How Buildings Learn Part Six - Shearing Layers

In the final instalment of How Buildings Learn, Brand talks about how buildings live in time and the pressures that they undergo. The layers are perpertually changing; outer shell, framework and the inner shell all exist in a relationship that runs in different time scales, so they "rub" against each other as they pass through time together.  And as Brand says, buildings that last do so because they are loved and able to be refined and their architect is time.
