72 CENTER ARCHITECT THE AIA MAGAZINE JULY <strong>2014</strong> WWW.ARCHITECTMAGAZINE.COM irregularly on its foundation, as it has since its completion in 1929. The most challenging aspect of building the auditorium, which took 18 months, was the need to accommodate the grid-based framework within walls that were not parallel. All steel framing had to be carefully assembled on-site to ensure that the support structure would not appear off-grid. So the team mounted the framework diagonally to create the illusion that both sides of the room run parallel—“an illusion that everything aligns,” says SCDA designer Darren Yio. Local contractor Lai Yew Seng used offthe-shelf, 100-millimeter-by-100-millimeter and 200-millimeter-by-100-millimeter steel 0 5 10 square hollow sections (SHS), wide-flanged beams, 50-millimeter-by-50-millimeter angles and powdercoated, expanded aluminum mesh screens with 40-millimeter-wide-by- 10-millimeter-tall hexagonal openings. The screens were custom cut on-site into the trianglular pattern to fit the existing conditions of the historical building, and are between approximately 24 and 95 inches tall, and up to 24 inches wide. LED strips affix to the standard steel channels within the framework. Though the designers specified the mesh to allow air to circulate from the mechanical infrastructure at the ceiling, Chan says, the finish also boosts the auditorium’s acoustics. The aluminum mesh screens were sized and cut on-site to ensure its grid-based support framing looked in line with the existing space’s nonparallel sidewalls. COURTESY SCDA ARCHITECTS
