Last night my partner and I went to a lecture about Swiss
architecture. We saw a slide of a library in a small town in
Switzerland that was decorated on the outside with photographs. The
photographs were somehow embedded in or printed onto concrete! there
was no question and answer period after the lecture so we couldn't
find out how this was done. We thought it might be a relief
sculpture, as it were, perhaps made by a process like photogravure
where the forms of the concrete had been treated with a photopolymer
emulsion like on Solarplate, so that the concrete retained the
impression of the photograph. Also we thought it might have been
done with Liquid Light, but would Liquid Light be able to withstand
weathering outside?
If anybody knows anything about this process or this building, we'd
be interested.
