Location: AMSTERDAM (NL)
Starting Date: FEBRUARY 2015 Completion Date: COMPLETED Team+: V. GATSIOU |
Trying to keep the balance between transparency, structural performance and restrictions on planning regulations which requires the new facade to maintain the same rhythm and composition as the existing 19th century buildings in Amsterdam, this project tries to take this to the next level and develop a new era of facades that will achieve maximum transparency. This new, innovative structural system consists of only monolithic solid glass blocks bonded with a colourless, UV treated, adhesive that replaces the conventional clay brickwork.
