BOUT-DOC Mini Conference - (inter)national facade - 28-05-09

Our homework/some questions:
• …….
• What is an international façade?
• What are historically typical Dutch facades?
• What makes Dutch façade special today?
• What are Dutch facades internationally known for?
• What determines this specialism? Is it the culture, climate,….?
• Who determines this specialism? (building industry, architects, clients, media like television, internet?)
• Should we educate for the national or the international market?
• Can you create a Dutch national façade when you are not Dutch?
• ………


Example:
(inter)national façade  specialism & complexity

- Expertise
- Level of complexity
- Quality
- Skills
- Capacity
- Status
- Communication
-Transport
- Economy
- Supply and demand
-Etc.


EPS (Sto; GE)

Sand-lime brick (Xella, GE)

Example:
(inter)national façade  material & products Stucco (Sto, GE)

- Geographic scale
- Supply and demand
- Quality Pinewood frame (FI, S)
- Esthetics
- Tradition
- Knowledge Insulating glazing (SGG, Fr)
- Etc.
Aluminium frame (Reynaers, BE)
Windowsill (Marble, TU)


Example:
(inter)national façade  indentity, tradition & history

- Scale
- Tradition
- Local materials
- Globalization
- Communication
- Internet & media
- Identity
- Transport
- Status
- New functions
- Etc.


supply and demand,
esthetics, knowledge,
tradition,
geographic scale,
expertise, level of
complexity, economy,
Why national or international façade?: skills, status,
globalisation,
transport, communication,
internet, network
of skills and
capacities,etc.

My opinion:
(Almost) every façade is western society is international,
depending on scale level and point of view.

Interesting question is: what are the mechanisms
responsible for this international context?


supply and demand,
esthetics, knowledge,
tradition,
geographic scale,
expertise, level of
complexity, economy,
Why (international) façade program?: skills, status,
globalisation,
transport, communication,
internet, network
of skills and
capacities,etc.
