Frampton explains tectonic as the art of construction being raised from the ground. Also, it referred to the materials and strategies when approaching construction sites. Scenographic is the design and construction of a stage or area with many people. These are clearly different words. Back in 2003 in Milwaukee the first site that comes to mind for tectonic is the Calatrava "Bries de solei." The way it was constructed was beautiful, starting with the pylon and then actual museum structure. Then lastly the wings that move up and down shading the interior space.
