When first thinking about beauty and how I might define it I immediately thought of three things: the Dollhouse in Canyonlands, the Subway in Zions and one of my favorite styles of architecture, gothic cathedrals. All of these places, in various degrees, have influenced the design and decisions of these buildings. Being an avid hiker I am naturally drawn to these types of spaces. During the design process I continually referred to what, exactly, drew me to these spaces. With some it was the towering closely spaced walls and others it was the open spaces that offered a variety of conditions. To me these spaces have an experience that can be found in no other place. In trying to define and explore what makes these spaces important to me and then implement them within the buildings so that others might have the potential for that same experience that was so important to me. Along with beauty, sustainability can also enforce the experiences that are found in these spaces. Sustainability plays a vital role in architecture today, even if you don't believe that the issues that plague our world are true. To me the sustainable ideas of a project only reinforce its concept and help to educate the observer of its importance. There is a tenet in hiking called ‘Leave No Trace' that tries to instill into each and every person that experiences the wilderness that we need to leave it as we found it or in better condition. This particular idea is what has driven the sustainability side of this design. Each and every material or building system has been selected to enforce the ideas of ‘Leave No Trace'. From the photovoltaic glazing to the Living Machines to the operable glazing system to the electric ropeway. Each of these systems was not only selected and designed around to make the building highly energy efficient, but to also increase the comfort level and experience of each and every person that experiences the building. The construction and structure of each of the buildings has been designed in such a way as to minimize the on site space needed for construction, therefore minimizing the impact on the site. By utilizing a standing crane that can reach each building the time frame and also the space needed is reduced dramatically versus building a bridge across the river. The ropeway provides the main means of access to and from the Winery to the Administration building which leaves a minimal impact on the site while also emphasizing the experiential qualities of the building locations. The envelope was also designed to be as highly energy efficient as possible allowing radiant tubing to be installed in the hollow core tubes in the structural system. The envelope wall construction is estimated to have an r-value in excess of 65. Due to the preconstruction methods the structural system is also a major component of the envelope. The envelope is designed to be created into 10'-0" wide panels of hollow core concrete with 9" of rigid insulation on the outside that can be quickly 2 craned into place and erected much faster than traditional methods of steel frame construction. The concrete is placed on the inside of the walls to give the interior space a thermal mass to aid in controlling the temperature fluctuations of the spaces, especially in the Barrel Storage room. The building is designed to be a net zero building, but without energy modeling it is difficult to know if that might be achieved. The first priority of energy efficiency was given to orientation, then envelope design, ventilation and then if supplementary means of energy production are needed (i.e. - photovoltaic arrays) renewable energy systems could then be implemented. Each of the three buildings in this winery project have been designed to achieve this same goal, but each having their own slightly different design, utilizing the same ideas of prefabrication and energy efficiency. It is hoped that through the envelope design that the vast majority of the energy savings can created and then, if needed, other systems could be easily added to get the buildings the rest of the way to the goal of net zero or even zero plus, all while creating a very environmentally friendly and highly experiential building. BASIS OF DESIGN 3 CONCLUSIONS When thinking of beauty and sustainability there are a number of conclusions that I have found during the design of this project. º Technology does not necessarily make a building automatically beautiful, in fact sometimes quite the opposite, but it does enable the designer to achieve certain designs that would otherwise not be possible. º Some use new technologies as much as possible, thinking that just by using it their building is beautiful or sustainable, but sometimes it is my belief that a more simpler means of design or construction is typically better and usually more beautiful. º In my opinion the site or program has a tendency to drive what technological methods are used. For instance in our site has massive amounts of sun exposure, therefore photovoltaic arrays might be well suited, but also due to the same reason large overhangs to shield windows and openings. I think that adapting the building to these certain site conditions creates a much more architecturally interesting project that reflects the site conditions and this not only makes the building more beautiful and sustainable. º The intersection of beauty and sustainability and the use of the two that makes a building become architecture. Without one of those then the building is either incredibly inefficient or it not a building that people want to visit, but with both you create a space that not only helps to improve our environment, but also creates a much more inviting and experiential space. º For me, I think that it is obvious that each project will have varying degrees of beauty and sustainability and that by finding to what degree each is used is vital. By finding a place between full sustainability and full beauty a building is designed that is both environmentally sensitive and interesting to the occupant. This area of the country is very environmentally sensitive and by using aspects of design that are in concert with the local environment the building becomes more than just a typical building and transcends the typical building stock to become architecture. 4 CONCEPT - Images Santa Maria del Mar, Barcelona Subway, Zions National Park Dollhouse, Canyonlands National Park 5 ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN North State Road 9 Site Entry/Parking Winery Building Tasting/Dining Building Administration Building Virgin River 6 SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES Appearance: See Thru features a smooth light grey finish that allows diffused light to enter into the building, 1%, 5% or 10% visible light transmittance is available. Energy Savings: The laser-etched photovoltaic cells in See Thru simultaneously generate electricity and block the sun's rays. Performance: Suntech See Thru absorbs more solar heat than low-e glass, which tends to simply reflect heat away. With See Thru, heat and light from the sun's rays are absorbed and converted into electricity by the photovoltaic interlayer. Performance Comparison See Thru Heat reflective glass Heat cut 89.8% 33.7% Visible light 10.6% 65.9% UV cut 99.9% 59.5% Operable Glass Facades: To provide a greater clear opening space. A special mechanism inside the mullion will open the bottom louvres in a downward motion whilst opening the top louvres in the reverse direction. Energy Savings: Operable windows create a breeze way through the space, which in the summer can significantly reduce the need for air conditioning. The Living Machine allows for on site, local water recycling, producing fresh water for irrigation, toilet flushing, industrial processes, washing equipment or animal areas, filling landscape water features (i.e. fish ponds) and other uses. The amount of water that exits the system is almost equal to the water that enters the system. Benefits over other treatments systems include: • Lower operating costs • Advanced quality fresh water suitable for reuse • Small footprint and readily scalable for high volume • Low energy consumption and low GHG emissions • Aesthetic quality, integrating the beauty and complexity of nature into the structure of buildings - providing residents and visitors with an educational experience and direct tangible connection to natural systems. 7 LIVING MACHINE - Diagram Wastewater Influent Primary Tank Effluent Filter Horizontal Flow Wetland Tidal Wetland Disinfection System (optional) Control Panel Reuse Storage Tank Reuse System • Flow equalization • Buried • Concrete or plastic • Solids settling • Filtered effluent • Indoors / outdoors • Aggregate filled with aquatic vegetation • No surface water (ponding) • Denitrification • BOD and TSS removal • Aggregate filled with emergent plants • No surface water (ponding) • Alternating drain and fill cycles • Simultaneous BOD removal, • denitrification and nitrification • Nonpotable reuse • Potable reuse with reverse osmosis system • Water supply for toilets or irrigation • Surface or subsurface disposal 8 WINERY BUILDING - View from Admin. 9 VIEWS - South Across Site 10 ADMINISTRATION BUILDING - Floor Plan North Living Machine Lower Crush Pad General Office Conference Retail Office Break Room 11 ADMINISTRATION BUILDING - Elevation 12 WINERY BUILDING - Lower Floor Plan Bottling/ Shipping Break Rm.
