It has a number of safety features that allow it to be safe for students In addition to its flexibility, the structure was designed to make the arts visible to the campus. To accomplish this, REX included a "clear storey", a glazed walkway that runs the length of the building, passing between the shoebox form and the exterior wall.
Back in the day, we didn’t detail our exterior wall assemblies as rainscreens, and our weather barriers were often simply “building paper.” The decisions we’re compelled to make on every design project have multiplied exponentially: What type of weather-proof barrier should we specify for the rainscreen assembly in our project?
Non-combustible materials form the exterior of a cabin near Lake Tahoe that was designed by US studio Faulkner Architects to serve as a "base camp" for an active family. Exterior walls consist of concrete and 16-gauge weathering steel – materials that are known for being non-combustible and could help the building survive a wildfire.
