Core and Shell
A technical set documenting how a building actually keeps water and heat where they belong, drawn assembly by assembly with the thermal values worked out.
The unglamorous half of architecture, and the half that decides whether a building lasts. The set works through the envelope assembly by assembly: flashing, pressure treated wall plates, gaskets at the junctions, and the thermal resistance of each layer calculated rather than assumed, including the concrete.
Doing this in third year is what makes it possible to detail a 400 millimetre wall on a real house later and defend the choice, which is the connection between this sheet and La Casa Aranas.
Produced as Group 1 for ARCC 2203 under Jay Lim.
