Product description
An artist’s vision is brought to life
Unlike traditional lecture halls, the horseshoe-shaped design of this innovative and unique building allows all in the auditorium to see and hear each other, encouraging both speakers and attendees to participate in lectures and debates. This unusual building is encapsulated in a spectacular facade created from over 300 perforated aluminium sheets. The vision of artist Ann Lislegaard was converted into digital format and the intricate design was then transferred on to the metal sheets by means of RMIG ImagePerf.
White Arkitekter has been awarded the prestigious Swedish architectural prize PLÅT18, in recognition of the innovative use of perforated metal.
