Have you ever had to convince your friends or family that an exposed brick wall can be more interesting than a plastered surface painted white? Or that exposed building systems can offer major advantages when it comes to maintenance? These are recurring scenarios in the professional lives of architects and design firms.
We want to offer our readers the opportunity to share their thoughts on the subject. If we knew the advantages of exposed materials and building systems, or the technical difficulties and challenges they entail, would we change our way of designing? Furthermore, would it change the appearance of the architecture that appeals to us?
