199 EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT ARCHITECTURAL LINEAR DRAINS FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE CONTINUING EDUCATION to mitigate water damage, provide a safe and accessible pathway for guests, extend the life of floors or balconies, and may help architects avoid costly, ongoing water issues. OVERVIEW OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS In the design and construction of buildings and sites, if there is water present (and there almost always is) then that water needs to be managed and controlled. It is common to think about how the water is being supplied (i.e., piped in through plumbing or irrigation systems) or where it may be coming from naturally (e.g., groundwater, precipitation, etc.). However, it is just as important to determine how it is being drained and carried away from the areas where it is present. Failure to properly drain means too much water is present and this can lead to a little, or a lot, of standing water. That water can cause structural or cosmetic damage to buildings, landscapes, or other areas. It is also a human safety issue in that wet surfaces are more slippery and can cause people walking on them to slip, fall, and become injured. Therefore, the design intent of a proper drainage system is to provide the long-term, ongoing remediation of excess water and the hazards that it may entail. Of course, drains are usually covered with a grille or grate that is visible on floors or outdoor surfaces. In some settings, a purely functional and utilitarian drain cover may be appropriate. However, in many building locations, there is a desire to have the drains and their covers blend with a higher level of design. That means the shape of the drain, the depth of the drain catchment, the material for the cover, and other factors all come into play. In order to be sure that the look of the space being drained is not compromised, the selection of appropriate architectural drains and their integration into an overall scheme is critical. That means that these items aren’t just for mechanical and plumbing engineers to consider. Rather, they require the review, input, and collaborative decision-making process of architects, landscape architects, and interior designers, too. Only in this way is the total design able to meet the aesthetic and performance needs of the project. In the following sections, we consider some of the different aspects of designing architectural drainage systems. Drainage Types Section Not all drainage solutions are the same. Some require very standard components and others are better served by specialty items. Generically, there are three types of drains discussed, as follows. • Center Drains These are probably what most people think of when considering the use of a floor drain. In this case, a floor area, whether for a room, a shower, or an outdoor surface, is gently sloped from each side to a low point in the center. The drain catchment, commonly square or round, is connected to a suitably sized drainpipe that carries the collected water away from the area to its appropriate next destination (i.e., sewer, storm drain, retention pond, etc.). The catchment mechanism is typically covered with a grate or grille of some type that allows water to enter but keeps out other things such as debris. The cover also provides the needed safety protection for people, such that their foot lands on a smooth, flat surface instead of dropping into the open area of the catchment. The shape of a center drain is commonly square or round and available in standard sizes to suit different common conditions. • Architectural Linear Drains A different, and often more elegant, approach for designing a floor drain, is to simply slope the surface all to one side. Then, along the length of the low end of the surface, a linear floor drain is installed in a recessed manner to drain away the water. In this case, the drain catchment area (also called a channel assembly) is long and rectangular, with either a vertical or horizontal drain outlet. That drain outlet can be connected in an appropriate manner to suitable drain piping that is located within the floor assembly or outdoor surface system. The drain channel assembly is covered with a long, rectangular grille or grate that functions the same way the center drain cover does – allowing water to enter while keeping out debris and providing a safe surface for people to walk on. • Custom Drain Solutions In some cases, neither center drains nor purely linear drains are the right architectural solution for a project condition. For those situations, it is good to be aware that custom drains are indeed possible. They can take the form of curved or circular drains around a similarly shaped surface where water needs to be captured and redirected. Or they can be rectilinear by marrying several linear drains together to suit the geometry of a space. There are many different options and configurations possible, but as with any custom solution, it is best to check with a manufacturer during project design to determine fabrication parameters and tolerances that are possible and factors that influence cost management.

200 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD JUNE 2022 CONTINUING EDUCATION Specifying the Right Surface Material F inished surfaces in building interiors can be treated in a variety of ways. In any given project, or across different projects, several different surface types may be warranted, based on differing design and performance needs in different rooms, spaces, or applications. Recognizing such a diverse need, this course looks at some common surface options including high pressure laminate (HPL), thermofused laminate (TFL), wood veneer, and vinyl surfacing. Some specific attributes of each are reviewed and compared to help the design professional discern which products are the most appropriate choice for different applications and projects. At Photo courtesy of Upper Left Photography Selecting between different laminated or veneer products depends primarily on the project conditions Sponsored by Wilsonart | By Peter J.

AIA COURSE #K2206P the same time, some of the limitations that some choices may pose in other applications are identified. The goal is to be able to select and specify the most appropriate interior surface materials for a wide range of project types. SURFACE MATERIAL SELECTION CRITERIA Building interiors of all types are usually designed to meet a variety of user program requirements and often need to address the needs of a lot of different people. The surface materials used in such interior spaces similarly need to meet multiple criteria in support of the overall project requirements. Such surfaces include walls, partitions, counters, Different interior surfaces have different requirements for appearance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Selecting and specifying the right surface materials to suit those different conditions helps achieve quality projects and happy clients. EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT
201 EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT SPECIFYING THE RIGHT SURFACE MATERIAL CONTINUING EDUCATION cabinetry, wall and ceiling accents, doors, and any other designer surface within a building interior. As the first, and most visible, material that is seen and experienced by building users, the criteria that become prioritized during design include the following: • Design Flexibility: Any selected interior building surface material is intended to be part of an overall design scheme. As such, choices need to be available that are consistent with that design scheme. A particular surface material may not even be considered if it is not available in a style, color, pattern, texture, or other attribute that is not consistent with the overall design. Hence, it becomes important to seek out materials that have the right options and choices to be able to find attributes that support the design. That could mean finding materials or products that have the right surface looks or appearance, or it could mean that that they come in the right size and shape to be readily worked into a design. Flexibility and variability are important in this case, but so is compatibility. Very often, a single interior space requires more than one material, so a complete palette of choices between different materials is selected. That can include different materials for different surfaces or different types of materials suitable for floors, furnishings, etc. In this case, the end result is one of compatible colors, patterns, and textures that work together to create a unified, holistic design. • Predictable Performance: Building owners and users may find that the surface materials in an interior design looks great on the first day of operation, but the question then becomes, How will it look over time? Different materials have different levels of durability, which make some better suited for certain situations than others. The most common differentiator is to determine if the material is being used on a horizontal surface or a vertical surface. Horizontal surfaces are usually subject to having things placed on them, such that act as a display shelf, bench, or ledge. That makes them subject to wear from repeated use and potential scratching or damage from sharp objects. Countertops need to withstand even more usage requirements since they may be subject to harsher and more demanding use. Vertical surfaces, on the other hand, are not routinely subjected to the same rigors of wear use, hence they can often be covered with a less durable material quite satisfactorily. The exception is in buildings where vertical walls or corners are subject to damage from the passage or transport of equipment, carts, luggage, etc. In those cases, selected areas may need to be reinforced and protected. Beyond the horizontal and vertical distinctions, the type of indoor environment becomes a performance consideration. If a space is subject to intense daylight, then protection against color fading becomes important. If intense cleaning is anticipated for hygiene or use requirements, then resistance to chemicals and cleaners is important. Any other special needs for a project will similarly play into the selection of a surface material so that it will indeed continue to look good and perform as intended for an extended period of time. • Sustainability: Virtually every part of the design and construction industry has been heavily immersed for the past 20 years or so in making buildings, and building products, more sustainable. That includes interior surface materials, which are scrutinized for their impacts both on the natural environment and on people. That scrutiny and assessment is applied throughout the entire life cycle of those materials, from sourcing their raw materials through manufacturing, transporting to distribution networks, installation in a building, and ultimately their removal and reuse or disposal. Horizontal and vertical surfaces can have different performance needs that can require consideration of a range of surface materials. Photo courtesy of Upper Left Photography Peter J.

203CONTINUING EDUCATION EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT B uilding components like glass, glazing, and even opaque assemblies can be subjected to forces from man-made events that require protection and security. At the same time, architects and interior designers don’t want a purely industrial or harsh appearance to be the dominant feature of that protection. Rather, the goal is to find a solution that respects the overall design of a building while still providing the ability to be protected and resilient. This is particularly true where blast protection is part of the building design criteria as is the case in many government buildings and The El Paso Federal Courthouse in Texas used coiled wire fabric to provide the required blast protection with an attractive, light shading solution for the building designed by Antoine Predock Architect.

216 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD JUNE 2022 PHOTOGRAPHY: © JIN WEIQI SNAPSHOT Created for the East Lake International Ecological Sculpture Biennale in 2021, Vanished House, by Beijing-based artist Hu Quanchun of Field Confirming Studios, sits on the cemetery grounds of Wuhan’s Shimenfeng Memorial Park. An intricate, ivy-patterned web of steel branches suggests a house in absentia, perhaps one lost to ruin or memory. Imagined by Hu as a remembrance of people and places past, the structure is intended as a space of reflection for visitors. He invoked the simplest concept of a house, akin to a child’s drawing. Constructing a one-to-10-scaled miniature in cardboard, designers sketched each ivy branch painstakingly by hand, in what Hu describes as time-consuming and tedious work. “In this way, the designers could control the density and size of the vines, as well as the turns and connections they present on the walls,” he says. “The process of sketching brought a distinctive feature of handicraft and painting to the work.” The drawings were then converted into vector files to be laser-engraved into weathering steel. Over time, the metal will rust, darkening into a crimson hue, and emulate the natural texture of the ivy branches from which Vanished House draws its inspiration. Pansy Schulman
Visit our AIA booth: 2308 “We chose zinc for the Rubenstein Forum project because it’s a natural material that will weather well over time and mature really well. It will also be resilient and actually last longer than the lifespan of the building. We really appreciate all the effort that everyone put into this to make this vision become a reality for the University of Chicago.” -Sean Gallagher, Diller Scofidio & Renfro
