Axonometric Section Cut

from CT Patterson: "This axon was 10' tall and 3' wide. Spent about 30 hours building the model, extracting the linework, cleaning it up, and lineweighting it. The reason for all this labor? We have been in a tectonics studio the entire year. The irony? OF COURSE the jury barely noticed it. OF COURSE they almost exclusively looked at perspectives. Here's the order of importance for catching a jury's eye: - Physical model. Always model. - if no model, perspectives - if no perspectives, elevations - if no elevations, axonometrics - if no axonometrics, sections. - if no sections, plans. And print everything white on black background. So it seems more serious and hip. I kid, but It's somewhat true."

i am sure you can relate to this flickr post after having gone through 1/2 year of a tectonics studio.

STRUCTURE - THE CASTELAR BUILDING (headquarters for a bank), by Rafael de la Hoz Arderius and Gerardo Olivares, Madrid / Spain, 1974 - 1986

almost 50 years old ! this amazing building - a tower on top of a podium - is HUNG; a mega column containing stairs and lifts and a L-shaped concrete arm hold the floors of perpendicular grids of steel.

COMPOSITE PANEL FACADE - MECANOO, Student Housing DUWO, Delft, Netherlands

https://www.mecanoo.nl/Projects/project/55/Student-Housing-DUWO

Three residential “towers” finished in dark masonry laid with “beards” of overflowing excess mortar, their irregular texture resulting in a distinctive play of shadows on the facade. Facing the park, the three buildings feature a green facade of COMPOSITE PANELS (translucent glass fiber composite) combined with a tubular metal frame covered in climbing plants.

images - starting at top:

image 1 - facade details section of brick veneer wall

image 2 - joint of brick and composite panel facade

image 3 - facade detail section of composite panel and climbing structure

image 4 - close-up of composite panel and climbing structure

image 5 - composite panel facade facing park

link to the fabricator of the composite panel, RAFICLAD:

PLEASE, NOTE THAT THE FACADE DETAIL SECTIONS ARE DRAWN IN A 1:20 SCALE (metric); your assignment for a 1/2″ scale facade section compares to a 1:25 metric scale!
