leaving nothing to chance. sanaa before and after. models even during construction. grace farms.

The structure of SANAA. Grace farms double coped glue lam beams, 200 pipe columns fixed at base, no lateral cross bracing within the entire building, perimeter steel W sections in curved 22 foot segments.

How did SANAA use uncoated glass, curved without wave imperfections, and narrow 40 mm structural silicone joints? Overhangs cut direct sunlight, since no glass coatings were needed, heated glass and large thermal expansions at joints avoided, and annealed glass could be used.

When i asked how many people worked on the Grace farms design team and how Sanaa was structured. “3 full time staff, plus 2 who came in and out, and a bunch of interns who made a thousand models… the firm is horizontally structured, ideas come from all levels.”

What lies beneath. Grace Farms ceiling is clean of ducts. Ventilation is through the floor. Air passes through a series of steel eggcrates (air floor system) to either cool down or warm the raised thin concrete slab above and then is discharged at outlets in the floor.

The value of this Van Gogh painting at the Yale art gallery is worth more than the cost of the Yale center for British arts building and all of its English paintings combined…

How much IQ does it take to figure out curved glass detailing at Grace Farms. I met the head of the Front façade engineers who were involved in the project and asked what it was like when they split from Macfarlane. He smiled and told me about a flight back from their work on the

Sanaa structural logic. each beam tilted to follow the slope of the site and the distance between beams changing slightly.

Every turn in a Louis Kahn museum feels like an existential choice — left or right.
