"Sharing Layers "
Brand, S., 1997. Shearing
Layers, in How buildings learn : what happens after they’re built,
London: Phoenix Illustrated. pp12-23
+ It was interesting idea that what will become of our buildings once they were used for the purpose that we intended them for.
+ A building conceived as several layers of longevity of built components
a. Site : geographical setting, the urban location (site is eternal)
b. Structure : foundation and load-bearing elements (change is perilous and expensive so rarely attempted)
c. Skin : exterior surfaces and external cladding (change often due to improved materials, technology)
d. Services : the working parts of the building ( when change is needed outdated, systems need accessible)
e. Space paln : the interior layout of walls, ceilings, floors, apertures (can be changed with relative ease)
f. Stuff ; furniture and decoration ( easily and often changed)
+ Longevity of building is often determined by how they absorb new services technology.
