The document summarizes Paul Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building in New Haven, Connecticut, designed in 1963. It was recently renovated to restore it to Rudolph's original brutalism style. The building uses cast-in-place concrete and has 37 levels across nine floors. It integrates programmatic, structural, and mechanical needs through its design. The renovation restored original elements like the linear lighting system and Rudolph's orange and grey color scheme.

15. SECTION

16. • The renovation restored the original
linear lighting system which
beautifully juxtaposed into the
vertical concrete texture.
DESIGN APPROACH
• Like every brutalist buildings, this one
retains all the joints and holes caused
by the casting of concrete in place.
Rudolph used this as an opportunity to
create texture.

17. • Natural light bounces on the carpet
and illuminates the entire space as
warm interiors imprinting the warmth
on the lifeless concrete.
DESIGN APPROACH
• Rudolph’s orange and grey colour
scheme was honoured with the
refitting of a vibrant orange carpet that
runs throughout, and new furnishings.

18. • The building, clad in limestone and
zinc panels, clings to the north-
eastern facade of Rudolph's
building, encapsulating one of the
concrete facades.
DESIGN APPROACH
• The Yale Art and Architecture building
features elements– terraced levels, an
open plan core and plays on light and
shadow – although externally it
features the raw concrete of Brutalist
architecture.

COLLEGE
• LOCATION- WELLESLEY, USA
• DESIGNED BY- PAUL RUDOLPH
• YEAR OF COMPLETION- 1958
• PROJECT TYPE- INSTITUTIONAL
• ARCHITECTURE STYLE- BRUTALISM

21. INTRODUCTION
• Private, independent, 4 year liberal
arts college for women
• The Wellesley Arts Center represents
Rudolph’s tour de force of integration
with an existing style - in this case
pseudo-gothic.
• Careful study of proportion and
massing led him to create a design
combining the dimensional basis of
the original with a novel massing and
use of materials.
• The art department itself is linked to
a classroom and auditorium block by a
bridging exhibition gallery.
• The structure of the extension is in
reinforced concrete and the facing
materials are brick and limestone.
