The Kunsthaus in Graz, Austria is an exhibition hall designed for multidisciplinary modern and contemporary art. I am focusing on the surface of the structure made up of many different panels pieced together. The outer 'skin' has no structural qualities nor does it serve to distribute rainwater as the plumbing is internal and the water runs between the gaps in the the panels.
I intend to take a similar approach to my site by adding a skin surface to the buildings in my site. Instead I will use a flexible material like canvas to wrap the buildings with. Brackets will be placed in regular intervals to attach the canvas skin, to the existing facade. I will model this join in a 1:1 scale with the materials which would be used in the actual structure.
