Falmouth School UK: David Pierce of architects Urban Salon explained We wanted the building to appear as a series of folded planes, with the walls and roof clad in the same material. It was crucial that the product we specified worked as well on both surfaces, and using Anthra Zinc meant that we didn’t need to compromise on this.

An out of the box design and sophisticated engineering presented us with opportunities to expand the possibilities with Prodema  ProdEX. We collaborated with the engineers behind the Community Boathouse project to bring solutions never used before. The School is also located in the City of Chicago where we find some of the strictest Fire Codes in the country. Both exterior and interior Prodema materials were used.

The German Museum of History (DHM) in Berlin uses Clearsorber foil in its courtyard. Clearsorber foil is a thin perforated foil that can be used for acoustics. In this specific project the designer build a glass ceiling to make the courtyard an interior space. The space was to be used for concerts and events. After inclosing the courtyard it turned out to have horrible acoustics. The solution was to install Clearsorber foil in front of the ceiling. It helps improve the acoustics but still keeps the design intent.

Are you looking for a way to make your swimming pool or spa area more interesting? Check out the following projects using Clipso technical fabrics with digital print on walls and/or ceilings of swimming pools. The technical fabric comes in an antibacterial finish so no need to worry about mold, in combination with an acoustical backing it can also improve the acoustics in the space.

The Walbrook Building in central London is an ultra-modern office building, which appears impressive, even when viewed from above, thanks to a Roof Screening solution from Levolux.Designed by world-leading architects at Foster + Partners, the Walbrook Building occupies one of the largest sites in the central City area, providing almost 40,000 sq ft (4,000 m2) of retail space and more than 380,000 sq ft (35,000 m2) of office space, arranged over 10 floors.Located in a historic part of London, the Walbrook Building, completed in 2010, is a landmark development which overlooks St Paul’s Cathedral to the west. read here:http://bit.ly/pHrePx

The University of Cincinnati’s new Center for Academic and Research Excellence, known as the CARE/Crawley Building, is helping the University expand new frontiers in medical science. This massive addition and renovation project supports collaborative learning and stimulates a sense of community among its researchers, students and clinicians. The Architect of Record is:Harley Ellis Devereauxwww.hedev.com

Check out the private residence in Denmark. The project is clad in standing seam panels made from Anthra Zinc. Unfortunately I was not able to find out who the architect is.

The Arctura water tower holds 6.8 million gallons of boiling water that is used to heat homes in the surrounding region. The 215 foot high structure, wrapped in an almond-shaped curtain of stainless steel, stands on a hill above the local ski station of Östersund, which already makes it a landmark for the area. A restaurant with this spectacular view has been installed on top of the tower. Lighting experts LjusDesign were engaged to design the tower’s illumination. This light design, which is projected onto the metal fabric by means of LED fixtures, was inspired by Arcturus, the ‘provincial star’ of Jämtland and one of the brightest stars in the northern hemisphere. The lighting program adheres to astronomical time. During the long winter nights, the tower mimics the ‘northern lights’ display until about an hour before sunrise when it burns steadily. This ‘sunrise’ effect lasts for about an hour after the real sun has risen. Designed by Sweco FFNS. The project is located in Östersund, Sweden.

This is the Cemex Computer Center in Monterrey,Mexico and was designed by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners. Sambesi stainless steel metal fabric adds to the tech look of this computer center at Mexico’s Cemex Corporation. The ceiling panels s are gently draped over a distance and are attached with eye bolts and woven in bars. Large columns were wrapped in the Sambesi fabric, too.
