Aluminium: Sympathetic and Powerful focuses on the role of aluminium in the built environment and how as a material, which offers durability yet can be almost infinitely recycled, it can be considered as being sympathetic to human ecology and powerful in its many applications. This is delivered via one-to-one interviews with leading practitioners including Jim Eyre, Billie Faircloth, Jo Bacon, Tim Lucas and Alex de la Chevrotière, the latter two of whom are both structural engineers. A chapter is devoted to KieranTimberlake’s engagement with research and the fundamental components of an architectural practice. Aluminium: Sympathetic and Powerful is the fifth book in the Towards Sustainable Cities series. It qualifies the in-use carbon benefits arising from the specification of aluminium in architecture and the built environment. The book explores whether the use of aluminium and its alloys can be considered sympathetic and powerful, via key contemporary case studies and historic examples. The importance of research in contemporary is also explored in discussion with key collaborators including KieranTimberlake. The book advocates maximising the potential of aluminium achieved through an active and collaborative dialogue, enabling specifiers to make informed and approach choices when designing architecture and engineering. The major case studies include: The Hive designed by artist Wolfgang Buttress, Milan 2015, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London 2016. The National Museum of African American History & Culture, on the Mall Washington DC, completed in Fall of 2016, the design of which was led by architect David Adjaye. In 2020 he received the RIBA Gold Medal. The Weston Library original design by Giles Gilbert Scott, as the New Bodleian Library, on completion in 1940 this book repository was used by British Naval Intelligence. This library features the second oldest extant anodised aluminium windows in the world. The first use, also designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, are still enclosing Cambridge University ...
