About Render: Designing and Realising Surfaces

The potential of plaster

This book shows that the potential of render goes far
beyond current application practice and the wide range of design options
plastering offers for the planning and implementation of building
facades. Using photos, detailed drawings, and facade cuts on a scale of
1:20, the publication documents 18 buildings using new and traditional
plastering techniques. Featuring interviews with experts in architecture
and craftsmanship, who share their insights into render from production
to application. They also relate the history of rough renders and the
complex interplay between render and paint. In addition, ten recipes and
an illustrated glossary offer a practical guide to produce an array of
renders, including lime marsh and scratch render.
