PALLADIO AWARDS 2009
by ArchitectureWeek

http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2009/0311/news_1-1.html
The Danforth University Center provides a new
gothic-style gathering space and "front door" for
Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Designed
by Tsoi/ Kobus & Associates, Inc., the center
received one of eleven Palladio Awards for 2009.
In scale, orientation, materials, and detailing, the
Danforth Center continues the Jacobean collegiate gothic
style of the original campus buildings by Cope and
Stewardson, dating to the early 1900s. The new structure
is also designed for LEED Gold certification.
Three primary building masses interlock with two
north-south connector volumes, forming courtyards that
align with existing campus forms. Organized with a
variety of user groups in mind, the building's main
entrances direct undergraduates to the dining areas,
provide visitors easy access to an orientation room, and
conduct faculty and students to the center's large
public gathering space.
A gothic facade of Missouri Red granite ashlar and
Indiana limestone dress stone is supported by an
interior concrete wall and structural frame.
In Andrea's Name
The annual Palladio Awards program honors outstanding
achievement in traditional design, as exemplified by
Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, who created
contemporary architecture for his time while using
models from the past for inspiration and guidance.

** ArchitectureWeek is a green and low-carbon-footprint
publication. By publishing this professional design and building
magazine online-only, we save about 48 tons of paper monthly,
50 large trees every week, or 2500 trees (a dozen or more acres
of mature conifer forest) each year, compared to reaching a
similar readership on paper - not counting these newsletters!
We provide ongoing pro-bono services to local non-profit
sustainability organizations. And our company offices are
powered by a green mix of 98% wind energy and 2% solar power
through our local electric utilities.
