Material Pallete




The images above are indicative of the relatively restrained material palette used in the proposed design for the learning center. The use of materials has been limited to concrete, copper, glass and steel. Wherever possible the materials have been used in their 'raw' state to emphasize the existing industrial qualities of the site. Materials such as the copper will progressively age as the green patina begins to establish itself on its surface. The steel will begin to show signs of rust and the raw concrete will chip and and crack over time. This process of change is reflective of the buildings location within a marine environment and crucial in creating a responsive design.
