The Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana was built in 1942 – the ­Romans call it the “Colosseo quadrato” (Square Colosseum). Its monumental architecture with its stack of ­arcades is considered to be a neoclassical variant of Razionalismo. A few years ago, the fashion house Fendi moved its headquarters to the renovated building.

Editorial The Laws of the Series In the 1920s, a group of architects in Milan came together to form a movement that would later be known as Razionalismo. Architecture, they were convinced, must adhere to the rules of reason. They propagated the notion of “pure rhythm”, which was reflected in the repetition of individual elements as a fundamental design principle. Today, the relevance of serial production methods in architecture reach far beyond their significance at the time of Razionalismo. Repetitive structures can not only be found characterising the aesthetic appearance of buildings, they often play a decisive role in complex planning and construction processes, such as in the combination of individual modules or other industrially prefabricated elements. In our July/August issue, we present contemporary buildings that embrace the notion of the series in a variety of ways. For our Documentation section, Burkhard Franke explores examples in which aspects of repetition is used both as a design element and with respect to construction methodologies. A new social housing project by Florian Nagler in Munich, for instance, is a hybrid construction made with prefabricated wood elements (pp. 22ff.). Meanwhile, a student housing complex in Berlin that Holzer Kobler Architekturen built using shipping containers resist any sense of monotony despite their stacked arrangement (pp. 18ff.). For the exemplary French social housing buildings by Poggi & More (pp. 54ff.) near Bordeaux and by PPA architectures in Toulouse (pp. 30ff.), modular components likewise contributed to the reduction of construction costs. Are buildings produced according to serial fabrication methods invariably cost effective? In our Technology feature, Frank Kaltenbach has compiled an overview of recent solutions in refugee housing. The majority of them needed to be built within a short time period and under high budgetary constraints. The ways in which serial production methods seem to be predestined for such demanding projects can be discovered on pages 60ff. Enjoy the issue! Sandra Hofmeister redaktion@detail.de

System building using identical elements must not inevitably result in a repetitive stringency. Full height glazing and staggered triangular bay windows that increase in number floor by floor are the characteristics of the two 58 m high residential tower blocks. Directly bordering the railway line, they form the first highpoints in a series of office towers of equal height along the approach to Munich Central Train Station and also flank the busy Friedenheimer Bridge. In design terms the towers, which have five-storey plinths, are linked by their uniform building envelopes, but differ clearly from the hotel buildings in the district and the neighbourhood. The bay windows not only create an unmistakeable appearance, without allowing a glimpse of the neighbouring apartment they offer views along the ­facades which – combined with a room height of 2.85 m – create an impression of spatial generosity. This benefits above all the compact apartments on the north facade that face towards the park of Schloss Nymphenburg, but also the south side apartments with a view of the Alps, from whose bay windows the inner city silhouette is visible. The large areas of glazing obtained planning approval as the development plan originally envisaged office towers on this site. The demands of noise protection played a major role in designing the building envelope. While the glazing in the 2.90 m high and up to 2.90 m wide facade elements is fixed, in each apartment at least one element has an additional narrow, glazed opening casement as well as an opaque ventilation flap behind a baffle that serves as wind protection. The fresh air intake for the controlled ventilation system is integrated in the facade and the air flows through ducts in the suspended ceiling. Instead of individual outdoor areas in the ­apartments, there is a generously sized roof terrace for use by all of the residents. The facade elements were mounted from vertically travelling work platforms, positioned along the edges of the building shell, which spanned across the entire front of the building between crane-like scaffolding supports.

Natural choice to join old with new

Liquid-applied membrane specified for easy-to-use and solvent-free qualities

The new wing of a 19th century Grade II* listed monastery in Manchester has been topped by 9,000 roofing slates from Welsh Slate. The 500 ≈ 300 mm Penrhyn Heather Blue County-grade slates were used on the £3 million Welcome Wing extension, comprising reception, function and community spaces with dedicated education, health and well-being facilities.

Kemperol 2K-PUR by Kemper System was specified for refurbishing the roof of the Greenwich Theatre in London, which was no longer watertight, and to prevent further water ingress into the four-storey building. The cold-applied liquid waterproofing was chosen for its solvent-free, odourless qualities on the occupied building, together with the quick installation time.

Gorton Monastery was designed by Edward Pugin and after years of neglect underwent major restoration work ten years ago. The slates for the new extension, on roof pitches of 55 � and 24 � with variable head lap, were key in tying the buildings together.

After extensive repair and surface cleaning of the 500 sq.m asphalt roof, the resin was applied in a single wet-on-wet process, rolled on to the roof with a reinforcement fleece laid directly into the resin, immediately followed by more resin to ensure complete saturation of the fleece. When cured it forms a seamless, elastomeric waterproof membrane that cannot delaminate, is UVstable and bonds directly to the substrate.

A look at the production of natural slate is available in an RIBA-approved site CPD from Welsh Slate. The factory tour CPD covers the core curriculum subjects of structural design, construction, technology and engineering to a general awareness knowledge level and earns architects double CPD points. It includes a 4 ≈ 4 tour of the main Penrhyn quarry in Bethesda, near Bangor which explains today’s methods of slate extraction in North Wales. www.welshslate.com

Because the 2K-PUR system is suited to complex detailing, this meant a new, upand-over staircase was able to be installed whilst still providing a seamless waterproofing solution. A Kemperdur anti-slip walkway for safe maintenance traffic was added to complete the works. Kemperol 2K-PUR was also used by Capitol Roofing to refurbish an 85 m-high food silo

on London’s River Thames. The work needed to be swiftly completed to prevent water leaking into a silo containing linseed. The product was chosen for use on the roof and expansion joints around the perimeter of the silo because of its ease of application on this difficult-to-access project. Also, due to the exposed location of the silo, high winds were a cause for concern and the handling and laying of sheet membrane materials would have increased the health and safety risk, so this liquid-applied system was the preferred option. The contractors were able to install the system on top of the existing felt roof. After cleaning and priming the substrate, the resin was applied in the same way as with the previous project. Stuart Hicks at Kemper System commented: “The plant was first built in 1902 and has expanded over the years to provide more milling and processing silos for speciality feed ingredients. Kemperol 2K-PUR’s speed and ease of installation meant the plant could continue to function with very little disruption.” The seamless and durable waterproofing system has a BBA-accredited 25-year service life. www.kempersystem.co.uk

Design trends catered for with standard and bespoke vinyl offerings

Good for walking the plank

Refurbishment and new-build vinyl flooring solutions from Gerflor are designed to cater for developers, builders and local housing authorities. In a choice of designs embracing decorative trends they come with extra thermal, comfort, acoustic and performance benefits, says the company.

Havwoods has introduced seven new plank designs to its Henley engineered wood flooring collection. There are now more than 30 distinctive designs in the range, which features European oak lamella, with a variety of surface finishes achieved by brushing, burning and planing, to create a highly textural appeal. This is also said to make them a good choice for high-footfall areas.

Texline flooring is a Gerflor Fibre Technology (GFT) loose-lay, luxury, domestic sheet vinyl with leading technology designed to bring fresh alternatives to projects where looks, performance and fast-track fitting are priorities. At 3 mm thick, it is thermally efficient and sound insulated to 16 db. The Creation 30 LVT collection offers 56 designs in traditional and creative wood, mineral and textile effects. With three different installation method ranges – Creation 30 Adhered, Creation 30 Lock and Creation 30 X’Press – the tiles and planks have a

0.30 mm wear layer and a PUR+ protective surface for easy cleaning and lasting good looks. Decorative skirtings are available. Taralay Impression Control safety flooring comes in 2 m sheet format with a Group T wear rating as a dual collection, Safety in Wood and Safety in Design, comprising realistic woods in contemporary colours and an array of modern designs. The company also creates customised flooring solutions for sport, health and community facilities, with its My Taralay service. In four designs and 150 colours, this offers a huge number of combinations and the floor can be viewed on screen prior to ordering. Water-jet cutting enables bespoke designs and logos to be created, further enhancing choice. www.gerflor.co.uk

Henley is described as an ideal floor covering for use where a textured board is desired that offers all the strength and durability of an engineered construction. Amongst the new designs, Holten rustic-grade 14 mm flooring (seen above) is fine-sawn and deep-smoked with a white oiled finish and the Dexter character-grade 20 mm board, below, is a one-strip pattern, sawn and smoked with a natural oiled finish. www.havwoods.co.uk

Brigida González is an architectural photographer whose compelling images reveal her unmistakable artistic signature. Following a classic training in photography, the Stuttgart native ­ventured into the film industry where she worked as a camera woman, before discovering architectural photography for herself. Today, the building images she captures with her lens register subtle emotions and a sense of dynamics that fascinate the viewer. Discovering new perspectives that reveal architecture in a new light is a matter of course for González. Her photographs endow buildings with a sense of character that corresponds to their essence, while nonetheless remaining an interpretation of the photographer. For this issue of Detail, she photographed the high-rise residential buildings in Munich’s Hirschgarten quarter designed by Allmann Sattler Wappner (see pp. 48ff.). www.brigidagonzalez.de

Burkhard Franke works as an architect, editor, university professor and photographer. He developed the concept of the current issue of Detail dedicated to serial building methods, for which he contributed three of the project documentations. For the past nine years, he has supported the editorial team as a freelance editor, regularly writing expert articles for Detail and Detail structure. He previously worked as a research assistant in the Architecture department at the Technical University in Munich and taught students as a visiting professor at Arizona State University. His passion for photography has led him to produce classic architectural images as well as artistic works. Burkhard’s primary occupation, however, is as an architect. The focus of his work currently lies in architectural evaluations and competition submissions for various architectural firms in Bavaria. He prepares the majority of his award-winning designs in his one-person studio in Munich, and leads his clients’ teams through more complex competitions. www.burkhard-franke.de

Poggi&More One of the best things in life is when fate brings together people who both value and complement each other. In the summer of 2011, such fortuitous circumstances united Emmanuelle Poggi (2nd from left), Francis Marchionini, Olivier Oslislo, and Elise Reiffers. The four architects from Bordeaux decided to team up for special projects through their firms Poggi Architecture and More Architecture. They have participated in competitions and implemented projects such as the White Clouds social housing block in Saintes, which we document on pages 58ff. The bold architectural language of the four friends is characterised by their joy of experimentation, preference for clear structures, and close attention to context, in rural and urban areas alike. www.poggiarchitecture.com www.more-architecture.com
