type B - planes form volumes

| | Comments (0)
after TS meeting today and discussing the usage of insitu concrete, it was said that load would be carried by the steel reinforcement or structure anyway. Concrete is mainly used for compression and the planes are in tension. The situation is that a structural frame is needed yet how structural could its facade panel be? frame vs plane.
Plane needs to look visually continuous.
