Upham House: Concrete wall shape and detailing

1990
Construction System, Structural Wall
The main structural wall of the house, details of the technique, shape and figure were developed from the mockups for the wall construction elements. A detailed, full-size cardboard mockup of a complete bay of the wall was built on site, as well as several mock-ups using concrete blocks, tiles and concrete for studying relationships, sizes and proportions of its basic elements and ornaments.
