Richard B. Fisher Middle for the Performing Arts at Bard Higher
The Richard B. Fisher Middle for the Performing Arts is the latest addition to the Bard Higher campus. Featuring a curving roof and structure manufactured by Zahner, the building is nestled amongst the foothills of the Catskill Mountains.
The performance center was completed in 2003, designed by Frank Gehry Partners. Zahner has been involved with Gehry'southward business firm since the kickoff, and has been involved in a number of featured Gehry projects over the years. The Bard College was finished a twelvemonth subsequently Weatherhead at Example Western, and a year prior to the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, Chicago. All three were built using Zahner engineering-design, fabrication, and installation.

Creating the Surface of Fisher Center
Affections Hair stainless steel clads the entire surface of the secondary structure (which was also produced by Zahner, explained below). The stainless steel skins were lapped and fastened using a custom-engineered counter-sunk fastener. The terminate of this surface is unlike any other surface in its power to create muted tones, ambiently reflecting its surroundings.

Designing, Fabricating, and Installing with ZEPPS Technology
Working in CATIA and Pro-Engineer and utilizing Gehry Partners master model, Zahner adult a workable surface using the ZEPPS Technology to form the walls and roof of this dynamic set of structures.
Using the dual-curving panels made possible past ZEPPS eliminates several construction steps because it requires no additional supports or finishing due to its exclusively structural aluminum components. Over 3,200 stainless sheets were installed on top of 710 unique ZEPPS assemblies — each panel interlocks with the next to form the dynamic just compatible surface of the roof and sides.
Using the ZEPPS assemblies allowed the unabridged EIFS (Outside Insulation Finishing Systems) wall and glazing to be embedded in the dual curving forms. This provided options for the interior wall surfaces of the building to closely mirror the outside of the building. Along with EIFS walls and glazing, Zahner's system formed the entire roof, wall and much of the building envelope for the performing arts center.
The panels consist of a loftier strength aluminum frame construction profiled to class the shape desired past the architect. Per the architect's request, the interior side of the console was left uncovered to betrayal the intricate framing members.

The Bard Higher awning is the first blueprint by Frank Gehry Partners to leave the ZEPPS understructure exposed, a decision made to celebrate the circuitous construction that goes into buildings.
The engineers at Zahner and the architects at Gehry's office enjoy a dynamic working relationship that continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what is possible to blueprint and build. Learn more virtually how Gehry's squad works with Zahner to build complex buildings.
