New Vernacular


The new architectural vernacular has evolved through the need to shade windows.  Corrugated metal and sun fins abound on new buildings, and that's not a bad thing.

Some will age better than others, and it will be interesting to see what becomes of all these bits in a few years when the ravages of salt and sunshine take their toll.  Will they simply be removed to save maintenance costs, leaving bland facades exposed to heat and view?
