lobby stair in the NCRC. This conceptual extension of exterior space into the building reinforces the building's connection with the landscape. The upper roof of the NCRC has photovoltaic shingles that supplement the power requirements of the building and contribute to a theme of environmental sustainability for the project. The highly visible lower roof of NCRC is a vegetated roof that creates an attractive greenscape on the building that references the surrounding landscape.

The Noyes Community and Recreation Center (NCRC) is part of the West Campus Residential Initiative (WCRI) at Cornell University. The NCRC will serve residents of the west campus as well as members of the broader community. The program includes a gymnasium, �tness center, multipurpose room, convenience store, indoor climbing wall and public space for socializing and games.
The NCRC extends the planning principles used for the residential portion of the WCRI. Public circulation paths around the building are designed to create a dynamic experience of framed views. On the north side of the building a monumental site stair creates a public gathering and circula-tion space with strong visual connectivity to the east and west. A glass curtain wall separates this exterior stair from a parallel

An important factor to understand about the Noyes Community Recreation Center is that many of the systems in the building OVERLAP and are interrelated.

The proposed new Houses are integrally connected to a phased overall site plan vision for West Campus. The key features of that site plan as it relates directly to the House organization are: the provision of a main entry for each House, fully accessible from the primary through-campus pedestrian circulation network; the provision of a central House Green for outdoor programs - a "front lawn" for each House; servicing of the buildings from perimeter streets to favor pedestrian circulation throughout the majority of the West Campus site; and orientation of the buildings so as to gain maximum through-views to the west from the House Greens and major site entry points from Libe Slope, Baker Tower and War Memorial Arcade.
This new gallery and studio art building extends Yale University's extraordinary arts district one block west of Paul Rudolph's Art and Architecture Building and Louis Kahn's Art Gallery and Mellon Center for British Art. During its �rst year, the new structure will house the Yale School of Architecture while its own building is renovated and added to by the �rm Gwathmey Siegel. Following completion of renovations to the Art and Architecture Building, the new structure will become the permanent home for Yale's world renowned Sculpture Department.

Cornell University's West Campus is dominated by early twentieth century Collegiate Gothic residence halls designed by Day & Klauder Architects. Known on campus as 'the Gothics,' these buildings are read as a wall, a gateway and a transition to the West Campus commu-nity. Clad in locally quarried stone, slate roofs, limestone window surrounds, and copper trims and �ashings, they present an imposing and permanent face to West Campus and the campus beyond to the east. It is within this context that the plan for the West Campus Residential Initiative (WCRI) was developed to replace the 50-year-old red brick dormitories. The new plan provides housing for 1,250 undergraduate students in �ve college houses; the project illustrated is the �rst phase completed.

Middlebury College is in the process of convert-ing its 2,250-student campus into �ve residen-tial commons of 450 students each. The Atwater project supplements existing housing with 154 new beds for seniors with single bedrooms in suite con�gurations and a new 225-seat dining hall. Two new stone-clad residential buildings frame distant views to the north and back to Le Chateau, an icon on campus. The dining hall is articulated as a glazed pavilion, nestled into the woods and providing tree-level views out to the Town of Middlebury and mountains beyond.
Cellophane House is a four-story, o�site fabricated dwelling commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, to be featured in Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling, opening July 20, 2008. The 1800 square-foot residence has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living and dining space, a roof terrace, and a carport. An online journal tracking the fabrica-tion process can be viewed at www.moma.org/homedelivery.
ConceptA building is, at root, nothing more than an assemblage of materials forming an enclosure. We recognize that these materials came from somewhere, are held together for a time by the techniques of construction, and will at some future time transition into another state. While we tend to think of buildings as permanent, they are in fact only a resting state for materials, a temporary equilibrium that is destined to be upset by the entropic forces that drive the physical universe.

KieranTimberlake has been announced as the winner of the design competition for the new US Embassy in London.
According to a statement by the US Embassador in the UK, KieranTimberlake´s design “meets the goal of creating a modern, welcoming, timeless, safe and energy e�cient embassy for the 21st century.”
Regarding the “safety” issues, KT’s design shows an interesting solution away from embassies from the early 90s surrounded by large walls with no urban considerations, using a park with a pond instead. The Embassy is no only an icon, but an urban piece “honoring the English tradition of urban parks and gardens as the context for many civic buildings”, connecting the Thames embank-ment to the new pedestrian way to the south.

The primary lounge spaces are conjoined with to the exterior circulation past the building, connecting main campus to its west campus comrade. The food store is placed along the road, at the edge closest to campus. This placement facilitates the use of the store by members of west campus. The �tness center faces south and overlooking an outdoor basketball court. In addition the �tness center is suspended above the main gym space which is a basketball court that can also accommodate volleyball and badminton.

Noyes Recreation CenterSTRUCTURE . Introduction 19
The Noyes Community and Recreation Center is a lightframe steel construction. The �oorplates are precast concrete that are set on top of the beams. On top of the �oorplates are various surfaces i.e. rubber �oors. The enclosure is also embedded within in a steel frame that fuses with the structure. The columns in the enclosure that holds up the roof are welded with horizontal pieces of steel that supports the mullions, glass and metal panels. Within these glass panels, the facades are pushed and pulled inward and outward.
The beams of various types and sizes are bolted together at certain locations in the building as well as welded together, thus making the Noyes Center a mixed building of open and closed systems.The sprinkler systems, HVAC systems and electrical systems are all components in the building. Since the structure is an independent system in the building, these other systems are o�set, therefore, they act as separate and bypassing systems. The truss in the �tness center is also a very unique feature.

As mentioned before, there are two larger scale, main structural systems in the Noyes Center.
The Secondary System is that of the structure that erects the roof of the �tness center, the �tness center itself, and the gymnasium below. This acts as its own entity while fusing to the main roof structure.
This system remains �uid within the building by the connection of the enclosure and facade. (Explained later in presentation)

Noyes Recreation CenterSTRUCTURE . Truss Interior View 25
Since the �oorplate sits on top of the steel framing below the �tness center, the primary beam that supports the truss for lateral loads is ultimately hidden from the inhabitants of the �tness center. Spatially the �tness center is separated into two parts due to the exposure of this massive truss. Since the components of the struss are welded together and not bolted, this as well is a very closed structural system.
The dotted lines indicate where the beam is located and how it is hidden underneath the �ooring.

Two of these structural elements made of concrete are the supports for the truss. located on either side of the gymnasium, they support the beam the spans the truss and holds the load. Due to the rigidity of these elements, no structural columns or trusses have to be present in the gymnasium below. Which results in an open, free space.

Green/ Zinc Roof
Storefront GlassConstruction
Grey Coursed Ashlar
There are three primary “materials” within the enclosure: the green/zinc roof, storefront glazing, and coursed ashlar. The glazing system is one that had been introduced in many of the newer projects in the West Campus Initiative, in attempts to create a strong link between the campus and the landscape. It is made of three components: a structural system, aluminum
framing, and glass. The structure disapears in the rhythm of the façade, and adds a di�erentiation of scale. By placing the structure in this way, K+T �nd a way to give an almost freeplan e�ect. The coursed ashlar is a modern interpretation of stone cladding that has been used throughout the Cornell Campus, such as at Sibley Hall.

The Noyes Community Center utilizes a storefront glazing system, or as K+T refers to it, the “poor man’s curtainwall”. This is typically a low-performance system and so it is intended for smaller buildings. Because of the smaller scale of the building and the desire to integrate the structure into the façade, it was possible for K+T to go with this more cost-e�ective form of glazing and still open views to the surrounding campus. A unique feature in the facades, is that the planes of glass are pushed back at various depths: front, center, and back. The reasons for doing this are
purely aesthetic; it was a pattern language that was developed after K+T designed a few buildings at Cornell. One precedent of this entire system is at the Alice T. Cook House. In order to minimize the heat and glare along the south façade, where they still wanted to place glazing for the gym, a fritted glass is used. As seen in the diagrams it has glass bands along the areas that would be most susceptible to glare for the user, but clear glass remains to still allow views. It would have been possible to �ll in those areas with the aluminum panels instead, but it would have disrupted the overall rhythm of the façade.Al

MECHANICAL SYSTEM .
The HVAC systems consists of a VAV system. It allows the heating and cooling temperatures and humidity to be controllable and adjusted as desire at each individual space. It becomes very e�cient because if there are some areas that at some point during the day do not need any heating or cooling, the system may be turn o� (open system), which in the long run cut s the electricity bill.

These radiant heating panels run along the perimeter of the building, which serves as the boundariy to programmatic spaces like the gym, the �tness, the game/lobby area, and the lounge. This allows for wast open spaces and also help with the aesthetics of the recreation center. Nevertheless, this strategy allows a temperature cycle to coexist within the perimeter, which in return result in a comfortable and stable interior environment throughout the di�erent spacces.

Environmental Responsibility is the �rst listed amongst the Kieran&Timberlake Firm Philosophies. The principles of sustainable design make up the core of their design beliefs. This project re�ects their care to source materials responsibly and to create energy e�cient systems through the synthesis of form and technology to create fully
integrated, functional designs. In order to reduce energy consumption for lighting the building, K+T clad more than 50% of the facade with insulated glass windows in order to optimize the amount of natural light the interior received. The roof is lifted for clearstory windows and large skylights punctuate the vegetated rooftop.

The roof system of the noyes recreation center serves several purposes. The upper roof has photovoltaic cells across its surface. The energy collected assists in ful�lling the energy requirements of the building. The lower roof,
meanwhile, is a vegetated green roof. According to K+T it "creates an attractive greenscape on the building that references the surrounding landscape." Additionally, it helps insulate the building during the long winters in Ithaca. These two systems
are vital to meeting energy and power standards for the building and adheres to K+T’s commitment to environmentally friendly construction.

The Noyes Recreation Center also uses a variety of other formal and mechanical devices to meet their commitment to environment and sustainability requirements.
The building is constructed so that 50% of the occupyable space is below grade. This helps with insulating and reducing energy costs.
A demand-controlled ventilation system is apart of the north face facade in order to mitigate the sunlight and heat loss. In addition to this, there is also heated steel panels.
The combination of these elements with the photovoltaics results in an energy model that exceeds ASHRAE code requirements.
K+T also tried to use renewable resource products and locally sourced materials.
