Go BackThe Julian Street Inn – Shelter for the Homeless: Construction experiments for testing the prefabrication of wall-segment tile panels and lifting them in place – Photographs of experimental mock-up depicting construction process
01/01/1988Nine 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 not selected as the best way to proceed.
