CULTURE, CLADDING, COMMERCE. Uppsala's landmark concert and congress hall located in the new part of the city, interplays elegantly with its historical surroundings. A vertical opening in the building caters for public access from two sides - from the old historic city and also from the modern Vaksala Square. The roof of the building provides a spec- tacular view over the city. In the words of Klavs Hom Madsen, Architect and Project Manager with Henning Larsen, Architects “The building interacts with the historic skyline of Uppsala and adds a contemporary chapter to the history of the...

TRUE ELEGANCE. The office building Onix in Lille, France benefits from its central position. It combines high visibility with good accessibility. Dominique Perrault Architects have designed the building transom, with its variable depth, as “animated, folded and curling up” so as to use the triangular building plot to optimum advantage. The “modulation” of the body allows for blunt angles for the main entrance and the drive-in entrance to the underground garage, which is located in another structure covered with a “landscaped garden”. The façade in ALUCOBOND® naturAL LINE is made up of four...

The 75,000 m2 Terminal 2 of Dublin Airport was designed by the London office of Pascall + Watson specifically with the needs of travellers in mind. The building, which is very appealing to the eye, uses day light to optimum effect to create really bright and airy rooms, which have both a soothing and relaxing effect. Passenger flow concepts played a key role in the design process resulting in clear and logical travel arrangements. 20 The rounded, flowing shapes of the building were achieved by intelligent use of ALUCOBOND® panels in silver metallic and traffic grey. Taking the local...

BRIGHTLY-COLOURED STUDY. Large format ALUCOBOND® façade elements in two different silver metallic shades and with red highlights were used to face the existing yellowishwhite ceramic wall tiles of the student residence in Dresden, Germany. While retaining the existing window size and positioning, the team of architects at Zimmermann Architek- tengemeinschaft created a sculptural, 3-dimensional façade using overlapping scale-like façade panels laid out in a chess board pattern and varying window reveals. The structural effect of light and shadow is highlighted on the one hand by accentuating...

Matisse, Picasso, Miró, Pollock and Brancusi have already moved in and can be admired in their own new home. Shidgeru Ban says that in designing the idiosyncratic new construction, he was inspired by the “architecture” of traditional Chinese hats woven from rice straw - albeit on a considerably distorted floor plan. The offices, with their large, smooth windows, were accommodated in the angular transoms of Centre Pompidou in Metz, and appear to have been pushed into the hat. These white cubes were highlighted by the flatness of the ALUCOBOND® elements in pure white. The new 10,000- square...
