South Pole Antarctica Station: The Hawai‘i Connection |
HSW |
| Topic |
Case Study: South Pole Antarctica Station |
| Time & Location |
8:00 AM | Room 318B |
| Speakers |
Joe Ferraro, FAIA, LEED AP
Principal, Ferraro Choi and Associates
|
| Description |
The US has had a continuous manned presence at the geographic South Pole since the early 1950's in admittedly the most hostile environment on the face of the planet. Ambient temperatures reach minus 1100F and access to the station is only available during a three month austral summer window. Snow accumulation never melts and the 9,800 foot- thick ice surface moves constantly at 11 meters a year. Designing a new station to be constructed without interrupting scientific operations was a challenging project for the Owner and the design team. Learn how unique processes were employed by the team.

Jonathan Ching and Philip Zoch will present their semester's work from the School of Architecture's newly established Community Design and Sustainable Research Program. They will share their experience in 2009 as student "citizen architects" as they engaged members of the Waimanalo community in developing a vision that materialized into a Waimanalo Town Master plan. This plan then focused on two visionary "keystone projects" that each student developed, and the Plan was presented to stake holders as the foundation for future steps they might take.

| SESSION E3 |
Hawaiian Hall: Converting a Haunted House to a World Class Museum |
HSW |
| Topic |
Museum Case Study |
| Time & Location |
2:15 PM | Room 318B |
| Speakers |
Glenn Mason, AIA
President, Mason Architects
|
| Description |
Discover the challenges, solutions, and compromises that were required to upgrade Bishop Museum's Hawaiian Hall and Picture Gallery to meet modern museum standards while preserving the building as an artifact at the same time. Charles W. Dickey-designed Hawaiian Hall to be completely naturally ventilated and lit. More than 100 years later light levels, temperature, humidity, fire protection, security, data, exhibits, and the susceptibility of the building and its contents to insect attack were far below museum standards. In addition, the entire Hawaiian Hall Complex was not accessible above the first floor. Saving and restoring the building's materials and finishes left little opportunity to run new infrastructure necessitating innovative solutions.
