Reflection on week 9 lecture

This weeks lecture was titled "forensic architecture" and looked into the uses of different materials and construction systems and how they might fail over time. The lecture included some short videos showing the step by step process of a building being made using pre-cast panels and steel frames stacked on top of each other (Hemeroscopium house). Another one was a time lapse video of the new world trade centre being built. Slides of the devastation caused by the Christchurch earthquake were shown.
