OFFICES AND RETAIL BUILDING
The main feature of the Sir Norman Foster building is the metallic louvre façade which wraps itself around the entire building. An in depth research was effected to ascertain the best technique for manufacturing the louvers. The  appropriate solution was to collaborate with an airplane construction company. Also done with the collaboration  of  Arup London.
