The cottages are clad with burnt hardwood paneling. The layered wall system combines multiple materials in order to create a perfect barrier between the environment and the interior. The varied materials ensure that moisture, temperature, air and vapor are regulated.

The exterior is reflected in the interior through strips of light-colored timber that line the walls and ceilings. These timber strips are spaced exactly the same as the exterior paneling. The interior also boasts polished concrete floors and a monotone color palette.

The austere structure becomes one with the vibrancy of the sky. The cold concrete is softened by the organic texture molded onto its facade. The landscaping also helps create a warm and welcoming structure.

Clyfford Still Museum Monolithic Wall System Introduction

Architect: Allied Works Architecture Location: Denver, CO Year Completed: 2011

Elizabeth Orlian

A prime example of a monolithic wall system as it consists of concrete walls that were cast-inplace. Light plays a major role in the experience of the space. The entry is very dark and each gallery displays different levels of light by way of skylights.

Clyfford Still Museum Monolithic Wall System

Elizabeth Orlian

Clad in an eye catching curtain wall of alternating acid etched, reflective and clear glass. The result is a sleek and modern facade with a unique striped pattern. The curtain wall reflects the vegetation and surrounding landscape and draws individuals into the space to promote community and collaboration.

Assignment 1B

Using Assignment One (A) as a launching point, produce supporting diagrams and an axonometric diagram to identify the major systems of each case study.

Some speculation may be necessary, so back up your descriptions by providing technically appropriate explanations.

Draw a wall section diagram, plan detail diagram through a building fenestration, and an overall exterior axon diagram at a scale of 1/4” = 1’-0”.

Identify the 4 major systems of each case study.

Foundation System

Floor System

Wall System

Roof System

List the major components of each system in order from the interior face to the outer. Include brief annotations describing the materials and purpose/function of each component. Include small photos of any components that you are not familiar with next to the annotations.

Assignment 1C

Select one case study assembly from Assignment One (B) to further explore in greater detail and understanding. Draw and annotate a wall section, an exterior wall plan detail, a partition section detail and an elevation detail. Each drawing should show enough information to convey how it’s assembled, and the components relate to each other.

Draw a wall section, an exterior plan detail, a partition section detail and an elevation detail of each case study at a scale of 3/4" = 1’-0”. Research your local energy code requirements to determine the R-value required for the building envelope. The r-value is also determined by the climate zone in your local jurisdiction.

Identify the assemblies of the 4 major systems: Foundation System Floor System Wall System Roof System

List components of each assembly referring to the annotations of assignment One B in order from interior to the outer face. Elaborate upon the descriptions of each component’s material purpose/function and performance.
