Humaness
One reason I chose to work with Tim Rempel was to gain more experience using materials in a modern building that increase the building’s humanness. For these units detailing is done to create a visual experience of materials that is warm and inviting.
Humanness is also in how a building supports the user. The sun in Berkely, typical of coastal areas, is often crisp and bright but it is combined with an air temperature that is moderate. This encouraged us to create outdoor spaces since they will be used daily throughout the year.
