The material is to create delicate elegant façade and, at the same time, being sunshade for the glass panel behind.
The expanded metal itself has delicate pattern while it is not rigid surface. In this project, the expanded is vertically folded to, not only increase the strength of material, but also create the depth within the linear façade. By applying 2 shades of color, copper and silver, on each of the folding planes, it creates the illusion of light, colors and pattern when one passes by and when the angle of sunlight is change.
When looking closely through the folding planes against the sun, one can see the color of copper and silver mixed under the sunlight. It creates the new color in every different angle view.
