Construction Experiment & Mock-up, Construction Process

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 screeding the concrete. The test explored the possibilities and difficulties of its prefabrication and lifting it in place. Two additional photos focusing on details of its reinforcement.
