creepy.
well, found a really good resource:
Skin Architecture
seems to be an online version of a book by Ethel Baraona Pohl called Piel.Skin. Buy it!! Buy it!! I get commissions!!! naww.. I don't. I get nothing. Good book nonetheless. Oh and the website is flash driven... so it actually looks like you're turning the pages. Made me giggle with glee.
it covers a broad range of architectural examples and includes our very own (he says, lodged very firmly in Perth) Federation Square, and Carter Tucker House by Sean Godsell.
starts with an interesting quote by Mr. Manuel Gausa:
"Contemporary architecture replaces the idea of facade with that of skin: an exterior layer mediating between the building and its environment"
brother speaks truth.
check it, da screenshots (what are the copyright rules with the PrtScn button, I wonder?):
