About Pet Resource Center 동물 보호 시설
펫 리소스 센터(Pet Resource Center)는 미국 아칸소주 벤턴빌에 위치한 공공 동물 보호 시설이다. 이 센터는 반려동물의 입양과 임시 보호를 지원한다. 견사와 케이지는 의도적으로 배제되었다. 설계는 지역의 전원 경관과 인근 헛간 건물의 형태에 호응한다. 경사 지붕은 솟아오르고 서로 합쳐지며 뻗어나가 프로그램 공간을 감싼다. 커뮤니티 동과 의료 동은 내부 브리지로 연결되며, 이 브리지는 하부의 행사 공간에 그늘을 드리우고 자원봉사자를 위한 작업 공간을 제공한다. 건물은 6에이커 부지에 20,000제곱피트의 실내 공간과 동일한 면적의 외부 공간을 갖추고 있다.

- Unique Properties
- As the first building of its kind, the Pet Resource Center is a revolution in the animal care industry. With kennels and cages intentionally omitted, Its function is similar in many ways to an animal shelter, but its fundamental philosophy is the polar opposite.

- Site: 6 acres
Building: 20,000 Square Feet Interior

- ANALYSIS
A deep dive into typology allowed us to parse and categorize the language into architectural strategies for form. These are the strategies we used to manipulate our roofscape to achieve an efficient and intentional peaking, merging, kicking out of the slopes to traverse the site and shelter the program. - Design Challenge
- A CUSTOMIZED PROGRAM
As a new Buidling Type, we had to devise a different approach to the design of the building. We had to rethink the purpose, the flow and the program. This Center needed to be community-focused, inclusive, and welcoming. We needed to pull the public into the world of Best Friends and get them involved, either to donate, volunteer, adopt or foster. It needed to support its affiliated rescues, foster parents, and the animals. It needed to provide adequate medical care and spay and neuter services. It needed to educate on all aspects of animal care including dog behavior or kitten feeding. It would even provide a community pantry for parents that were in need. The spaces are designed around these functions and creatively support these aspirations. - Research
- It was clear to us and important for the client that the new facility related to its surroundings. To respond to this we studied the local vernacular and analyzed the shapes and geometries of local barn buildings. This was developed into a modern architecture that could support all the functions.
- Inspiration
- One of the first questions the client asked us during the interview process was ‘How are you going to make this fit into the local vernacular?’.
It was clear that needed to be an important part of our design approach. Even though Bentonville is a hub of industry, it still has a predominantly rural landscape. Old barn buildings are scattered throughout standing alone on wide fields between clusters of grazing cows. - Project Duration
- Location: Bentonville Arkansas
The design for this project began in January 2020 with Construction ending in March 2023 - Operation Flow
- The Center is a public building that supports the adoption and fostering of pets. The Community wing and the medical wing are connected with an internal bridge that provides shade for the event spaces below and a gathering and work space for volunteers.
