Challenge/Project Objective



•   Create a viable educational
    laboratory, with a theater and
    concert hall, which establish the
    Idyllwild Arts Academy as the
    nation’s preeminent arts
    preparatory school; and

•   Provide a creative environment in
    which the next generation of
    musical and dramatic practitioners
    can hone their craft, while also
    providing for a range of artistic
    experiences for diverse audiences
    within both the school and
    community at large.
Concept: A Sustainable Approach to Design



                                      "Sustainability is an economic state
                                      where the demands placed upon the
                                      environment       by   people   and
                                      commerce can be met without
                                      reducing the capacity of the
                                      environment to provide for future
                                      generations.”

                                      •Try not to harm life or the
                                      environment
                                      •Make amends if you do

A Green or “Sustainable” Approach to Design


Team Philosophy: Functionality
• Devise an architectural program
  serving students and faculty as
  well as community members.
• Use high quality materials to
  enhance indoor & out-door
  experiences.
• Create a repertoire of public
  spaces.
• Reinforce pedestrian circulation.
• Maximize efficiency.
“Sustainable Design”
Creating Community Through Design



Team Philosophy: Integrate
 Systems
• Utilize green or sustainable
  systems to meet program
  requirements.
•Balance project solutions into an
 integrated and seamless whole.
• Engineer solutions to specific
  site and climatic challenges.
• Enhance accessibility pursuant
  to   the      “Americans  with
  Disabilities Act”
• Control variables to ensure
  success: schedule, budget and
  quality.
Site Analysis and Environmental Assessment



•    Climate
•    Hazards – Wildfire

A Green or “Sustainable” Approach to Design Team Philosophy: Functionality • Devise an architectural program serving students and faculty as well as community members. • Use high quality materials to enhance indoor & out-door experiences. • Create a repertoire of public spaces. • Reinforce pedestrian circulation. • Maximize efficiency.
  • 9. “Sustainable Design” Creating Community Through Design Team Philosophy: Integrate Systems • Utilize green or sustainable systems to meet program requirements. •Balance project solutions into an integrated and seamless whole. • Engineer solutions to specific site and climatic challenges. • Enhance accessibility pursuant to the “Americans with Disabilities Act” • Control variables to ensure success: schedule, budget and quality.
  • 10. Site Analysis and Environmental Assessment • Climate • Hazards – Wildfire • Drainage/Vegetation • Topography (+ 7 feet) • Vernacular Architecture • Seismic Requirements • Circulation, Access and Egress
  • 11. Sustainable System Integration – Designed for Maximum Performance • Integrated Wall and Roof Panel Structural Systems • Mechanical Systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) • Glazing Systems (High performance glass, and thermally broken frames) • Acoustic Design Systems • Renewable/Local Resources & Technology (Budget Driven) • Cladding – Sustainable Harvest Wood • Energy Modeling – “Fluid Dynamics Analysis”

  • 22. Acoustical Design Parameters “The acoustic performance of an interior space is one of the most crucial and widely debated aspects of architectural design for the performing arts.” William Weathersby, AR 05.99 Concert Hall Specifications – Reverberation Time (RT60) at 500 Hz is approximately 2.0 seconds (Unoccupied) and 1.9 Seconds (Occupied) – Misc. Acoustic Parameters • EDT, Clarity (C80), D50 – Noise Criteria (NC from HVAC) over the entire auditorium is below NC-15
  • 25. Sustainable Materials and Systems (USGBC) • Low Emitting Materials • Structural Insulated Panels • High Performance Glazing • Structural Wood (Glue Laminated Beams) • High Efficiency Mechanical Systems • Drought Tolerant Landscape • Energy Efficient Lighting • Water Efficient • Solar Energy
