Envelope Assembly Mock-up Example GFRC SIP

This is an example of some of the process of the mock up project....

I am interested to make an SIP panel with the container wall panel as the one side and thin precast concrete cladding as the other. I predict that using GFRC will be the best way to get a thin but strong and durable cladding. My system must define the material and process of the cladding and the insulating core. It must also define the way the system becomes an structurally integrated panel.

<Insert precedent images and sketch here. Probably Zaha project or Aranda\Lasch Tom Ford store, but also low-tech precast like insulated tilt-up wall. This shows the range of technology in use.>

Some background on architects use of concrete, specifically precast and more specifically GFRC.
Architect's Profile: Zaha Hadid, Concrete Virtuoso.
"Hadid used GFRC in a variety of projects around the world. These include the Capital Hill residence in Moscow, Russia, built in 2008, which has been likened to a spaceship due to its undulating shape and twin towers jutting upward. The project earned “Best Project” at the 16th World GRC Congress. “During the design phase, the architectural team was contemplating natural stone, GFRC, and GFRP [glass-fiberreinforced polymer] for the façade,” says the GFRC provider, Fibrobeton in Istanbul, Turkey. “After seeing the first mock-up, the architect decided the best alternative to put the project into practice was GFRC. This technology made extremely significant contributions to both the designer and the main contractor.”

"The 1000 Museum condominium project in Miami, Fla., currently under
construction, features an exoskeleton of GFRC panels being shipped from Dubai
by a PCI-certified precaster. The design provides a rigid exterior frame that will
be functional and decorative." - PCI article.

What about the insulation core of the SIP system I propose?

Now I would have to draw this idea of mine, list materials, tools and processes (step by step) for my detail project. Since I am not in studio, I don't have time for this at the moment... but I want to do this badly!
