MIDDLEThe new Amory Middle School building contain stwo maj or elements : class and recitation space, an" upper school" equivalent to grades seven andeight and a "lower school" equiva lent to grades five

an d six, flanking a mutually utilized resourcescenter.There is no cafeteria as such. Each scho ol has amulti .purpose room which serves, among other purposes, as the dining room, served by hot and coldfood service car ts during the lun ch period.Expecting 12 months use, including evenings, thebuilding is all year air-conditioned.

The scho ol was planned to accommodate tw oteaching techniques : (a ) the conventi onal sys tem ofa teacher with a class group of some 30 stud en tsacting more or less independentl y of other classgroups and (b ) the more advanced sys tems accommodating teaching teams, specialists, all teachingaids that offer promise, group end eavors, and student participation in the teaching process.

It is expected that the teaching techniques whichwill finally be employed mu st be evolved over aperiod of years, and that this evolution will movefrom conventi onal methods to varying degrees ofadvanced techniques, many of which, judging by theprogress of the last 20 years, have yet to manifestthemselves.The school is still dominated by conventionallysized classrooms, bu t it will be noted that the usualarray of built-in classroom equipment is absent. Thisis an a ttempt to foi l the idea of a teacher becoming

SCHOOLattached to a particular classroom a her hom e base.Further, should expected advanced methods replacethose conventionally employed, there should be needfor fewer rooms of normal clas room size in favorof la rger spaces with individual carrels or similardevices. In that event , in termediate partitions havebeen planned for easy removal. Storage and equip.ment requirements for any stage of evolution ofclassroom areas will be met by loose and readilymovable items.

The resour ces center is conceived much more in-clusively than may be readily apparent from exami-nation of the plans. It is considered to include theph ysical education space (which also serves forla rge group gatherings), the books and per iodicalsarea , the audio visual and materials preparationcenter, the arts and crafts areas, and the science andmu sic areas. These have been planned to intersup-port one another. They are so related plan.wise thateach ma y serve uses beyo nd its prime teachingfunction. Facilities provided in one area are notduplicated in another. Upper and lower school teach-er's lounges, school centers, seminar and projectrooms are closely rela ted to the reso urces center.

The central area , a skylighted interior cour t, isplanned to be the most attractive of all interiorspaces. In addition to its prime functions, it servesas stud ent lounge and display center. Growing plants,pools and handsome furni shings form an in terioroasis, providing the visual and psychological reliefwhich an inward oriented plan required. S ITE. PL.ANE

T HE U. S. Air Force Academy Chapel, center of awordy controversy over modern design when firstproposed a decade ago, has brought one of archi-tecture's top accolades to its designer.

Th e America n Institute of Architects announcedthat the 1964. eighth annual R. S. Reynolds MemorialAward wi ll go to Skidmore, Owings & Merrill fordesign of the Chapel. Partner in charge and designerwas Walter A. Netsch, Jr., AlA, of the firm 's Chicagooffice. Hi s design ass istant for the project was RalphP. Youngren, AlA.

Largest in archi tecture, the R. S. Rey nolds Me-morial Awa rd annu all y brings $25,000 and an ori ginal sculpture to the recipient chosen by a ju ry ofarchi tects selected by the AlA. The Award is con-fen 'ed for dist in guished achievement in architecturewith signifi cant use of aluminum.Famed for its series of 17 gleamin g aluminumspires, the U. S. Air Fo rce Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, became a national landmarkeven before its completion and dedication last Sep-This photo shows th e spires of th e U. S.

tember. The spires, nsmg 150 feet to dominate theflat buildings of the Academy campus, are formedby 100 tetrahedrons made up of steel pipe framesclad inside and out with aluminum. Between thetetrahedrons run continuous strips of stained glass,designed in Chartres, which diffuse glowing colorsinto the chapel. The spires are anchored to concreteabutments.The Chapel provides separate worship facilities forthree maj or faiths. A Protes tant chapel, on the upperlevel, seats 900 persons. On the lower level, a Catholic chapel accommodates 500, and a Jewish chapel,100.Once cr iticized for its departure from the tr ad i-tional, the Chapel won increas ing praise as it nearedcompletion. With its machined materials str onglysymbolic of the air age, it is widely viewed in designand art circles as a compelling archi tectural expres-sion of modern man 's desire to worship . Its totalimpression is somewhat reminiscent of a Gothiccathedral.

The AlA Jury Report stated: "The light, airy feel-ing of th is beautiful soaring structu re, so appropri-ately placed in the center of a complex of relatedbuildings, dominating its env ironment in a mannersimilar to the cathedrals in villages of Europe, andreflectin g in its silhouetted structl)ral forms themountains of its background, is uniquely appropriateto this very special problem of a chapel for theUnited States Air Force Academy."

RAILROAD STATIONCOMPLEMENTS FAIRand

Soaring above the turnstile area of th e Long Island Railroad's New York World's Fair terminal, a400-foot long canopy offers protection from the elements to the millions of Fair visitors wh o willuse railroad facilities. Underside face an d edges of the 40-foot wide canopy are fabricated frompanels of World's Fair White Glasweld, a color specially produced for the Fair, according to UnitedStates Plywood Corporation.

M ILLIONS of visitors who enter the main entranceof the New York World's Fair will get theirfirst panoramic view of the exposition from a bright,attractive Long Island Railroad overpass speciallyconstructed to handle Fair traffic.

In keeping with the exciting building designsfound within the Fair, the railroad has providedfacilities equally modern and forward-looking. Soaring canopies and sparkling ticket booths enhance theover-all scene. These facilities are faced with Glasweld, asbestos-reinforced panels with a permanentlycolored all-mineral surface, distributed by UnitedStates Plywood Corporation.

One of the canopies, 400 feet long and 40 feetwide, protects the immense turnstile area of the ter-

5

minal from the elements. Fabricated of Glasweld,plywood and steel, the canopy consists of a ser ies offolded plates supported by Y-shaped columns andrafters. Another canopy, fabricated in the same manner, spans the top of the ramp which leads from theFair grounds up to the railroad's overpass.

A small office building located on the overpass isbuilt of World 's Fair White and bright red Glasweldpanels. The building will be used by railroad personnel who will be stationed at the Fair.

The office building and ticket booths were designedby the office of the railroad 's Frank Aikman, Jr. , vicepresident-chief engineer. Andrews and Clark, Inc.were structural engineers for the canopies.

On a four-acre triangularsite at the Philadelphia cityline, Triangle BroadcastingCenter ha s become radio-TV's forst circular facility. B R 0 A DCA 5 , C EN' E R

T HE new home of the WFIL Stations and Triangle's Broadcasting Division has already beenhailed as unique an d beautiful by artists, visitingbroadcasters , and a steady stream of passers-by whoare anxious to tour the premises. Here are some ofthe facts an d details about the new Triangle Broadcast Center.

Ground was broken April 16, 1962, bu t planningha d begun almost th ree yea rs before when it wasrecognized that the Market Street building was growin g inadequate, both because of the healthy expansion of the company and the rapid changes in broadcasting techniques . The wooded, four -acre is appropriately triangular. To design the circular edifi cewhich it was felt would permit maximum fun ctionalpotentials, Triangle management turned to one ofthe nation's foremost architects, Vin cent G. Kling.

Mr. Kling rendered a building design both hand some and useful, whose 80,000 sq uare feet of floorspace would comfortabl y accommodate the newestequipment, la rger studios, mo re offices and a moreefficient division of work areas than any conventionaldesign.

The circular fun ction peculiar to broadcastin g remained the central idea in the construction, the hubof the entire production process being th e operatingcenter at the core of the building. 1ncreased vision,economies in wiring and duct work, and shorter distan ces to walk are among the ben efits of this concentric floor plan. And the three larges t studios, segments of a circle, have a curved wall which providesa permanent cyclorama , the ideal backdrop.Being able to enter the building on the third floorlevel is one dramatic feature made possible by thesloping terrain. Cars can be driven into the th reemajor TV studios. The two lower fl oo rs house theadministrative functions, while the upper two contain all radio and ,television production activity.

The diameter of the building is 178 feet, but thestructure itself looks smaller to a person approachingthe entrance, because the eye can on ly see a smallportion of any circle from a given point.

Trian gle Broadcast Center is one of the few buildings in the Philadelphia area whose interior uses thesame materials and finish as its exteri or. Th e blendof cherry wood and masonry ca rries the outdoor

Lobby combines cherry wood, masonry, purple crystalgranite and sunshine in split-level spaciousness. The uniquecircular structure houses WFIL and headquarters of Trianglestations.

The fourth television studi o, aninterview studio, is located on the fourth leve l.Two radio studios, each with its own cont rolunit, and constructed around a central radiooperating center on the fourth level.Custom -designed automatic telev ision switchingequipment which pr e- ets station breaks, automatica lly switching to film, Videotape, andslides, assuring smooth true- time or elapsed -timeoperation for split-second operational functions.Brand-new special effects switching equipment ,custom built for each of the th ree la rger TVtudios, allowing for unique visual switchingeffects.More than 411 miles of telephone wiring have beeninstalled; and 49 miles of general wiring, not including wIfing for the broadcast install a tions, are transmitted in channels under the floors and in theceilings.Floor of the main lobby and en trance way is made

be the tallest building in San Diego when it is completed in 1966. Two floors will cover the 200-footby ISO-foot property from which the Orpheum Theatre building is now being cleared.

Other stories wi ll be in a centra l tower , 124 feetby 84 feet in size. Two stories in the tower will beused for air-conditioning, heating, and electricalequipment and other building services. One of theequipment levels will be at the seventh floor and another at the top floor.

Total gross area in the building, including theparking levels, will be 425,212 square feet.

The two lower floors of heavy granite columnsprovide a base for the vertica lly accented tower ofprecast concrete frames. The tower will be bone whitein color.

A spacious roof garden is designed atop the twostory base. Flood lighting fr om the roof gard en atnight will make the white tower a distinctive structure on San Diego's skylin e. The building will includecafeter ia and res taurant facilities, a barber andbeauty shop and other shops for the convenience oftenants.

Wide ramps lead to four floors beneath street levelwhere ample space for 300 cars will be available.Bank operations wi ll occupy approximatel y 100,000sq uare feet of space in the two base floors and eightfloors in the tower. Borthwick sa id approximately 62percent of the total building space has already been

alloca ted.Based on a five-foot module design , each_floor inthe tower con tains 8,000 square feet of useable office

space.

Tallest building in San Diego,Calif., will be this 25-story headquarters an d office building fo r th eFirst National Bank.
