Photos of Peter Eisenman’s DAAP Building Renovation

We’ve written extensively about Peter Eisenman’s University of Cincinnati DAAP building skyrocketing renovation costs, which are now estimated to cost $10 million. An UC alumnus writes in with the following photos of the renovation in progress. You can see in the photos that the surface EIFS Dryvit material is being stripped away to the steel stud or concrete block structure. These photos makes me wonder what a translucent or transparent surface would look like – the structural gymnastics the metal studs are performing are amazing.
