The Project
1277 bespoke VARIO shutters were fabricated and delivered to the site
Black architectural concrete shapes the unusual geometry of the museum
Wall 18, one of the structure’s most twisted walls, merges with walls 17 and 2. Metal fixings are hanger brackets for precast concrete cladding
All window openings required a bespoke design and fabricated boxout panel
Each timber formbox is produced from CNC cut cleats that are assembled into a chipboard grillage. Once erected on site, they are supported by SLS spindles and MULTIPROP shoring
