LOADINGSTART
Mediatheque Centre, SendaiArchitects: Toyo Ito & Associates, Tokyo
It conceive a piece of townscape, with its
transparent main façade, its free layout and
the clear stratification of the various floor
levels lend the building a quality of
permeability and openess.
The media centre houses a number of civic
amenities, including library, two galleries, an
information centre for the disabled, and a
multimedia library with an ancillary cinema,
as well as seminar rooms and a café.
Façade The glazed double skin extends up over the edges of the structural
floor slabs. The outer skin consist of clear or translucent glazing and opaque
aluminium panels. Some area such as staircase is laid out in a series of straight
flights and screened by a layer of vertical metal strips. The open, grid-like
coverings over the service structures on the roof are conceived as a fifth façade.
University in SaitamaArchitects: Riken Yamamoto & Field Shop,
Yokohama
Situated outside on the outskirts of Tokyo, surrounded by housing
development and paddy field. It consist of seminar spaces beneath a
landscape deck, and the platform, in which the series of courtyard are
created, is flanked by two building tracts laid out parallel to each other.
Access to these tracts, which contains seminar rooms and laboratories,
is via four –storey galleries that open to the landscape platform through
finely articulated glazed façade. The rear-trussed construction of the
transparent skin consist of horizontal flat-steel members with vertical
tensioning rods. The façade of the building are attached with horizontal
aluminium sun shading louvers.

Low and high buildings
Typical effects of wind pressures
around buildings Wind load is part of the
consideration in the building construction where it
will be more important for the higher building.
Furniture Store in TokyoArchitects : Kazuyo Sejima & Associates, Tokyo
The building consist of storey high glazing elements – transparent on the ground floor and translucent in the upper
levels. The walls, columns and exposed ribbed metal soffits of the floor slab are painted white, with the dark
parquet flooring striking a contrasting note. The strict axial grid of the load bearing structure allowed the dimensions
of the ground columns to be kept to the minimum. The building has a steel structure, the floors of which are
suspended from bracket fixed to the façade columns. As a result of this, the floors are not immediately visible from
the street. Their lines are merely indicated by the narrow fixing strips to the storey height façade glazing.
3D floor sectional floor construction Sectional I
beam supporting concrete floor slab while timber floor joist
resting on T section steel. The beam attached to the circular
hollow steel column through splice joints.
3D floor sectional floor construction Another
views of the construction method. Steel structures tend to
shrink and expand in respond to the changes of temperature.
Thus, there should be a little gap between end of the steel
joints.
3D Railing construction details Installed at
the edge of the concrete slab, which main part of the
railing, made of steel, is bolted to the concrete slab through
steel plate. Glass panels of the railing are clamped to the
steel structure.
Exploded 3D railing construction Image shows
components that will be assembled for railing with glass
panel construction. Concrete slab, steel plates, glass panels,
steel handrail, etc. The last image shows the complete
construction of railing. Railing is an element needed for
balcony.
