Shown here is a competition visual for The Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw - but how will it look in reality? You can find out in our next issue. The competition-winning design, by Architects Lahdelma & Mahlamäki (working in conjunction with Kurylowic & Associates in Poland) aims to create a ‘lantern in the park’. The design features a layered facade design using pre-patinated copper in combination with glazing. The play of advanced LED lighting behind the decorated glass on the green corrugated copper will play a key role in this luminescence.
The European Copper in Architecture Campaign was set up by panEuropean and local industry associations with the support of participating copper fabricators to promote copper and its alloys in architectural applications. It achieves this through various means, principally:

típica casa rural de Luxemburgo (p 26-29). En una escala más grande, la nueva ampliación de un almacén restaurado en Londres (p 12-15), utiliza un revestimiento de bronce para reflejar la cubierta a dos aguas del edificio original, creando una composición unificada. Un enfoque similar se utiliza para la ampliación de una iglesia de Londres (p 32-33). La relación entre edificios modernos y antiguos también se explora con la nueva casa de campo Orangerie en Holanda (p 8-11), incorporando un pabellón acristalado con una cubierta verde de cobre prepatinado que establece un vínculo con la casa original. Un enfoque más literal se adopta en una nueva planta de tratamiento de aguas en Varsovia (p 2225), con una clara referencia a las ventanas y los tejados a dos aguas de sus vecinos del siglo XIX. Aquí, el cobre juega un papel más tradicional como material de cubierta. También consideramos el papel desempeñado por el cobre de diferentes formas, para regenerar algunos edificios poco sugerentes del siglo XX (p 16-17 y p 30-31). Terminamos como empezamos, con otro ejemplo de una intervención de cobre que remodela el entorno urbano de su huésped más antiguo – en esta ocasión, los antiguos baños públicos en Thiene, Italia (p 36-38). Se trata de un edificio redundante al que se le da una nueva vida como centro juvenil definido por la adición de un caparazón de cobre. Esperamos que disfruten de este viaje por todos estos proyectos inspiradores, donde el cobre actúa como un catalizador para la regeneración urbana y la invención arquitectónica.
COPPER ARChitECtuRE
Este número está dedicado al ingenio de los arquitectos para regenerar los espacios en los que vivimos y trabajamos, para preservar y adaptar los paisajes urbanos y los edificios existentes dándoles nuevos usos de forma sostenible y ahorrando recursos. Aunque esto también lleva consigo un desafío para los diseñadores, teniendo que desarrollar su particular interpretación de la historia dentro del contexto del siglo XXI. Los proyectos que presentamos en este número muestran diferentes formas de afrontar este desafío que van desde las intervenciones en estructuras existentes, hasta nuevos edificios que interactúan con los antiguos para remodelar el paisaje urbano. Sin embargo, todas ellas tienen un nexo en común: las diferentes y numerosas posibilidades arquitectónicas que ofrecen el cobre y sus aleaciones. Nuestro tema de portada es una clara muestra de ello. En este caso, las formas revestidas de latón se integran dentro del tejido urbano, aportando un entorno renovado a la Catedral de Lund. Con un estado inicial luminoso y moderno, las superficies de bronce pronto se irán oscureciendo y evolucionarán, adquiriendo una calidad atemporal. La misma calidad se muestra en las intervenciones con cobre preoxidado de una histórica villa italiana (p 18-21), creándose ejes de circulación adaptados a la nueva función hotelera del edificio. La naturaleza eterna y permanente del cobre se ve reforzada por los elementos de latón incorporados a un castillo español (p 34-35). En este caso, no se busca una referencia literal sino una estética abstracta totalmente acorde con las ruinas del castillo. Este enfoque guarda paralelismos con el uso del cobre para expresar las nuevas adiciones de una

En el interior, el espacio dominante es el vestíbulo de entrada conectado con la plaza de la catedral y Kungsgatan. Con su atrio de doble altura, es un agradable lugar de encuentro utilizado para recepciones, exposiciones y cócteles, dominado por las oficinas de la planta superior. Aquí, la solidez de las paredes de hormigón con la textura de la madera natural contrasta con la transparencia creada por las mamparas totalmente acristaladas.

Una Puerta de Entrada para los Visitantes Carmen Izquierdo añade que “el edificio crea interesantes espacios secuenciales exteriores e interiores y será una puerta de entrada para los visitantes de la catedral y un foro para el debate y el estudio en profundidad. El nuevo edificio tiene un diseño simple pero expresivo que interactúa con el paisaje urbano circundante a través de sus ángulos y declives. El latón se eligió para la piel externa del nuevo edificio por tratarse de un material natural que aporta una superficie rica y vibrante. A medida que el material evoluciona con el paso del tiempo, el edificio se integrará poco a poco con el paisaje urbano.“ En su estado nuevo y brillante, el edificio transmite su energía y exige una respuesta de los visitantes. Sin embargo, a medida que el latón se oscurece de forma natural con el paso del tiempo durante los primeros años, adquirirá una calidad más sutil e intemporal. Las formas y el movimiento del edificio consiguen preservar las importantes vistas históricas y, al mismo tiempo, crear nuevas perspectivas. También se generaron espacios públicos más íntimos y variados, tanto alrededor como dentro del nuevo edificio. En su inauguración el año pasado, el obispo Antje Jackelén describió acertadamente el nuevo edificio como “el abrazo prolongado de la catedral”.

Continuidad de Cobre La interpretación de los arquitectos Braaksma & Roos de la casa de campo Orangerie utiliza el cobre para asegurar la continuidad contextual pero, como explican a continuación, se trata de un material muy moderno. Por encargo de SAS Institute Inc., desarrollamos un plan para su sede en los Países Bajos. SAS (antes conocida como “Statistical Analysis System”) tiene su base en una gran casa de campo histórica en Huizen. Cuando la empresa contactó con nosotros, la casa contaba con una deteriorada ala de prolongación de principios de la década de 1960. La esencia de nuestro concepto de diseño radica en la sustitución de esta prolongación con una interpretación contemporánea de la Orangerie, una tradicional edificación anexa asociada con las grandes casas de campo. Se pensó que fuera una adición coherente con el contexto histórico de la casa original, que al mismo tiempo destacase como un edificio muy moderno.

La casa original se define principalmente por el yeso blanco con el vidrio como material adicional, mientras que la nueva Orangerie está prácticamente construida de vidrio con elementos internos secundarios ejecutados como cajas blancas de yeso. Toda la cubierta de la Orangerie está revestida de cobre, al igual que los salientes curvados originales de la casa. Para las puertas principales de la elevación este, se utilizaron pantallas perforadas de cobre prepatinado, dándole a la Orangerie un aire de transparencia.

Cobre Transparente Con la transparencia de las fachadas de cobre perforado y de vidrio y con su separación física, la Orangerie se distingue de la casa principal y el paisaje circundante “fluye” a través de su espacio. Para difuminar aún más la transición desde el interior al exterior, el suelo interior de piedra se extiende hacia fuera siguiendo el contorno de la proyección de la cubierta. Una superficie de madera se extiende en torno a este suelo de piedra, contando con una mayor anchura en el lado sur para formar una bonita terraza.
La función principal de la Orangerie en su planta baja es la de recepción y bienvenida (“Meet & Greet”), en gran parte dentro de la zona de comedor. En esta planta también se encuentran una sala de conferencias y un auditorio separado en una zona interior y otra exterior. La primera planta dispone de dos oficinas abiertas, así como pequeños despachos, mientras que los espacios secundarios están contenidos dentro de las cajas blancas. Por encima de estas cajas, en el lado norte, la cubierta de cobre se levanta como un sombrero para albergar la salida de aire.

Pollard Thomas Edwards architects
UNA FUSIÓN DE LO MODERNO Y LO ANTIGUO
Este proyecto muestra la creación de una nueva vida para edificios antiguos, con instalaciones que satisfacen las necesidades del siglo XXI y sin dejar de respetar y celebrar su integridad. Una nueva ampliación con un revestimiento de bronce supone una declaración dramática y una intervención delicada - el conjunto es una armoniosa fusión de lo moderno y lo antiguo. Situado en el Área de Conservación Riverside Abbey Road de Roding Valley en el este de Londres, el edificio del granero, protegido por su interés local, había estado desocupado y abandonado durante bastante tiempo y necesitaba urgentemente una restauración completa para volver a usarse de nuevo. En 2009 se le concedió la licencia de obras a un diseño realizado por Schmidt Hammer Lassen (SHL) para un nuevo barrio de industrias creativas centrado en los antiguos edificios del granero y la fábrica de cerveza.
Un Toque Ligero Se eligió al estudio de arquitectura ’Pollard Thomas Edwards architects’ (PTEa), para desarrollar el diseño de SHL - en esencia se buscaba optimizar el uso del espacio tanto en los edificios nuevos como en los antiguos y, al mismo tiempo, preservar el carácter original y las referencias históricas. Aunque para reparar y restaurar la estructura original se necesitó una obra importante, en la medida de lo posible el espíritu de la conversión fue la restauración sensible - un toque ligero. El granero restaurado con su nueva ampliación revestida en bronce, será la nueva sede de la empresa Rooff y contará también con otros usuarios creativos y comerciales. Rooff ha introducido métodos de construcción sostenible para proporcionar un entorno de trabajo de alta calidad a un coste viable. La nueva ampliación es respetuosa con el edificio original y se inspira en la forma de su cubierta a dos aguas. Los nuevos materiales, sobre todo los paneles de bronce, complementan aún más el original. La entrada se abre directamente a un núcleo central de circulación vertical entre las dos alas, que ha sido cuidadosamente integrado en la estructura del antiguo edificio - con unos materiales modernos, un color y una iluminación que complementan el origen histórico del mismo. Este núcleo le da un corazón nuevo y dinámico a la edificación, totalmente accesible al público. El nuevo edificio se une al ya existente a través del núcleo de circulación vertical y de un puente que sirve de enlace en un nivel superior.

Catalizador de la Regeneración La renovación del granero y la construcción de la nueva y sorprendente ampliación con un revestimiento de bronce forman parte de la primera fase de los objetivos de regeneración del área ubicada a orillas del río Roding y se considera un importante catalizador para una mayor regeneración de la zona. Este proyecto supone un ejemplo de buenas prácticas de diseño y conservación y fue premiado en el apartado “Comercial” de los World Architecture News Awards en 2011.

ENTREVISTA Chris Hodson dialoga sobre el diseño del revestimiento de bronce en este proyecto con Andrew Stokes, arquitecto del proyecto del estudio ’Pollard Thomas Edwards architects’. CH: ¿Cómo se desarrolló el diseño de la ampliación? AS: En un principio, trabajando con SHL, utilizamos técnicas tales como el estudio de las relaciones volumétricas, para explorar la forma, el diseño de aperturas o la insolación.

14 COPPER ARCHITECTURE FORUM 32/2012
CH: ¿Qué os llevó a la elección del revestimiento de bronce para la nueva ampliación? AS: La propuesta inicial de SHL utilizaba acero Corten, pero se sustituyó por cobre debido a las preocupaciones del cliente sobre la erosión y la impermeabilización. Posteriormente, se consideraron el cobre, el bronce y el latón junto con otros materiales metálicos, pero al final elegimos el bronce. La intención era darle a la ampliación una estética moderna que contrastara de forma dinámica con el contexto histórico, mientras que al mismo tiempo reconoce esta historia mediante el uso de un material de construcción tradicional como el bronce o el cobre.
Plano de la 3ª planta
CH: ¿También considerasteis los cambios en el material con el paso del tiempo? AS: La resistencia a las condiciones climáticas también fue fundamental, dado que la cubierta es muy visible y evolucionará con el tiempo de manera diferente a las superficies verticales. Nos informaron que, en el corto y medio plazo, el bronce seguramente evolucionaría un poco más uniformemente. CH: ¿Y la sostenibilidad y los aspectos medioambientales? ¿Fueron importantes? AS: Sí, definitivamente. Al igual que el cobre, el bronce tiene unas credenciales sostenibles sólidas y probadas en materia de durabilidad y vida útil, no necesita prácticamente mantenimiento y puede ser totalmente reciclado. CH: ¿Cómo se consiguió el excelente diseño de las fachadas? AS: Utilizamos maquetas de trabajo para explorar diferentes formas de expresión del revestimiento metálico, por ejemplo, la forma y el tamaño de los paneles y la dirección de las juntas: verticales, horizontales o inclinadas. La forma del edificio requería de un enfoque más tridimensional, ya que la cubierta es esencialmente una pared inclinada, y estas maquetas nos han permitido comprender la interacción de elementos clave como ventanas y clarabo-

yas, con diversas configuraciones de paneles metálicos. Las maquetas nos permitieron explorar soluciones para mantener la integridad de la forma de prismatóide mediante la creación de una apariencia similar en todas las caras del edificio, no sólo en términos de revestimiento, sino también en la forma y el detalle de las ventanas y la iluminación natural a través del tejado, que preferimos denominar como „ventanas de tejado“ en lugar de claraboyas tradicionales. CH: ¿Qué pensáis del revestimiento de bronce una vez terminado? AS: Estamos muy contentos con el resultado final. El bronce está evolucionando bien, los detalles de las esquinas son nítidos y limpios, y las juntas verticales y el formato horizontal de los paneles se integran bien con el tamaño y la ubicación aleatoria de las ventanas. Las ondulaciones sutiles de los paneles suavizan el aspecto ‚novedoso‘ de la ampliación, la cual combina muy bien con la pátina que nos hemos esforzado por mostrar en los edificios históricos. Se prestó una especial atención, en colaboración con el instalador del revestimiento, a las conexiones de otros materiales con el revestimiento y al detalle y la disposición de todas las juntas, lo que ha dado sus frutos en el aspecto final del edificio.

Timeless
COPPER In its inspirational rural setting at the foot of Italy’s Monferrato Hills, Rocca Civalieri was the summer sanctuary of Piedmontese nobles from the late Middle Ages. The villa and its associated buildings have now been restored, adapted and drawn together by a thoroughly contemporary, copper-clad intervention which fully respects the original building fabric, to create a convention centre, hotel and spa.
A timeless skin of pre-oxidised copper is used to express the new additions, starting as a ‘rusticated’ base to the original classical villa. The horizontally stratified dark copper then develops into a new spa building which defines and divides separate external areas either side. The overall composition aims to create “a place with clearly recognizable connotations – respecting the existing architectonic and landscape values.” As architect Stefania Masera explained: “The demands of a building complex accommodating various different functions but still presenting itself as unitary whole suggested the creation of new circulation routes on two levels leading into a new addition. This addition then defines a new, open, main entrance courtyard to the complex. It also establishes, in conjunction with existing buildings now converted to bedrooms and suites, a more intimate courtyard characterised by a central, light timber pergola structure. The copper additions draw together the diversity of buildings and their spatial organisation, creating a place with clearly recognizable connotations.”
COPPER ARCHITECTURE FORUM 32/2012

Alterations to the original fabric have been minimised and focused on the creation of flexible spaces to meet changing needs of the complex. On the ground floor, in addition to entrance, reception and bar, there are various communal and meeting rooms. The first floor houses a conference room with a small foyer and restaurant with kitchen and staff room, and hotel rooms and suites occupy the second floor.

Copper Roofs Commissioned in 1876, the Filtry Waterworks was designed by British engineer William Lindley, who had previously gained recognition working with railways and, particularly, municipal infrastructure projects in numerous European cities. He designed the first underground sewers in continental Europe and, together with his sons, he designed systems for cities in Germany and elsewhere – including St. Petersburg, Budapest, Prague and Moscow – also turning his attention to urban planning. At Warsaw, he created a water purification system that continued to operate until the latest regeneration work. Here, he also collaborated with the architect Julian Herde with a complex of buildings generally faced with red ceramic tiles and decorative sandstone elements. Roofs were metal sheet on structural steel and windows steel-framed. A key aspect of Filtry’s success in its urban context is the green landscape covering about 70% of the site area. This unique and historic infrastructure complex is ‘protected’ locally and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Upgrading Performance The well-loved landmark endured various changes after the 19th-century including additions in the 1970’s which took no account of the local environment and attached no importance to the original buildings’ scale and form. In the mid-1980s, restoration of the original buildings began under the current architect, Richard Sobolewski of Dorjon International, including replacement of the zinc-coated iron plate roofs with copper. Technical and performance requirements have driven the latest, recently completed new treatment building. Water quality has now been improved within modern parameters and in line with European Union standards, and the use of chlorine dioxide for water disinfection and treatment has also been substantially reduced.

residence. The attached barn was being used as a garage and shed and the idea was to transform this huge empty volume into a new living room with a kitchen and to alter the existing cottage as little as possible. Various considerations influenced our design. The existing cottage has very small windows which give uninteresting views of neighbouring buildings, roofs and streets. The owners wanted views of their own property, gardens and the landscape. The existing stairs in the cottage were narrow, too steep and considered to be dangerous. It was decided that they should be replaced with wider and less steep staircases for safety and comfort.

As the cottage will now be used by older people wishing to spend the rest of their lives there, it seemed obvious to design the layout in preparation for potential future mobility issues. As a result, it was necessary to locate a kitchen, living room, office, sanitary facilities and sleeping rooms all on the ground floor of the building, whilst the cottage. From an architectural point of view, we considered it necessary to clearly define the new parts of the building and the existing 19th century building. The owners wished to retain the authenticity of the existing cottage, which was probably built between 1805 and 1820.

Working with the interior designer, our analysis of the owners’ proposal rapidly revealed that the barn was not big enough to accommodate the new living room and kitchen. Moreover, there were not enough windows on the facade to allow sufficient light into the living room and they did not offer the desired views of the landscape and the property. It was therefore obvious that an extension was necessary. In accordance with the wishes of the owners, the forms of the new volumes signal a contrast between our way of living now and the way we lived some 200 years ago. As a result, the old and the new are interrelated - yet provide a
contrasting effect. The transition from old to new does not operate on one precise borderline but rather by the effects of transparency and sightlines from old to new and vice versa. The new, very large plate glass windows open the perspectives up to the more set back

The designers, Architektenburo Ten Hove, commented:
“We deliberately chose copper for the mesh skin, where the colour of the material naturally changes over time and therefore indicates the age of the building.” Using a grid of equilateral triangles gives freedom from the constraints of linear structures and, with the copper mesh, diffuses the box surfaces externally. But internally, the mesh screen still allows clear views to the outside while providing solar shading, and inward opening windows allow ventilation and cleaning.

Copper for house on the rock Regeneration of this 19th century London church involved an extensive refurbishment programme to return the building to its former use. But it also involved a modern extension to provide a permanent home for the growing, 3,000 or so, congregation of the Nigerian-based‚ House on the Rock‘ church, as architects Paul Davis + Partners describe.
St George’s Church in the Tufnell Park Conservation Area was built in 1867 as a historical, circular building based on a 5th Century Greek Church and modelled on Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The building has had a colourful past. Saved from demolition in 1973, actor George Murcell turned the church into the St George’s Theatre. More recently it fell into the hands of squatters and it was only when they were finally evicted in 2006 that the project was able to commence. As well as its primary function as a church, the building is also used as a community 32 COPPER ARCHITECTURE FORUM 32/2012
centre, adult learning centre, crèche and a venue for other social events. To meet these demands, a new, copper-clad extension creates a contemporary architectural solution – contrasting with the church aesthetic, yet remaining subservient to the original building and making no attempt to emulate its style. This modern 2-storey extension links the existing church and the bell tower and provides flexible multi-purpose spaces to meet the needs of both church and community. The new intervention is separated from the original fabric of the church by a continuous band of glazing.
Matching the contemporary materiality of the new building with the stone and slate of the existing church provided a welcome opportunity to explore solutions for an ever-occurring challenge. Copper, with timber cladding and glass, provided the answer with a naturally changing surface and an air of permanence. The designers endeavoured to minimise energy demand by considering the embodied energy of materials and using recycled materials wherever possible.

Castle entrance approached via the straight staircase bridge with curved brass handrail.
A gradual regeneration is taking place to the ancient Ribadavia Castle in the Ourense area of north-west Spain, heralded by new brass elements transforming the entrances to the castle. Architect Miguel Angel Calvo Salve describes his approach to these interventions, which add an ageless simplicity and sense of permanence.

URBAN SHELL Architect Luisa Fontana explains how a shell-like copper and glass intervention regenerates a disused public bath house and reorientates the building to define a new urban square.
The original, early 20th century building had been unused for over 40 years and its previously hidden, undistinguished rear façade was exposed by the creation of a new public square in the 1980s. The restoration and expansion of the building provided an opportunity to redefine a new urban role. The European funded project is for a new Centre for Cultural Activities for Youth and is unique in Italy. It provides a link between the University and the World of Employment, creating an international focus to serve the local community.

A Bold Approach The regeneration – carried out in conjunction with engineers Arup (structure and energy strategies) and Manens (installation) – reflects a bold architectural and urban planning approach. It involves restoration of the original building and addition of a new volume, in the form of “shell” made of steel, copper and glass. The profile of the shell develops a close relationship with its urban context. It is ‘closed’ next to the old buildings, form-

Energy Independent The building is also an example of smart design and energy self-sufficiency, to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions. Dynamic thermal modelling software, developed for the Arup building energy simulation, enabled solutions to be optimized and energy saving benefits quantified. The project has achieved an ‘A’ certification in the Eco Domus energy class with a system developed by VI. Energy. The result is an integrated organism, energy independent from the network, where climate and environment interact. Various renewable techniques are incorporated including geothermal energy, the pre-heating of primary air through an underground maze and self-generation of electricity using biodiesel. The design optimizes natural lighting and ventilation, while the building materials provide a high performance, thermal inertia envelope.

The competition-winning design, by Architects Lahdelma & Mahlamäki (working in conjunction with Kurylowic & Associates in Poland) aims to create a ‘lantern in the park’. The design features a layered facade design using pre-patinated copper in combination with glazing. The play of advanced LED lighting behind the decorated glass on the green corrugated copper will play a key role in this luminescence.

sion to a restored London warehouse (p 12–15) uses bronze cladding to define its thoroughly contemporary massing. In this case, an uncompromising form reflects the gabled profile of the original, creating a unified composition. A similar but lower key approach is taken with a London church extension (p 32–33). The relationship of new and old linked buildings is also explored with a new country house ‘orangery’ (p 8–11) in the Netherlands. This fresh take on an old typology is a heavily glazed pavilion with a curved, green pre-patinated copper roof which bonds it with the original house. A more literal stance is taken with Warsaw’s new water treatment plant (p 22–25) that refers strongly to the gabled forms and curved-head windows of its 19th century neighbours. Here, copper plays a more traditional role as a roofing material. And we consider the part played by copper in different forms – transparent and modulated – to regenerate uninspiring 20th century buildings (p 16–17 and p 30–31). We end as we began, with another example of a copper intervention reshaping the urban context of its older host – this time the former public baths in Thiene, Italy (p 36–38). Here, a redundant building has been given a new life as a unique youth centre defined by organic, curved copper shell additions. We hope you enjoy this journey around these inspirational projects, where copper acts as a catalyst for inventive architectural and urban regeneration.
COPPER ARChitECtuRE
This entire issue is dedicated to the ingenuity of architects in regenerating the environments that we live and work in. Preserving and adapting existing buildings and townscapes to suit new uses is sustainable, saving on resources and making the most of assets. But it also carries with it a challenge for designers in developing their particular interpretation of history and context for the 21st century. The diverse projects that we explore here demonstrate different approaches to this challenge and range from additions and interventions with existing structures, to new buildings interacting with the old to reshape urban areas. But one common strand runs through them all: the unique and numerous possibilities offered by copper and its alloys for architectural expression. Our cover story ably demonstrates this. Here, brass-clad forms worm their way amongst the urban fabric, defining new vistas and a fresh focus on Lund Cathedral. Initially bright and modern, the brass surfaces will soon darken and mellow, taking on a timeless feel. The same quality applies to the pre-oxidised copper interventions to an historic Italian villa (p 18–21), redirecting axes and circulation to suit the building’s new role as a hotel. Copper’s ageless and permanent nature is further reinforced by the brass elements added to a Spanish castle (p 34–35). Here, there is no pretence at literal reference but an abstract aesthetic totally in keeping with the massive stone remains. This approach has parallels with the use of copper to clearly express modern additions to a traditional Luxembourg village house (p 26–29). On a bigger scale, the new exten-
