Metal skins
In architecture metal has traditionally been associated with structural
properties, with strength, large spans and great heights. Recent decades
have seen the development of a new and different approach to the use
of metal. Instead of being confined to robust loadbearing structures
for utilitarian buildings, steel, aluminium and iron are starting to
be used in facades and interiors, including in homes. These are designs
which highlight metal’s ‘softer’ side in subtly worked
skins and stylish textiles.
