Course focused on understanding materials functioning on buildings through building a mock up version of the original building. The group decided to analyze the Walt Disney Concert Hall and focused on building the exterior (skin) of the building. By constructing this mockup, materials usage were explored through fabrication methods and deep analysis were explored.
