Those elements were rendered in wood and zinc from RHEINZINK.

The Winn Science Center at St. Mark’s School of Texas has become a signpost of the high quality of the new and upgraded buildings, with its classic copper roof and dome serving as signature design elements for the upscale campus – and they’ve also proved to be models of survivability in the face of severe weather.

For its design of a new parking structure at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects wanted to use architectural metal mesh as an exterior cladding material.

The selected system features Cambridge's Scale pattern mesh attached in tension with custom Eclipse hardware. The Scale pattern features a 62% open area while providing the security, safety and visibility design team members wanted.
