Brick Panels | Psychiatric Center by Huggenbergerfries Architekten

Psychiatric Center by Huggenbergerfries Architekten
Pfafers, Switzerland;

The example of the Psychiatric Center in Pfafers is an interesting example of the combination of typically wet construction systems (brick façade) with prefabrication, which guarantees more precision and better working conditions. It is not so much about industralization, especially in the production process since the bricks were placed manually one after the other. Despite this, great optimization was thought in order to obtain panels with different textures.
