Herzlich willkommen
In dieser Ausgabe arbeiten wir weiter daran, das Copper Architecture Forum als globales Architekturmagazin zu eta-
blieren, wobei wir unsere Blicke auf das gesamte Design von Gebuden, und nicht nur separat auf die Verwendung
von Kupfer richten. Wir haben auch unser Redaktionsteam aufgestockt, um Zugang zu weiteren Projekten in ganz
Europa und darber hinaus zu haben und eine breitere Palette an Fachwissen zu erlangen.
Auf den folgenden 40 Seiten geht es um eine beachtliche Vielfalt architektonischer Stile und Gebudetypen.
Fotos und Beschreibungen werden durch Plne, Querschnitte, Entwurfsskizzen und andere Zeichnungen ergnzt,
um das Vorhaben der Architekten zu untermauern. Zwar konzentrieren wir uns nach wie vor auf das besonderen
Erscheinungsbild von Kupfer in der Architektur, halten aber auch Ausschau nach neuen Hhepunkten in Bezug auf
Nachhaltigkeit und Modernisierung, die wir neben den gewohnten Detail- und Nahaufnahmen hinzugefgt haben.
Zum 31. Mai als Stichtag fr Beitrge erwarten wir ein Rekordergebnis von Projekten fr die diesjhrigen European
Copper in Architecture Awards, bei denen einige der besten zeitgenssischen architektonischen Projekte vertreten
sein werden. Die Gewinner werden auf einer Prsentation in Brssel im September verkndet (weitere Details siehe
www.copperconcept.org). Gewinnende und in die engere Wahl kommende Projekte werden wir in der nchsten
Ausgabe des Copper Architecture Forum in einer groen Dokumentation genauer unter die Lupe nehmen.
Um die nchste Ausgabe auf keinen Fall zu verpassen, registrieren Sie sich schon jetzt online unter
www.copperconcept.org, damit Sie auch weiterhin Ihr kostenloses Exemplar von Copper Architecture Forum erhal-
ten. Das ist besondere deshalb wichtig, weil wir derzeit unsere Mailinglisten aktualisieren. Auf derselben Webseite
knnen Sie die aktuelle und frhere Ausgaben von Copper Architecture Forum herunterladen. Wir wnschen Ihnen
viel Spa beim Lesen dieser Ausgabe und sehen Ihren Rckmeldungen und Kommentaren gespannt entgegen.

Hauptziel von Kunden und Planern war von Anang an die
Schaung einer modernen Schule, die an den aktuellen und
zukntigen Bedar gut angepasst und ausreichend fexibel
ist, sich zu verndern und zukntigen Herausorderungen zu
begegnen. Wichtig waren auch unktionelle und sthetische
Gesichtspunkte, was insgesamt ein reizvolles Gebude und
einen inspirierenden Arbeitsplatz r Schler und Lehrer er-
geben sollte.
Das Gebude mit einer Gesamtfche von 14 000 m2 bietet
Platz r 800 Schler und 150 Mitarbeiter.

Die Architektur des Gebudes ist eine klare Absichtserklrung.
Dank seiner langlebigen Auenschale aus Kuper und Glas ist es
gut in der Lage, wechselnden Anorderungen gerecht zu werden.
Es ist ein Symbol r jugendliche Energie: dynamisch, selbstbe-
wusst, bunt, risch und anspruchsvoll. Eine Auenhaut aus gr-
nem, vorpatiniertem Kuper umasst den transparenten Raum
des Gebudes und ist so gestaltet, dass sie den Eindruck von
Helligkeit und Dynamik erweckt. Verstrkt wird dies noch durch
Hauptglasassade, die schmale Felder aus gerbtem Glas ent-
hlt. Diese Elemente symbolisieren jeden Schler als individuel-
les und unabhngiges Wesen.

Kuprdah aus langn Bndrn
Der Rahmen des Gebudes besteht aus Betonsulen mit
vorgeertigten Betonbalken und lasttragenden Stahltrgern.
Die Dachkonstruktion besteht aus werksgeertigten Dach-
elementen mit Stahltrgern und dazwischenliegender Iso-
lierung, die mit Sperrholz und Dachpappe berdeckt sind.
Das massive, ast fache Dach mit einer Neigung von nur
3 Grad ist mit 0,7 mm dicken 14 m langen Kuperbnderngedeckt, die im Long-Strip-Verahren montiert werden.
Hauptschlich kamen hier zwei Auenbaustoe zum Ein-
satz, die praktisch wartungsrei sind: Kuper r Dach und
Fassadenhaut sowie Glas in Aluminium r die verglasten
Fassaden. Alle Baustoe wurden im Hinblick au niedrige
Wartungskosten ber einen langen Zeitraum und eindeu-
tig dauerhate Qualitt ausgewhlt. Das Gebude wurde im
vergangenen Herbst ertiggestellt ist bereits r den Archi-
tekturpreis 2010 der Stadt Bergen nominiert worden.
Die Innenhe dienen als allgemeine Bereiche im Freien, sind direkt mit den Fundamenten verbunden und lassen gleichzeitig Tageslicht in die Klassenrume.
Das Konzept r die Wahl von Farbe und Material basiert darau, dass smt-liche massiven Innenfchen, auer Kantine und Aula in Wei, Schwar z oderGrau gehalten sind. Durch den reduzierten Gebrauch von Farben bekommt
das durch das gerbte Glas in Fassade und Glast ren einallende Licht eineneutrale Projektionsfche, das Lichtspiele zulsst. Dies trgt dazu bei, den
einzelnen Rumen Identitt und Charakter zu verleihen.

Die Renovierung dieses 12 500 m2 groen stdtischen Gebu-
des, das vom Stil her typisch r die Mitte des 20. Jahrhun-
derts ist, begann im Jahr 2009 und wird im Jahr 2012 beendet
sein. Sie umasst sowohl den Innenbereich als auch die u-
eren Stein- und Kuperassaden. Technisch lag bei dem ur-sprnglich verwendeten Kuper kein Fehler vor, doch brachten
Feuchtigkeitseintritt und ehlende Wrmeisolierung jahrzehn-
telang Probleme mit sich. Die umangreiche Renovierung be-
gann mit der Errichtung des Gersts und dem Anlegen einer
Schrumpverpackung an die Auenwnde, wonach die alte
Konstruktion enternt und im Gebude gelagert wurde. Rund
50 Tonnen Kuper und 5,5 Tonnen Messing wurden abmontiert
und dem ursprnglichen Zulieerer zurckgegeben.
Die Fensternungen wurden whrend des Demontage-
prozesses abgedichtet. Die Verzierung der Fassade bestand
zuvor aus Messing, wurde dann aber durch Kuper ersetzt.
Dann wurden die Thermoelementstbe beestigt und sobalddie neuen Fenster eingebaut waren, wurden 50+150mm Iso-
liermatten aus Mineralwolle und Windschutzplatten an den
Wnden beestigt. Ein Edelstahlhutprol wurde an den Ther-
moelementen beestigt und das Kuper au eine Unterlage
aus imprgnierter Kreuzschalung augebracht. Nach diesen
Vorbereitungen konnte mit der Montage des Kupers an den
Auenwnde begonnen werden: Das dauer te ein ganzes Jahr.

Ein Muster r die neuen Kassetten und die Verzierungwurde von der abgebauten Fassade abgenommen undbei der neuen Arbeit getreu nachgebildet. Es wurdedurchweg vorpatiniertes Kuper verwendet, das dem
Gebude einen warmen hellbraunen Farbton verleiht.Das Kuper wurde in Form von Rollen, Blechtaeln undVerzierung zu den Arbeitspltzen gebracht und dort zuProlen verarbeitet. Die Prole hatten eine Lnge vonca. 800-2300 mm und eine Hhe von 290-900 mm beieiner Strke von 0,6 mm und bei der Bodenschicht 0,8mm.Kuper wurde hier au vielltige Art und Weise wieder-verwendet vom Gesims bis zum Fundament. Die Fas-sade besteht jetzt aus der ursprnglichen Steinwand,die sich von den Prolkuperplatten und vorspringen-den Wandpeilern absetzt. Auerdem sind Fenster-rahmen und Konstruktionselemente mit Kuper ver-kleidet. Etwa 70 Tonnen Kuper wurden au der neuen
Fassade montiert und der Groteil des Rohstoes warrecyceltes Kuper, das vom Gebude demontiert wur-de. Dieses Verahren erbrachte groe Einsparungen sowohl in nanzieller als auch in umwelttechnischerHinsicht. Dies ist eine anschauliche Demonstrationder niedrigen Gesamtlebenskosten und des kumulier-ten Energieauwands bzw. der CO2-Bilanz von Kuperin der Architektur.

Seit dem rhen 19. Jahrhundert zeichnete sich die Innenstadt von Buda-
pest durch organische Entwicklung aus. Die Gebude wurden hher und
erhielten in historischen Stilen ein neues Gewand. Ein- und zweistckige
Huser wurden um zwei oder drei zustzliche Etagen erweitert und gro-
e Gebude erhielten gem dem zeitlichen Trend neue Fassaden, die aus
verschiedenen historischen Stilen ausgewhlt wurden. All das wurde als
Folge des natrlichen Lebens der Stadt betrachtet.
Dieser Tradition zuolge wurde ein massives vierstckiges Eckhaus das
ber die Jahre bereits regelmig erweitert worden war um einen voll-
stndig mit vorpatiniertem Kuper verkleideten zweistckigen Aubau er-
weitert. Dieser Aubau wurde durch den Bau einer neuen Bauwand hinter
der Originalassade ermglicht, wodurch ebenalls auwendige Innenum-

The original, protected railway building has been renovatedand added to with a new annex housing library services or
children and young people. As a central public acility, the li-
brary had the potential to integrate the weak surroundings o
the railway station and orge a new identity or the area and
its signicance clearly expressed in -architektens design.
The new annex is essentially a box tilted along two axes that
has the eect o repositioning the railway building in its urban
context. The striking acade design with its shimmering gold-
en, imbricated surace accentuates the structure. The interior
o the annex presents children and young people with a series
o spaces shaped to match their needs.
Abstrat volum abstrat skn
The concept o the acade aims to clad the rather abstract vol-
ume with an equally abstract skin. For this reason it was es-
sential that the skin covers the volume in a homogenous and
continuous way and highlights its geometry. But at the same
time, the materiality should contrast strongly with the render
o the existing building without questioning its signicance.
The external skin was realised with details to maximise the
fatness o the suraces and sharpness o building edges, so
as not to diminish the geometry o the tilted volume.
The copper skin is considered as an element that wraps
continuously around the whole building - even the roo. Thecopper shingle construction gives each ace o the building a
dierent appearance. Glazing also orms a part o this con-
tinuous, fush skin with a largely hidden structure. The shim-
mering, golden copper alloy material adds grav itas to the new
building and contrasts with the historic building stock, elevat-
ing the complex above its mundane urban context.

The new Central Rmz complex is part o the British
Governments myplace initiative, which aims to provide world-
class youth acilities with the active participation o young
people locally. The design, by architects Austin-Smith: Lord,
incorporates the ormer Kingsway Medical Centre a listed
building refecting its rarity as a 1930s comprehensive health
centre outside London and its striking Moderne design with Art
Deco elements.
The new extension is not a pastiche o art deco architecture but
takes a modern approach, creating a clear interace between old
and new. It wraps around the rear o the original building as an
uncompromisingly contemporary intervention, orming a range
o spaces including a large Perormance Area. The new build-
ing is terminated by a strong geometric orm an oset copper
rhomboid - at the upper level which breaks through the glazed
walls and continues inside. This distinctive space will act as a
chill out relaxation area, related to a Recording Studio and other
social spaces downstairs.
Vertical and horizontal suraces o the rhomboid both inside
and out are clad in long trays opre-patinated copper with a
rich, iridescent surace appearance. Particular care was taken
in detailing and setting out to align the copper tray joints meet-
ing at various angles, all expertly installed by Carlton Building
Services.

The acilities o the 1964 Helsinki Chil-
drens Hospital, which specialises in the
treatment o seriously ill babies, had be-
come cramped and old-ashioned. When
the hospital was rst built, about 90 pae-
diatric patients were treated annually - but
now the number has risen to 700. Added
to this, water penetration and other dam-
age demanded renovations, modernisation
and expansion.
Desig eges
The old hospital has ve separate wings or
ngers radiating out rom a long, curved
hub building all sharing the same central-
ized layout. The building typies the unc-
tional style ound in many architecturally
signicant hospitals dating rom that pe-
riod. There is a clear desire to preserve
them in their original architectural orm,
although they do not always ull modern
requirements. With new extensions to theHelsinki hospital, successully combining
the old and the new into compatible enti-
ties, while meeting all the restrictions
placed by the town plan, posed a real chal-
lenge.
What urther complicated this project
is the act that the hospital is protected
by the National Board o Antiquities and
Historical Monuments. In addition, the
building inspection authorities, as well
as conservation specialists, set out a re-
quirement or a thoroughly modern ap-
pearance, distinctly dierent rom the oldbuilding and the extension was designed to
be a separate entity. The two new pavilions
were built in the courtyard spaces dened
by the nger wings o the original building
and mainly accommodate the new surgical
wards and intensive care units.

coe e key eiCopper was chosen as the key material,
visually linking the old and the new - as
the original hospitals roo material is
copper with a green patina. Thereore,
pre-patinated copper was selected as the
exterior wall material or the new build-
ings. Bespoke copper slats were specially
designed or the Childrens Hospital and
the use o three dierent size slats gives
the aades a distinctive and lively surace.
They are attached diagonally to the bot-
tom runs to orm a latticed surace. The
objective was to create a harmonious and
uniorm aade, including covering over
air grilles and smoke removal equipment,
hidden behind the copper slats.
At roo level, the countless ventilation
ducts are concealed within large cop-
per pipes. In addition to the exterior wallsand the roo, copper was also used on the
sleeves covering ventilation pipes, en-
trance doors and other exterior details.
The copper was delivered to a abricator in
rolls and processed into the slats and other
elements. Although work on site was sub-
ject to special arrangements to minimise
disturbance o the hospital operations, the
project progressed particularly well due to
close cooperation with the hospital sta.
The project remained within schedule and
the hospital personnel are delighted with
their new acilities.

The Head Oce o the Tapiola Group is located in southern
Tapiola area in Espoo, in immediate vicinity o the old Tapi-
ola Garden Town. Property development has traditionally
in Tapiola been based on ree locations with respect to nature and
built-up green areas. This principle has been ollowed also with
the Head Oce; the building mass above ground is divided into
six six-storey parts using atriums and undulating building levels.
The lightness o aades, characteristic o Tapiola, has been cap-
tured in the screen-printed glass o the ribbon windows, whilethe use o wood on the windows and the suraces o balconies
and terraces link the building with the wooden house on the op-
posite side o Lnsituulentie Road. The objective has been a mod-
ern interpretation o a new building that bets Tapiola. The main
entrance is dominated by a canopy, which rests on three columns
made rom Corten steel. The lower surace o the canopy, which
at eaves height extends rom the outdoor to the indoor, is covered
with wood. A natural stone wall realised in ree orm connects the
building with the varying ground contours o the plot.

Common unctions and internal trac inside the building wind
round the entrance atrium and the main lobby, which orm a cen-
tral square. The oce acilities or some 1500 employees are
modiable, allowing the building to be divided into separate units,
which can also be rented out, i necessary. The smallest possible
unit consists o two parallel oce blocks on one foor. The o-
ce blocks, which are connected with the tall lobby area through
open side corridors, acilitate unctionally versatile and diverse
space solutions in the oces. Natural horizontal connections arepossible both between the dierent oce units, and through the
side corridors o the lobby space between the blocks. Vertical ac-
cess routes utilise internal staircases and lits inside oce units ,
and the spiral staircase and the panorama lits o the lobby area
between oce blocks. The lobby with its waiting areas and ex-
hibition acilities, as well as the associated auditorium realised
in white concrete and the wide side corridors on the foor levels
create an assembly area or the people working in the building.

The shared conerence rooms are also arranged along the side
corridors o the lobby area. The sta restaurant and the con-
erence centre on the top foor extend outside to wood-foored
roo terraces with a sea view to the Gul o Finland. Special at-tention has been paid to the modiability o the oce ac ilities
in terms o architecture, construction and building systems.
The three basement levels excavated into rock provide park-
ing or ca. 830 cars as well as technical acilities. The construc-
tion was up to the foor slab o the topmost basement level built
with the cast-in-situ method as a post-tensioned column and
beam slab system. The building rame above consists o 8.1
m modules that comprise steel tube composite columns lled
with reinorced concrete, welded WQ beams, and intermediate
foors and roo slabs made o hollow-core slabs. The rame is
stiened with stairwells and lit shats built rom reinorced
concrete using the climbing orm method. The three columnson the main entrance, made rom Corten steel and rising to a
height o 26 metres, support the grid o steel beams in the can-
opy. The steel-glass wall o the lobby is suspended rom this
grid and in horizontal direction supported against wind pres-
sure and vacuum loads to the edges o the intermediate foors
with steel tension rods and compression rods. The sculpture-
like spiral staircase o the lobby, built without a centre column,
has been partly realised as a spr ing enclosed with steel plates
and supported on the ends o cantilever beams. The glazed
balconies are cantilevered steel structures that were post-
tensioned to the rame.
The development o the project, as well as the control o de-sign, the actual design, and the construction have been guided
by the environmental and lie cycle objectives o Tapiola Group.
Environmental classication system PromisE has been used
as a tool at the dierent phases o the project. Tapiola Group
has been awarded WWFs Green Oce designation or its com-
mitment to eco-eciency in the use o the building and the
practices ollowed by the sta.

Like the other building materials usedon the project, copper was chosen on
the basis o all aspects o sustainability
in terms o manuacture, delivery, pro-
cessing, urther development and age-
ing. In addition, all technical, ecological
and economic decisions made during
the planning and construction phases
and also during the buildings entire op-
erational lie were examined in detail in
regard to sustainability. This method o
working by the architects Art & Build
was especially acknowledged in June2008. For the new general oce building
o the Council o Europe, the architects
received the BEX Award 2008 in the sus-
tainable building category. Each year, in-
novative projects in the eld o architec-
ture are distinguished with the awards
rom the BEX-Building Exchange inter-
national conerence.
Isidore Zielonka and Steven Beckers,managing architects o Art & Build in
Brussels and responsible or planning
and realisation o the new administra-
tion building, made some remarks con-
cerning their views about copper, build-
ing materials and sustainable planning.
Steven Beckers said: When planningthe Council o Europe building we were
lucky that we could stay very close to the
original competition design, also in termso material choice. Pre-patinated copper
was part o that design rom the very early
phases. We used this material or interior
parts and outside as well. The suraces
still have the same appearance today,
outside and inside. This is unique; with
patinated copper, there is hardly any other
material oering that long-term quality in
appearance or both applications.
Regarding sustainable building: duringmy studies, I was totally involved with
ecological topics in architecture. They
became more and more interesting and
important then, but at the same time
they were still quite distinct. Meanwhile
the whole situation has become very
complex. Today in every feld o applica-
tions you can fnd materials suddenly in
question that nobody worried about using
yesterday. This is a very conusing and
challenging situation, and our genera-
tion is the frst to ace it. At Art & Build
we investigate building materials as aras possible, o course. But our eco team
has only limited capacities in this com-
plex feld. Thereore, we have to remind
manuacturers o their responsibility over
and over again. They have to keep in mind
the consequences o material use in any
application, especially regarding high
amounts o use. Because at the end o the
day, it is always a question o resources.

Isidore Zielonka added: Despite the highimportance o ecological criteria, we must
not orget the human actor, which or me is
the most important element o all. The idea
o sustainability should be based on this in
the frst place. For me, the highest compli-
ment or my work is when somebody turns
up and says: I eel very comortable in this
building. I love to be here and to work here.
O course we keep our critical view on
every building material, also on modern
and uture developments. Today every ma-
terial has to ace critical investigation re-
garding sustainability over and over again,and this applies just as much to copper in
every respect. The responsibility o manu-
acturers in using this material is especially
high. Because copper is a beautiul, unique
and very precious material that surely will
be as important or uture generations as it
is or us today.

In an architectural competition held in 2003 the youngarchitects design was chosen the winner rom among194 entries. The designers set out to ully understandthe grieving process, as well as practical issues, byattending unerals. The resulting design aims to help themourner, giving space or grie. Mourners ollow a routethrough a series o areas punctuated by intermediaterooms preparing them or the next stage guided alongthe route by a continuous skylight.
The new building is close to a 15th century church inan area classied as a nationally signicant culturallyhistoric environment. The new chapel ties togetherdierent aspects o the area without emphasising itsel.The chapel connects with the graveyard, leaving theold buildings with their own boundaries and territoriesuntouched. The chapel is also built to last, which isobvious rom the limited palette o materials, includingcopper used extensively both internally and externally.The architects set the chapel a goal o a 200-yearlietime and a liecycle simulator was used during thedesign.
The building uses similar materials as the oldstructures in the area. The mass o the load-bearingsolid masonry walls balances changes in temperatureand moisture. Lightly plastered and whitewashed walls
are a bright, tranquil background or the events takingplace in the chapel spaces. The partition walls are in-situ cast white concrete and the roo is patinated copper,like the roo o the church. Many o the ceilings arenished with removable, perorated copper trays. Theglazed walls toward the graveyard in the chapels arecovered with a patinated copper mesh which unctionsas a screen between the outside and the spaces othe chapel. The mesh also decreases heat loads romsunshine.
An open competition was held in the all o 2007 orart to be commissioned or the chapel. The competitionwas scheduled beore the nal construction documentswere drated, so that the art could be integrated as aseamless part o the architecture. Pertti kukkonen wasawarded the rst prize with his work the Way o thecross. Kukkonen was able to utilize the solid masonrywalls with his work. In addition to the main pieces, thewalls have been inlaid with spirits that shine throughthe light plaster surace. Pertti Kukkonen was alsoresponsible or hand patinating the copper suraces othe chapel.

Nus Musum n Brln was built in the vicinity o Altes Museum
in 18431855. The Museum was designed by architect FriedrichAugust Stler. It is a signicant example o museum building tech-
nology in the 19th century.
The designer o Altes Museum, which was built in 18221830,
was architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. He is considered the men-
tor o Friedrich August Stler. Neues Museum was severely dam-
aged in the Second World War. It was closed to public or about 70
years beore reopened in October 2009.
For some 40 years ater the war, no work was carr ied out on the
ruins o the Museum. Renovation works started in the 1980s, and
ater the reuniting o Germany, architect David Chippereld was in
1992 commissioned to renovate the building. Chippereld won the
commission on the basis o an architectural competition. In 1999
the building was included in Unescos World Heritage List.
The renovation project based on Chipperelds designs started
in 2003. The Museum is a three-storey building. There were origi-
nally two atria, which according to the renovation plans were cov-
ered with a glass roo. The main staircase was rebuilt and two li ts
were installed in the Museum. The Museum acilities are located
on three foors round the main staircase and the two atria, which
have now been covered.
Classical antiquities and arteacts rom Central Europe and an-
Neues Museum, enovationcient Egypt are exhibited on the ground foor. The rst foor is ded-
icated to arteacts rom ancient Rome and its northern territories,as well as ancient Egypt. Stone-age, bronze-age and iron-age ar-
teacts rom Central Europe as well as the archaeology o Berlin
are displayed on the second foor.
The history o the building is visible in Neues Museum. The
damaged parts have been renovated; remaining brick structures
and riezes have been repaired. Floors and walls in the building
sections that had been best preserved have been restored; plas-
ter applications repaired and remaining foor ceramics renovated.
The old destroyed structures on the second foor, or example,
have been realised as identiably new structures.
The idea has been to maintain the space structure o the build-
ing and the rhythm o the rooms as authentic as possible, bearing
in mind the history o the building.
The lighting system used in the exhibition areas o the Museum
is based on downlights, which is an excellent solution or display
purposes. The ar teacts have also primarily been placed in easily
accessible display cabinets to allow them to be viewed at close
range and lighted rom dierent directions, but still well protect-
ed. The display cabinets are made rom glass and copper struc-
tures. The dark patinated small-scale copper structures on one
hand delimit the placing o the arteacts in the space and on the

other hand vanish rom the range o vision owing to the high light
density contrast.
The structures have been produced meticulously, the restora-tion o the parts represents high-quality work and the number o
new materials is limited. The careully selected materials, such
as light exposed-aggregate concrete and small-scale copper de-
tails, as well as their implementation methods create an expres-
sion o timelessness and high standards.
Neues Museum was a signicant renovation project in early
2000s, both on European scale and worldwide.
The Museum also represents the new brick building technique
o its original construction period, mid-eighteen hundreds. The
bearing capacity o the ground on the building site o the Museum
on River Spree is poor. The same is true o most o the City o
Berlin and the reason or the majority o the buildings having ve
storeys.
The intermediate foors and roo slabs o Neues Museum were
originally realised using a brick and iron vault technique in order
to reduce the weight o the building. The bricks o the low vault
are conical, hollow brick elements with closed bottoms, so-called
fower pot bricks. They were made on the site using local clay.*
The construction is visible, ater renovation, e.g. on the ceiling on
the rst foor.

Its interesting to look back at what we have covered in the past and
how the magazine has developed into its current orm, taking a wider
perspective o architecture and architects. By ocusing on the architec-
ture o just one material copper we can present a unique perspec-
tive on building design not ound in mainstream architectural publica-
tions. Te editorial team maintains continuing contact with architects
internationally oten rom the earliest design stages enabling us to
bring you news o projects at dierent phases in their development and
sometimes ahead o mainstream publications.
Engaging with architects
In recent issues we have engaged with some o the most inuential
designers, including an exclusive interview with Ryue Nishizawa o
SANAAjust ater winning the 2010 Pritzker
Prize. echnical topics such as environmental,
sustainability and health issues, and the latest
copper cladding techniques and products, are
regularly covered. And there is always exten-
sive coverage o projects rom around Europe
and beyond oten exploring innovative
ways o using copper in architecture.
We eature all types and scale o buildings: rom the iconic to the de-
ceptively modest; new-builds o course, but also extensions and other
interventions with established structures; and not just acades
any architectural elements including interiors and artworks. So
times we look deeper with Close-up eatures on surace treatm
In Detailworking drawings, Sustainabilityhighlights and Refur
mentocuses. An invaluable reerence source, back issues o Co
Architecture Forum can be ound at www.copperconcept.org
In the next issue
Looking orward, we publish our next issue towards the en
2011. Tere will be a major eature on the2011 European Copp
Architecture Awards, reviewing the winning and shortlisted pro
to be announced at a ceremony in Brussels on 27th September, w
exclusive interviews o the architects. What we know now is
these Awards will reveal some o the most exciting new architect
ranging rom major icon structures to small, modest but beauti
designed and crated buildings.
Apart rom the Awards, we are already working on a real diversit
copper architecture projects, as well as topical issues. Our goals
Copper Architecture Forum are to inspire and inorm architects
designers but, above all, we hope that you fnd it both stimula
and enjoyable. We do value your eedback and hope that you
send your comments and suggestions or uture projects and to
