MATscape
MATscape, Mitchell Joachim, Theoretical Project. This project is an expression of the "Cradle to Cradle" text, and will naturally have some associations with bioefficacy, but the overall driver of this project is the utilization of organic elements to inform building energy use and morphology. According to the website, the gridded facade is "coded" as a result of climatological inputs. Also, the surface membrane is kinetic over time, as people adjust the facade components to fit their lifesty
CASE STUDY / ARCH 372
Heydar Aliyev Center is analysed as an architectural example which highlights specific concepts in terms of the buildings material usage and the embedded buildign technologies. The skin of the building is clad with composite fibre. In this way, the smooth surface condition in the building can be obtained. In order to achieve high corrosion protection,…
