Awais Ayub - THA1240 Technology 3: Materials and Tectonics - Coursework 1 Attention to Detail
01 Moore Land Stranger Architect: Hugh Broughton Architects project Director : Giankica Rendina Location: Hertfordshire A visitor centre and archive buidling for the henry Moore foundation
Building formation is of three small buildings that form the so called Dane Tree house. The Home of the Henry Moore Foundation have Extended Elmwood with a large striking cor-ten clad structure.
‘A la Moore , was a very important idea in the design’, this was due to the fact that the exsiting buildings were not knocked down during the design.
Ground Floor
Entrance starts from the pavillion which is running along a landscape, facing the orginal buildings
From Article 14 this is the detal sectionthat we had worked from. Listed materials below.
“The buildings produce a trantalisingly ambigious response. It is impossible to say, decisively, wether they are contextually skillful,yet one can say that the design of the individual buildings - with one possible exceptionhas been adroit”.
First Floor
Contains three Bs 5454compliment contolled enviroment spaces. which was withdrawn in 2012. Now replaced with BSI PD 545 2012 - Guide for storage and exchibiton of archive materials.
35, 000 visitors a year for threshold experiences.

RESEARCH
Before tackling the finer details for this project, we began to gather as much research as we possibly could to aid us during the development process. Using a variety of sources such as the internet, books, magazines and contacting the architecture firm itself, we had a clearer understanding of the building layout, it’s relationship to the site and the technology (structure).
A lot of our work consisted of resarch and sketching (looking further into different materials, joints, measurements).
Looking for sections and plans online was difficult, so we also emailed the firm to ask for any more information. We recieved some more diagrams (site plan above and axos on the right) which were useful but detailed drawings were limited due to confidentiality.
The internet alone wasn’t enough to help us during this stage. For more detailed explanations and detail drawings, we visited the library and looked through a collection of construction books (referenced below).
05
We used models to help us figure out how to construct the final model and what steps we would require when putting it together.
BASE Development
This was the intial process to breakdown and undestand the componenets of the base, through sketches and models we could get a better understanding of how the base is constructed and what materials are used. This process also helped figure out the measurements which were not available as a resource from the article which we was gathering information from. In this process we used sketching, model making, sketchup and revit. Breaking down the information we had from the article we worked on figuring out the measurements from the original drawing along with elevations and plans we found from different sources.
We used revit to get a better understanding of the measurements of the base of the model and see what thickness certain materials are. We then hand drawed the detail once we had a better understanding of the way the foundations are constructed.
This is the 3D sketchup model which we created, the 3D model allowed us to seperate componenets to help us plan out the final model. It also allowed us to select the right materials so we could get a better idea of what the final 1:20 model should look like once it was built.
This was the proces from start to finish to figure out how the foundation of the building are broken down from the measurements to the materials. We experimented with different materials to see which represeant the best through the model making. Once we had figured out all the measurements we made a final revit model to guide us through making the final detail model.

Revit model: Once we had gathered all the accurate measurements, we had started making the wall section on revit. This was so we had a accurate base to work from.
WALL Development Below is wall section from our article of the choosen building. Highlighted is the s ection we worked from. on the right was our first intial sketch of the detailed wall.
Working with the Elevation, which we had recieved from the architects website. We were able to gather the measurements for the height of the wall and well as the panels and window. Development Sketches:
Placed here are rough sketches and annotations we had done in our sketch book.These notes helped us get an idea of the way the materials connected. We also annoated measurements to see how it would fit togther and the basic requirments each maertial needed in thickness and length.

Such as the louvers. 5 shows an over view 2D Model - Understanding of what the wall looks like complete. 6 shows the materials: the connection with the steel bars, blinds, Prinitng off the revit model insluation and the cladding with the louvers. and working on top of it we were able to crete this 2d Sketch up Model: model. It helped us get a better undertsanding in the wall compnants and how the materials looked like togther Using different card to show precast concrete, insulation and cladding. Using asostate paperfor the window and colour paper for the louvers as they are so thin.
Main feature of the building itself was the Cor-ten cladding. Using thick card that was water coloured to repersent the desired colour.
Above shows the process in which we had gone through with making our sketch up model. From the first image you can see a basic 3d format of what our model was to look like with the correct measurements. the second image shows a final rendered version, showing us how the materials looked in reality.

The diagram on the right shows the detailed diagram and how as we found more layers within the detail, elements started to expand, creating a clearer sense of proportion. The relationship between the materials began to make more sense which enabled us to mov eonto the next stafe og the process model making.

D During our analysis of the roof detail, we found that the section provided left us with many questions and very few answers as to what held together the cladding and roof and what steel bars were used for bonding on the roof. We began to analyse it further, creating another detail within a detail.

ROOF Development
To begin to disect the roof detail, we curated many development sketches, trying to find out what elements were involved and to fill in those gaps. Taken from the axonometric detail section from the article, we had a rough idea on the amount of layers and types of building materials the roof entailed. From the diagram given, we were able to create rough sketches of a 2-D section to help us understand the elements and relationship between the roof and wall detail.
Basic sketchup model (first stages) These three sketches show the development of the roof in proportion and size. As measurement become more precise, do did the drawings. It is from these development sketches we were able to create a 3-D visualisation of what we wanted to create.
We began to sketch out the detail section in 2-D, to get an idea of proportion and ayers within the three sectiosn of the model. The sketch below was not to scale. Through these rendered 3-D models, we were able to create a plan for our final model. Not only was this helpful when creating mock models using cardboard and foam, it was extremely helpful in showing us that there was very litle relationship between each of the materials e.g. the plsterboard and concrete, the insulation and roof. We realised there were a lot of missing answers and this model encouraged us to analyse the roof and other sections further.

ROOF Development
1 Making a start: To begin the revit model, we created the exterior cladding, extending out from the window and base.
2 The concrete panel: We then added in the pre-cast conrete roof panel which, from our initial research was 150mm
3 Plasterboard: Next, we had to add in the internal wall whcih was the plasterboard.Air gaps were also added.
4 Final elements: Finally, was definin the relationship between the roof and wall and adding in services at the bottom.
DEVELOPING PROCESS - 1 The model on the right was the first finished version of what we imagined the roof detail to look like. The proportions and layers were extracted from the original iso diagram. However, the diagram alone was not an accurate depiction of the detail. In order for us to fill in the gaps, further research had to be made into the bonding and roof membrane.
In order for us accurately curate our findings of the final roof detail, we converted them into Revit at a 1:20 scale which acted as the support throughout the final model making processes.
FINAL MODEL - 2 The image on the right displays the final revit model we created to a scale of 1:20. After further analysis of the roof detail we added an extra four layers. The final revit model includes corten steel rainscreen cladding, roof membrane, hot rolled steel I bars (100mm), 50mm insulation, hot rolled steel Z bars (200mm), pre-cast concrete panel (200mm) and 50mm plasterbaord.

BASE Final Model
This is the final model process to make the base. After collecting all the information from the research, we broke down the construction into a process to make the model. We started with the base so we have a platform to erect out model from, these are the steps we went through to construct the model base.
To construct the final base for the model we had to work in the 1:20 scale and figure how we was going to construct it with the materials which we had available. We started with the full shape and decided to split it up into three main blocks which would help when making the model. This also helped with representing the materials which made the base as they were different on each strip.
We made the main components of the base from Timber and MDF these gave a strong foundation to work from, to represent the insulation we used corrugated cardboard and grey foam for the concrete base which the plywood decking sits on.
As we had tested and planned the construction of the base in detail putting it together went quiet smooth. We came across a few problems in the early measuring stages but with the use of the 3D Google Sketchup modelling it made it clearer on how to construct the model together. The combinations of the materials used on the base helped to represent the materials separately to accurately indicate what was used in the construction of the Henry Moore Foundation.

Starting off the model we f irstly created the window, using the measuremnts from our revit model and elevation. Since as a group we had decided to lazer cut out model we had used styrene material to act as the window. Using 4mm mdf as our small connections to the base and the window. image 1 shows this being glued togther.

Images 8 and 9 show the process in which we had rusted the metal sheets to get the cor- ten colour. this was achived by using vingear and hydrogen preoxide.
Image 10 shows us glueing on the cladding to the wall base cut out. Once we had cut out the metal sheets to the right measurements, we started to mimick the cladding pattern. image 11 shows us doing the same to the blinds. Since we already did have some off cuts that had gone wrong with our floor, we used these as our blinds. Sanding them down to Images 2 shows the materials we had gathered to create the rest of the wall. Using the right measurement we covered them with the rusted cladding sheets as well. As they ply wood to act as the plaster board and the green foam from the workshop, to act as were made from Cor- ten to. the pre cast concrete. From our trip to B and Q as well as caldergrphics, we were able to get the air extract pipes and paint for our steel bars. which can be seen in Image 12 shows us clmaping the cladding wall to the inner wall componants we had done ealier. this was to make sure it was secure and done faster. Here you can get a sense images 3 and 4. of it coming togther. esepcially with the small details added with the steel bars and beams. Images 5 and 6 show our wall componants once they were done from the laer cut workshop. the images just show how they look on top of our revit model and how the Image 13 then shows us attaching the window to the base. We had added white card to the materials look along side one another. as in our final stages we had found that there was rubber under the cladding so using black card to repersent that we covered window to make it more of a stable stucture. the wall with it.This was it will be seen under the cladding. Image 14 shows us finally adding in the cladding wall with all the inner inteior wall componants. we had later added a extra wooden piece to help keep the model balanced Image 7 shows the componants being glued togther in the workshop. Once we had cut with the base. them with the machine to the right measurements we started to glue them. ยงon the image you can see the final I beams being placed.

ROOF Final Model
Although the rendered 3-D image had been modified after in-depth analysis, we still used the shape and proportions as a guide of how we wanted our final model to look like. The sketchup model helped us to imagine the final product and the revit model enabled us to finish it successfully.
The making of the roof was done in several stages. The roof was split into two sections - the first one being the whole of the cladding on the left side wall with the steel I beams and roof membrane and the second half of the roof was the steel Z bars, pre-cast concrete and plasterboard. The insulation was added to the first half (image to the far left).
Rusting the steel: -Hydrogen Peroxide -White Vinegar -Salt
