The flexible properties of Sambesi allowed HHPA Architects at UCLA to create a multi functional metal fabric curved wall that reaches high to the upper level, finishing as a ballustrade for the railing system. The tensioned fabric gently defines the large area on the ground floor while keeping the outside light flowing to the interior. From inside, views are unimpaired. The addition of copper shimmer helps to keep the appearance of the fabric in an ever changing mode. Read here:http://bit.ly/lkY3hx

Set near the Houhai Street of Shenzhen Bay, the Shenzhen Poly Grand Theatre, designed by Shenzhen Huazhu Engineering Design Co., Ltd., is a landmark building. The building’s sleek design evokes a piece of high-tech equipment, or perhaps a drop of water. Viewed from above, its silver contour gleams under the sunlight, reflecting its surroundings in the Luxalon® 20mm Quadro Cladding Panels and 2.5mm custom aluminum panels provided by Hunter Douglas.

It is also a great looking material. The millions of Yankee fans that pass by each year take note that only the best will do. Designed by HOK-SVE.

The metallic curtain walls at this parking garage conceal the inside while allowing pedestrians to engage with their surroundings.

Part of the design emphasis in the new Yankee stadium is the openness. A custom version of GKD Tigris stainless steel metal fabric was employed at balcony and platform levels of the Great Hall, the transition and activity location between entrances and the field. The transparency allows visual access through to the field, keeping fans in touch with the action from just about anywhere. At the same time, the fabric provides both a safety and a security role.
