Composed of seven concentric circles with different r adii, an o rganic form clad of striated copper reminiscent of a Sonoran D e sert rock formation emerges. The curves s often the sounds i nside the b uilding, making it a good place for studying and reflection. Sound waves d issipate as they wrap around the building, s hielding the i nterior from loud outside noise. Situated in a hot and dry c limate on A rizona State University’s Tempe campus, the building acts as a shading structure as most of the building floats above the ground s upported by concrete columns. The building m erges with the trees on site acting as an extension of the tree canopy. Weather s ensors on the outside of the b uilding monitor the temperature and level of s unlight, and like a plant, open windows and turn interior shading l ouvers when a ppropriate. The automated window system s upplements the underfloor air system with natural v entilation.

CLIMATE CONSIDERATIONS The weather station used is a pprox. 4 miles away from the Wilson Hall site on ASU’s Tempe campus. The site falls within c limate zone 2B, which means it is both hot and dry. The wind rose shows months Sept. to April—the months school b uildings are most u tilized. The most f requent winds come from the east. The winds wrap around the curves of the building, r educing v ibrations and noise.

Since northwest sun is the harshest, g lazing was m inimized in that region of the b uilding. Most of the building’s glazed area is on the south to maximize w inter sun exposure; passive s olar heating.

FAÇADE
The steel façade structure hangs off of the concrete floor and column structure. This steel façade structure supports the exterior window system and striated copper panels.
SW View
The exterior façade a lternatives b etween r ecycled c opper p anel cladding and d ouble-glazed, fritted w indows. The cladding evokes the striated sandstone of the S onoran D esert. The c ladding is s eparated from the e xterior insulation by an air c avity, p reventing heat from t ransferring to the building e nvelope. An automatic window-o pening s ystem supplements the air c onditioning with n atural ventilation. Its windows open when external temperature reaches a certain t hreshold in order to control the t emperature inside.

WALL SECTION AND HVAC S
The building uses an Underfloor Diffusion System (UFAD). Chilled water comes from the basement up to the fan room on the ground floor and then up throughout the building in the core. Exhaust air rises and escapes out the edges through openings in the façade and back through the core and up through the roof.
