Carnegie Pavilion

摘要

As a condition of the planning consent for this site, the building profile to Kirkstall Lane steps inward as the building rises in an attempt to reduce the mass of the architecture against the street. The triangular rainscreen facade was used as a 'wrapper' to unify the changing profile of the allowable floor plates to create an external glove. The facade form was fully 3D-modelled to derive bespoke node connection points from which the triangular panels spring and the connections themselves had to allow for 3D movement and adjustment on site. Mesh reveals span from the rainscreen panels back to the triangular glazed openings to provide continuity with the glazing.
