Concrete Restoration of Yale University's Paul Rudolph Hall high-rise Category Concrete Restoration of Yale University’s Paul Rudolph Hall New Haven, Connecticut Submitted by Hoffmann Architects, Inc. he iconic Art + Architecture Building at Yale University, now rededicated as Paul T Rudolph Hall in honor of its legendary designer, was completed in 1963. Constructed of cast-in-place concrete, the 114,000 ft2 (10,590 m2) structure is terraced into some 37 levels on nine stories, two below grade. With its distinctive use of heavy concrete forms and rich textures, this landmark of modern architecture anchors a gateway corner of the Yale campus. Just 6 years after it was completed, however, the building was damaged in a fire, and subsequent repairs so marred the original design that Rudolph is reported to have teared up when he visited the building in the late 1970s.

What the mock-ups couldn’t reproduce was the extremely long width of the spandrels, as well as their height off the ground. Using a long, continuous pour technique, the project team set the concrete evenly across the span. By all rights, such a long expanse could well show cracking every few feet. Yet, the final product held up even beyond expectation. No visible cracking occurred, and the building profile was restored. “Corduroy” ConCrete repair Shallow reinforcement placement was also evident within the corrugated concrete portions of the façade. Where corrosion and spalling were problematic, the underlying steel bars needed to be exposed, repaired, and then recovered to an appropriate depth with color- and texture- matched concrete. Because the corduroy-like vertical ribs were not uniform in dimension, custom molds had to be created for each area of repair. Here again, developing and testing a concrete mixture that Spandrel rehabilitation in progress. Note narrow would replicate the original appearance, hold up depth and wide span of repair area well as a thin overlay, and resolve the problems of the existing construction were the compound challenges of the repair work. To further complicate the restoration effort, Rudolph originally achieved the distinctive rough surface texture by sending the construction crew to strike at the finished concrete. Replicating this effect involved bush hammering the smooth, finished surface of the repaired areas until they became virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding façade.

    140 studies in History & Theory of Architecture Re-viewing and Reimagining Paul Rudolph’s Brutalist Architecture in the USA and Southeast Asia Anna Dempsey, Ben Youtz and Kelly Haigh University of Massachusetts Dartmouth | designLAB architects [email protected] | [email protected], [email protected] KEYWORDS: modern architecture, Paul Rudolph, Brutalism, campus architecture, place-making, concrete Introduction Theodore Dalrymple famously described late modern expressionist (Brutalist) buildings as “totalitarian,” “cold hearted moral deformit[ies]” that should be demolished.1 Even during the 1950s and 1960s, arguably the style’s halcyon days, British critic Reyner Banham noted that critics of the “new Brutalism” regarded “the movement” as “a cult of ugliness.”2 Though Banham concluded that Brutalism represented “a contribution to the architecture of today,” he stated that the buildings of Alison and Peter Smithson - who coined the term “new Brutalism” - exhibited both “ineloquence” and “bloody-mindedness.”3 Despite Banham’s and other critics’ reservations, this post-War modernist movement was a global one. Architects such as Germany’s Werner Düttmann (the Agnes Kirche in Berlin, 1964), Australia’s Peter Hall (the Residential Colleges at the University of New South Wales, 1962-1966), Argentina’s Clorindo Testa (Banco de Londres in Buenos Aires, 1966) were among those who embraced what Banham referred to as the “ruthless logic” of Brutalism’s functional style.4 In the United States, Louis Kahn, I.M Pei and several other architects also designed and built Brutalist structures. Nevertheless, Paul Rudolph (a student of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius) is the American architect most closely associated with Dalrymple’s “cold-hearted” style.

    Claire T. Carney Library, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth North Dartmouth, MA Interview with William Grindereng: Longtime Architectural Associate of Architect Paul Rudolph. Interviewed by Bruce Barnes. Recorded in Boston Massachusetts June 28, 2006. Transcript of a video recorded interview with architect William Grindereng, in which he recounts the portion of his career (1955-1972) he was associated with architect Paul Rudolph. Among the many major projects discussed is the Government Service Center in Boston, the Bangladesh (Formerly East Pakistan) Agricultural University and SMTI / University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Also in attendance, Grattan Gill, also a former architectural associate of Rudolph as well as job captain or project manager for SMTI / UMass Dartmouth during the construction of the campus in the 1960s. Transcript Preparation and Additional Research by Joanne Garfield, Technical Services Department, Claire T. Carney Library, UMass Dartmouth Library Bruce Barnes: If you could, give me a brief biography of yourself, how you came to be an architect, and your connections to Paul Rudolph. William Grindereng: I first graduated from Ohio University with a degree in architectural engineering. Following that, I worked four years full-time for architects in South Dakota and Ohio. I decided that I needed to fill in some gaps in my education so I applied to Yale. I went there with advanced standing and graduated after two years with a Master of Architecture degree. While at Yale, I was fortunate to have had Paul Rudolph as a visiting critic. It was actually his first two visits to Yale. The first project that he gave us [1955] was a weekend sketch project was for a Tastee Freez stand which he had done in Sarasota.

Google Scholar. In developing and refining his design priorities to accommodate his large commissions, Rudolph was not pandering to any new fashionable trend or fickle change in style; he was still convinced by his early convictions, but it was the acceptance of these later adjustments in his design philosophy that classified him as a Late-Modernist.

In spite of his reservations about the limitations of two-dimensional drawings or that any form of presentation can ever convey the ultimate nature of a building, Rudolph still achieved a far greater standard of graphic communication through his presentation techniques than any other modern architect.

SIRMAN Abstract: During the 1960s and early 1970s, New England departed from architectural traditions and was in the vanguard of the most current (and controversial) style of these decades: Brutalism. While on its surface this style seems inimical to New England architecture, a confluence of economic, political, and social forces rendered it aptly suited to the region at this pivotal time. Concrete buildings served not only functional purposes but also as monuments that both reflected and shaped public perceptions of New England.

Processing the universal rather than the specific aspects of urbanism, these zoning codes have a limited capacity to adapt to local significance and site-specific characteristics, to which architecture is much more responsive, and thus often constrain design innovation. Although various attempts have been made to improve the interconnection between the universal and the specific, we need a wider array of analytic frameworks within the discipline of architecture for evaluating the broader implications of the codes that regulate the form and use of buildings within the context of contemporary city planning. Taking architecture as an intermediary instrument, this study develops the notion of code manipulation as an analytical framework to be used for stimulating and evaluating designs beyond the constraints of code.
