![INTRODUCTION Hopkins was one of the leading figures in the
introduction of high-tech architecture into Britain.
One of their first buildings was their own house in
Hampstead, a lightweight steel structure with glass
façades.[4] Early Hopkins buildings, such as the Greene
King brewery in Bury St Edmunds and the Schlumberger
laboratories near Cambridge, used new materials and
construction techniques.
Michael Hopkins was elected to the Royal Academy in
1992 and appointed a CBE and knighted for services to
architecture.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/hoa-200921073815/85/high-tech-building-24-320.jpg)

- 1. HISTORY OF ACHITECTURE HIGHTECH ARCHITECTURE MOVEMENT
- 2. HIGH TECH BUILDING High Tech is a style that accentuates a building's construction. High Tech was a development in British Modernist architecture from the late 1960s. It was a concept of design, based on engineering, construction and other aspects, such as the manipulation of space.
- 3. FEATURES OF HIGHTECHBUILDING They included the prominent display of the building's technical and functional components, and an orderly arrangement and use of pre-fabricated elements. Glass walls and steel frames were also immensely popular. The high-tech buildings make persistent use of glass curtain walls and steel structure. FLEXIBLE INTERIORS Open plan with the ability to partition as necessary. EXPRESSED CONSTRUCTION Structures such as beams and cables visibly displayed. COLOURED PIPEWORK AND SERVICES Color used to delineate structural parts and areas. LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION Use of steel and glass some with reflective surfaces.

- 7. ST . MARYAXE , LONDON ‘THE GHERKIN’
- 8. INTRODUCTION 30 stMary axe , better known as the gherkin because is floor plan resembled sliced pickle. Flexible and environmentally sound office space in London . London’s first ecological green tall building. It is the second highest building in the city of London. The site of the 30 st Mary axe building lies at the heart of the city’s insurance district.
- 9. introduction Each flooris circular and comprises an outer ring with equally spaced radial beams. The building provides 500000sq ft of office space . Building type : commercial highrise building. Floors : 40 floors Height : 179.8meters. Estimated actual area ; 500000sq ft Project value : 200million dollars
- 10. PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION Swissre started developing proposals for the site in 1998. The construction work started in January 2001. Completion date : September 2003. The building officially opened in march 2004. 30st Mary axe is situated on a site of 1.4 acres.
- 11. MATERIALS USED FORTHE CONSTRUCTION 35km of steel ,10thousand tons were used to build the swiss re 24,000sq meters of glass were used for the exterior of the building , equivalent to five football fields . The building was designed to the use recycled or recyclable materials whenever possible . The tower’s exterior cladding consists of roughly 5500 flat triangular ,diamond shaped glass panels .
- 12. ISSUE On 25th April2005 the process reported that a glass panel 590ft tower had fallen to the plaza beneath on 18 April . The plaza was sealed off , but the building remained open. Engineers examined the other 744 glass panels on the building .
- 13. UNIQUE FORM Theworld’s 18th strangest building The cigar shaped profile responds to the specific demands of the small site. It appears less bulky than a conventional rectangular block . The slim base reduces reflections and increase daylight penetration. The rounded shape also prevents wind from being deflected and maintains a comfortable space in the public plaza.
- 14. UNIQUE FORM Constructedon a diagrid structure Made of 5500 glass panels Only one piece of curved glass is the lens Radial floor design with each floor is rotated 5degree Smaller footprint allows for a public plaza Aerodynamic shape creates less downdraft Building shape allows for natural light
- 15. SUSTAINABILITY AND VENTILATION Differingair pressures and double skin façade allow for the natural ventilation Six spiraling light wells allow daylight top flood onto the floors Windows open when external temperature is between 20degree c and 26degree c and wind speed is less than 10mph Windows and blinds are computer controlled Solar blinds to reclaim or reject heat
- 16. ENERGY USE Temperaturecan be controlled in several separate zones on each floor. Building can potentially turn off mechanical temperature system 40% of the year . Main energy source is gas. Building was supported to consume 50%less energy. The building uses open windows and natural ventilation to reduce energy costs.
- 17. BUILDING FEATURES Thetower is aerodynamically designed to reduce wind load on the structure ,whilst the lower part tapes so that wind wraps around the tower. The six fingers of accommodation on each floor, configured with light wells in between ,maximize daylight penetration . The façade design with advance glazing technologies ,ventilated cavities and blinds , provides up to 85% solar protection. Gas is the main fuel used hence it will only generate half the carbon emission. Overall energy serving is up to 50%.
- 18. CIRCULATION Each ofthe two main stairwells contains,1,307 stairs . The 23 lifts vary in velocity from 1m/sec to 6 m/sec.
- 19. LIFTS There are18 passenger lifts in the building. 378 people can be vertically transported through the building at speed upto6m/sec at any time .
- 20. LEVELS There are3 different levels : Low rise go from lobby to level 12 Medium rise lifts go from lobby to 22 stopping from level 11. High rise lifts go from lobby to 34 stopping from level 22 . Shuttle lift goes from level 34 to level 39.
- 21. INCLUDES the building consistof Scheduled of different floors Longue bars and restaurant Private dinning Plaza Software's used for the building AutoCAD and I render
- 22. CONCLUSION Technology isalways evolving to meet the changing needs of users and in this was used for efficiently. Planning was detailed ,organized ,and involved team participation with specialists assigned for each activity.

- 25. Hampstead house The HopkinsHouse at 49a Downshire Hill is the common name given to the high- tech home and workspace in Hampstead, London, designed by architects Michael and Patty Hopkins. It has been described as a "genuine icon of the High Tech movement". Wikipedia Address: 49A Downshire Hill, Hampstead, London NW3 1NX, United Kingdom Opened: 1976 Architecture firm: Hopkins Architects Architectural style: High-tech architecture Architect: Michael Hopkins Size240 m²
- 26. It wasa simple two-storey glass and steel box, with few permanent interior partitions, only occasional plastic panels for privacy of the bathrooms and sleeping areas. The steel frame structure is left clearly visible. Its footprint was defined by building restriction lines, leaving a 10 m x 12 m rectangle on two levels. From the front, however, the house appears to be single-storey, because the site is 2.5 m below the road. The main entrance is at first-floor level across a footbridge, spanning a slope down to the garden level.
- 27. Construction techniques,being developed for larger commercial buildings, were used. A small-scale structural steel grid of 2 m x 4 m was chosen, which meant the components could be small and light. Perimeter columns at 2 m centres support the cladding and glazing, without sub-frames. Metal decking for both the floor and roof is supported on a two-way grid of lattice trusses on freestanding columns. Side walls are of an insulated metal decking sandwich and front and back walls have full-height sliding glass doors, with no vertical frames. The internal planning is open and flexible. Venetian blinds hanging between the internal columns define the various living functions, while prefabricated melamine partitions enclose the bedrooms and shower rooms. The two levels are connected by an open spiral staircase. The basic strategy and cost restraints have produced a building of simplicity
