Una envolvente

This first volume in the series introduces the joint experience of the architect AssadiPulido and Hunter Douglas in creating and constructing the pavilion for the Architecture Biennale-XVI held in Santiago in November 2008. It exemplifies a productiverelationship between industry construction and architectural design, from prototype development and construction details to the assembly in place with the emergence of a new living space reality. The conventional sequence that puts the design of a product to use in the construction of a project is challenged by examples like this: the particular circumstances of custom trigger the development of a lightweight cladding system as a fabric made with discarded materials. The process started as experimentation for a particular case, then generates a catalog available from a wide range of applications.
