Block 19 does not decorate the city. We specify mass where people gather: halls, stairs, lintels, the slab under a public argument. Peel-off architecture is not a building.
- 01Weight is a civic duty. Lightness is a private excuse.
- 02Pour the floor thick enough for a crowd that disagrees.
- 03Concrete remembers the formwork. So should the plan.
- 04A public stair is a law you can climb. Do not slim it.
- 05Glass without mass is weather with a logo. Give the hall a spine.
- 06Specify the heavy member. The city is tired of costumes.
