Case Study: Exploring a Historic Native Vernacular
October 8, 2020 from 10:30am to 11:30am Central Standard Time
Courtois Auditorium
Designed to meet a longstanding commitment by a Community College built on Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Community land, the design of the Scottsdale Community College Business School and Indigenous Cultural Center utilized saguaro ribs imbedded into tilt panels to create not only a defining feature for this project, but also create pride and equity. A teaming effort between Architekton, Suntec, and Okland, this project focuses greatly on the possibilities both physically and economically of using tilt-panels in higher education projects as well as serving as a case study using tilt as the mediator to help define a new Southwest Native vernacular.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Process and insight on how contractor, subcontractor and architect can all become a part of the design and user integration process and the necessity for this when doing tilt on higher education projects.
- Embedment and finishing techniques on integrally colored concrete panels.
- Cost comparisons of typical wall assemblies in the southwest to tilt-up and the opportunities in design specifically in the southwest that can come from its utilization and appropriation.
- Opportunities for design beyond the typical tilt-up approach.
