principles -
- Functional necessity
- Social necessity
 As mentioned services, ducts ,stairs and structure
itself moved outside the building which created a huge
wide interiors.

8. LLOYDS BUILDING,
LONDON
 The Lloyd's Building( referred to as the inside – out
building) is the home of the insurance Institution
Lloyd's of London, and is located at 1, Lime street, in
the City of London.
 The building was designed by Architect Richard
Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986.
 It is a leading example of radical Bowellism
architecture in which the services for the building, such
as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to
maximize space in the interior.

9. LLOYDS BUILDING, LONDON
 The functional structural elements of the building were color-coded:
- green pipes are for plumbing,
- blue ducts are for climate control,
- electrical wires are encased in yellow, and
- circulation elements and devices for safety are red.
 The building uses a large amount of modular glass frames which reflects and refracts
light.
 The building is mainly built with concrete and steel.
 Overall, the essence of Lloyds of London is that the inside can retain traditional and
the outside appearance can change with time.

10. SITE PLAN
The Lloyds Building is
located on Leadenhall Street
in the heart of the financial
district of the city of London.
 The site is awkwardly
shaped due to the medieval
character of London's
streets, the streets
surrounding in the Lloyds
Building are tight and
winding, providing a sharp
contrast between solid and
void, between building and
street.

12. DESIGN
 The building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power
conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside.
 The building consists of three main towers and three service towers around a
central central, rectangular space. Its core is the large Underwriting Room on the ground
floor, which houses the famous Lutine Bell.
 The Underwriting Room (often simply known as "the Room") is overlooked by galleries,
forming a 60 meters (197 ft) high atrium lit naturally through a huge barrel-vaulted glass
roof. The first four galleries open onto the atrium space, and are connected by escalators
through the middle of the structure. The higher floors are glassed in, and can only be
reached via the outside lifts.
 The 11th floor houses the Committee Room, an 18th century dining room designed for the
2nd Earl of Shelburne by Robert Adam in 1763; it was transferred piece by piece from the
previous (1958) Lloyd's building across the road.
 The Lloyd's building is 88 metres (289 ft) to the roof, with 14 floors. On top of each service
core stand the cleaning cranes, increasing the overall height to 95.10 metres (312 ft).
Modular in plan, each floor can be altered by addition or removal of partitions and walls.

TOWER
ELEVATION
The towers from a flexible
framework for the
ventilation plant, lifts, services
risers and lavotories attached to
them.
Four towers carry major plant –
rooms, with mains services
running vertically down the towers
and connected into ech level of the
building.
The largest services duct
contained the air – conditioning
with lesser duct for water, drains,
power and electronics.

22. COLUMNS, BEAMS
AND FLOORS
 The floors were constructed on
reinforced concrete columns on
a 10.8x18metre grid.
 The load is transferred between
the columns and the floor beams
by means of a pre-casted
bracket. Pre-cast ‘yokes’ cast
into inverted U-beam transmit
the loads of the floor grid to the
perimeter columns via the
brackets.
 The great columns, both the
exterior of the building and
within the atrium, stand proud of
the cladding, increasing the
highly articulated ‘Gothic’ effects
of Llyods.

26. MILLENIUM DOME,
LONDON
 Millennium Dome is a large building (Exhibition centre) with a
single roof located on the banks of the River Thames, on a former
industrial land on the Greenwich Peninsula, southeast
of London, England.
 The built of the Millennium Dome was intended to mark the
beginning of the new millennium (the 3rd), designed to be a
celebratory, iconic, non-hierarchical structure offering vast, flexible
flexible space.

27. CONCEPT
 The concept behind the dome involved the idea of times, 12
hours, the 12 months and the 12 constellations of the sky
which measure time.
 These 12 great arms are 100 meter steel masts held in place
by more than 70 kilometers of high-strength steel cable which
also supports the Teflon-coated glass-fiber roof, which makes
it the essential structures that suspend the Dome.
 The inspiration for the design was a big sky, a cosmos in
events take place, the radial lines and circles high and tensile
structure recalls the celestial grid astronomical maps through
ages.

32. STRUCTURE
 The entire roof structure weighs less than the air
contained within the building.
 The spectacular roof, only interrupted by a hole
through which a ventilation shaft out , raised on a
circular base of 365m in diameter, with undulating
edge 1km and a maximum height of 50m,
providing a covered area 100.000m2. Building.
 The cover is suspended and supported by high-
strength cables ranging from the outer end of the
steel masts 12, which pass through the Teflon
fabric, until the fabric of fiberglass

34. MATERIAL
USED
 PTEE(polytetrafluroethylene
) coated glass fibre fabric : It
is used for cladding the dome.
 Reinforced concrete : It has
been used as
anchorage point to support the
whole structure.
 Rubber : The aim of
using rubber for this building is
to achieve a maximum of
weight saving in individual
components and parts.
 Steel : Steel is used mainly for
its roof construction.

36. HOTEL HESPERIA
TOWER, BARCELONA
SPAIN
 Hesperia tower is a Hotel and Convention Centre
located on the edge of Barcelona, near Gran Via road.
 The hotel is located in the center of conferences
facilities of the city, close to the airport in Barcelona
and also nearby the city center with its cultural
attractions.
 In total the rooms in the hotel are 280 in number which
are distributed in 30 floors.
 Land area of the hotel is 14000 square metre with the
roof height 105m.

37. SITE PLAN

38. DESIGN
 The project is composed of a central body, as the hotel and
two cores and communications services vertical in the north
and south side of the building.
 The North Face exclusively for hotel services and face South
to the use of guests, which is equipped with panoramic lifts.
The first plan have the reception, the hotel’s restaurant, and
the offices of Hesperia. A 5,900 m2 sports center is also
located in the hotel.
 Between the foundation and a 4,500 m2 convention center is
built an atrium of glass about 6 plants that serves as a link
between body vertical and horizontal. Just above it, is a
technical plant, where all services are installed and machines
that allow the operation of the hotel.
 Topped this block are the suites and another striking feature:
a luxury restaurant.

44. RESTAURANT "UFO"
 In hotel there is a luxury restaurant that is certainly the most
unique building on his way similar to a UFO and apparently
that is floating in the air just apollo on the rest of building.
 Such is the uniqueness of this element in the whole of the
building in the city that many refer to as the building of the
UFO.
 The panoramic restaurant weighs 40 tonnes, is 500 sq
meters and its round shape is 24 meters in diameter.
 Part of the hotel's rooftop is a panoramic restaurant which is
capped with a 'pod', expressed in the form of a geodesic
dome fashioned from glass and steel weighing in at 40
tonnes.
 The restaurant inside the dome, named Evo.

47. STRUCTURE
 The hall is treated by large pillars inclined
supported by huge piles that reach 60 meters
in depth, mainly due to the nature of
terrorism, mainly sediments of the river
Llobregat.
 From here comes a structure of reinforced
concrete screens that turn into the block of
rooms, finishing with an aluminum curtain
wall painted in orange that gives the building
a unique appearance.

48. INTERIORS

49. 3 WORLD TRADE
CENTER, NEWYORK
 Tower 3 at 175 Greenwich Street is located at the heart of the
revitalised World Trade Center site in New York.
 3 World Trade Center is bound by Greenwich Street to the
West, Church Street to the East, Dey Street to the North and
Cortlandt Street to the South, and positioned opposite the
WTC Memorial and Cultural Center, at the heart of the cluster
of buildings which surround the memorial site.
 The skycrapper is a commercial office tower, it spans
80 storeys.
 The site area of 3 world trade center
is 5574 square metre and its height is 330m.

50. DESIGN
 The design includes five trading floors, 53 office floors (totalling 2.5
million sq ft (232,255 m²)) of above ground area, five retail levels, and
eight mechanical floors which serve trading and office floors, 44
passenger lifts and two principal stairwells.
 The strategic position of Tower 3 places the tower on the central axis
between the two water pools in the Memorial Park. This strong axial
relationship combined with its main address in an East-West
orientation became a strong driving force for the massing of the
building.
 The main lobby is located along the full length of the Greenwich Street
elevation and encloses the lobby along three sides by a 60ft high
cable-net glazed façade.
 At the western end of the core eight lifts are housed and dedicated to
serve the trading floors in the podium levels.
 At the South West corner of the lobby, a triple height atrium gives
public access to the retail areas above and below ground as well as to
the PATH Transit hall via the retail concourse in the basement level.

60. MATERIALS
 The façade consists of a linen-finish stainless steel and glass
curtain wall, with annealed glass panels complete with a
laminated interlayer and coating to reflect surrounding
scenery.
 On the west-facing elevation, this façade experiences the
afternoon setting sun where there is a fantastic interplay of
light and shadow off the stainless-steel cladding, as well as
reflecting the orange glow of the sun. Therefore, the
building’s mood changes in appearance with a change in
façade coloration throughout the day.

61. CONCLUSION
 He initiates different interesting concepts
which reflects his individual identity in
the world of architecture.
 One of the key concept of his building is
'inside out system'.
 The structures and services are provided
outside of the building for the internal
flexibility.
 AR. Richard Rogers does not think much
about the context of the building which
might be wrong as per architects, but he
has those magnificent concepts which
makes forget the context and the
surroundings.
