Mesh panels move on technical school

摘要

Dominique Perrault Architecture specified GKD-USA Inc.'s Escale 7 x 1 anod-ized aluminum mesh with a natural finish to create a 3-D zigzag fagade on Ecole Polytechnique Federate de Lausanrfe in Lausanne, Switzerland. The top three stories on the four-story fagade, which spans the entire building, were clad with 630 horizontally sliding mesh panels, similar to awnings. The center entrance was designed to create a visual break from the elongated structure with three rows of extended, angled panels.
