August L&L - Yakima: Resin Cast Shapes

{"version":"0.3.0","atoms":[],"cards":[],"markups":[],"sections":[[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Designers,\n owners, and occupants all value the appeal of natural brick and wood \nfor exterior cladding and interior surfaces. But these natural materials\n come with drawbacks. Wood can split, warp, cup, mold, and attract \ninsects. Brick is heavy and susceptible to efflorescence. Quality \ncontrol is not assured. The fresh alternative is resin cast shapes that \nmimic wood and brick, delivering the benefits of biophilia and a sense \nof connection with the natural world, but without the problems. This \ncourse examines the wood and brick aesthetic of resin cast shapes and \ndemonstrates their sustainability and performance qualities. They are \ndurable, lightweight, easy to install, and contribute to a continuous \nbuilding envelope. Case studies of noteworthy projects illustrate the \nsuperior form and function of this next-level cladding alternative."]]]]}
