 Timo Carl presents alternatives to curtain wall facades and other flat boundaries creating autonomous spaces. He investigates facade typologies with multiple material layers to strategize the relationship between buildings and their environment. By revisiting Le Corbusier´s seminal brise soleil an alternative reading of the modern project emerges: one that is not based on classical compositional rules, but instead on the dynamic relationships with environmental forces. Finally, an exciting series of project-based investigations sets out innovative ways in which novel deep skins combine energy-conscious performance with the poetics of architecture. Contents Ecologies of Skin and Depth in Architecture From Modernist Skins to Atmospheres Le Corbusier and the Sun Ecologies of Encounter - Project-based Investigations Target Groups Lecturers and students in the field of architecture Architects and Practitioners in the field of ecological construction The Author Timo Carl is an architect and Assistant Professor at the Department of Experimental Design and Construction at the University of Kassel, Germany. His research interest includes the symbiosis of ecology and aesthetics in architecture. His work has been internationally exhibited and part of this research was honoured with the prestigious ´Blauer Kompass´ award of the German Federal Environmental Agency.
