Architects experiment with exposed steel
Design of factory building erected at Darlington, England by architects Eero Saarinen and Associates of Hamden, Conn is described; steel used is high strength type A441, low-alloy steel with yield point of 50,000 psi; building is 500 × 300-ft rectangle with perimeter columns set well outside glass line; all joints in exterior framing are welded while interior joints are bolted so that shell of building is continuous frame; roof beams cantilever slightly beyond perimeter columns, so building is surrounded by ruggedly angular colonnade; exterior wall consists of vertical mullions, which are also of exposed steel.
