Living Steel

For its third annual steel housing competition, Living Steel challenged architects to design affordable, energy-efficient housing prototypes for Cherepovets, Russia, where temperatures can climb to 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer and dive as low as -49 degrees Celsius (-56 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter.

Although I like the use of steel beams, columns and joists (as I work with these everyday) I am not sold on a steel exterior. I would use a precast system for the exterior as it is faster, cheaper and stronger. Or maybe if I wanted to get fancy and go for looks I would use a curtain wall system. Non the less Living Steel is a great concept.
