One of the main topics of research, included in every building project, was to identify, early on in the design process, the material and techniques of construction. This would re-establish building as an art, and allow rapid shaping and adaptation, ...

Eight photographs of a full scale test tiled wall panel, the size and shape of an exterior wall segment with a window opening. They depict the procedure of its fabrication –placing tiles, placing and tiying reinforcement, and finally pouring and ...

Nine images from the process of moving the full scale prefabricated test tiled wall panel out of the workshop and lifting it, for testing its weight and behaviour. Finally the prefabrication of the tiled wall panels was rejected.

Four photographs of a full scale test tiled wall panel, the size and shape of an exterior wall segment with a window opening. They depict the first stage of its prefabrication procedure, during which tiles are laid out in relation ...
