Production Technology

Low Iron Glass Perforated Aluminum Cladding

Project Duration

Design Date: 03/2020 – 07/2020 Construction Date: 07/2020 – 10/2020 Location: Ankang, Shaanxi, China

Inspiration

The new Ankang Library adopts a modern curtain wall system, forming a concise massing and pure colour. The transparent glazing combined with the delicate perforated aluminum cladding create an effect akin to a halo. When the two buildings are seen with the vibrant and disordered old city, the following strong contrast brings unexpected drama and contrast. Forty years of passed time are visible with these two urban realms, like a surreal space-time dislocation.
