Push the Envelop ( Facade Design )
Location: Denver, USA
Designer:Chi Wei Chen
Year: 2018 Cal Poly Pomona ( Technic Facade Course)
Instructor:Dr. Douglas E. Noble

This facade is located in a wonderful nature place. Nature always looks different in different situation. I try to let this facade integrate with the environment and keep changing with the environment around when it is in different time, different weather and different season. But, it’s important to keep the view to this wonderful nature park. In the same time, bring a sun light into deeper place and create a shadow for this facade. Something interesting is that the indoor activity and the outdoor activity will showed in one facade in the same time.
