Ever Dry protects most any material The product can be applied with a spray gun and finishes up to a translucent white sheen. Both employ montage, text and translucent materials in order to de-emphasize formal boundaries; and perhaps most innovative of all, both promote programmatic instability in order to counteract architectural rigidity. A single coating is reported to . In the early 1990s, Lúcia Koch began making temporary interventions in domestic spaces, a practice that she would later extend into art institutions. Let's begin with one of the durable descriptors of the era. The coating is "super-hydrophobic" and "oleophobic," meaning it repels almost any liquid on a wide range of materials, including – but not limited to – hammers to boots and gloves as you'll see in the following video demonstration. It is time to wake up and stop this practice. That same decade, she worked as a member of the collective Arte Construtora, which Koch explores the ambient light of spaces, covering facades, skylights and windows with perforated surfaces, translucent materials and cinematographic filters. From our contemporary perspective, it is thus worth asking: What is Koolhaas's legacy vis-à-vis progressive practice? The second perspective concerns the inherent challenge to the material practices of architecture that result from working with responsiveness. The material performance of the fabric is further detailed through laser cut patterns that locally changes the translucency, weight and draping of the membrane. The armature is clad with a translucent organza fabric pattern cut to vary in density as it folds. Architecture has traditionally been cast within .
