Advanced Concepts/examples
On this larger building three veneers are used. A smooth veneer is used where signs will appear and also where I wanted to put some pipes and vents. Clapboard covers the main part of the structure and a cinderblock veneer for the foundation. The lower right corner is stepped because there will be a grade at that end. On larger buildings, veneers can butt together without concern for structural strength. (The foam core does that). Vertical joints can be hidden with downspouts, fire escapes, or other industrial appendages. Horizontal joints can be hidden with ledges too.
