DuPont Corian has announced a special event focussing on the future of façades, with the participation of Stirling Prize winner Alison Brooks of Alison Brooks Architects.
Taking place in the Jarvis Suite at RIBA on Portland Place, London W1B 1AD, on November 11, the evening offers a programme of presentations, discussions and refreshments. Participation is free but attendance is by registration at: www.future-of-facades.corian.com.
DuPont Corian is increasingly valued as a versatile, high-performance solution for façade systems and has been applied in imaginative ways to a wide variety of construction projects internationally, from private villas to hotels and public buildings.
Alison Brooks Architects has first-hand experience of the considerable benefits that DuPont Corian can bring to a project, as the multiple award-winning Lens House by the practice features the material to its angular ventilated façade. This was the first significant cladding project with DuPont Corian in the UK and the design has since been recognised not only with RIBA National and London awards, but also a shortlisting for the Manser Medal and trophies from the Architzer and Grand Designs awards.
The format of the evening, running from 6pm to approximately 8:30pm, will include welcome drinks and introductions, presentations by Alison Brooks and by façade installation specialists Urbana, plus experts from DuPont Corian, followed by a Q&A session and further refreshments, with an opportunity for informal networking. The event is kindly supported by CD (UK) Ltd, the exclusive distributors for DuPont Corian in the UK.
