A n Editorial

A former selectman once said "When it l)iirns at ni^hi, it's sfxctaeular. If pe()))le didnt know what it was, they wouhl install picture windows to watch

it". "It" is the Newport municipal dump, not very different from numy others in New Hampshire althougii it is visible from a major highway and its smoke settles dou ii over a nearby ^olf course and a branch of the ^u^ar River. lu)rfun-ately this and other attacks on the aesthetic values of a quiet countryside, to say not}ii}\fi of air }H)Uuti()n, have come to an end. Hie New Hampshire Air Pollution Control Commission has ruled that towns and cities which now op­erate a burnin<i dump must cease the activity by July 1, 1971.

This is the first in a series of pliotof^raphic editorials on environmental prob­lems facing this state. We are not implying that New Hampshire is overrun u ith urban blight or rural slums. But they are present in a state which prides itself on natural beauty, clean air and orderly villages. We just want to offer reminders of what still needs to be done.

"Continuing education in its broadest sense is the adult seqiu'uee of a l ifetime euri ieuluin. C o n t i n u i n g edueation in its narrowest sense is a Ibrin o f u n i \ ( M sit \ -sponsored residential adult edueation.

fo lk higli scliools were started in the United States in the early part of tliis eentury by immigrants in the M i d d l e West. Some elung to the "sehool for life" con­cept wi th its broad cultural aspects; others concentrated on such subjects as craft t raining and literacy. In Denmark, the rcsidcMitial aspect of adult education was mostly a matter of physical couN t niencc and ap­propriateness. Continuing education centers at modcii i American universities arc usually residential. The pro-\ ision of meals and sleepingcpiarters in close conjunct ion w i t h study rooms is a great convenience for adults who may come many miles for conferences. Also, the univer­sity residential ccntcu' captiali/es on the clear psycholog­ical ad\ antage of ha\ ing exc i yone in a facil i ty engaged in educational pursuits, rather than, as in a hotel or resort, having people engaged in business, recrea­t ion and social ac tiv ities mixed in wi th learning groups.

Kellogg Foundation, Battle Cree k, Mic l i i -gan, which was established in 1930, has alreacK gi\c'ii l i i i ids to help create centers for continuing education at seven universities in the United Slates and Enroiie, but the New England Center at the Univeisitv ol N e w ilainpslnre is the hrst to join several universities together in the serv ice of a major geographic- region.

The need to stimulate interaction, the need for a spirit of commnnitx, are two important pr inci ­ples which make the phrase "a communit)- of learning" as a|)plied to the ("enter seem surprisingly relevant. A l l .sources of information and research agree that, becanse of the nature and age of the participants, the CJenter should have an atmosphere of informality and comfort.

Again, the Center is lor adults, privacy is an important factor, and, as fiir as economics w i l l allow, single rooms should be avail­able for those w ho want them.

chairmen, speakers, (juestioners and resc^archers. This implies the need to provide conference rooms of various sizes wi th excellent acoustics and audio-\ isnal aids. It also influences the library and reading areas, which permit independent study and research in depth on the subject of each specific conference. There should be plenty of comfortable, informal meet­ing areas where groups of various sizes can continue discussions while eating or relaxing either in or out of doors.

C. Tlie Center should be considered as a "game-board" upon which conferences are "played." Experi­ments can be stinudating and rewarding and, as tlie staff of the Center gains experience, tliere w i l l be pos­sibilities for many interesting experimental conferences. From the architect's point of view this implies that all physical facilities must be flexible ancl capable of accommodating a variety of needs. The building must be eapal)le of expansion and sufficiently flexi­ble to acconimodate unforeseen requirements such as new types of conferences, new types of visitors and functions and relationships of spaces to one another. By providing flexible l iving, d in ing and conference facilities, it should be possible to accommodate visiting

D . A t least one architectural or design featme shoidd be developed to make tlie center nniciuc in the expericMice and memoi-v of visitors. Since the Center depends to a large extcmt for its functional and economic snccess on "repeat business," it is obviously important to impress visitors in sonic c\-cc^ptionally favorable way. The l)ni lding itself may be one of tlie most powerful factors in creating the desired impression. It could be the iiupact of the actual structure, the use of the natural setting, an unusually appropriate, creative design for the in­teriors or a combination of all three.

Tlie Architect's Response

l ic fbrc the existence of an actual program or con­cept for the buildings, W i l l i a m Pereira e\i)resscd reactions to the site and to the project generally vvliich have .served as additional guidelines and goals f o r the planning and design. From the very first moment he was so strongly affected bv the extra-orcbnaiy beauty of the site that it was his immechate wish to bu i ld so that every tree and rock would be preserved, so that the buildings would complement

rallicr than dominate their wonderful natural set­ting. As an architect, it was impossible for h im not to react strongly to the traditional building forms and urban patterns of New England wi th their in­herent (jualities of human scale and oiganized beautv of form and space, and to wish to incorporate these ciualities into the Center.

The site is a place of extraordinaiy beauty, heav ily forested with pines, oak, maple, birch and a lesser niixtme of other trees. Because of the shade f rom the dense canoj^y of trees there is l i t t le low foliage, and the groimd is almost bare except for lichens and ferns clustered amcmg rocks and isolated .scatterings of w i ld flowers. The ground undulates shaqily; two sleep ravines border the largc«r parcel (on the south side of Strafford Avenue) one to the south and one to the east. A ridge bisects tlie site, the .shallow soil along its crown laid bare by generations of weather to expose dramatic outcroppings of granite. A year-round stream, Pettee Brook, runs along the boundaiy separating the Center f rom the University on the south. The combination of strong forms, rich growth and catluKlral-like spaces beneath the trees contrib­utes to make this a magnificent conference setting.

Tlie Developiiient of a Vocabular)'

Because of the transient nature" of the conference participant, the interaction inherent in "a community of learning" vvcmld be more difficult to achieve witli-ont the balance impo.sed by the isolation and natural beaut>' of tlie site. One of the goals of this venture was to create a particidar kind of learning com­munity wi th in a natiual environment by preserving and dramatizing the .setting. To achieve this goal a vocabulary of design elements was established which, applied to the specific rcciuiremeiits of the Center would capitalize on the beauty of its setting.

I n organizing the spaces of the Center, one of the primary objectives was to maintain low site cover­age and minimize disturbauce to the natural growth and terrain. Some buildings, as a result, develoi)ed vertically. Others, whose ie(jiurements dictated a minimum number of floors, were situated in the ravines and valleys of the site to avoid advertising theii |)resence. For the most part, the structines ride free of the grade, supported on isolated footings which meet the ground in the form of a low granite base, a subtle man-made transition between build­ing and earth. A modular system was sought which would allow the bu i ld ing to take almost any shape. H i e triangular form selected — segments of a hexagon composed of small dimensional increments — allovss for considerable flexibility in the layout of the build-

ing. By careful fitting of the plan to the site, un-i H cessaiy earthwork and tree removal are eliminated; the buildings are vir tual ly tailored to the forest.

Covered walkways between the sei)arate buildings would provide some degree of protection dur ing wet weather. However, since these walks would tend to bisect the site, an effort was made to d(>\elop as l igl i t a canopy as possible, random in plan and seemingly supported by trees, causing a minimum of disturbance to the natural setting.

To give conference participants the maxium visual exposure to the site, considerable amounts of glass were employed in spaces where control of l ig l i t was not of paramount importance. Where possible, isolated windows were located to frame particularly delightful views of rock outcroppings and tree massings. Tlie glass itself is either clear or bronze in color, the t inted glass serving not only to control glare, but to reflect f rom the outside the images of the sur­rounding forest. Wliere walls are solid, similar re-

Interiors Concept

The (jnalities which are associated with New Kn«^land craftsmanship and art are as alixc toda\ as the\ w c i f two or three hundred years ago, and the (."enter is being built by and for people of the second half of the twentieth centuiy. From the out­set, therefore, the architect determined to use only contemporar} work, wi th a lew historic items, i f tlie\ can be obtained, to act as ke\ notes in various areas of the center. Thus tlie interiors w i l l interpret the New England tradition in terms of craftsmanship, iutegrit) and ingenuity, but thc\' w i l l be products of tochu 's artists and craftsmen.

The dining area w i l l be dedicated to the maritime tradition of the region and ma\ be the one public place in tlie (^entei where windows are coNcred at night wi th curtains, to create the maritime illusion. Seminar rooms w i l l reflect the four seasons with ap­propriate colors in fabrics and furnishings. This w i l l ser\e to identify tlie rooms and eliminate monotony as conferees mo\e about die Center.

The towers w i l l have the major items of furni t ine such as beds, desks and chairs specially designed. They w i l l be made of wood — elegant, [ilain and uniire-tentious, designed to make the most of the limited space axailable.

Lan.scape Concept

In dcNcloping the landseajx' surrounding the build­ings the objective is to preserve and dramatize the setting which already exists. The transition be­tween the natural and the man-made environment .should Ix^ purposefully vague; a subtle treatment of the relationship of the landscape to the architecture w i l l do much toward giving the impression that the bui ld ing has alwaxs been here. Hather tlian in­troducing new landscape materials, the design w i l l take advantage of existing situations whercwer pos­sible. Throughout the site, the native trees, .shrubs and ferns w i l l l)e identified l)\ ' placpies. Bird and animal shelters and feeding programs to encourage native game to frequent the area, w i l l make it pos­sible for eonferees to enjo\ a short course in w i l d ­life during their strolls outside.

Opening off the Lounge is the exhibition area which has specially designed lighting and display panels by Carter and Woodruff.

The furnishings in the Lounge were selected by Carter and Wood­

ruff to center on a red, orange and ochre

rug. Designed by the architects, the rug was

made by V'Soske. The side chairs are Stendig,

while the larger pieces upholstered in charcoal

gray velvet, are Dux.

The concentration of three s('i)aiate d in ing fnnct ions i n t o one large nnit at St. Panl's School in Concord p r o v i d e d the opportunity to change a former dining facihty, Margate, i n t o a modern art center and campus lounge.

riie architects, Carter and W o o d r u f f of Nashua, made very few exterior modifications but completely r enova ted and remodeled the interior. Tl ie main floor now has an audio visual room and an exhibition area, plus a larg;e lounge designed as a meeting plaee for parents and stu­dents, and for receptions and small fimctions. The l o w e r Hoor contains a craft shop, art studio, classrooms for des ign and architecture, a dark room plus supportive storage areas. The gallery and its storage room have humidi ty control a n d w i l l have air conditioning to encourage the loan o f f i r s t (juality art work.

Working w i t l i the architects were Reardon and T u r n e r , mechanical and electrical engineers; Albert A. G o l d b e r g Associates, structural engineers; and Edison Price, I n c . , l ighting consultants and fixture manufacturers. Bolt, Ber -anek and Newman were acoustieal eonsultants.

Announcing the era of the

gas-cooled erican He's the guy with a feather in his cap because he

won't have to go scouting for a new air condition­ing system for, say, 20 years. He's discovered great new gas air condit ioning.

It lasts about three times longer than other cooling systems. And it operates at peak efficiency all that time. That's because gas air conditioning has few­er moving parts, so hardly anything can go wrong. And, of course, gas air conditioning is beautifully clean and quiet.

Over the years, gas cooling saves the Gas Cooled American a nice piece of change—and gives him nice peace of mind, too. Now. What could be more American than that?

Gas makes the big difference. Costs less, too. Americon Gos AssoCiO'ion. tnc

A Panel Discussion

T HIS is the final article in a three-part se ries on the school i)Ian-

n i n g eonlerence held at St. Paul's Seliool in Concord and attended In architects, edueators and interested laymen. This segment continues a p.uiel discussion beuun in the ]\\\\v '68 issue. Participants include Dr . Robert Anderson, Professor of Edu-catiou, l l a r \ a r d Graduate School; John E. Marshall, Educational Con­sultant; and Christopher Arnold, a San Francisco-based architect.

flow do you define the .separate roles of the school hoard, (he huild-in<i, advisorij eononittee, (Did the professional edueator in these huild-in^ projeets?

Mr. Arnold: 1 could define these roles in the was in which I would like to see them pla\c cl as an archi-le( t. 1 think this is a \ e i A iin|)oitant issue which 1 would define realK as who gives the orders to the architect. Heeairse there is no (jues-tion in my mind the architect's role is re.illy a ser\ ice role and he needs to get his direetixos from someone, and he needs to gel \ c r \ . \er\ elear direetixos if the project is to h.ixc-an\ c hance of success. I would sa\' it s in\ feeling that the school board s role is as a general j)()Iic\ maker situation. It's their right to ha\e a go-no go situation and they should be far enough awa\ f rom the detailed cjuestions to be able to e\aliiat( these things and to make good de­cisions. And the wax in which the\

2 6

III. ike good decisions 1 think is b\ being gi\'en \e iy , very clear in­formation from their start and the point of contact is the superinten­dent. We lia\c found much the best results in fei n i s of the w a\ wo haxc worked when >ou ha\e a realK first-rate superintendent backc^d up by good staff work doing the s i f t ing and the hard labor, as it wore, in terms of preparing information whic h then goes through to a school board in a \er\ simple way. A n d a school bo.uci w hieli ti nsis its snp<'i -intendent and kncnvs that i f it gets three sentences about a \ C M \ majoi decision that in fact this represents a tremendous amount of work be­hind it and as a result a \ e n ' simple policy statement can be made. The bui ld ing ad\ isorx committee which I assume to be pediaps some foi in of c i t i /en s committee in relation to the building piogram 1 think is potentialK a useful thing and po-tentialK' also a wry dangerous thing. I don't think it should get invoKocl in decision-making eithei in det.ail or in general i)olic\ . I think the general |)oIie\ is the Board's mattei' aiul the detail is between the sujier-intendent on the educational side and the architect in terms of ma­terials and the solution. It ma\' be that the building ad\ isoi \ committee may haxc certain rules as a source of information from the population at large which should go in to the staff side, to the superintendeiit s side, and it ina\ haxc a role simply as a public ic-lations force in teiins

of feeding out f rom the staff side to the population at large. 1 think the worst th ing that can happen from the architect's point of view is when he gets a confused deci­sion-making body to work wi th . I think the ideal situation is where you realK liaxc one architect and one professional and they work together and it's understood that behind the professional educator is this whole triangle of informa­tion fanning out into the popula­tion and into the school board and into the education world. And be­hind this one architect is a whole triangle of information fanning out in terms of materials and costs and things which are being done else­where. Biit it's veiy difBcult i f the architect has to work wi th a con­fused decision-making group or with somebody that doesn't really carry the weight of the decision. And the school board I think should not be expected to delve deeply into the details and problems. That's the superintendent's job. I think a lot of problems in school l iu i ld ing come from a lack of veiy clear distinction about these roles. Again I think this goes back to some of the things I said this afternoon about the complication of life. As

life becomes more c()mi)licated, it becomes more and more important to ease the confusion of who is doing what and who is responsible for what.

Do ijoii IKHC an\i concrete ei i-(Icnce tlidt team teaching or^dtiizd-tioii is more productive in terms of children cmd ediic(ition-f)ro<s,ress than the traditional graded or^ani-Z(itiony

Dr. Anderson: There is a mistake in the (juestion which peiha])s I can correct and then assume what these people meant. Team ti 'aching is one thing and nongiaded is another. And one can ha\ t ' team teaching in a traditional graded organization and, therefore, there AVC tw o mutualK' e.xclusixc ideas being idcn t i f i i ' d as e(iui\alent.
