Cadence
Cadence in architecture, as in music, offers various rhythms
Cadence is the repetitive pace of structural elements, details, patterns and materials. It generates the sense of rhythm and composition in a building.
Cadence brings alive the majesty of a space, and the dynamic experience we have as we move through it.
