The project involves the cladding with panels up to 6 meters long, consisting of a single piece of stretched metal. the mesh is shaped to form waves of different widths and depths, while ensuring transparency and shading. The panels are self-supporting, have a profile welded to the expanded metal and provide anchoring to each inter-floor on specific brackets. each floor is also equipped with a maintenance walkway made of expanded metal that, respecting the statutory loads, guarantees maximum transparency and a reduced visual impact. metalltech has provided structural calculations, wind tunnel tests, fatigue tests for structural vibrations, transmittance and reflectivity for energy saving calculations.
