灵感来自于帕卢斯地区的起伏景观,该地区是由冰河时代末期的米苏拉大洪水形成的,可容纳4000人的多用途爱达荷中央信贷联盟(ICCDU)体育馆被设计为爱达荷大学校园的一个引人注目的门户。它是大学篮球项目的主场,也是各种活动的聚集地,包括体育赛事、音乐会、庆祝会和校园项目。

Inspired by the undulating landscape forms of the Palouse region, formed by the cataclysmic Missoula floods at the end of the Ice Age, the 4,000-seat multi-use Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) Arena was designed as a dramatic gateway to the University of Idaho campus. It serves as the home for the University’s basketball program and a gathering place for a variety of activities including athletic events, concerts, convocations, and campus programs.

新设施提供了一个亲密的观众体验,展示了该地区的独特特征和与可持续自然资源的深刻联系。大量的木材设计和对自然光的大量使用,代表了对传统的钢筋混凝土体育场馆类型的重大突破。该场馆的设想是通过与地区林务人员和木制品行业合作伙伴的合作,促进可持续木材设计的创新。

The new facility provides an intimate spectator experience, showcasing the region’s unique characteristics and deep connections to sustainable natural resources. The mass timber design and abundant use of natural light represent a significant break from the traditional steel and concrete sports arena typology. The arena was envisioned to promote innovation in sustainable wood design, through collaboration with regional foresters and wood product industry partners.

该项目的形式和材料表达创造了一种扎根于爱达荷州历史的场所感,并着眼于未来。这是一个旨在庆祝运动成就的地方,也是一个教育催化剂,通过展示在胶合大跨度桁架中创新使用当地采伐的木材,以及木钉层压木材(DLT)结构元素,为大学的林业和工程系的学生提供了一个学习实验室。

The project’s formal and material expression creates a sense of place rooted in Idaho’s history that looks toward the future. It is a place meant to celebrate athletic achievement and serves as an educational catalyst in the form of a learning laboratory for students in the University’s forestry and engineering departments by showcasing the innovative use of locally harvested timber in glue-laminated long-span trusses, and dowel-laminated-timber (DLT) structural elements.

屋顶从朝西的入口门廊向后延伸,分裂开来,在北侧大厅上方创造出重叠的轮廓形式,引出帕卢斯蜿蜒起伏的山丘轮廓。在东边,屋顶缓缓地环绕着练习场,并与地面相连接。外侧的墙壁被设计成与富有表现力的胶合结构相拥抱。

Extending back from the levitated west-facing entry porch, the roof splits apart to create overlapping contoured forms above the north concourse, invoking the sinuous rolling hill contours of the Palouse. To the east, the roof gently wraps down around the practice court and connects with the ground plane. The exterior side walls were designed to be embraced by the expressive glue-laminated structure.

木炭染色的雪松墙的起伏纹理从该地区的早期家园结构中获得了灵感,并与光滑的人造横梁形成了对比。屋顶平面之间的开放裂缝被半透明的玻璃填充,为整个表演场提供散射的自然光,全玻璃的木质幕墙为场馆内外提供了视野,场馆内的动作始终在展示。裸露和起伏的花旗松屋顶结构为球员和观众创造了一个温暖和拥抱的体验。

The undulating texture of the charcoal-stained cedar walls draws inspiration from early homestead structures in the region and stands in juxtaposition to smooth fabricated beams. The open fissures between the roof planes are infilled with translucent glazing to provide diffused natural light throughout the performance court and a fully glazed wood curtainwall provides views in and out of the arena where the action is always on display. The exposed and undulating Douglas fir roof structure creates a warm and embracing experience for players and patrons alike.

为了实现木结构的诗意之美,必须将机械和电气系统整合到结构本身。主体结构采用了一个伸展的门式桁架和一个重复的王柱桁架系统。门式桁架和王柱桁架的设计采用了双胶层顶绳,在结构之间创造了一个间隔空间,作为 “公用设施公路 “来隐藏机械和电气元件。在场馆的西侧,公用设施被隐藏在集成到体育办公室、更衣室和校友中心的檐口后面,校友中心提供了一个俯瞰主球场的高层特别活动室。向西看去,观众还可以在坚固的悬臂屋顶的掩护下体验范达尔人的露台,可以看到帕卢斯连绵起伏的山丘,在那里,地方和社区的体验是完整的。

To realize the poetic beauty of the wood structure it was imperative to integrate the mechanical and electrical systems into the structure itself. The primary structure utilized a splayed portal truss and a repetitive king post truss system. The portal truss and king post trusses were designed with double glue-laminated top cords creating an interstitial space between the structure that was used as a “utility highway” to conceal mechanical and electrical components. On the west side of the arena, utilities were concealed behind soffits integrated into the athletic offices, locker room, and alumni center which provides an upper-level special event room overlooking the main court. Looking to the west patrons can also experience the Vandal terrace under cover of the robust cantilevered roof with views out to the rolling hills of the Palouse where the experience of place and community comes full circle.
