Green Corner Building Construction Process
The facade of Green Corner Buidling is casted wuth sand, `giving the precast pieces an unique texture. To help with demolding, a layer of silicon is applied before pouring concrete.
ReidInstructor: Michael Jefferson
Casting Test Model
Casted with a mold using paper mache, mimicing the sand mold used in the actual construction. The model displays the rich organic texture that could be archieved via this casting technique.
Precedent Analysis: Environmental Control Systems and Building Performance
Nestled in Ithaca, New York, 917 West State Street is a pivotal industrial area within the city. Additionally, it serves as one of the crucial entry points to Ithaca. The Cayuga Inlet also passes in front of the location, adding another significant geographical feature.
