To solve this problem, the architects raised the central portion of the roof to create clerestories that can illuminate any classroom configuration. |
Daylight is the primary light source throughout the building, brought in through roof monitors, clerestories, light shelves and high performance glass. |
The main gable roof, with its clerestories and secondary skillions, is clad in a specially rolled profile. |
A great deal of time is spent studying the sun's seasonal angles, capturing or controlling it with clerestories and tilted roof planes. |
The building is modest in scale and fits well into its surroundings, though its towering clerestories offer a reminder that this is a workplace and not a suburban villa. |
Reflected daylight enters through clerestories, bounces up into the shimmering vaults and is then diffused down onto the exhibits. |
