SPECIAL ISSUE No.3 - ARCHIZINC TROPHY
The ARCHIZINC Trophy
This second edition of the ARCHIZINC
Trophy has confirmed its success. The
jury considered the overall quality of
the submissions to be very impressive
and selecting the final winners was far
from simple.
It is certainly unusual for an industrial
company to take up the challenge of
sponsoring an architectural prize with
an associated magazine, presenting a
truly neutral opinion from the major
actors in the construction industry.
In the end the choice was made easier
by the heterogeneity of the jury. The
varying international origins of the jury
members, and the different functions
each of them occupies in the
construction industry, meant that
consensus, when achieved, was a sure
proof of quality. Under the masterly
chairmanship of Dominique Boudet, the
jury came up with a selection of
prizewinners that is truly excellent, in
the diversity of the styles and functions
of the buildings, in the reasoning for
the awards, in the countries of origin,
and in the varying applications
of VM ZINC®.
In undertaking such an action under our
brand VM ZINC®, we are convinced that
we could have no greater ambition than
to let our products speak for
themselves.
We hope you enjoy these pages and
will share with us the genuine pleasure
of contributing to a better architectural
world.

Editorial
Chairing the second ARCHIZINC Trophy
jury provided far more than the
expected pleasure of meeting the new
members of the jury.
We were all very impressed by the very
high quality of the projects submitted.
The ARCHIZINC competition seems to
have awakened great interest among
building professionals, as witnessed by
the selection of creations presented to
us for deliberation. Suffice it to say that
it was sometimes very difficult for the
jury to come to a decision.
It was very stimulating to chair lively
discussions with a jury whose members
represented so many professions and
countries. The consensus we reached
highlighted a group of very rich
projects, which reflect the flexibility of
zinc, this beautiful, eternally renewed
material.
On presenting the awards – beautifully
crafted trophies representing the
different aspects of the material –
we reflected on the undoubtedly
glorious future of this trophy, given the
first class quality of the winners. The
challenge for the manufacturer
sponsoring it will certainly be to sustain
their communication at a level which is
as highly creative as the projects
themselves!
The ARCHIZINC Trophy seems destined
for a wonderful future.

Winner Individual Housing
& the Environment Prize
Opening onto the ocean without turning its back on land: this was the request
which gave birth to a “flexible black box, which merges into the landscape” of
the Costa Verde. The architect Pablo Oriol Salgado tells us the design of the house
owes everything to the sea, the environment, the sky and the North wind. The
land-sea duality is reflected by the shutters, which are either open to the four
horizons, or closed to shelter the family from an ever present outdoor
environment.
The construction principles applied to this sophisticated design were rooted in a
profound concern for the environment. The house has a sophisticated sectored
insulation system which optimises energy consumption, a rainwater management
system which notably incorporates a rainwater recycling system and a planted
roof. There were three reasons for the choice of ANTHRA-ZINC® which entirely
covers the upper level: it met the requirement that the building blend into its
immediate environment (colour and aspect), it ensured a long life-span and
resistance to the marine environment and it complied with the owner’s wish to
use a 100% recyclable material.

About 150 km south of Sydney, in a spot hidden from the ocean,
this summer residence encourages us to forget time and other
buildings. The transition between the driveway and the outside
garage and the house is made by a simple passage which opens
onto a view of lush vegetation, with the splendid Great Diving
Range mountains on the horizon, their constantly shifting colours
reflecting the passage of time. The slightly elevated house is
situated on two sides of the square patio and swimming pool, its
glass wall extending the lines of the patio and fitting into an
environment which blends their spare lines.
Lines is the operative word as a pattern of intersecting lines was
chosen for the façade of this modular building, using the
interlocking panel system in naturally time and weather resistant
UARTZ-ZINC® for the main building and ANTHRA-ZINC® for the
separate garage.

Upscale
At the intersection of th Avenue and 15th Street, Porter House adds an
original touch to the rich architectural mix of historic Manhattan. In the country
that invented the loft, the conversion of a wine warehouse built in 1 05 into a
luxurious 22 apartment condominium building gave rise to an unusually
extensive rehabilitation involving literally grafting a four storey extension
onto the building using a daring cantilever system. The vertical light boxes
which draw the passer-by’s eye upward day and night, give a sense of
lightness to the addition. The metal framework of the extension is clad in
ANTHRA-ZINC® which is one of the outstanding features of the project. “We
wanted to work with a limited number of materials, reduce material
wastage to a minimum in the production phase and speed up construction,”
explained Gregg A. Pasquarelli, from Architects SHoP. Data in an Excel table was
processed by a three dimensional design programme to create working
drawings for all the facades. Using data transfer, the panels could then be cut,
formed and identified automatically on the manufacturer’s premises. This giant
3,800 piece jigsaw puzzle then only remained to be assembled.

T R O P H Y
This public housing development, consisting of 11 residences in Merksplas, north east of
Antwerp, demonstrates that public housing does not necessarily mean dull. These six,
two-storey buildings, built over a semi-underground parking garage, are neither imitation
country cottages nor impersonal apartment buildings but resemble detached houses in
which the architect wanted to create a new type of home. The project melts into the
landscape which flows up to and through the houses thanks to the openness of the
front and rear facades and, less obviously, provides the residents with a garden on the
sides. Breaking with usual public housing habits, the project uses different materials
– Natural VM ZINC®, ANTHRA-ZINC®, orange ceramics – on the façade and the roof to
balance the strict unity of the design with a rhythmic effect. The least ray of sunshine
makes the interior surfaces light up and adds that touch of optimism which is the
signature of the Teema office.

The beginnings of Australia’s architectural history, along the shoreline, dates
back to the early I th Century. In what was not yet the city of
Sydney but simply a landing stage which would later become an industrial port,
Glebe Harbour came into being in the form of Victorian terraced houses. The
following century, outclassed by new buildings, the district became one of the
poorest in the town and was neglected for a very long time. The fruit of a
development and rehabilitation plan, the new Glebe Harbour, built on
23,000 sq. m, in the shadow of the Anzac Bridge, is made up of 135 contemporary
residences divided into five independent complexes, inspired by the maritime
tradition of the area and designed to blend seamlessly with the village
atmosphere of the peninsula. Wishing to cover the facades of two of these
complexes with rectangular panels to obtain a vertical profile in staggered
sections, the architects found a solution in the VM ZINC® DE TER system which
matched their aesthetic expectations and did not require any particular protection
with plating or varnish to withstand the onslaughts of the marine climate.
Since the pre-formed panels are delivered ready to install they represented a
suitable solution from the financial point of view.

Reflections
In the small Canadian city of Waterloo, near Toronto, the physicists of the Perimeter Institute for
Theoretical Physics focus their research on the biggest problems of modern theoretical physics,
such as string theory or the symbiosis between particle physics and cosmology, etc. Since it
wished to attract the best experts and rapidly become a world class research centre, this private
institute, founded in 1
, recently invested in a new building to serve as a showcase for the
advanced research carried out there and to “host scientific conferences and public events without
disturbing the work of the researchers in residence”. Overlooking a pool which reflects the ambient
light, the north-west façade, essentially made up of vast picture windows, interprets and literally
expresses this requirement, thanks to the UARTZ-ZINC® interlocking panel cladding which
both draws a protective curtain across the main amphitheatre, and individualises and
emphasises the subtle offsetting of the 44 offices.

A journey back in time
Modern museography and archaeology dictate that museums must be built
directly on the sites to display the relics in their own environment and in the state
they were in when discovered. At Burgos castle on the San Miguel hill, the
archaeological park of the old fortress invites us to travel back in time to the Ith
Century ingdom of Castile, by following a walkway which leads from the old
“Plaza de armas” to the parapet walk which offers a view over the town.
Along the way, two buildings are set down among the ruins. One houses
an exhibition of the objects discovered during the excavations, the other shelters
the access to the underground galleries, while a third, very stylised structure draws
attention to the masonry of the ancient well. On this very rich archaeological site
which is destined for further excavation, the light wooden buildings (structure and
cladding) express the reversibility of the structures desired by the architect who,
however, wished to crown the structures with a “very high quality roof which
would not change their light, modern, intentionally abstract appearance”. The
technical constraint of maintaining a sense of lightness and the aesthetic
constraint of the shallow pitched roof led to the choice of a Natural VM ZINC®
standing seam roof, equally suitable for the exterior shape, for the interior spaces
with their ceiling covering and for the light wells.

For this station, where trains and passengers are simply in transit,
the architect, Nikos Gortsios, wanted to maintain the impression
of space and fluidity. For the reconstruction from A to Z of the
Perissos station, on line 1 of the Athens urban network, he based
his design on only three words, “lightness, movement and speed”.
Designed to provide maximum shelter from the sun or inclement
weather without hampering the flow of light and air, the building
resembles two aircraft wings. After all, what can be lighter and
more protective than a wing The two “wings” are 100 m long
and slightly curved to follow the lines of the railway track. They
are made up of five prefabricated metal roof frames which were
assembled on site. Only after the wings had been installed on the
seven irregularly placed posts did each wing receive its triple metal
covering: pre-formed steel and aluminium sheets on the underside
and a UARTZ-ZINC® standing seam roof - all without interrupting
train circulation.

If everyday life sometimes weighs us down, festivities provide
light relief. In the 1 60s, in recognition of this “lightness” the
inhabitants of “Marcy-l’Étoile“ chose to design their community hall
with a curved concrete roof giving the impression of flight – or of the
arms of a ballerina But festivities also express tradition: when the
building had to be renovated and enlarged, the architect wanted,
first and foremost, to preserve the character of the structure and
emphasise its complex geometry by having the extensions in a
single, unique envelope. Limited to two materials, UARTZ-ZINC® for
the roof and the opaque facades and glass elsewhere, the new
envelope of the building stands out from the surrounding traditional
houses “like a huge coat draped over tall posts with the light from
shows and festivities escaping from between its folds,” as the
architect says.

A designer’s signature
Incomparable design, sophisticated elegance, outstanding performance, when we
think of motorcycles from the other side of the Alps, we think first of their style.
Thus, in Italy, where style and Italians go hand in hand, we find designers as
talented as motor engineers who offer motorcycle fans clothing equipment the
design of which is as sophisticated as their machines. The leading brand in this
niche – they dress the champions – Dainese recently enhanced one of their
warehouses, in Vicenza, with an extension as sophisticated as its image.
The completely automated warehouse is a huge rectangular block with four closed
sides. It is attached to a showroom which is open to the light through a square
glass facade and three bays, elegantly arranged on its curved flank. Access to the
original building is through a linking tunnel.
Highlighting contrasts through functions, forms and openings, the three parts of
the work nevertheless display the same ANTHRA-ZINC® finish. Sylvia Dainese, the
architect, tells us, “The velvety appearance of ANTHRA-ZINC® recalls the
‘black skin’ used in the manufacture of Dainese garments and adds a touch of
distinction to the tedium of its industrial environment”.

Neo-rustic
In the Barolo vineyard in Piedmont, the wine cellar of the Adelaide
farm celebrates the age-old tradition of tending the earth. The building,
beneath a small grassy knoll which reflects the surrounding hills, is
designed in the form of an ancient Egyptian tomb, symbolically re-imprinting
the earth with the work of masking, pressing and wine-making before being
used to store the bottles – for, as the architect Paolo Dellapiana says,
“Everything comes from the earth: the soil nourishes the vine and the wine
comes from the land”. The top section of the wine storehouse is opened
up at the front by a wide, curved glass wall shaded by a UARTZ-ZINC® hood.
On the sides and at the back, other surfaces linking the paved ground and the
grassy roof are also covered by folded panels of the same material, chosen
because it could be shaped by hand and because its solid, durable appearance
blends naturally with the surrounding traditional houses.

Optical illusion
In Chatanooga at the southernmost point of the Great Smokey Mountains in
Tennessee, tourists who love unusual natural sights can discover a labyrinth
with sides so narrow and deep that the sun cannot penetrate the gloom.
Conversely, from its position on a rock spur towering above the river from a
height of almost 100 feet, the Hunter Museum of American Art, exposes the
lines of its recent 0,000 sq. ft extension, which itself seems to be a natural
accident, for all to see. As one approaches from the access road, this chaotic
assembly of massive blocks gradually organises itself to reveal a building
which extends towards the original museum, a country house built in 1 05,
and balances the first extension built on the north-east side in 1 0. Thus
visitors discover the first work of the museum before they even enter it. The
new project is of an entirely modern design combining glass, steel and
marbled mineral-like cladding, the latter only in appearance, for all the panels
used to clad the building are made of UARTZ-ZINC® PLUS panels (flat lock
panels) specially pre-oxidised to achieve this aspect. An unusual and
particularly successful variation on the use of VM ZINC catalogue products.

Local heritage
In the past, Ghent was crowded round its belfry and bells but today it has
cast aside its old boundaries to join the modern world. Around the port,
factories have closed, houses have been built and ships berth further to the
east and there are no longer dockers on the wharves. In what has become
the “old port” only the warehouse has remained, symbolizing local
heritage. A restoration project has brought it back to life for, beneath the
remnants of building materials and the corrugated iron, a superb metal-frame
structure was discovered, witness to a time when this technique crowned
prestigious achievements inspired by Gustave Eiffel or Armand Moisant.
Promised a new future – it will soon house a shopping centre – the
structure has been faithfully restored according to the oldest documents
collected from the archives by the project manager. The warehouse has
thus re-appropriated its covering in small zinc sections ( UARTZ-ZINC®,
ADE A system) and its original elegant waterside design.
