Comment
Another Clark Brown design, this building was formed with the same jump-form techniques as per Princeton and Nova en Scotia. The main difference in this project was the use of Xypex in the outer concrete walls, resulting in a watertight structural shell that requires no cladding or coatings.
The weathering steel plates up the faces and extents of the building will tone down over time, though to date are eye-catching to say the least!
