ÉCOLE D‘ART DE CALAIS, FRANCE
Architecture firm Arc.Ame chose Escale 7x1 metal mesh with gold-
anodized aluminum spirals for the three-piece, curved sun protection
façade of the art school. The woven, semi-transparent façade ele-
ments allow soft daylight into the east-facing atelier, while at the same
time preventing the building from getting too warm in summer.
During daylight hours, the sunlight lends the façade an illuminated
appearance, while the interior lighting secures views into the rooms
at night.

PLANET M, HANOVER, GERMANY
The Bertelsmann media group presented a very
special pavilion at the Expo 2000 world expo-
sition. The ellipsoidal shape of the seemingly
floating building on stilts was almost com-
pletely three-dimensionally cloaked with flexi-
ble, formable stainless steel Escale mesh from
GKD. This was the first project to successfully
clad a round building of spectacular size in a
visually enclosed mesh façade. A total of 440
linked mesh elements were used to cover the
necessary area of approximately 2.400 m².
Thanks to elaborate backlit illumination and
the transparency of the fabric, the pavilion
appeared to glow as night began to fall.

HILTON AIRPORT HOTEL, FRANKFURT, GERMANY

Some 320 m² of Mandarin bronze metal fabric were used to cover the reception area
at the luxury hotel located directly adjacent to „The Squaire“, a huge office complex
at Frankfurt Airport. Twenty curved mesh panels are fitted above both the reception
area and the lobby bar located opposite, creating two oversize wings. In combination
with impressive lighting, the metal mesh is a real eyecatcher in the sophisticated lobby.

SAMSUNG PARKING GARAGE, SAN JOSE, USA
Metal mesh façade at Samsung‘s new HQ in Silicon Valley. The architects from
NBBJ selected Omega 1520 architectural mesh from GKD for the cladding of
the 3,345 m² façade. The stainless steel mesh was printed by GKD using a spe-
cial color coating process. The graphic design provided by Samsung is remi-
niscent of electrical circuits on PCBs. This symbolizes the company‘s corporate
identity. At the same time, the artistic print appears to blend in seamlessly
and become one with nature in the surrounding area.

TONHALLE, DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY

The concert hall in this famous building proved a real challenge due to its
hemispherical dome. The stainless steel Omega 1540 bronze metal mesh
encases sound deflection elements which direct the sound into the dome.
This enabled the acoustically neutral fabric to make its contribution to
successful optimization of the room acoustics. Its transparency allows light
from small lamps fitted beneath the dome to shine through, which is some-
what reminiscent of the building‘s original use as a planetarium.
