This session delves deep into the psychological and aesthetic dimensions of texture, offering you a richer understanding of how texture shapes our experience of buildings.
The CPD begins by exploring the foundations of texture in nature: how organic systems influence our perception and emotional response to surface and form. It then traces key moments in architectural history where texture played a defining role; highlighting milestones that continue to influence contemporary practice.
Building on this context, the presentation turns to current innovations in facade design, showcasing how modern materials and techniques are transforming the way we think about surface, light, and shadow. Mike Lee brings his extensive knowledge of the facade systems to offer insights into how you can creatively harness texture to enrich your designs.
This session will not only expand your conceptual framework but also provide practical ideas for applying textured materials - particularly in facade treatments - in ways that are both aesthetically compelling and contextually responsive.
Ideal for architects, designers, and specifiers looking to deepen their design vocabulary, this CPD encourages a bold and nuanced approach to texture in the built environment.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and inspiration for your future projects.
