Structure as Finish Ties It All Together

Structure as Finish Ties It All Together

I always read

EBN all the way through, but I look for the best parts and go to them first. After leafing through the whole magazine, I started on the “Structure as Finish” article (

EBN

Vol. 9, No. 3), thinking at first—“not so interesting.” By the time I was into the third paragraph that idea turned around. It was really about everything I

am interested in about buildings.

I teach both Energy Efficient Design and Alternative Structures at a local Community College, and have taught so many of the ideas you discussed. It was a good summary of those ideas, and so well woven together. I underlined and highlighted all over the piece.

I especially liked the fact that this article deals with the interrelationships within a system. The system approach is hard to get across.

Good stuff—keep ’em coming in

EBN.
