I am increasingly of the opinion that buildings are simple, the builders and subsequent occupants are complex. Sprayed SPF framing looks like crap after a few months when every airborne particle sticks to the rough framing – great habitat for spiders. And then the settling, drying, cracks, splits, sap pockets oozing... personally I don’t mind the look having developed many urban ‘loft’ buildings (typically with sprinklers). As for allergen free I don’t really get that given the allergen depository and that the framing can be a contact sensitizer on its own – not to mention the overpainting that is required to render the structure neutral.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>So at some point some owner will ‘improve’ and drywall the interior and possibly they will add insulation and then what does the envelope consist of? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Building design as a cultural aesthetic at this point is actually engineering in the sense that it is an arrangement of either pre-engineered components or as in the case of custom building – the custom arrangement of pre-engineered solutions.
