Did you ever hear about this:
Peter Lynch, the head of architecture dept. Cranbrook Inst.
"If our work as architects making things is really catalytic, and the visible part is only five percent of the actual making, then we can look at that five percent and trace a kind of history, a micro-history, tracing some path, some fragment, some thought through this lineage," he said. Lynch discussed three micro-historical themes in his own work: dry-laid precast masonry; lamella structures; and bamboo. In a project in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Lynch explored dry-laid masonry work as a way to combine professional and local labor. Constructors would put up precast concrete elements, and people from the neighborhood would infill them with bricks. "In a fully industrialized economy," he said, "this would be absurd-one operation would be cheaper than two, but we are closer to third world than some of us realize. A community like Bushwick would stand to gain from having locally trained people work on the project, in spite of the slightly higher costs." For an art museum in Tallinn, Estonia, where the sunlight's angle incidence is always low, Lynch designed an interior vault of lightly sandblasted glass, which hangs from a wooden lamella structure that creates a deep texture of shadows on the vault and within the space. Speaking of bamboo, he said, "I don't think you could find a more pure problem than the structural or tectonic problems of building in bamboo. It has tremendous capabilities, but it's very temperamental." Lynch has been experimenting with a push-pull bamboo connection system that relies on the tension established between two support plates by a rubber connector, and has explored the possibilities of grid shell structures in a series of "muffin domes" formed by heat-casting young bamboo.
