NJIT PCI Foundation Studio
Students Present Stunning Precast Designs
The PCI Foundation program at the New Jersey Institute of Technology ended with the final review of seventeen diverse precast designs. Co-sponsored by MAPA and PCI Northeast, the studio design challenge centered on the creation of a hydroponic research facility on a challenging narrow urban site bordered by a transit line and I-95. Led by NJIT Asst. Professor Matt Burgermaster, the students went through an intensive program of learning about precast construction, creating molds and making plaster test pours, and responding to a challenging research facility design program.
The students responded with a stunning variety of cutting-edge precast designs utilizing such techniques as fabric forms, photographic transfer, embedded radiant heating, and translucent concrete.
