ocusing on the architec-
ture o just one material copper we can present a unique perspec-
tive on building design not ound in mainstream architectural publica-
tions. Te editorial team maintains continuing contact with architects
internationally oten rom the earliest design stages enabling us to
bring you news o projects at dierent phases in their development and
sometimes ahead o mainstream publications.
Engaging with architects
In recent issues we have engaged with some o the most inuential
designers, including an exclusive interview with Ryue Nishizawa o
SANAA just ater winning the 2010 Pritzker
Prize. echnical topics such as environmental,
sustainability and health issues, and the latest
copper cladding techniques and products, are
regularly covered. And there is always exten-
sive coverage o projects rom around Europe
and beyond oten exploring innovative
ways o using copper in architecture.
We eature a ll types and sca le o bui ldings: rom the iconic to the de-
ceptively modest; new-builds o course, but also extensions and other
interventions with established structures; and not just acades
any architectural elements including interiors and artworks. So
times we look deeper with Close-up eatures on surace treatm
In Detailworking drawings, Sustainabilityhighlights and Refur
mentocuses. An invaluable reerence source, back issues o Co
Architecture Forum can be ound at www.copperconcept.org
In the next issue
Looking orward, we publish our next issue towards the en
2011. Tere will be a major eature on the2011 European Copp
Architecture Awards, reviewing the winning and shortlisted pro
to be announced at a ceremony in Brussels on 27th September,
exclusive interviews o the architects. What we know now is
these Awards will reveal some o the most exciting new architec
ranging rom major icon structures to small, modest but beauti
designed and crated buildings.
Apart rom the Awards, we are already working on a real diversi
copper architecture projects, as well as topical issues. Our goal
Copper Architecture Forum are to inspire and inorm architects
designers but, above all, we hope that you fnd it both stimula
and enjoyable. We do value your eedback and hope that you
send your comments and suggestions or uture projects and to
to: editorialteam@copperconcept.org. But most important o
make sure you register now to receive uture issues.
