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.

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!
