GLASS RAINSCREEN CLADDING
Glass rainscreen cladding offers a surprising number of options –reflectivity, colour and form.
Now glass surfaces may be supplemented by state of the art digital printing techniques, offering the opportunity of transferring the digital to the physical.
DESIGNERS
LARA LESMES AND FREDRIK HELLBERG
Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg from Space Popular on ‘The Glass Chain’ and Sto Ventec Glass.
Discover more about the concept and design processes behind ‘The Glass Chain’, a recent body of work by London based architects Space Popular, commissioned and exhibited at Sto Werkstatt.
Lara and Fredrik’s brief was to redefine the limitations of glass as a building material, and their interpretation offered new perspectives on glass in architecture, connecting imagined utopias of early German modernism with virtual reality experiences being designed today.
