Aluminium House / Arhitektid Muru & Pere

The idea was to have two stories of a different kind of building. The concept was born out of the wrist movement when scribbling on paper. The area allowed for building was very long and narrow due to multiple restrictions. We began piling the rooms in one row at one end until we met the border; then we turned the room itself backwards and that is how the building obtained its current form.

Schloss Grafenegg Concert Hall / Architekten Schröder Schulte-Ladbeck

German firm Architekten Schröder Schulte-Ladbeck have completed the Schloss Grafengg concert hall located on the grounds of Grafenegg Castle near Vienna, Austria. After an EU-wide competition, the jury awarded first prize to Architekten Schroder Schulte-Ladbeck’s proposal because of its “visionary and historically sensitive design.” The 1200 person concert hall illustrates the designers’ ”extremely sensitive commitment to the existing buildings and the surrounding grounds.” The new building fits perfectly into the park grounds and is connected to the castle’s existing, heritage-protected, former riding-school buildings by a series of glazed lobbies.

Ficha Screen Panel, Hunter Douglas

Screen Panel is a product of a single skin and has the ability to be drilled according to designs or shapes that the architect can create, which are generated during the process of preparing the panel by computer technology.

A particularly interesting aspect of the material are the possibilities which were used in Casino de Talca. While it is a product of a single skin, and therefore used as a coating, this time a system using 2 screen panels was used to achieve a double skin independent of the building volume.
