PROJECT 03
STRUCTURE, SKIN, AND EXPERIENCE// structural materials and their abstract properties
We chose precast concrete looking to explore the rigidity of the process while also looking to push its limits. In our exploration of the system, we looked into the structural elements of precast, finding ways to engage it in a way both practical and that fit with our design ideas. We were first attracted to precast concrete because of its versatility. Being able to customize a wall panel into any shape and from this create a surface was a very interesting characteristic. This, together with the modular capabilities of the system pushed us to use precast in our project. We decided to accentuate the versatility and modularity of precast concrete by creating one wall panel in a unique geometric shape to then replicate in large amounts and assemble as a wall. We were able to achieve a look that was both eclectic and homogeneous by rotating the module and grouting the sides to create a sense of consistency.

STRUCTURE, SKIN, AND EXPERIENCE// the interaction of structure and cladding
We chose to pair a steel frame building system with a precast concrete cladding. The steel structure was chosen due to its ability to hold large loads with very few members, to allow for structural stability without becoming the center of attention. This spot was taken by the precast concrete cladding system. With this system we chose to explore the rigidity of the precast process and the endless opportunities for innovation in the shapes and design of it. Despite the larger focus being on the precast elements, we still wanted the structural aspect to shine through at some moments, which is why you are able to get some glimpses of the steel frame behind the cladding system. We were able to achieve a look that was both eclectic and homogeneous by rotating the module and grouting the sides to create a sense of consistency and pairing the concrete with contrasting yet familiar steel that you are able to see throughout the wall.
