MODERN DESIGN: THE 'RIBBON' IN THE NEW LIVING LAB @ MEDIACITY, UK

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2011

Fabric Architecture has recently completed a new internal project at the University of Salford, MediaCity UK.  The ‘Ribbon’ as it is known, is a modern three dimensional iconic sculptural piece of art.  It’s a lightweight tensioned structure which utilises Fabric Architecture’s ArchiClad patented framing system pioneered for Dublin Airport’s new Terminal 2 and featured in Ferrari World, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

 

Despite its large size, the Ribbon appears to float throughout the entrance of the building. Perfect for light reflectivity, wayfinding, and acoustics, the Ribbon is easy to maintain and is catching the attention of all the media visiting the new Living Lab.

 

A case study showcasing this unique project is now available for immediate review and download.

 

This project was featured in the recent edition of Education Design & Build (EDB) Magazine.
