TERRACADE - THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM

摘要

The concept of using terracotta to clad a building is not new and many examples exist throughout cities worldwide. Terracotta is a natural earthy material which has proven its durability over the centuries. As a cladding material terracotta provides natural beauty and aesthetic appeal together with the material's inherent integrity and durability. Combine these properties with the demonstrated benefits of a ventilated facade and you have a system that satisfies four major criteria in clothing the building envelope - sustainability, environmental responsibility, functionality and design modularity.
