The Tectonic Grain - Nader Teherani Technion Lecture Architecture

The Tectonic Grain by Nader Teherani - Morley Blankstein Visiting Lectureship in Architecture and Town Planning at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology The work of Architecture is almost always the result of a negotiation between the actuality of material realities and the ancillary contingencies that are part of a more complex assembly which often cannot corroborate the clarity of a material message. The play of tectonics is, thus, often the result of giving bias to a conceptual grain-- sometimes an idea, other times a structural or surficial phenomenon. The reconciliation of the real and perceptual plays of these phenomena form a key part of architectural work; this talk will explore the complex layering of architectural narratives that make up the tectonic grain of various buildings.
