Design Facades: Rodeca glazing elements for special facades
In co-operation with the famous architectural office Herzog & de Meuron in Basel, Switzerland, a new product-line for a 40 mm panel with 4 walls was created by RODECA which allows for only the inner or outer wall of the panels to have a transparent colour providing for a very interesting 3-dimensional effect designated BI-COLOR.
This technique, for which RODECA has a patent, was applied for the LABAN CENTRE in London and this project was awarded the STIRLING AWARD in October 2003.
Design Possibilities:
- HEATBLOC on the outer wall – reduces up to 60% of the infrared rays
- Clear colour on the outer wall and inner wall in opal-antiblind for example
- Reflecting outer wall with aluminium design and inner wall translucent
- Clear colour on the outer wall and inner wall coloured for 3-dimensional effect
