Architect's or Client's Building?
Dear Editor:
We propose to construct a small office for the permanent home of our
company. We would like for our building to be distinctive enough that it will
become a symbol of identification.
We have some very positive ideas about how this building should be
arranged and how it should look. We definitely want a colonial building with
columns at the entrance.
We have consulted with two architects of good reputation and each has
declined to serve us. They say that it is their responsibility to design the
building rather than to simply draw up what we tell them to.
Before we approach a third architect, we would like to have the position
of architects clarified.
Should the architect design what he wants or what we want?
Dear M. L. C.:
Sincerely,
M. L. C.
Fortunately ther e are no rules set up to control the design aspect of
architecture. Each architect is free to design according to the dictates of his
convictions. However, it is a rare case if he is granted license to design what
he alone wants, to the exclusion of what his client wants. After all, the client
has to state the program hefore the architect can go to work. Ideally, the
results of his efforts should be what each wants.
More directly to the point, I have no doubt that you can find someone
who will simply draw up what you tell him to, but I advise against it. I sug-
gest that you go back to the first architect you contacted and ask for a design
rather than dictating one.
H he is a good designer, and he probahly i s or you wouldn't have gone
to him in the first place, then he will not ignore your ideas and your dedica-
tion to colonial buildings. Rather, he will use your ideas in combination
with his to develop your primary program requirement: " a building distinc-
tive enough to hecome a symbol of identification" for your company. Truly
distinctive huildings are seldom if ever the result of design by the untrained
or of copies from the past.

EDWARD F. NEAL, A.lA.

School
of
Nursing
T
HE Gilioy School of ursing has been com-
pleted as Phase I of a current long-range
expansion program by the Mississippi Bapti t
Hospital, Jackson, Miss. The design criteria Ie-
quired the use of an existing reinforced concrete
frame dormitory as an integral part of the solu-
tion. The entire complex was to be so situated
that parking would be provided for 40 automo-
biles with vehicular acces through the site. Suf-
ficient building area was to be reserved for future
construction fronting on Fortification Street.
The building criteria called for a school to
accommodate 200 nurses, providing the following
f acili ties:
1. 100- 2 occupant bedrooms with 1 bath serv-
ing 2 rooms or 4 gil-] .
2. Small clinical facilities for dormitory.
3. Study lounge each floor of dormitory.
4. Trunk storage and domestic laundry facili-
ties.
5. Date lounge and living room which could
be combined for large function.
6. House mother and assistant house mother
quarters .
7. A lecture hall to seat 120 people that could
be divided into 2 rooms to eat 60 people
each. The l ectru'e hall to be so located that
it could be used for public functions as well
a a part of the school.
8. 4 classrooms, 2 laboratories, and instructors'
offices.
9. Library avai'lable to dormitory without
acce s to academic area.
The solution consisted of convelting th e exist-
ing dormitory into an academi c building and
connecting this area to the new dormitory with
an administrative wing. The configm'ation of the
plan was developed to provide a landscaped court
to b e used in conjunction with the living room
and date lounge area which open onto it with
sliding glass walls. Futm'e plans provide for a
phy ical fitness building that will completel y en-
close the court yard area and. be connected to the
dormitory by a colonnade. At the present time a
sun deck i provided over the main mechanical
room wi'tll access to the second floor of the
dormitory. The construction of the building is
gen cr all y :
Foundation- PouTed in place pile and grade
beam.
Con truction- Reinforced concr et e.
Exterior WaIls- Porcelain enamel panel and
E
10 inch cavity. Exterior, face bl' ick ; interior,
expo ed concrete block.

HE trend to marble is growing rapidly in mod-
ern suburban banking institutions throughout the
country. An example of this increasing preference
for richer and more enduring materials in suburban
areas is the six-story office building of Loyola Fed-
eral Savings & Loan Association, recently erected in
Towson, Maryland. Marble gives the structure an air
of dignified elegance formerly associated only with
central city banks.
The entire first floor areas of the banking room
and lobby, as well as the rear entrance and corridor,
are of Vermont Marble Company's Pavanazzo. This
marble was chosen also for an outdoor bench in the
beautifully landscaped entrance plaza.
Vermont Marble's Verde Accelgio, selected for a
floor-to-ceiling partition wall between the entrance
lobby and elevator lobby, presents an accent of rich
decor to one entering the building. This same marble
was employed in a four-foot-high panel near the
exterior left front corner of the building' s ground
floor.
Loyola Federal's Towson Branch occupies nearl y
all of the first floor of the building, while the upper
five floors are devoted to rental office space. Basic
construction of the 49,850 square foot structure is
steel frame with pre-cast concrete plank floor. Ex-
terior is pre-cast panels with aluminum windows.

The richness of marble is strikingly accentuated in this beautiful
expanse of Vermont Pavanazzo flooring in Loyola Federal's
banking room. The light tones of the marble contrast pleasingly
with the darker hues of the columns and partitions.
Loyola Federal's banking room shows extensive use of Vermont
Pavanazzo marble flooring for this public area. This marble is
employed also as flooring in the elevatar labby, and the rear
entrance and corridor leading to the banking room.
STORAGE SHED
on a
'" new Caribbean landmark is Alcoa' s
huge aluminum dome bauxite storage
shed at Rocky Point, Jamaica. Bauxite
comes from mines in 86-to" ~ I u m i n u m
rail cars (right). From an open storage
area (dark patch, top left), ore is screened,
dried, and moved to the dome to be kept
dry until loaded aboard ore carriers.
String af 86-ton aluminum hopper cars
stretches across front of giant skeleton
of lamella dome, also of aluminum.
Latticework of triangles supporting the aluminum skeleton of
Alcoa's huge bauxite storage shed at Rocky Point, Ja ma ica.
A NEW Caribbean landmark exists in one of the
world's largest aluminumdomed storage sheds
in Rocky Point, Jamaica, created to hasten Alcoa
shipments of aluminum ore needed to meet an ex
panding demand for the light metal.
Cresting 100 feet above a sealevel coral reef, the
giant umbrella of aluminum alloy tubing and sheet,
300 feet in diameter, protects dried bauxite which is
held for transport to Aluminum Company of Amer
ica's refining plant at Point Comfort, Texas.
Representing a unique innovation in an unceasing
effort to improve mining and ore.handling effi ciency,
the domed design of the storage facility affords a
vast unobstructed shelter from which automated
conveyors can speed ore into a ship hold at the
rate of 2,000 tons an hour.
Alcoa Minerals of Jamaica, Inc., the subsidiary
which specified the dome as a key element in a
recentlycompleted $16.5 million open pit mining
complex, said the circul ar structure greatl y mini
mized the ground area a conventi onal rectangular
building would have required. Dredging of coral
fill , piling and related site preparation requirement
costs were thus reduced considerably.
The dome's convex framework empl oys 158 tons
of structural aluminum tubing. Equivalent to 4%
pounds per square foot of floor area, the tube is
joined into a latticework of triangles supporting a
90ton roof covering of aluminum alloy sheet. A
rectangular steel storage structure, affording but half
the dome' s unobstructed width and height, would
have required a 900ton steel frame equivalent to
25 pounds per square foot of ground area.
Alcoa' s Lafayette (Ind. ) and Cressona (Pa.)
operations fabricated the lOinch diameter alloy
6062T6 tubing for the intricate framing of the
dome. The roof panels of Alclad 6061T6 sheet were
rolled at the company's Davenport (Iowa) Works.
Workmen operating from pipe scaffolding, mounted
on a rotating truss within the building itself, bolted
the sub assembled frame sections into place prior to
the sheeting operation.
As novel as the dome itself is, a bauxite handling
and reclaiming system makes possible the complete
recover y of all stored ore without the use of scrap
ers, bulldozers, or other supplementary equipment.

STABLISHMENT of the construction industry's first
"hall of fame" was announced by Harnischfeger
Corporation.
Created to honor the nation's leading contractors,
the hall will display the portraits of America's most
successful construction executives. It will be located
in the company's recently opened research center in
Milwaukee.
In honor of the hall and the men named to it, the
company has named the building "Progress Hall."
Announcement of the creation of the hall of fame
was made by president Henry Harnischfeger at the
annual Construction and Mining Division meeting
in Chicago.
Corporation president Henry Harnischfeger also
announced the appointment of seven contractors as
initial honorees into Progress Hall.
"I am confident," said president Harnischfeger,
"that these seven men and those who follow will
Progress Hall-
Construction
Industry's
"Hall Of Fame"
serve as an inspiration to the industry, our engineers
and everyone who visits Progress Hall. By establish-
ing this display we honor our partners in this indus-
try, the contractor. Without these partners our equip-
ment could do little to achieve the progress that
marks this nation's dynamic growth.
"Through sound management practices and imagi-
native utilization of materials, they have demon-
strated their true leadership in the heavy construc-
tion industry. Our role of developing and building
better equipment is just one step in providing this
nation with the dams, buildings, roads and struc-
tures it needs. In the hands of men like these an
engineer's fondest dreams have become reality."
The portraits of the seven men, along with appro-
priate legends, will be permanently displayed at
Progress Hall. Harnischfeger Corporation plans to
name additional leading contractors annually to the
hall of fame.
WELLS FARGO BUILDING
C
ONSTRUCTION of the Wells Fargo Building is in
full swing and will continue to be until ready
for tenants in the summer of 1966. See photo at
right.
The official announcement of the $20,000,000
building took place on May 27, 1963, when it be-
came known that the owner and developer would be
Dillingham Corporation of San Francisco, a sub-
sidiary of Dillingham Corporation, Honolulu, Ha-
waii. Haas and Haynie Corp., was named general
contractor at the same time.
The Wells Fargo Bank holds title to the land and
has awarded a long term lease on the site to Dilling-
ham. The Nevada Bank Building, now occupied by
the bank at the corner of Montgomery and Market,
will be removed in 1965 and in its place will be built
a three-story, glass-walled banking hall, integrated
architecturally with the 43-story office tower rising
from the Montgomery-Sutter corner. This lower ele-
ment will house part of the Market-Montgomery
Street office of the Wells Fargo Bank, continuing
almost 60 years of banking service at this location.
See photo below.
The present construction phase consists of further
site preparation to allow for excavation for the sub-
basement, about 20 feet below the Montgomery
Street level. Then driving of foundation piles will
take place, followed by the erection of the steel
frame. By the end of the year all structural steel
should be in place, and a start made on pouring the
concrete columns and floors.
Construction and long-term financing is being fur-
nished by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States, and her long-time San Francisco
real estate firm of Walter H. Sullivan & Sons has
been named leasing agents.
Dillingham Corporation's other interests in Cali-
fornia are the Plaza Hotel on Union Square along
with adjacent property on Stockton Street.

I
NDUSTRIAL ACCOUSTICS COMPANY, INC. has opened
a new 6,OOO-sq. ft. laboratory in New York City
for research in noi se control problems and acoustic-
ally controlled environments.
"It is probably the largest aero-acoustic facility in
the sound control field," said lAC President Martin
Hirschorn, "and is unique in bringing together un-
der one roof coordinated airflow and acoustic facil-
ities for research, desi gn and product development.
It is also the only laboratory with facilities for air-
flo w noise regeneration studies," he added.
The laboratory is equiped to study acoustic nOIse
and environmental control problems in many areas
including :
Architectural structures such as doors, panels,
windows and complete rooms or houses for in-
door and outdoor applications.
Air conditioning and air handling systems in
general.
Industrial power plant mufflers.
Jet engine noise suppressors.
Silencing of diesel engines, generator sets, gas
turbines, electric motors, machinery and per-
sonal enclosures.
Hearing conservation programs.
Anechoic and reverberant rooms.

Architectural panel testing in Industrial Acoustics
Company's new laboratory facilities in New York
City: Transmission loss properties of a plastic foam
sample will be tested when sample is sealed into
duct at left. The two duels will be connected and
microphones placed on both sides of the test speci-
men to determine its acoustic transmission loss.
LABORATORY
Architectural sound research in new lAC laboratory
is facilitated by adjacent reverberant rooms with
open space between. To measure noise transmission
loss from one side of this modular wall panel to
the other, it wi" be sealed into the space between
the two rooms. Loudspeakers located in foreground
room wi" generate uniform noise level of approxi-
mately 112 decibles over one side of panel to deter-
mine specimen's transmission loss.
o
.,
..
Medical research and examination chambers.
Production control stations.
Also electroacoustic instrumentation including
sound level meters and analyzers, sonic control
devices and engine power indicators.
This laboratory is the offshoot of a smaller one
which was operated by lAC for over 12 years. In
the latter, lAC applied and refined its research know-
how in the development of architectural acoustic
panels, industrial and air conditioning silencers, jet
engine noise suppressors, soundproof machinery en-
closures and completely equipped modular sound-
proof rooms for medical and other applications.

Materials testing in Indus-
trial Acoustics Company's
new labo(atory is aided by
such equipment as imped-
ance tube for measuring
percentage of noise ab-
'sorbed by materials. Here,
a research engineer inserts
a sample of a material into
rear of the tube. A pure-
tone (or discrete frequency)
will be generated at op-
posite end.
lAC's new laboratory includes the following facil-
ities:
1. Two inter-connecting reverberant rooms with
a volume of 3,000 cu. ft. and 3,600 cu. ft. respec-
tively and a 4' x 8' opening to test the sound trans-
mission loss of architectural panels up to that size.
2. Semi-anechoic room with a volume of 8,000
cu. ft.
3. A 100-ft.-Iong airflow tunnel discharging with
reverberant or anechoic termination. Test sections
up to 24" X 24" can be accommodated. This tunnel
can also be used for static tests. Tunnel is designed
to study the regeneration of noise due to air flow.
Headquarters For Rocketdyne
R
OCKETDYNE, a division of North American Avia-
tion, Inc. , has activated its new headquarters
building, a four- story structure designed to match
the performance record of the company's space en-
gines.
"Streamlined functionalism has been the architec-
tural guideline from concept to completi on of this
building," declared Kenneth Neptune, A.LA.
Under constr uction for the last year at the south-
west corner of Canoga Avenue and Victory Boule-
vard in Canoga Park on a 10-acre portion of the
old Warner Ranch, the new building overlooks the
Division' s adjacent plants.
It houses the management team which has divi -
sion-wide responsibility for support and poli cy direc-
tion of Rocketdyne's development and production of
rocket engines. More than 90 per cent of all United
States space vehicles, including the astronaut-manned
Mercury mi ssiles, have used Rocketdyne engines.
The building has made possible the geographical
unifi cati on of overall management functions, and
10
the separation of such activities from those directed
at specific product targets.
Neptune designed the building to sit atop a four-
foot hi gh pedestal with sheer curtain walls of cathe-
dral glass rising skyward at the front and rear of
the building. The east and west ends of the building
are masonry, built of oversized brick set in a pre-
cise pattern and painted slate gray.
The building has a dimension of 91% feet by 156
feet, not including a one-story extrusion, and pro-
duces 60,000 gross square feet of space.
It features an entrance portico and 30-foot wide
terraces at the front , west side and rear. Terraces
are topped with white cement and finished with a
metal grid pattern.
Seen from a short distance, the building's glass
curtain walls appear to be broken onl y by five sup-
port columns and the anodized bright aluminum
vertical mullions which set a rhythmic pattern.
This optical, illusion, Neptune said, results from
the fact that the horizontal mulli ons are anodized
black and fade into the opaque of the glass.
