In order to create a structure capable of spanning 350 feet across the ruins I started by researching examples structural systems that could achieve this, and precedents which used these systems. My first instinct was to use a truss to span the ruins and support the roof. Knowing that the truss would need special accommodations for spanning so far, I looked into the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, which has a truss that spans 320 feet. This truss is formed by welding typical size beams together, which produces the required stiffness and strength, but at the cost of being over 30 feet deep. After modeling a similar truss spanning over the ruins, I the structure to be too bulky. Looking for a less visually intrusive system, I started to research catenary cable structures. My first iteration at designing one involved complex curvature, which could distract too much from the ruins. My next iteration simplified it to a beam being supported by a single cable, which would be loaded in order to result in an efficient catenary form. Pleased with the catenary cable structure, I decided to explore the possibility of using columns to reduce the span distance and support the roof. I found that this method had many issues which conflicted about my concept of not damaging or interfering with the ruins. To avoid the columns landing near the ruins or having their foundations impact the ruins, I would have to spread them out far from the nave. This would mean that I am now essentially spanning perpendicularly to the nave, and after moving them far enough from the ruins to prevent any damage to them, the spanning distance would be around 150 feet and require a spanning system which may be more visually obtrusive than my first idea of using big awkward trusses. To learn more about the loads that a catenary structure would apply to my building, I researched Siza’s Portuguese Pavilion to analyze how it addresses the load from it’s concrete roof. From his plans, I learned that Siza supported his roof with a sequence of shear walls which resist the force of the roof pulling them inward. Applying this logic to my structural scheme and knowing that I would need a strong lateral bracing system which could resist the sway caused by an earthquake I started to plan out a series of shear walls. My catenary cable system consists of four trusses, the walls which support the outer trusses do not have any fenestration or need for other openings, thus making these walls primary shear walls for the buildings and bearing the load of the trusses. The inner trusses are supported by section of load bearing wall, this wall is punctured by the spaces on each floor, this wall is strengthened by joining it to the parallel wall with beams at every floor, this in a sense forms a rigid concrete Vierendeel truss. Further stability is added to the structure by designating the majority of walls between the outer and inner trusses as shear walls. Now looking to verify the rigidity of the structure, I assembled a rough mock-up to demonstrate how the cables transfer loads into the building. This mock-up was has a chain of paperclips suspended between two pieces of foamcore, which are each attached to a plywood background by two screws. The paperclip chain is loaded with nine equally spaced and evenly weighted collections of washers and nuts; under this load the chain forms a catenary arch. Without any reinforcements, the two pieces of foamcore, which are representative of the buildings, experience a large moment force, which causes them to tip inward. I thought that extending inward the walls which support the trusses would help mitigate this moment. Adding an additional screw to each side of the mock-up, I found that the foamcore resisted the moment and stood more upright. This was corrected even further when I placed a piece of plastic, which serves as the roof, between the two pieces of foamcore. This roof piece reduced the reduced the moment that the foamcore had to resist by acting as a spreader component; the horizontal component of the force from the chain is transferred directly into this plastic piece, instead of the force using the height of the foamcore as leverage, thus creating shear stress at the connections at the bottom. The forces applied to the ends of the plastic roof piece caused it to bow upwards, if the roof were to be designed with a camber or arch, then it could serve to transmit a horizontal force into the building, which would counteract the horizontal force from the truss cables; designing the roof with this shape would incorporate drainage into the form. To ensure that the roof does not cause the buildings to topple inwards, they would need a foundation which can withstand earthquakes and the various loads in the building. A typical foundation wall with a footing would not be ideal for this situation, so I instead opted to use pilings to support the building. Each floor of the museum and archive are supported by a system of precast concrete beams which rest on corbels in the load bearing concrete walls. These beams span 41 feet between the the corbels, are subjected to some high loads, and would need to be cost effective. Researching with these criteria in mind, I found that concrete double tee beams are capable of spans twice as long as my span, they can be engineered to support heavy loads, and their precast nature allows for quick, economical construction. Given that the load bearing concrete walls are left unconcealed, I decided that the floor structure should be visible to visitors too. Striving to make these beams more interesting, I began to customize them. I started with the section profile of a beam that met my criteria, I rounded the transition from the flanges into the webs to make the beam vaulted, at first I used circular curves to achieve the vaulting but I switched to using elliptical curves to help maintain the beams proportions of the flange depth to the web depth and width.

The program of the archives and vault require the air inside these spaces to be maintained within a particular temperature and humidity range to prevent the decay and deterioration of artifacts. In the galleries similar conditions are needed within the display cases and some cooling and dehumidification in the galleries too. The galleries can not be conditioned as a whole like the archives because the majority of people visiting the museum will be accustomed to much warmer interior spaces. Furthermore, there would be a considerable amount of cool air lost to the unconditioned floors adjacent to the galleries when people pass between floors; this is not as much of a concern for the archives due to their much lower occupancy levels. Leaving the galleries unconditioned is not an option because the temperature differential between inside and outside of the display cases would be prone to the formation of condensation of the glass, so the gallery spaces must be conditioned to act as a buffer between the microclimate within the display cases and the exterior Guatemalan climate. Other program areas for the most part need only minor conditioning; the cafe, bookstore, lobby, and admin offices are fine just active ventilation while being passively heated or cooled. The restoration workshop, research room, and reading room will need temporary heating, cooling, and ventilation during working hours, but artifacts are expected to return a climate controlled case or the archives during non working hours. After researching other systems and consulting with an engineer at Arup, it was determined that a variable air volume system to be the only system capable of serving the needs of the program and suitable for the climate. A variable refrigerant flow system is not reliable or consistent enough for conditioning the archives. Radiant systems would form condensation during the humid rainy season. A constant air volume system would be wasteful of energy. Using a variable air volume system addresses all of the issues other systems have; but it comes at the cost of needing room for ducts and a large air handling unit. To reduce the size of of the mechanical room, I opted to use geothermal heat pumps in order to avoid boilers, chillers, and cooling towers. The primary supply and return ducts are located in a mechanical chase in either building; from the supply duct branch ducts branch off at each level and trifurcate into three sub-floor supply ducts with floor supply grills. A single return grill near the mechanical chase allows for the room to be conditioned through the displacement of old air with new air. The mechanical chase is adjacent to the toilet rooms in both buildings, this means that the chase can be utilized for a third duct which exhausts the air from the toilet rooms.
