Design Inspiration – Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum 1967-72The Kimbell Art Museum by Louis Kahn is also a disciplined, coherent, and visually clear statement, but here the aesthetics derive from the more classically oriented sensiblity of its architect. It has an austere yet rich simplicity that comes from the repetition of a vaultlike form, given a dull sheen from its lead-covered exterior, and a beautifully articulated concrete structural frame with infill paneled walls of travertine. Its classic sense of timelessness is ennobled by a reverence for material and detail. Its interior form, bathed in a diffused natural light that enters the space via continuous interior suspended screen and reflected downward off the curve of the vault."

Paul Heyer. American Architecture: Ideas and Ideologies in the Late Twentieth Century. p278-279.

Portal FrameLouis Kahn is famous for his use of concrete in his buildings in keeping with this, i am incorporation a concrete portal frame into my design.

G-Frame Concrete Portal Frame The G-Frame is a precast concrete structural frame with a 7’7" roof beam pitch. Its unique "scarf joint" detail facilitates larger clear spans of up to 40 m. approx. The G-Frame is ideal for single and multiple bay frames, which can be designed as either fixed or pinned base.

Design • Roof beam pitch 7 degrees 7 minutes (i.e. 1 in 8) • Span Clear span capabilities are available up to 40m approx. • Bay width 6.0m is a recommended economic spacing of frames. • Eaves height 3.0 to 13.0m approx.

Portal Frame continuedBenefits Larger span capabilities, allowing increased design flexibility. Competitive pricing Hygiene - ledges where dust and dirt collects can be minimised,Inbuilt fire ratings avoid additional board or sprayed protection. Factory production, quality checks prior to arriving on site. Speed of erection. Decreased maintenance costs – the frame is virtually maintenance free. Clean finish. Overhead gantry cranes – supports for overhead gantries can be provided in columns.
