INTRODUCTION COMMMUNITY LIBRARY JALAN TAR, KUALA LUMPUR Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, or Jalan TAR as it is fondly known, is many things to many people. To the ones who have made their homes there, the area was the place for shopping and food before numerous malls started to mushroom all across the city during the ‘90s.

Despite the passing of time and onslaught of development in and around the streets, Jalan TAR still remains a popular place for bargain shopping as well as cheap and delicious food, especially during festivals and public holidays. In terms of architectural development, most are pre-war buildings which distinctive facades have been preserved and re-adapted to accommodate modern retail businesses.

The library that I am designing for Jalan TAR serves mainly to empower the local community to learn, not just through intellectual resources, but also learn through each other.

Due to the diverse needs of ever-changing community, a community library needs to be adaptable, to be ready to respond to change. This library is made to encapsulate these differences through transparency in both program and design. Moreover, this library takes the future into its own hands by providing to the needs of the community.

Community innovation and involvement are also implemented according to the local user groups.

TYPES OF GLASS BLOCKS: HOLLOW AND SOLID

ADVANTAGES

Type of Construction: Glass Blocks Hollow blocks are fabricated by thermally fusing two shallow Materials used: Borosillicate

CASE STUDY: SOLID GLASS BLOCKS

rectangular cups along their open faces. A sealed interior air chamber is formed that gives the glass block its thermal and acoustic insulating properties.

Solid glass blocks present a much higher compressive strength, typically over 200 MPa, which allows them to be used as loadbearing components, Solid glass blocks are produced by pouring liquid glass into a steel mould (refer to construction process).

Building: Optical Glass House Architects Office: Hiroshi Nakamura & Nap Co.,Ltd.

a) ENERGY CONSERVATION The thermal resistance (R-value) of glass blocks are double that of traditional single-glaze plate glass. It eliminates energy-wasting drafts and permits an exceptional amount of daylight to filter through. b) FIRE RESISTANT The blocks are manufactured to have a high mechanical resistance to the action of the flames, preventing their propagation. They also block the spread of heat and smoke for a certain period of time. c) Visibility and Light Transmission Glass block transmits 80 percent available light in both directions. Many design options are available, but simlarly, all types constantly transform and manipulate light.

Location: BNaka-Ku, Hiroshima-Shi, Hiroshima, Japan.

Glass block material: Borrosillicate

d) DURABILITY AND COST EFFECTIVENESS Glass block is scratch-resistant, requires minimal maintenance and has a long-term life cycle. Any broken glass block can easily be replaced.

The facade spand 8.6 x 8.6m, and weighs a solid 13 tons.

Solid glass wall are supported by steel rods suspended from a reinforced concrete and steel frame, that puncture through holes in the glass blocks.

e) CUSTOMIZABILITY Glass blocks are available in a range of designs, shapes, colours and forms.

DISADVANTAGES SYSTEM DETAILS: STRINGING Standard dimensions per block: 235mm x 50mm x 50mm At a size of 8.6 sq mt (92.5 sq ft) the glass wall is supported by 75 stainless steel rods suspended from a reinforced concrete and steel frame, that puncture through holes in the glass blocks. Lateral stress is also reduced by embedding a 40 x 4 mm (1.57 x 0.16 in) steel flat bar within the glass blocks at 10 cm intervals.

This reinforcement stipulated a 6 mm (0.24 in) sealing joint between blocks that enables the transparent effect to be achieved.

a) CHALLENGING CONSTRUCTION AND ASSEMBLY PROCESS Long and intricate assembly process is required to thread each block through rebar support.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS: Solid Glass Blocks made from Borosillicate The glass facade of Optical Glass House consists of 6000 handcrafted glass bricks. Their high degree of transpanrency was achieved using borosilicate, the material used to make optical glass. The difficult casting process required slow cooling to remove residual internal stress and achieve precise dimensions.

Top to bottom: Glass casting and slow cooling process.

A complete glass block, with micro-level surface asperities.

Metal plate is embedded into the block.

ADVANTAGES: DOUBLE SKIN FACADE

PRECEDENT: FACADE SYSTEM

SYSTEM DETAILS: DRAWINGS

Type of Construction: Angled vertical sunshades

Steel sunshading louvres are attached to the exterior curves and terraces (projected at alternating lengths), enveloping the building from ground to roof. This creates a usable cavity shaded from sunlight for casual activities.

Materials used: Steel louvers

a) SIMPLE INSTALLATION Each profile is attached to the floor slab via brackets and screws. b) LIGHTWEIGHT PROFILE Thin, rectangular steel profiles and their connections are easily transported, installed and fixed on site.

CASE STUDY: ANGLED SUNSHADES Building: HIT3

c) PREFABRICATED UNITS Easy to manufacture (repetitive modules), thus ensuring speedy production.

Architects Office: Alejandro Gawianski Location: La Pampa, Buenos Aires, Argentina

d) SOLAR GAIN BENEFITS In cool climates the solar gain within the cavity may be circulated to the occupied space to offset heating requirements, while in hot climates the cavity may be vented out of the building to mitigate solar gain.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

The project, with a corner location and South orientation, searches for maximum natural lighting. The facade was generated by vertical sunshades located over different curves in each of the floors. The result from the contraposition of the lights and shadows is an illusionary effect of movement and a dynamic experience.

DISADVANTAGES: DOUBLE SKIN FACADE a) INCREASE IN MATERIAL COST The construction of double skin facade incurrs a higher overall cost due to the extra expenditure of materials.

DETAIL SIDE ELEVATION

SYSTEM DETAILS: ANGLED SUNDHADE

SECTION A-A

b) LOSS OF USABLE FLOOR AREA The semi-outdoor space limits activities and floor space. c) VARYING HEAT TRANSFER PROPERTIES The presence of the cavity makes the modeling of energy performance and the prediction of savings debatable.

Detail 1: The steel sunshade fin is rectangular in profile measuring 4m in length. Each fin is attached at the top and bottom to the reinforced concrete floor slabs by a steel bracket with a screw bit.

Detail 2: Each fin is arranged parallel to each other with a distance of 0.4m in between. A fin from the floor below is placed in between, creating a narrower gap.

Detail 3&4: Using specialized software, each fin is angled according to the protrusion of the floor slab.

Thanks to its low self-weight relative to concrete alternatives, a steel solution will always allow significant savings to be made in foundations costs. Other cost benefits arise from steel’s inherent Type of Construction: Structural buildability and construction programme advantages

PRECEDENT: STRUCTURAL SYSTEM steel framing system

CASE STUDY: STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING Building: Eames House Architects Office: Charles and Ray Eames

DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES

a) FIRE PROOFING COST At 500 degrees celsius, mild steel can lose almost half its strength. Steel structures need to be fire-protected due to its low resistance.

a) DURABLITY AMD FLEXIBILITY The high strength of steel is paired with its versatile design ability to construct almost all building types. Widely used in high-rise, industrial and warehouses construction, steel structual framing is expanding to residential and commercial typologies. Forms range from long spans ro curved typologies.

Bolted steel construction occurs when steel fabricators produce Materials used: Steel structural finished and painted steel components, which are then shipped to the site and simply bolted in place. This is the preferred method b) SUSCEPTIBILITY TO BUCKLING components, connections of steel construction, as the bulk of the fabrication can be done in Steel sections usually consist of a combination of workshops, with the right machinery, lighting, and work conditions. thin plates. If these slender member are subjected to compression, there are greater chances of SYSTEM DETAILS: STEEL CONNECTIONS buckling.

The steel structure consists of the basic component which are the section steel, such as beam, pillar and truss. After delivering to the construction site, installation and joinery is needed to accomplish the overall steel structure. A wide range of connection methods are available, such as bolting, welding, and riveting.

WIDE-FLANGE STEEL BEAM

The Eames House consists of one long, narrow, rectangular form about 175’ long by 20’ wide. The architect’s use of thin steel H-columns and open-web joists created an open, airy feeling in the house. The steel frame for each building within the Eames house was covered with corrugated decking, and the sides were filled with colored panels, sliding glass doors, and translucent, and transparent glass.

c) COST-EFFICIENT Steel construction is recyclable, besides having low maintanence fees. Recent innovation in steel construction has also increased its affordability.

L ANGLE CAN BE ATTACHED TO STEEL H-BEAM IN VARIOUS WAYS

SYSTEM DETAILS: H BEAMS

H beam, as one of the most common types of steel structure in construction, has a lot of advantages, such as flexural capacity, simple construction, cost saving and light weight. Steel structural intensity of H beam is higher than that of I beam. Under the same load bearing conditions, the section modulus of H beam is so large that can save 10%-15%of metal structure.

H-beams have a wider flange, they also have a greater surface area on the cross section of the beam.

This detail is crucial when beams are used as columns, vertical supports, due to the load distribution. The stress on a steel beam in compression is found by dividing the force on the beam (the load) by the surface area of the cross section. In this way, H-beams with their larger cross sectional area are under less stress.

SYSTEM DETAILS: STEEL ANGLES AND CHANNELS

Steel angles and channels are supplementary support profiles for areas that require high strength in a small footprint.

PRECEDENT: STRUCTURAL SYSTEM Type of Construction: Open web floor trusses Materials used: Engineered lumber, steel connections CASE STUDY: ENGINEERED OPEN WEB TRUSS

SYSTEM DETAILS: STEEL CONNECTIONS

Open web joists are composite timber and steel joists forming an open web design.

This provides the lightness of timber with the strength of a steel web.

Open-web trusses are analyzed as pin-connected trusses with continuity in the top chord member, which receives the superimposed loading. Allowable truss-member forces are designated in the product acceptance criteria or derived from material stresses therein.

Chord members are analyzed considering both net section at panel points and gross sections between the panels. Allowable web member forces consider gross and net sections, pin bearing and buckling. Pin-connection details consider allowable bearing in the wood for both parallel and perpendicular-to-grain direction.

Machine stress rated (MSR) lumber refers to sawn lumber that is mechanically evaluated for strength and stiffness, and then visually graded. Sawn lumber that is rated as MSR is regarded as high-quality material.

Manufacturer: Redbuilt

ADVANTAGES a) LIGHTWEIGHT AND SIMPLE INSTALLATION Trusses are lifted in rigid modules with the sheathing permanently attached; no steel workers or special installation crews are needed b) VERSATILE Easier and less expensive to remodel, install equipment and efficiently use the space - even if it’s divided into smaller areas c) FUTURE CONSTRUCTION The open web design means that using these joists offers a flexible solution for any future internal building layout modifications, plus they eliminate costly cutting and drilling when installing services or incorporating modern ventilation and heat recycling systems.

Redbuilt is an innovator od engineered wood products and structural components.

Each truss is custom designed and engineered to verify that it meets all specified loading requirements.

ADVANTAGES

Type of Construction: Hemp Panel Walls, Acoustic Floating Composite Floor

a) HEMP AS BUILDING MATERIAL Hempcrete can be used for everything from roof installation to flooring to wall construction.

Materials used: For walls - Hemp panels. For floors - concrete floor, steel decking, timber battens, gypsum board.

CASE STUDY: Polstead House in Suffolk

b) ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY Hemp is energy-efficient, non-toxic and resistant to mold, insects and fire.

SYSTEM DETAILS: HEMP PANEL CONSTRUCTION

Hempcrete is a bio-composite made of the inner woody core of the hemp plant mixed with a lime-based binder.

The hemp core or “Shiv” has a high silica content which allows it to bind well with lime. This property is unique to hemp among all natural fibers. The result is a lightweight cementitious material.

SYSTEM DETAILS: ACOUSTICAL FLOATING FLOOR SYSTEM Timber floor acoustic insulation products will add mass and dramatically reduce impact sound transmission at source. The addition of plasterboards, a dry screed board or proprietary screed will add further mass. Resilient ceiling bars will de-couple the ceiling and a fibrous slab or quilt will absorb sound in the ceiling void

c) HIGH PERFORMING, THERMALLY AND ACOUSTICALLY The fibrous and cellulose nature of hemp makes it a natural sound-insulating material. It also has a higher R-value, or thermal resistance, than concrete. d) COST EFFECTIVE On par with or less per square foot than a wood frame house.

Standard dimensions per panel: 2400mm x 600mm x 130mm DETAIL 1 VERTICAL WALL PANELS OPENING DETAILS

PRECEDENT: ROOFING SYSTEM Type of Construction: Folded plate structure

Folded plate structures are assemblies of flat plates, or slabs, inclined in different directions and joined along their longitudinal edges. In this way the structural system is capable of carrying loads without the need for additional supporting beams along mutual edges.

Materials used: Lumber truss, structural steel components, strand board, galvanised steel sheet

CASE STUDY: FOLDED PLATE ROOF STRUCTURE Building: T-Nursery Architects Office: Uchida Architect Design Office Location: Dazaifu, Fukuoka, Japan

The structural characteristics of folding structure depend on: - The pattern of folding - Their basic geometrical basic shape - Materiality - Connection of folding plates SYSTEM DETAILS: THREE-SEGMENT FOLDED PLATE The roof of T-Nursery utilizes folded plate surface structure and folded plate frame structure. It is supported by timber trusses and held up by wide column framing embedded in the perimeter walls. The slanting prismatic and pitched roof forms a folding, repetitive structure. The top roof consists of several layers, galvanised steel sheet being the exterior layer and oriented strand board on the interior. The trusses are reinforced with steel connections.

ADVANTAGES: FOLDED PLATE STRUCTURE

LOAD DISTRIBUTION: FOLDED PLATE STRUCTURE

a) HIGH LOAD-CAPACITY Folded plate structures have an intrinsic rigidity and high load-carrying capacity which makes them economical over long spans that need to be free of internal columns and other obstructions. b) SIMPLE ANALYSIS AND CALCULATIONS c) RELATIVELY LOW CONSTRUCTION COST Compared to other types of shells, construction costs are low, since relatively simple formwork can be utilised d) AESTHETHICALLY PLAEASING FORM Folding plate structures create a dyamic form that contrasts the typical local pitched rooves. e) VARIOUS COVERINGS AVAILABLE FOR PITCHED ROOF Various types of covering materials are available and their selection depends upon the climatic conditions, fabrication facility, availability of materials and affordability of the owner. Commonly used pitched roof covering materials are:

The nursery is constituted as a one room space (9m span) which does not have a pillar inside of building. This becomes very useful for conversions to various uses (playroom etc.).

Non-pillar space is achieved by applying a wooden truss beam to the roof structure which shapes like a folded plate.

-Thatch -Tiles -Shingle -Slates -Asbestos cement (A.C.) sheets -Galvanised iron (G.I.) sheets DISADVANTAGES a) REQUIRES MORE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL Long and intricate assembly process is required to thread each block through rebar support. b) SKILLED LABOUR NEEDED Supervision and skilled labour is necessary for bending formwork.

STEEL BRACING IS USED AS END STIFFENERS FOR EACH FOLD DOUBLE ARRANGEMENT OF TRUSS AT THE END OF EACH FOLD TO INCREASE RIGIDITY

Type of sheet connection: Standing seam roof system A structural standing seam roof panel system meets performance goals by being constructed with a raised portion where the two panels meet, enhancing overall weather resistance. In addition, the panels interlock in such way that allows thermal movement without damage.

ROOF SHEATHING: ORIENTED STRAND BOARD Oriented Strand Board is an engineered versatile structural wood panel shares many of the strength and performance characteristics of plywood.

OSB’s combination of wood and adhesives creates a dimensionally stable panel that resists deflection and warping; likewise, panels resist racking and shape distortion when subjected to demanding wind and seismic conditions.

The diagram above shows the elements of a prismatic(rectangular plates) folded plate structure.
