Architectural plaster has had a long history of prefabrication. Ornamentation such as moldings and fixtures have traditionally been cast and profiled remotely from their final site of installation to shorten the time of completion or to control for difficult processes that would be complicated by direct shaping on their substrate. Because of plaster’s inherent capacity to be cast and endlessly replicated, separate and reusable form works allowed precise copying of various ornamental forms.
