Overview

This board frames a school in Japanese Zen terms. Japanese Zen strips the facade back to essentials: calm horizontal composition, disciplined openings, and materials left to age honestly. Silence is the ornament. A deliberate material mix rather than a single cladding: panels, plaster, and metal each take the zone they perform best in. The skill is in the transitions — each change of material is aligned to a reveal or a shadow line so the facade reads composed, not busy.
