Congratulations to KieranTimberlake on winning an Honor Award for their Bulletin Building Renovation Project.
The adaptive reuse of the Bulletin Building transformed an architecturally and culturally significant 1955 structure into a contemporary life science building in Philadelphia.
The project gives a fresh identity to the Bulletin while preserving Howe’s original design intent. Glazed masonry along with stainless steel detailing and windows were restored throughout the building, and a carefully proportioned facade was installed on the building’s eastern side. The new high-performance facade, read as a single plane spanning the entire elevation in the spirit of Howe’s original composition, is bold on the urban scale while sensitive to the original architecture.A red aluminum frame hovers in front of the glass, providing shade and drawing façade elements together as a singular gesture. The juxtaposition of new and old establishes a conversation across time, and sets a paradigm for renovation of mid-century structures.
