Iron Maiden & the Silver Bullet lecture in Belgium

21.04.2009

Architectural metal: it shines, shimmers, titilates and decorates. Simultaeneously suggestive, sensual and strong. It allows itself to be melted, folded, cut, perforated and coloured. It doesn't make excuses for itself, it exudes confidence, reliability and respectability. Now more than ever we celebrate the rediscovery of the ornamental using new techniques. But are they really new? Abbink x De Haas architectures plays with expression, story-telling and imagination in the pragmatic world of building & budget; realizing SENSE-ible architecture that is both useful and logical as well as sensory and meaningful.
Angie Abbink & Micha de Haas will be giving a lecture on metal for architects@work in Kortrijk on the 8th of may and Liege on the 5th of june.
