This project’s facade explores the duality of tectonic solidity and material erosion through stereotomic coral limestone and adobe earth walls layered with steel substructures and thermal buffers.
Facade and connections
This seminar explores the multifaceted role of building envelopes, examining them as complex material ecologies. Through a combination of lectures and research projects, students examine how they facades perform thermally and structurally, as well as how building materials evolve in response to various construction methods.
