Thesis Book - Seeds of Hope

materials used
While natural wood forms the
soffits, louvers, and exterior walls,
the lower roofs of each building were
conceived as tapered, thin eaves in
a limestone finish. This proposed
design posed a construction challenge
due to dimensional, weight, and
finish concerns, but was resolved
and made possible through the use of
aluminum panels finished in a custom
print to resemble a textured natural
material. Custom finish was printed
on 3mm thick aluminum sheets using a
customized offset gravure process.
The finished aluminum sheets were
then formed into tapered eave panels.
