Zibaldone 4


What is my place in the world? What am I doing?  I’ve been doing this job for a few years and I love every second of it. How important am I you ask? I’m just extruded aluminum so what makes me different than foil you find in your kitchen. I am a part to a whole, the crème of the crop. I separate and bond. I make a curtain wall seem as one. I span vertically joining the ground and the sky. I hide the column behind but mimic its properties. I appear to hold up an entire wall but you could say I’m also a liar. I'm truthful in material but not in structure.

You may think my job is lackluster but in fact I make a building whole. My full effect is only experience from the exterior.

I am a façade detail.
