Ceramic cladding MUSEUM OF CULTURE, BASLE

panelsmoothdecorative

These tiles for the Museum of Culture in Basle give a good impression of the effects that are possible with architectural ceramics. Singularly unremarkable they develop in their contact with light and this concentrates all their strength. The design comes from the architects, Herzog & de Meuron in Basle/Proplaning AG. In order to support the new roof a special substructure system has been built. The special framework functions with a double-layered composite slab as a static unit. It was, so to say, set up on the existing walls like a new attic floor. This is not visible to the visitors – the complex special frameworks perform their service discreetly under the covering. But it is directly hereby that the project shows the strength of the steel construction, for the realisation of complex, light geometric shapes. The project received special recognition in the course of the PriexAcier 2011. The 3d tiles were produced on behalf of AGROB BUCHTAL.
