Editorial

Bienvenido a un nuevo e interesante nmero de

Copper Forum.

Una de las muchas propiedades del cobre es la p-

tina natural que lo va recubriendo con el tiempo.

Segn su ubicacin, y el viento y clima reinantes,

es posible ver la rapidez con qu la brillante super-

fcie del metal nuevo adquiere nuevas dimensiones

de belleza y proundidad. Y precisamente cuando

usted pensaba que ya no cambiara ms, empiezan

a aparecer nuevos matices.

En este nmero, examinaremos la percepcin que

tienen los artistas de la magia del cobre: En el

cobre diviso un mundo de posibilidades y un con-

traste tan abuloso, que estoy enamorada de este

material, dice Marie Louise Kold, quien en sus

antsticas obras de arte en cobre experimenta con

distintos sistemas para conseguir la ptina.

Tambin analizaremos las tendencias que sigue la

arquitectura, donde el cobre se usa cada vez ms en

una amplia gama de superfcies y acabados, como

manifesta el arquitecto Chris Hodson, quien nos

gua por un periplo en el que presenta algunos proyectos

sumamente interesantes donde es el cobre quien confe-

re el toque fnal al edifcio. Tambin presentaremos La

Gua Verde, destinada a arquitectos, que se acaba de

publicar en el Reino Unido y es una especie de manual

en el uso de materiales de construccin que respetan

el medio ambiente. Desde la perspectiva del cobre, es

magnfco comprobar que en dicha gua nuestro metal

saca una nota muy alta como material de cubiertas y

achadas.

El ao prximo, 2009, llegar otra vez el momento de

entregar el galardn Copper Award para premiar el

mejor proyecto de Europa realizado usando cobre. Te-

nemos que haber recibido las propuestas de candidatos

en mayo de 2009. Evidentemente, Copper Forum ir

siguiendo los acontecimientos, y en ediciones uturas

presentaremos los proyectos propuestos.

Disrute de la lectura de estas pginas y recuerde que

agradeceremos sus aportaciones y comentarios. Pngase

en contacto con el jee de redaccin si desea enviarnos

material.

Nuevo edicio de Skellete Kratcon valores arquitectnicos clsicos

La nueva ocina central de la compaa elctrica sue-

ca Skellete Krat es un edicio que cuida los valores

clsicos de la arquitectura. Se ha construido con ma-

teriales de alta calidad y tcnicas bien probadas, y dis-

eado y planicado considerando un uso a largo plazo.

El objetivo era crear una obra interesante, uncional y

econmica, hoy y dentro de cincuenta aos.

La planicacin del edici se ealiz patiend de una pespec-tiva muy amplia, cn el cliente cm inquilin y administad.Est cnduj a la eleccin de slucines y sistemas ptimizadspaa el cste ttal de un cicl de vida, en el que se incluy launcinalidad, el mantenimient y ls gasts peativs.

Skellete Kat es una empesa de entea ppiedad del mu-nicipi de Skellete, Suecia, y cupa el puest de cuat sum-inistad de enega del pas. Desde la dcada de 1960 ha te-nid su cina pincipal en un punt cntic de la ciudad deSkellete. Debid a su cnstante cecimient aumentan las

necesidades de pesnal. En 2006 la empesa encag al gabinetede aquitects GA Sweden AB un pyect paalel de ampli-acin de las antiguas cinas, cn un extei simila, y lcalespaa nuevs cents de tabaj de pduccin y distibucin deenega elctica.

Cuand est teminad, el edici se el de may altua dela ciudad de Skellete. En su cent tiene un ati intei deseis plantas de altua paa cea dinmica scial y sensacin deactividad. Aleded del ati hay lcales de cina, cn gandessalas de eunin en las esquinas. La zna este es de dce plan-tas, cn una sala de juntas, y suites paa ejecutivs en la pate

supei.El dise del edici sigue lneas aquitectnicas clsicas que

han supead el pas de ls as. Est situad junt al inmuebleexistente de la empesa, cnstuid duante la dcada de 1960,que ha inuid en las altuas de las plantas y las dimensinesmdulaes. La cta bsica de 1300 se ha dividid en 400 y 900,y cnstituye la base de ls niveles, la seccin y la achada. Estasdimensines tambin se han eejad en el dise intei y enls techs.

El entamad del edici es pesad y etiene el cal, y estcnstuid de hmign vetid in situ, cn piltes inteiesy paed extei. La achada se ha cnguad paa que meuna estuctua sin usa mateiales gnics. es capas de pe-ns de ace pvists de mateial aislante, dets de placas debcement, sptan el evestimient de la achada, madp cassettes en paneles de cbe de 1,25 mm cn piezas de su-

jecin cultas. Las ventanas sn de alumini y estn adentadashasta la mitad del espes de las paedes. Junt cn ls cassettesde cbe y el empanelad intei de abedul, ppcinan unespes de paed ttal de 680 mm y una slida impesin de queel inmueble est evestid de chapa de cbe.Dent, el hmign est descubiet y cmplementad ppaneles de abedul y seccines de ace.Extenamente el edici est pacialmente evestid de chapametlica. Las hnacinas pundas y la paed extei selladacntibuyen a una etencin avable de la enega, educiendla adiacin tmica. A pesa de sus slids mus exteies, el

edici ece una impesin de ligeeza gacias a sus muchasventanas.

En 1924 se descubi en Bliden, en las aueas de Skellete,el may yacimient de cbe de Eupa. La vinculacin cn estemetal siempe ha sid muy intensa en esta ciudad, y la expei-encia administativa del cliente, que se emnta a un sigl ats,cntibuy a la eleccin del evestimient de la achada. Estecubieta cn 9 000 cassettes, cmpendiend chapa, ejas y ac-cesis de cimients, cnstuids tambin cm cassettes.

Cuand Maie Luise Kld qued cautivada p las caactes-ticas del cbe en 1997, se pecat en seguida de que este metalse cnvetia en su medi de expesin atstica. N ue unaeleccin evidente y n me puse las csas ciles ptand p unmateial que tiene tantas psibilidades de ceacin independien-tes. N bstante, en el cbe vi un mund de ptunidades y si-negias spendentes y, sencillamente, me enam, dice ella.

Mientas apenda a impimi cn planchas de cbe duante susestudis en la Escuela de Ate de Lund, en Suecia, ue cuand

Maie Luise bsev que la plancha de este metal ea ms as-cinante que ls impess que pduca. Especialmente cuandel cbe haba pedid su supecie iginal billante. La p-undidad y dinamism que mstaba la supecie del metal des-pus del mdentad, y al pasa el tiemp y al tcal, n pdatanseise al papel. P tant, ces de usal paa impimi, lcnvet en ba de ate y empec a expeimenta cn distin-tas maneas de altea la ptina que ma, cntina diciend.Despus de la escuela de ate, ecibi macin en metalugiay mldead cn undicin de bnce. Su intencin ea cncemej ls mateiales cpics y sus psibilidades.

Cm esultad de ell, la tcnica que bt duante el apen-

dizaje de la impesin cn gabads de cbe nunca ha temina-d de desallase en las mans de esta atista danesa.

Maie Luise Kld tabaja cn cbe, latn y bnce. Cmelements paa sus bas usa lmina de cbe de 0,05 mm, queella cnma tidimensinalmente, y paa ls dems elementsintegantes tata metal de 0,4-2 mm cn clu ic cidntic. La ptina subsiguiente la pduce cn clu de am-ni, amnac, sulat de cbe, nitat de cbe y sulat dehie, ente tas sustancias qumicas.

ambin usa ampliamente agua de la lluvia y el azue, sbetd paa ls etats gandes, que cmpne mediante miles de

peques cuads de cbe bnce, que patina individualmen-te antes de clcals un junt al t al igual que un mpe-cabezas gigante. Alguns de ls cuads ls deja a la intempeieduante das, ts duante meses. La acidez de la lluvia a causade su cntenid de azue, al igual que la cntaminacin, ceandistints matices. La ptina del metal a veces se cnviete enuna ma de expesa y medi el tiemp, y el pces psigueduante muchs as despus de que la ba haya abandnadlas mans del atista. P ell, las bas de ate expeimentan uncambi cnstante, pe lent.

Aplic un tatamient de cea cuand temin las bas. Estena ntablemente el pstei envejecimient, pe n l detie-ne. Ce que debea dejase que el metal cntinuaa mstandlas huellas de l que ha expeimentad, tant si es la intempeiecm gente que quiee tcal. La acultad de cambi del cbeue pecisamente l que despet mi intes. P tant, sea cm-pletamente equivcad paaliza este pces.

A medida que Maie Luise Kld desallaba su tcnica, tam-bin ceca la demanda lcal e intenacinal p su ate.

Cada ao se celebra en Finlandia una er ia de la vivienda sobre hogares de residencia perma-

cias del sector. La popularidad de estos certmenes ha ido aumentando en el transcurso del

tiempo. Este ao la eria de chalets de vacaciones tuvo lugar en la idlica isla de Reposaari, en la

costa occidental de Finlandia, aproximadamente a un kilmetro y medio del concurrido puerto

de Mntyluoto. El rea portuaria est separada del mar abierto por rompeolas, y la zona de

Kotka Town on the Baltic coast is the home o the sleek new wooden boat centre. Copper was

considered as the aade material rom the outset. The owner o the centre ound the copper

sailing boats.

Building details

Originally the copper sheeting was intended to be 0.8

mm thick, but in the end 0.7-mm thickness was used.

A total o 13,000 kg o Nordic Brown copper sheet-

ing and Luvata NSF Panel 402 aade lamellas were

used. However, the lamellas were slightly alteredater sample installation. The alteration was easy to

carry out as the sheet metal works had been com-

missioned to manuacture the lamellas. The 1,300

lamellas used were mainly sized 600x1800 mm. Also

200 kg o Nordic Prenet net sheeting was installed

on the building. Stainless-steel brackets and screws

were used as asteners, and the seaming is mostly o

double rebating type.

Additionally, there are curved suraces, which orm

the lower ceiling at the ends o the building. Double

rebating seaming could not be used on these sur-

aces, but they were seamed using the tongue-and-groove joints. The convex surace becomes partly

concave with a varying radius. All these details were

given careul consideration in advance, drawings

were made and approval received rom the architect

beore implementation. The substructure required

uncompromised precision rom the carpenters, but

the closely cooperating building crew managed to

overcome this problem, too.

The ramework o the building is supported by steel

arcs visible inside. Attached to the steel arcs are the

glued laminated timber, the plywood, the supporting

rails or the ventilation space, the surace plywoodand the elt used as the actual waterproong, on

which the copper sheeting is installed. The main con-

tractor o the building was YIT Rakennus Oy, which

had also previously done building work in the Kotka

area in cooperation with the sheet metal works. This

meant that the supervisors as well as the carpenters

knew each other rom beore, which acilitated the

implementation o a demanding project like this, and

ensured that scheduling and execution o the building

work went according to plan. The completed Kotka

Wooden Boat Centre is a ne example o superb de-

sign and skilled cratsmanship.

Tombak acade on administration andwarehouse buildingHorsensDenmark

Casa Entreprise has moved into its

new administration and warehou-

se building, where the client andarchitect chose to clad the administration

section with cassettes o Tombak, an alloy

consisting o 80% copper and 20% zinc.

Over time, the acade will change rom its

characteristic golden sheen to an attrac-

tive bronze colour.

The project involves around 2,000 m2 split

between two administration buildings and

associated warehouse sheds. The sheds

are built around a common manoeuvring

area at the back o the buildings, so thatthe administration acade aces the en-

trance.

By Mogens Prstegaard

Because the warehouse sheds need a

large manoeuvring area, it was only natu-

ral to keep their roofine the same as orthe administration buildings. As such, the

latter are integrated with the warehouse

sheds, to achieve harmonious incorpora-

tion o the building elements.

The administration buildings are raised

rom ground level, to create a good view

rom the oces and space or parking un-

derneath the building.

The sheds consist o light coloured con-

crete elements, and only the administra-

tion block is clad in Tombak.

The distinctive entrance consists o glassand black zinc.

De KorenbloemCreativity was given wings, when dierent surace patterns were al-

ternated on the copper aade o a Dutch block o fats. Pre-patinated

copper ribbons were toned in a patination procedure during produc-

tion. When the shades and lengths o the ribbons were varied, the

end result was entirely unpredictable. This kind o approach was

adopted by Rietvink Architecten bna., a Dutch architectural oce,

which designed the business and apartment building in Hoorn a

perect example o a successul and unprejudiced use o copper.

EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURALAWARDS LAUNCHThe 2009 European Copper in Architecture Awards have just been launched.

Architects involved with copper buildings are encouraged to enter and take advan-

tage o this major opportunity to present their work to an international audience.

These well-established Awards recog-

nise architectural excellence and cel-ebrate the use o copper in all its orms.

The last two decades have seen their

transormation rom a UK based pro-

gramme highlighting cratsmanship,

into a major, design-led Awards event or

projects across Europe. Following the

recent growth in entries over 70 at the

last event - rom a wide range o coun-

tries, the 2009 Awards 14 will, or the

rst time, consider all entries together

to select the very best in contemporaryEuropean architecture. This continuing

growth in interest in the Awards mirrors

the increasing popularity o copper and

its alloys as inspirational, as well as en-

vironmentally sustainable, architectural

materials.

The design-led competition covers re-

cently completed buildings in European

countries participating in the European

Copper in Architecture Campaign. Tobe eligible, all entries must incorporate

cladding, roong or other architectural

elements o copper or copper alloys,

such as bronze. But any building type

can be entered rom major landmarkprojects to more modest buildings.

There is also a discretionary award or

innovation in specic areas o relevance

today, such as sustainable building, eco-

nomical construction, preabrication,

conservation or new uses o copper.

Winning and shortlisted projects will

be eatured in a special issue o the

international magazine Architectural

Review, which will be available at theWorld Architecture Festival, held in

Barcelona during October 2009. As with

previous Copper in Architecture Awards,

the best entries will also be covered in

Copper Forum. All entries will be judged

by a panel o practising architects at the

oreront o design in Europe, chaired

by Paul Finch, Editor o Architectural

Review and Programme Director o

the World Architecture Festival. These

Awards are proving particularly impor-tant, not only to showcase the best and

most innovative uses o copper in con-

temporary design, but also to discover

By Chris Hodson

and present to a wide international audi-

ence exciting and inspirational architec-ture that might otherwise be missed.

Images and inormation on winning and

shortlisted projects rom recent Euro-

pean Copper in Architecture Awards

have been eatured in previous issues

o Copper Forum and brochures can be

downloaded rom the websites: www.

copperino.co.uk/arch and www.cop-

perconcept.org. Entry orms and details

o the 2009 Awards are also availableat these websites or via e-mail to: hel-

[email protected]. Entries must be

submitted by 31 May 2009 and the win-

ners will be announced at a presentation

in London, UK during September 2009

beore the World Architecture Festival.

It will be a pleasure to chair the 14th series o the Copper in Archi-

tecture Awards. Te standard o architecture in the submitted entries,

and the imaginative use o this attractive material, has increased

signicantly in recent years, with the 13th Awards setting a very high

standard indeed or those taking part in the coming year.

Architecture is an international activity these days, and the gradualevolution o the awards scheme to refect the increasing specication

o copper by architects working outside as well as inside their own

countries has been appropriate and worthwhile.

I look orward to a stimulating day o judging in 2009, and to meet-

ing the winners in due course.

Helsinki Music Housecurrent status

Ola Laiho, architect SAFA

Helsinki Music House is an im-portant investment in Finnishculture at the start o the third mil-

lennium. Once completed, it will

play an essential role in the Finnish

music lie.

The decision on the construction

o the Music House was made atthe beginning o summer 2008, ol-

lowing an implementation design

stage based on an architectural

competition, and a long decision-

making process.

The Music House will be located on

a central plot in downtown Helsinki,

opposite the Parliament House, in

the vicinity o the National Museum,

the Finlandia House, Kiasma andthe railway station. Copper as a ma-

terial contributes signicantly to the

townscape.

Elements o a luxury hotelin an apartment building

A company called OOO Settle City com-missioned Architectural Oce Gerasimov

and co with S.V. Petrova as the main architect

to design the apartment building. Te aade

o the building consists o our dierent units

connected by bright glass-walled lobbies. Te

19-apartment Stella Maris is not ar rom the

centre, on the beautiul Ristisaari Island. Te

island is in the River Neva Delta, where local

people oten gather to enjoy their leisure time.

It is easy to reach by underground. Tere are

a lot o other highly respectable houses and

parks on the island that people go to see and

admire or their architecture.

Stella Maris has its own granite street lead-

ing up to the building. Instead o the ordi-

nary, usually boring staircases, the building

welcomes those who enter with bright and

spacious lobbies. Te building also eatures a

beautiul conservatory where the lucky resi-

dents can enjoy an ever-lasting summer round

the year. In the building there is also a SPA

department and a gym, which enables the resi-

dents to keep ft without stepping outside. Te

basement also houses a sae car park, and boat

owners can dock right in ront o the building.

Anything that the residents could possibly de-

sire is certain to be available.

Tis type o community could also be called

a big amily as the residents can spend time

together on common premises. With shared

acilities it is, o course, extremely importan

that the residents have similar values and en

joy each others company. All this has bee

taken into consideration in the marketin

o the apartments, and the buyers are care

ully selected. Tis guarantees that the luxur

homes will hold their value and be attractiv

to uture buyers, too.

The Nordic Green PLUS copper onthe roo

As a whole, Stella Maris is the ultimate i

class with nothing but the best materials use

in construction. Te exceptional shape o th

roo draws a passer-bys attention, and th

our roo arcs can be seen as waves in the sea

Te aade o the building has a lot o glass

which means the inside is bathed in light and

oers magnifcent views o the river. Finnish

copper manuactured by Luvata Pori Oy ha

been used or the roo. Te malleable materia

is easy to shape, so the creation o the curve

and bends o the building involved no di

culty. Te shade o colour used is the patin

green Nordic Green PLUS to match the sur

roundings and complement the combinatio

o glass and brown rock. Te superb Stell

Maris won a silver medal in the Rakennus

taide Architectural Competition in 2007. T

apartments under the glowing copper roo

are certain to live up to the expectations o

the most demanding resident.

The ve-storey Stella Maris apartment building is a ne example o mo-dern architecture and high-class homes in todays St Petersburg. Side byside with the old and historically valuable buildings there are luxury homes

that represent the latest in modern architecture and eature every concei-

vable service under one roo. Architects have been able to come up with and

implement innovative ideas more or less unheard-o in ordinary building con-

struction. Stella Maris is one o these ascinating buildings, and it was awar-

ded a silver medal in the Rakennustaide 2007 Architectural Competition.

Architects Heikki and Kaija Siren won the invitational

design competition in 1960 and the Building was com-

pleted in 1968.

Te design cncept the building is built n a cicle placedat the jint tw ectangula cdinate systems unning indieent diectins. It thus ceates a link in the twnscape. Tebase diamete the building is 76.4 m and the depth the

ame is 17.2 m.

Te cicula building is an fce blck with cmmecial aci-lities n the gund . Te cubic vlume the building is125 000 m3.

Te building displays sme mdenistic achitectual elements,such as the cntinuus windws n the aades and the at. Cntinuus windws dminate the aades in a cnsist-ent manne. Te clean gemetic shape the building, n thethe hand, suggests classical achitectue, mdenism withclassical inuences. It culd als be said that the building beasesemblance t the 19th centuy achitectual heitage Hel-sinki. Te asymmetical pats the building ae und in theaea the st tw s.

Te building envelpe is cveed with mbak (achitectualbnze). Te inmatin n the cmpanies and ganisatinsthat ccupy the building is displayed n the aade as pat the achitectual appeaance the building, with a caeully

thught-ut elatinship between the text and the aade. Tetext type used in the displayed inmatin has als been de-ned, and the density cntast between the inmatin and thebackgund has been ptimised. N maj deviatins m theplans have ccued ate the building was st cmpleted.

Te building was envated in 2004. renvatins cveed a ttalaea ca. 36 000 m2 and the cut-yad was als emdelled.Te envatins wee designed by achitect Jukka Sien, whcntinues the wk his paents. Te bjective the enva-tins and the alteatins was t incease light inside the buildingand t mdenise the acilities taking the chaacte the build-ing int accunt.

Te building has becme patinated ve time. Te ciculabuilding is a signicant element in the twnscape, and the mlanguage and the technical implementatin ae a gd stand-ad. It is an intenatinally knwn bject achitectue.
