Deflate-ables

Pneumatic structures have been thoroughly investigated and developed during the 60’s. However, the energy crisis and aesthetic developments prevented this type of structures from becoming part of the mainstream construction methods. Nowadays these structures are typically used in special areas

Imagine facades

The facade technology of the 20th century is related to the dissolution of the massive wall into a separation of structure and facade. Looking at the development of facade technology now, after 60 years of curtain wall systems, 30 years

Container Facade

A random picture of stacked containers shows the potentials for fast and easy facade construction out of recycled shipping containers. The container units have been used in multiple examples in architecture with successful and non successful results. It is a
