Poking Holes in the Box
Duration: 22 minutes
Speaker: Bart Shaw, FAIA
Completed in 2017, Fort Worth Camera has become an instant icon in Fort Worth. The site-cast concrete panels dominate the buildings facade with an unedited, natural concrete finish. 175 conical holes were cast into a 53 foot long, 16 foot high wall, placed just a few feet from the street give the building a singular character. Situated adjacent to Fort Worth’s Museum District with two world famous concrete structures, the building holds its own and is a testament to the craftsman that were part of its formation. The presentation will discuss the drivers leading to the success of the project including the techniques involved in the formwork, casting, erection, and complimentary construction.
