NEW ENGLAND AIA AWARDS
by Brian Libby
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2009/1104/index.html
The rectangular volume of Kroon Hall by Michael Hopkins
wears one great roof, pitched up to a broadly curving
ridgeline. This new home for Yale University's School of
Forestry & Environmental Studies in New Haven,
Connecticut, achieves both a welcoming form and a high
level of sustainable design.
Designed by Hopkins Architects of London, with
Centerbrook Architects and Planners as executive
architect, Kroon Hall is expected to earn a Platinum
LEED certification.
Kroon Hall is one of the 21 projects recognized by the
New England chapter of the American Institute of
Architects (AIA) in its 2009 design awards. Other
honorees include single-family homes, science research
buildings, and even a humble storage facility.
Yale Green
The north side of the four-story Yale building is buried
into the sloping site, while the more-public west
elevation, facing Prospect Street, offers a dramatic
two-story presence. Constructed with stone, concrete,
steel, and glass, the structure contains faculty
offices, classrooms, a library and study center, an
auditorium, and a flexible space for hosting exhibitions
and symposia.
The building's energy use is expected to be less than
half that of a comparable conventional academic
building, and photovoltaic panels and solar hot water
collectors provide one-quarter of the building's energy.
To achieve full carbon neutrality for electricity usage
in Kroon, the university will purchase carbon offset
credits.

Precast Concrete Framing Systems
by D. Matthew Stuart
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2009/1104/building_1-1.html
Focusing on structural engineering issues involved in
the repair, restoration, or adaptive reuse of older
buildings for which drawings no longer exist, this

** 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,

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.
