What happens when one material can move from sculptural interiors to high-performance facades and complex architectural forms?
In this episode of @TheDialoguesDesignDirectory's Materials & Technologies series, Architect Sanjay Puri explains the potential of engineered FEFS foam/foam concrete and how it can help architects achieve complex design ideas.
From the Aatma Manthan Museum in Udaipur, where FEFS foam was used to create a seamless, homogeneous interior, to the Mahima Magnus office building in Jaipur, where it was used for large-scale shading screens, and Celio in Nagpur, where curved screens help with heat gain and privacy, the material takes on very different roles across projects.
The video explores:
• Its use in curved and complex architectural forms
• How the material can be used for large facade screens
• How one material can work across different architectural typologies
• The use of recycled materials in its manufacturing and its sustainability
• Its role in reducing heat gain and air-conditioning costs
The FEFS foam used across these projects is by Flexstone, as discussed in the video.
