    Project entry 2014 North America – Latex Formwork: Concrete wall panel construction method, Cambridge, MA, USA

    Phase 01, a new construction method study. Ephemeral Concrete explores a sustainable concrete wall panel construction method, finding a creative way to produce exterior concrete panels efficiently. The shape of the concrete panel wall is thin and curved to create a vertical frame.

The research project investigates a new construction method for creating thin concrete panels. The faceted formwork includes a substructure of flexible wire mesh providing basic geometry, and a lining made of a latex sheet that determines the panel’s final form.

The proposed method aims to reduce the weight of concrete molds and the amount of material used in construction.
