Arkansas University Media Center wrapped in Terracotta
Dake Wells Architecture
Pure lines of extreme simplicity, as a deliberate contrast with the existing building: the brand new Arkansas University Media Center asserts its obvious contemporaneity, right beside Kimpel Hall, which has itself been renovated at the same time.
The architects had the great idea of covering it with charcoal coloured terracotta, as an allusion to the slate roofing tiles on the buildings nearby. Installed vertically, with regular joints, this Ebony coloured Piterak Slim rainscreen cladding gives a visually striking result! So, like a piece in the construction puzzle, this new space fits in perfectly with also standing out form it. Attracts the eyes without being harsh on it, quite the opposite in fact. Just sublime.
