Brown provides a
full synthetic treatment of Tilt Wall construction by laying
out the design opportunities in engaging in the architectural exploration of a
low technology / low cost form of construction. He explains its history,
methodology, and relationship to current architectural approaches to meaning. Brown
writes in a balanced style targeted at both architects and academics that will
also be accessible to non-architects and allied professionals. The title is
richly illustrated in an effort to be useful to the many ancillary professions
such as contractors, developers, and real estate brokers who are driving this
increasingly prevalent approach to “investment” architecture.
