The monolithic appearance conveying security and authority of this government institution is made possible with panels of woven mesh suspended in front of the facade. From inside, visibility remains intact through the metal fabric. read here:http://bit.ly/kIaPwo

Check out the Time Warner Cable office Minnetonka, Minnesota done by Walsh Bishop Architects. The design of this facility focuses on creating community and a workplace that enhances employee quality of life. Although expecting a 20 percent employee loss with the move, the client saw less than one percent of employees choose not to relocate to the new campus headquarters Walsh Bishop Website:http://bit.ly/mGu4Rs

A VM Zinc Plus standing seam, compact roof build-up has been used for the rooftop extension at the 5-star Four Seasons Hotel in Park Lane, replacing the old flat roof.

One can only imagine the competition among students to secure one of the six “quiet rooms” at the library of the University of Gdansk, Poland. These innovative pods appear to be docked to the building’s futuristic façade, and serve as literal “escape capsules” that allow students and researchers to work in peace. The pods are but one of the features envisioned by ARCHICO Projekt architects to give their building a “tech” aesthetic.

Soo Colorado, even the NYC Port authority now owns a GKD Mediamesh and we don’t? I think it is about time that we step a little and show them right? Right?? See Audio Video here: http://www.gkdmediamesh.com/

Check out this Salvation Army project in New York NY, using GKD OMEGA 1520. The Mesh beautifully captures light and adds an elegant backdrop to this small auditorium designed for the Salvation Army. A remarkable transition. Architect: Hillier Architecture

Check out this student housing done in Barcelona Spain. The Architect, MAP, had chosen VM ZINC to clad the façade with a 1” standing seam panel. Personally I’m on the fence about this project and not sure if I like it or not. What do you think?

Dublin Airport’s new 75,000m2 Terminal 2 building is visually striking and extremely energy efficient, thanks in part to an impressive installation of Louvres, courtesy of Levolux.Designed by a team consisting of Pascall + Watson architects, Arup and Mace, Terminal 2 has an attractive curved facade and creates an exciting new gateway to Ireland. The 3-storey terminal building is capable of handling 15 million passengers each year, with 54 check-in desks, 40 shops and 19 new aircraft parking stands.

Check out this Train station in Wuhan China. The Architect, China Railway Siyuan Survey and Design Group, had chosen aluminum honeycomb panels for their absolute flatness. There are several advantages of honeycomb over ACM. One of them is that there is no Oil canning. Another one is its instant and 100% recyclability since it is made entirely out of aluminum. Hunter Douglas provided the panels. If you want to see the difference, check out the fourth picture (different project) in this post
