A new format for FOCUS ON ZINC

Your reactions to our special issue concerning

the ARCHIZINC trophy have been extremely

positive, in terms of both content and form. For

the editorial team, this edition was a turning

point as the magazine reaches a level of

maturity where editorial choices can be made

with outside partners, and where architectural

interest takes pride of place within our selected

information.

We have decided to mark this turning point

with a redesigned layout for the magazine,

bringing it right up to date and more in line

with your preferences, emphasizing

photographs and graphics, supported by low-

key textual contribution.

We hope that this issue will validate these

choices, with a traditional editorial choice of

projects. At the same time, it is also intended

to serve as a springboard for our next

ARCHIZINC trophy. Enclosed with the magazine,

you will find the entry form for the next

edition of the trophy, and we hope to receive a

selection of projects that will be at least as

enriching as the last one. As before, projects

will be submitted to an independent jury, and

the trophy winners will be presented in a

special issue of FOCUS ON ZINC issued in

September 2006.

Both ourselves as editors, and you as readers,

were delighted with the first ARCHIZINC trophy,

so we hope we can count on you for another

truly enriching experience.

The editorial committee

The number of projects proposed to our editorial

team of FOCUS ON ZINC has risen sharply. Far

more than a sign of the success of the magazine,

we take this as a success for our overall

commercial offer.

Today we have to take this offer far beyond the

standards of quality and proximity that we have

been used to providing. Market demands change

fast and we have to adapt our offer to new

applications, whether for local conditions in

a specific geographical area, or for building

applications where zinc is relatively new, such as

those in the area of facades, or for the increasing

constraints related to environmental issues.

These considerations have far-reaching

implications for our production and we are

investing in modernizing and upgrading our

facilities in all our main plants.

Other implications are on the jobs that are

expected from us. Over the years, the services

we provide have extended progressively and our

commercial teams are becoming increasingly

specialized and highly qualified. Our teams are at

your service, whenever and wherever in the world

you may need them. We are convinced we have

made the right choice in putting a complete

palette of services at your disposal and we hope

to continue to surprise and delight you, not only

through the quality and diversity of our offer, but

also through the values associated with our brand,

which we strive to demonstrate whenever we

meet you.

VARIATION ON A THEME

While decidedly original, Presspoint blends

perfectly with the private houses that surround it

in the suburbs of Gand. It is a stylistic composition,

extemporizing on the theme of versatility and

differentiation. Versatility of function, since the

building, used as an office at present, will become

a private house one day. Differentiation, because

the architect has renounced traditional design in

favour of fluidity of movement. He sees this as

necessary to achieve the “expected versatility and

the requisite smooth transition between the two

concepts”. A study in contrasts, Presspoint

emphasizes the light and transparency of the

interior spaces and the closed and monolithic

character of its facades – magnificently enhanced

by cladding in ANTHRA-ZINC.

Turin to the west and Udine to the east, two northern Italian cities which

face the mountains on one side and overlook the plain on the other. Built

in the centre or on the edge of these cities, three zinc clad buildings,

- one housing flats, the others offices - speak to us, each in their own

way, of transition and contrast. In Turin, the initial impression is of the

continuity of a block of flats built on the edge of an industrial zone, while

the Collegno 2000 office building, bordering on a predominantly rural

area, plays on opacity and transparency. In Udine the tone is radically

different, the daytime dark aspect of the ANTHRA-ZINC clad Astra tower

only becomes luminous when night falls.

FASCINATING RHYTHM

In Washington, the head offices of the Kayser Family

Foundation, which provides grants to support the fight

against AIDS, are situated in an urban landscape more

reminiscent of New York than the open spaces around

the nearby White House. Although the building is no

skyscraper, the architect emphasises its height drawing

the eye upward by means of a soaring glass facade

surmounted by an elegantly curved balcony.

Horizontal laid zinc aprons echo the balcony at each

level of the facade and on one side of the building.

These zinc panels, manufactured in the USA by the

POHL company, are installed using a pin fixed to a rail

– a fast, practical system which makes on-site

transforming unnecessary.

A FRESH START

1,000 km from Brasilia, the capital built ex nihilo

at the end of the 1950s, São Paulo, as its many

monuments attest, is a historic city. Built in 1901,

in a style that would do justice to Paris or London,

its central station is part of an urban heritage

which the Sao Paolians wanted to preserve and

rehabilitate. In its choice of the most appropriate

roofing material for a coherent renovation, the

Roberto Marinho foundation turned to Umicore’s

technical support team. Now the old

administrative building, clad in 4,000 sq. m of

pre-weathered rolled zinc, is off to a fresh start,

remaining true to its vocation of communication as

it is now dedicated to the preservation of the

Portuguese language.

NATURAL SURROUNDINGS

The Poles go to Sopot, on the Baltic not far from

Gdansk, for relaxation and for a change of scene

in a European tradition of seaside resorts close to

large conurbations. The first constraint in building

the Water Park – with its bathing facilities,

bowling alley, restaurants and even offices – was

to respect the surrounding beech forest which

extends right up to the shore. To do this, the

designers limited the height of the building and

clad it in materials – particularly zinc – which

harmonise with the seasons and the colours of

the forest and are suited to the rigorous climate.

URBAN DYNAMICS

Barcelona, a city on the move, has recently

boasted a new development on its north-east

shore, the Forum de las Culturas, a major attraction

which has established it as the most European of

Spain’s big cities. Covering 200 ha, the Forum is

organized around an esplanade and three

peninsulas. This new seafront facing both the sea

and the city exemplifies the most innovative

architectural and urban trends by associating a

recreational harbour, a bathing area, an aquarium,

etc. with distinctly public facilities – apartments,

university buildings, offices… In the heart of this

complex rises the Centro de Convenciones

Internacional de Barcelona (CCIB); built around a

3,200 seat auditorium, finally allowing the ancient

Catalan city to compete in organizing conventions

with the big northern capitals such as London,

Berlin, Amsterdam and Vienna.

A NEW LOOK

“What is a school? – a collection of classrooms!”

Strictly translated into three dimensions this

definition has given rise to hundreds of

interchangeable buildings throughout France. By

contrast, the architect Jean-Luc Gueho seems to

have asked, “What can I do?” when he thought

about the extension to the Beaumanoir middle

school in Ploërmel (Morbihan). Lines, materials,

colours… he has played in every register so that his

project fits the spirit and climate of its

surroundings. Inside, the curved roof adds volume

to the space dedicated to the documentation and

information (CDI) centre and to the multimedia

rooms. And on the outside, the zinc cladding

makes light of the vagaries of the weather.

«The slightly sloping roof, which allowed us to

work with the volume and improve the quality of

the interior spaces, led us to choose zinc roofing.

The watertightness of this solution meets the

expectations of owners, for it reduces

maintenance work. Moreover, it provides better

soundproofing than concrete roof terraces.»

REBIRTH

Beirut has turned its face towards the future

without turning its back on its past. This message

is clear in the approach taken by architect Youssef

Haidar to the restoration of the city’s oldest

monument: the Al Omari Great Mosque.

Painstakingly preserved, the walls of the XIIth

Century edifice, on which the mosque was built,

shelter a thousand-year history of memories. To

bring this heritage into the present, the architect

has created a museum and auditorium in the

basement. New additions, – a courtyard, a gallery

with twelve cupolas and a minaret – extend the

monument and communicate physically and

spiritually with the revived city and the heavens.

«In addition to the restoration work required, we undertook to create

the city, nourished by centuries of history but resolutely turned towards the

future, this renovated heritage time capsule represents a primary element,

a new beginning…»

PROTECTIVE WING

«This is the first time that the VM ZINC PLUS compact roofing

system has been used in Spain. The system is characterised

by its complete watertightness and the elimination of the

risks of thermal bridges.

The VM ZINC PLUS process is a key element of the system

as the zinc is protected on the underside by a 60 micrometer

polymerised resin based lacquer, and has been patented by

Umicore.»

Juan Cortes, Umicore Building Products Ibérica - Spain

An extension is always a delicate project,

particularly when it concerns a symbolic building

like this internationally renowned museum. The

primary consideration of the Jean Nouvel

architectural team (AJN) in enlarging the Queen

Sofia museum in Madrid, was to respect the

imposing Sabatini building, home of Guernica and

many other masterpieces, and express the

allegiance of the new buildings. A library, an

auditorium and temporary exhibition rooms

surround a treed courtyard and are united beneath

an immense wing which both attaches and

subjugates them to the main building. “In order to

expand, the museum has spread a delicate wing

in the same colour as the roofs, a friendly,

protective wing, to show visitors it is watching

over them,” says Jean Nouvel.

FREE STYLE

Respect for the independence of the parts and

integration into a whole. These two key requirements

of the specifications for the extension of the České

Budějovice skating rink, in Bohemia, are expressed

architecturally by a roof whose underside inevitably

reflects the icy surface on which the skaters practise

their skills. Joining the existing building and the new

ones, this roof will have to stand up to wind, rain,

snow and ice. It combines a wood and steel structure

with a QUARTZ-ZINC® covering - the ideal material to

hug the elliptical profile smoothly.

CONNECTIONS

Built on a terrace opening on to a view of the city,

the new conference and exhibition centre in

Merida tunes into the spirit of its surroundings and

offers visitors an auditorium, conference and

exhibition halls. The building suggests

interconnection between outside and inside spaces

by giving priority to movement and flow,

emphasizing connecting passages more than

enclosed spaces. With a stage open at the back,

the 1,000-seat auditorium is connected to the

small meeting room to invite us to new

explorations. This message is discreetly echoed by

the zinc, which is more in evidence on the inside,

cladding walls and covering panels and doors, than

on the outside where the architect has given the

leading role to highly textured concrete – whose

motifs present a mosaic plan of the city.

To the south of Namur, the Chevetogne estate is

an immense “green” leisure park known and

appreciated by Walloons of all ages. Discovering

the flora and fauna, exploring gardens, horse-

riding, mountain bike, games, music, good food,

etc.; there is an abundance of choice. But how

indeed can anyone choose? Visitors are channelled

through the visitor reception, built at the edge of

the park, before they can walk out along its paths.

Inspired by the spiralling movement of beech

leaves falling to the ground, the architect’s design

and the colours used were a natural development

–and visitors now refer to it as the “feuille

d’information”– a leaf from the guidebook!

DEDICATED TO BUSINESS

With its curved facade, which echoes the adjacent

motorway, and with signs advertising the leading

brands that are the signature of today’s capitals,

Prague’s BB Centrum has a family resemblance

with the business centres that flourish in all major

modern metropolises. It holds its own with its

public areas, company restaurants, car parks, etc.,

and through services and prestige. In addition to

aesthetic considerations, the architects wanted to

protect the building from the urban atmosphere,

hence their choice of zinc, which convinced both

by its technical performance and by its aesthetics.

TIMELESS

Watching a river flow past invites us to meditate

on time. Perhaps because it overlooks the

Brisbane River, or perhaps because the activities it

houses – cinema, television – fix the images of

passing time, the new head office of the Cutting

Edge group seems to inspire this kind of reflection.

By choosing sculptural lines and a very

contemporary profile for the project and combining

materials such as zinc that bear the patina of time,

with those such as cement and glass which age

without changing, the architect, Richard Kirk

wanted to express his vision of a timeless creation.

He has succeeded: the work has just been

immortalised by receiving the Royal Australian

Institute of Architects (RAIA) prize for best

commercial project.

SUSTAINABLE VALUES

In Switzerland, everyone knows the saga of Migros,

the distribution company created in 1925 by

Gottlieb Duttweiler, a visionary and forerunner of

what today we would call social responsibility. Its

delivery trucks supplied villages until the 1980s.

The group became very powerful without

abandoning the quality of life values which made it

famous, and opened shops, then built shopping

centres. The one it has just built in the north of

Switzerland in Herzogenbuchsee is both a return to

its roots and a confirmation of its avant-garde

spirit. A return to its roots because

Herzogenbuchsee also makes quality of life its

motto and credo. Avant-garde through its choice of

resolutely contemporary architecture and cladding

with locally manufactured cassettes. The

horizontally lines of the cassettes emphasise the

elongated profile the architect envisaged for the

building. The meticulous, very flat treatment of the

window frames and surrounds gives the building a

very smooth appearance.

TRADITION AND MODERNITY

Austrians do not wait for the snow to melt their

buildings into their surroundings. They have always

played with shapes and chosen natural materials

that blend their buildings into the surrounding rock

and tree landscape. Architect Ekkehard Stummvoll

has remained true to this tradition in designing the

building that houses the Fügen M-Preis “Mini-

market” in the Tyrol. The building, with its long

lines, blends into the horizon. The colour of the

zinc roof closely reflects soft wood hues and at the

least ray of sunshine the entire building glows

thanks to its natural wood facade.

OUT OF THE EARTH…

Water is an increasingly rare resource, and ever

more sophisticated technologies are being used to

distribute drinking water. On the edge of Århus,

the second biggest city in Denmark, the Østerby

waterworks draw water from an artesian well and

treat it before storing and distributing it. Hidden

underground, to protect them from light,

manmade processes and installations substitute for

Nature’s work of filtering and purifying. The only

evidence of these hidden operations and the

technology involved are the administration

buildings and public areas of the waterworks,

completely clad in ANTHRA-ZINC, which figuratively

rise out of the earth.
