1 / 1
Project entry 2014 North America – Latex Formwork: Concrete wall panel construction method, Cambridge, MA, USA
Phase 02, possible applications of the concrete panel for building. Reaching out to the sea, a sustainable fish market uses curved concrete panels for exterior walls based on the research of the first phase of the Ephemeral Concrete project. The main program of this building is a fish market. Two different flows, industrial and people, overlap in one building.
The jury commends the exploratory nature of the project. Particularly appreciated is the author’s intention to establish a dialog between the workshop and the design atelier – a process investigating forms of mutual relationships between the production of full scale prototypes and the design of architectural propositions by means of drawings and digital models. A form of knowledge production is here explored that merges academic and practical work.
