The theme of this issue of Tilt-Up hoy<\/em> is architecture. This is entirely appropriate since we have introduced a totally revamped edition of La arquitectura del sistema Tilt-Up<\/em> with a new layout, new photos, and an entirely new look. Just off the printing press, this publication provides an excellent tool for members to \u201csell\u201d architects and owners on the limitless possibilities of Tilt-Up. Concrete has been a favorite material of builders and architects for centuries and that preference is still applicable today.<\/p>\n

The book emphasizes what I have always felt are two divergent paths Tilt-Up has taken as a construction medium. First is the replication of historic styles, motifs, and materials using products such as thin brick, EIFS and form liners. The look and feel using these products is popular with developers and some architects. and has allowed Tilt-Up to be used\u00a0in historic areas and other locations where masonry or smaller scale buildings are desirable such as schools, shopping centers and small office complexes. The manual has many examples of this approach to design.<\/p>\n

The true legacy of Tilt-Up, from an architect\u2019s perspective, is the use of Tilt-Up concrete to construct shapes, forms, and textures that simply cannot be done (at least economically) with any other building medium. I marvel when traveling around the country\u00a0to see a truly unique building that is obviously Tilt-Up, not because of the size of the panel or building, but because of the form, texture or construction methodology that was employed. Forms such as circular\u00a0or irregular openings; shapes such\u00a0as curved panels walls with curved caps; walls that are interlocking or overlapping; unusually jointed panels; textures imparted from logos, unusual materials; overlapping and varied height panels; sloping and projecting panels; the list goes on and on and is added to each year.<\/p>\n

\n

The Tilt-Up Awards Program, now in its 21st year, provides recognition of these achievements and has helped bring these projects to our attention and make them known to others around the world. La arquitectura del sistema Tilt-Up<\/em> documents the growth of Tilt-Up from an aesthetic viewpoint.<\/p>\n

The possibilities of Tilt-Up are limited only by the imagination of the designer and the craftsmanship of the carpenter. The more architects are aware of the potential and the economy of Tilt-Up construction, the faster the concept will grow.<\/p>\n

As part of the \u201carchitecture\u201d theme, TCA will totally rework the architects power point presentations using the format, flow, and materials presented in the new La arquitectura del sistema Tilt-Up<\/em> manual. The presentation will be an excellent companion piece to the manual when members are presenting box lunches and seminars. We will have twenty minute, one-hour and two-hour versions of the program to fit a variety of presentation needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
