contrasting with the tower

The new UTS Podium building’s material distinctness from the Tower softens the university edge. The Podium Extension is light, transparent and open in direct contrast to the Tower’s enclosed teaching and administrative levels.
The Tower expresses strength and directness in architecture and is a monument to the architectural philosophy of it’s time. By contrast, the Podium Extension is designed to be almost immaterial, a veil to the tower, soft, undulating and light. A feminine foil to the 70’s Tower above. The new Podium Building willbe a leading example of contemporary architecture promoting innovation at UTS through the university’s own built environment.

sublimating the columns
traditional column... ...inlarged... ...to bring the light in... ...cut out following structural stresses...

...allow natural ventilation... ...and visual connections... ...or creating a courtyard.

Multi-functional columns vertically penetrate the Podium floorplates. These columns provide structure, circulation, natural ventilation, daylight, and visual connection across the Podium levels.
Enlarged and slightly inclinded, these elements become objects rather than just structure, allowing the floorplate to be free of the clutter of a grid of columns. They provide large expanses of open space to support maximum flexibility of use.

Formed from two sheets of perforated 20mm steel plate, the columns give a sense of ‘lightness’ to the struc-ture. The perforations in these columns were derived from an analysis of the struc-tural forces on an inclined tube whose aperture varied over a number of lev-els. The result is a structure that resembles some-thing delicate and porous like lace.
The cavity of the steel plates can be filled with water to provide fire protection to the structure, as in the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and can be connected to the sprinkler system.

fabrication of the columns

...cut out... ...the cavity is filled with water... ...to achieve fire rating!

transfering the load onto the existing structure

The Podium Building achieves a sense of lightness through the gently curved glass façade. The curves are achieved by the gradual angling of straight pieces of glass, some of which are warped slightly in place, as has been done on the glass canopy at Au-rora Place. The supporting façade structure is kept to a minimum, letting the façade be as transparent as possible.

A frit of translucent and white pixels is applied to the glazing adding a subtle pattern of a forest across the surface of the glass. This pattern on the façade throws a faint dappled light across the interior space. At night the façade is projected from behind with the frit capturing the image turning a part of the facade into a screen. The intensity of the image is concentrated around the entry where the frit is denser and fades out gradually across the rest of the façade.
