Such topics cast the ongoing discourse around architectural form in a new light. One that considers disciplinary motivations and references, and looks at a broad set of economic, societal, and environmental inputs to inform how architecture is devised, constructed, and critiqued. Indeed, the urgency of these external considerations is present in much more than just the form itself. It informs the internal structure, organization, and content of built work. Within that context, many of the articles in this issue of TAD offer an agenda largely driven by the performative nature of physical and societal constraints. This connection is evident in the contribution by Mahan Motalebi and Marcus Shaffer, studying the symbiotic exchange in traditional pigeon tower construction to propose a process of salt-induced decay in earthen blocks. The authors develop a workflow that embraces the chemical limitations of the material to envision a new syntax of temporal tectonics. A related interest in the tectonics of environmental drivers is present in Iman Fayyad’s research into structural surfaces formed from rectangular sheets of flexible material. Motivated by the objective of eliminating by-product waste, the author develops a set of incision and folding operations to create self-supporting surfaces that utilize entire material sheets. This process is demonstrated on a shading structure that simultaneously promotes both material economy and expressive tectonics. Performance as an aesthetic design driver is the focus of the contribution by Niloufar Emami. The author proposes a workflow that utilizes topology optimization, not to resolve a design problem with predefined boundary conditions, but to generate a series of possible design directions with an application domain to fabricate precast concrete tiles. The outcome is at once characterized by a clear structural logic and guided by the visual exuberance of the resulting patterns. Another paper in this issue is “Synergistic Optimization of Timber Structures and Space” by Johannes van der Wielen and Hans-Christian Wilhelm. The authors use the concept to discuss how to synergize structural material efficiency and design for circularity at the initial design phases. The research examines the material reduction ability of linear, large-scale, and mixed-use structural timber buildings. The study shows that computational tectonics can promote more meaningful and precise comparisons between design decisions and solutions, thus helping various parties involved in the process to make informed decisions.

Fabric formwork hung by expandable elastics also reduced cracking, allowing material shrinkage at form ties. Poured earth without Portland cement stabilization can create non-structural wall forms with less transportation of material to the site and less overall use of Portland cement.

A positive of this new expansive approach is the platforming of new authors who draw from underrepresented legacies and social identities. This essay utilizes the tectonics of the American porch and watervulnerable landscapes to illuminate issues of economics, space, and race to critically examine the collision of architecture and identity, specifically social identity and authorship. While many architectural theorists have offered conflicting views on defining tectonics, Kenneth Frampton’s definition is most closely associated with cultural influences, and thus will be the point of departure to be dissected further.3 Frampton loosely explains tectonics in his text Studies in Tectonic Culture. The critical message is that Frampton removed the purely scientific reading of architectural construction, adding an artistic dimension that would become an exciting read of the interaction between architecture’s critical elements in mass, details, joint, material, construction, and structure.4 Notably missing from this catalog was the author’s agency as author. Far too often is the material evidence of man absent during discussion of architectural tectonics. However, one could argue the impossibility of one without the other. Frampton, like many others, centers on Western European ideologies when articulating the legacy of tectonics.

The façade structure’s aging is studied in detail to minimize the maintenance costs, and special attention was paid to details so that singular lamellas can be replaced easily. The building is situated in Hernesaari, a former industrial area developed into a new residential area. The plot is part of the narrow Helsinki coastal park connecting the capital city to the sea. The sauna is a free-form faceted construction, more like an artificial landform in the park than a conventional building (Figure 1). Now that the wooden building has turned gray, it looks like one of the rocks on the shoreline. The architectural idea is simple: there is a rectangular black box containing all the warm spaces covered with a free-form wooden “cloak” that provides people inside with visual privacy (Figure 2). It shades the interior spaces with large glass surfaces and reduces the use of energy to cool the building. The construction forms a big outdoor auditorium to watch the activities on the sea (Figure 2). The form finding of the building was done low-tech without using any advanced parametric software. The steel structural designer SS-Teracon Ltd. did the geometry’s final detailed model with the Tekla Structures program (Figure 3). As the structure is situated right next to and extends into the sea, Avanto Architects decided to make the load-bearing structures of the cloak from durable galvanized steel and use wood only for cladding (Figure 4). Using steel also made the design of joints easier, as there are points in the shell where beams from eight angles collide at one point (Figure 5).
