Timo Carl presents alternatives to curtain wall facades and other flat boundaries creating
autonomous spaces. He investigates facade typologies with multiple material layers to
strategize the relationship between buildings and their environment. By revisiting Le
Corbusier¿s seminal brise soleil an alternative reading of the modern project emerges: one that
is not based on classical compositional rules but instead on the dynamic relationships with
environmental forces. Finally an exciting series of project-based investigations sets out
innovative ways in which novel deep skins combine energy-conscious performance with the poetics
of architecture.
