Buildings with complementary materials?

azt13h

Hello archinect,

I was wondering if there are examples of buildings with seperate, interconnected volumes that utilise unique materials for each volume?

could you rephrase using more vague and unhelpful terms? Side note, when’s your homework due?

Are there examples of buildings without separate, interconnected spaces? Are there buildings that don't use unique materials in each volume? I'd propose that nearly every building in existence could be examples for your homework.

Here's the first building that came to mind when reading the OP.

Good luck with your homework.

natematt, clearly you've never actually been inside that monstrosity. It's awful. But you do you.

The rom looked good while under construction. Finished product leaves me very disappointed. Interior is dis functional with little of the drama the exterior volumes suggest.

Danny Liebeskind is an Exterior Designer. In a Danny building the program and users inside are always sacrificed as collateral damage in the service of the exterior.

I'm just sorry Danny hasn't used his worldwide fame and influence to bring the practice of Exterior Design to the forefront of the building industry and cultural discourse.

There are no walls at 90 degrees to the floor in the addition. I visited a few months ago (and have been to the ROM many times, I lived within walking distance for about 5 years) and it's offensive. I took a few photos because I couldn't believe my eyes, how bad the interior details are.

Did I say it was a good design? Was that the question?

IDK...but the last time I was at the ROM I was 12 and 12 year old me LOVED it. They had King Tuts exhibit going on and I was in awe. Not to age myself, but that was before the expansion.

I’ve never had a material compliment me. Bastards.

Could be worse. Materials just insult me. I wish they'd just leave me alone.

Nope. Not at all. I'm being completely serious. I rarely follow the architectural world or firms. It's one of the reasons I joined this site.

Look at you all with you exposure to architectural projects.  I'm just sitting here like:  'well time to google'
