AntiStatics-2024-2
北京
A commercial facade precedent utilizing a draped, perforated metal screen with parametric undulating folds to transform a flat urban corner into an expressive, textured entry threshold.
- What we like about this project
- The rigid metal sheet is pleated and perforated in such a way that it appears to drape like soft fabric over the building's curved corner.

- Geometry
- A sweeping, convex curved corner volume wraps around a central glass revolving door, enveloped by a double-layered perforated metal screen system that creates a vertical undulating wave pattern.
- Facade system
- Perforated metal double-skin screen with undulating vertical pleats over a glazed base building.
- Structural guess
- Steel hanging frame or outrigger brackets supporting the curved perforated metal screen panels outside the main building structure.
- Spatial scale
- Large commercial multi-story facade with a human-scaled revolving door entry at street level.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight from the right illuminates the textured white screen, creating deep shadows within the undulating perforations; recessed downlights punctuate the polished curved overhang.
- Atmosphere
- Dynamic, luminous, and futuristic, defined by the interplay of light and patterned metallic drapery.
- Environmental context
- Urban street corner with pedestrian paving, street trees, and surrounding high-rise buildings.
- Spatial experience
- The sweeping metallic curtain creates a monumental yet porous threshold between the urban sidewalk and the recessed commercial entry.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical folds in the perforated screen repeat across the curved radius, creating a rippling textile-like rhythm.
